I voted for strikers because you'll almost always knock someone down with it and they have higher speeds.

I vote striker, too, because I can knock down multiple shooters at once (even if they're not bunched, if I plan my strike right), and I can close the distance on my opponents fast enough to make sure I don't lose too many strikers in the advance. Now, if only I had that Clone Sergeant to advance with my striker groups, I'd be really deadly.

Shooters are more fun, but Strikers are more reliable. I tend to mix it up in my teams though, rather than specializing on one or the other.

Interesting to hear you say that you think shooters are more fun, Meepo. My wife is of the same opinion, but I have much more fun with strikers. I can imagine myself during the Battle of Geonosis, charging the droid army on the open battlefield after being airlifted from the arena, trying to wipe out my enemies before they pick off all the charging Jedi...
In contrast, I feel like shooting is like a real-life first-person shooter; nothing terribly new or invigorating to me.

Why thank ya I think I understand what you mean now. I think that good shooting is an easier thrill to start out with (heck, it's what got me started on Attacktix, to begin with!), but I've always been partial to the lightsaber battles to the gun battles. And once I figured out the skills necessary for good striking (which took much longer than figuring out good sniping skills), I felt like I had accomplished more. I guess it all comes back to my disappointment with the transition in warfare (however inevitable) from personal, one-on-one, strongly skill-based swordsmanship to the impersonal, many-on-many, highly variable skill-based gunnery. It seems like war with guns ultimately is less honorable than war with swords. However, I can certainly appreciate the skill necessary for good sniping ;D

yeah i agree all tha way except that i like shooters more. problay cuase i just started a lil time ago and i only have 14 guys cuase i gave most to friends so i could have some one to play with. but i just like shooters more cuase usualy they cost less so you can have more on a team with out goin over 500 points.

Quite true; that may change when Series 2 comes out with the 10 point basic Jedi soldier, but for the time being, you can certainly have more overwhelming numbers with shooters.

Oh, I think they'll be worth it I'd just bunch them in behind a bunch of the Jedi leaders, then detach them from the main group to thwack away once I get close to my enemies. They're a very few of the Series 2 figures I plan to get.
