I know it was meant to be a joke, but now I legitimately think the enemies glowing red is Cal’s force sense giving him a warning. It would make so much sense.
My head canon is that every life that you fail and die in the game is just Cal using foresight to know every way he can lose his upcoming battles. And that is why you begin again at your last meditation spot as if it were all a dream
One thing that I thought was weird was how many times you can hit a person with the lightsabers in the duels before they actually die. I kind of understand though, most fights would only last a few seconds if they did it realistically
Star Wars games really need a Metal Gear Rising Revengence cut everything up system. Kinda crazy that game came out a decade ago and Star Wars games still haven't done this, but the new games have pretty much every other good game mechanic in it.
Against anybody who doesn't have a lightsaber, yes. But enemies with a lightsaber? No. Those fights lasted pretty long and they always ended with one fatal strike. The healthbar just doesn't make sense. I think a better system would be each boss having multiple "stamina" or "guard" bars, and each time you break those bars their attack style changes somewhat. Maybe they get more aggressive, or more defensive, or evasive, whatever. But the best part would be the bar would quickly refill unless you kept up your attacks, meaning breathing room for you is also a respite for them. This would still make the combat pretty decent while not having enemies with big glowing gashes in their torsos still fighting.
It’s just to make the game more fun. If it was realistic, boss fights would be about 30 seconds. I do wish they made it so you never actually hit the person till the last blow, because they do feel like glow sticks at times.
@@Freakazoid12345well, after you beat the story, you can go back on the plus version where you get a perk called Purity that makes everyone stronger. So everything is a one shot, including on you. I would guess it’s not like that for boss fights though.
Yeah they are bad when it's clear the two "combatants" are just trying to make the blades contact as much as possible rather than, ya know, actually win the fight

I like the think of it as “you saw the future from the meditation point” and the meditation convinced you to approach the villain a different way then before
In star wars Cannon, all force users can have acess to a "precognition" ability that can allow them to see the future. That's what I always thought he was using at meditation points, along with just meditating on the force to tap into new abilities.
@solidcake482 Aye, most Force Sensitive have some basic ability for that, though depending on training or other such things, some are capable of even more impressive feats. In fact, the Iktochi (the species that sort of look like devils: reddish skin, hairless and with bull like horns), are one of those species that has an unusually strong Force connection. Just about their entire species, even though without particularly active Force Sensitivity, have some basic precognition. They actually even had a welcome party ready for when the Republic first discovered to their planet.

Actually this same idea happened in the original Jedi Knight games with Kyle Katarn, The man difference between Cal Kestis's adventures and Kyle Katarn is that he started out as a smuggler working for the Rebellion like Han only to be trained in using The Force by Luke.
@@Last_God_of_Mortis Actually Kyle Katarn got a whole series (the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games). First appearance was in Dark Forces (a "Doom clone") in '95 then he became a Jedi in Dark Forces 2 - Jedi Knight. Following games are Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. They were quite good for the times and can still be pretty entertaining today. And a major difference with this new games was that it felt like you were fighting with lightsabers and not light "clubs".
Uh no Kyle actually started out as part of the empire he joined the imperial academy and eventually rose to be part of the empires special forces. He later left the empire after having a change of heart and later got involved in the criminal underworld and joined the rebellion and got trained by luke. But he didn't start out as a smuggler.
Ok but why was the choreography in this parody video better than the entire sequel trilogy? Also now I want to see a boss fight where you can't get hit without dying
I would LOVE to see a breakdown of this. As someone who works with vfx this is some of the most natural looking lightsaber effects I’ve seen. Especially when you’re out in natural light. The trails and subtle glow on the actors makes it look so realistic. In my opinions a breakdown video of the vfx you guys did for this shot would do great numbers for the channel and help a lot of aspiring vfx artists. Maybe you could even make it a series a few weeks after you post a new video. Keep up the great work 😊
Hats off to whoever did the captions. As someone who always thinks about that for those who are hearing impaired and also as someone who enjoyed this with no audio at the moment the were excellently done!
