Very interesting videos, which raise some questions in my mind.

First, the plate armor, though it doesn't seem to restrict movement to a great extent, probably would limit vision. Would this make it harder to counter some of the lower-body attacks, such as leg hooks or trips as seen with the polearm?

Second, there's one example of the Messer used to literally disarm an attacker while parrying. Would this just be a Wait -> Stop Hit? Or perhaps a new technique, "Armed Aggressive Parry" or something?
