Hellish Quart Tournament: Flèche Fatale #2| THE CLASH OF TITANS: Victorious vs Warden

The most entertaining match in Hellish Quart history!
Round 2 of Flèche Fatale #2: Victorious vs Warden

[@wardenTKD]

it was more than an honour, it was the meaning of glory enbodied into a duel

[@tripelon]

2:16 was insane

[@willb9259]

That comeback was soo amazing!!!! 👏👏👏👏

[@bbb462cid]

As a fan of the film _the Duellists_ I find this very enjoyable

[@kaschey6145]

Really beautiful match. So close.

[@alfieomega]

holy crap, that was insane!

[@wardenTKD]

i cant stop rewatching this video

[@alfieomega]

[@Rayan-mz2co]

[@danielquieju8126]

My Bro is on fire like always-Lord

[@AntonAdelson]

Attack the hands is a solid meta!

[@jailcatjones3250]

What a comeback in round 2

[@JamesSmith-uc8nt]

So many people don't know about this game I just seen a gamespot video about it

[@sanguine111]

only thing i don't like is that it needs replays on the kills

[@willb9259]

Slow motion replays would make this game a must buy

[@tripelon]

Like tekken?

[@willb9259]

@@tripelon I was thinking more like bloody roar, where you can manipulate the camera to see different angles and adjust the replay speed.

[@elazuo]

epic comeback

[@intoxication221]

Oh this game interesting

[@manofculture8666]

With a longsword, you have to let the range work for you, because your weapon is slower than a shorter blade. If you get too close, the shorter blade will win.

[@christophermikiewicz7083]

In the video it seemed like the scimitar had a longer range than the longsword lol

[@Praephyr]

@@christophermikiewicz7083 it's because he is using one hand and is positioned sideways, he can use the full length of his arm

[@GeekTalkwithMerg]

This game seems to be missing a crucial aspect of swordplay in the failure to include stamina as a resource. As much as these people are swinging their swords, they'd be very tired long before killing blows landed.

[@ZackTheChiller]

if i understand correctly it actually has a stamina mechanic (think the commentators even mentioned "tired" isabella at one point) but uh it seems to be pretty lenient

[@GeekTalkwithMerg]

@@ZackTheChiller I've never played it and only just discovered the game, but it doesn't look like it has one. Don't misunderstand, the game looks dope af, but without a legit stamina mechanic, I'm less impressed overall.

[@alfieomega]

I have played the game, there is indeed a stamina mechanic, where if players move too much and make it too low, they'll throw exhausted attacks (1:00 is one such example done by Isabella, which is then punished) but as you can see, it is indeed very lenient a stamina rework update was just released though so no more of this going around

[@GeekTalkwithMerg]

@@alfieomega that's awesome to hear. The potential for a game like this is sky high, but realism matters. I think it'd be really cool if, as your stamina drops, everything your character does ie not just attacks, but movement and blocks/parries, etc) gets incrementally slower, but there remains no visible meter.

[@josholiveros3713]

7:19 is insane!!

[@michaelwerkov3438]

how did any sword fighter survive longer than like a year or two

[@One_Andonly-Zulu.1]

Mind bugling right

[@GaldirEonai]

Most didn't. The ones that did were the ones that were very, _very_ good at it, and since by that point they typically went up against people with far less experience, once they started winning they _kept_ winning.

[@Fridabina]

Practice, wearing armor and mercy. Being incapacitated didint always mean death, though you could be crippled for life.

[@badder27com]

If this were on console id play all day long

[@wiktordudek4996]

It will be for sure, after it will go from early access

[@madinge711]

This sounds like golf commentary

[@isaacd.kempton5672]

Is this pc only?

[@wiktordudek4996]

For now - yeah

[@skillo6399]

Game is still on very early development, might expand to more platforms in the future

[@Gaiden-Shinji875]

Imagine this kind of sword fighting in an open world game, it would be so great

[@EnragedOxygen]

This kind of fighting would suck in an open world. It's good because its 1v1, imagine doing all these feints just to get stabbed in the back.

[@Gaiden-Shinji875]

@@EnragedOxygen Then an open world game that is designed around that, or include measures to allow fighting against multiple opponents. That's why I said "this kind of sword fighting" would be great, and not an exact copy of it. Lethal fighting, actual clashing of swords, and based around skill instead of stats

[@Brorrowind]

@@Gaiden-Shinji875 It would become tedious to play very fast though, I could see it working in a more linear story-based game, but in an open world game like Skyrim and it's contemporaries, it would suck. open world games are made to be played for a long time. Not that i'm saying this combat is bad or that open world games have good combat, but theres many reasons this kind of combat is rare at best in open world games.

[@Gaiden-Shinji875]

@@Brorrowind It would be a foundation at least. The problem with open world combat, in most cases, is that it's kinda boring. Just hack 'n' slash and stats. Skyrim combat is one of the worst, but I would imagine a mix of combat of Hellish Quart, Bannerlord or something along those lines, would be more interesting if they could expand on it to work in an open world. I like combat that relies on player skill and tactics, having defensive options along with offensive options. Something a little more gritty and grounded

[@Brorrowind]

@@Gaiden-Shinji875 You should play Dark Souls then.

[@vulpesinculta3593]

Hit boxes seem to be terrible in this game - a lot of those killing strikes are not visually connecting.

[@Juusokakku]

Yeah. A lot of times they don't seem to make sense when they happen, and rewatching the clip makes even less sense. Like 3:35 it doesn't make sense that the sabre would reach all the way to opponents chest (which it apparently did because of the death animation. Maybe those are sometimes incorrect?)

[@loganross1861]

Why a girl? 🤦‍♂️

[@ifeelit4448]

this is lame, people just stand in one place swinging at the air

[@joaoguilherme9671]

they are forcing the auto block to create an opening/trying to defend the faints
