One thing that's important to note is that while the katana animations are better it also looks worse when you're quickly swapping between melee and your weapons as it looks like you have a 3rd arm.
It looks like you're ONI fr.
Thats not my arm...
@@LegendAnthony 😂😂
No it does not, the katana pops out first because its to show that the katana is sheathed and attached to your waist which is how its normally meant to be
@@ultrakiritsugu but its not attached your character basically teleportes it in
In terms of the pull-out animation, which is probably what you'll see most of the time, the RGX is better.
There is literally no pull-out animation for oni katana which makes it completly trash to me. But the sounds, vfx and the way it looks is great.
@@justoneofmany2296 to me it’s goated since when you use yoru ultimate the mask turns to an oni mask
@@psycopompo_o1805 thats sick thanks for the info
Oni katana is better imo. I’ve had rgx for a while
@@psycopompo_o1805 thats good for yoru mains but if you dont use yoru thats pretty much worthless
as someone who enjoys editing their own montages, the rgx blade looks sooo much easier to mask and add effects to like ladiff does.. cuz that is primarily done on equip animations, while the katana has an extremely underwhelming equip animation
I like both very much, but I thought that cool take out of the blade and reflection of the oni mask would be when u take out the knife ready to fight and not just the inspection
that's gonna be a clarity issue, especially since it takes a while to finish the pulling out animation, you won't be able to see what's in front of you for quite a bit
@@shroudedinshout dont inspect knife when someone can peek u
@@Kalousekk did you read the original comment? dude wants this current inspect animation to be the pull out animation lmao
fr
Don't pull out pls
If you're a Yoru main, the ONI katana will be much cooler because it gives you an easter egg in the ult animation.
I love how rgx blade being held while running so I can see the blade all the time, I wish the katana is the same
Yoru's ult mask changes when you have Oni Katana. (from def blue mask, to red Oni variant)
thats cool thanks for the info
@@DrippLovesPizza he meant the reflection on the blade not a skin if that what you were think
@@AzazelLove80085 no he meant yoru's mask when u pull out his ult
@@tozatorgojo i won't change that
@@AzazelLove80085 it does look at red's video, the mask yoru equips is the default red oni mask when you have the katana equipped.
One thing I have to mention here is that the RGX blade does not have any additional swing effects, different from the RGX butterfly, which im kinda dissapointed in as its owner, but overall I think both skins are very cool and unique, and beautiful to use.
well it's the first rgx bundle and also the first katana to be in game, so we can't really blame riot for that
I'd say that rgx blade is more stylish. But oni katana just feels so good to use, it doesn't distract you mid fight with animations and takes less space from screen when sheathed
When you have the oni katana equipped, the mask for yoru's ult changes as well. which is the first skin to change the character model 🤷♂
They should've also changed color of the mask to match variants
@@bekdev564 lol people are never satisfied with anything
@@tanmaypathrabe9579 I mean, they already put this much work, why not put a little more effort and change the colors as well
@@tanmaypathrabe9579 thats how democracy runs my man
@@tanmaypathrabe9579 no, they have a point. default oni ugly af imo but the variants are what saves it
i would have really liked if they added a option where the katana could be held unsheathed just like the rgx blade, that way the people who dislike the pull out animation would be satisfied
It would have been cool if we could have an option to have the oni katana without saya when we want
Like the RGX one as we are also paying extra VP.
The only problem I have with Oni katana is that it is supposed to be right handed , all samurai were trained that way there is no left handed samurai and in valorant when your main hand is right the katana looks a bit odd in that place . I know melee are supposed to take the part of your screen where your gun is but just make it right handed for the history and culture it has
theres an option where you can actually put the katana in the right side of the screen
@@kohiii7868 I know I can change my main hand but then my gun also changes sides which I don't want
There were actually left handed samurai as rare as they may be
Thought abt that too, but I suppose it won't be changed anymore.
@@azoree9299 left handed samurai are also trained to be right handed tho
I've always thought the RGX looked and felt like it was made out of plastic... not the biggest fan of that one
This
Instead of the 5350 on the Oni I'd rather get the VCT knife cuz I love the xenohunter animations for 5440 ngl
nah new anims for slightly cheaper > old anims that u can just get on a 3550 knife thats in rotation regularly
@@germytv he also like the look of vct knife ig
I'm sorry, but I think that the rgx Blade is better in all variants, but it seems to me that both are unbalanced in terms of price (my opinion) btw Nice video's i line your content
It proves that . everyone have different tastes/opinions!
Vct knife vs oni katana?
@@metallixytlive7273 oni katana, if you spending that much, just for the looks.
