Analysing STELLAR BLADE sword Combat, FOR SCIENCE!

She's very realsitc because she's based on a real model. Oh, you mean the sword combat!

Scientists have demonstrated that nerves spread throughout the body are related to human personality. For example, if a subjects arms are removed, that subject becomes much less likely to volunteer for science tests.

“It humanizes the monster! He’s an understandably villain.” One of the few times I agree with this argument for monsters. 😂

I think this video was one where Shad was thinking ''god I love my job'' the whole time

2:42 you joke about the hair being the "bouncy" focus, but they actually mentioned the director for this game actually delayed it just to get the physics for the hair (yes, actually the hair) to work right so it could be that long. I'm serious.

It's incredibly nice to finally get notifications for this channel.

Ah YES! The sword combat analysis for this game is exactly what I needed!!!

I'm glad to be alive in a time where we can analyse two great combat assets from a video game

Finally somebody gives the actual gameplay some exposure rather than dwelling on the graphics. Thanks Shad.

I just legitimately liked the gameplay

0:28 Jiggle those swords Shad! 🤣

i love the two most important things discussed in this video. two really great points

Shad, I definitely don't agree with all of your politics or worldly beliefs, but I absolutely get along with your sense of humor and passion for all things sharp, pointy, stony, bloody, old, martial, or multiple combinations thereof, and I appreciate the separation of those two things and that this channel is a space for anyone and everyone to share in this interest.

The flip is ABSOLUTELY needed. Do you not notice that she uses the momentum of the flip to bend her knees for the next back dash?

Would you look at that, no notification. A pox on your algorithm, YouTube!

Notification received! The sword-disappearing-into-her-hair trick is probably based on it being a technomagicked hair pin. That way she doesn’t have a huge clunky scabbard slapping her hip all the time, and she can draw it kind of like from a baldric ready for a downward straight or diagonal slash. I don’t follow sportsball so I’ve not heard of 360 vision in that context either, but (at least American) infantry soldiers are taught to “keep your head on a swivel” so as to extend peripheral vision. The thing about peripheral vision is that the part of the eye that sees it, and the part of the visual cortex that processes it, sees motion and other changes really well despite having relatively poor resolution. So, you won’t see for instance that an enemy in your peripheral vision hasn’t shaved but you will see that someone is there when they weren’t there before, or that something has moved that shouldn’t have, alerting you to danger. So I can buy her still having a pretty good idea what the monster is up to while she’s facing away from it in mid-spin. My only complaint with this video is the speeding up of her motion at certain points. Yes, it’s relatively realistic but she just moves too quickly for good analysis. The fact that they add motion blur when she’s moving really fast doesn’t help even when I run the video at half or quarter sped. Other than that I think that you nailed your analysis.

22:53 Correct. It looks like nano tech, that shrinks the sword into her hair-piece. Not into her actual hair though. During the fight with the sword in hand, her hair tie / piece is much simpler and smaller. Putting the sword away her hair piece gets additional parts - representing her "sheathed" sword.

One thing that I miss Shad doing was talking about weapons that would benefit specific fantasy races. My favorite of which being centaurs being suggested to implement two halflings with bows on their backs. It was a ton of fun and I used to listen to them while I was doing some work outside.

i think they hit the nail on the head with this game. i might buy a game system and start to adding this to my channel.

we're so back
