A typical battle in En Garde! might see you quickly poke down one weak foe, take guy number two temporarily out the fight by tossing a bucket onto his head, then defeat three and four in a duel of dodges, parries, and counter-attacks, and just as the bucketman gets it off his head, you kick him off a ledge.
