Though I admit this fictious roman theater game still intruges me. Since this is HVS first fighter I suspect that this will show similiar first time fighter syndrome. Stiff, unresponsive, missed oppertunies, but potential. |
Real Roman gladiatorial games mostly were 1 on 1 and formalized, fought - rarely to death - between professional fighters. There were 4 traditional classes of fighters, opposed in couples (reziari vs secutores, mirmilloni vs traci). And the gladius was a very short sword, mostly used in stabs, not chopping arms off your opponent like in Monty Python's "it's only a flesh wound" scene.
But I understand that you're talking of the hollywoodian battle royales with chariots and tigers and emperors fighting in the arena :) That would look cooler, indeed.
