Because you reached Light Side 5 already, but not Dark Side 5.

Dang. I was just going to jokingly say "Because the Sith are better." :P

You have to unlock the alternate combat styles by maxing alignment, you have light side styles because you've had a character reach Light Side V, you need a character to reach Dark Side V to use Sith combat styles on a non-Sith.

I think you can also purchase the alignment unlock in your Legacy somewhere for a couple hundred thousand credits, but I'm not certain.

It’s 250,000 credits to unlock via Legacy.

You haven't hit Dark 5 to chose Sith styles on Jedi from character creation.

You hit Light 5 to use Jedi styles on Sith from creation.

There’s no need to create sith or jedi. OP needs just to hit V rank of the dark side on other character and unlock perk in the legacy.

I meant so OP could play a Sith class on a Jedi from the point of creation and what OP already did to play Jedi styles on a Sith from the same point.

Didn't say there was a need to create, i was explaining how it works.

Because it takes Light V for Sith to become a Jedi and it takes Dark V for a Jedi to become a Sith.

Long story short, NG+ feature.

Because you haven't reached Dark V on any character's alignment yet.

Getting your alignment at full Light Side allows Jedi styles on Sith origins.
