			Blue Stance- Practical Application

			Blue stance has been briefly introduced in previous sections of the holocron. We have looked at the attributes and behaviour that makes Blue stance what it is as well as discussing the possible advantages and disadvantages Blue stance has looking at it from a strategic standpoint. Blue stance may be the single fastest stance within a JKA context. But how do we use it?

			This section of the holocron looks at the practical use of each lightsaber type and style focusing on swings, combos and the use of each.

			For the sake of continuity I will be assuming that you (the user) have set up the movement keys to correspond to the directional keys on the keyboard.

			-Individual Swings-

			Keys: No Direction/ Backwards/ Forwards + Attack
			Produces: Overhead Swings
			Comment: Overhead swings in blue stance are often used for quick strike or pressure adding strategies. The swing is carried over the users head/right shoulder delivering a blow down onto the opponents head or upper torso.

			Keys: Forward, Left or Forward, Right + Attack
			Produces: Forward Diagonal
			Comment: Diagonal attacks provide slightly more defence than overhead strikes and can be used either alternating directions for an offensive style attack or used consecutively to produce a spin.

			Keys: Left/Right + Attack
			Produces: Side-Swings
			Comment: Left and right swings are often used in blue stance for hit and run style attacks. These swings are relatively low hitting the lower torso or upper leg which can be useful for hitting under the opponents defensive arc.

			Keys: Backwards, Left or Backwards, Right + Attack
			Produces: Backwards Diagonal
			Comment: : Backwards diagonal attacks provide slightly more defence than overhead strikes and can be used either alternating directions for a defensive style or used consecutively to produce a spin.

			-Rotations/Spins-

			Starting Position: Forward, Right + Attack
			Comment: After the swing has started release the finger holding Forwards.
			First Movement: Right
			Comment: The rotation produced by this combo ensures the lightsaber travels horizontally through its arc.

			Starting Position: Forward, Left + Attack
			Comment: After the swing has started release the finger holding Forwards.

			Comment: The rotation produced with this combo delivers a diagonal style spin slicing upwards through the opponent.

			Starting Position: Forward, Right/Left + Attack
			Comment: Hold the above key combo to achieve a spin.

			-Combination Attacks-
			In the above section we looked at how we can perform single swings or attacks which are both very effective and very powerful tools within any lightsaber combat situation. It is however, possible to chain these swings and rotations together in order to perform combination attacks.

			Scissors:
			This is performed through alternating right and left swings. It doesn’t matter which you start on as long as the following swing is the alternate state. *****Scissors is popular and used frequently due to its balanced offensive and defensive benefits.

			Crouching scissors:
			This is performed the same way as regular scissors but is performed whilst your character is crouched. This makes you a smaller target and generally harder to hit. However, as a result your head is lower and easier to hit resulting in high damage.

			Diagonal Scissors/Buzz saw:
			This is a variation on the idea of performing a scissor. This combination is performed using a variation of Forward/Right, Backward/Left and Forward/Left, Backwards/Right. While the range of situations for such a move is much more finite, the usefulness of such a combination should not be underestimated.

			Crouching Diagonal Scissors/Buzz saw:
			This is performed the same way as regular Diagonal Scissors but with the addition of the character crouching providing a level of defence as you are a smaller target.

			Advancing Scissors:
			Advancing scissors is a great example of an offensive based combo moving the combo independent of its set keys towards the opponent. Whilst very hard to perform, once mastered the advancing scissors offer a new range of benefits to the user.

			First move: Perform a side swing (For the sake of the example we shall start with left).
			Second move: Release all the keys involved in performing the side swing and take a couple steps forward.
			Third move: Perform the next swing (in our case right) just before the first swing has finished.

			This may be repeated several times.

			-Special Moves-

			Lunge:
			(Crouch + Forward + Attack)
			This move performs an upward rising lunge with the potential of causing very high damage to an opponent. This is often useful in countering other special moves or as a surprise attack.

			Blue Kata:
			(Attack + Alt Attack)
			This performs a very fast, spinning lightsaber move. I recommend caution when using this move as the long recoil time leaves you a very tempting target.

			Back Stab:
			(Backwards + Attack) When opponent is behind you
			Your lightsaber is thrust backwards into the opponent causing heavy damage.

-Blue stance, also known as fast stance, uses quick swings that allow for many repeated attacks, but inflict low amounts of damage. Because it is so difficult to use effectively, some players consider it embarassing to be beaten with blue stance, and others will beat lesser opponents using only blue to intentionally demoralize them. Except for the lunge attack, Blue stance is rarely used in online play.
+Blue is sometimes referred to as the “weakest stance” although this is generally regarding its swing strength not the over all ability or potential of this stance.

			==Special Moves==
			===Kata===
			[[Image:Blue_Kata.JPG\|thumb\|left\|200pix\|A Jedi performing a kata in blue stance.]]A Kata is performed by pressing '''[[primary fire]] and [[secondary fire]]''' simultaneously. The Blue Stance Kata involves the jedi swinging his lightsaber around his body in an arc. The movements are quick, and inflict little damage with each swing. The jedi does not move during the kata, leaving him very vulnerable to counter-attacks, especially because of blue stance's poor range. The kata also does not cover the jedi's back, leaving him open to attack.
