The yellow special move, popularly known as the YDFA or "yellow death from above", is rarely used effectively in online play. It is achieved by pressing forward, jump, and primary fire simultaneously. The move involves the jedi flipping over the head of his opponent, and swinging the lightsaber downward as he passes over. The ydfa is nearly impossible to land during a fight, and is mainly seen when attacking stationary objects. The JA+ server modification made the ydfa easier to use in a fight, but also easier to abuse, as fighters can spin or wiggle their mouses after landing while the saber is idle to inflict damage.
