"I want a spear, but I refuse to look like a peasant."

[Puffufuf]

Let’s go, finally someone putting some respect on the Zweihander. Got such a cool fighting style, basically the dedicated sword for fighting multiple opponents

[SwordTune]

Infantry: "Sir Knight The Honourable Chad, why don't you use a spear like the rest of us?"

Sir Knight The Honourable Chad: "Swords are cool."

"I don't date guys shorter than a great sword."

When you are swordsman but don't really want to get too close.

"Greatswords are crude and brutal" or "European blades were blunt and heavy" is simple way of saying "the only thing I know about swordfighting is anime"

[lukediehl]

Can confirm. As an amateur smith, I'll tell you that making a good blade over 30 inches long is not easy. I'm still very proud of my first kriegsmesser, even though it's kind of poorly balanced, and the edge geometry isn't great. I'm just happy that it held together.

"Cruel and brutal 👹”

“It was too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough, it was more like a large hunk of iron.”

[Whosyourdaddy]

Just imagine a guy in full armor swinging that thing around on the battle field. Just the intimidation factor alone

[Commanderflynn]

Am I the only one that loves it when he places the sword on the floor with the "donk" ?

Sword ASMR is the best

Montante is so much fun to train with. I love reading the Godinho manuscript. You should go over how people expect you need lots open space to use a greatsword. but you see far more manuscripts explaining how to use them in city streets, back alleyways and onboard galley ships.

[MalathTheBold]

A Montante is honestly one of my favorite kinds of greatsword, seemingly basic design but surprisingly lightweight and with the right skills and training, it's truly an amazing weapon

[arishiasol]

It frustrates me every time a weapon like this, in games, is portrayed as extremely slow and heavy. Not even my beloved Elden Ring does it right.

Game devs should take a couple lessons in HEMA.

Edit: to anyone saying "it's game balance", balance is just numbers, you can totally have a fast weapon and reduce the attack power. In the end, it's not game balance, it is media misunderstanding a sword. Game of Thrones does it too, and that's not even a video game.

[magortom]

It's the way you talk smoothly while demonstrating without losing breath that I appreciate

[cyrolocker]

Anything becomes a blunt force weapon if you hit hard enough

[michelecastellotti]

If i was a soldier in those eras i would've either asked for a halberd or a spadone (the Italian pocket zweihander). These are such great yet underrated weapons

[Saltier]

If I've learned anything from vermintide, never underestimate the speed of a well utilized greatsword.
