While Albert's a little slower on his feet, he does track Nasir well and the pole of his own spear comes up to block the swipe at his neck, the German rocking on his feet at the impact. He should have dodged, ducked under the blow and utilizing the opening it gave however slight, but he hadn't had the time awkward as his stance is.

Still, he knows his advantage against Nasir is his weight and he decides to use it, pushing the locked poles towards the other man in an effort to knock him off balance and aim a blunt strike just under the ribs with the butt of his spear.

Of course he's not used to such a long weapon either and in trying to flip the blunt end up he overcompensates and snags his own leg on the head, not doing much more than leaving a shallow scrape but it's embarrassing and amateurish all the same.
