I think I made it pretty clear that a sword-type weapon vs. a whip-type weapon... is really no match. The sword-type weapon is at a DISTINCT, tangible and clearly presentable disadvantage.

It's actually pretty obvious when you consider the length alone... but when you also have the flexibility and unpredictability of a whip... it adds a level of difficulty TENFOLD.

Not to mention... ok... *I* have experience with sword weapons. Gravy has NO experience with whips. The results tell the story. If either Jenzo or Gravy actually *HAD* heavy martial training in sword or whip... it would have been even MORE murderous, heheh!

So... no matter how you slice it... whether I "did better" next time... or "if my ankle was 100%" (and not badly sprained)... or if I was really trying 125% or whatever... or if there was better lighting...

...really... it wouldn't matter. MAYBE the sword-wielder could achieve a *FEW* more successes. But not many. :)
