Title: Popularity of forms in jedi and darksiders Post by: Maestro on January 07, 2017, 03:35:28 PM Did some interesting research yesterday, thought some of you might be interested if i shared it. I looked at jedi/sith/darksiders of any significant or notable wieght in galactic history and analyzed their chosen forms.
Jedi: out of a pool of 50 Shii cho 10% Makashi 10% Soresu 6% Ataru 34% Djem so/shien 30% Niman 10% Juyo 8% Sith: out of a pool of 44 Shii cho 9% Makashi 28% Soresu 5% Ataru 9% Djem so/shien 14% Niman 19% Juyo 22% Title: Re: Popularity of forms in jedi and darksiders Post by: Maestro on January 07, 2017, 03:40:22 PM Some notes on these statistics;
1. In the case of jedi or sith battlemasters i only counted the form they used the most or what was their foundational discipline. ( ex yoda, master of all seven but uses almost exclusively ataru.) 2. In the case of true hybrids however, i counted both forms. ( Ex shaak ti, uses a hybrid makashi and ataru) Title: Re: Popularity of forms in jedi and darksiders Post by: Cang Snow on January 10, 2017, 12:28:55 AM Why do you suppose the distributions are the way they are? It seems as though the Jedi are very flashy, while the Sith are very practical and straightforward.
Title: Re: Popularity of forms in jedi and darksiders Post by: Maestro on January 10, 2017, 12:39:29 AM Well, i think ataru is a popular jedi choice for 2 reasons.
1. Jedi are all about the flow of the force and ataru really speaks to that. When paired with even a basic level of soresu for ranged protection ataru is an effective choice. 2. Out of universe i think its because it is more interesting to draw or film characters flipping and flying through the air. For the darksiders being juyo/makashi oriented; 1. The sith know they only really have to worry about the jedi, so makashi to duel them and on the battlefield they cut loose with juyo. 2. Out of universe makashi makes darksiders more dangerous to jedi heroes and juyo gets them super emotional to charge the situation with more expression and drama.

Shii cho 8% Makashi 18% Soresu 5% Ataru 20% Djem so/shien 21% Niman 13% Juyo 15% Title: Re: Popularity of forms in jedi and darksiders Post by: Master Seblaise on January 12, 2017, 01:45:25 PM Ok if you look at the 94 total, jedi and sith, you get some different percentages.

Maybe because Obiwan is so awesome but i always though Soresu was more used ...

Title: Re: Popularity of forms in jedi and darksiders Post by: Maestro on January 13, 2017, 04:57:44 PM I researched wookiepedia, the youtubers vs series, the few scourcebooks i own and compiled a list of 94 of the most prominent and "important" jedi, sith, darksiderers ect and listed their primary (and if they had one secondary) forms and after that its just math.
