[@Kishibe-sama]

I'm still waiting for Agito vs Gaolang. (Please do it with original japanese dubb not with this english abomination).

[@michaeljcdo335]

I wonder if yall have covered any of the fights from the Equalizer franchise. Equalizer 3 has a great fight scene when he takes out a lieutenant of the Mafioso.

[@atlaspressed]

The Orginal is better, Loen dies at the beginning and end of the fight in the Remake, Kraseir would have killed him when he tried to drew his gun, in the Original he already has his knife out,and Ada shoots the knife away from Kraseir in the original so you criticize on the mount position, only applies to the Remake

[@ankoe0803]

The thing to realize here is that Resident Evil 4 and its remake are products of their respective eras. If the original is made in the spirit of 00s action movies, with tumbling, epic camera flights, maximum epic explosions and other things, the remake is made in the spirit of modern down-to-earth look at media culture. More immersive narrative, more down-to-earth realism, more focus on the characters and their relationships, and everything else is done in the same style.

[@Withjoy2000]

Hey I love your guys breakdowns, I just wanna add something to the spin move Leon did and Krausers kicks. A lot of games that dropped when capcom made re4 were based on an engine made for final fantasy. It’s why their skin has that shine to it and why some of their moves are really wierd and front facing. What makes re4 so cool and what made it cool then was the gameplay. At its time there wasn’t any games that could rival graphics for open map shooter with puzzles. Its audience in Japan and America heard Leon was gonna be the Mc for re4. So in order to help boost poor sales they made him a himbo or action like star. His fights are made to make him look cool and flashy in order to keep the audience happy. In the comics Leon’s knife skills get praised by everyone and Wesker says he the best knife fighter in the world.

[@BlazerK1914]

From rookie cop to a secret agent who roundhouse kicks parasite controlled villagers and knife fights his former commanding officer. Leon Kennedy, like most RE protagonists, is awesome.

[@TheFatalcrest]

XD Leon saw a zombie outbreak and said 'Nah I'm going to get upgraded as harder as possible'

[@hieronymusesquireiii380]

The boulder had no grappling. Unfair fight.

[@kohakusora7474]

Kinda weird cuz Krauser's knife is actually supposed to be larger than Leon's. Even in game, you can actually reach higher places and hit harder than Leon's primal knife.

[@Shadowmonkey]

Tru that. I wonder if these replicas were made by different companies.

[@miserablepileofsecrets]

​@@ShadowmonkeyOh for sure, they probably didn't even have this detail when making it

[@RedtheTricksterFox]

Well, the comparison of the replicas is not a great way to compare. Krauser's replica is from the remake, which scaled down and made the knives more realistic. Leon's replica is from the OG, which was more bulky and probably meant to look cool. Edit: The practice knives they use are about the size of Leon's knife in the remake.

"Talking smack, nipple in tact" This how I hope to walk away finishing any fight

[@Nan_96]

*intact

[@saga2964]

What about the other nipple?

[@austrociking4345]

Something I wish had been addressed about the original fight was the head/body movement of Leon and Krauser. Though the remake has a sequence realistic to the trapping/parrying you perform in Kali training, I think the constant dodging and backing away from the knives from the original fight is more realistic to how 2 people, even trained professionals, would duel it out with knives.

[@jackjax7921]

Lmao saying the OG is realistic is asinine asf. Krauser would have killed Leon then and there.

[@ernestotorres6151]

the knife is done by simply slash even in icepick grip because it was huge enough, the realistic in the remake is how the parrying each other and the kick distance, also the lean up standing even in the original

[@MyDigitalCult]

@@jackjax7921this thought process is entirely dependent on an alternate timeline where Ada Wong is slacking and too late to intervene. which does not happen.

[@user-og8kk2ds5i]

That jacket looks good on Logan.

Thank you! I was trying to find something as close to possible what Leon wears and this is what I was able to find lol.

"It's a business expense." "For a Resident Evil 4 breakdown?" "Yeah... yes. Yes that's exactly why."

[@SaturnFreak]

SCENIC FIGHTS IS BACK BABY!!!! The short weapons breakdowns by Logan were nice appetizers but I missed seeing you guys really get into the nitty gritty details. My favorite martial arts channel HANDS DOWN

[@sinner2133]

1st of all: missed you guys so much. Second, I physically recoiled when I saw that clip at 15:44. I had the “””pleasure””” of seeing real life clips of people getting stabbed in either the carotid or the femoral artery. The way you bleed and your body reacts when you get stabbed in those areas is absolutely terrifying and disgusting. Third of all: RE4R was a goated game, and Krauser is the best

[@saga2964]

That sounds traumatic. I can't even imagine seeing anything like that! Why did you see such terrible footage? How does the body react? Is it diffr than getting stabbed anywhere else? (I can imagine how it bleeds! 😮)

[@JTC161]

YESSS . I been waiting for this breakdowns for years ! Leon vs Krauser is one of the reasons i love knife martial arts. Love these longer breakdown, pls make more

[@deciipher2672]

Loved this new video!!❤

[@empiricalsmut9419]

Awesome video! I love it when experts take the time to look at video games, and actually analyze them in a serious manner, because it clearly took a lot of time and effort for the game developers to put those scenes together. One thing about Krauser, is that since he's super-powered, it's possible he uses a lot of unorthodox techniques because he can afford to, in a way that Leon, as a regular human, cannot. Leon is skilled for sure, but he's not superhuman in the world of Resident Evil. Krauser has enhanced strength, speed, durability, healing, and reflexes, so a headcanon explanation for his over-reaching techniques is that he can afford to throw crazy kicks at Leon, because not only is he likely going to be fast enough to avoid Leon stabbing him in the femoral artery, but the value he gets out of a single kick could potentially be enough to incapacitate Leon. Plus, Leon might not be expecting such wacky techniques; Krauser literally Mario jumps behind Leon to attack him from behind both in the cutscene, and in the gameplay fights; even the most trained professional would be confused as hell, right before getting shanked.

[@Kirusei]

Love that you decided to do both the original and remake instead of just the remake for how new it is

[@josephlane1614]

16:00 while i would generally agree, i'd like to point out that during the usdc championship hosted by rokas of martial arts journey kicks where shockingly effective in their force on force knife sparring. Generally good kicks are hard to catch, especially when someone only has one catching hand available. Your example of a caught kick was a round kick. Krauser primarily used straight kicks, which are harder to catch because theres no arc of travel. Generally round kicks generate more force, but straight kicks tend to be faster and harder to catch while still generating decent force. The main situation in which kicks where useless in this championship was when the armed attacker had a size advantage, as sometimes they would tank the kick to get the better position on the off balanced kicker.

I like how in the original they literally just use knife as (what fantasy games think are) swords and now they use it like well an actual knife fight lol!