@@metallixytlive7273 go for vct. Won't go out again. Oni katana will be back out in store
@@metallixytlive7273 bought both..no regret
I have the rgx blade and honestly I’m not sure if I’m gonna buy the oni or not, I love how the rgx is always on your screen unlike oni katana
The day Oni 2.0 was released RGX Blade was on my store, but I still bought the RGX without hesitation, both cool but i preferred RGX knife even the Balisong one
This happening to me now
@@goktugisaoglu go buy what do you think you like more, you don't have to follow my opinion it's all preference of each other 🔥
we also bought rgx blade while the katana was on the store at that moment
Fun fact: If u have the Oni katana equipped when playing yoru there is a special interaction with his ult
If you only like swords then rgx would probably be better, but if you really like the art of katanas then the oni katana would be better.
Another big downside to the Katana is that the pull-out is not as satisfyting as the RGX. Still, Oni Katana is the winner in terms of attack animations, design, inspect, sfx and vfx
no its not
The RGX blade was my favorite blade since I started playing Valorant, somewhere in August 2022 (recently if you ask me) and I got it in my shop like a moth ago, bought it, and I still like it. When I saw the Katana, I liked it, but not as much as I like the RGX blade. This is just my opinion, of course, some people like the katana more, other like the RGX blade more.
The pullout animation, the color change when inspecting, whe way you hold the blade is just way better in my opinion. The katana is just way bigger and covers more of the screen than the RGX blade.
i cant even buy both im broke asf 🙃
I agree
People acting like you'll never see the oni blade but you always have the pre rounds and can always left or right click
IMO Oni katana is better except for pullout animation, which is worse than default knife (you literally just grab it). For this reason I am not buying it. Not to mention the price, if we keep buying these jacked up prices, Riot is going to keep raising it. Don't feed the beast.
They were probably confident putting this price, because vct knife sales might have been very good
i used to like rgx blade more than oni katana but now i realize how perfect is the oni katana if it mixed with my playstyle and thus ill root for oni katana as a winner
It's so scummy that they make the price of this knife cosmetic the same price as a better game
"a better game" is subjective, besides, it's not scummy as this is optional and no one is forcing you to buy it, if it's too expensive for you, you're simply not the target market
I myself am looking into how much screen does the blade take over. The rgx blade is currently (and to the best of my knowledge) the blade with the smallest footprint (except when kayo is weilding it). It does not take over the sides of your screen, and when you jump the blade dips instead of it being raised like all other melees. So far it looks like the katana takes over more space and the rgx
wdym when kayo wields it. Is it different somehow when he has rgx blade?
@@rudyorre he thicc as hell
bro the rgx literally covers the entire bottom half of the screen wdym
@@Almaeeni0 bros trying to justify his purchase of the RGX blade
@@overkilljames2010 bro you're talking like you have to justify every purchase you make 💀he likes it so he bought it. What's wrong with people 💀😭
Oni katana just killed it with the Oni mask refelction and you become a samurai in a gun game. How cool is that?
I’m sorry but in what world is that Oni katana is worth 5350, the same as VCT knives.
The vct one looks like trash compared to the katana but both aren't worth 5350, its the ultimate fomo bait, im not about to spend 50 dollars on a knife skins...
@Victor yeah, honestly go for VCT. This katana is way too over priced. I understand ZEDD being overpriced because it’s a collab but you can’t even see the entire knife while running. I was genuinely thinking abt buying it because I thought it would be 4350, but nope. It’s 5350, might as well buy the entire bundle. You just need 1750 VP and you can buy the entire bundle, what a scam from RIOT.
@@nothinisworthit true, but if I did have the money I would buy it for it’s exclusivity, guess I’m sticking to my reaver karambit
@@HabibiPleasereaver karambit is the fking goat, no need for anything else
@@nothinisworthit in which universe a melee that doesn't have a pull out animation , have a slow Ass inspect and in general one of the least satisfying animations , can be better than the VTC, this melee is the biggest bait done so far, only have some new and beautiful animations but not satisfying like those of the Xeno or karambit for example leads to getting bored very quickly💀
oni definitely is better in terms of sound design and animation, but rgx has this different kind of charm to it, and i like it more.
Imo katana would be a lot better if as in the rgx animations they would use the hands or fingers against the blade rather than the thing you keep the blade in
easter egg with oni katana and yoru, the ult on yoru, the mask is the oni mask
In my opinion rgx is way better because when you have the rgx equipt its already like omg is that melee big but the oni katana is bigger aspecially when you inspect it and the pullout animation and the way you hold it is so much better on the rgx blade. And the colorvariants are much better too. Plus you can change the lights what is so cool. And its cheaper.
