Itβs over, I have the high ground!
honestly... being able to brace against the step (something easy for the lower guy, hard for the higher guy when keeping the lance pointed at your enemy) - I'd probably give this one to the lower. he also has an easier time getting below his enemy's lance to get a hit to the chest that rides up into the gorget and helmet.
What are you talking about. the upper can brace against a backward force because it has steps behind him. The lower cant. Plus the lower has to lift their lance upward while the upper needs to lift it less. The high ground has a clear advantage here.
and when you aim it down, to get the brace from the step above and behind you, where does the tip end up?
in the same lane you're standing in. if you want to aim over and across the separator and have it braced against a step, you'd have to be on the bottom.
come on, figure it out.
You underestimate my plower!
I want the high ground next time.
Then it should be on a moving sidewalk then to even the playing field .... and increase the speed of the sidewalk to 50km/h
nonono, line the upwards escalator with mattresses behind that combatant, and I guess hit the e-stop the moment one falls. Which gets the honor of potentially tumbling like a clown for a moment can be decided with a coin toss or rock-paper-scissors.
Wellβ¦ that escalated slowly. π¨π»βπ¦°

Dad joke quality approved. π
It would be better if they were riding ostriches.
Most activities would.
It is over he has the high ground
No, you're all completely misunderstanding the picture. Those were just laser pointers back in the day, as you can see /s π
