Footwork for following after

According to Ringeck:
 Another following-after.
When he cuts against you from above and he continues downwards towards the ground with his sword, follow after him with an Oberhau to the head, before he comes up with the sword. ...
You need to control distance so that your opponent misses their cut, but then return in time to perform your own cut. This might require you to switch your stance from a left lead to a right lead as you cut. Here is some footwork to help you do that.
Good fencing!
