I will give you a spinal tap and feed it to raccoons
The most important part ioooooo the one 1️⃣ hour of work is the rest and I will get my own bed and a blanket to go with my sleep and my pillow to get ready and my pillow for my baby shower 🚿 tomorrow
Guys, random question but do you play lock or delock ?
lock personally
I am not a big believer of this
mostly lock unless i have to pull off a disarm or throw which requires not locking on
What is that?
it requires locking in 😎
i lowkey hate the pitchfork
I am going on my way to get you a coffee now so if I can 👌 I’ll see ya 👋 in a few years
Yes okay and even some weapons need delock and others not but i was wondering if there was a strat
Because i feel like locking is forcing your aim to be on the body and not the head
i cut a guys hand off and the cut was so clean he didnt even realize it
no blood either
I’m going on the boat to the democratic people’s Republic of Korea
it just makes it more cumbersome to aim for the head
you still can tho
I’m going to get the car 🚘 wash today and I’ll bring the trailer to the house so I don’t need it tomorrow morning but I’ll bring the truck back to the shop tomorrow afternoon if that’s okay
The saturation hurts
Please don’t leave me
Someone speak
no, going to bed
youre weird bro
GN
Gn
you broke his foot with sheer aura
homie thought he could pounce me
that “shut up” sfx brought a core memory in me
i mean didnt he just jump like all his 2 legs were off the ground. he tried to jump kick me?
he tried to do the impossible
but failed
I mean I’d even do the same
c’mon who wouldn’t now
brutal efficiency
Just seen Cr1TiKaL upload a video on his second channel of this game a few mins ago if anyone's interested hadn't realized he played it before
oh i will certainly watch it later
headbutts are the best thing in this game
nice
super duper clean
nice
how much name changes are you gonna get
also your like
really blue
that hurts my eyes
how what
as many as turkey mod feels like i guess
its not me changing my own name
forces beyond my own
i still need to change the blue
i finally found a color pattern i like btw
he can change it anyways
dont bite the hand that feeds you
i dont mind it honestly
which one
its a fun litlle thing between us
between you me and him
look at what my name is now
because of him
iam cryptic
eldritch horror
mf became the green rake
booyah
looks fancy eh?
ye yes
guy is build
i'll just change the color of the shoes to something darker
you are holding the sword.... WRONG!
the shoulders there are nuts lmao
i dont think you can change the shoe color
i tried it and it didnt work

Halloween update, zombified willies
its for AURA ONLY!!!!
@azure mirage talking about this guy 👍
We are the 49th in education so ironically you're not wrong
Like his upper torso is wide af
Yeah its a sithole
its from carrying willie in all small buhurts
yes xD
Yup
i mean it is a greataxe
michigan or whereever it is
this lobby starts to feel like war thunder, where people just say ''skill issue'' lmao
and my education is bad
that should prevent it from hooking into the nearest atom of flesh
the joke is that most people in war thunder dont give you tipps and dont help you, but rather just call everything you do a skill issue
COOL!
and doing nuke damage
sounds like some game community i heard, from a game called halfsword
LAS VEGAS ISNT A STATE?
No thats chicago
(then again im not american, so yeah)
Chicago is a state
Are you fr
i mean i knew it was a city dont get me wrong
I think uncontacted tribes know where Vegas is
but some states here have the same name in their capital
so i figured if vegas is big as shit it MUST be the name of the state
fuck if i knew idaho was a thing
no they dont, but they deffinetily know what gambling is xD
quite a few actually
what nation do u main bro
its more common than i tought
China, I mostly do air
I stopped long ago btw
ew
cause the game just pissed me tf off
I only do china cause I chose at random and I didnt wanna be part of the sheep herd going to russia and USA
wanna squad up(i only do props)
im horrible at the game, trust
I dont even have 500 hours
and I dont use any tactics, im a pure 100% arcade gamer
poor creature
im a tryhard who uses manual engine controls on every plane
(this is probably why I suck but aye, grind just aint my thing)
"welcome to Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro" "welcome to São Paulo, São Paulo" "welcome to Amazonas, Amazonas"
- im not a nerd for planes or tanks or whatever, so what did I expect tbh xD
the goddamn app didnt ping this
I've got other games like half sword and toribash for that
so yeah we may have a dumb logic
"welcome to shithole, New york" like they do it all over the place yknow?
