[dual bladed vs dual wielding]

Dual wielding (especially two weapons of the same type) is a meme. If you want the same range as your opponent, and also be a smaller target, you turn your chest, making the second weapon useless. Once shields went out of fashion IRL, the main "offhand weapons" became daggers and flintlock pistols. Figthing with one weapon and turning on the other only for surprise attacks seems the better choice.

 

Polearms with two business-ends were a thing throughout the ages, but the main advantage of a polearm (range) isn't there when you can only touch a small area in the middle of the weapon. Compared to a single bladed saber you have far less options to move the weapon without killing yourself with the second blade. Turning off one blade and using it only for surprise attacks (as seen in the Return trailer) seems way better.

 

Assuming both styles are more effective as single blade with a surprise attack, the pole-saber's longer hilt helps with a better (two-handed) grip, and allows for moves where you swap blades, that can't be done with a single saber. Holding a second saber is mainly an advantage when your opponent doesn't have the force to overpower your main hand.

 

So: polesaber (2H, one blade off) > one saber (2h) > two sabers (one off) > one saber (1H) > two sabers > polesaber

 

I guess that is true but you also have to think about angles with dual wielding a lightsaber per say, you can get a lot of angles and you could hold your own against multiple enemies. double bladed you can do the same, (like seen with darth maul in the first movie) but he used ways to take a break and get away, dual wielding you don't have that much of a problem cause of the mobility you have over it, but all you said was very true.

 

P.S. dual wielding lightsabers don't have to be the same one can be a shoto and another can be normal (like Ahsoka Tano)

I'm not talking game wise but I'm wondering which is better double bladed or dual wielding. If you could it would be great if you would tell me which you think is better and why. Also please give me an answer not just why one is good and why the other is good.

 

Thanks
