    the name of this move?

    ok i have a move that no one can perry but i dont know hte name of it and everyone i go against want to know the name of it. obviously im not going to tell them, i just want to know for myself.

    i just start out in the 6 line, and do a faint of strait thrust on the outside of their blade, then as they react to it i disengage, bring my arm around in some crazy whip like motion and plant the tip in their chest.

    after typing that it sounds like a normal faint of strait thrust, to a disengage but it has way more whip and motion to it than that actual move.

    any clues? haha sorry if this is just some dumb noob question.

Burnished to flash like lightning on the precipice of war. The wolves are dead in Albion whilst the passive flocks roam free. This, my penetrant spearhead shalt pierce these foul, trespassing breeds!

    Sounds like some kind of flick. Are you fencing same-handed, or is it done lefty-righty?

    A "Sloppy Disengage"?

    And I tend to agree with EDew that there are some people able to parry it.

    Or not parry at all: "feint of straight thrust on the outside of the blade"?

    I think my "reaction" would be....fleche!

    Sounds like maybe you're breaking up the timing (broken-time attack?) by pulling your weapon way back so that the parry doesn't come at the right time.

    And yeah, there are people who can parry it.
    Help! I'm 'fallen' and I can't get up!

    Yeah, sounds like a feint-disengage, with a lot of extra, sloppy hand movements thrown in there.

    I think he described only one, or maybe two extra, sloppy hand movements.

    Call it George

    It sound's like a feint-deceive with a chest flick thrown in for good measure.

    Actually its called losing the attack by pulling your arm back, and then attempting to whip the blade into the chest.

    Call it "The Angry Dragon"

    Lost tempo attacks are valid actions sometimes...although I agree, THE ANGRY DRAGON is a great name for it.

    Now that I think of it, if it's as powerful as all that, and considering the wielder, maybe you should call it "Mjollnir".

    Would Mjollnir pass the 500g weight test?

    I await the opportunity to referee a foil bout between Thor and Odin...

    I think you have discovered the secret move, that fencing scholors have sought for centuries. You are the chosen one.

    Not really, but many a saber coach thinks they're Aesir...