on a side note, they know where vegas is because its where they were driven out from
why these shiitholes in particular bro
its the first ones that came to mind lmao
but yeah two of them are a cod lobby and the other is Ark survival evolved
you sound brazillian
nope
im croatian
damn thats FAR
brother dont get me started
very dangerous subject right there
spare me i got no clue what im talking about
i just looked on google maps and saw you guys are hoggin all the ocean
how do you fix the fatal game erroe in the gauntlet
remove blood entirely
1992 to 1995
after a short google search, good for you guys. I give only respect
I love Albania
worlds first
nah cause why tf did OVRDTH feel it necessary to force a keybind that has no purpose onto 2 of the only keys you need for fighting in halfsword, why would i ever want to press Alt + S to load my loadout during a match.
fr i can barely stab without the windows sound going off
sure you can rebind it but it doesnt matter cause it always reverts to alt + s every time you close the application
pain and suffering
i was just starting to have fun w the halberd then i did it, loadout gone forever
also the preloaded loadouts ovrdeath gave aint even good
i just close it if i decide i want to alt
OHHHH IS THIS WHY
this is my first time actually using this type of poleaxe
I always wondered why windows sound went off when i did alt s 😭😭😭😭
abusing commoners with premium weaponry
honorless
i am practicing
its not even my loadout
you can tell
And thats why sometiems my loadout wilk have louded a next round when i didnt want ut to LNFAOO
its not black and yellow
like why does it even register keybinds if its not the active tab in use, if i alt f4 the game it wouldnt alt f4 ovrdth or anything else? so why this one random keybind that helps nobody
do i at least get a compliment for my sick ass pommel stab
the fence is a great weapon
rarely see downward pommel strikes ngl
i prefer it more like a
random bs go lol
playing 4d chess and moving like the wind
way too good
can you even equip the lantern or are you just manifesting it as needed
as the god of laterns I've always got one when needed
I can summon them on will
blessed be the lantern god
really??
LOL WHAT WAS THAT
lmfao
idek who got the video originally but its so fking good 
i find all overhead throws have a tendency to hit your hand or your head at some point and lose speed
throwing knife vs commoner champion
commoner boss a bitch frl
why did blud try to aurafarm instead of killing your ass
he was also shocked
he was shooketh
he was wondering why you would do such a foolish thing
the call of duty throwing knife:
yes
cant wait for crossbow, itd be satisfying to just nail commoner boss in the forehead w it
the hardest one to do is tossing a knife in the air catching it, Then throwing it getting a kill
nice
Double style points if you flip it to the other hand
Ignore my friends
hell yes
well? are you that blue one?
Peasant with a poleaxe, how’d he get it
your mistake is assuming the commoner boss will return
ill miss him if he doesnt 
he might be a dick sometimes but he gave us that drive to be better
me and him are good friends and sparring partners

dafuq
this followed by "ill just have to enjoy him while he lasts" did NOT sound right at all
he tried to mikiri counter my sword
i will enjoy him while hes still on this plain of existence of which i may duel him freely and learn from his abilities
playing around with the commoner boss while these assclowns complain about his difficulty
hes kinda fucked but yeah
lmfao the scythe boss just grabbed me while i was low stam, and then baned me. he literally grabbed me, fell to his knees, and then threw me over his knee so hard he broke my back and i died
he's difficult but not some insane crazy impossible thing
no not at all, hes just a weird choice for commoner tier
with a general idea of timing and learning how/when to attack and when to dodge he's fine
especially given his size id have just given him a regular longsword lmao
commoner is the sword boss yea?
