In this video, we go over what the rules are for this new fencing weapon, how similar it is to traditional fencing, and how close it is to realistic lightsaber fighting, and what it means for Lightspeed Saber League.
As mentioned earlier, the league is going through some changes, as we often do at the end of the year, following completion of all major tournaments. We are committed to improving our gameplay to make it funner and fairer, and more rewarding of people’s skill and dedication.
Have you been itching to join the league but not sure how? Well now’s your opportunity to get together with others like you and league leadership, who are eager to share their knowledge. Find out everything you need to get started, how to learn on your own, and how to get a group together and build a base. All without having to go anywhere.
Please excuse our spacedust while we do major reconstruction on the site. Recently, we split off Lightspeed Saber Academy to its own website, so we can finally focus on the specific needs of the school and the larger organization without getting cluttered.
Late in 2018 we’d come to realize just not enough people were using defensive actions, even though it’s something we all admire. But it was late in the year, so we had to put it off until 2019. Now, we finally have the chance to implement some much needed updates to the rules.
Get your Ren-sabers ready! Crossguards are now officially legal in Lightspeed Saber League. There are, of course designed drawbacks to using them.
