Idea for Jedi Knight.

[Symbiot Spider]

I have been thinking about this for a while now and I wanted to hear some input first.

I was thinking about a jedi mastered in Jar'kai and Trakata. He/she would also wield two, double-bladed lightsabers and would rarely use all four sides at the same time. Mostly switching with trakata to throw off opponents and such.

Also was thinking about the technique (forget the name) where the user uses the force to wield another lightsaber as a shield or attack... But also being a double-bladed lightsaber.

Ok go!

Zis plan... I am not sure about 'er. She seems, 'ow you say... impractical.

 

[Guardian Six]

telekinesis has it's own form. Kung Fu masters fight with ONE staff, not two for a reason.

 

[TheTrodaire]

He sounds bad***, but that would be the hardest thing to wield two double bladed sabers,the most I've seen any Jedi wield was in a SWTOR trailer where a Devaronian Jedi had a double blade and regular.

 

[Rameth]

If he kept one side of the lightsabers off most of the time I could see it being a good, but very unorthodox, trick for fighting. Applying it in combat in the RP would be fairly hard I think but doable.

Now holding two double bladed lightsabers, turning them on and off in combat with the force and maintaining concentration to hold a third would be almost impossible to do I think. If you mean to hold one and telekinetically use the other, maybe but only for a Master.

Actually he was a Zabrak. Devaronians have two larger horns. And he only used that style for all of ten seconds before switching off a blade, which demonstrates just how impractical such a combat style was, even for a Jedi Master.

This guy said something similar. http://www.thestarwarsrp.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31540
If I sound frustrated or annoyed, that is the reason why.

For some reason, this whole idea of more blades is awesomer seems to have been spawned by SWTOR, and was encouraged by some god forsaken CGI designer and not an actual martial artist. I pray to god that SWTOR doesn't totally **** up people's perception of what's possible; and I will beat someone if they tell me the events in SWTOR are canonical. I don't care if Lucas' face is printed on the cover of the box.

In short, you want to wield two long-handled lightsabers with the purpose of utilizing the secondary blade within each to surprise your foe, whilst wielding a second double bladed lightsaber with the Force. JESUS CHRIST MAN. SIX BLADES. It's just not necessary, and it's so gimmicky that you'll have trouble roleplaying a combat scenario that doesn't allow you to use your gimmick, because you'll be more concerned about creating the opportunity to use your gimmick than actually fighting.

If this keeps going at this rate, having one lightsaber will make you uniquer than anyone else. No offense to you Pyronide, while your Force manipulated Double Lightsaber is way over the top, at least you've admitted you can't feasibly use two doublebladed lightsabers at once with all blades activated and not work at a circus. I can get the purpose behind the trakata and dual wielded doublebladed lightsabers.

Essentially, TL;DR: Go ahead with the two double-bladed lightsabers. Drop the one manipulated by the Force, it's not going to get you anywhere. But beware, I am betting you'll be so concerned with creating the opportunity to use your gimmick that you'll be killed in the process.

I stand by Xyr on this

Very true. And if your opponent has a better hold on the Force, they can knock out the levitated lightsaber or even take control of it. Two double lightsabers seesm impractical and the only good method of usage that I can think of is similiar to Greivous's Happy Spinning Blades of Goodness.

Spoiler: Happy Spinning Blades of Goodness

 

[Michael Scott]

which if you noticed, he only used two at a time.

 

[Jiang Winters]

I don't think it'd be possible to use two double-bladed sabers simultaneously.

 

[Guardian Six]

maul barely used one.

 

[Rameth]

I don't think he wants to use them with all four blades activated at the same time. I think he wants to only duel wield and turn the other sides randomly on and off during the battle. Which I think is possible.

Also Maul used one quite well I think.

 

[Xyrael]

He wants to use it like a standard dual wield, only with surprise lightsabers at the base of each pommel he can use against people at the right moment. The only problem is that it's a pure attack maneuver used against another opponent who is also attacking (in order to have fallen into the trap, it wouldn't work against someone defending) which means that you're going to die because you didn't defend, and he might die if he doesn't block or dodge it. The reason it worked in the CGI video is, for some reason or another, the Sith was relishing his victory of the Jedi, who then surprise cockfag'd the Sith. At best, I can see this technique being the equivalent of trading a queen for a queen in RP.

 

[Guardian Six]

Also Maul used one quite well I think.

he died didn't he?

 

[Rameth]

he died didn't he?

He only died because Lucas made it so. I mean he was fighting both of them at the same time, and winning, but was killed by a surprise attack cause he was "taunting Obi-wan". He also wasn't using a double bladed saber at the time, could have made all the difference.

You better watch under your bed. Maul is watching you :CIsee

 

[Matt]

We seem to have alot of people trying to do really silly lightsaber forms and such.

What's wrong with the seven normal ones?

 

[Green Ranger]

Anyone else care to join me in flipping the bird at Blur for the Return trailer?

Oh is that where he is getting it from?

 

[Symbiot Spider]

My concept did come from the trailer, but it is not how I want to use it.

The way I think about it is to use trakata to switch hold of the blade. Moving from a regularly held blade to the reverse style of Unleashed (or whats her face from clone wars) without spinning the pommel.

Sometimes blocking with the blade normally will create distance while blocking with it reverse bring you closer to the opponent so you can create another attack. I have though this through, no it would not be grievous of the clip of the guy wielding three blades at once.

The way I am trying to go about this is to nickname him/her "the liquid lightsaber" imagine the blade of the lightsaber. Now, as he/she switches sides, they could move the handle along the "blade" and it would appear that the blade is the same size but giving the optical illusion that it is passing through the hilt to move to the other side.



...and for the record Maul comes back :P
