This occurs not only with the capture unit (8x19) which he uses as a stabbing implement, but also with the knife that Ɛ-Texas herself brought to the fight (8x20).
In addition to the above (and jumping on the Meta’s back to protect Doc and Church), Wash shows himself to be proficient with a knife. Of course this isn’t the only thing Wash does in this fight, or against the Meta. Granted this is not the best tactic against a robot, but against a human opponent it could prove effective if Wash’s stamina is sufficient to maintain such an assault. In this way it doesn’t matter if all of Wash’s attacks are effective provided he can keep going to wear down the stamina of his enemy. Blow after blow after blow to keep the opponent on defense. Clearly the goal here is not necessarily to overwhelm Texas with strong attacks, but to keep the attacks coming. The next few movements Wash makes are punches and kicks that flow so perfectly together in a chain that I can’t help but look at his motions as the execution of a kata, each advancing step bringing him into the next step of the rehearsed and perfected form. In this position Wash goes after Ɛ-Texas in melee, jumping at her with a flying knee, landing and blocking a blow from Texas. After the Meta begins to fight with the capture unit and chunks of the cliff is falling around the fighting trio, Wash is left at an awkward range considering the fact that he has no gun and no knife. Let’s talk about that idea of Wash being a ‘war of attrition.’ This is mainly based on how Wash performs against Ɛ-Texas (8x19). Yet the ones we do have are quite telling. Thus, despite the many battles Wash is present for, we have very few instances of punches thrown. Even in the battles he does get into CQC exchanges in he still goes for his gun when the range is suited to it. When faced with the Texbot battle (10x21) Wash shoots rather than otherwise engage the enemy. After jumping off of the building he shoots at the Hornet despite the fact that he is falling with no obvious immediate relief.

When Sharkface shows up during the assault on the presumably Charon-owned facility (9x15), Wash sticks to only guns, including one he doesn’t know how to operate or that its projectiles bounced. There are few situations where we don’t see Wash defaulting to guns to be honest. This has not changed with the battle season twelve gave us, but we have learned that Washington is as good at managing an enemy combatant using a knife against him as he is at throwing knives, and that he’s not prepared for non-traditional combat styles such as Felix’s. When physical fights are forced upon him, though, Washington turns into the battle of attrition, chaining together blow after blow. My previous discussion of Wash in a fight was pointing out that he prefers to keep enemies at the effective range of his firearms, which we know he is deadly with (ask the Hornet he shoots while falling through the air on top of the Sarcophagus in 9x15). The episodes/fights I have drawn my data from and based my conclusions on for Washington are as follows: 8x19 (Washington and the Meta versus Ɛ-Texas), 8x20 (Washington with the Reds and Tucker versus the Meta), and 12x18 (Washington and Carolina versus Felix and Locus). In the course of this post I’ll be talking about the following individuals in the following order:

All of the posts in this series will be taggedĪs ‘RvB Combat Styles Analysis’ now and in the future. SubsequentĮditions may come out that revise these descriptions or enhance them,Īnd will be linked to in revised versions of this post, as well as any Animated Combat Styles in RvBĪs interpreted by ChurbooseAnon, and involving materials from SeasonĮight Episode Four through Season Thirteen Episode One. Spent a long time gathering the data and working on conclusions. So, while I’m not a martial arts expert (nor do I play one on TV), I I like to watch them, and dear me do I like to pick them apart. If you’ve been following me for a while then you definitely know one Animated Combat Styles in RvB (Surviving Freelancers: First Edition)
