    Default Straight swordplay + reverse swordplay = ULTIMATE swordplay?

    This got me thinking.

I think Xiao Longnu would be a match for any Great.
    How would QZ swordplay+JM swordplay fair against the swordplay and reverse sableplay (as displayed during the Ming peak fight against ZWJ)?

    And would a practitioner of either combined art (assuming he/she has Great level internal) be a REAL sword GOD?
    You do know that it is just fiction, dont you?

    the combined maiden purity swordplay is a duo type swordplay that is performed by a single person. the forward and reverse sword arts were based on doaist principles so they matched perfectly but it needed four people to cover all of the four points. the four people attacking won't necessarily be more powerful then quanzhen big dipper formation. XLN fought against JLFW, three mongolian experts and five quanzhen elders. if she could hold her own against that, then she should be quick enough to defeat the forward reverse formation.

    Does the forward and reverse sword arts require 4 persons or could 2 persons yield the same power. If only 2 persons is required, then how about the scenario XLN with 2 swords using QZ+JM vs XLN with 2 swords using forward and reverse.

    And btw Kyss, are you saying:
    - forward and reverse sword arts ~ big dipper
    and
    - LFW, three mongolian experts and five quanzhen elders > big dipper ?

    forget the big dipper, ZWJ who barely learned real martial arts just hours before defeated the forward reverse formation. JLFW with his years of refined skills, plus three mongolian experts who were more highly skilled then the quanzhen elders couldn't defeat XLN until five quanzhen elders joined in. i don't think XLN will have any great difficulty with the two huashan and two kunlun experts. as for the big dipper formation, it shouldn't be less then the forward reverse formation, even with just five elders. with seven, it should definitely be better. granted the four experts had only mastered their schools potential to about 30%-40%, but the forward and reverse swordarts weren't an actual formation but just meshed well together because of the shared principles.
