I'm a dual saber man...the jump attack is soo cool. A lil underpowered tho. It's kinda neat when you run in with only one blade lit and then light the second one in front of ur enemy. That'd be kinda scary methinks...:D

Single saber is the greatest of course, but I have been playing alot of the staff style. I think its a good idea to get good with all the sabers styles. A jedi should no how to use a light saber period.

1337 . . . is net-speak for "leet" which is derived from "elite". you'll probably also see "pwn3d" on this site a bit, which translates into "owned" in english.

Single all the way, baby. :D

Single sabers just seem to have more control than duals and staves do. Plus, single sabers are more versatile due to the fact that they have three styles, each with a different use. With staves and duals, you only get one style, then one of the single saber styles. Plus, you can't do the single saber katas or the YDFA when you turn off one saber or one end of the saber.

Duals and staves tend to be more aggressive than single sabers, too, and personally I'm a defensive player. :)

theres a reason that show-off prats like darth maul, and Bok(hah) DIED. theres a reason that the single blade is a trademark of the jedi. staff...using two sabers at once....WRECKLESS.

Staff ISNT a weapon used by the sith just cause u saw MAUL use it doesnt meen its a SITH weapon
plus u may be right about the diff stances u have in single and everythign but STILL doesnt change the fact on the suer of there saber what if ur up against an opponent who knwos what they are doin and knows ALL aspects of the sabers what are u gonna do??it'll be a HARD fight to win if the personis usin a staff saber if he knows EXACTLY whta u can do so i wouldnt rely on the amount of this u can do with a single saber u have to rely on ur own skill and abiliy to KNOW when to do certain moves

rememerb quality not quantity:)

i use only single saber becuse:
1.it have 3 styles and have answers to almost all the attackes of staff and duel sabers
2.when u duel chainging your fithing style is a surprise to your enemy and while he is watching not to be attacked by a DFA u can change to blue style and stab him from cruch possision (lunge)
3.STAFF is a wepon of the DARK SIDE(SITH)

after further consideration, single is the only way to fly. (or at least the best to get your wings) After all what's more rewarding than beating a dual with a single.

(beating Noob would be, actually, but this is really good too)

I'm just trying to learn, I use the single saber as it is the most basic and a great starting place for the fundamental of saber fighting.

I have not yet decided, and will not untill the game is sufficently nerfed, at this point I like using the staff better but my skill with the duals far surpasses my skill with the staff.

I'm a dual saber fan...the saberlocks look SOOO much cooler than the staff or single. Altho they're not that damaging, so ya have to get a lot of hits in. And I don't like how you can't run around after doing the crouch+attack flurry...that rocks in sp :)

I thought I'd decided single until last night when pulled a staff out to show someone. I tried using it like I would strong stance with some good results. Is just wish I could turn off butterfly- its not a spam problem, its just a three second commitment if you happen to hit it and I like to keep moving. I'm not really a kata man, but I would miss the single's fast delivery. Of course, I'm afraid if I go staff I'll embark on a never-ending tourney to find the fabled hilt-bash.
I'm on the fence here, what pushed you guys either way? (For those struggling between the two styles - Double is like driving a 400hp blender.)

I think single saber is the true test of jedi skills, and the true weapon of any jedi. I also find it can be hard to beat in a dual as it has the strong stance (red). I do sometimes use the other types (dual, staff) though.

I prefer to use the single saber. I just glean more satisfaction from using one saber well. Plus it looks cooler to take down someone with dual or staff when you have one. I love the katas (medium especially), and as has been stated, ydfa IS useful. I might change my mind later on down the road, but single wins out right now. :cool:

Yeah, well, the first day I played the game I learned all the most effective combos and specials for all the saber types and stances, and used them in multiplayer too. I just picked single saber because it's better.
Taking the other ones seems a lot like the Dark Side to me.. the quick, easy path.

Heres my train of thought:
You need to open ur mind explore different styles and learn them to ur advantage
the more u know the better u become
so when u stick to just 1 singel style or form ur not expanding at all ur just sticking to 1 lv of style I myself enjoy staff BUT I do also train in dual and single(not much single cause ive had enough of it in jk2)so open up learn ur styles by doing this it will open up ur path to becomeing a TRUE jedi:)
