The Kensai Mod is now in Beta. If you are tired of JK3's random and crypitc saber fighting, I encourage you to check this out. http://www.gearheadgame.com/kensai/main.htm
The Kensai (Japanese for "sword saint") Mod is an overhaul of Jedi Academy's saber combat for advanced players. While the saber combat in JA had many improvements over its predecessor, Jedi Outcast, the random saber clash resolution and damage ramping system still resulted in a sloppy and cryptic system. The Kensai Mod streamlines the combat and adds several features to give it depth. No more haphazard saber-clanging while waiting to pull off your next special move. Reversals, stuns, disarms, defense breakers and more are now at your disposal.
Other Mods like MovieBattles and ProMod have tried fixing the saber combat in their own ways. The Kensai Mod draws most of its inspriation from 3d fighting games like Soul Calibur and Virtual Fighter. While it doesn't go for "realism", it does make saber combat slick, intense, and fun.
The server "Kensai Mod" should be up and running.

Wow, that's a very unique and interesting concept you have there.
I'll see if I have time to test it out. :)

I forgot to mention the reason I am posting the link here is because I would like to see if other modders are interested in integrating Kensai into thier bigger projects. There could be a var to indicate if you want the saber system to be Kensai or "Vanilla JA". There are a lot of great gameplay enhancement mods out there. They could be even better with the streamlined saber combat in Kensai.
