About Assassin's Creed (2007) (source Wikipedia):

The Assassin's Creed games primarily revolve around the rivalry and conflict between two ancient secret societies: the Order of Assassins, who represents freedom, and the Knights Templar, who represents order. Versions of these societies have existed for centuries, with the Assassins seeking to stop the Templars from gaining control of Pieces of Eden, artifacts that can override free will to control people

About Assassin's Creed Valhalla (source Wikipedia):

In 873 CE, political pressures in Norway prompt Eivor Varinsdottir and her adoptive older brother, Sigurd Styrbjornsson, to lead their clan of Vikings to settle new lands in Anglo-Saxon England, as part of the Viking expansion across Europe. The clan comes into conflict with the kingdoms of Wessex, Northumbria, East Anglia, and Mercia over the next several years, as well as the warring sons of the legendary Viking warrior Ragnar Lothbrok, who made up the Great Heathen Army. It is during this time that Eivor meets the Hidden Ones—precursors to the Assassin Brotherhood—and aids them in their fight against the Order of the Ancients—precursors to the Templar Order.

About Assassin's Creed Mirage (source Wikipedia):

Set decades before the events of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Mirage is a "coming-of-age story" following Basim Ibn Ishaq (Lee Majdoub), a street thief who will learn to fight for a cause larger than himself by becoming a Hidden One under the tutelage of his mentor Roshan (Shohreh Aghdashloo)

More context on this breakdown:

Most fights generally can be categorized into either: Duel or Ambush.

Ambush is when only one person knows it’s going to be a fight while Duel is when both people know a fight will happen or is happening.

The first four hidden blade finishers in this breakdown are ambushes, only the Assassins knows there will be an engagement.

The last finisher with Connor is a duel since the opponent is aware a fight is happening.

The hidden blade is much better in ambush rather than duel due its length and mechanics. However, Connor does a good job using ambush like tactics with the hidden blade during a duel, because he distracts and engages the opponent with the main visible weapon: dagger, tomahawk, sword etc… and surprises them with the hidden blade with his finishing blow.

Out of all the Assassins in the series, we personally believe Connor is the most skilled assassin when dueling with the hidden blade. He’s also one of the best at ambush because he muffles his opponent. Ezio and Altair also have great ambushes that incorporates muffles, but aren’t as skilled as Connor when it comes to dueling.

Assassins Jacob, Evie and some of the later Assassins probably have the most unrealistic finishers since they do not muffle and/or it’s too flashy. Realistically, a kidney or abdominal stealth shot with the hidden blade will have the opponent yelling for their last breath. Therefore, a muffle is needed so they do not alert anyone else.

Then again, it’s suppose to be fun right? We just noticed the earlier games in the series did a better job in both showing somewhat realistic ambushes and duels.

All and all, fun series! Should we do more Assassin’s Creed?

Logan is a true man of culture calling Connor his favorite Assassin.

Connor Kenway really is a badass. The way he finishes his opponents make him one of the most iconic protagonist in AC Series. Good to know Logan is a man of culture. Nice video!

Pretty happy to know that Connor isn't forgotten. Dude was a beast in his game.

A cool thing with Connors hidden blades is that when extended out the knifes can turn 90 degrees acting as a hand held blade

[OzzyOzz-qzmw]

Logan, overall thoughts on the Hidden Blade as a weapon?

[dylangeorge]

Connor was the angriest protagonist until I met Bayek. Now they’re tied. Those finishers are fucking brutal

[filippauljohnson]

Ayyyy Connor's my favorite too

Sidenote: I see you with that Assassin-esque drip Logan

[Kingofyoutubable]

Connor is the TRUTH BRUH. Honestly should have made more games with him too… Altiar deserved more as well.

[keanuareeves]

An assassin and insurance company truly never go hand in hand. Nice weapon by the way.

[FFAR]

[sinner]

[doomguy]

Conner is so underrated wish him and shay would fight one day

[angelgutierrez]

In my opinion conner is the best and my personal favorite, his fighting style is unique and equally brutal and well as his ability to take out multiple opponents in succession
Just a great guy all around too

[PCux-jydc]

I think the reason Logan doesn't cover his face like Assassin is bc he doesn't have to.
he's already lethal....

[ezio_Winchester]

As a half breed native and white man myself Connor is my favorite assassin as well. First time I played assassins creed is when I was in the us army and played every game since
