The FIVE Lightsaber Combat Stances in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - New Details
Ойын-сауық
This morning Game Informer released a new interview with Star Wars Jedi Survivor game director Stig Asmussen. In it, he provided more details on the new lightsaber fighting stances Cal Kestis will get to use. Each will provide a unique combat advantage for certain situations. The first is the standard, single blade stance from Fallen Order, which is seen throughout the trailer. I expect the double blade stance will also return, which was better against groups of enemies. The separated, dual blade stance is new to Survivor, seemingly favoring speed over power. The article confirms the blaster and lightsaber combination, which adds some range to the player’s arsenal, and Asmussen comments on how it speaks to Cal’s characterization as an unconventional Jedi in unconventional times, using techniques the Jedi Order would have frowned upon. Finally, we have the crossguard stance, which favors power over speed. Asmussen says it’s weighty and the timing windows are longer, so you have to be careful how you use it.

I thought that crossguard moveset was like a Dark Souls Greatsword! Can't wait to see the blaster combo.
You bet I'm using that crossguard to Kylo Ren my way through the game

I always loved the combat style with more heavy and impactful strikes, compared to the extremely fast movements in the prequel movies.

As a souls fan who prefers ultra greatswords that swing once every 2 seconds, it'll probably just be the beat stance to play in imo, but we'll have to see when there's actual gameplay out. So excited for this game!
I can’t wait for the double saber stance, brings back memories from TFU2 days lol

Blaster and Saber, I was running that combo back in the West End Games days 😁

My thoughts exactly. Westend games had the best well rounded rules, except for the force powers with how too in depth and convoluted. The upkeep on a power gets harder and harder, which i get but at the same time. Force telekinesis a person is difficult, if ur 3 power ability scores are crap its stupidly hard, and wasting ur character pts
They need to add (at least an option) for more realistic enemy damage, lightsabers don’t just bounce off when you kill a trooper

When i read that firstly i thought oh cool this guy has a Konata pfp, Seconfly i thought of the equaliser in spider-man ps4 where it makes everone one hit.
With all of these combat stances and ability to switch between his weapon’s configurations, I think Cal would stand as an excellent example of a combat-oriented Form VI Niman specialist much like Exar Kun.
@kingjonstarkgeryan8573
Жыл бұрын
My fellow Jedi Master, while I concur that Cal is a specialist in Form VI Niman, his technique and bladework is far less refined than that of Exar Kun or our Battlemaster forebears such as Kao Cen Dratach. His mindset is an exemplar of of the Form's emphasis on balance and adaptability.
I really thought the blaster would be for a companion character, but if Cal gets to use blasters AND lightsabers, this will be so fun lol
Cross guard stance better be the way to the big dad build
You know people are going to try to do a blaster only run. You could even call it the Kessel Run

Love it how you’d be able to attack at the same speed regardless of whatever lightsaber type you use since the ‘blade’ has no weight to it at all
Ayy they installed actual metal crossguard on the saber! No need to worry my hand accidentally slipping into pure energy anymore!

That actually looks really cool. I am hyped to actually fight with 2 lightsabers. I'm glad they took on critiques from the last game.
Very interesting

Still wishing dismemberment was a thing like in force awakens. The lack of it made the lightsaber feel incredibly weak in the first game.

