Considering a admin liked the idea of it and thinks the forms that I have recently mixed together through knowledge of star wars a famed characters I think this would be a great addition to the site. I mean you can change it up and stuff and that way when you reach a certain rank you can change your form of fighting with sabers. Also it is better then just having regular forms. Each of these forms were my idea And also I mixed in the history with the characters from the original star wars and what not though I figured I mention something, I just think it would be a great asset to the site that is all, only my opinion Lightsaber Forms Classes Darkside Forms Sith Universal Forms Sith shadow Jedi Jedi Exiles Lightside Forms Jedi Your class cannot use Forms of the opposite alignment, meaning a Sith cannot use Juyo, but a Jedi cannot use Ju Maul as well. For example.. Form I: Shii-Cho Universal Form Form I is a simple technique that requires defense and attack balance, it is learned by Jedi Younglings, however if mastered then it is very deadly and makes hitting the wielder of this technique nearly impossible. Kit Fisto was the only known Master of this technique. Form II: Makashi Universal Form Form II is a technique that is the most efficient against another lightsaber in a duel. With the precise movements of this Form, anyone who has mastered this can be nearly invincible when facing someone wielding a lightsaber. Count Dooku was the best example of a Master in this Form. Form III: Soresu Lightside Form This style is the most defensive of all. This is used by many who specialize more in combat using the Force then in lightsaber battles. Obi-Wan Kenobi mastered this (after Ep. III), but began training in this style after his Master fell to Darth Maul using Form IV. Form IV: Ataru Lightside Form Only a Jedi Master can learn this This style is one that is very powerful. Masters can hardly be seen, as this form is all about jumps, flips, and acrobatic ability. Yoda and Qui-Gon were both Masters of this form. Form V: Djem So Universal Form This style is mainly defensive, and works well against blasters, however the attacks are overwhelming and amazingly powerful, and the user will attempt to overpower the foe using brute strength alone. Form VI: Niman Universal Form Form VI attempts to balance all elements of lightsaber combat, combining the Forms that came before into a less intensely demanding combat style. The result is that the users' skill in each individual areas of lightsaber combat is only moderate. Form VII: Juyo Lightside Form Only a Jedi Master can learn this Intrepid, somewhat direct movements are used in combination with very advanced techniques involving Force-powered jumps and motions. Form VII does not appear as fancy as Form IV, but the technical details of it use very open movements resulting in a very unpredictable battle style. The staccato swings and flow of the form make it seem as if the attacks are not linked - but in reality, it is merely confusing the opponent. Form VIII: Sokan Universal Form Developed by the ancient Jedi Knights during the Great Sith War, Sokan combined tactics that allowed for evasion and mobility with the kinetic motions of Form IV combat. Sokan involved swift strokes of the lightsaber, which were aimed towards the opponent's vital areas in addition to quick tumbles and movements. Combatants made use of large amounts of terrain, trying to maneuver their opponents into vulnerable areas during the course of battles that involved Sokan techniques. Obi-Wan employed elements of Sokan while dueling Anakin on Mustafar in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, when Obi-Wan sought the high ground and used his favourable positioning to defeat Anakin, attacking his weak points. Form IX: Shien Darkside Form Shien uniquely involves a Jedi holding the lightsaber horizontally. The Jedi pointed the end of the blade at the opponent; it was swung in a fast arc while the Jedi punched his or her saber-hand at his or her opposing combatant. Form X: Dual Niman Universal Form The dual saber Niman permitted a Jedi to fight with two lightsabers, one in each hand, as seen in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones by Anakin Skywalker. One of the blades in the wielder's hands was used for attacking while the other one was used for defending, such as parrying, or for more offensive power. Many Jedi trained to use the Niman style in the hopes of gaining a basic knowledge of the dual-bladed attack, but very few Jedi ever totally mastered Niman. Serra Keto, Sora Bulq, and Asajj Ventress were practitioners of Form X; it is also possible that Darth Revan may have been a master of this Form. (This Niman was not to be confused with the Form VI Niman.) Form XI: Tràkta Darkside Form Only a Sith Lord can learn this This is a form of lightsaber combat unique to only one or two of the most powerful Sith. The Sith will keep the lightsaber in their grasp but will keep it turned off. The Sith will then dodge or defend any attacks using the force.Some of the more skilled Sith may launch attacks using the force in between sweeps of the opponent's lightsaber. They will then wait to the right moment and swiftly turn the lightsaber on and off, sending the blade through the enemy's body.This will instantly wound or kill the apposing enemy. This technique is difficult to master and to use it the Sith must be very powerful with the force. It is considered to be a dark form of combat as it takes the enemy by suprise and can be also used outside a lightsaber duel to dispose of somebody in close quarters. It is best used in lightsaber dueling but can also be used to avoid blaster fire. Form XII: Dark Ataru Darkside Form Spinning, jumping and running very fast and very high, masters of Form IV are sometimes only seen as a blur. In order to achieve the acrobatic prowess, amazing reflexes and physical punch of this form, a Sith Lord would focus on the Force, letting it flow deeply throughout his entire physicality, even allowing him to overcome the limitations of old age. The Sith Version of Ataru includes stabs and wide swings with complement the quickness of the user, and make their attacks quick and deadly. Form XIII: Vaapad Lightside Form Only a Jedi Master can learn this This style is all about moving quickly and perfecting simulataneous blows with the lightsaber with that of the Force. The only known Master of this style is Mace Windu, who developed it on his own and used it to complete Form VII. This Form does not require the intensity of the blows, but more of the complete concentration on the technique. When coupled with Form VII it made a style that was focused on the Force and on Strength, making it deadly. However, alone, Vaapad is for a Master whose mind is completely cleared. Form XIV: Ju Maul Darkside Form This form is one of the greatest you can ever attain. Darth Maul was the only known Master of this form, and he had developed it on his own. If he had developed it further he possibly could have been the strongest Sith ever. This style blends Form VII with martial techniques that Darth Maul had learned while he was fighting. With a mix of speed, power, physical grace and completely being absorbed by the Force, Maul was able to complete attacks that would be quick, powerful, acrobatic, and sometimes blended with the Force. Form XV: Riocard Dark Side Form Only a Sith Lord can learn this Riocard is a form of absolute and raw power. The only known Master of this form is Anakin Skywalker, who went under the title of Darth Vader when he mastered this form by blending rage and pure emotions into his form of fighting, making him nearly invincible with a lightsaber. Your swings are wide and concentrated, and seem somewhat sloppy, however, your defense isn't that great, and someone who is quicker or more agile may be able to get through your weaker defense if they can overcome your strong offensive attacks. Form XVI: Nexik Universal Form. Choose {Lightside Variation} or {Darkside Variation} NOTE: Both variations are usable by both sides of Force Users, but a Jedi who uses the Dark Side variation is likely to fall to the dark side, and a Sith who uses the Light Side version is viewed as weak. This form is one that is unique from almost every other, as its focus lies not in the method of fighting the battle, but the manner in which it is won. With the newfound peace in the galaxy, it became increasingly difficult to kill one's opponent in battle without repercussions. As a result, certain Jedi Masters began to perfect a form that showed mercy in the form of sparing the lives of the defeated. Rather than attacking vital areas that would kill on contact, practitioners of this form preferred to attack areas that would incapacitate the opponent, or make further combat impossible, though they would not die. While preferrance differs with the user, the most common target of attacks would be the legs, or just one of them, since it would be impossible to fight effectively on one or no legs. The style with which the battle is fought varies with the user, since the main objective is to create an opening and defend oneself in the meantime. The first Master of this form used elements of Makashi to avoid being bested in combat in general, and the terrain-using advantages of Sokan to create opportunities to disarm the opponent more easily. Some Dark Siders also enjoy using this form, but for a different reason. They would rather see their victims writhe in pain at losing their body parts than let them die a quick, painless death. This is often displayed when the Dark Side users continue to attack the opponent non-lethally, even after their incapacitation. Also, the strategy Sith and Dark Jedi use would be the Trakata technique, fighting with a deactivated saber until the opponent mistakenly left one of their legs unguarded, at which point the saber could be activated to attack. Where as the Jedi use this form mercifully and often use it to capture enemies, the Sith twist and corrupt its power to torture their victims. I am not sure how positive you guys look at this I am just suggesting it. Perhaps we can some how change the history or whatever around for the better of the site. I am not asking to use them or don't it I just thought it'd be a good idea... Please give some thoughts and input... |