The only unrealistic part about this video is that he was able to upgrade his lightsaber skills after dying. You lose your xp after dying. Edit: lol totally forgot about unspent skill points 🤣
Treu. He actually has to hit him one time to get his XP back and run to the meditation point as fast as possible to be able to upgrade his stuff. Ngl, it would have been kinda funny if he hits him one time while the bad guy is doing his evil monologue, and he is like: gotta go, I'll be right back. And he just patiently waits for him to come back with his upgrades.
You could make a plot twist by defeating the enemy with blaster point blank skill. Enemy: "This isn't fair! How could you use a blaster in a lightsaber fight?!"
@@BillyBobJoeSurviv Problem with what you're saying is that disney were in charge of the sequels, a multi billion dollar company, they could've afforded some better choreography
@@BillyBobJoeSurviv I never said the originals and prequels don’t have bad duels (they do). The problem I have with the sequel duels more than anything else is how outrageously nonsensical the choreography is. In the originals, the duels were like classic sword duels, and I think they hold up pretty well. In the prequels, they were a little overly grandiose clashes between powerful space wizards. A little over the top and ridiculous, but not sloppy like we’re seeing know. I don’t mean sloppy like the whole “the characters are still learning” thing, I mean sloppy like the fighters making decisions that don’t make sense. Look up a breakdown of the Praetorian fight in episode 8, and you’ll see what I mean. I think the main problem is that Disney is rushing these projects through development, so the choreographers don’t have time to fine tune things and the actors don’t have time to learn it. Compare that to the prequels and originals, where the choreographers and actors had months during the preproduction stages to prepare and practice. I’m staying “hating on the sequels” because I’m frustrated that the bigwigs behind it don’t give their teams time to make anything actually good.
Started a few years back with Arkham City I took of the HUD so I have to use reflex to block an enemy attack. I always thought the visual warning was a bit of cheating.
To be fair about the "glowing red" bit, pretty sure it's meant to represent exactly what "Inquisitor Scorpion" described. Also the fight choreography in between the jokes is top notch!
To be fair, the healing stims are essentially Kolto (Bacta's predecessor in Legends) if you think about it. However, I would argue that respawning isn't a canonical part of the story, and games with health bars that still have dismemberment as the final blow feel more satisfying (at least to me) than games where everything oneshots everything on both sides. And also that it's incredibly stupid that the game doesn't just let you cycle through all of the stances on the fly.
Why are there lightsaber fighting videos always so good? Great jokes by the way and I am loving this game. Jedi Survivor is one of the best Star Wars video game sequels that I've ever played. I can't wait to see what they do for the and Cal's next Adventure
At first I was intending to comment on the fun dialogue, then the quality cinematography, then the acting, and then the special fx. But by the time I was half way through the video, I realised that simply all of this is damn well done. Quality stuff guys. I must be new to this channel.
I understand from a video game perspective they can't have the player one shotting or getting one shotted, but I hate hitting storm troopers etc multiple times seeing the light saber impact spot and them being fine.
2:29 okay something I don’t understand about duels with double blades. If your opponent only has one can’t you just… lock sabers with them with one saber and just shove the other one in their stomach or something?
Not sure about lightsabers but irl, with 2 swords you can't put as much strength into each sword bcos the other person gets to wield their sword with 2 hands while you only get one hand per sword so it's hard to block their attacks. Also 2 swords are heavier than one so you get more tired.
@@grimreaper63151If you watch Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2 Endor DLC where Starkiller fights Leia and at the end of the battle Starkiller uses one lightsaber to lock in with Leia then he uses the other one to kill her
Jedi academy actually had proper fighting and you used force healing if you knew how to or use the rare bacta station till your health is full or its empty and you could actually cut off limbs properly including human looking characters like sith and stormtroopers
@@100percentNotaBot Jedi Academy HAS proper fighting. Getting a clean hit on your opponent SHOULD instakill them when you're wielding a fricking beam of pure light capable of cutting through almost any material! They're not gore enthusiasts, they're enjoyers of games with good, original mechanics.
