and that's why I have force speed and precognition maxxed out.
not to mention jump.
I'll move three rounds before you know your looking at me to behind where your looking at me from.

I don't like getting cornered I have to say.

Stealth and Speed, eh? Huh, Sith have that Assassin class- I wonder why Jedi don't have a class attuned to a quick character type? Tho, I guess that could be anyone using Form IV... (too much KotOR!! @.@)

I actually made up my own style.
the concept is based around removing the weilder in the moves of the blade, I switch from hand to hand, making fast attacks from all angles, as if I am not even touching the blade, I sometimes quite litteraly throw it from one hand to the other across the target range.
I move it as if I'm not even there to be in the way.

I haven't thought of a name for it though, something that means "the dancing blade", or "the unwielded blade" would fit the best, but I don't know for sure.

No way! I used an 'unheld blade' technique in one of my old comics! Used it to counteract a lightsaber that used vibrating crystals to injure a Jedi RIGHT thru their own blocks.
Sounds kewl, and seems like totally plausible moves for a Jedi!
You COULD say you have a variation on a Jedi-Sniper style (granted they probably didn't exist, as they were in that Ep3 game) -in the sense that they were attuned to their connection to their sabers, thru the Force.
I kinda like Form V. It's slow, but has a solid defense, and focuses on using an opponent's strikes against themselves.

I practice it IRL to a point, most people don't want to spar with kind of style, which can be problematic, though it is understandable.

I wonder if soretsu could even block it, the blade never needs to reset and never gives the opponent time to reset unless they withdraw from the melee entirely.
and once you do that, I bring ranged offensive moves into the mix, which would just make styles almost pointless.


thinking about it more, a blade made for this style would benifit from a timer release on the blade, so that it would stay on while passing from hand to hand, but if it does an unintended movement it would time out and shut off so it doesn't cut the user in half or something.

wouldn't be able to saber throw with it then though, unless I kept a line of string like force around the activation pressure panel.

but then if I figured out to do something like that, I could puppetmaster it and actually not be phsyicaly welding the blade just like the style represents.


I think I might be over thinking this.

*raises hand* Oh! Oh! I'd duel ya!!
I thought the point of keeping the saber close to oneself in Soretsu was to give you that extra fraction of a second to prepare for ANY oncoming attack and can defend against multiple opponents. So i wouldn't underestimate it.
I think you'd have an advantage over someone like Master Luminarii tho. It appears that perfectionists at saber combat put themselves at a disadvantage against the unexpected. At least that's how it seemed when she fought Ventress' random and unrelenting style.
It sounds like you're focusing on onehanded strikes, so you MAY have to worry about someone simply powering thru your defences. Tho if you can dodge, that might work to your advantage...

the one handed strikes is from the 2nd form base I gave it, using the properties of the weapon to kill quickly and effecently.

and yes, I am in a perfect position to dodge, if I'm willing to let go of my saber completely and disarm myself.

of course, I could just carry extras, or force pull it back to my hand.

though a part of this style, if the force is applied, could be used to wield numerous sabers at once, it would make for a most interesting battle I think. we know of dual wielding, but what about deca-wielding?

the force is a most useful creative tool no?

Heh, and I was only thinking about those moves in the ol' Jedi Power Battles game, where the character holds still, and his saber whips all over around him, on it's own accord.
Wielding multiple sabers like that WOULD be pretty kewl to see. ^^

yeah, I'd like to mess around with that.

Huh, an interesting study on the limiations of force-deflection.

Yeah... I think this stuff through WAY too much. ^.^;

On the bright side it';s entirely logical, I doubt even wookiepedia has such a well thought-out study on force deflection.

Makes me wonder how unarmed deflection of blaster bolts is suposed to work anyway, given that they have no solid projectile to push back...

they use the force on a different wavelength, kind of like the two different types of shields in starwars, partical and energy shielding.

Yeah, when you've got someone like Vader, a lot of these rules just get tossed out the window. Although that move MIGHT be a variation of Force Protection. A technique that's supposed to require a LOT of concentration and Force mastery to create a powerful bubble of protection. So far- it's only been used ONCE in the entire Clone War. And there was also a technique in 'Tales of the Jedi' where a Master could use a simple walking stick to deflect lightsaber blows. -But I'd assumed this was a lost-technique. Dern Sith... makin it look all easy and stuff... :p

And the ironic thing is, back in kotor 2 it was a pretty basic technique...

Well, that's the advantage of training under Ancient Jedi- I'm sure they had PLENTY of fun techniques back then. ...which also explains Jeric's powers, as he was an archeologist of sorts.
Feh, then there's The Force Unleashed- get enough points on Saber Deflect and he can just 'wave' blastershots away. :p

Yeah, but he was kinda a throwback to earlier times with a creative method...
