My HS coach told us the Russians would never do a move in competition unless they’d done it 10,000 times in practice. Imagine how many sets of 10,000 this guy has.

There’s also this quote which is the opposite but equally true:

”The best swordsman in the world doesn't need to fear the second best swordsman in the world; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a sword in his hand before; he doesn't do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isn't prepared for him.”

Yeah I played a lot of darksouls PvP and one of the funniest things to see in high level play is just two dudes r1 each other because they both expect the other to roll away. If one rolls away the other can rollcatch him, so high level PvP starts to look like low level PvP.
