Nice tips. A few suggestions.
1. When fighting a player using CoB wait until his CoB is at 5 seconds left or so before you KD this way you will do more damage when they sar KD have a higher hit chance and when they get up they will be forced to heal thus giving you more time before CoB is put back up.
2. Fighting jedi defenders. As a pikeman/Swordsman I use this to kill defenders easy. Armour break then Melee hit 2 to 3 times until they are at 70% health. At this point use corellian ale. KD then headhit crithit headhit meleehit headhit until out of action. Most jedi are usually dead at this point but if they are alive while your regening action hit CoB then try to keep out of range or apply fencer/pikeman debuffs if you have em. This is my outwait force method for the jedi with very high damage sabers. Any jedi without high damage sabers you really dont need much strategy other than what crespo allready said.

I am a Swordsman, and PvP all the time, so I know what im talking about.
I have a few hints to improve the pvp success of Swordsman, having been one myself.
The Problem & Solution
There are some issues with speed when your using a power hammer, so to start things off, having xxx4 in the doctor proffesion is advised. Having this speed buff, will allow you to use a sac powerup, because powerhammers also have a special action cost issue. Certain foods are very important when using a power hammer, foods like: Crispic, that improve your accuracy by alot, or Correlian Ale. Correlian Ale has a higher accuracy boost than crispic, but lasts for only 60 seconds, on average. Also, use blob candy, because of known sac problems, when using a PH. Of course, use any other foods you have to go along with it, these are just the basics.
Now, when your facing a Melee or a Jedi, you want to use all of your attacks fast, so that they are so busy healing, that they arent damaging you. (Get the first hit in if you can). When your out of action, use this following tactic. Use headhit, then melee hit, repeat, this will keep them healing every other time you complete this cycle. Try and get a KD in if possible, when their health is low, this will stop them from being able to heal (except stims), so that you can get one powerful blow in, incaping them.
I always use this tactic when facing melee and jedi alike. (Usually ranged arent very challenging when they are in range of an attack) Sometimes, you will find that good melee and jedi wont go down untill their mind runs out, but do not worry. Their mind will run out soon enough.
One final tip, if you are low on health, and your heal timer is taking a while to go through, use a knockdown (if you can), so that you have enough time to heal and get back in there.
When I use this tactic, I rarely lose 1v1.
Well, I hope this helps, good luck.
((There is a similar post to this, on the Pikeman forums, helping them out, take a look if you would like))
Good luck, guys.
Bringdown some jedi for me.

Hmm...
One would think this is a good idea.
But in the long run it isnt. 33 fill on average. You can use food + drink to get same or better stats. And you cannot stack these foods and drinks with the kiwi swirl.

Food menu for champions:
Food:
1. Blob Candy
2.Save the rest of your stomach for Steak and Wafers
Drink:
1. Spice tea
2. Coreillian Ale how many you take in a given fight depends on the amount of oppents you are facing and the need for #3
3. Save the rest of your stomach for Ruby Biel with filling nuts used in it, also known as 13fill ruby
4. Optional for those that have the x2xx medic template. Using +25 heal efficieny tapes along with 1250 effecttoss enhaners and some aitha you can heal yourself with bacta toss for around 1100 and bacta shot for around 850.
All those foodsand drinks look pretty with there stats but they do hardly anything for you. Honestly what is a +300 health food gonna do for you? I would rather use the filling that food takes for some steak thats gonna cut damage down 40 - 45% its saving me alot more health than 300! The most important foods in the game is Steak with its little brother wafers and Ruby Biel everything elseis Fluff.
#1 tip that I can give on fighting is dont use your freaking KD on the intial strike, save that sob for when either there health is low or there action is low.
#2 tip is drop freaking tkm and pick yourself up some 6.5k armor and 75% ab slice that gear. If your not wearing ab armor your never gonna compete with the top dogs.
#3 tip is attachments and template advice. Try and cap yourself on gen and 2h acc if you dont have the money to do both spd andaccgo with acc first it will be more beneficial for you than the little bit of what spd does for you. Sure it raises your dps but guess what dps means nothing. Really should have at least the xxx4 tk or xxx4 fencer line in your temp for the acc mods there as well, both is great. If your acc is higher than your opponents melee defense you get a bonus in damage output 
#4 tip and probably the most important because your not gonna learn much just sitting here reading the forumsis get out there and fight and learn for yourself. Run around by yourself learn to take on 2,3,4 different people at the same time sure the chances of you winning are slim but its good practice on tanking, healing and keeping yourself alive. A 1 v 1 situation becomes cake after learning how to keep yourself alive for long periods of time against multiple enemies.
