Thread: I think TKA finally got their wish
To which I replied, "Vort - - this is Star WarshistoryTeras Kasi is a martial art that was specifically designed to combat Jedi. It’s been twisted a bit today and I'll follow up with that."
Hes contradicting himself there. He acknowledges the fact that Teras Kasi was designed to fight Jedi. He knows it, the Devs know it, everyone and their grandmother knows it. But theyre not going to make it that way for SWG.

Uhm not really, since the only players who deserve to have this ability are MBH and it will give them some worth for being an MBH and keep out these dabblers that alot of people hate, myself included.
Think about it, thats like these FOTM using tka just for meditate, thus making you no longer unique...do you like this? I doubt it.
It really belongs at master since only thing MBH get now is a few more specials and some mods...I mean w/ sp reduction in that profession....its only way to keep it unique for the true BHs and make it worth mroe to dabblers to get MBH...otherwsie go hunt a NPC boon.
Also, jedi sabre blocking will be fixed where high end jedi block 80%max shots and normal block 40-60% so melee really wont have the upper hand anymore being that melee is close enough to get tore up by that sabre quick.

TKA = ninjas
see the bit in 'the last samurai' where all the ninjas sneak up and kick off with the samurai.

A form of hand-to-hand combat, roughly translated into "steel hands, that is taught in the Pacanth Reach, a remote star cluster in the Outer Rim. A mystical form of martial arts, teräs käsi, has long been practiced on the planet Bunduki, where it is taught by the Follower of Palawa. Its practitioners also study history, philosophy, and metaphysical subjects. [SOTE]
Arden Lyn is a master of teräs käsi. [MTK]
The patterns of movements are based on the hunting characteristics of various beasts throughout the galaxy and are given names like Charging Wampa, Rancor Rising, and Dancing Dragonsnake. Darth Maul practices the deadly art of teräs käsi. Riding Bantha is a teräs käsi wide stance. The förräderi half twist stance allows the fighter to spring in any direction. The Death Weave is another attack.[DMSH]
ÄSLAJÄ, BUNDUKI - The Force was not with Jedi Knight Joclad Danva tonight. In the evening air of the final purple-hued moon of the season, the formerly undefeated Danva was humbled in teräs käsi combat by new Palawa Band champion Phow Ji. Ji ended the exhausting 47-minute bout with a rancor-rising, aryx-slash, nexu-grin combination. "Joclad's failure is just further proof that this ‘force' is nothing more than a myth perpetuated as an excuse to retain power," said Ji (19-0), the home-planet favorite. "Enlightenment and strength is not the exclusive domain of a recluse tower on Coruscant."
A deferential Danva conceded the contest, but insisted the Force did not fail him. "The art of teräs käsi is about control and mastery of one's self. The Force is the power of all living things," claimed the Jedi. "To go outside of myself and call upon the Force during the Palawa quest would violate the purity of teräs käsi. Phow was superior this day within the confines of the discipline." Earlier, Danva and Ji defeated quarter final and semi-final opponents with relative ease. Notable combatants included locals Chaq-Quaj Ee (19-3), Beru Slee (76-5), Celjo Mi (22-7), and surprising finishes for offworlders Lungrolph Isher (Krish 10-12) and Talon Slyter (Draethos 36-19).
In a quarter-final contest, popular Epicanthix fighter Dux Pike suffered a fatal shenbit-bonecrusher blow from Phow Ji. Pike is survived by his wife and infant twin daughters. [HN.COM55]
that's all the devs will concede to; though i'm fairly sure on the planet of bunduki the jedi once came and decimated a large amount of the population; from then on the survivors of the event swore to watch the jedi for they did not trust the jedi to protect them any longer; the survivors were i believe called palawa and they trained themselves to become strong to defend themselves if the horrible event that plagued their planet would ever happen again, this training became known as the teras kasi;
it ended up being something like the shao-lin temple in senses, they kept to themselves and trained against each other and had fighting tourney's with others and also assasinated people who were threatening them in one form or another; only a few jedi have been killed by teras kasi purists (as stated above), but when luke attained his mastery of the jedi and began recruiting to rebuild the jedi after the GCW was over the emporer hired arden lynn and the pike sisters (Zu and Zan) to assasinate the jedi, only because there were'nt very many formidible fighters left in the galaxy that would attempt to kill a jedi (this is not to say that all teras kasi were following in their steps);
arden failed and luke had finally seen the power of the teras kasi and implemented the knowledge he had of it in his training of future jedi this is about all the information on jedi and tka i've ever seen that is real canon... and not much of it leads to tka being jedi hunters... though it's not like BH's should have a vendetta against jedi; never once was a BH hired to kill a jedi andif you think there was please prove it; janga and boba are the only ones formidible vs jedi and though jango did kill a few jedi boba killed none; he was hired to capture han and find luke for vader, so the BH jedi hunters is even more ludicris than TKA being jedi hunters all in all, the only jedi hunters were the sith; and the tka were the next closest thing... not bh's..

The Devs have been quoted as saying that the TKA are SUPPOSED to be designed to fight the Jedi. Once I find the quote Ill post it here.
Do you mean the same Devs who have thousands of jedi running around in a time period when there were only FOUR jedi? The Devs have showed us that they could care less about the storyline... they are just out to make a buck. I wouldn't trust a word they say.
