although saber combat may be the similar in MP and SP, that doesn't mean the moves will be. remember in JO, you could rotate your lunge and DFA in SP, but not in MP (after 1.02 anyway). JA could witness the MP toning down of several moves as well. a...  [Read More]

saber staff or heavy single. the rest simply don't match up. these two are the most "solid" of stances. it's hard to punch through them - especially with weaker stances, and their penetration is superior to other stances. the dual sabers do...  [Read More]

i find DFA is easier if you hold down forward, then tap jump+attack. all the moves are available in-game however, hit tab, then select moves, then select your saber style or acrobatics to bring up a list of moves, their requirements, and how to do t...  [Read More]

i've tried all saber combinations, and so far i would have to say saberstaff is the best. the ability to kick as well as throw leaves the other styles for dead in my opinion. the crouch+forward+attack twirly moves with the staff and dual sabers are q...  [Read More]

heavy DFA is hard to get the hang of. it's now executed in the same way that the medium DFA used to be. hold forward, line up your target (they don't need to be in the crosshair, unlike medium finisher, however), and then tap jump+attack together, al...  [Read More]

if the mp is anything like the demo's sp, then single blades will suffer from limited blocking when fighting opponent's with multiple blades. as the first blade knocks yours aside, the second is free to slash you. still, the heavy stance seems to be...  [Read More]

from what i've seen in the demo, i agree with a lot of what he says. while there is more to combat than button mashing, simply running in sabers twirling works well against most reborn, and there's only so much push - close in - slash'ing i can do to...  [Read More]

it'd be good if you could choose your starting stance, allowing you to get the stance you wanted (something you would have been able to do anyway, by picking the appropriate race), as well as play the race you wanted. oh well, medium isn't that bad i...  [Read More]

kicks would be ok, but i think the damage has to be reduced and the risk increased, making them a tactical option, not simply another weapon. if they did 5 or 10 damage instead of 20, were a lot harder to land and execute, and perhaps left the kicker...  [Read More]

a few people have been touting versatility as a valid reason for using a single saber instead of the double or dual, because it has the three stances. but you really have to ask yourself how much you'll use this versatility. if the single saber comba...  [Read More]
