Advanced_Decoy Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Before we do that I want left handed jedi/sith! it really annoys me that I have to hold the lightsaber right handed when in the lore the average sith was left handed. I know how you feel. I was disappointed as well. I wanted to add having changeable primary hands, but for this thread I wanted to focus on reverse-grip.

Incrediblebox Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Atleast you would be able to see all the 14 year olds a mile away. I can already do that. Oh look a Zabrak Assassin with some version of the name Darth Maul. Oh boy you kids get so cleaver sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingoperson Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I don't think those are Lightsaber combat forms. Anyone who has ever been to Japan would know that each of them has their own combat form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyurii Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Well for the guardian and juggernaut it doesnt make sence based on the forms of lightsaber combat they use. Schii-Sho, Soresu and not even SHIEN uses the reverse hilt, remember that "shien" here is the FORM V (which i think should have been called DJEM SO instead, which is clearly based off Anakin, as the guardian/jugg, are based on Obi-wan/Anakin), Not the Form IX. So by the lore it doesnt make any sence. Shien is part of Form V... Shien and Djem So are Form V. By the way, wth is Form IX??? There's are no eighth or ninth forms. As for the subject of an entire set of combat animations revolving around reverse-grip 'saber wielding... This is just yet another in a long, long line of threads on the subject, dating back beyond the game's release. There are already reverse-grip animations for certain attacks, typically as part of a series of attacks like the Consular's basic attack. It finishes with a reverse-grip slash. Honestly though, a total reverse-grip "combat style" would look retarded, and would be a pointless waste of resources better spent on other things. Probably explains why it's not in the game at this stage. Would look ridiculous and a waste of resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimthegray Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I don't think those are Lightsaber combat forms. true but there are light great blades, long handled light sabers, light foils, light whips , cross guard sabers ...etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced_Decoy Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 true but there are light great blades, long handled light sabers, light foils, light whips , cross guard sabers ...etc lets stick with the light saber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingoperson Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 true but there are light great blades, long handled light sabers, light foils, light whips , cross guard sabers ...etc I was thinking maybe the light-épée as a separate fighting style. There's an example here: http://www.takehimwithyou.com/images/fencing.jpg This would only be available to Light side characters since it's a more honorable form of fighting.

jimthegray Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 lets stick with the light saber there are types of light sabers used in universe ..well not the whip and light foil is in the game but they made it a training blade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starsunder Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The most notable user of this Shien form is Galen Marek, Aka Star Killer. Although it has been seen in other incarnations and in books before. From Wookiepedia "Marek was also highly skilled in the use of Shien, heavily favoring the unorthodox reversed grip of the form. He practiced a variant of the style known as "Sith Shien", a fighting method that relied on sudden and rapid attacks to bring down an opponent quickly." Im all for any customization choices in game, the more the better... I would likely use the form on my Mara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caelrie Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Reverse grip is stupid. It's not an effective or even a real fighting style with a sword, despite what George Lucas did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced_Decoy Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Reverse grip is stupid. It's not an effective or even a real fighting style with a sword, despite what George Lucas did. But it is still a fighting style used in the Star Wars timeline, and has made a few important impacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zirithil Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) [supporters] Please don't. I am not saying this to be rude but to be kind; nothing good will come out of this. Either this thread will soon die or you're only going to damage your health if you are going to insist on writing down every people that support this idea because it will, not to be rude but to be realistic, not lead anywhere. It's only for your own benefit when I say that you should focus on something else. PS: I only saw the word "whip" on page 7, does this mean someone has mentioned how awesomely awesome it would be to have a friggin' light-whip? Final Fantasy 8 Quistis-style, except, with a laser whip. Edited January 7, 2012 by Zirithil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnySiniwali Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 In point of fact, holding your weapon in the reverse grip is for scrubs. I know we all watched ninja movies and they looked all ****** doing it, but it sucks. For real. Don't believe me? Go swing a bat at a baseball while holding it in reverse grip. Hell, do it off a t-ball stand. I bet you it doesn't go half as far. Yes, I know this is a video game. Yes, I know it would look cool. I am not totally against it, but just wanted to throw it out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimthegray Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) there are bladed weapons that are used reverse grip, for example but that is not important, in star wars it is cannon that some users fight in this style this makes it a legit request no matter how small a request or unlikely that it will get implemented.

alexpeters Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 They would have to do a whole new set of animations. If they did though it should be a form unlocked for Marauders/ Sentinels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
