>You force her blade downward despite her resistance. She, however, seems more focused on finding her footing once more.

> If we thrust our sword straight forward in the direction it is currently pointing, would it actually stab her? Or would it whiff to her left?

> Use our pressure pushing her sword down and to the left and her lack of footing to swing ourselves around her to her left (our right) side. Keep pressing on her sword throughout this, though the direction our blade is pointing may change.

> If she pulled her sword to the side, that means she'll need a fraction of a second to get it back into parrying position. Hopefully that'll be enough!
> Stab forward at her with our sword.

>You thrust your blade at her, and find that not only was she turning sideways, she was also stepping away from you. Still, you force her onto the defensive as she has to bring her weapon around to deflect yours.

> Do another centripetal force slice to feint another slashat her left knee, but when our sword is just about to reach the point where she managed to block our slice last time (before it got to the knee), sharply change the blade's direction upward and a bit angles to the left so the slice is suddenly aimed toward her armpit/shoulder instead.

>Possibly. She may have some trouble defending her right knee, but you would need to close the distance swiftly and strike with equal speed. This may be a problem if she's anticipating you to close in.
