A whole lot of hidden blade counters edited together, basically.

The title is of course a reference to Stabguy's classical "12 Ways to Wield the Hidden Blade":

I'm gad you liked it!

The idea is that you don't have to just wait in one place for an incoming attack when fighting with the hidden blade, but you can make it a dynamic and eventful fight by mixing in counter dodge, grab and throw, taunt, wall jumps, exiting fight and entering fight.

Also, the counters discourage the guards from attacking, but a grab and throw seems to restore their eagerness.
