The chaos and unpredictability of a melee with broadswords, in which attacks can and do come in from any direction.

Nice!

Gotz to love da Melee! :D

The 2nd most exhausting tournament I ever fought in was seven Grand Melee's in a row with 20-25 other guy's where the winner was determined by the last man standing and we couldn't fight the same weapon form 2 rounds in a row.

Keep at It!

Ooh, I like the idea of each round of a tournament being composed of a different weapon/combination. Much like historical prize playing in that regard...
