<Snipped quote by Vordak>

I don't see why she'd force her right arm across her body to angle the sword like that instead of angling her right arm away from her body to make the point aim to the left around his knife as it slides along the inside. Perhaps the way you tapped your knife against it is what I'm improperly envisioning.

Well, i don't think either of us even mentioned Hikaru angling the blade with her hands. Just to clear this up - at what angle do you want her to strike? At a steep angle, or perpendicular to his chest?