hand removal service
i tell people all the time
if you're so concerned about him being op just swap his loadout with veteran boss
like tf
give the greatsword to veteran boss and make him actually difficult but not overly so
then mace and buckler to still present a challenge to unarmored people
without the insta kill
yea the commoner boss isnt terrible. but the difficulty goes from medium to very hard to medium to easy which is a weird progression
its really just that against an unarmored body, the greatsword is absurdly good at cutting
after the third gauntlet commoner boss becomes simply a 6'4 willie with more range
me personally i'm goated so i use a kitchen knife against him for fun if i'm not parry practicing
^
i couldnt do that lmfao. but i usually win against him
wish we can spawn bosses on the sandbox mode in EA
when do you guys imagine the announcement for the release date is going to be made?
wait until he cant swing back for a sec
sometimes he does those freaky followup attacks or just throws his sword out straight towards you
but other than that yeah
just learn them
yea he does be doing this fr
'just learn them' my uncle in christ he usually does them without any extra swing or motion, literally just motions the sword in your direction(usually at your legs which leads to instant dismember)
completely disables his ability to backswing and if he doesn't die then it prevents him from continuing to use another weapon
issue with skill
i still beat him just fine and continue beating him, im just saying theres more to the argument than purely player skill with all the variables in question
i think ur exaggerating his weird swings ngl
I have a question
sorry i didnt even mention the part about bladed weapons just having broken contact damage
but thats not him specifically
thats all of them
I really wanna know when it’s coming out
dw we arent even waiting on the full game yet
I want this and beyond sand box to coem out soon
This year apparently 😆
still waiting on the next version of pre-launch testing
Oh
bait out the swing and then bait out the follow up
then bait out the follow up of his follow up
thats really the method lmao
simple
we fought earlier btw
that is a faker
he is using the wrong shade of green
an imposter among us
yes..
tf
emogi 
our brains are... shrinking?
its estimated theres enough microplastics in your brain to make a plastic fork
our brains are... growing
reminds me of that loud ringing and pressure in your skull when you realize the ramifications of your actions

I just had a willy become a jedi out of nowhere so I put him down
his block was beautiful
I'm fairly certain I died
back to clip spam
i always say, willie might be pretty bad at fighting but sometimes he just pops off
hello
made a kriegsmesser, very fun to use
amazing
but how do you get that guy
its just a custom loadout with black clothing
its free mode?
yeah, I think you can only load custom loadouts in free mode
why is this weapon legit overpowered
you need to use this mod to load custom loadouts
https://www.nexusmods.com/halfsword/mods/11
alr
it's a big metal pole with a heavy wide end and a spiky end
that's why
thank you mr solutions
hi
after that you can download custom loadouts from nexus if you dont want to make them yourself. This is one of my loadout packs, it has instructions at the bottom of the description that tells you how to add custom loadouts to ovrdth selector.
https://www.nexusmods.com/halfsword/mods/106?tab=description
i like stabbing people with the pointy side
pushing them over and seeing them bleed a lot is pretty funny
that weapon is really weird
you can just hold it in halfsword and charge through abyss, almost always wins until breastplate armor
if your at running speed you make contact before they can react lmao
yeah that’s my go to method
basically a mancatcher
are the crossbows real i saw them on tiktok
soon
its like every part of the weapon does the same damage
sick
anytime before newyears
going on six months no update
why are the blunt weapons so bad am i just using them wrong
#game-footage-🎮🎥 guys pretty pls watch my cool clip
you only really start losing it on the 700th hour
when I first started the game
I was so stuck on the first boss
had to watch a tut
they are pretty good ngl
wheres faq
when i use them it takes like 500 hits just to knock them down but with a sharp weapon i just get 1 lucky hit off and they instantly die
are you hitting them in the head?
