@WillLi You caught that little glitch too? I fenced mostly foil, but when I did a couple of matches with epee, I ended them with some spectacular bruises. That blade is really stiff like a steel rod, but I totally enjoyed having so much force to apply against an opponent's blade.
@Markgraf yeah I'm wondering if the Author/Artist actaully looked into the difference fencing blades, or just learned there are different ones and that Epee was the most popular so they said everyone did that (despite all the matches they watched were foil)
The bellguards are of epees and I guess they all use french grips for whatever reason. Supposed expert aiming for nationals fencer can't even lunge with her back straight though, come on dude.
