This idea is based loosely based off of the show and expands on it

Also this Project is trying to experiment with industry norms

for example knockback in VR it has been done in games such as rumble VR but it hasn't been main stream


Mechanics that display skill expression

Parrying, Faints, Spell casting and Sword usage


Parrying will be a mechanic will be interesting, The simplest to explain about Parrying is it's interactions with projectiles. so the way it works sword has a "trail" that would add the speed of the sword to the arrow to imply the effect of deflecting project to the left or right (also depending on the type and mass of the projectile it could be de Parried back to the sender)

Also it is crucial that you pick what part of the sword hits the projectile


if you hit the projectile with the base of the sword it will not have that much speed because it is really close to the point of rotation but on the other hand if you hit the projectile with the tip of the sword then it will have a lot of speed because it very far from the point of rotation but it will not have 'that' much power it would be rather weak and would falter to projectiles with more mass and speed.
