Thread: Matrix RP - "This Is A Sparring Program..." *INTRODUCTION AND DISCUSSION*

Ooh, you're rushing in! Pencils in hand to boot. This'll be a fun one to defend against.

Are you clear on how my stance is laid out? Right now, my blade and arm are in front of my face, not enough to obstruct my view too greatly, but in order to get to my face your hand is going to have to pass through the two of them. I'll draw up a quick doodle if you want. =)

Ok, I wasn't all to clear before now, but I think I understand. (I've been drinking. Bare with me. Lol.) I didn't quite interpret the post well enough at first, but now that I've thought about it, I imagine that you're something like this:

But maybe with your arm right behind the blade of the sword (higher than it is in the picture). If this is the case, then I probably shouldn't have thrown the attack that I did. BUT, I'd believe that if you stay in that spot long enough to defend in a way that puts my attacking (pencil-wielding) fist in danger, you might be susceptible to the following blade slicing across your midsection. If you swipe your blade upward to attack my left arm, then I could still swing my fist upward to evade your blade I think. We'll see. I'll let the attack stand as it is and see what I can do with it, upon your next move.

Lawl, yeah, that's pretty accurate. You're right, it is supposed to be a bit higher, though.

Remember, I still have the scabbard ready. Although, I would need to block with it like you would blade to blade (Glancing and sliding, direct parries ruin the sword) if I didn't want your attack to slice right through it (which will happen now that there's force behind it). Doable, but it's a one time trick since you'll end up cutting through it longways making it less than reliable if I ever try to use it again.

We'll see what happens. If I still have any creative juices tomorrow after writing my research paper and other class related goodies I'll try to put something up. ^.^
