it is kind of funny writing commentary in fics about the differences between Cal and Cere's fighting styles when Cal's fighting style is....technically dependent on how good of a gamer you are and I am a Bad gamer XD 'Cal over-relies on a few key practiced moves, while Cere is more fluid, natural' yeah because there was actual fight choreography involved in Cere's fight in Fallen Order, and not just me button-mashing and doing the same thing over and over in the hopes it actually works this time XD

like I think it works thematically and idk this paragraph might end up getting cut, but it is just kind of funny to be like, trying to reflect on canon and how to describe it and then having to be like 'well…that might be on me...'

#my poor skills should not reflect on Cal...but in this case they do haha #sorry Cal my bad #it works tho so I'm keeping the description (for now)#writing problems #specifically fallen order writing problems #also i mean i know you briefly play from Cere's POV in survivor so I'd probably have the same button mashing style problem XD #but i think it does work at least with the comparison in Fallen Order between Cere fighting at the end and player-as-Cal #and generally the difference between someone who might be out of practice but was a master and a half-trained teenager #but yeah file this alongside that post i made years ago like #'i've had cal for five minutes and if anyone hurt him...' but the one hurting him is me being bad at video games #and falling off of things #i think i am improving someone i have SOME strategy now i'm not just slowing and then striking until they un-slow rinse and repeat
