Swordplay: Duel
- Players 1, 2-Players Simultaneous (requires 2 Controllers)
- Objective First to knock the opponent two our of three times wins.
In Duel, you have to knock your opponent off the platform using only your sword. It controls almost exactly as you would expect; swing the controller around and the sword does the same thing on-screen. However, you can also block by holding the "B-Trigger," which is crucial against decent opponents. When blocking, simply tilt the controller to change your defensive stance.
Tips
- Blocking is important! Whenever you block an opponent's attacks, they'll left vulnerable for one or two attacks. Although they can still block your advances, they cannot attack while they're flailing.
- To properly block an attack, hold "B" then move your sword so it 'crosses' your opponent's (forming an "X")--as long you keep your sword crossing theirs, you'll block their attack.
- Faster attacks will knock your opponent back further, so don't hold back!
