All my doubts about the fist fighting system have been abolished :D

I feared the slow-ineffective fist fighting system in previous AC games was going to return in AC3 but the video proved me wrong :)

The new fist fighting system in AC3 is dynamic, fast paced and has advantages over other weapons. And for the first time fists aren't the last choice in our weapon arsenal :)
