>a single hit with a lightsaber can be instantly fatal>no armor can protect from it>it doesn't matter which part hits you cause there's no cutting edge or anything like that>only defense is staying out of range, turning your body away, or hitting the lightsaber awayHow old were you when you realized lightsaber duels should look like fencing, not like medieval knights swinging swords around?
It's not that kinda movie, kid.
>>216487576>today, I want to see some high level fencing>oh, let's watch the guys at the Olympics, it'll definitely be the best of the best>mfw
>>216487576Why fencing when they can do more than stab?
>>216487621Because doing anything but stabbing puts you closer to the opponent, who has an instant kill blade if you so much as touch it
>>216487621most swords are for stabbing
>>216487576didnt the dude get his hand cut off? so how is mere touch fatal?
>>216487659If you're fighting for your life and your hand gets chopped off, what do you think will happen next? Given that the enemy actually wants to kill you, rather than pause to make remarks about being your parent
>>216487617you were probably watching epée like a homosexual instead of doing to sensible thing and watching saber
>>216487690>moving the goalpostsi accept your concession
>>216487710>can be instantly fatal>CAN BESince you pretended I conceded, you will not reply to this. Replying again means you accept that you got BTFO
>>216487617epee is the gayest shit
>>216487645>instant kill blade>a-a-actually its no more an "instant kill" blade than a normal blade and i never claimed sopeak dishonest postmaking
I went to a fencing tournament oncethe amount of trash talking was completely unexpected like you're in tight white pants waving a wire at another man not a negro from chicago
>>216487773Normal blades have points and cutting edgesA lightsaber will kill you if the dude lightly moves it into your body from any angleThanks for conceding, by the way
>>216487576a mirror would defect the lightsaver back
>>216487794oh so its not an instant kill blade, got it
>brainless samurai + adventurer movie set in space>too many retarded kids who always have wet fingers watch itThus the origin of these kinds of stupid fucking threads. People who scrutinize this kind of hollow shit to this level shouldn't be allowed to vote, own property, or reproduce
>>216487830Holy shit that's genius. Any examples of mirror armor in SW?
>>216487787Like do they talk like under-educated urban youths who would become astronauts if they din do nuffin with those muffins?
>>216487576Actually force fields can protect against lightsaber. In JK2 you fight a boss who wears armor and you have to disable generators that generate force fields before you can damage and kill him.
why lightsabers when you can just force choke everyone?
>>216487850>defeats all sith and jedishitters
>>216487880>muh canon>muh EU
>>216487880That seems pretty inconvenient. What if you have to fight in a different location?Also damn I gotta replay Jedi Outcast, all I remember is flailing my lightsaber with a random style
>>216487576>no armor can protect from itUhhhhhh....
It should look like fencing if the people fencing didn’t have precognitive powers and magic powers. In the original trilogy Luke fights like a sperg with no training holding a two-hander, which is the most realistic you’ll get.
>cuts through your lightsaber
>>216487576I thought they had some kind of heavy inertia so they swung them slowly
star wars is fantasy not scifi. the lightsabers work like that cuz they do. also star wars is gay and I hate it.
>>216487794no u have to swing it fast enough to make it go vrrrrrroooommmm or it won't kill
>>216487576>How old were you when you realized lightsaber duels should look like fencing, not like medieval knights swinging swords around?10. I was doing fencing. I just though that they wereusing the force on each other to make them swing around
>>216487701>>216487763Hahahah they're all floppy! They're all floppy! Like a soft weiner! They're ALL floppy!
>>216487576I have cortosis weave armor, now what forcefaggots?
>>216487787it's always the gay nerds
>>216487576>>no armor can protect from itMY ELECTRIC STICK CAN BLOCK YOUR FANCY LASER SWORD!HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW???LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
>>216487576that's what makes it the perfect duelist weapon, only your skill can defend you
>>216487830"Lightsaber" is just the name. It's actually a plasma saber.
>>216490262dumb fucking retard kill yourself literally slit your fucking wrists and bleed out in your pathetic hovel
>>216487872>>216487787That reminds me of that joke from Frasier where the dad talks about "inner city kids working their way out of the ghetto with nothing but a foil and a dream."
Foil > Sabre > Epee
>>216487576Small swords and epees are only pointy at the end.
>>216487576>▶a single hit with a lightsaber can be instantly fatal>▶no armor can protect from it>▶only defense is staying out of range, turning your body away, or hitting the lightsaber awayAll incorrect.Darth Vader literally tanks a hit to his shoulder while dueling Luke on Bespin.Even in the OT it was implied that certain armor is resistant to lightsabers.
>>216487576Because they're superhumans with magical powers and it's also a fantasy show for children.
Fencers should dress like this again; I think the immediate danger of having your nose lobbed off combined with the faggy outfits would make it much more interesting
>>216487787>I went to a tournament where a bunch of young men were directly competing against each other in a zero-sum game of simulated deadly physical violence>they amount of trash talking was completely unexpectedAre you retarded?
>>216492238kino fight
Theyre supposed to wear armor, but the writers forget
>>216492471Was that really the best move he could have done there? Why not also twist your wrist and kill that faggot while you're doing le cool helmet block?
>>216487614Lol fucking based ford
>>216487576Dooku sort of took that approach and his saber was designed for it in mind.
>>216492471>>216492511If would have been 100x times cooler if he DIDN'T had a ligthsaber, just a normal knife
were there any lightsaber bayonets?
I made this for /tg/ like 10 years ago, I hope is still relevanthttps://imgur.com/ryMewc8
>>216487576>no armor can protect from itWrong
>>216492778>>216492710fucking 'ell
>>216492238There was a time not too long ago where fencing scars on the face were considered fashionable and manly.
>>216487576saber fencing, not epee or foil.
>>216487576the duels in the original trilogy do look like fencing tho. sometimes nip fencing.
Why don’t they just put light sabers in a machine gun and shoot people with them
