> > > Actually, you should dodge/parry/block -much- less effectively when fighting two (or more) opponents, as it's harder to watch all of the movements. Also, many attacks that would be "safe" against a lone opponent (aggressive strike following off of a successful defense, etc.) would be suicidal with a second person there to strike you while you were extended. Remember that if they're using weapons, they probably stand an average of 5-8 feet away, so there's plenty of room for two of them to hack at you from different angles. Anything is prompted more by Hollywood than experience in actual fights.
