Why did people suddenly decide that swinging a big two handed sword around was not cool enough and now you have to grip it from the wrong place and bonk people with it?
>>728395072The only thing not wrong in that video is holding the blade.Sword handles are heavier than the blade, the weight of it is in the handle so that you've got the leverage to swing it around quickly. Grab the handle and now you're swinging the 2kg handle into something.I hate how video games, RPGs and board games treat fighting. It's so bad on so many levels that there's no redeeming quality in them.
>>728395570watch it again
Hold up...That butt...
>>728395072A blade does jackshit against heavy plate, uing the pommel and handle as an improvised hammer isn't a bad idea. But doing that without this context is silly.
>>728395072>all this effort to make the game "look and play good">enemy still gets suck on a tree because CE cant handle anything without constantly shitting itself
>>728395072whoever made that animation clearly doesn't know shit about swords. You'd loose all your fingers if you tried that shit in real life.
>>728395072Isn't the "mordhau technique" taken from a medieveal joke book?
>>728396320Retard.The sword cuts you because it's moving across the skin or it hits against it. Holding a sword in mordhau doesn't rip your hand apart because it doesn't move in your hand. You're holding it tight enough that on impact and during flex the positions of your hand on the blade don't move.I love when people like you talk shit.>>728396532No.
>>728396107This doesn't happen in OpenMW btw, because OpenMW auto-generates navmeshes in real time.
>>728395072how have you faggots not noticed the giant "BLACKED" on her right ass cheek
>>728395072HEMA influence in fantasy games is like tactigay in shooters.
>>728396532No, it is a real technique. If facing an opponent wearing full plate armor, if all you have is a sword, then attacking with the hilt is way more effective than using the blade.Obviously the opponent in full plate has the advantage, and this would result in your own death 99% of the time, but at least you have a chance to win that fight.Also you're supposed to do this with gloves. It's actually pretty effective because swords are way heavier than they look.

What if there was a vidya where you play as a japanese delinquent inna skyrim esque setting and grip heavy 2hand sword like it's a baseball bat.
>>728395790>>728396776HAHAHAHAHAHA
>>728396532It's a real technique that was used at a time where swords were little more than status symbols. A trick reserved for duels between the wealthy military elite really.
>>728396776How is having consequences from getting raped by redguard bandits a bannable offense?
>>728397019swords dont weigh shit thoughits also pointlessly desperate, you'd always be better off trying to disarm or trip and put a blade into the visor
>>728397507Wouldn't a two handed sword weigh the same as a mace?
>>728397828Mace has most of the weight on the smashing end while sword balances the weight.
>>728395072What I'd like to know is why polearms and spears are missing from most games. Like why the fuck aren't they in Skyrim. Its bullshit.
>>728396776Wife material
>>728397967Because they are not fun to use.>just poke stuff until it is dead bro
>>728395846Wouldn't going for pokes be better thank slicing your fingers off?
>>728397507>swords dont weigh shit
>>728396653>swing a sword by holding the blade >its fine because magically kinetic energy transfer stops when I decide it does
>>728398067Maybe if you had a spear, but a longsword is pretty trash for poking.
>>728398061Spears are fun. Besides that still doesn't explain the lack of polearms. Using a halbard in Skyrim would have been kino.
>>728398316Sorry. We can't have spears because >>728398061 said they're boring.
>>728397019Swords are not heavy you Aquajeet. They are around 7ish lbs. Thats like a cast iron pan weight
>>728397149>>728398285You do know you could actually just watch a video of someone on YouTube demonstrating mordhau?You don't have to argue on 4chan like a retard that's never held a tool in their life.Mordhau is the most normie surface level sword technique.Honestly it's probably the only thing people less retarded than you know.
>>728398597Did you get that triggered by that post? Kek
>>728395072Half-Swording is a thing
>>728398978a sword is a sword, you can't say it's only half
>>728398872Nigger, go swing sword into objects holding the blade and report back.
>>728396532I imagine you’re thinking of “end him rightly”
>>728399174What if it's a shortsword? That's half of a longsword.

>>728399325https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwuQPfvSSlo
>>728399610This is somewhat contextual as well, it depends on how sharp the sword is. Most swords aren’t sharpened to a razor’s edge but it’s not like they couldn’t be. A sword COULD be kept as sharp as a kitchen knife and it would slip a lot more easily if you tried to grip it.
>>728399610Just saw that nigga made a updated video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT_bmO6CnRA
>>728399325I have, mordhau is the thing every hema club does to show off at events because it looks cool to people that don't know any better.I'm only talking shit because either you or another anon claimed this >>728396320 while also pretending they know "shit about swords".Yes you'll cut yourself, no you're not going to lose a finger at all.And if you wasn't intentionally showing off, you wouldn't be doing it barehanded anyway. The 2 places you armour up first is your head and your hands, in that order, historically.
>>728399904you would be wearing fucking gloves/gauntlets anyway
>>728399904You're supposed to put pressure on the flat, not the edge
>stormchuds want to deport this
>>728395072retards heard about a technique that was very rarely used and decided that it was the optimal way to wield a sword all the time
>>728395072>Let me just slice my fingers off senpaiSurely my gloves will protec-ACK!
