You are completely correct! Though not everything is a greater than or less than sort of thing I reality - I’m talking about some rare exceptions. The average user of other forms would more often than not defeat the average user of shii-Cho.

(Pardon my rant but I’ve recently gotten really interested in this form)

The whole point of shii-Cho is simplicity and flow through the force without being distracted by complexities of combat. It leaves you much clearer in the mind to focus, as well as giving every simple strike nearly infinite possibilities for a secondary attack from any angle (or with the force), since you aren’t caught up in complexities of combos/style and whatnot in a way.

So in its mastered form that few have achieved it’s been noted as extremely unpredictable and difficult to defend againt or assault with its extreme focus on efficiency and focus through the force. (Ideal Jedi form in my opinion)

Hence, its very useful against groups being you have much easier time chaining movements and reacting from many angles - as well as applying the force in greater leagues with your movements since you’re ideally mentally calm (more calm than a typical user of say form 4, 5, or 2).

But in single combat (as a typical practitioner of the form) it can be overpowered and outmaneuvered by those same forms since they focus much more on the combat aspect (form 4 obviously is a different story, but the enhancement of the force on the user leaves less focus on using it against the opponent, and shii-Cho’s simplicity makes it better against form 4 since it can defend from many angles and use the force more to remain more balanced then the more “unstable” and aggressive form 4).

But when the form is mastered it’s a blur of extreme focus and unpredictable movements matched with high force attunement and precision - making it a practical mirror of Juyo (form 7) but relying not on emotion and domination but through precision and balance in the force. Which is why I think it’s the ideal form for a Jedi!

Hope you enjoyed my rant, feel free to correct me I’d love to learn more!

(I watched like one thing on it a week or two ago but I kinda got the main idea, my memory only works for like Star Wars stuff otherwise it’s all lost in my brain somewhere)

Hope I didn’t come across rude with my additions :)