@@100percentNotaBot It's not about the gore so much as it's about the satisfaction of seeing your attack actually having some impact and consequence. Unless they have a phobia of gore, I see most streamers going WHOA! when they cut a persons head off. It is normal for people to have that reaction because guess what, people understand that video game violence ain't real, it's ok to find fictional mutilation enjoyable.
One of the best melee combat games of all times. The guns and shooting is quite satisfying as well. Nowadays we got this soulslike crap with lightsabers. Original game development is fckn dead and Fromsoft killed it
i only played jedi academy, and I remember depending on difficulty, you could get one shot by a single lightsaber hit, and also kill the final both with a single hit
@@Yorikoification This is pretty hyperbolic. Gaming trends come and go, and to be frank, From's influence will hardly last as nobody has really successfully replicated their formula or evolved it meaningfully, nor do devs realize that From games are inherently niche. Maybe it leaves a little bit of lasting influence in making difficult games slightly more mainstream, or popularizing a way of doing stamina, or some small detail like that, but I highly doubt 10 years from now we'll even remember what the term soulslike means. But in any case, the seed of your statement isn't really true either. Gaming is an iterative art form. Originality didn't die when Doom was getting cloned, and those clones were MUCH more blatant. Not to mention, that process eventually birthed highly influential games like Half-Life. In a year or two, there will be some new hotness on the gaming scene, everyone will copy it, and someone else will make your exact comment, only replacing From's name with a different developer, while they wax nostalgic about some game that came out in the mid 2010s.
@@alphajackal6648 Dark Souls 1 came out 12 fricking years ago and the soulslikes don't stop coming. I know that trends come and go but I'm getting old and I wish for new kinds of games to be made before I crumble to dust. What the heck do you mean "From's influence will hardly last"? It's been more than a bloody decade! As for nobody successfully replicated it.....There are an absolute fudgeton of soulslikes were some do certain parts of the game better than their origins. The combat is so simple that it's one of the easiest to replicate by far. Judging from most of the populace tho, everyone is endlessly praising that game design and can't take any criticism made towards it but it's got a ton of undeniable, glaring issues. As long as it's being treated like this kind of perfect formula I dread that nothing is going to change in the gaming industry. This trend has gone on for so long snd every goddamn fantasy or medieval game made these days just copy pastes Dark Souls stupidly simplistic "dodge and attack" combat.

Although the Meditation Points don't mean that he was revived, it is just a gameplay mechanic that you're revived there.
What game?? I used to love playing Empire of War as a kid, but I didn’t know Katarn had his own game!
@@Last_God_of_Mortis Actually Kyle Katarn got a whole series (the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games). First appearance was in Dark Forces (a "Doom clone") in '95 then he became a Jedi in Dark Forces 2 - Jedi Knight.
Following games are Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. They were quite good for the times and can still be pretty entertaining today.
And a major difference with this new games was that it felt like you were fighting with lightsabers and not light "clubs".
@@BuggieBoot dang, that’s awesome ! I’m definitely getting that next paycheck
Uh no Kyle actually started out as part of the empire he joined the imperial academy and eventually rose to be part of the empires special forces. He later left the empire after having a change of heart and later got involved in the criminal underworld and joined the rebellion and got trained by luke. But he didn't start out as a smuggler.
I love how good RUclips and CGI technology has gotten. This skit looks better than most prequel trilogy fights
Don’t you mean sequel trilogy?
I dont know how you forget the most important weapon in a jedis arsenal, the glock.
You'll be red for a second! That had me dying lol
I swear this fight is 10 times better that any fight in the new sequels
Not surprising considering the direction for the Sequels was, swing Lightsaber like an 8 year old in his back yard with a stick.
It's been years since the sequels came out and people are still complaining about it. Move on already.
@@tykamen5588 if it was any good i would have moved on but calling that garbage Canon is what i stopped at
It is also 10 times better than the original trilogy.
