Jedi Knight Academy - Core Lightsaber Mechanics Speedrun Tutorial

This video is another portion to the JKA community advanced speedrunning guide!! In this I go over a multitude of lightsaber mechanics that are useful to optimizing damage and increasing consistency of killing enemies quickly. The guide itself is purely for single player usage when approaching a speedrun of JKA meant to educate people who do not have extensive multiplayer experience and refresh old concepts to seasoned veterans of MP and educate them on the subtle differences between modded MP servers and SP JKA.

I am really proud of the information contained in this guide; all of these strategies featured were developed and refined over a multitude of hours by myself. That being said, the purpose of this guide to declare the strat, and give just enough information for you to effectively apply it in a speedrun.

For this reason, it was impossible for me to include all of the information I wanted and is only pertinent for single player usage when applied to a speedrun.
