The Flood / Re: Star Wars Spoilers (Seriously. Spoilers ahead)
« on: December 19, 2015, 04:13:36 PM »

Rey being good with a staff will not allow her to be on par with someone using a sword when they've been training with it for their entire career if she chooses to pick one up. They are completely different weapons. Considering Kylo trained both in the former jedi academy and under snoke he has much, much, more experience with he blade and the force than she does.

I wasn't talking about the movie. I was talking about in general when it comes to martial arts in real life, hence me excluding fictional laser swords. Weight is not a marginal factor. Weight is a significant factor. This would also transfer to a fictional laser sword however as even if you were to go from a real sword the laser sword you'd need to relearn a few things in order to adjust to the weightlessness of the blade. Not to mention the fact that you can now easily kill yourself with it which in turn causes a whole lot more relearning to do.

A metal staff is not going to weight the same of the a light saber. Not to mention the fact that the center of balance would be completely different on it. If we're talking about a real staff and actual saber the weights are still not going to be the same and the center of balance will still be different.

Also you need to read up on what an ad hominem is because that wasn't one. To deny the things above means you're blinded by something.

I'm not sure why this is even an argument.

Considering you didn't actually refute me with any of that and spewed a bunch of insults I'm going to assume this is over.

And no, weight is not a marginal factor. But you can go on believing that if you want.

Another edit just cause. Nothing I've said has been contrarian, Rey being a mary-sue is a fairly common opinion. Boyega was the better character.

Uhh, yeah I have. That's why I'm telling you that being good with one form of martial arts doesn't make you good at another. How you move and fight is going to affected greatly by what kind of weapon you're using.

Yes, things like hand eye coordination and situational awareness will carry over but the ability to actually use the weapon will not. That's what I've been talking about. You can calm your titts man, your waifu isn't real.

Also weight is going to factor in significantly when using traditional forms of weaponry (id est, not fictional weightless laser swords). So yes, your ability to stay on your feet will be affected by what kind of weapon you're carrying. To deny this just shows off your ignorance.

Nothing I said is suicide. You're just blinded by hype. In a couple months we'll be able to have an honest conversation about the film. Same thing happened with TPM.

Poppin in for a second to say that being skilled in one form of martial arts does not mean you are skilled in another form of martial arts.

Certainly some of the skills you pick up in one form of training carry over to another, like the consistency of swings, reaction time, and balance.

Rey was just proficient in hand-to-hand combat, that's all. Those skills definitely carry over.

Umm, no because that's going to differ based on martial art of choice. Go ahead and try to wield a spear like you would a sword or an axe like you would your fist. See how well it works out for you when you're fighting someone who's actually familiar with the weapon they're using.

Your training and experience with a spear or bo staff do not transfer to a sword or a battle axe. They're completely different weapons that require a different set of skills to master.

I'd put money down on it being her quick grasp of the force.
point for sandy
I'm gonna chalk that point up to a little theory of her being the secret daughter of a really powerful Jedi.

Anakin was space Jesus and even he didn't master it that quickly.
I do sort of see where you're coming from
Anakin was also a whiny bitch who was clouded by anger (and the prequels.)

Luke was the son of space Jesus and didn't master it that quickly.

im curious, how do you see her as a mary sue?

Masters the force in only a few hours when it took Luke and Space Jesus three films to do it. Is also better than them when it comes to using the force seeing as she can mind trick storm troopers without even looking at them, using her hand to help her concentrate, or even being told that she can do that kind of thing. Is able to beat a trained sith despite having no training with a light saber, knows more about the millennium falcon than Han Solo, can pilot a starship better than a trained fighter pilot despite never having been offworld, has no character flaws or personality flaws, et cetera et cetera

Who's the bigger spoon in this relationship, Psy or LC?

LC is bigger and stronger and handsomer than me.

How are you shocked they killed off Han? Harrison has been asking for that to happen since ESB.

Because I expected JJ to play it rather safe since it's the first movie, and killing off one of the big 3 is always a huge risk.

He said he wouldn't do 7 unless they killed him off.

Women aren't usually taller than 6'1", but if I came across one and I liked her I don't see why I wouldn't.

No, it's an app for both consoles iirc.
I know that part fam, I wonder if it works so you can have a particular controller layout when you go into Forge mode, or even set up a unique one that is only applied for Halo 5.

Well you can have a certain number of presets saved. I don't really know much about it though cause I've never used it.
I thought that was only for the elite controller

From what I recall it was for the elite controller first and then later rolled out for everyone. However I believe the elite controller will actually save the settings to its own internal flash drive or something so you can take them with you.
