Title: What Form should you use?
Post by: Oramac on December 12, 2012, 04:03:49 PM
Stumbled across this quiz to tell me what Form I should use.  Surprisingly, it actually said Djem-So for me with Vaapad a close second, which is what I'd normally want to use.

Thought it might be fun to see how accurate it is versus what we actually study.

http://quizfarm.com/quizzes/quiz/JediMasterYoda/lightsaber-forms/ (http://quizfarm.com/quizzes/quiz/JediMasterYoda/lightsaber-forms/)

My results:

You Scored as Form V - Shien/Djem So
Shien exploits the ability to redirect blaster bolts, sending them back at the enemy. Djem So, a strength based form, is used in duels. Form V is aggressive in both forms.

Form V - Shien/Djem So   
87%
Form VII - Juyo/Vaapaad   
80%
Form I - Shii-Cho   
70%
Form II - Makashi

Form VI - Niman

Form IV - Ataru

Form III - Soresu

[note: mods move this if it's felt to be in the wrong section]

I got Niman, which is kind of surprising but I'm happy with the top three results nonetheless.

You Scored as Form VI - Niman
Form VI seeks to balance the emphases of forms I through V. Niman allows a Jedi to fight with harmony and justice without having to resort to powerful, aggressive movements or overt emotion.

As expected! I wasn't sure how to answer the questions about deflecting blaster shots, so I just used pillows, stuffed toys, and balls when answering those questions as those are the 'blaster bolts' I deflect when my son throws them at me.

You Scored as Form III - Soresu
Form III was created in response to the advancement of blaster technology in. Soresu's emphasis on tight, efficient movements that expose very minimal target areas make it the most defensive form.

Keep em coming guys!

I'd say more Ataru like Qui-Gon but that is at the bottom of the list.

Does that say anything about what I thought I was doing and what I actually was doing.  :)

I would say I'm surprised, but I'm not. My top two results are the two forms I use the most.

 You Scored as Form III - Soresu Form III was created in response to the advancement of blaster technology in. Soresu's emphasis on tight, efficient movements that expose very minimal target areas make it the most defensive form.

Post by: Daniel Anteron on December 12, 2012, 11:51:33 PM
:D Nero that's so surprising. Makashi is my second preferred form. I mainly like Soresu due to how awesome the spins look. When I'm sparing I generally use Makashi. Especially since I lead with my left hand. It throws a lot of people off balance because of it. :)

I tried to answer this truthfully as to my real-life style, versus any supposed "character style". And it has already been suggested to me that I study Vaapad, so this isn't so surprising. Nice to see Shien/Djem So highly ranked too :)

Interesting.  I definitely use Juyo and Shien a lot, but I was surprised that Makashi didn't come up higher.  I don't use a fencing stance or motions, but I like to feint my attacks a lot.  I based this off of the sparring I participate in with my reenactment group.

I have some Ju Jitsu training but I haven't practiced any of these lightsaber forms yet.  I'll find more time and a sparing partner soon. I have read the 7 forms discourse though.

Here's what I scored. Think I should follow its suggestion when I'm at the point of specializing?

It's totally up to you.  Keep in mind the little test posted here was created by some random guy (not me) and is not scientific in any way, shape or form.  Consider all the ramifications of the spec you choose before you choose it.

Yeah when I roleplay, if someone cannot be reasoned with or find that negotiations failed then it comes down to a duel. If the person(s) in question bests me in lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat, then I back off and let them be; no unnecessary blood-shed or casualties. I will only use the force in combat in extreme situations.

I'm not entirely sure how that happened... I almost always use a fairly defensive style. I guess the bits about ending the duel quickly are largely to blame... perhaps I should focus a little more on aggression ;D
