Im afraid you did not quite get what i meant. Here are two examples of what i was talking about: Example 1: xxx: i swing my sword verticaly yyy: i block with a horizontal parry and riposte xxx: you parry, fine, but before you counter, i slide my sword against yours, thrusting its tip towards your face yyy: fine, i die Example 2: yyy: i swing horizontaly xxx: i step backwards and counter as your sword passes by yyy: i halt my slash as you dodge, and instead, stab you in the leg as you rush at me xxx: i get hit in the artery and die Though if i understood you right, you are fine with those kind of interruptions. Please, correct me if i am wrong.
