Seen the fight proper so many times and yet the flip, which is in the show, never really registered. Maybe partly because it's shown as a close up.

That's fantastic!
Still not convinced Arya would beat someone as big as Brienne in actual combat though, her fighting style is more for a quick sneak attack rather than a straight up duel.
If her opponent took her lightly she absolutely would. Just like in the practice duel. Also, Brienne only does as well as she does because she is willing to accept reality and adapt accordingly. Most other people Arya would go up against would likely be men, smaller ones at that, and initially they'd be loathed to go after her with everything they had (y'know, because
She's just a female), and by the time they realised she's a tougher prospect than they realised it may already be too late. If she hadn't offed 'em before then.
