Darth_Solrac Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Irrelevant to the game obviously. But I wanna add this in for greater detail for my character bio, & RP. Sidious (greatest Sorc./Sith ever) was said to have mastered all styles, right? Which tho did he use when fighting Windu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZayneDraay Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 He probably used Niman in fighting Windu, either that or Soresu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aximand Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Sidious used them all ambidextrously. Its kind of unfair to measure the Sorcerer in TOR against Sidious though, Sid is well... Sid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in answer to the second half of his question, according to the actual game, the Sorcerer at least, has no lightsaber form at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, its something that I find horribly done. BioWare really dropped the ball on that part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I suppose it kind of makes sense considering that you are a slave given no chance to train at all and rely solely on the force, and let's be honest, Kallig is bad ***.

Tis why I asked what style yall he think he used when fighting Windu for example. At least what he mainly looked like he was using. Input still appreciated.

Yea I'll agree with that. The Assassin doesn't even use a Lightsaber form, now that I think about it. What's the excuse for the Consular, though?

Oversight really, I imagine when they get their inevitable canon personalities/abilities then they will just assign a form or two to them, in-game I imagine there would be balance difficulties.

Yea, but BioWare only really used five or so Lightsaber forms, didn't they? I know there's Juyo, Soresu, Shii-Cho, Shien and one other. There's a few that they didn't use.

What's the excuse for the Consular, though? Game mechanics are non-canon. All Jedi learn Shii-cho, though not nescisarily to mastery. Kit Fisto was a Consular and uses Shii-cho, Yoda used Ataru.

Because there wasn't much use of the Saber? Choose your own style or analyze the degault saber stance and animations if you want to guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowpokeking Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I think it's Makashi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valin-krai Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Shadows/Assassins use their sabers a lot. Their forms are easier to guess, Soresu for Tanks. Maul used Juyo and Niman, so damage Assassins/Shadows are probably Juyo or Niman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGames Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 All I can say is that it has to be purple or yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleMagick Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I think Niman is popular among sorcerer/consular types because Niman practitioners supplement combat moves with force powers more often than other styles. For example a common Niman technique is to use force pull to pull your opponent into the path of your lightsaber. Otherwise Makashi for Sith (since its designed for killing other lightsaber users, i.e. Jedi) and Ataru for Jedi (since it also uses force powers in conjunction with combat extensively). The Sith Assassin/Jedi Shadow is a contrivance of this game. Within the context of the Star Wars universe itself there are really just Jedi/Sith who focus more on combat rather than force powers and Jedi/Sith who focus more on force powers rather than combat, and than many more who fall somewhere in between.

Captain_Zone Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Shadows/Assassins use their sabers a lot. I will vouch for that. My Assassin is a killin' machine. Looks like he uses the same form as Maul, whichever one that is. But yeah, instead of Forms, Assassins get Saber Charges. Lightning, Dark, and Surging (Deception spec) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I thought the Saber Charges were interesting... but I never seen it used before in the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenusParadox Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I like to think my Sorc uses Makashi, since she really only uses her 'saber for defense, and she uses a curved-hilt lightsaber. OK, granted, it only curves below the grip, but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Solrac Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) Decided. My Sorc. will use Niman primary, & a customized version of Makashi secondary. Thanks all. Edited April 7, 2012 by Darth_Solrac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
