Welcome back, my beautiful freaks, to the (hopefully) final time I need to do this!
Now, this post is simply due to me learning even more about the forms. With that in mind, let's get on to it once again!
Ragdat: As a Battlemaster, Ragdat has experience with all seven forms of lightsaber combat, however, since he's more of the "expert at war" type of Battlemaster, he doesn't know them well enough to teach. He prefers Shien and its dueling variant, Djem
So. However, to help with his mobility, he's implemented elements
Makashi for better footwork and Ataru for implementing physical strikes into his sequences.
Vedere: Vedere is a Niman user, though she has implemented a Soresu
mentality into her fighting style. She's well verse in implementing
Force based attacks in her lightsaber sequences, as you'd expect out of
the Shadow class.
Vizhdam: Like Ragdat, Vizhdam is a Battlemaster, however, unlike Ragdat, Vizhdam is a duelist type of Battlemaster, so he knows all 7 forms
of lightsaber combat. However, he prefers Niman, granting him great
speed and agility, and the training to integrate Force based attacks
into his lightsaber sequences with ease. Unlike Vedere, he has mastered
Niman, meaning he literally has an answer to every combat situation
that he is dropped into. He's also
skilled in TrĂ kata, a dangerous technique that utilized shutting off
then re-igniting the blade to trip up his opponents. However, unlike
the other two Battlemasters on this list, Vizhdam is a technical master,
rather than a battlefield master like Ragdat and Mamine are; his moves
are more crisp and fluid, where as theirs are more sloppy, but he has
less battlefield awareness than they do.
Adaso: Adaso is a master of Djem So and Shien,
which shows how he fights; brute force, powerful speed, and bulwark
defense. He prefers overwhelming his opponents whenever possible, but
isn't afraid to dig in when necessary.
Colmallus: As you'll see if you watch Jensaari1's video on Juyo, you'll
see that anyone who masters it has needed to master at least 2 other
forms. This, coupled with Colmallus' armor being resistant to
lightsabers and blaster fire, gave me the idea that his other two styles
would be to increase his maneuverability and ability to chain Force
based attacks into his form. Thus, his use of Juyo has elements of
Makashi, which was his primary style before becoming a Mandalorian, and
Niman, which gave him skill in both dual bladed fencing and integrating
Force based attacks into his sequences.
Darth Nox: Like Vedere, Darth Nox relies heavily on the Force in combat.
Though,she prefers Soresu, much like Darth Zannah will thousands of years in the future. She uses Soresu to defend herself and the Force for offense, though unlike Zannah, she has overcome Soresu's weakness, and is able to transition into offense relatively easily.
Chas'Raan: She fights very much like Obi-Wan Kenobi; mastery of Soresu
giving her impeccable defense, and mastery of Ataru granting her avenues
of attack. Unlike Kenobi, however, she's not very skilled in
telekinesis, but has great energy defense, being able to absorb or
deflect Force lightning and other similar powers.
Mamine: Mamine prefers Ataru, utilizing her whole body as a weapon, implementing
punches and kicks into her style, as noted by her berserker rages before
her redemption. However, since she began her redemption, she's become a Soresu master, which, interestingly, has a dual blade component, with the offhand blade utilizing a reverse grip to make her defense even further impregnable.
Suthazi: Like all Jedi and Sith, Suthazi is trained in Shii Cho, the
form from which all lightsaber combat stems from. That said, her first
master as a Padawan began training her in Soresu to help her combat her
issues with rage. However, when she becomes Mamine's Padawan, Mamine
will continue Suthazi's training in Soresu while helping her overcome
Soresu's weakness that is a lack of ability to turn their defense into
attack.
Yokonari: Yokonari is very much a Jar'Kai using Ataru fighter, having
mastered the ability to utilize two blade with speed and acrobatics, but
also seeing the weaknesses of Ataru's lack of defense and overcoming
it. During the time skip, however, she's begun training in Djem So, to
give her a better defense against lightsaber wielding opponents. However, her Djem So is built around the saberstaff, which she gains access to by interlocking her single blade lightsabers.
Casek: Though he's a Sorcerer by both training and nature, Casek is a
Makashi user, like Count Dooku from the movies. Also, like Dooku, he
has overcome the weaknesses of lack of ability with blaster deflection
and against multiple opponents. Unlike Dooku, though, Casek is a master
of implementing the Force into his lightsaber chains.
Anstrisil: Unlike most fighters on this list, Anstrisil has mastered
Shii Cho, making him a very random, very unpredictable fighter. He has
taken the basics of lightsaber combat and made them his own, overcoming
the form's weakness at dueling. Most underestimate him due to his usage
of the form that everyone has learned, but he continually surprises his
opponents with unconventional applications of bladework and chaining the
Force into his sequences.
Tavella: Tavella is much like Darth Zannah will be in the future; a
sorceress who uses Soresu to defend herself while she uses her powers
offensively. Unlike Zannah, though, Tavella has trained herself to be
able to use her spells and powers in live combat without needing to
break off and concentrate.
Daashla Myr: Jedi Master Daashla Myr is a Jedi very much like the Jedi
Master An'ya Kuro, AKA the Dark Woman; she teaches students that have a
tendency toward the Dark Side, for one reason or another. She has
achieved complete mastery of Soresu, as this is the style she favors
teaching her students to give them a defensive minded mindset, but
unlike many Soresu masters who implement Ataru to grant her avenues of
attack, she switches to Makashi, as befitting her mindset of controlling
aggression, rather than meeting it.
Brosra: Brosra is a Shii Cho user, pure and simple. She's had no opportunity to train in any other style outside what she's learned from the Padawan's Collective.
Now, this should be the final time I need to do this. I needed to modify Ragdat, Mamine and Darth Nox's entries the most, but that with Yokonari with the saberstaff was something cool I thought up when I saw Jensaraai1's video on Lord Vindican.
Look forward to the next chapters of Rise of Mamine, which will include the Overwatch joke I've been hyping up for a while, and stay beautiful freaks!
