For my last gifs of 2017, a handy little quote concerning the Vor and the Nach found on Wylde Theories:

“If you are the first to make an attack that they are forced to parry, that is the Vor. And any counter you make against their action is the Nach. That's it. And Indes is just that moment where you transition from making a parry or counter, to making an attack again”.

Happy new year everyone
