Yes this is very old, but very useful. Thanks for posting.

Lots of people like to smiley whore eh?

Anyway, this IS a useful tutorial for new people, this could probably be stickied, dunno why it wasn't before.

The bit saying "defending" is true.
In a Twin Swords fight, I knocked the other person down, but they were about to kick me, full on in the middle between the legs and the chest (so i'd be in 2), but luckily, thanks to the physics ghost, i saw it was in a kick position, so i moved the swords infront of my body, and luckily it blocked the attack, plus cut they're foot and leg off :3