I dont like the idea and I will tell you why. Valec's father was a Jedi, he thought Valec the basics. Then Valec became and apprentice to Vader, learning the basic forms of the dark side. He then joined the New Jedi Order and trained with them for over 7 years. He then went back to his true self and practiced and mastered other forms. In another words, a person can learn different kind of Forms, even if they are Jedi or Sith. |

well if you change your alliances then you would only have certain one availble for the light side. Therefore knowing it automatically after all you be a knight or master, Well whatever I just thought it be neat.. that is all. |

I like both concepts presented here, though as Valec says I have also agree that a more liberal inverted sense of saber training and how one goes about doing so succeeds the restrictions and limitations of which confiding one select group to a specific premise. Though what I see to be the crucial factor in this equation is the perceivable style of which pertains to their singular character, so as to say that if one shows more lenience to the art of defense techniques, then suitably he should provisionally follow the teachings of defensive styles, regardless of stature and group allocation. I personally like both ideas presented here, so if we could find the perfect median of the two, then it would be even more so perfect. |

I dont agree with this idea for the reasons Valec stated. You shouldn't be limited, the only limitations are your morale ones - if your a manian you dont really want Niman do you. So to your idea, my input is no. |

Well then make them available to everyone...perhaps if we can some how make it so everyone can choose from one and mix it up that way we just don't have forms we will have forms with mixed history and everyone has a wider variety into using them instead of just normal forms like the ones we have now. Valec has a good point but so we can work out the kinks and stuff it to me would benefit everyone and the site but continue with opinions... |

..I'm sorry if this is an old topic, but this is a topic created by the person I'm claiming is a fake. Let's take a little jab at him, and redirect you to this. http://z9.invisionfree.com/Starwars_Domini...showtopic=13525 Hey, anyone, do those Lightsaber forms look familiar? Well, they F---ing should. He's ripped them off Star Wars Dominion. Oh, and I apologize if I'm coming off as aggressive. I'm generally calm, but this is irritating me. |

Well I certainly don't blame you, Infini. I heard about the Vexas ripoff and then I just recently heard about the ripoff of your character, all by the same person. The things people do because they can't do for themselves is just downright absurd. I call them scumbags. |
