Saber Styles

Two things.

First is a trick I found. When you load up a single player level using a single saber, you can type "devmapall" to enable cheats. Then do. "setsaberstyle" to get a list of saber styles. Then you can type in stuff like "setsaberstyle ss_desann", or "setsaberstyle ss_heavy". If you switch to dual or staff you will just do the same moves that they do, but you won't get two sabers or a saberstaff. Single saber with the dual saber style looks awesome.

Second, is something I'm gunna put a poll to. Now that everyone has tried the new styles, which is best? I think I'm going to stick with single. Dual sabers seem too random-like blue. Saberstaff is pretty cool, and the kicks are helpful. If I was going to go for one of the new styles I would do saberstaff.

I realize that a similar poll was made, but at the time it was mostly speculation (or at least it should've been).

Booyah! This Jawa has the right idea! *Points to piccy*

The best of both worlds! In one hand, wield a saberstaff and on another, wield your trusty old fashioned lightsaber!

I think single saber is the best and most versitile weapon. If you want to be the best player in Jk3 single saber is where it is at.

However, I think I will use the Staff, b/c I do not want to be the best, I want be be cool. The Duel Sabers is also cool. I'm going to use all three but, the staff is what you will see me carrying around at least for the first little while.

Am I the only Fast stance afficionado?

Personally, I may go for dual sabers for that very reason, but I'd choose single Light anyday...

And in order to get my award for pedantry: Kueller, sabers are inertialess (or should be) so weight would make no difference, I think.

J/K...And dual gets extra brownie points for the pure cruelty of finishing someone prone off with BOTH! The person who put that bit of unnecessariness (!) in the code was a mite harsh... :)

Dual sabers. Have you any idea how much pain it cuases when you jump and you slice TWO sabers with all your speed and weight into an opponent. It ROCKS!

Well, I like everything about the single saber style, you really shouldn't seperate it according to stances, it all makes up the one style's specialty... but if I was to choose my favorite part of the single saber... it would be yellow... oh and

Well i would choose Dual or Staff Saber because Jk:JA is a new game so if we use single saber throut the game in duels.etc it will be like playing a jk2 mod instead with new moves added like attack kata.

Why don't we try something new avalible in the game?

Staff has a limited yellow alternate, and Dual has a limited blue alternate. When using yellow single as the staff, you can't perform any specials, and when using blue single as the dual, only the lunge special is available. *I'm pretty sure, anyway.*

Personally, I still like Heavy Single the most. Though I will probably spend a lot of time with the Staff as well. :D

I like the saber staff because you can go one-bladed in medium style, but the staff is a bit overrated, IMO. I like the dual sabers a bit better, but if you go one-bladed, you go blue. Not powerful in their own right, but very effective if you maneuver the enemy right.

I just want to know:
Is there a way to go medium style single-bladed with the dual sabers? Or have I not tinkered enough?

Xan... I know how to do it in JK2, but it appears to be different in JK3. Or are you referring to JK3:JA? According to the instructions for JA, it is Jump followed immediately by foward and attack.
