It was badass, but it was obviously impractical. Arya is 5'0 and 90lbs on a good day, and is wielding basically Baby's First Rapier. Brienne is like 6'0 and has a giant broadsword. To their credit, I did recall a few shots of Arya basically glancing her sword off of Brienne's simply to close the gap (I'll have to re-watch), but there were a few where she straight-up block Brienne full-on, which is quite impossible. I'm cool with Arya defeating Brienne, but the way it was done wasn't full convincing. I'm not going to have a melt down over it, though.

You don't need to use a large sword to parry one if the angles are in your favor. It's exactly Arya's small size that basically allows her to flip Brienne's giant blade aside and bounce right off of it to close the gap. Arya is trained as an assassin. Why attack a tank with another tank when running up on it and tossing a grenade in the hatch is just as effective?

If this were Soul Calibur, Ayra would be Talim whereas Brienne would be Knightmare. If this were Smash, Ayra would be like Link or ZSS and an opponent like Brienne would be Ganondorf. Brienne is a bruiser, whereas Ayra is a finesse Scrappy who's only goal is to get inside your guard to put Needle thru your neck or eye socket.
