Reno_Tarshil Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 While I have no problems with the name and I think it makes sense, I think it would be better if people provided name suggestions to what they think would sound better. I pick Blade Dance but if I had to pick another name, I would also go with Thrusting Slash. I chose this because you first start off by thrusting your Lightsaber(s) back into your opponent and then spin around and slash the opponent.

BrintoSFJ Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I like blade dance. It feels kinda ..romantic...while slashing someone to death . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grayseven Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Nothing wrong with blade dance...but maybe Saber Dance is more appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grayseven Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I thought about Saber Thrust too. The word "thrust" has always conjured odd thoughts in my dark and depraved mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianDavion Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Saber Flurry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno_Tarshil Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 Saber Flurry? I think Flurry is a good base word to use. I think Saber should be something righteous sounding instead maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrutchCricket Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Master Kata. It's multiple moves in one set. It retains "Master" in the title. Win win. Blade Dance sounds too twirly for the kind of warrior the Knight is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diviciacus Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Nothing wrong with blade dance...but maybe Saber Dance is more appropriate. This is the only valid alternative suggestion. I think their reasoning as to why they changed it is moronic, though. Master Strike was a terrible name to start with, and it didn't help that the ability isn't a single "strike" at all but is instead an entire sequence of strikes. Why not just say that instead? "The name was dumb so we made it better." Instead of making up some ******** mechanical excuse regarding Soresu Form - the tank stance - which doesn't even matter because tanks very rarely use what-will-soon-not-be-Master Strike anyway.

Aries_cz Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Flurry is good, and it is also a sort of callback to KOTOR. Dance is fine for Sentinels, but for Guardians, it just feels weird Edited September 5, 2015 by Aries_cz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayseven Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Since Ravage is the mirror, I looked up synonyms for ravage hoping to see something that felt "Light side". About the only thing I saw was Havoc. Since there is a Havoc squad, I wasn't sure it'd be proper to have a Havoc Strike ability but it isn't a bad name really. Edit: Or maybe Saber Havoc? Meh, regardless, I don't think it really matters much what they call it. Master Strike by any other name is still going to be used by Knights.

I agree with this post so much. I always hated the name "Master Strike" because it isnt 1 strike. I find a name change kind of silly but I dont mind a name change as long as they own up to it as "we hate the name" because I buy that. I dont think Blade Dance is a terrible name. Maybe try a few more suggestions but I dont mind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomiSotto Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Well, if Ravage is one word, I guess it should be something similar for a guardian, like a sunburst, blaze, exorcise, perish, decimate, breakthrough.... I dunno. I am sure there is a great nounish verb out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DravenHuntr Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Maybe something around Master Flurry/Rage Flurry? But at least it's not dancing. My twi'lek does enough of that on her own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomiSotto Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 It can't have a negative uncontrolled emotion, like "rage" for a jedi. It has to ooze serenity and control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
