The high ground was just a ruse. Obi Wan has the advantage on the low ground. Vs Maul and Grievous, he attacked from below. Taunting Anakin about the high ground was just to make Anakin try to get the high ground so Obi Wan could attack from below. Which he did.
Attacking from the low ground in melee combat is advantageous as you can just go for the ankles, as my niece figured out very early on when we used to play lightsaber battles. She’d insist I stand on the bed, and she’d slice off my ankles, it’s over, Auntikin, I have the lot ground, haha.
It’s also weird that Anakin couldn’t just force push Obi off the high ground into the lava. Didn’t even try.
I’m about ligjtsaber fights obviously but in swordfighting Id say that having the high ground gives easy access to your opponents head, ontop of that you bring more weight into some of the hits making it harder to block. Source: my family all do reenactments including swordfighting so ive learnt a little bit too.
just be like an anime character who endures the hits from above by standing straight and tall and crushing the ground and sinking into it
Definitely an advantage, although Shreev can already jump like a motherfucker
I don’t get it
You should get really high. It will help.
God fucking damnit
Haha thanks, I whooshed as well!
Jaha we need to add more stools to memes now
I dunno, sounds pretty shitty to me.
