The Good, the Bad and the other one… 3
GII tries to void left and throw another r. at GI's head.
GI parries g. d. t. and counters with the traverse/low m. and r. sq.
GII may try to cut r. again, which GI controls with his buckler.
Finish.
The whole form is quite slow, with several pauses to show the technique. GII keeps trying to attack, but does not cover himself correctly. GI covers with the buckler while countering and thus is successful.
Fight 2: Student (hero) vs Master (veteran) (Master forcing the student to riposte quickly and find the openings.)
GI in g. alta, GII in g. alta, both still and elegant
GI cuts m. sq. to buckler, and slips back to g. alta
GII takes the opportunity to launch a r. sq. to GI's head
GI parries with a r. sq. and immediately follows up with a stoc.
GII, having thrown the r. sq. tries to withdraw and parry with buckler.
If stoc. misses, GI pursues two steps with tram.
AT THE SAME TIME GII retreats and tries to parry (true edge or false edge). GI must aim for the openings and use his pace to close down the space.
GII steps left and throws another r. at GI's head.
GI parries g. d. t. and counters with the traverse/low m. and r. sq.
GII may try to parry again, which GI avoids.
Finish.
In this version, GII makes GI work for each hit, varying his response to meet the student's level.
Fight 3: (Slightly smug) Hero vs Henchman
Alexander smirked as Zachary, the disposable red-
Fight 3 uses the same techniques and same basic characters as fight 1, but has a very different feel as gentleman I and gentleman II play out their roles.
