I do just wanna point out, that canonically Raiden is entirely self trained, he was a child soldier in Africa who just ran around cutting people with a machete, and then when he grew up he learned his new style entirely through movies, so at least in Ripper mode when he does the big wild slashes with his whole body, it's kind of explained by that, he reverting somewhat to the style he used as a child.

Well, they are aware of the mechanics I think. Even just noting that these are Cyborg muscles basically makes the point of having to generate force irrelevant, as even a lazy swing from a Cyborg would be way more powerful than a perfectly stanced cut from a human. But the whole point of this is to learn about how close the moves are to real swordfighting techniques, so it's not that they don't acknowledge it makes sense in universe. You wouldn't learn anything if they handwaved it rather than talking about how such a maneuver would look like in the real world with real swords.

Yes and no. They might not be evil per se, but they are still in cahoots with the bad guys.. Killing them, as evil as it may sound, was a necessary step forward. They made their choice out of desperation and pressure, but in doing so they supported the plans of their superiors and Raiden needed to cut ‘em down for it. The point is that they didn’t really have the freedom to choose as we initially thought but their only choice automatically challenged Jack’s.

[@marzipancutter8144]

@@pacifistminigun3987 I think the point was, maybe he shouldn't have went on a rampage straight through Denver in the first place, killing all the local law enforcement he meets? The only justification was that the company they work for has ties to another company that happens to be running illegal operations, but they aren't even necessarily directly involved with that. That's like killing local police because you don't agree that the state is sending troops into another country, the police has little to do with it. Their worst crime in this case was being absolute jackasses, but it's hard to argue seeing how much their brain is basically remote controlled. Anyway the point of the scene is it doesn't matter. By admitting that he doesn't really care how guilty they are because it's fun to cut them up, Raiden effectively sidestepped the issue entirely. Thus, all contradictions in his ideals become irrelevant because he's basically saying "I do whatever I want, fuck you".

@Ai7A IRAl Hey man..... Did I ask?

[@LVL5esper]

@AiSEL IRAl I honestly agree with your aggressive criticisms for their vid. I dont think trying to gauge realism in a game that is anything BUT works in this channel's benefit. Sam was definitely the closest to real life usage of sword techniques. Everything Raiden does for the most part is a fantastical display of "what if" humans are no longer physically constrained. They didnt even grasp the idea behind why Raiden used his heels and legs to swing his sword around, which is basically because the human leg can generate so much more force than the arms. Like come on, the 2 are trained professionals in their respective combat profession and they didnt think of that reasoning on the spot, and instead just basically called it flashy ninja-esque moves in a game. Is it possible in real life? Most likely not and even if one were to try it, they'd need a short blade like a knife installed into their footwear similar to the bladed sandals etc in martial arts movies featuring assasins of some sort. Even then, doing it the why Raiden did is an impossible human feat, theres no comparisons the 2 could have made. Then the whole mincing of the enemies, looks like the guy who played the game forgot the player can actually just perform 1 single precise slash and take out the spinal batteries. The excessive mincing is just there for the players to let out some steam and have fun. I honestly think, this type of video topic can be so much more fun if the 2 combat professionals went in knowing what the game is about and separate reality from fantasy. Like talk about the moveset's inspiration and how it was changed with the added fantastical element. Like Sam's quick draw. It was cool as hell how he pulled the trigger and used the added momentum of the blade, being shot out of the sheath, to quickly slice off Raiden's arm. Thats the real quick draw technique, enhanced with fantastical element. Its also one of the more grounded fantasy elements too which makes one think something like that CAN actually be possible in reality if human constraints were just a tad bit lowered.

"You're still the good guy?" And here we are getting into the deeper story behind MGR:R.

[@user-uv5ld3cx5t]

This is honestly one of the things I did not quite understand why is it a legitimate dilemna. Does Raiden enjoy killing things? As admitted by himself, yes, even if he tried not to think about that. But was Raiden doing the correct thing? Also affirmative. By construction of MGRR's over the top and intentionally laughably evil plot behind the bad guys, there is no situation where Raiden could be seen as the bigger wrongdoer in his actions if not being the only realistic solution (as "realistic" as MGRR's world build is), compared to the actions of Desperado and Armstrong where they abduct and murder children to train as murderous cyborgs, as well as literal false flag operation to start a war with an unfriendly country for the sake of the economy or whatever batshit insane ideology the senator had. Ultimately, Raiden's actions might not be completely altruistic (which he could have just gotten away clean by insisting his "keep one sword drawn to keep the other in the shealth" ideology - "you hired those guys to do your evil deeds, and I don't kill them because it's funny instead of preventing a larger tragedy" - which would invalidate Monsoon along with the entire dilemna in the first place), but when there could not have been a way out into solving the forseeable tragedy bestowed upon everyone involved, Raiden is definitely in the "good" side of the matter and it's not possible to judge it as otherwise.

[@observingrogue7652]

I noticed that too, how his sword can cut through things much thicker then the length of the blades.

Re watching this, Sam really is a bad ass, his movements are insane it’s like he’s reading a book, he know every step to take a person down as smooth and waste no time doing so

[@RedeemerofDark]

I feel like a part 2 could be made to this cause I was interested to see what they thought of the arm staff or how martial arts might work for multiarmed individual but I also love what we already got to see to for sure.

