Default What's your favourite lightsaber fighting style?

Mine is Suvusu actually, which is the way I actually fight in my sparring matches with a sword. Let my opponent wear himself out attacking and then beat him into submission. How about the rest of you?

Any style that allows me to block a leaping Jedi.

There's different styles? The only two I saw were:

1. Original Trilogy Style - Similar to fencing. Very deliberate moves and a lot of tactics used.

2. Prequel Style - Similar to kids at a rave giving lightshows with large glowsticks.

General Grievous' style is my absolute favourite!!!

Now all I need is two extra limbs (Legs or Arms, I'm not fussy!) And I can imitate my favorite style!

LOL all he did was flail them around, besides he was basically a recycled Jedi Master, he wasn't that powerful. I like Suvusu and Anakin's form V style, still prefer defending to attacking though.

I see it more this way

Original Trilogy Style - for older Jedi, slower and easier to complete, a Padawan could defeat one of them

Prequel Style - for a younger more energetic generation open and not afraid of changes

Form I: Shii-Cho "Way of the Sarlacc" or "Determination Form"
Form I is the most basic of the seven forms and is learned by every Jedi Youngling. Shii-Cho includes the fundamental elements of all the lightsaber forms including the basic attack, parry, body target zones, and practice drills called velocities.
Form II: Makashi "Way of the Ysalamir" or "Contention Form"
Form II represents the ultimate refinement of lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat. Masters of Makashi develop unique offenses and defenses and train studiously against having their sabers taken or damaged.
Form III: Soresu "Way of the Mynock" or "Resilience Form"
Form III was first developed in response to the advancement of blaster technology in the galaxy. Soresu's emphasis on tight, efficient movements that expose very minimal target areas, make it the most defensive and passive of the seven forms.
Form IV: Ataru "Way of the Hawk-Bat" or "Aggression Form"
Form IV is the most acrobatic of all the forms and requires a Jedi to first master the Force Run, Jump, and Spin abilities. By incorporating all the Force powers that allow a Jedi to exceed standard norms of physical abilities, Jedi may resemble nothing less than a blur when using this style.

Jedi Master Yoda, was a master of all forms
Form V: Shien / Djem So "Way of the Krayt Dragon" or "Perseverance Form"
Form V was also created in response to the advancement and frequency of blaster use in the galaxy. Unlike the strictly defensive style Soresu, Shien exploits the ability of a lightsaber to block blaster bolts and deflect them back at an opponent in a counter-attack maneuver. In a duel, the Djem So variation of this form, which focused on strength, would be used.
Form VI: Niman "Way of the Rancor" or "Moderation Form"
Form VI seeks to balance the emphases of forms I through V. Niman allows a Jedi to fight with harmony and justice without having to resort to powerful, aggressive movements or overt emotion.
Form VII: Juyo / Vaapad "Way of the Vornskr" or "Ferocity Form"
Juyo instead employs bold, direct movements, more open and kinetic than form V, but not so elaborate as the acrobatic form Ataru. Juyo requires greater energy and intensity out of the practitioner because his focus is wielded more broadly and draw upon from a deeper well of emotion; while the outward bearing of a Form VII practitioner is one of calm, the inner pressure verges on explosive. It was also considered to be the most dangerous in regard to falling to the Dark Side, because it required a certain amount of enjoyment in the fight from the person experiencing it.

Sorry, meant Soresu.

I prefer the Q'chi Qu style where my forearm strength overpowers my attacker. Sometimes I throw in a little Treuni or even go Vilanois (French Style).

And yes, I am making this up as I go along. I can't believe I'm actually replying to this thread.
