Cal's fighting styles improving actually makes loads of sense. In Fallen Order, Cal was just getting back into fighting. He had spent so many years hiding and letting his training dull. In Jedi Survivor, Cal has been fighting for years. He's had the time to hone his skills.

Cal is literally one of the most powerful Jedis we've ever seen on screen in survivor. High level Jedi master. Council member tier character. Just below Yoda and windu and the like. And can use the darkside in bursts and come out of it.

EA Developers have watched the previous video from Matt about Jedi:Fallen Order lol. They literally introduced and changed everything he was criticizing in the first video. Removed the dodge roll to smaller evading steps, way more thrusting, adjusting the Two Single Blades fighting style (using one after one not both at the same time, especially using one defensively to block incoming shots and the one for close ranged attacks), using the hilt to attack your opponent, not being in a typical lightsaber lock (with the Raiders for example) but push the saber to the side and trying to get around the opponent, introducing the blaster as an addition. Feels like they did everything Matt wanted them to do lol

while not in this game, in lore (or... in legends at least, idk if its still canon or not) there were what was called "lightsaber pikes". which is precisely what it sounds like. basically a polearm with a haft made of phrik alloy (a lightsaber resistant material), and a shoto saber imbedded into the end. you could 100% use the thing like a traditional spear, quarter staff, or other style despending on what you attached to it.

The real problem with the crossguard stance is that the movements in general are too heavy. The blade of a lightsaber has no weight, the weight is all in the hilt. Crossguard stance should be no heavier than any other stance.

How much power difference do you think the lack of weight in a lightsaber would make when striking and blocking? Surely it would make a difference considering the blade is made of plasma. If you are trying to block a heavier, more traditional weapon w a lightsaber wouldn't the weight of the weapon your blocking plow through your defensive leverage? Strikes would have considerably less power behind them. That's assuming that anyone would make it through lightsaber training without maiming, or killing themselves on accident

Tanto? That being said, Sword and dagger was also very much a thing in Europe. Especially in dueling settings. That's one of the most interesting aspects of the history of fencing the world over: regardless of the weapons (which are mostly similar regardless of where you are on the globe), we have have the same mechanics when it comes to another piece of the puzzle: our bodies. What works works, what doesn't gets discarded. There's no 200 ways about wielding a piece of steel with sensibly the same function as another. There's a lot in common between most martial arts independently from one another. Edit: this made me think of an interesting tidbit regarding SW in particular: how did alien bodies and the way they function influence their martial arts? We develloped our martial arts knowing our limitations and function, but also that of the opponents, similar to our own. Fighting an individual with entirely different articulations, number and or size of limbs, height... would very much ask for new ways to fight.
