I traveled to Half Moon Bay for this years Best of the Best tournament. Last year I had a strategy of matching my opponent’s style, i.e. if they were fighting with a two handed weapon, I did too (bastard sword), or if they fought with two weapons, I did (sword + dagger), or they fought one handed so did I. It worked okay, but I had a really poor overall win/loss ratio. This year I decided to just stick to my original, primary style, two handed bastard (aka hand and a half) sword. I’ll edit once I have stats, but I believe I did better than last year, at least.
