That buckler, however, is not being held correctly. You hold it as far out in front of you as possible with a stiff arm. You don't sweep blows away like in dark souls.
If they wanted to convince me those grips are impossible, they shouldn't have demonstrated it with an anime character.
Hey now, not IMPOSSIBLE, just wrong!
Because in anime, nothing is impossible as long as you have the power of friendship?
Yeah. They don't tell you at all what to do with the 3rd sword.
If you can Raiden your sword, don't let this picture stop you.
Hold that sword with your foot. Do big spins, and swap which foot midair. You can hold a sword with your foot. You are your own master now.
THERE WILL BE BLOOD
Over grip seems like a really great way to slice your hand open
Swords that're meant to be able to be held with that kind of grip usually have an unsharpened bit for that purpose. Alternatively, if you're armored from head-to-toe, just make sure your gauntlets are on tight.
I suppose the point of a longsword is less "wickedly sharp razor blade to slice and dice with precision" and more "wedge shaped heavy piece of metal to drop on people with the hope of finding a gap in their armour"
If you want slicey-dicey, get a super-sharp katana or a saber. If you want fast and pokey, get a rapier. If you want a beating stick that's 80% sharp edge, grab a broadsword.
That whole right side is just quitter talk.
"Correct or wrong" is really clunky, If only there were another word that means the opposite of correct...
yeah, "correct or not correct" is way better
incorrect?
So close
Ah, correct VS stupid. Great point!