You ain’t going to include new hope?
I love it when Cal steals beards from enemies and crates
😂😂
Yep that goatee looks dope, gotta get that from the crate, like some drama prop.
Ok but why was the choreography in this parody video better than the entire sequel trilogy?
Also now I want to see a boss fight where you can't get hit without dying
The enemy randomly just standing around when you wear off their stamina waiting to get hit
Okay, but can we appreciate how amazing the beginning of that saber duel was?
i cant imagine how fun this would have been to film and how much davis fought with the other members to be the one in this video
I would LOVE to see a breakdown of this. As someone who works with vfx this is some of the most natural looking lightsaber effects I’ve seen. Especially when you’re out in natural light. The trails and subtle glow on the actors makes it look so realistic.
In my opinions a breakdown video of the vfx you guys did for this shot would do great numbers for the channel and help a lot of aspiring vfx artists.
Maybe you could even make it a series a few weeks after you post a new video.
Keep up the great work 😊
When a few guys in the middle of nowhere make better combat scenes than a multi-million dollar production movies
Hats off to whoever did the captions. As someone who always thinks about that for those who are hearing impaired and also as someone who enjoyed this with no audio at the moment the were excellently done!
The only unrealistic part about this video is that he was able to upgrade his lightsaber skills after dying. You lose your xp after dying.
Edit: lol totally forgot about unspent skill points 🤣
Tbf if he's like me, he probably tends to save up a lot of skill points until the time is right :P
Yeah but not your skill points
Treu.
He actually has to hit him one time to get his XP back and run to the meditation point as fast as possible to be able to upgrade his stuff.
Ngl, it would have been kinda funny if he hits him one time while the bad guy is doing his evil monologue, and he is like: gotta go, I'll be right back.
And he just patiently waits for him to come back with his upgrades.
I think he just changed his stance
actually you can with unspent skill points. bra
Hilarious!🤣🤣🤣 And I must say a pretty cool fighting choreography!
Kevin Le's stunt work here was incredible.
I know this is supposed to be a skit and all but real talk the fight choreography is actually really good
You could make a plot twist by defeating the enemy with blaster point blank skill.
Enemy: "This isn't fair! How could you use a blaster in a lightsaber fight?!"
This fight had better choreography than every single duel in the sequels.
stop crying about the sequels, buffoon
And the originals and a few of the prequels, but u stay hating the sequels I see
@@BillyBobJoeSurviv Problem with what you're saying is that disney were in charge of the sequels, a multi billion dollar company, they could've afforded some better choreography
@@ItsJustDoctor they did spend that money in fact, on making the lightsabers look extra good, making them harder for the actors to duel with
@@BillyBobJoeSurviv I never said the originals and prequels don’t have bad duels (they do). The problem I have with the sequel duels more than anything else is how outrageously nonsensical the choreography is. In the originals, the duels were like classic sword duels, and I think they hold up pretty well. In the prequels, they were a little overly grandiose clashes between powerful space wizards. A little over the top and ridiculous, but not sloppy like we’re seeing know. I don’t mean sloppy like the whole “the characters are still learning” thing, I mean sloppy like the fighters making decisions that don’t make sense. Look up a breakdown of the Praetorian fight in episode 8, and you’ll see what I mean.
I think the main problem is that Disney is rushing these projects through development, so the choreographers don’t have time to fine tune things and the actors don’t have time to learn it. Compare that to the prequels and originals, where the choreographers and actors had months during the preproduction stages to prepare and practice. I’m staying “hating on the sequels” because I’m frustrated that the bigwigs behind it don’t give their teams time to make anything actually good.
2:42 *Darth Vader breathing in the background*
1:47 That combo was sick! George should have given you guys Star Wars instead.
The meditation point ten feet away from the boss is so accurate against the ninth sister in fallen order
the fact that this fight is so much better than all the sequels and it didnt have any excessive tricka like dodge rolls or backflips and such
Started a few years back with Arkham City I took of the HUD so I have to use reflex to block an enemy attack. I always thought the visual warning was a bit of cheating.
