The Second form of Lightsaber Combat allowed melee combatants to duel one another efficiently and elegantly. But it was far from sufficient to deal with the realities of war, where you neither fight single opponents, nor do you exclusively get the opportunity to employ Melee.
The Third form was the Jedi’s response to the growing need for a form that could protect them from blaster fire and ensure that their pathetic dogma of peace and pacifism can be propagated even on the field of battle.
This form is the embodiment of everything that is being Jedi. But learning about it still serves us. We are Sith, we are to adapt, and knowing is the first step in doing so.
Soresu at its core focuses on nigh stationary defense. Your blade forms a bubble around you with constant movement, deflecting blaster shots whilst turning away blades. Its strength lies in its energy conservation and effective protection against multiple forms of attacks.
Where it lacks is offense, and that is by design. The Jedi, in their weakness believe that tiring and opponent out and then forcing them to surrender.
Unlike the Jedi we, the Sith, understand the reality of the universe. Mercy is a weakness, and so is this form if it is used passively. The Sith who employ this form are expected to be focused and ready to exploit the weakness in the form of an enemy. They need to be willing to take the opportunity and slay their opponent the moment they find the opening.
The entire fight will become the search for that one particular mistake. You will show your opponent no ground, no mercy and no hope. You will show them your superiority, you will show them that you are immovable, and when their spirit is broken, you will break their body.
The opening stance for Soresu starts with the dominant foot being moved back, and your lightsaber is held in one hand, moved behind your head whilst being extended forward. Your other hand meanwhile extends forth, inviting your opponent, mocking and taunting them.
Another variation on that is a guard similar to what Ataru would adopt as its opening stance after it was developed after Form III. Referred to as the Brace-Ready stance, you position your blade beside yourself at waist height and angle it upwards while you move your dominant foot back while the other foot is slid forth.
Deflecting Slash: This move makes use of the momentum generated by a blaster deflection in order to engage a target adjacent to yourself.
Circle of Shelter: A more advanced move which is best described as a battle meditation technique, the Jedi apply it to close out all emotion during a fight, and focus to such an extent that they become able to hold their grounds against up to a dozen if not more blaster wielding combatants at once.
Us Sith approach this from a different view, with our focus honed, our passions on the fore and our unparalleled understanding of combat, we can begin to expect the enemy’s moves as they decide them in real time.
This form is more of a mentality than it is a rigid set of rules, dogmas and moves. By technicality, it is applicable with most if not all of the marks of contact, for you are focusing on the one opening you get to end the fight. You will not be picky about how you end your opponent.
This document serves as a basis of understanding to both fight and apply this form in a way that adheres to our philosophy. If we are to not succumb to the cowardice and seeming comfort this form gives us, we need to be firm in mind and driven.
The last thing this guide will address is dealing with users of Soresu.
There is a small window of opportunity at the beginning of combat during which the user of the form is trying to find their inner focus or prepare themselves for the combat. During this time their defenses are considerably weaker and less focused.
If you cannot break their form by then, you will have to continuously bait them and focus on disrupting their concentration, practices such as Dun Möch and abilities that allow us to look into an enemy’s psyche are the most surefire way of ruining their focus on their form.
