(that I could remember based off the matches i have seen)

As usual make sure you are subscribed to @CyrusofChaos, without him we wouldn't have half as much footage as there is.

This is my first time watching fencing and it's pretty amazing. They're so fast that even at 0.25x slo-mo I often can't tell who won!

No.3 has fantastic stuff for coaching. On the back line, the defender generates masses of distraction / confusion. This slows the attacker right down. The prime-riposte finish is made possible by really hard, tactically intelligent set up.

Bravo!

Nothing more satisfying then just lightly tagging the lead arm of a attacker on a back pedal.

Ref's reaction at 1:45 is priceless

[Thegameshadow]

1:46 even the ref was like "Dayum son".

I swear some fencers are actually just jedi not normal people

[Demphure]

number 10 took some balls to pull off at a tie. Number 4 is something I've only ever seen in foil

[celestialtoystore]

The touch by Gemesi on Samele was borderline contemptuous. Samele is a great sport to have taken that so well.

Just love a sport where you don't and will never see what happened no matter of the video quality.

3:23 person on the left be like: Your tactics confuse and frighten me sir

[flynnbailey]

Bro the directors reaction to the riposte at 1:46 is priceless lmaooo

[christianalbertjahns]

This is one of many reasons that fencing is the ultimate big brain sport, not just a swordfighting sport.

[mandolindleyroadshow]

The best touches I saw were by Michele Maffei. He had a slow tempo riposte (often a belly cut) that was unique among saber fencers.

[ScoptOriginal]

This is what I love about fencing. Number 2 is my favourite, one I've tried more than once.

[roitester]

Casares hitting the riposte when his opponent tried to do hit "dolphin step" back at him is amazing.

[CyrusofChaos]

Funny how whenever Szilágyi gets hit by one of these he looks like he's trying to find a way to protest the touch

Btw 10 only happened because Kim wasn't ready when the ref called fence but didn't want to stop and risk a card 😂

10/10!! #SEVEN (Szilagyi vs. Apithy) and #ONE are my favorites!! #8 reminded me of: "...foilist." #4 was great, and #3 was great calm and creativity in that tight distance.... was the Female Saberist on the right Cecelia Berder?
Thank you so much! Avid Fencer Fanatic (and obviously saberist). :D

[canoloth]

I like the touch of Apithy vs Szilagyi.

[octaandrade]

This is the kind of video I like to see in my main page. Great work!!

[someingeborg]

I love people who compare Star Wars with fencing