sometimes
most blunt weapons can 1 shot to the head regardless of armor
just gotta hit it right
how do i hit it right then
distancing is very important, to make sure you hit directly on the head and not the haft
whats a haft im not medival armor expert 💔
imagine getting killed by a training sword
I would first break their legs with kicking them
and then I will finish them off
by cutting their head off
oh a haft is just the pole of the mace/hammer
👍
wolverine claws mod
oh
this clip is an example tho, see how im kinda hesitant on when i throw a committed swing? its me trying to guage distance before fully striking
yea let me try aiming for the head more
what blunt weapon are you using specifically?
then cut their head off
like a mace, warhammer, polehammer, that kinda thing
I also cut someones throat with it?? Or maybe it just hit the neck so hard it kind of simulates that
usually the one handed ones my pc is too buns to run the heavily armored fights good (which have the pole ones)
fair lol, make sure your on DX11 it tends to be less taxing for graphics
yea im on minimum graphics and dx11
i have to make blood 0 because any blood instantly fatal errors my game
i respect the willpower to still try and have fun with the game in that kinda situation
it may run at 30 fps but it runs
ill admit im not very good with 1h blunt weapons, there are some players who are nutty with it so it has potential for sure
my old pc had like the most insane graphics card but it had garbage everything else, now my new pc has amazing everything else but genuinely useless graphics
😂 i know the feeling, mine was the same way before i upgraded
why couldnt you salvage the good parts from the old one
because the new computer is way smaller
oh
the graphics card of the old one is like literally the size of the new one
had this 2016 alienware that was an absolute tank, just refused to die until the motherboard had completely fried, saved the GTX 960 graphics card and put it into a new fully built PC and it ran like hot junk until i got a new gpu
..wait i had that same computer lol???
respect
dual wield it
i think mine was more like 2014
im on a HP EliteDesk 800 G4 SFF i just need to get better fans atm
loud and inefficient
i would legit still be running that PC if it werent for that Dell or whoever makes it doesnt really support other parts, like iphone vs android kinda thing
i genuinely dont know what my new one is my dad got it off of ebay for like 50 buck
if it works it works
i'm running a salvaged intel xeon
with a gtx 1050 ti
bro ran right through him lmao
workstation pc?
dam
mine regularly goes high when doing simple tasks
actually i wonder if my old pc graphics card can be put in my new one i gotta check
the thing is that the old one is like gigantic
top 10 character arcs
you still havent said which card it is
i dont know what it is
its one thing beating this guy but being able to parry him without him just blowing straight through your guard is wild
then its shit
its buried away in my closet
the king cares not for his opponent's superior strength or reach
i think you kinda just redirected his swing over your head and down the other side
ok im gonna go dig through my closet and find it but i dont think itll work
if it was a static parry/block it woulda gotten blown through
it was more diverted
i think
ask and receive
colpo di villano strikes again
this shi so dusty ima discover a new disease
alright man cmon now 😭
still have no idea what the secret is to moving your sword so smooth
Maybe its cuz my sensitivity is lowk high
low sensitivty and crouching
when i try and do that shit its like im blocking him with one of those extendable plastic lightsabers
you need to receive the strike near the hilt of your sword
any idea when next update is out?
BRO im doing that it
ig im doing something wrong tho
you also need to somewhat swing it in the direction of the strike
to at least neutralize some of the force
it's a lot easier to parry if you dont try to stop an attack completely. Willie has weak wrists, so its better to try to move it offline rather than stopping it completely
just be goated
thats just the realistic approach really. deflecting is better than parrying
its better to try to move offline in real life too
deflecting is parrying
see thats prob where i get caught, i try and swing into a parry to get more strength into it but end up just swinging past or slightly too far in some way
or autoblock just rotates my shit to block my knees yknow how it be
autoparry needa die
i mean blocking
i totally agree im just saying how clueless does complete stop parries on the commoner boss of anyone
its facked
cracked even
not really, static blocks are a lot easier than trying to control your opponent's blade in real fencing
stepping offline isnt controlling your opponent's blade
ok bro try fully stopping a greatsword with a toothpick
I just started using the buckler in Half Sword and I'm having so much fun with it
everytime i say something someone always comes out of the shadows with a terrible rebuke, its honestly hilarious
it is if you're controlling their blade. I wasnt talking about moving your body offline, I meant moving the opponent's blade offline
you can do that parry without the offline step
riskier tho
and for no real reward
lets just all agree that stepping into, against, away from, and around parries is just part of the art
oh you literally address the very thing I asked about already lol: #halfsword-chat-⚔ message
like the butter on bread
genuinely i cannot think of a time where i wouldnt recommend footwork with a parry
two years ago yeh
i wish you could wear more shields on the arm like the lil pavise thing
thats a superbly effective piece of armor in a fight
like different shapes?
