That last thing is the thing that I think most people misunderstand about longsword fencing. It’s not like modern fencing where it’s sit in a guard, wait for an attack, parry, then attack. Most of the fightmasters show styles where your movement from one guard to another will defend you and can be made into an attack. The guard is more than a convenient way to stand, it’s the end of one move and the beginning of the next
Is For Honor still played by people? I remember playing the beta back in the day, but so much time passed, I never thought it was still active now. I really wanted to get back to it, because it was a lot of fun
Really nice video, it's interesting to see real historical details on videogames and you are explaining really well. Also really like the 'Sword fighting banker' look you have going.
Gotta allow the man a bit of flair to do some flashy spin moves when he's lugging around a massive sword like that. Are there any historical examples of style over substance switch moves like that?
As big as the sword is it would only weigh around 5.5lbs maybe a little extra given For Honors tendency to sometimes oversize the blades abit or give embellishments to weapons. It's swinging that thing repeatedly I'd be tired from.
@@GunShocka You’d get tired, but people who were trained to use claymore swords pretty much used claymore swords exclusively, meaning they got incredibly skilled and comfortable with the blade. They’d likely be able to wield said blade for maybe two to three straight minutes of combat before their arms started to tire, but they’d probably be able to go for fifteen total minutes of combat before they wouldn’t be able to swing their swords around anymore.
@@decimation9780 um ok? That can literally be said about...any physical activity. I trained in with a Bo and Boken before. I'm fully aware that a person who trains their chosen weapon would be proficient at it. But realistically they are most likely not swinging a claymore as fast as this guy here for 15 minutes straight. Their arms would literally fatigue themselves out and get noticeable sloppy or less in speed and power since you arm trying to hold a 5 pound bar when in motion will feel like 10 pounds that you are trying to pull back and manipulate at high speeds as it yanks at your muscles. Even swords smaller than a claymore professionals wouldn't be able to keep up such a strain for extended period of time without short breaks or having aid in combat to pick up the slack since exhaustion isn't just relegated nor accumlated to just swinging the sword. Injury, environment, length of fight, how much footwork you do will all tire you out and effect your performance.
Dude, I genuinely watched this video and his form the first time around and was impressed, then I was reading comments talking about the bakery. Had to watch the video a second time.
Dude, it’s refreshing to see someone give a little history lesson when it comes to videos games. Especially this one since I’ve sunken more hours than I care to admit. Is there any way you can do a rundown on the Valkyrie or maybe one of the samurai like kensei?
Him spinning when switching between his low guards is actually interesting. It leaves him open, but he does it quickly and in a way that might actually make sense. Swapping sides with a sword that long might be difficult, and the way he spins is kind of articulate and looks like it could streamline the movement a lot.
Love the stuff man. I've never taken any classes but I'm doing as much research and active "self practice" so to speak lol. An since I'm a novice Smith, it's cool to be able to forge my own to do it with!
I love how game depict historical technics more or less accurately. Those that allow themselves to step from the accuracy a bit still use realistic approaches e.g. letting a buffed dude to use two-handed stand with one hand. I like it
I love how any time I see one of this guy's videos, the comments are inevitably always about baking and cake. Never understood it, but the sword stuff is cool.
I like this guy cause he’s not as judgy as other medieval guys out there. Most other critiques of For Honor shit on the game, this guy nicely explains it :D
My guess of him "being extra" is because Ubi wanted us to believe the claymore was a HEAVY-ASS SWORD to the point where spinning your whole body around was easier than flipping it forward. That and he could be trying to bait an attack so he can dodge and counter (something about cats and gloves i think)
That sort of spin implemented in the lower guard is a maneuver meant to hide either the switching of hands, or don’t switch hands and quickly swing back on the original side you stanced. Employed by shinobi/nin who would use a short daito and saya in either hand. Obviously less effective with a greatsword, but has some cool potential if you want to smite your foes while looking drippy.
I prefer to always keep my blade close to the body when in defense. You can easily go in any direction. It's different when you want to close any line. It will make you an opponent do the best possible thing while you are set to a very specific situation.
The real life info on how real weapons were meant to be handled is awesome. I'd like to know more about how your opponent's weapon might influence your approach. Like, how would someone's handling of their claymore change depending on whether their opponent has sword/shield vs a spear vs also has a claymore
For Honor is one of those franchises where I really wish was more readily accessible and customizable. Locking movesets and weapons behind a character is a common trope by companies to artificially inflate variety, when the best variety is just scattering all the tools and abilities out and making them all readily available for players to theory craft the best combinations.
I’ll always say your videos are great because they’re informative but also concede that sometimes the inaccurate stuff games and movies do are just fun and cool.
What I love about that spin hand change is that you'd only do it that way if your body was easier to reposition than the sword. But it clearly shows he can toss that thing around one handed, so hes kiterally just dling that spin for flare.
In the clip, if you look carefully, the Highlander never stops looking at his opponent for longer than absolutely necessary. The instant the sword's on the other side, he spins his body around and his gaze immediately locks onto his opponent again.
My takeaway from your short is that Ubi actually did some amount of research into how these hero’s would actually fight/engage with their chosen weapons. As a Highlander main I enjoyed this and hope you do more on the other heroes in the game.
This sword was not used to fight men on the ground. It was to unhorse calvary usually by attacking the horse, either is legs or straight thrust to the chest or side.
Highlander recently got a new execution, where he ends the execution in Plow which made me smile with glee, I've been wanting to see him in a basic greatsword guard for so long.
Seeing you with and without glasses and suspenders has singlehandedly convinced me that Clark Kent's disguise would work
