For Honor: Warmonger Realism Analysis pt.2

[@lynzg1392]

We need a tier list on who is the most skilled fighter in For Honor based on their animations

[@yomama1800]

My opinion I think Tiandi is one of the most skilled judged by animation, he really does use the word “Defense” very well, all of his attacks always has a way to defend himself (e.g puts his other hand above him when he throws a light finisher) which I find pretty useful in combat, but this is my opinion having 60 sad reps on him

[@KåtaKenneth]

Yes just yes

[@stalincen7179]

@@yomama1800 well yea but tiandi is more like martial art, or more artistic way of fighting, but yes his animation is actually amazing. I would say tiandi's animation is probably the top of for honor. the next i would say is zhanhu, as his animation is inspired by actual chinese sword fight technique.

I came up with proper label I simply call it the “reskined longsword” the length of longsword generally falls between 45-55 inches warswords/great swords are about 60-75 inches so seeing how this sword IS a longsword but looks like a German greatsword it is a reskined longsword

ITS A LONGSWORD NO ITS A ZWEIHANDER REEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEE me, an intellectual: it’s a big ol Fookin sword m8

[@verrat3219]

i measured warmongers character model to be rougly 9cm, and if my sources are true, warmongers height is atleast 6 foot 2, and her sword is roughly 8.5cm, so using simple maths we can find out that her sword is atleast 178cm long, which is pretty much bang on zweihander length. the problem is warmonger doesnt use it like a zweihander (thats down to laziness of the devs, or the lack of research) and the fact that wardens sword only abit shorter than warmongers sword makes no sense because warden is supposed to be wielding a longsword, but its too long for it to be a longsword. so i guess both warmonger and warden both uses greatswords, but warmonger's is definitely a zweihander.

Ah. A nice informal video. Very good with some popcorn or during down time at work

[@the_cousin69]

Nice video. As always, your for honor themed content is some of the most interesting in the entire fh community. I know the next video is probably a ways off, seeing how there's always a lot to analyze/critique about any given hero's fighting style, but straight off the bat, I'm curious: In your opinion, does the "warden 2.0" meme apply for her sword techniques as well (we know she indubitably has better armor than warden so that part's already a given)? Because as you said in this video, similar to warden, she barely half-swords at all and as far as I can tell, the only thing that really sets her apart would be that she actually thrusts in half-sword when she does it. But apart from that it seems as though her footwork and base stance are worse and obviously she does not have anything like Warden's crushing counterstrike or his oberhau/unterhau(?) combo which are obviously the main things that look cool on him. She does have more chains, but those are more of a gameplay improvement than a "realism" improvement afaic. If you want to, you can give me a brief prognosis of your findings (yes/no would be enough lol). Other than that, take care man :)

[@Syliag7]

For those who dont know, blades with a flamberge effect can litteraly not cut. That blade type is used either for decorative swords or for short stabbing blades like the indian kriss.

In terms of the more minor elements of customisation, are there any patterns/symbols/palettes that stand out as being more inspired by reality? Also, would people actually paint directly onto armour? I generally run as little paint as possible on my heroes, but capes and other forced player expression are throwing me for a loop, and using the full red Bloodbath palette on every Knight gets old.

Would the curved "grind" on a straight blade do the same damage to someone as a flamberge'd blade? After all, the curvy blade is meant to inflict a wound that would bleed alot more and heal slower and rougher than a normal blade from what I hear. Also, why was the flamberge effect so uncommon on medieval swords/knifes, being that most examples come from South America? I heard that it was the equivalent of a flamethrower unit in WWII, where one would be targeted if they were using such a weapon, discouraging its use. Is this true?

Nice sword but she holds it 1 hand

[@SuperflyMiceguy]

I like to use the Areto hilt to make the sword as long as it can be to try and differentiate it from Warden’s longsword. Sadly you can’t make the blade longer. If you pay close attention to the tips of the blades, you’ll notice they’re all the same length! Speaking of blades though, I was hoping for your opinion on Warmonger’s Lysippe or Gryne blades. Even if it’s not practical, the one fantasy design I really like, is double-helix blades! Vortiger has a double-helix blade too, called the Venilia! That does bring up the question though! Would a double-helix blade function similarly to a flamberge blade?

[@GoGoDani]

So one key to using a sword properly is edge alignment. Even the slightest improper angle of the edge can mess up your entire cut. If you want examples of this, I highly recommend watching my sword cutting video where I go out and cut up a bunch of water jugs with various swords, and at one point a sword which was definitely sharp enough to cut through a jug actually bounced off of it and didn't do any damage at all. The reason I am explaining this is if you look at both of those sword blades, the edge does not move in a straight line at all. This would produce extremely poor cuts and would render this sword next to useless comparatively to other blade options. Now, if somehow the edge was properly aligned and it did work, could something like this be possible? Well if we are talking about modern smithing with modern tools and modern metallurgy, then maybe and that is a rough maybe. If we are talking about historical smithing with questionable metals, then no, it would not work at all since there are multiple stress points throughout the blade that would definitely cause a failure when met with blade to blade contact. Hope this helps!

the whole "what kind of sword is this" is realy dificult because the modern days started to define everything so specificaly, back in the days it was pretty easy: so do you hold your sword with one or two hands? - one - oh well thats a one handed sword oh you hold yours with two hands? well thats a two handed sword you can hold yours with one or two hands depending on wether or not you have a shield? hmm thats a hand and a half sword it makes sense to categorize it in modern days so its easier to keep track of archaeological founds etc and to connect the dotts which swords or weapons in general got influencend from other cultures etc. obviously this isnt meant as critique at the video creator just the topic in general

[@mizranozahara968]

I think they could have saved their own asses as Developers and stayed somewhat factual if they called Warmonger's sword a Bastard Sword. If it was a Bastard Sword it would make sense for Warmonger to hold it with one hand, and also kind of sets itself apart from Warden's Greatsword and Highlander's Claymore a little better. Well, rather more than just call it, but made it a Bastard Sword.

Yeah but that would be if they cared. They only care if it looks cool or not. So they went with a big sword to make the new hero to look like an anime protagonist.
