A lot of Clans are based around the Vanilla saber system, including our late Shadow Order clan, and it isn't bad at all, if you try to spam against anyone decent, you will die in 2.5 seconds, hell I used to die to AI all the time trying to spam. You can practice blocks, and they can be done easier if you know which direction to attack. You block attacks with attacks, while I agree Manual Block is better, the vanilla fighting system is still great.

No way to port this character of course, but a model would make this character come to life. This would be amazing.

You'd eliminate the style I primarily use. Also, we've been over this whole Jedi Academy vs Metal Gear Rising thing, let's not do it again, lol. They did do Jedi Academy with much faster speed, it's called "Blade Symphony". It's cool but I still prefer the methodical approach of Jedi Academy. We don't want blur-moving Jedi in a gaming medium, we just want it to look like it does in the movies, and shows, and this is the closest it's ever gotten to that, sometimes it's even better and more exhilarating then watching Obi-Wan vs Maul. There's alot that goes into the COMBAT of this game that other games don't have, I prefer the combat in this game because of the unpredictability of it, you're so close to death with every strike. It's like, for example, let's bring this up for a second, do you want Toukiden, Soul Sacrifice, Gods Eater Burst, just because they're much faster and look a lot cooler, or do you want Monster Hunter? (Though to be fair Gods Eater Burst was incredibly fun) Maybe I'm wrong but most people would prefer Monster Hunter, which is a much much slower game with not as much visual flare, but it's just more FUN to play, people will play Toukiden for like, a few hours, but people keep coming back to Monster Hunter for years. You see the difference? The styles are representative of stances, you can't just elminate everything in favor of speed, because star wars isn't like that in the first place, people with stronger styles often beat people who were way faster, because they know how to use their strength. Vader isn't slow by any means, but by applying his skill and strength, he could overcome much faster opponents who were much younger then him, and easily, at that. Strength matters in the star wars setting, it's not just some useless stat like in most fictional universes where the big brute gets his ass kicked. Blasters, even in-lore, aren't faster then our rl guns.

He's obscure but he seems like such a powerhouse and bad-ass when Starkiller fought him, and that wasn't even the real thing, just some simulation. I have a feeling the real thing would've given even END-GAME Starkiller a hard time.

Even so the shield could easily be made it's own weapon. I can handle all the extra stuff, such as a possible soundpack, making the shield and saber playable in multiplayer and SP, NPC support, etc. I just need him ported is all, then he's home free. Also, thats the Wii version, right?

Yeah, but they said if he was in a T-Pose, it could be done much easier.

I'll try to get ahold of the model in a T-Pose.

I forgot to thank you for this, so, thanks! ^^

We need some Sauron up in here: https://forum.facepunch.com/f/fbx/qryb/SFM-SOM-Sauron-Release/1/ If thats not low-poly enough for Jedi Academy, then we also have Conquest Sauron here: https://www.deviantart.com/oo-fil-oo/art/LOTR-SAURON-561157963 This needs to happen.

Oh damn I really thought he had.

Jeff, you ported Darth Desolous, right?

Anyone interested in re-weighing the hands on the model @@Jeff ported? I could do a soundpack if someone would be down with that.

Dude I didn't even know you watch Yao's videos. But tbh he uploads a lot of Jedi Academy content so I'm sure a lot of people on here watch him.

Yeah I think it's just goggles that they have in place of glasses.

He thanked @@Jeff in the comments for putting it together.

for some odd reason it only has 2 skins despite saying it has more :/

That'd be fine. You could also use dropbox and post them in here. Thats usually the preferred way of making models available to the public, but only if you want to. Unless you wanna send em my way and I can repost them here?

How about the models?

I'm not sure that ever came to fruition tho.

Do you still have that pk3?

capes are usually much shorter then cloaks, real world capes are worn off the side, usually the shoulder, and rarely ever reach past the buttocks, cloaks are how us modern-day peeps see superhero capes, usually goes somewhere nearby the ankles. Fun fact about cloaks, if a swordsman didn't have a shield/buckler with him, he could use the cloak as a shield, it was surprisingly effective at blocking blows with a sword specifically.

I love capes, I love cloaks and capes, I think every battle involving swords, sabers, etc, would be cooler if they had capes.

You're an incredible person, and I love you.

Will do man, hope to see em soon.
