StarDragon ONLINE (01/12/2016) [-] Seriously though, if the guy with the knife actually wanted to fight, the guy with the sword would be at a disadvantage. The close distance and the very narrow space between rows very severely limits the sword's options, while the same leaves the sword guy in range of just about everything a knife can do.
On the other side of the coin, that sword looks like it might be one of a common brand of a practice sword. If that's true, and its not for show, the guy with the knife was screwed anyway.

lapsushominum (01/12/2016) [-] There's a lot of psychological factors at play, and the thing is the robber probably actually doesn't want to fight. Most robbers don't want to kill because they're desperate enough to rob for money but they're morally opposed or at least they worry if they're caught there's going to be a much larger punishment.
Psychologically in the victim, I can't speak for everyone, but they don't experience these emotions because they feel justified in retaliating to someone who threatened them, so they're willing to fight when they robber might not be.

However, most robbers will back the hell off the moment they see a retaliation. They're never prepared for resistance and they thought it would be easy.
