Does anyone else run your mouth a lot when you duel? I find its pretty effective at disrupting your opponent's general rhythm. Thoughts?

Interesting thought. Personally i tend to not talk at all (or very little) whenever i duel. I'll have to try it and see how it works

Its effective for basically anything involving competition. Trash talk is huge in sports. Quite often if flusters the opponent and throws them off their game completely if you can get under their skin with the right words.

I find its even useful for me because it loosens me up. Concentrating too much closes my mind up for whatever reason and running my jibbs leaves me fluid in addition to bugging the crap out of certain opponents. There's a dirty Sith that doesn't come around anymore that I could count on getting to over commit with a minute or two of prancing around and talking smack. Even the guy that claims to be least effected by it is easier to get in on when I throw moves that don't match the pace of my voice. Its almost like I'm trying to lull him to sleep and then hit him fast.

Me and my old dueling partner used to talk a little smack, though usually we just talked about the fight. We'd run our mouths for the whole duel, just critiqueing ourselves and each other. lol Made it interesting, for sure.

You are right Ultra...basically he was appealing to Ani's arrogance; DARING the 'Chosen One' to try something anyone else would know better than but which Obi knew Ani couldnt resist because believing in himself as 'spesh-shul' the normal 'rules' for anyone else would apply to the Chosen One...he'd have to take that dare...
...but what if he hadn't, what if he'd guided his platform 20 yards up or downstream and stepped off then rushed Obi on land hmmm?
Obi was depending on Dun Moch working to win the battle...if it had backfired things could have been very different eh?

Yeah, sometimes. M e and my training partner talk constantly when we're working. Not so much when I duel with other people though. Maybe I oughta try it more.

Kenobi was in a superior tactical position either way. Vader (since he was Vader at that point) moves and he shadows him. At that point it became about position. Kenobi had it and Vader was going to have to fight a smarter fight than he was capable of to win. Kenobi applied BOTH Dun Moch and Sokan flawlessly. |

I would have used lightsaber throw. That'll teach him!
I've insulted Darth Invisible Guy, quite often. He doesn't like it.

Im always finding myself teaching someone or working on perfecting moves, so talking is something I do a lot. In a real duel, I usually try to have fun with it. I enjoy it. So you will see me crack a smile and start laughing once in a while. Taunting I think can be healthy amongst duelers. Especially common sparring buddies. True, you are getting better and noticing your flaws, but you cant take things too serious, in my own opinion. Its that sense of enjoyment and respect for the duel as well as for the other person I think. Taunting itself, well, you could do that. But personally I think I would find myself just having too much fun with it. The whole "Yo mamma thought Jar-Jar came with pickles-pickles" thing, not really my style all the time.
