Tell me one thing, in the swordplay game the sword tracks our movements like is is centered around a point like in Tiger Woods Frisbee mode or is really free to move everywhere?

It tracks your movements really well along 3 axis. You have to angle it in the right direction to block an attack. And you can angle it forward or back too though I dont think this has any particular effect. it just looks cool.


I think you didn't understand what I intended to ask.

 Does the sword in WSR moves like the one in this app at 2:17 where you can rise the wield of the sword, move from left to right and down  or is it centered like you just can wave the blade around and the wield of the sword is always near the mii?

I got you. The sword is stuck in the center of the screen regardless of how you move the Wiimote.

 

 


And it begins again... First it was the waiting for a 1:1 sword game since the Wii's launch, now that one is available, is the waiting for a 1:1 sword game that doesn't have the sword centered and we can move it freely...

 

Oh lord give me strength.

Sorry dude I had to double check. To reiterate the sword is centered in the middle of the screen. But you are given a little range. Your Mii will extend their arms in the direction you move the Wiimote. So he will wield the sword above his head if you move the Wiimote up. This of course opens up your Mii to a mid body attack, but will at the same time allow you to strike from above quickly.

 

To explain it a little further the Sword Sports mechanic is all about blocking. Wherever your sword is it will automatically block depending on where it is and how it is angled. So if you hold it horizontally above your head it will block downward strikes. By holding the B button though it does a fixed block that is easy to angle quickly.

When you attack with the sword the direction in which you swing the Wiimote will be simulated on screen. If your opponent blocks the strike you character is flung back and exposed for a counter attack.

 

This sport is fast paced and you swing the mote all over the place ultimately trying to knock your opponent out of the ring. However if you are careless with your swings you will be flung back so you cant mash attacks. Its another good sport.
