Okay, it looks to me that he attacked me twice, I parried the second blow... then he parried me somehow. And hit my gut. Which is weird, because as far as I know, Blademasters can only retaliate back to the arms, AND I don't know exactly what he's parrying... can somebody explain this to me?

No

It was a haymaker, if you parry one of the blows, the rest of the blows slide down your weapon into you, instead of just normally hitting you, nothing buggy.

Thorgal, that doesn't make sense to me.

What it looks like is that Terenas was parried and then parried the parry. Ping pong parry, anyone? Looks like a weird sort of combat strike, and I'd call it a bug only because of the second riposte by Terenas.

If that -isn't- a bug, I would be interested to see how far it can go. Back and forth and back and forth and again..

...no, it wasn't a pingpong parry, Terenas landed the 4 hits of the haymaker, if one of the hits of the haymaker gets parried, the next haymaker hits have a different message...that's how the code works. Terenas didn't parry Alkriz' coule, he just continued finishing his haymaker.

Haymaker start:

Terenas lands first blow...

Terenas lands second blow...

Alkriz parries second blow...

Terenas lands third blow, the message changed...

Terenas lands last blow, message still different...

Haymaker finished.

Ah, thanks Thorgal.

...although, I noticed that coule's usually deal less damage than a normal slash... may just be me and my craziness though.

So... I wonder if Terenas is actually dealing full damage here. -twiddle-

Coule deals only 15-25% of the damage of a normal slash. And yes, Terenas was dealing full damage.
