Exactly, Artoo.

In fact, these are the rules they way they've always been in Tourneys. Only this time, Roan made them very clear to everyone and in advance, so that you know what you're getting yourself into and to avoid any difficult situations.

Anyways, enough said.. now let's have some good old sabering-fun :P

I guess Jaiko mentioned a little before...

But, this has been discussed in the JAK+ forums, and there were opposing views to some of these attacks being listed above. However, it seems the majority of the JAK+ and the JAC in particular don't want to see extensions and glide delays to be allowed. That list isn't meant to be an exploits list. Extensions aren't exploits, but some don't want them to be used in the tournament in which the JA will be furnishing prizes for. This is partly due to the fact that some have the opinion that extensions can cause unintentional pokes [ask a JAK+ or JAC for further details on this in private]. Glide delays to some are exploits, to others are not.

If you really want to discuss this, you should talk privately with the JAC.

Roan wanted to make this list so that we wouldn't have a problem when we got down to the finals like last year. Roan was rather depressed and aggravated with the end of the tournament last year and wants this one to go well. So, please keep the rule discussing private, on an instant messenger or IRC.

almost every defensive and offensive swing/move/whatever can cause damage to opponent under right circumstances. so really what is an attack?

hmmm pointless to discuss i guess. ill try not to use any of my loved glide delays or extensions in any tournament duel i happen to have.

I disagree, everysort of swing/shot or anysort of hostile/violent/aggressive action that can cause damage is considered an attack.

sorry about that.
i think there are loads of ways around these rules though.
lets say... glide delays... well i use them a lot when i fight... not neccesarily to hit the opponent but as a fake move. now if i use it to fake but not to actually hit opponent its not counted as attack thus its not against the rule which only mentions 'types of attacks'.

lol nvm :P

Guys, although i can appreciate your comments. Roan and the JAK+ are putting alot of effort in to run events such as the tourney. Now, you may not agree with the rules on which the tournement is based. In which case simply dont enter. However, to openly contest their oppinion is somewhat rude.

The rules have been stated since the beginning, if you would suggest that in future we also hold a "no swings barred" tournement as well, then such a n event can be arranged and again...would be made very clear at the beginning.

Thanks

Just like it doesn't make sense to play competitively on ja+, it doesn't make sense to restrict the players playstyle in such a drastic way for competitive activities like tournaments, IMFHO.

If you want to play like that go to esl. You got tons of that sort there:)

Just look at it this being another sort of tournament.

I completely agree.

But yeah, if the JA wants to forbid anysort of mouse movement then so be it, let's have a nice tourney of "JA"-JKA then...
