I still don't understand the arm blocking the sword bit though, If his arm is in front of him he'd be blocking his own line of sight. Unless he's staring at the ground head forward.

It's off to his left and above him (because he expected Khazna to drive the sword downwards into his back like he was holding a giant knife.) until he twists it round to initiate the grapple then it blocks the sword. I had to make a rough estimation because a lot of things in this confrontation are pretty much up in the air. Your character's powers aren't the easiest to imagine in this sort of close encounter. 

Also, isn't your character technically indestructible? If he can create these clone swords at the speed of light and then explode them instantaneously I'm not entirely sure how anyone is supposed to actually hurt him considering the only avenue for attack seems to be at melee range. Save for carrying a machine gun into battle, a machine gun would be nice right now. Though Skallagrim nerfed guns in that fashion, so really your character has no particular weakness in this tournament.
