| Cool Signature Attacks??
Anyone know of anyone that has a cool signature move/attack, or has one themselves?
For instance, this one guy I know does kind of a crazy baseball slide.

| Well, I didn't really describe it... but it doesn't warrant a yellow card.

| My signature move is wandering into my opponent's distance with my blade down thinking about the next touch, and getting hit.

After some hunting, I found only one other response I have written to you (thread about stepping off the strip). It was snotty. Sorry. | |

| I like the one about a moistened bint lobbing a scimitar. Not really an attack, per se, but cool nonetheless.
That and the one about giving a man a fire.

| I never sign my attacks. I'd rather my opponent not remember who hit them, or how, in case I have to fence them again.

| Ivan Lee has a really cool one where he hits you, no matter who you are.
I've been trying to adopt that, but it's been slow going. | |

| Yeah, I've also been trying to learn Ivan Lee's strategy for repechage: "Don't lose." | |

| I have a friend and he has this really wierd infighting technique that we named the Dirty Persian. When the dstance gets too close he turns his shoulders and ends up bending so that he strikes from between his arm pit and torso. you would have to see it I am not doing it justice

| Go into standard toe touch movement.
At the end bring your blade up.
Hit in the chest and leave them bewildered.
Works well on lower level people. Damn good fun. | |

| Just "fun" even without the good would be unlikely.
unless you had a negative in there somewhere
