Two EPIC weapons in the ULTIMATE sbowdown: The Star Wars light saber and the Halo energy sword! Fans of both franchises know that these are iconic weapons on both sides, but that they also have some pretty interesting similarities. Researching how these weapons would be made and what kind of damage they could really do led me to ask just one question: Which one would win in a fight?!

Something to take into account about the energy sword is that, despite its "ten hit limit" seen in-game, this is purely a game balancing mechanic and not reflective of how the energy sword is in the Halo mythos at large. Remember that the energy sword only loses ten percent of its charge on the killing blow. You can strike an enemy repeatedly with no loss of charge, and it's only the final strike which actually kills the opponent when the sword's battery depletes. And even then, there are exceptions. The energy sword expels not ten percent but rather two to three percent of its charge every time it lands a killing blow against a Flood, because the Flood are heavily decomposed and putrefied, so their bodies are much easier to cut through and therefore require less battery from the sword.

and a jedi would be much easier to cut through than an armoured elite or spartan so realistically the sword would only deplete like 5 percent

You’re forgetting something, the wrist protection around the energy sword may work if it was blunt, however since the beam can cut through anything all the lightsaber would have to do is put a little weight on the end and physics would tell you that the wrist would be amputated.
@kablamy
@kablamy 11 ай бұрын
The wrist protection is made of plasma, meaning that pressure you put there likely wouldn't do anything as its essentially the same as hitting the main blade, which hasn't been severed by plasma in star wars lore(that I know of). And, going by the video, they are made of the same stuff meaning it would likely just glance off. Not to mention that there are lightsabre wrist guards in the form of Kylo Ren's sword which do the exact same thing.

11:50 As seen in Halo 2 when you play as The Arbiter, the energy sword takes way less energy to use. So really you could swing 34 times as arbiter. This could mean that there is a proper trick/form for energy swords that takes less energy when you swing that a human wouldn't know. So I think there isn't really a defined limit because it depends on your skill.

A stick has weight on all parts of it the light saber is all handle weight and a fast death part that if a single mistake is made lops off body parts. Would take lots of training to properly use stick swinging or no. Swing the stick often and statistically you will hit yourself and it only has to happen once.

"Energy constantly flows through the crystal. You're not fighting with a simple blade as much as you are directing a current of power. Your thoughts, your actions, they become energy." - Kanun Jarus. The lightsaber has weight, the energy that it is running through it exerts pressure, giving it the feeling of weight. Not to mention the wielders thoughts and emotions become some of that energy

Some issues being design: if you really want to compare two items also consider the way they’re used. It’s comparing the armor on a horse to the armor on a human. Lightsabers are designed for and by force sensitives NOT for regulars. A more legitimate comparison ( in spite of the change of material) is a vibro-sword. Also known to be very destructive to flesh, but also much more commonly used by non force sensitives. If you really wanna get nit picky on the lightsaber though, some can extend and shorten blades, and sometimes are rapidly deactivated and reactivated to bypass an enemy weapon. I do think that in actual war the lightsaber has a huge advantage. But for pure dueling purposes, it just depends on a lot of other factors.

The one glaring omission that makes the results here incorrect is that all “trapping” style swords use the blade to funnel the opponent’s sword down to the trap position. The swords go from being wide open down to a choke point that is used to disarm the opponent. The Halo sword just has a narrow opening at top which turns it into blind luck that the opponent’s blade will slip between this opening
@stormshadow5382
@stormshadow5382 2 жыл бұрын
That doesn't make the results incorrect, It is surprisingly easy to anticipate and catch a narrow rod-like object in between openings that are similar to energy sword's. Also since elites are specifically trained to use the trapping technique along side others means the users are... well... used to it.

some energy swords have handguards that cover the entire hilt, and the older models round out at the bottom, almost coming together. The newer ones have a little bump which, while less effective, seem to serve the same purpose. And the Halo infinite one is the same as the older models. If anything is wrong about the video it's the fact that you would absolutely stab yourself with those wristguards, and that the energy sword has way more than 10 hits canonically.