Blade and gat would be sick!
You gotta know imma run back to the double bladed lightsaber days. I pretty much only did that in the first game
I'm so excited. I loved that first game. I just hope there's more cosmetics in this game.
Thank god the dual blade got its own form I was so disappointed when it didn’t
We have seen a saber-blaster before, actually. Ezra Bridger made one in Star wars: Rebels, and it's honestly one of my favorite sabers in star wars because of the way he used it, or, more specifically, how Kanan used Ezra's lightsaber in his final duel with the Grand Inquisitor when he thought Ezra was dead. I hope it's something like that!
Blaster and saber lets gooooo I'm so excited
I really hope they do a decent new journey+ this time, to add at least some replayability
Blaster/Saber combo is gonna be fun
I’d like more blaster info
Kals gonna end up being the new canon's Kyle Katarn I just know it. These styles emulate all the styles in Jedi academy with new Canon twists.
I can't wait! :)
fallen order was a souls-like game and this just seems more in line with those styles of game, very detailed and intense combat mechanics with a variety of weapon types and different stances for those weapons
Dude I love how they fixed the cross guard. Gave it guards so you won’t cut your hands idd
I was honestly expecting separate tech trees where you can “Train” or unlock different forms of lightsaber combat aka stances. Like I can be a defensive guy like obi Juan or attack constantly like Anakin slays alot of kids Skywalker. Or I could be mobile like Kermit the frog
Where do the Droids come from? I forgot the name of the planet, where droids were used against the Empire in Star Wars Rebels.
I really hoped they would dive a little bit deeper with the lightsaber forms. Instead of different types of lightsabers I wish there was an option where you could choose different forms such as Ataru or something like that.
The dual lightsabers stance look awesome!
I can't wait to play this
Hope the pink poncho is still in the game because you know I'm gonna be using it
Gonna be some fun combinations.
U had me at cross guard
Man got the Swiss army saber now
When I heard about this, I lowkey thought they were going to give him a form II stance.
He didn’t died by an wampa who smashed him on the ground and a clone died of an weird beast who smashed him on the ground 1 time
Can't wait to use the crossguard stance. I hope it's like first game and you can go straight to the planet you get the crossguard at and then do the planets in order after
i just hope they put a jedi robe on this one and more flashout force powers. this game reminds me off the good times before the "empire"
I hope to GOD that the hilt style is changeable. I hated how long the Saberstaff hilt was
Yo shooting and using a lightsaber at the same time! My boy Kansan has you beat, you will never see a more unconventional but perfect Jedi.
Am I the only one that gets flashbacks to the old Jedi knight games when they mention lightsaber stances
Finally! The greatest form of them all *GUN*
You better believe I’m dual wielding as often as I can
Maybe one day an actual Star Wars game will allow players to choose between the real 7 forms
Ima just stick to the Double Bladed and Single Bladed thank you very much
I’m really hoping this game is massive.
I hope there's more combat than puzzles
I really hope the duel wielding isn't just a skill but from the looks of it isn't a skill but a mechanic
Can’t wait for this game bet it’s gonna be lit
You can tell that Cal doesn't stick strictly to jedi teachings in the first game, because during his fight with Malicious he turns of his blade mid fight, which is shunned by all fighters.
That dark trooper was destroyed by lightsaber sooner than expected
It would be cool if there was a reverse grip one
Very Interesting
I hope they find a way to balance the gun cus you could just spam it and dodge if the area was open enough
I’m gonna pull a Mara Jade with that blaster n saber combo ngl
Lightsaber+ Blaster = sO UncIviLiSeD
IM SO PISSED ABOUT CALS BEARD BAHAHAHA
The unconventional Jedi idea reminds me of Jin Sakai from ghost of Tsushima
Yoda: blasters we use not Cal: I’ll go to the sith then Yoda: ok blasters are
Theres literally no reason to NOT give cal a blaster. I was thinking about it during fallen order when cere uses one in combination with her lightsaber towards the end. It just adds another dimension and its fun ash.
I wanna play this game.
It’s so weird how we’re all happy for an EA game. I’m not even joking. They’re still doing at least one thing pretty well. And sadly the whole thing with the Callisto Protocol proved the devs actually needed EA for the parts that people loved from Dead Space even if if they ironically caused the downfall.
A shame we didn't get the curved hilt saber. Makashi could've combined crossguard and dual-saber stances, it would've been amazing.
So what you’re telling me is this game is basically just blood-borne two but in Star Wars because if that’s so ghremen joins the hunt
I could've sworn the dual blade stance was in Fallen order. After getting a new kyber crystal on Ilum.

Kind of, you could split the saberstaff for combos using FP but you couldn’t use it as a battle style like the single blade or saberstaff
Reminds me of how you could switch combat styles in yakuza
The reason that kylo ren had a cross guard was because when he bled his kyber crystal he has so much hatred that it cracked causing the blade to be unsuitable and having to install vents to keep the blade from exploding in his hands, so the cross gaurd makes no sense
The double blade style is not new to survivor though, later in fallen order you acquire it
Will we actually be able to dismember people…
Cal with a beard is tough
As a wise man omce said, "SPEEEEEED IS KEEEEEEY
This makes me super excited! But why would the crossguard stance be more weighty, it's not like the blade will weigh more than his usual saber.

It's meant for the heavy stance.
Lightsaber stances are cool, but is that a different biome variant of the Wampa? Or a different beast altogether?
I thought we were gonna get dual weild but I'm not arguing here
I saw a video how a light Saber has no weight in the light part... why do they wield the Saber like it's a broadsword when it's just a laser pointer? It wouldn't be able to do half the things it would do in these scenes. Like scaling down the building???
Can we use blasters?
To be fair the reason he uses the blaster is the one time he saw cere us it with her lightsaber and thought it looked cool.
I just hope they change the level ending, so we don't have to travel ALL the way back afterwards to get to the ship. That was incredibly annoying.
My friend is a dev for this game and is helping with graphics. . . still working on convincing him to give me free stuff
i hope he gets like ezra with a lightsaber blaster
What does stances mean.. does it mean they’re optional cuz me personally I wanna keep either reforged single blade or dual wielding
Judging from the title, I was hoping they were going to give it the Ghost of Tsushima treatment with the different lightsaber forms but I still think all of the new stances are cool.
Could be... If they dont cancel it on the last moments, just like they always do it with stuff that the fans love
I would love to see a Star Wars elden ring type game like a open world game and tactical pvp combat
Why does a crossguard mean power over speed? Shouldnt it mean defence as opposed to not having a crossguard?
Just give me customization. Good customization. Hoods. Masks. Robes.
isn't double already in the first game?
What I don't get is why a cross guard makes a lightsaber heavier, The blade has no weight ......it's energy
“Blaster and lightsaber combo we have never seen”…that is Luke in every OT film and legends, even with the new order. Mara Jade, Kyle Katarn, Jains Solo…pretty much everyone in Legends post return of the Jedi

Anyone else thinks cal looks like giga chad?
So if the first game was compared to Dark Souls this one is more like Bloodborne is my guess on how the blaster will work

The big question is will the lightsaber ever light saber again?
