Individual Epée

Fencing (or Individual Epée) is a real-life olympic event in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and the only one in the "Fencing" category. The game is played by jabbing the opponent with an epée. The first player to reach 15 points wins the round. There are two rounds each game; the preliminary rounds and the final rounds. There is also a bonus round for the players who lost the preliminary's. It has a Dream version, called Dream Fencing, where Special Attacks can be used.

Controls
Fencing uses the Wii Remote and Nunchuk together, or the Wii Remote by itself. The only different between the two control types, is the movement controls. In order to damage an opponent, the player has to jab his/her opponent by thrusting the epée forward. This is done by thrusting the Wii Remote forward, swiftly. However, these attacks can be blocked by parrying, which causes the player to swing his/her epée in front of his/her body, deflecting any attack attempts. This also leaves the blocked player stunned for a short while, which can be countered by shaking the Remote and Nunchuk alternatly (or simply the Wii Remote, if it is used by itself). Parrying is done by holding the A button while moving the Wii Remote downwards, but it leaves the player open to attack if it misses. However, there is a way to avoid a parry; feinting. Feinting is done by pressing the B button, but excessive use will not work, as there is a short pause after use. When using the Nunchuk, the player moves with the Control Stick. Pressing it twice in one direction will allow the player to run in that direction. When only using the Remote, the controls are exactly the same, but instead, the control pad on the Remote is used.

Description
