The form also doesn’t work well in confined spaces due to the need for room to perform acrobatic maneuvers. Furthermore, the explosive energy of Ataru is physically exhausting, making it difficult to sustain a prolonged attack if victory is not secured quickly. Consequently, the form tends to be inadequate in situations where the practitioner must contend with multiple opponents, as an Ataru attack can be directed against only one enemy at a time and leaves the assailant vulnerable to other foes in the vicinity. It includes few defensive moves and tactics. Where Soresu is almost totally focused on defense, Ataru is all about offense. Shortcomings of Ataru FormĪtaru is essentially the inverse of Soresu, and as you might expect, its main drawback is also the inverse of Soresu’s. Win, lose, or draw, the Ataru expert will not be in the heat of battle for long. Unlike Soresu, Form IV is not designed for lengthy skirmishes. Even with the Force, however, the user of this form is unlikely to be able to sustain their attack for an extended period. ![]() This permits the saber wielder to strike at and maneuver around their opponent with extraordinary speed and dexterity. As this kind of activity is physically demanding, the Ataru practitioner typically draws upon the Force to augment their movements and allow them to perform feats beyond their normal capabilities. The other salient characteristic of Ataru stance is its reliance on acrobatics-flips, leaps, somersaults, etc.-as a means of swiftly adjusting the practitioner’s bodily orientation and enabling them to strike from a potentially unexpected angle. This attack involves blows from many angles and positions as each strike fluidly transitions into the next, resulting in a continuous offensive flurry that is extremely difficult to defend against. Practitioners of Ataru form unleash a quick torrent of lightsaber strikes with the aim of breaking through the opponent’s defenses and bringing the battle to a speedy conclusion. Lightsaber battles that involve this form are truly a sight to see.Ītaru can count some extremely well-known personages among its practitioners, such as Yoda, who used it to great effect in his famed duel with Count Dooku on Geonosis, and Anakin Skywalker. Combining Force-enhanced acrobatics with a fast, constant barrage of attacks, Ataru is the most dynamic and visually thrilling of all combat forms. As a result, Form IV, known as Ataru, places as much stress on offense as Soresu does on defense-it is also called the Aggression Form for a very good reason. During the era when lightsaber combat forms were developed, the limitations of Soresu form soon became apparent, and the form that eventually arose subsequent to it was conceived to address its shortcomings. This form, while highly effective within its limits, has the obvious drawback of giving the practitioner few attacking options. Form III, Soresu, emphasizes defense almost to the exclusion of all other aspects of combat. ![]()
