wow what a transition. From polishing your wood to watching two guys beat each other with theirs LOL

[Skywalkermesonman]

Play "Warriors Suite" from Rurouni Kenshin over this video. Epic.

[Skeif13]

Someone explain the rules to me!

@EvidensInsania What European swordsmanship are you referring too? There are many different types.

[EvidensInsania]

Can't help but feel very board watching this. I guess I've been spoiled by all the European sword fighting I've seen, and I mean the actual stuff done with correct historical techniques, not the hack and slash crap Hollywood has made people think it is. Proper European swordsmanship blows this away but doesn't get nearly the amount of respect it deserves from most people.

I think he had a seizure and tried to play it off.

[Xyreth]

I wish they had commentary so i knew what was happening

@jwul28 Only at about 6:21 this gets exciting. Anything earlier was... uneventful so to speak.

@haloman123123 Same here. It's more like I'm reading Bamboo Blade then landed myself here. Haha. Doesn't look as intimidating as what the manga makes it out to be. More calm and collected. Yes, the true path to becoming a jedi warrior. Lol.

@ SakuyaFM So it's quite rare to get points I'm assuming?

[TheAdmiralPancake]

Persona 3 brought me here.

[llmOtItallk3]

Jesus... that was a tense match to watch.
