Yet, much like when he killed Khrazz, I think he uses this to his advantage by baiting Gregor into focusing on his head, while patiently waiting for his opening to counter.

Aw man. Great point about Selmy's no-helmet tactic. He's going to be a lot faster than Gregor as well.

Barristan

Gregors helmet also has a very narrow eye-slit, which is going to severely impact his peripheral vision. He'll miss wildly at some point in this encounter, which will carry his head too far off centre, and Barristan finishes him from the blind side.