>>728395570>Sword handles are heavier than the bladeThat's retarded and wrong. Swords are either balanced at the mid point or top heavy for more striking power. No ones ever made a bottom heavy sword because it defeats the entire fucking point. What's inaccurate is the weight of swords in general. Katanas for example are fat heavy pig swords because they're just a huge thick bar of folded steel sharpened on one side and feel more like swinging a lead pipe at someone. The most sophisticated swords ever made in world history are viking iron cores, which combined the strength of pure iron with the edge holding and corrosion resistance of steel by wrapping an iron slab in steel. They were absurdly top heavy but honestly you really, really want top heavy. Balanced swords are a fencing meme that was never relevant until armor became so good you'd have no chance of hurting someone through it without slotting under their helmet, gorget or armpits anyways so there was no point in using some absolute unit sword that hits like a hammerpick when a hammerpick is just better.
>>728400672which replacer?
>changed up my modlist>now need to rerun xlodgen, grass precacher, texgen, and dindulodI can't wait to play skyrim 3 days from now
>>728400782Retard.Swords are balanced to just above the hilt, what happens when you don't balance a sword at the hilt is it ends up being used like an axe which has it's own problems.Where on earth are you getting this information? Do you own a sword? Have you ever swung a sword at a person? Do you go to a hema club? Ever even watched a tournament?Some retard that does larp would know more than you anon.
>>728400782Nobody wants to hear this, but the best swords are actually rapiers.
>>728400672I know, right?
>>728401150Rapiers are greatI would use a rapier all the timeI'll be the best rapist
>>728397507>swords dont weigh shit thoughidiot
>>728401141Personal experience. I own a suit of heat treated steel plate I honestly regret spending a ludicrous sum of money on and is probably a good example of why teenagers shouldn't be allowed to have money but I got plenty of good use out of it. Hema is fucking retarded by the way. If you can't feel the hit it doesn't count and even the most basic bitch unriveted mail can stop the baby sissy thrusts they give points for in hema. Gimme a fucking break man. It wouldn't surprise me if they like assbackwards bottom heavy swords just to game the point score system.
>>728400672>>728401370What face mods are these?
>>728395790Good to know I can trust fellow anons not to miss anything important when scrolling off-topic threads.
>>728401721Owning a piece of armour doesn't mean anything about proving a technique wrong.Hema is retarded often, there's a lot of pussies that'll cry about hand hits or wrestling but it doesn't mean it's wrong about mordhau.Mordhau will cut your hand on impact because it's physically impossible to brace against the blade flexing so perfectly that it can't cut your hand.It doesn't cut deep enough that you'd lose fingers, that you'd need stitching or anything serious.Every time I've done it, and I've done it often barehanded at events for showing off to a crowd, I've washed my hands under some water and it's stopped bleeding within a couple of minutes. It doesn't get deep. After that point I wear a bandage over it because I don't want to touch public shit with a tiny cut on my hand.
>>728401150You're probably right about that. At the tail end of the martial era right before everything was all about gunpowder, all the swords that weren't rapiers were still principally similar to them. A lot of the great swords weren't even sharpened except the last few inches because they were used almost exclusively for thrusting and trying to slot arteries through the mail of the arming coat.
>>728402291And nobody said anything about that uterus and instestine meter left of health bar.
>>728402345>Owning a piece of armourA full set of plate hand made by an amish blacksmith.>I've done it often barehandedWay to out yourself as a charlatan.
>>728397507Oh yeah. Hit yourself on the head with a 2 kg mace or hammer, and tell use how it went.
>>728402857>full setThat means absolutely nothing. Anybody can own armour, owning armour doesn't make mordhau so dangerous that it'll cut fingers off.>out yourselfNot really, I'm a Britbong and we have a lot of events here because of history. I'm probably at around 20 events, doing a hema performance, every year. Maybe once or twice I'll do mordhau for a more adult crowd that has drinking going on.
>>728396532nope, mordhau'ing is a real technique, it's more an emergency tactic when fighting an armored opponent but it gives you a blunt weapon where you didn't have one before
>>728400672>>728401370>look, i made the ugliest darkest race into generic white people! i am very smart
>>728403241>I'm a Britbong and we have a lot of events here because of historyYou'd be required to wear hand protection if any of what you were doing was actually fighting. Its fucking mind boggling you think this is a flex.
>>728395072That's a fad where "medieval experts" tell you how people "actually" used the weapons in a fight a thousand years ago.
>>728395846>A blade does jackshit against heavy plateNot true in videogame land. There is zero point in holding the sword backwards when the blade can 2 or 3 shot someone who is fully decked out in full plate.
>>728401810BOGGED
>>728403806*blocks your path*
>>728400672What hud mod?
>>728395072Yeah idk and that looks stupid. People make fun of Oblivion and Skyrim for lackluster combat but I like the generic swings and thrusts. That's what you do with axes, maces, and swords, you swing, slash, and stab. I always hated fancy garbage looking moves.Witcher 3 is fucking trash to me for that 1 reason. Gayralt's gay ass ballerina fighting style can go get fucked by a drowner.
Half-swording looks gay and is gay. It's faggot shit for faggot larp niggers whose source is some retarded meme manuscript. It's basically the medieval version of the self defense training meme.
some meathead thought fantasy needed more realism
>>728400782Wrong. At least standard European swords are weighted close to the hand. Why do you think pommels exist? They are counterweights. It gives you way more maneuverability and lets you change swing direction much easier than if the weight was out near the tip, like a mace or axe. That's the swords main advantage. Of course there are swords weighted more like an axe for raw cutting power, such as a falchion, but those come at a compromise.
>>728404409You're gay.
>>728395072Because pretentious retards forgot that they're playing fantasy games with Superhuman characters and mythical swords that CAN slice through metal. A ebony sword wielded by a Nord Warrior will slice through Steel. Doubly so if it's enchanted.
>>728404296whatever tempus maledictum uses
>>728395072THECHINDERCHAGGERNIGGERDAGGERYes... We got it.
