Edmund vs Trumpkin Narnia 2
« Reply #15 on: October 14, 2021, 05:33:21 pm »


  • It's rather slow.
  • Half the strikes aren't aimed at the opponent, but at his sword. Striking to the opponent's blade is a real thing, but you should be able to hit them int he same strike—which they aren't able to.
  • When Edmund jumps, he could hit Trumpkin easily. Instead he gets into a position like the Longpoint guard, but with the tip way up high so he can't hurt the enemy.
  • Trumpkin's footwork is actually okay. Edmund's, on the other hand, is both stationary (other than the jump) and unstable.
  • The last bind is pretty silly. Edmund appears to be simply spinning his opponent's blade around, which is a real thing—but not for five seconds straight.

Maybe 4.5/10 at most. The one thing I like is the hanging parry.
