If the opposing character has a lot of physical strength, he/she can use all that to force your thrust up, above the head. If this happens, pull your sword up with the displacement, keeping the sword close to his/her sword but no longer keeping contact. Make a cut to the head, along his/her sword, so that as it goes up your blade goes down in the opposite direction to fracture the skull. (The hilt is going up with the opponent's sword, so if he/she tries making an attack you can parry the attack.)
*Enemy uses all his strength to displace Sicarius' thrust upward, above the head.*
*Sicarius pulls his sword up with Enemy's sword, keeping his close but no--
--longer keeping contact. Instead Sicarius winds his blade down to strike--
--Enemy's head, parallel to Enemy's sword; while his hilt and Enemy's sword,--
--blade and all, are still rising up.*
If the contestant manages to somehow make a parry, you'll be in a high bind, probably at the strong. I will discuss all the fun you can have from there later.
Now, let's say that the rage strike didn't go as planned, and your strike is displaced. The adversary's strong is at your weak as well. Resisting with all your might, slide your strong to the opponent's weak, and bring the hilt in front of your head while keeping blade contact. Then stab into the face/chest etc. from above. If the hilt doesn't guard the head, defending against an attack from the opponent may prove difficult.
*Enemy displaces Sicarius' strike, his strong pressing against Sicarius' weak.*
*Before Enemy can force the blades down, Sicarius presses with all his might--
--while sliding his strong to Enemy's weak. Pressing Enemy's sword down,--
--Sicarius winds his hilt to cover the face while making a thrust at Enemy's--
--face from above.*
If the contestant tries to counter this by lifting up his/her arms and hilt to try pushing the thrust out of the way, angle the point down, striking between the arms and the chest.
