This gif poses a valid Question.
Since Finn only got standard Stormtrooper training we can't expect him to be able to reliably block blaster shots with the lightsaber.
This would require precognition ony those gifted with the force could achieve after special training. (Even if the force was strong with him I doubt that takes up a big part of stormtrooper trainin).
The Vibroblade wielder could have just used his blaster.

he could have, but he also had no guarantee that Finn wouldn't be able to block it. as far as he knows, Finn could be the next jedi-in-training, and in that case, the blaster would just get him killed. the riot baton is a weapon the guy knows how to use, and it's a much better match even against a half-decent saber wielder.
plus, you think he'd betray his trusty riot baton like that? what are you, some sort of traitor?

Even if he can block the blaster shots - reflecting them to the attacker is a whole new level.
The rational decision for effective results would have been to just shoot - especially since Finn apparently hadn't noticed him before beeing called a traitor.
But maybe he wanted to call him out and look into his eyes while bludgeoning his treacherous noggin

true - but they have no reason to think that Finn isn't at that level. as far as the other troopers knew, Finn was a loyal stormtrooper with no access to lightsabers. by this point, re-evaluating their assumptions is not a bad idea.
also, it's entirely possible they wanted to grab him alive - interrogate him for info, make a very public example of him, use his as bait, whatever.

He ran away like a week ago. How was he supposed to become a Jedi master in an instant.
And if he is at that level of lightsaber proficiency he would be almost impossible to defeat in mellee combat too.
If you can predict somebody's movements in that way and have such lighning fast reflexes a slow swing of a vibroblade should be even more easy to block/avaod than a blaster shot.
You might still capture him alive after shooting him with a blaster.
I suppose they have advanced medical tech in a galaxy far, far away and not all shots are instantly leathal

he could've been a jedi the whole time. he was pretty damn traitorous the whole time. plus, there haven't been more than a handful of jedi in the galaxy for nearly 60 years. so no-one knows quite how they work.
I'm not saying that the decision to use the baton was a good one - I'm saying that he might not have known enough to make the best decision.

He did not know Finn wasn't force sensitive,or this was his first time with a lightsaber. From his perspective Finn was a trained Jedi,and he didn't want to get shot by his own blaster

All these long winded explanations, here I'll tell you...he wanted to make it personal. Yeah sure you could shoot someone and end it right there but with a melee weapon you take it up close and personal and YOU decide when to end a traitors suffering! he probably wanted to take his time in beating the **** out of FN as punishment for betraying the First order.

So then you agree you're about as original as the other 99 people who posted these in the comments for every traitor post?

I was curious too so I backtracked the lyrics to Metal Gear Rising: "The Only Thing I Know for Real". I have to play some of these games, the soundtracks are so good.

Are you implying that Metal Gear Rising is even a ******* Metal Gear game? Because it's ******* not.
True Metal Gear music is a lot less metal.
Like this one for example, even if it's from MGSV which I've heard a lot of people also don't consider a true Metal Gear game because it stopped being a unique sneaky stealthy game and became Far Cry Solid. Still a great song though.

angrybacteria (12/31/2015) [-] By that logic "Halo Wars" is not a Halo game because it is an RTS.
An RTS set in the same universe as all the other games.
An RTS where you have the same soldiers and the other games.
An RTS that references the other games.
Just because a game crosses genres doesn't mean it's not from the series that gave it birth. I understand that Revengeance isn't a stealth game but it is still Metal Gear game, and I would love to check it and the others out.
