Twig Duel
Ink-and-paper fencers, one blade each. Hold a high or low guard and lunge at the height your rival is not guarding. A parry leaves them wide open for a riposte. Beat the Twig Masters one bout at a time.

Maker’s note
Best of 5 (first to 3 hits) against a CPU master who reads faster and attacks more often every bout. Hits pay 30, a parry 40, a riposte into a staggered rival 100, and each bout won pays 200 plus 100 per bout (flawless +150). The first lost bout ends the run. Solo ranked mode only; the local 2-player mode is not included because replays record one player.