You can't block the ref attacks. That's all they are telling
The fight choreography in this video was phenomenal and I was laughing so hard when he turned his head slowly after hearing the saber ignite😂
Yes the best channel for skits returns and again it’s better than ever
Everyone boss until Vader's patience bar show up
Accurate and well choreographed, especially the dodges 😭💀
Oh my gosh. This was SO good! You guys should definitely do more lightsaber duels in the future.
To be fair about the "glowing red" bit, pretty sure it's meant to represent exactly what "Inquisitor Scorpion" described.
Also the fight choreography in between the jokes is top notch!
To be fair, the healing stims are essentially Kolto (Bacta's predecessor in Legends) if you think about it.
However, I would argue that respawning isn't a canonical part of the story, and games with health bars that still have dismemberment as the final blow feel more satisfying (at least to me) than games where everything oneshots everything on both sides. And also that it's incredibly stupid that the game doesn't just let you cycle through all of the stances on the fly.
This is how you explain plot armor with visuals.
Theory: checkpoints are the place where he does battle meditation and every time we die is him looking into the future
I'm surprised the boss didn't get back up and freak out as he's confused by his second phase.
I love the genuinely well made lightsaber duel.
0:28 Cal Kestis got kicked in the balls!
If that was Jedi Grand Master, he would’ve been dead after that first hit
“You’ll be red for a second!” was the funniest comeback I’ve ever seen
The lightsaber duel was amazing.
This is a better lightsaber duel than we saw in any of the sequels.
Preach, my young Padawan. Preach!
Still a better lightsaber fight than Disney's Sequel Trilogy.
The Inquisitor really shouldve had a QTE blocking you from killing him and it wouldve been perfect
Great choreography. Plus the lightsaber hum as he skips away at the end is perfect :)
Why are there lightsaber fighting videos always so good? Great jokes by the way and I am loving this game. Jedi Survivor is one of the best Star Wars video game sequels that I've ever played. I can't wait to see what they do for the and Cal's next Adventure
At first I was intending to comment on the fun dialogue, then the quality cinematography, then the acting, and then the special fx.
But by the time I was half way through the video, I realised that simply all of this is damn well done. Quality stuff guys. I must be new to this channel.
Dad can you read me a bedtime story?

@@ronnoc0074 🧞
I’m always so impressed with the production values on these sketches
I understand from a video game perspective they can't have the player one shotting or getting one shotted, but I hate hitting storm troopers etc multiple times seeing the light saber impact spot and them being fine.
Even though this was done for the fun, it's still so much better than any live action Disney light saber fight haha
2:29 okay something I don’t understand about duels with double blades. If your opponent only has one can’t you just… lock sabers with them with one saber and just shove the other one in their stomach or something?
Not sure about lightsabers but irl, with 2 swords you can't put as much strength into each sword bcos the other person gets to wield their sword with 2 hands while you only get one hand per sword so it's hard to block their attacks. Also 2 swords are heavier than one so you get more tired.
@@22BulletProofKid22 that’s true I guess
@@grimreaper63151If you watch Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2 Endor DLC where Starkiller fights Leia and at the end of the battle Starkiller uses one lightsaber to lock in with Leia then he uses the other one to kill her
@@skyguy_ofc only time I’ve seen it happen tbh. And also once with general grievous but that’s it
@@grimreaper63151 oh
Y’all can’t lie, that lightsaber fight was epic.
Anyone remember Jedi Outcast? I miss the old ‘one hit, one kill’ lightsaber combat in that game…
Skipping-with-lightsabers hums is my new favorite thing.
Pretty fun, but pretty sure that this would apply to pretty much EVERY Star Wars game
Jedi academy actually had proper fighting and you used force healing if you knew how to or use the rare bacta station till your health is full or its empty and you could actually cut off limbs properly including human looking characters like sith and stormtroopers
@@100percentNotaBot Jedi Academy HAS proper fighting. Getting a clean hit on your opponent SHOULD instakill them when you're wielding a fricking beam of pure light capable of cutting through almost any material!
