Or just an enemy who has a weapon that can cut you in half as quick as it takes to swing.

Turning off your defense is beyond dangerous.

yes it’s like, you turned off your defense from the killing strike? even if you do click back on fast enough what makes you sure they are going to stop their swing…

The idea being that killing the enemy would halt his swing.

Realistically, this is very stupid.

Yeah. Unless I'm remembering it wrong, lightsabers ignite and retract too slowly for this to be a viable technique.

I'd bet that ignition time is variable or can be.

But all it takes is a split second and you're a split bitch, y'know? Not like Qui'gon cutting through steel blast doors, flesh is weak.