you can wear.. every shield in game on your arm
you know what i mean-
multiple shields?
armor made of nothing but bucklers, imagine
i really dont
right yknow how knight tier has them lil jousting shields
not bucklers but same deal
the targette thingy?
ok gang i have recieved the dustiest graphics card known to man, and it is a gtx 1060
it MIGHT fit?
the one that straps around your neck
that's the only kind of shield you really do that with in this point in history
so we probably wont be getting any more
I've been trying to imagine exactly this since they feel so good around my belt ingame
other than like maybe a small adarga
you could totally just slide the small pavice further up your arm
but that's not a thing people did because that's impractical
like one big flat pauldron
that's what the ecranche is for
no its cause people were losers back then smh
didnt even have labubu's like why tf are we recreating them anyways
im pretty sure the strap at the back would stop it from moving up before your hand gets clear of the front of it
you prob right im just dreaming
you would just be using it normally but in a really uncomfortable way
i get to fight with my ecranche this saturday!
xartosh are you asking for different shapes with the same strap mechanism?
yeah man ecranches are the only ones like that
do you do harness fencing?
yeahhh maybe just different shape ecranches would be ideal then
saturday will be my first time, and only light harness
that's like the only shape they come in man
i hate to break it to you
ive seen other historical examples of it being done with other shields
yeah those are more like adargas
maybe not this timeframe or country
that's iberian
ohhhh
which i dont even know if iberia will make it in game
oh yeah cuz it didnt exist yet right
does Iberia even exist anymore
i forgot
well yeah the landmass did still exist
its just kind of far from the setting
bro
they didnt exist iberia yet /j
WOOPS
Nice. Harnischfechten looks like good fun but I could barely afford my hema kit, I have no idea how you guys can afford to buy real plate
they didnt discover iberia yet*
its all europe, every country is like a 2 day horse ride from each other
LOL
The Iberians have some beef with the Baron
real shit God was off his rocker putting that many different branches of people that close together 
so they traveled the way
no wonder everyone was fighting
i mean aragon was in posession of naples at this point in time
you've got to be joking
that's true
it's literally connected to france
i signified it here
swordshop overlays !
i jest
ts was another message........... pmo
i disarmed all his weapons
I was correcting that message
Forgivve me Sam
so he seemingly killed hisself out of shame?
Let not thy hand be heavy upon me
bro's just bawling over the railing now
thee
isn't thy proper here being possessive though
idk thats literally what the dude says
thy is correct
it's entirely possible that thy and thee were pronounced not so differently by those middle english boneheads
thee is archaic but does the guy not say that?
It could be a pronunciation thing like Sam said
i mean he might be talking about the hand of God or some crap lmao
I swear I hear "thy" when I remember it
this makes sense
let not your hand be heavy upon me
let not you hand be heavy upon me
basically
we've reached the conclusion but i swear I hear thy in the audio
thy is part of your leg
I've seen a few of those aegis breastplates with the tassets before and they look amazing but they're like seven hundred dollars Canadian and I'd need to get them shipped all the way to Scotland lmao
"the" is a determiner
bro why did they invent the word like that
"joe" is yo mama
thats ass
i got the medieval one
and the barbute
remember, english is 3 languages and a dead language all stood in a trench coat trying to look like one whole language

Latin was so good we still use it what, 2, 3 thousand years later?
i wonder if the ancient egyptians spoke it
you gonna be fighting in that on saturday??
