SO... MANY... HIGH... CROSSES...

Jesus, one short cross to the sword side would seriously kill these guys. Stop high crossing, it's bad for your health.

0:51 = O_O

@Regdarx11 : Oh ok I see, yeah I'm familiar with that move but I agree that it is not very effective.

[Regdarx11]

Look, there are two simul high crosses at 0:30 about. That's what I mean.

[Regdarx11]

@Halofreakanoid [to continue] This creates a vicious circle of endless high crosses. It's just bad form and not very effective (high-risk, low-reward).

A simply counter is to throw a "short cross" to the sword side or even shield side if they move the shield too much. Simply throw a shot at the guy's raised arm/exposed back/torso.

Or even a flat wrap. (Search Arrakis on Flat Wraps. It's a great source. 2 vids btw.)

[Regdarx11]

@Halofreakanoid If you are a righty, it is:

1. Shifting weight to left leg. Then,

2. Throwing a shot ("cross" since you are crossing your centerline) at the opponents right shoulder (your left). (That's where the "high" part comes from.)

3. Most often accompanied by the shoving of one's shield into your right armpit in order to protect your now-exposed right-arm-right-torso-area-rig­ht-hip.

See how many opening there are? That's usually attacked by the common fighter with a HIGH CROSS.
