Facing other humans with swords in a digital unverse where steel actually acts like steel? I can't wait for someone to make that.


I've thought of that myself. I've also been wondering why certain things that have been under debate (the only issue that comes to mind is how much force it really takes to make disabling cuts to the hands and forearms) haven't been described with computer simulations for testing. Common sparring scenarios could be scripted and then the results watched.
