You know, in my case the ending of JK 2 Outcast was as anti-climatic as it gets. I was really looking forward to have a duel with Desann.

Guess what? Immediately as the battle begins I'm 0wned. Within the first ten seconds, I've used all my bacta canisters and my finger on the Force Healing key. Despite my attempts, I haven't managed to get a single hit through Desann's defenses.

Desann attacks at me but I run away as fast as possible. Suddenly, he gets trapped to one of the pilars and can't move. I'm not exactly sure what caused the following thing to happen, but I guess he was attempting to attack me.

The pilar falls down and crushes my opponent. The ending cutscene starts to play. For a moment I just stared at the screen. Wow, what an exciting battle! Almost just as goodf as the one in ESB. :lol:

Actually don't you think that's sorta fitting given the context of the story? Desann's rage and lack of control brings about his own defeat at the end. Poetic justice, that.

Pff, my first battle with him was a total letdown. He jumped high into the air to stomp on me, so I popped up force speed and zipped away. Right as he hit the ground, I nailed him with a quick strong charge and...

He fell down. I then chopped him in two as he lay there. Poof.

I generally used the fast style, with a little medium mixed in for the sweet DFA move. However, I deleted the game some time ago when I got extremely pissed off the the "backstab whores". For those of you not familiar with them, here's how it works:
Standard Free for all game, Jedi Master Force Powers (it can be done without Force powers, but this is how you usually see it)
So you're running around with your saber, zwing zwang, chop chop, getting lots of kills, right? Until this guy comes along, Force Pulls you at close range, and thereby causes you to fall down and be sucked to his feet. While you are trying to get up, the Backstab Whore does a 180 degree spin, and executes a backstab move, which is instant kill no-matter-what (unless they fixed it in a recent patch, I wouldn't know, haven't played in a while). There is no defence against this, except Force Absorb, which doesn't last long and depletes your Force Energy quickly. So MP JKII quickly turns into spawn, fall down, backstabbed, die, spawn, fall down, backstabbed, die, etc...

My friend complained about that. Which is why I play Jedi Master, and Holocron FFA.

I know its cheating so I don't use it unless I'm fooling around or dueling a desann spawned from cheats, but does anyone else like the 2nd strong style? Still hurts a lot without being slow as balls.
