I agree with rembar. If you want to fight, there is a place for that, but it's not on hard ice with big sticks and sharp blades on your feet. Go mma or just play the friggin game.

Found it, it died. Upvote.

It's just choreographed...think of it as a dance. A ballet almost.

Of course it isn't real fighting. If you're really fighting you wouldn't be jumping around like that. Just whack the guy a few times with the spear as a big stick (make sure it's not flimsy either like the one here, but a solid hunk of hickory). He'll block it or try to a few times, but after his forearms and elbows are broken, it's easy to come in to whack him on the head a few times, then when he's passed out, a quick stab with the spear should finish him off.

EDIT: Wow, after reading what I wrote I realize that I sound like a total psychopath. Sorry....

dupe.

"Speak softly and carry a big stick". We'll see how large her stick is after some time. Actions, do, of course, speak louder than words.

May look complicated but if any of you all own some lego mindstorms NXT you know its actually quite a simple design. My mace swinging bot, now there is a bad ass lego bot (By mace I mean a lego tire on the end of a big stick mounted on a control motor, works great when you battle them)

I respect your opinion, chrismear. And its true that he can be at times distractingly expressive with the rest of his body. However, this is Horowitz 'show-off' transcription of Franz Liszt's already virtuoso-level piece... a work that practically beats you over the head with its incredibly massive, exaggerated mood changes. Lang Lang was a technical perfectionist at age 15, and now the only direction for him to go is the direction that he feels the music speak.

When I saw him, he played a number of more subtle, less flashy pieces, but was sure to include pieces that the crowd knew and pieces like this that were full of virtuoso flourish. If you get the chance to see him, you have to have a pretty big stick up your ass not to enjoy yourself.

That said, one member of my group when I saw Lang Lang was a visiting scholar of Debussy, and he wondered when he'll stop exploring his own ideas enough to play Debussy and Rachmoninov like everyone else...
