Opposition?

My example was one that was intentional. My friend was parrying while closing distance on a fellow with great reach. His parry was performed in the same action as the ripsote. Basically, the parry sent the point past my friend's shoulder leaving him free to continue and make the touch.

AS CJU pointed out, a C-A with Opp is stesso tempo, nything else is parry-riposte.

A step fwd with an attack.
B extends into the attack, collects the blade AND hits A AT THE SAME TIME.

That's what stesso tempo means.

If B leaves A's blade to make the riposte, then it'd be a P-R, not an Opposition.

Again, from
A~Z of Fencing by E.D. Morton
Opposition
To ATTACK WITH OPPOSITION is to attack while maintaining a contact with the opponent's blade somewhat stronger than a mere engagement. There can be no hard and fast rule, but the strength should probably be just enough to carry the defender's blade slightly out of line, without being considerable enough to force it into a new line altogether.
It is possible to PARRY AND RIPOSTE WITH OPPOSITION in the same way; but in this case the term is often used to indicate a mere contact or engagement of the blades, in contrast fo the detached parry and riposte.
We sometime hear of an engagement with opposition. This is engaging and holding the opponent's blade rather more firmly than is usual.

There.
