I found this in a gif originally and gifs tend to get more thumbs than videos in most cases. My internet was also ******* up when I posted this, so I wasn't going to go searching for the source when I could barely upload this. It took about 20 mins, with it freezing twice on me

Found the source for you though.

This was a neat scene, but the idea that Arya could parry some of the strikes was ludicrous.

But she's moving with the parry. Its not a force parry where she's forcing the sword away but rather redirecting it, its what most smaller people who don't have the same or greater strength than their opponent.

Regardless, the weight difference is too large and the fact that an experienced swordman like Brienne would swing her two handed sword so close to the hilt against someone with a huge reach disadvantage was laughable.

Im afraid I don't understand you at all. I mean sure they're fighting so close but thats because arya is trying to be that close, fighting to her strength, etc. Would you be able to rephrase at all?

Rephrase? Why? You said it yourself. Arya is trying to fight close because her complete disadvantage in all regards. Her reach, power, experience. All 3 aspects Brienne completely dominates over her and you claim Arya is smart and keeping herself close, then the question is how does a well seasoned knight not know how to play to her own strenghts.
This whole duel is retarded.

Would i be wrong in saying that arya's fighting style would be geared towards bigger heavy opponents with bigger swords? Her teacher in the first season managed to take those armored guys down with a wooden sword EZ.

Bruh at this point Arya is literally a supernatural servant of the grim ******* reaper and you're gonna talk about experience and ****?

She isn't even human anymore. Giving up your humanity is part of becoming a Faceless Man.

Nah, at 0:09 - 0:10 those two parries would have failed. From someone with swordsmanship experience, that is simply not how it would have worked. She needed much more body movement to avoid during the parry since the parry was a partial redirect at best. That said, they may still be a bit sloppy here as this was not the final shoot (I am assuming).

IMO it's more a problem of choreography, and so that they don't actually bash children's skulls in - GoT choreography in general still panders to rule of cool, but isn't upright offensive in doing so.

Realtalk, from one sword autist to another, fighting a child several feet shorter than you that's actually competent would be awkward as **** - they'd always be underneath your guard and most standard guards and cuts wouldn't even work.

Good point, I count at least two strikes where she has zero leverage and would've had hold the entire force with just her wrist.
Also, not pulling out the dagger earlier is odd...
Not that I'm an expert at sword-fighting...

Indeed, and it's even more true considering that water dancing is way more about dodging/deflecting and not parrying.

Problem with choreographing fights is, it makes it look more like dance than combat

I mean, the big bitch could have easily kicked the **** out of the other one then basically mauled them to death, but I guess whatever

Can't really get a realistic fight unless you're in actual danger, so I guess you gotta do what you gotta do

The biggest catch is that they obviously aim slightly off the opponent/on their weapon.

I mean, it looks cool, before you realize that they ARE just dancing.

Talls sword would cut through her's and right into her head.
Theres no way that little chick could produce enough counter force to block it even if her sword didn't get cut/bent through.

I'm sorry, did you just imply a sword could cut THROUGH another sword?

Cutting through a rapier with another sword possible

Because there's evidence of the contrary.

Fight scene was a little dumb imo, but hell no could someone just cut through an opponent's blade like in some weaboo ******** action movie.
