How cool is that swordfight? The animations are supreme, the moves, the pace, the feeling. I really love that pirate feeling here. Great captioned Telltale. Maybe the best sword fight in the whole Saga!!!

    Relating to that, it seems Telltale have done their homework, rather then using an insult from Secret, they've stuck with the rule that Insult Swordfighting on Sea has to rhyme so they went with an insult from Curse. :) Nice bits of continuity like that are amazing to see/hear in a Monkey Island game after what Escape did to the series.

    Yeah, you can tell this game is made by people who know Monkey Island. I'd hate it if Monkey Island 5 was made by Activision or someone and we were bombarded with Monkey Kombat and Planet Threepwood throwbacks instead.

    -Guybrush 1vs1 battle really made me wish on an epic, let's say, 5 on 5 puzzle swordfight. I like this kind of fighting a lot better than any kind of insult swordfighting (which was very cool at some point, yeah). Reminds me kind of about my favorite moment in old Quest for Glory I game, in the brigands dining room where you had to use the environment to defeat overwhelming odds.

    Yeah that was much better than insult swordfighting but it was still swordfighting.