Respectfully I disagree with all of that. rgx blade is a bit overrated for a large glow stick that changes colours
I would add, it is kinda sad I could not even see the katana while running unlike rgx blade which I could see the blade all the time from the way it is being held while running, I dont like inspecting way too often cause it is distracting
So yea, 5000ish vp it is overrated, unless you are a yoru main
@@gemmameidia8438who told u to spend 5350 vp spend some more and get the bundle
@@unlikesonicidontchuckle8218 how is it a glow stick tho its a retractable blade that has changeable colors and what makes rgx so good is the fact that it has the best animations among all knives in the game and it is one of a kind the pull out animation is satisfying the variants are good and inspection is perfect when you are bhopping the knife has the same thing as the protocol knife that you can throw i around and change position
NEVER RATE AGAIN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The inspect animation is kinda weird imo and same with the left click. I feel like they could have done something more simple and aesthetic
Have a question if i am right handed i shoud use katana form my right hand and its shown wrong in valorant
as a person who has both the skins, i see this as a complete win
I like the Rex blade more because of his simplicity and clean hit animations
Imo oni katana is perfect. People dislike the pull out animation but I think it’s extremely nice. So clean and makes me actually feel like i’m wielding one.
i feel the same way, it’s beautiful
People want cool looking pull out animations but when you make a katana with a sheath like that there isn't really a way to make it look any flashier while still making sense.
@@juhaojanpaa as well as the fact that if it had a pullout animation it would for sure be big on the screen, i mean it’s a katana, which would make people complain and dislike it
either ways people will complain, so better to just buy what we like
@@miro-2308 yeah exactly. Also the inspect wouldn't make sense of it was unsheathed all the time
Should I buy the reaver karambit or the oni katana?
rgx is less expensive so i like that better and am hoping to buy it
bought rgx like 4 days ago. RGX is the shit...
@@huzaifaarsalan I wish It would come to my store
i think the oni katana would be better if it would be on the left side pov for people that have their main on right, because right handed people dont keep katanas on their right side.
I don't really think i'll be buying the entire bundle, maybe just the katana.
Bro 5000 u sure?
buy the entire bro
the katana will be 5350
@@Mizhiro You don't save money by paying more. If the skins suck (which they kinda do, let's be real) you're better off just buying the katana
@@skade245 its not worth to spend 50$ only for the katana
more worth to add 20$ to get everything
@@Mizhiro more worth in case you want all. If not, then the kata only is simply cheaper. Don't need another vandal skin to the already 4-5 one I have.
Both are expensive af but if I had to choose only 1 meele between all the meeles in valorant I would choose oni katana
the only thing that bothers me with the oni katana is that you get to hold the blade with your left hand in right hand mode (and the opposite for left hand mode) which doesn't sit well with me, like idk... it confuses my brain since i struggle holding things with my left hand even irl. i wonder if let handed people feel the same?
and with that said, the butterfly knives are better than any sword type blade in the game
i completely agreed until the last part. not to say butterfly knives are bad, but i prefer blade knives. i respect your opinion tho
as someone who hates it when the color of the agent doesnt match the color of my melee, I like rgx better because the variant matches alot of agents
The animations for Oni Katana reminds me of Cyberpunk's, both attack and inspect animations
Exactly and the sounds are really similar
Rgx wins and is not even fucking close. Id rather see a nice dagger than a fucking hand for 90 percet of the time
Fun fact : RGX Blade is a Chokuto (one type of Japanese sword) is not katana
Also can’t forget the Easter egg in the Yoru ult with the oni katana
i like katana but when i saw the price my soul left the body immediately :(
i love how the right handed model becomes left handed with the katana lmao
They are both good but for me I prefer the smaller knives skin like karambit, butterfly knife and xeno knife coz for me it has the better animations
How you hold the oni katana is cool, but its def cooler how you hold the rgx as well as the pullout, the riot devs just got lazy making the katana pullout. Its disguisting. I own both skins. I really like them but id rather use the rgx bc of the pullout and hold animation.
One issue with oni katana is that it's left handed when your guns are on the right and v.v., they for real could have made it look like it was on the right side, look at the cryostasis drill hammer thing
5350 for the katana is BS when the entire bundle is 7100
You are practically getting 4 gun skins with 4 variants for 1750vp with bundle 😄
Buy the RGX and with the rest 1000 val points buy a battle pass so you have points to upgrade it and have also other new skins
Unpopular opinion- Oni katana is overrated
I hate that u can barely see the blade like no ty man im not buying it
Rgx better atp
Just think you could buy two whole steam games with the amount of money the oni katana costs.
