I already tried that before I put up a CTF class. If you can get some responses and some interest and arrange a time and date with the people interested, then I'll put it up. :)

welcome to week 2 of the Basic Sabering Skills for TFFA class

last week we went over strafing, aiming, and aerials.
if there are any questions or problems concerning what we taught last week, please speak up now!

ok, this week we'll be going over some of the more advanced red stance techniques!
the techniques we'll be showing today will give you a more varied repetoire of moves, allowing you to switch things up and
maybe get a leg up on your opponent.

the first technique is the delayed combo swing.
i hope you all know how to combo in red stance!
if you can't, well not really my problem Sad.

anyway, combo delay swings are just red stance combo swings broken down into individual swings.
so instead of 3 swings coming one right after the other
/show normal 3 swing combo
, there's a longer pause with combo delayed swings
/show combo in delayed form
however, that pause is a tad shorter than the pause between starting a whole new undelayed swing.
this is the timing of undelayed swings.
/show 3 separate swing
this is the timing of delayed swings
/show 3 delayed swings

alright, delayed combo swings are good for switching up ur timing
becuase if all we did were combos and single undelayed swings, the timing can be easily grasped by opponents.
and that's not a good thing!

so to do a delayed combo swing: attack + directional button, let go of attack, hold attack again, press direction button.
and repeat for another swing!
*note: you can only delay rightforward, right, and rightback swings!

/show delays a few more times

now try that out for a few mins
make sure you get a feel for the timing
when u think you have a good grasp for the timing try moving around, using the delays as if you are fighting someone.

/check if most of the class gets it

note: you can also add in some jumps by timing a combo delayed swing to hit right before you land

/show jumping delayed combo swing

the next technique is the glide delay swing.

glide delays is another move of switching up your timing! it's a deceptive move and has good defense breaking power.

to perform a glide, simply run in any direction, stop the run and hold jump at the same time
do all that and in quick succession, you'll perfrom a glide jump.

/show glide jump

now, activate a swing right before u land from the glide jump and you'll do
a swing without the wind up motion (hax).

/show glide delay swing

now try that out for a few mins

the glide delay swing can be turned into an aerial too!
to do this: glide jump, activate a swing b4 u land, and as soon as you land, jump towards your target

/show glide delay aerial

try that out for a few

the next technique is the backflip delay swing

a backflip delay swing is a swing that's delayed by a backflip.
it's yet another move that can be used to throw off ppl.
this is a backflip delayed right swing.

/show backflip delayed right swing

to perfrom the move: 1) swing + turn your back to the target 2) backflip + turn to face the target

/show them very slowly

the trick is just to have coordinated turns and an accurate backflip

/show them very slowly

that's really all there is to it. the only hard part is getting the speed and timing of the turns.
eventually you would want the turns to come fast and natural.

/show them fast

now try that out for a few mins.

/check if most of the class gets it

note: you can turn regular swings, combo swings, combo delay swings, or glide delay swings intos backflip delays

/show a few examples

the next move of this endless move teaching marathon is the cartwheel...delay
ok no one calls it a delay. a cartwheel is one of those lara croft flips that you can do.

/show regular cartwheel

if the cartwheel is immediately preceeded by a swing, it can be turned into a high damage unorthodox move.

/show mighty cartwheel attack in different stances

now to perform a cartwheel in red stance you must first do one of the left swings--leftforward, left, or leftbackward.

/show swings

so perform a swing and hold attack, and as the swing is about to end, press left/right + jump

/show cartwheel

alright, try that out for a few

to aim with the cartwheel, you try to position urself and ur jump so that your saber will come into contact with your opponent.

note: you can combo a cartwheel!

/show combos with cartwheels

cartwheels just act as a swing in the combo. so you can swing, cartwheel, swing. or swing, cartwheel, cartwheel.

this is the basic sabering for tffa class.

if you're enrolled, great. if you're not, well, who cares.

we'll be going over some sabering techniques that are commonly used in tffa.

,starting from the basic things and then on to the harder stuff.

lol. that's wut she said.

anyway...today, we'll be going over aiming and aerials for red stance.

if you already know the stuff, awesome, this will be a waste of ur time.


ok. we begin by practicing aiming.

aiming is obviously important.

if you have bad aim, u will miss...or not hit as hard as u should.

the trick with aiming well in red stance is just smart usage of the swing.

meaning don't aim with just one section of the swing.

instead, you want use as much of your swing as possible.

you want to have the saber in ur opponent for as long as u safely can

, which often means hitting earlier, with the beginning of your swing.

we're going to practice some aiming exercises now

so find urselves one of these pillars
shoot a spot about this high
that spot will be ur target

to hit as early as possible you want to turn so u position urself at an angle

where the early part of your swing can make contact with ur target

/show

the correct angle varies for each swing, but for now we'll do the right swing

the beginning of the saber swing will now come in contact with the target
/show

as it makes contact, you want to turn your mouse/move ur body to keep the saber in the target
/show a few times

now practice that for a few mins.

now apply the same aiming priciples to other swings like the overheads and right diagnals.

position urself so the beginning of those swings can make contact with ur target

/get them to practice aiming with overheads, and diags


now let's move on

Aerials are commom moves used in JKA.

It's relatively safe and hits pretty hard.

In TFFA aerials, especially high jump ones, are good for surprising your opponent.

We'll show you a few common aerials.

first is the regular, bunnyhop Aerials--a swing with a hop jump
just pick a swing
and hop towards target
but do it in quick succession
/show

now practice that for a few mins.

the next type of aerials is the flip jump aerials.

it's the same as the bunnyhop aerials except the jump is a flip jump

you can vary the flips, forward, right, or left flips

*run forward, let go of foward and immediately press right/left+ jump


so pick a swing and flip jump to ur target.
/show

reg flip jump aerials: pick a swing, flip jump to target
/show

now practice that for a few mins.

now the last type of aerials we'll cover is the high jump aerials

just high jump up, pick a swing, and come down on target with it.

/show

now practice that for a few mins.

nice quote on your sig... i'm gonna be fairly inactive for a while as my vacation has ended. it was nice to see a new player on the server. this is going to be the best period in your jka career as there's no where to go but up! it is always nice to see someone eager to learn as i was and still is the same. i wish you the best of luck in your training.

it is probably natural to not understand some of these concepts at first. where possible you should as a more experienced player for some clarification. i recommend and member of the jaa or even jaina if she's around.

seeing as i can probably no longer help you on the servers anymore i wish to impart to you some stuff that'll help you in your training. here's some lesson plans i've created a while back when i was teaching the jaa class. i think it'll really help you out--maybe not now but definitely as you start to understand the concepts behind sabering a bit more. keep an open mind, absorb what works and discard what does not :)

Thanks Cuth,

I'm still reading through the forums and such. It's pretty amazing people are willing to offer classes. Do people also play/organize matches just for fun?
