Basically soul caliber with a roster of Star Wars characters.

Since soul caliber already had Vader.

Roster would be amazing

Imagine star killer vs luke
Or Rey vs obi wan

Also, the majority of characters would use the same style.

oh and my favorite lightsaber duels in a game were definitely from jedi power battles:

such epic moments in an overall subpar game.

Revenge of the Sith had a 2 player fighting mode. It was like an extra mode thing separate from the single player. It was fun.

But its not the focus of the game
Thats like calling DK64 a 3rd person shooter because of its versus mode

Im talkinf about a pure fighting genre game with Star Wars characters

It can be done and it can be great. CE just lacks imagination and idk why

This is false

Also its not a bad thing to have clones in a fighting game with their own quirks (ken and Ryu for example)

Obi and anakin would probably be clones

But their movesetd are vastly different from other Jedi like windu and yoda

I mean, 99% of my time in Jedi Outcast was spent lightsaber battling online in what could only be described as one of the most balanced and skillful fighting in a Star Wars game.

Online did not function as an adventure game.

Like for example
Vader would probably have longer frames but be a heavy hitter with strong force power

Maul would probably have limited frames but ton of focus on melee and speed snd zoning in.

Masters of the Teras Kasi was a fighter like that.

It also sucked ass.

Because there are hardly any devs that can make good fighting games

ASW
NRS
Capcom (lol not anymore)
Arika

This is a cool idea, but it would be tough to come up with a decent-sized roster. But if you ignore canon completely, you could do stuff like making Anakin and Vader separate characters and having Finn on the same roster with Jolee Bindo.

Lightsabers are one hit and done weapons.

So they can take a cue from Bushido Blade.

Have Darth Revan and Darth Bane in the roster and I'm in.

Bonus points for Malak, Sion, Nihilus, and The Jedi Exile.

wish they would make another.

the most satisfying part of weapons-based duels is the clashing of weapons and a game like soul edge/calibur is not it.

Yeah, satisfying to WATCH.

I played Kengo Zero, Bushido Blade's spiritual successor which is based all around clashes. It is not that great.

Ummm.

Kid goku and goku were in budokai 3
And teen and adult gohan

Its not a problem at all to have anakin and darth Vader as seperate characters

Fighting games have non canon rosters all the time...

IIRC mandalorian steel is the only substance that can actually stop a lightsaber (other than another lightsaber)

Nah, Obi is a more defensive fighter while Anakin is the type who charges into battle.

One of the closest game to what you're talking about would be Clone Wars for the Wii.