This game playing was so FUN!!!! The music, the action, the gameplay... damn even remembering is giving me shivers. You felt so awesome, sick overpowered if you played right. So good.

[@DarthDragon007]

The blades used in Rising are High Frequency blades, using electricity to vibrate the blade at such high speeds it weakens the molecular structure of what it contacts before cutting through it. Meaning it can literally cut through basically everything.

One correction, this was all Platinum amd zero Kojima. He himself wanted to be hands off but the team at Konami couldn't do a game of this style so they hired Platinum to do a ton after they built the basics. They did blade mode and the cutting mechanics but all of the flair is the Platinum touch.

[@ghost656metal8]

Kojima made the story for this game, and Platinum made every thing else in the game

[@efenba]

AFAIR Kojima worked as Consultant

[@M7S4I5L8V2A]

@@efenba Yeah that's to be expected since it's his series. Even though Itsuno is the director that everyone believes in he still talks to Kamiya, almost 20ys later, about Devil May Cry. Even though Kojima wanted out the people making the game had to have been respectful. Similarly so for Kamiya and everyone else at Platinum considering they're making a canon spin off to a beloved series.

[@justjuniorjaw]

the part where Kojima made the story is debatable as there has been discussion on whether Kojima even touched the game story.

[@npc6817]

@@justjuniorjaw he did but it was changed here and there to fit platinum's vision, still he approved of it and has said he liked the game and wished there could've been a sequel even after he left.

[@danielprieto9977]

@@griffingower1883 Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge was a relaunch of the third game, they re-release it because they had a lot of criticism for the lack of difficulty and the excess of linear combat, it wasn't a bad game but it was a disappointment for the fans who knew the saga, I recommend you to play the previous ones if you are interested.

[@devonnguyen6830]

[@weebiest239]

One thing that they forgot to note during the Jack the Ripper scene, is that Raiden is able to cut all the way through those guys because his sword is a high tech blade called a high frequency blade. It vibrates at such an intense speed that it basically chainsaws it's way through things at lightspeed.

[@TheGod0fCookies]

I love how they said Sam was like a Kenjutsu practitioner if he got cyborg enhancements, they explain it more in the story and his DLC too. The thing with Sam is that he basically has no cyborg parts at all, pretty much just an arm brace for an injury. He's just that good he can beat the heck out of everyone without needing upgrades ;D

(note:Historian is the choice that makes most sense when inviting someone to react to historical games beside a veteran.Sword expert and guns expert are close second.)

[@rllght]

Thank you so much for bringing back again Mr. Huor and Mr. Mok for another fun break-down vid about sword fights and skills! The more I watch their reactions and banter, the more I want to see them in the future! They are one of the best team for a hilarious yet professional view on martial arts/sword-fighting themed video games one can ask for! On the other hand, I really hope you included the fight with Mistral as well. That is a fun fight between Raiden and the octopus-like enemy, very dynamic and full of over-the-top stunts to talk about in my opinion.

[@quentinbrown9300]

5:43 I love the salt in Laurence's voice when he says "yes..." and yea, a kneeling stance isn't the best when you're fighting something as agile as Bladewolf Quick kenjutsu (Katori-Shinto-Ryu in this case) tidbit: Kneeling isn't really practical in general, it's an aftereffect of certain moves where you would slide your blade down past the opponent and get on your knees to hit their legs, which is a really cool technique if it hits, it just leaves you really vulnerable afterwards.

[@soidus]

[@Tiagotaf]

[@artiscool6873]

Sword Experts: It's not realistic. Me: But its cool....

[@aleksandarsiljanovic1468]

@Ai7A But the game isnt fairly realistic at all (do we have cyborgs and big robotic beings running around with specially designed electrical high frequency swords, nanomachines (son 😂) that we can use in warfare? He was only wrong that you cant cut bigger surface areas in that universe) Of course not, dont get me wrong, i love this game so much but come on man, you're literally spamming everywhere that they are so wrong and completely ignorant?? Literally the dude on the right side knows more about samurai and different real life fighting techniques than probably anyone in this whole comment section, they said that its really cool multiple times, they need to make a comparison to the real life bcs whats the point then? They would only say "it looks cool and thats awesome" until the end of the video 😂. Oh, yea, they aren't trying to trash this game at all, the dude on the left side loves it so much

[@aleksandarsiljanovic1468]

@Ai7A mate, who asked about Mensa( i know the meaning behind Mensa, the explanation is not needed)? You really don't need to brag about that and you shouldn't. So, they can make some parts from that game in real life, that just proves my point, it still doesn't exist, no, they were not trashing this game at all, they were only making some comparisons to the real life (as we know it currently, it still doesn't exist even if some PMC's can somewhat make it), you should watch this channel more, every single time when they invite a professional to make a comparsion is literally the same as the dude on the right side, saying how some parts are completely ridiculous but it's really cool in that specific format/medium, it's not their point to bash on the game in this video at all.

[@aleksandarsiljanovic1468]

@Ai7A But the point of this video was exactly only about the stances and techniques from a professional view(about those specific things), game is from 2013, this video is from 2020, maybe in the future they are going to invite some robotic and biomechanic engineers, you never know, they would kinda limit their content if they invited engineers and professionals about techniques in a single video, keep in mind this is their source of income, they need to "stretch" their content, it sucks but that's the way it is in this shitty world, almost everything is about money.