One thing that I just thought of that may just be b.s but is still interesting is that considering that a lightsaber is made of plasma its energy levels are to too high to have any significant weight(which you can see in the movement of the movies) and the energy sword is held together by a magnetic field, meaning it has a high sense of "gravity" (for lack of a better term) and would be exceedingly difficult to speedily use, so while weighted weapons are effective the almost weightless agility is a game changer.

Palpatine knew once The Chosen One was found his master would execute him & take Anakin in for training. Palpatine killed Plagueis in his sleep. Posing as a Naboo Senator he would await his chance to get elected as Chancellor of the Republic. He played both roles on both sides like a fiddle, once Anakin’s talent by taking out that Trade Federation Control Ship which had commanded the Droids Jar Jar & The Gungans were fighting.

Decent theory, but you really shouldn't have used fencing as your example. Something like WMA or HEMA would have been a better example for more accurate historical sword fighting, free from fencings rules and technicalities. I think a lightsaber would still win, as you have a much wider range of motion with it. The plasma sword requires awkward lunges and swings and must be sued one handed. Lightsabers can be used with two hands (greater control) and can attack easily from any angle. Plus, look at the design of historical swords. Swords with the sort of grip plasma swords have were not widely used (if at all) because of how awkward they would be to fight with.

+Pendragon Yeah I don't see why a near weightless weapon could be awkward really. It would be easy to maneuver because of how light it is. Pick like any object about the size of the hilt and then you got the weight of the sword. But with a lightsaber you would really just be able to slide down the side of the energy sword and chop their hand off, like the one hand cutting off move.

Coming in a bit late on this, but a sabre isn't always curved. The fencing sabre is straight, as was the Pattern 1908 and 1912 Cavalry Sword. The single-edge is far more important in determining the sabre-ness of a blade than the curve. As for whether or not a lightsaber has more than one edge, well, I contend that it DOES have but a single, omnidirectional edge. The fact that there's no safe place to touch the blade means that there's no way to meaningfully declare where one "edge" ends and the next begins. If we cannot divide its edges from one another in any meaningful way, then we can only conclude that there's only a single edge, and that edge covers every possible blade facing.

I'm sorry, but your claims about the energy sword's battery life are pretty off. You're going by the games, which always puts gameplay balance over canon (unless we really believe a Marine can take a dozen plasma bolts to the face no-problem). Considering all the research you put into the video on why a back-tap would kill a Spartan, I have to say I'm a little disappointed. Now, in your defense, the canon has never officially comment on the battery-life of a Sword. That said, there are sources that can give you an idea of how long an energy sword could last in battle. As examples: - In the Spartan Ops cutscenes from Halo 4, Spartan Paul DeMarco is seen cutting through several Sangheili with an energy sword we know has seen prior action. - In "The Duel" from Halo Legends, the Arbiter, Fal 'Chavamee, cuts down several Sangheili before his blades run out of power. - In "Halo: Hunters on the Dark", Spartan Frank Kodiak has an energy sword he's been carrying around since the Covenant War (the book is set a little over 2 years after the war ends). So, no matter how you slice it (sorry for the pun), the idea of "10 hits" just doesn't hold water.

To sum up: 1.) The Energy Sword has only 10 swings, in the game, only for the player, but those swings are only spent when they connect to something. 2.) Energy Sword is easy to wield, while Light Sabers require years of training so you don't cut off a limb. 3.) An Energy Sword's color is not just for show but an indication of strength. (blue-normal/100%, red-ish yellow-old/reforged/125%, red-150%) 4.) Design alone is the Light Saber's most noticeable flaw. It looks like a brake handle to a steam train at a glance.

