The way to win the fight is to fight like your life depends on it simple as that be the attacker agressor

Where is he from, geographically? All of these things will affect the way that your hero will fight.

One poked or slashed his foe before he was poked or slashed.

As far as technique: A double handed sword is such because it would be very, very heavy. Such a weapon is more of a pounding, hammer of a tool than as a real edged or thrusting sword. If the combatants are armored, the edge or point does very little. The enemy is beaten down, then, when helpless, choped to pieces.

Psychology? Watch the enemy. Anticipate his moves. Do not be suckered into committing a movement to parry a feint. People died because they had their weight on the wrong foot, anticipating a blow that came from another direction. A two handed sword does not change direction very fast. And, once in motion, is hard to stop.

As often as not, a fight was brought to and end because one fighter tired before the other. Also, no “time outs” or “do-overs” in real combat.