I have both. Oni is definitely smoother.
i've got both, and didnt touch the rgx blade since then, its so good but damn it's expensive
rgx blade better. the variants could be arguably better in the rgx. cause with each variant there are different colours the lights can be. and overall the animations of the katana feel smoother even if they are not "better" the melee just feels smoother to use overall. and you can see that. also i personally dont like the way you are holding the katana. i think it would be 10 times beter if you could hold it like the rgx blade.for me... rgx wins
Never seen anyone hold a blade like the rgx before… is a game tho not irl ig
@@titanz9071 yeah it doesent matter as long as it looks sick.
Probably gonna get one of the katanas of they ever appear in the night market chances are they won't appear at the same time
i got the oni katana and i have to say that having no pullout animation gets boring fast
1 thing that i hate about oni is the fact that how u unsheath ur katana is not the right way and its actually dangerous and it annoys me quite a bit
Idk if this is true about the rgx, but the oni katana when equipped, can be seen if you are hiding behind boxes or places with similar heights and the blade is long enough to be seen.... Or so im told
oni loses
riot im still not giving you my kidney for it
i feel like the katana swing animation is really snappy and looks out of place. but thats just me
Hey can you show us katana in left hand? Thanks
Oni katana is cool but i dont like the placement of it in my screen.. i mean thats not how you hold a katana in real life.. i guess they just put it in there so its much more visible.. its understandable that you wont see it if its just in your waist while running... I wish it was a wakizashi tho..
Sooo im not buying it.. ill wait for rgx 11z pro.. its much more fun in inspect for me..
pull out katana honestly sucks when switching fast, it should instantly go into the unsheathe animation instead of having it sheathed first.
pullout rgx wins, animations both are good, oni would be better if there wasnt the ugly face on it, but oni you wont get bored of it, and it matches colors easier with your other guns. Rgx is hard to match with other gun skins and you will get bored of it quick
i think the animation of the oni katana looks really choppy and unnatural
1. oni inspect not spammable so doesnt look cool when u run around spamming inspect. 2. when your hiding around a corner with your oni knife out the thing is s huge the enemy sees your sword therefor seeds your location before you see them
one thing i dont like about the oni katana is the sheer amount of people that have it, imho it makes it feel a bit less unique
this was the biggest question in my mind
RGX Blade is objectively better, but I like oni better just because of the inspect,samurai theme, and holster
I feel like this is a n opinion formed by how fresh and new the oni katana looks when its just released. The rgx blade has better animations for everything except (according to some) the inspect, just look at the pickup on oni katana.
I think comparing these particular knives is absolutely pointless. This is the case when you need to take what you like, and not people from the Internet.
Oni katana is cool and all but it feels really clunky imo. Rgx blade feels way more fluid compared to oni katana. Pull out animation on oni feels off.
Well I got both but I use Oni more. But I hate to say if ur gonna get Oni just get the bundle cuz like the knife alone is overpriced
as a person who a fan of Japanese Chinese theme i feel like the katana is worth it
Zoro needs one🔥
oni katana or reaver karambit?
depends on your taste cuz both are imo really good, if you want sfx pick oni, if you like to inspect alot go karambit (watch showcase of both and see what suits you)
oni katana is obviously much better than the rgx blade probably because the rgx was their first katana
Oni katana is actually a real sword lol. RGX looks like a child’s toy
Both
me before the oni katana thinking i was going to buy it until i see the price 💀
I like more rgx blade
u have it?
Sammme
@@Mizhiro No, im waiting for it
@@kodik74 oh nice i have it but i prefer more karambits tho
even tho rgx blade is so satisfying
Oni Katana or RGX Firefly? 😭
I dont like Oni (all of the collection) but Katana looks OKAY to me.. Just okay
I like both , 1 is sleek the other is clean
Ayo you forgot to mention the easter egg with oni katana the yoru ult mask get swapped with oni mask
I think that's way too expensive to me. :'(
whats the point of buying a knife if you cant even see it when you're holding it.
Aside katana's animations,when you see it as an enemy player the sword is meh
So i will go with rgx
The katana pokes out of corners, and short objects.
The katana is also left handed ?!?!?!!?!
What if the katana showed Yoru's mask when playing Yoru.
It is. But differently. During the pull out animation of yoru ult
I will notice the Oni mask on it.
@@unknownkid28 ah I see. thanks for telling me.
there is no such thing as a left handed katana... how did this slip past the devs? it honestly kills the bundle for me.
rgx blade has the best pullout animation in the game imo and the oni katana looks silly, because when your game is set to be right-handed the agent holds the katana with their left hand, which is absolutely stupid, deal breaker for me. and also it has no pullout animation
Both are stupidly long....
Enemy alert...
But animation...damn