I'm not sure you peeps in the comments get it. The energy sword isn't designed for Humans, it is designed for Sangheili. That is Elites for you anti-haloists. The shape of the energy sword is designed for elites, the blades sticking out the back dont affect elites because they have two thumbs! So for you people saying the shape is flawed, its not, you aren't supposed to use it. The energy sword is meant for dueling, anything else such as assassinating and anything that is dishonorable. Get over yourselves for thinking it is just for short battles and not armies but who the hell brings a knife to a gunfight! In reality you would use a plasma rifle, sword for hand combat. Think its to slow or to big? Look up elite physical charts and anatomy. Elites are far superior to humans in every aspect except size. Look this stuff up before you criticise.

Mat, you forgot one VERY important detail. Length of the blade! The energy sword is meant to be a quick assassination blade, so its length is that of a long dagger or shortsword. The lightsaber, however, is designed for long reach, which is what you praised to be a good thing when you talked about fencing. In a real world battle, reach is everything. The user with the energy sword would only have the advantage if they attacked from the shadows. But if both users fought head on, the lightsaber wielder would have a HUGE advantage. The energy sword would be greatly hindered by its reach while the lightsaber user would feel safe making long jabs and strikes. Also, if the lightsaber did end up getting stuck in between the energy blades, the user could just turn the lightsaber off and then back on, another HUGE advantage of a lightsaber that you didn't mention. Lightsaber wins this with little to no contest unless the energy sword attacks first with an ambush.

And you can't look at weapons without someone to hold them, there wouldn't be a point otherwise.

The user can simply adjust the blade length to have the advantage, yet another feature of a lightsaber that MatPat didn't mention.

DON'T EVER COMPARE HISTORICAL COMBAT TO MODERN FENCING!German Longsword Techniques, relied heavily on two hands being on the longsword at all times. The reason for mostly stabbing techniques being used: ARMOR! Stabbing with a blade was much more effective at getting around armor, instead of trying to cut through it. They would aim for the joints, which is the weakest part of most armors. The Lightsaber is suited for German Long Sword techniques. But yes, most one-v-one battles end within the first couple of sword strokes. HOWEVER, in a battle, you'll be fighting more than one opponent at a time, and you too will also have allies fighting. The side with the better skill, wins. If a sword in a full combat scenario, were to break after 10 strikes, then that person is dead. All the opponent has to do, is recognize this flaw, and block the first 10 strikes, and boom, opponent is open for the kill. Victory: Lightsaber

The Halo Sword is a BAD design. How would you manage to put the opponent blade trough with that? The lightsaber however is more versatile, so you can use a variety of technics to avoid the Halo Sword and cut off the oponent limb easily, correct me if i'm wrong, but in combat, versatility is key.

***** Okay, but tell me... How would those stat increase work in real life? I understand videogames giving bonus, but if we were to bring both weapons into the real world, the lightsaber is far more versatile. As Py7h0n said "...but in combat, versatility is key." Which is correct. MaximusCactus How would the weapon discern whether it hit an opponent, another weapon, or the ground, in the real world? In videogames, that is part of programing, but in the real world, its not. But let's say it is possible to do all that in the real world: Versatility is still key in combat. Weapons with limited capabilities are easier to counter, than a weapon with versatility.

I fail to see how something that requires a physically tangible barrier to hold the plasma trumps a device that produces one without said need. That alone would make the halo blade inferior. let alone because it has a physical property the plasma's heat can't exceed that of what the material can endure. or its thin factor making it susceptible to destruction from proper thrust attacks.

I was kind of hoping that the different grip styles would play a role. I feel like in "sword" to "sword" combat the energy sword has a disadvantage because of how the only way to wield it is in line with the forearm. That makes it much harder to slash and defend the whole body, but also gives more strength behind it.

I feel one factor not taken into account is length. If a lightsaber duel woupd be most similar to fencing then determining which weapon has longer reach would be incredibly important. The halo wiki I found says the energy sword is 4 feet long but most images I find show it much shorter than the lightsaber which would could give a major advantige.
