This page is adapted from István Lukovich's
Electric Foil Fencing: Advanced Competitive training. Here Lukovich
illustrates the ripostes possible after parrying an attack to the
high outside line. He gives just as much attention to righty vs.
lefty matchups! 
Simple Ripostes -- to the upper
target
a. Rarely is
this a simple straight thrust, because the riposte generally meets
the opponent's blade and the action finishes as a glide.thrust (Fig.
64, above)
b. With
a coupé (cutover) -- not
illustrated
c. With an
angular thrust to the base of the neck (Fig. 65, above) [Editor's
Note:Many contemporary fencers use the flick ("thrown thrust")
rather than the pronated position illustrated.]
Simple Ripostes -- to the lower
target
a. Straight
thrust with flèche (Fig. 66, above)
b. Angular
thrust with lunge to the low inside (Fig. 67,
below)
.
c. Angular thrust
with lunge to the low outside (Fig. 68,
below)
d.. With
copertino; [Editor's note -- see Glossary: a transfer to seventh and
glide thrust to the low outside line (Fig. 69,
below)
