    Phaeton, I suspect this may explain things:

    If you choose the characters menu, and select the tape entitled Bubs, all will be explained.

    and the "ever-parry" will not work forever. what happens when your doing pretty lil circles and i bash your sword forcefully a few times-causing those circles to widen like anna nicole smith after her husband croaked??



    suuure we could get into an if this-then that bout, i wouldnt-but you would, mine is bigger than yours kinda thing, or we could just fence
    and on that note, coming to Kentucky any time soon? i wanna see this lil sidewinder move, seems like (in my addled mind) he might be engaging the blade with his arm??? hense the need to bend his arm into a flick while maintaining priority maybe? i dunno but i cant see how a flick would come into play if your arm is straightening the whole time, unless is went straight past the blade then bent to keep the attacking to your side (i.e. pushing it away with your elbow) while you tried to flick?
    this is very dependant on alot of things i dont know about you so its prolly wrong, and id like to know if such an action is "legal" or even able to be called
    haha i live in ca man. ive been to kentucky like....twice...in the airport...for a very very long time. i hate your airport. ugh. anyways, i just did the move like 40 times breaking it down and analizing it and i guess i lock my elbow up right as i feint, then swivel everything around so i have right of way the whole time. or maybe i just started doing that....whatever. thats the new secret stab heheh.

    While text is a poor medium for this, could you try to explain further what it is you are doing in a step-by-step fashion?

    I'm unclear on what you mean by lock your elbow (unless you mean locked completely straight, in which case I understand what you're saying but now how it either helps or is relevant to the move).

    With "Swivel everything around so i have right of way the whole time" I can't even begin to guess what you mean. Are you swiveling your arm (if so in which direction)? Your body? Both? The foil? Along what axis(/axes) are you swiveling? At what times? What joint(s) are rotating, in what direction(s), when?

    k, elbow gets locked out during the feint means that my arm is completely strait, so that right of way is established.

    then i bend my wrist and do a very wide circular disengage.

    after that i twist my entire upper body to keep the arm strait and bring the point up and then down onto the target.

    Dude, you do not need your arm out all the way to establish ROW. All you need to do is start an offensive action or defend against one.

    Does your fencing master have a handlebar moustache and wear a bandana?

    How do you know your really big disengage isn't going to look like a search for the blade to your referee?

    Duuuh, because the "elbow gets locked out during the feint means that my arm is completely strait, so that right of way is established." C'mon KD5MDK don't you read?

    Strangly enough, this move also works in Mixed Martial Arts - it's called an "armbar", except you lock your opponent's elbow, not your own.

    It truly is: The Best Move in the World!!!
    FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WON'T YOU BUY MY TACTICAL WHEEL!!!????
