Hack and slash games back then:

Also, the moviebattles 2 mod heavily improved Academys systems. Especially stances.

now i understand.

turn saber realistic combat on so you die in 1 hit. then practice not dying.

also jump kicks are OP

Genuine question - what was so great about Jedi Academy combat? I never played it, and Youtube multiplayer videos mostly look like two people running into each other and mashing an attack button until one of them keels over. Disregarding any offensive force powers of course, talking strictly about the pure sword fighting now.

Nothing. People literally spammed one attack all the time. Wiggling your mouse meant that you could one hit anyone.

Best combat action game in history.

Dark Messiah was pretty fun tbh.
