Unblockable Scimitars

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes the scimitar animation seems wrong: what I assume is a left-right swing is at a very high angle and the usual lateral block fails against it, as if it's an overhead. Or is it an  overhead that looks like a left-right lateral swing? I was duelling a scimitar user earlier and couldn't ever block this attack and watching other duels it seemed other fighters had the same trouble.

Just study the way the animation looks. Buy one yourself and go to the duel server, use the ~ key to change the angle and see how it would look from your point of view to see if that helps. Anything is blockable!

Either it's a lateral or an overhead. This attack sometimes seems to fall between the two and not have a corresponding block.

Edit - it also seems to happen with nomad sabres: Nomads on the DTV servers are also hard to block.
