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.

Special Moves

Kata

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.





Lunge

The most dangerous move in blue stance, the lunge is a quick, powerful uppercut that hits directly in front of the jedi. It is achieved by pressing forward, crouch, and primary fire simultaneously, or by holding forward and crouch and then pressing primary fire. The lunge can be devastating if timed perfectly, possibly inflicting 100hp. The lunge's effectiveness depends primarily on the element of surprise. Most of the time, if the opponent sees blue stance, he/she expects the lunge.
