<Snipped quote by YipeeXD>

A parry is a deflect. You never out and out block with a sword, as it chips the blade, and if your blacksmith had a bad day, it could get your sword cloven in Two. And locking blades decides the winner instantly, as the stronger one, or the faster one in some cases, will disarm the other.

Sword fights in movies are complete bull yo.

Now I can't stop thinking about Metal Gear Rising... So much parrying....
