** In the SNES version, sword-fighting is a simple minigame where you block, attack, block, attack, block, attack until either you or your opponent messes the timing up. Easier enemies mess up sooner than harder ones. However, the game assumes that you are going to attack as soon as you block, and then block again (if you don't block as soon as you attack, you get hit). BUT, if you wait a split second after blocking and ''then'' attack, you will hit the enemy every single time. This works on the very first guard, the captain, Jaffar, and every other swordfighting enemy in-between. Could also be used as a speedrunning tactic, as blocking, waiting a second and hitting them is much faster than clanging swords with them for 15-20 seconds per hit. This same trick works on the original as well. In fact, this is required to actually beat Jaffar in this version, because when he starts swordfighting, he NEVER MESSES UP THE COUNTERATTACK CHAIN. You HAVE to delay your strike back by the right amount of time, or you will NEVER hit him.

Woe betide you if you have been speeding through the game by not collecting the life extension potions, figuring your parry skill will carry you through the game.
*** And after that, Jaffar will seriously test your knowledge of the combat system. If you haven't figured out the delayed strike trick above, you will NEVER beat him.

* GoodBadBugs: In the SNES version, sword-fighting is a simple minigame where you block, attack, block, attack, block, attack until either you or your opponent messes the timing up. Easier enemies mess up sooner than harder ones. However, the game assumes that you are going to attack as soon as you block, and then block again (if you don't block as soon as you attack, you get hit). BUT, if you wait a split second after blocking and ''then'' attack, you will hit the enemy every single time. This works on the very first guard, the captain, Jaffar, and every other swordfighting enemy in-between. Could also be used as a speedrunning tactic, as blocking, waiting a second and hitting them is much faster than clanging swords with them for 15-20 seconds per hit.
