It might be a good idea yeah. But i'm not gonna touch an anim until i see how razorace's saberlock/microsaberlock system will work. Then I'd primarilly focus on making the anims for fluid if needed....  [Read More]

Well renegade...i'm not saying i totally dislike your view of combos... i'm just saying i prefer razor's cuz of a few points: *more variety - instead of having, let's say, 10 moves plus 5 predetermined combos, you can have 10 moves and can do them a...  [Read More]

I dont have a problem about having both, but i dont think it's a good idea to allow the mboth to work at the same time. Imo if we go for distinct systems i'd make a server option to dictate what type of saber fight is enabled on that particular serve...  [Read More]

To be honest i kinda like the kendo moves idea. But as far as i know renegade and razor also want some prequel duel flash to it. In fact both blue and yellow stance are too spinny... the best moves are definetly red stance for single saber. They wou...  [Read More]

The switch you mention could just be automatic... like the special attack after a sucessfull saberlock in JA. So that way if you succeed at a parry and perform an attack right after it's automatically the counterattack, but if you wait a second afte...  [Read More]

I'm glad you liked the fake idea. I'll explain further. Parrying is used from a defensive stance while faking is used in offensive stance. The word stance is not to be taken as in the stances we know in JO/JA... but rather as player/character attitu...  [Read More]

I like razor's idea of dynamic comboing over the pre programmed and automatic combos in which you have no power to change and/or stop at will. All the moves from all the stances are usable as long as they are equalized to yellow speed standards imo....  [Read More]

Yes Keshire i agree... i guess i forgot to add that lil' tid bit of info. Indeed Walking should be default and of course the saberlocking factors razor talked about are needed here. The microsaberlocks should give the impressions the sabers are indee...  [Read More]

Well, i've had the chance of discussing such matters with both renegade and razor. What I initially sugested to renegade was a duel/powerduel only game mode with high emphasis on realistic saber combat. In the said system, all sabers have the singl...  [Read More]

Sounds Good so far Razor. What do you really think about getting rid of the stances and create one fully customizable stance where you buy the moves to create your own personalized style... this for all sabers of course... just like you buy the forc...  [Read More]

I agree. I'd add: - Make bots use all the available moves for the particular saber they are wielding since most of the times they dont use them. - Improve the AI a bit. Like in StreetFighter, the AI made the CPU controlled enemies use the right co...  [Read More]

Well another way of putting it would be making all saber blade deal the same ammount of damage... then apply the hit location modifier. Make the yellow swing speed the base speed for all stances. Then make the stances nothing more that a style of fig...  [Read More]

Well regarding the saber blade length, I good realistic way of dealing with it is making the longer blade harder and slower to control. I know lightsaberblades have no mass and all but it would be for the best to assume they do. I'd make them move l...  [Read More]

I'll speak as a modder here. :) Whenever I fire up 3ds max and set up a new character for a game (being original or based on another) I tedn to use a in-theme concept. I wouldn't do a batman model for JA nor would I do a Jedi or an ewok for Quake or...  [Read More]
