Fighter practice updates..
Hmmm
It was a household practice last night. Scary Bela showed up, but didn't put on armor... He just felt like being a brat, and giving me the whole pile of it.
Let's see.. My ego-shield, while having rolled edges (that aren't sharp, therefore don't cut rattan) he said needed to have edging... My low-profile thrusting tip on my sword was too stiff, and not enough "give" My gorget curls up on the lower part, which isn't illegal, just looks funny...
So, I went out and fought and tried to ignore him, until he hollered that I was throwing flat during a 2-shot combo (GOD DAMN IT!) So, I worked on curling my hand over BEFORE hitting him.. and it worked a bit better. Another thing I worked on was breaking my tendancy to pattern... I hate it when I do it, but if it is mentioned, it stops happening...
Then, I figured, "Ah hell, I am just going to be a fuck-up this evening, he or someone else is going to find whatever to complain about, I am just not going to worry about it"
After that, I just stood the field, and did a MUCH better job. I would let Mus and Kaspar come at me, fight them till they were tired and fought the next one. (my stamina just kept on going and going) I felt a bit bad that my targeting on Kaspar's leg kept killing his knee-cop -- I guess he will be fixing that on Sunday. I hate breaking people's armor. =(
All in all, it was a decent practice, except for me getting a bit riled up from getting shit from Bela. He only does it because he loves me... It's that burning, stinging sensation.
