Hey everyone, I revamped the TACMA (Total Arm Control Melee Arena) concept quite a bit from a few months ago. I made the arm and sword control fully bounded by physics, so a player must deal with things like inertia and momentum. Damage of a strike is still based on the velocity of the sword. I also added the ability to extend your arm at the elbow as planned.

I scrapped shields for right now to focus fully on refining the sword combat. Now parrying is also bounded by physics. If a persons arm is fully extended it is weaker and thus most vulnerable to a parry. Leaving your arm extended makes the sword feel heavier and heavier over time to encourage realistic strikes rather than just wagging your sword like a deathwand that kills whoever it touches.

The new controls are listed below - suggestions highly appreciated!