They're not gore enthusiasts, they're enjoyers of games with good, original mechanics.
@@100percentNotaBot It's not about the gore so much as it's about the satisfaction of seeing your attack actually having some impact and consequence.
Unless they have a phobia of gore, I see most streamers going WHOA! when they cut a persons head off. It is normal for people to have that reaction because guess what, people understand that video game violence ain't real, it's ok to find fictional mutilation enjoyable.
Jedi Knight games are the only games who got lightsabers right in a video game.
One of the best melee combat games of all times. The guns and shooting is quite satisfying as well. Nowadays we got this soulslike crap with lightsabers. Original game development is fckn dead and Fromsoft killed it
i only played jedi academy, and I remember depending on difficulty, you could get one shot by a single lightsaber hit, and also kill the final both with a single hit
@@j1337-l1n Aye, that's difficulty done right IMO. I never felt that any boss fight was a bullet (or lightsaber) sponge in JKA
@@Yorikoification This is pretty hyperbolic. Gaming trends come and go, and to be frank, From's influence will hardly last as nobody has really successfully replicated their formula or evolved it meaningfully, nor do devs realize that From games are inherently niche. Maybe it leaves a little bit of lasting influence in making difficult games slightly more mainstream, or popularizing a way of doing stamina, or some small detail like that, but I highly doubt 10 years from now we'll even remember what the term soulslike means. But in any case, the seed of your statement isn't really true either. Gaming is an iterative art form. Originality didn't die when Doom was getting cloned, and those clones were MUCH more blatant. Not to mention, that process eventually birthed highly influential games like Half-Life. In a year or two, there will be some new hotness on the gaming scene, everyone will copy it, and someone else will make your exact comment, only replacing From's name with a different developer, while they wax nostalgic about some game that came out in the mid 2010s.
@@alphajackal6648 Dark Souls 1 came out 12 fricking years ago and the soulslikes don't stop coming. I know that trends come and go but I'm getting old and I wish for new kinds of games to be made before I crumble to dust.
What the heck do you mean "From's influence will hardly last"? It's been more than a bloody decade! As for nobody successfully replicated it.....There are an absolute fudgeton of soulslikes were some do certain parts of the game better than their origins. The combat is so simple that it's one of the easiest to replicate by far.
Judging from most of the populace tho, everyone is endlessly praising that game design and can't take any criticism made towards it but it's got a ton of undeniable, glaring issues. As long as it's being treated like this kind of perfect formula I dread that nothing is going to change in the gaming industry.
This trend has gone on for so long snd every goddamn fantasy or medieval game made these days just copy pastes Dark Souls stupidly simplistic "dodge and attack" combat.
I don't know why so many people think the Choreography in the Video is better than in the movies, when there are very similar...
Anyway great Job and thanks for the funny Video! 😊
Here for the lightsabers fight I needed. Choreography very good and satisfying. Especially saber sounds and the spinnings.
"YOU'LL be red for a second!" Took me out😭😭🤣😂🤣
2:50 oh they only have that becaus their shitty movie protag had to break all the lore and get all the deus ex shit
You can just SEE the love you guy's have for the Star Wars Universe!
You really give it all to make the best action for us to watch. WAAAY better than the Disney Star Wars movies did that sometimes just phoned it in...
I've always taken saved games/autosaves/checkpoints to be parallel universes. He died in the first universe - but in another universe he put more work into his lightsaber skills and became a dual-wielder.
wasn't expecting this skit to have insane choreography
The Inquisitor in this video somehow looks a little more like Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.
Unironically better and more suitable for Jedi, Saber battles, than the Disney trilogy.
how is it that this is better than any duel in the sequel trilogy ?
I love how half the comments are just people saying how this is better than every lightsaber duel in the sequels
Originality is officially dead
me too 😎
AMAZING CHOREOGRAPHY
For a comedy sketch, the choreography was unironically frickin' rad! Props to the choreographer!
