I didn't make it myself, but I did download it: here (http://www.leonpaul.com/download/games.htm). It's pretty good, when playing with another player, but the AI stinks. I fence often, and the game is pretty good I think. It's entirely Epee, and winning the arcade unlocks the U.S. for play. The controls are just move, parry, and attack, and combinations bring things like lunges. Press esc. during play to see your special moves.
Here's a list:
"Legdestroyer" = feignt, or an attack of multiple intentions.
"Slice" = disengage.
"Stabrush" = what looks like a disengage with and iverse advance.
"Windcutter" = glide, though it looks more like a saber-thrust to me.
"Sweepstatp" = coupe/cutover.
"Lunge" = lunge.
"Fleche" = fleche.
So what do you think of the game? Do you fence (http://smilies.vidahost.com/otn/violent/sword2.gif) in RL? My favorite weapon is the epee by a long shot. I hate off-targets, right-of-way, and cora-coras.
P.S. Sorry game is spelled "gam", it was a typing error.

Jumping, kneeling, running into the other guy with my sword back and hoping he dosent hit me

Well, you probably don't fence on the line. If you want cool moves, you should learn them. There's a lot of them out there.

way to easy basically let them hit the first shot then deflect his blade and stab him game over

You won't believe what I thought you meant by fencing at first. In fact, I'm not even sure I believe it.

There's another one on the Leon Paul website.
I'll see if I can dig it up.
*Edit*: Can't find it anymore. They must have changed it to just that one.
Its pretty piss easy.
Step back, attack fails, you counter.

As a game yeah ... another example of how realism does not always translate into a good GAME.
Though the game isn't all that realistic if that's what happens - you can't beat everyone in fencing simply by counterattacking, they're most likely quick enough to respond or parry or something. Fencing just isn't that simple.

I fence(terribly), and the game wasn't to bad. I sabre fence, so I believe that sabre is the weapons of the gods. And if Fleckenstein sees this thread, he'll probably agree with me.

Meh sabre. I'm more of a rapier/katana fan.
