Many people assume that Soresu was only for blasters and long range strikes. Like the mynock, they have worn down resources until disaster strikes. They are to defend until the opponent wears themselves down, allowing for the user to strike an open Mark that has become vulnerable. The goal of the Soresu user is to defend against attacks from all angles and to end the fight as quickly as possible. Soresu has a mindset about it, which as previously stated mirrors that of the mynock. The Form is as much distinguished by its strategy as it is by its technique. This allowed a user to create an impenetrable wall around themselves from attackers at all ranges. Also, it broke from the linear footwork of the previous forms to one that allowed it to move freely. It was marked as using the blade as close to the body as possible, allowing for omni-directional defense. Soresu was developed as an answer to both, a means of creating a sphere of defense. What it cannot cut is the blade of another lightsaber and blaster bolts. Soresu is a vast departure from Forms I and II in that it focuses almost entirely on the defensive capabilities of the lightsaber. This description makes it ideal for Soresu, as it too has the ability to survive harsh conditions and drain the enemies resources and creating disaster. It is also known as the way of the Mynock, a winged parasite that could live in the vacuum of space and often could be found chewing on power cables of starships, eventually rendering them useless. This is not meant as a technical manual, merely a guidepost for developing the Forms however you see fit.įorm III, Soresu, is rightly known as the Resilience Form. Please refer to the Shii Cho and Makashi posts if you wish to read them in order.