Holy groin protection
yeah
maaan, its gonna do a good job i know it but it hurts to see such nice armor going to combat
who produces that garment?
all shiny and clean and without dents
it doesnt have an in-period name as far as historians know so its colloquially known as the "dick protection unit" or "DPU"
the jacket under it?
lol
looks good, and I like the spes jacket, I dont see many with full patterns over here
where do you live in the world that even hosts armored battles
that's actually smart
tennessee
bro.
u should host one
ill attend
as a spectator
it looks pretty neat as a faux-armor
thats actually awesome ofc its the bible belt citizens doing this
I really like your take on that
is that a pair of the newest spes lobsters?
think so
i could probably find some people doing it around Vancouver
here's my cool Knight Belt .
all the barmaids be staring
that knights of saint john insignia is from the 1940s
have you had any issues with them? I was thinking about getting a pair but a few people in my club had them basically fall apart within a few months of getting them
why does the slow motion but you out of breath instantly?
balancing
holy schmolie
nah they work very well, never had a hurt finger in em even when stuff slides through the gaps
oh im not near there
looking to get some gabriels or a custom index finger gauntlet tho
maybe i can join via zoom meeting
might be a dumb question seeing as you just posted w a longsword but is that what youll be fighting with or any other weapons?
why add it if its gunna be useless, i cant even use it for a second without it instantly doing it 😭
longsword, dagger, ecranche, pollax, and pollax reversed to act as a spear probably
I've given up on 5 finger gloves at this point. Wasted like £200 buying two pairs of those red dragon dreadnoughts when they released last year and almost broke my finger using them with steels
i wish my arming sword got here soon enough to bring it along
slowmo is pretty damn good. it needs to use up stamina to balance the gameplay
I get super duper precise moves with it
you should totally try and get some footage and post it here, id love to see how you do
Stepping back to recover is sufficient enough for me
couldnt you just only do it in the gauntlet and let the free mode be free, i wanna have cool slow mo fights
i really want a pair of these custom ones
too much power...
with power... comes great joebility...
my girlfriend, art teacher and best friend (retinue) will be there so there will probably be ample footage
hell yeah
here’s how the last event went
you make an interesting piont though
gigachad spear stance
Holy polearm
it's a fundraiser where we go out there and whoever brings a can of nonperishable food gets a free sword fighting lesson
I dont really see the point of having digits on a longsword glove tbh. In my experience, they get in the way of mobility more than a mitten
Very wholesome
i want to be able to do bicorno, thumb the blade for mezzanos, and finger the guard for thrusts
bicorno is hard to do in mittens
Also easier to use your phone mid-battle with the digit seperation
Is it possible to turn Willie into an effective battle bot?
no shit yes
summon in a couple of peasants
make em ur bodyguard
give em any weapon
there you got a small battle group
I think it's very mitten dependent. Before I got my own gloves, I was borrowing a pair of those shoukat mittens, and I could barely move in them even though they were the right size for me. I got a pair of SparringGlove long cuffs for myself and they're a lot more dexterous than most other gloves I've tried. Obviously you cant put a finger over the guard, but I mainly do Lichtenauer stuff and thumbing the blade is easy enough in my gloves
i cant do anything but hold the sword normally with mine lol
yeah the spes lobsters are a bit chunky
I've always wanted to get a hounskull that's fencing-safe, but actually fencing in a full helmet sounds like it would suck
Watch Untitled by amogus64 and millions of other Half Sword videos on Medal. Tags: #halfsword
I get stuffy enough in just a mask lmao
i need ts
I’d imagine visibility would be affected in a helmet too compared to a mask no?
First pic sounds like he'd say half fword
yeah you can barely see a fencing mask when you're wearing it, a helmet is much more intrusive
we had a lesson series on armored spear where we taped over our masks to simulate visors
Do you have to wear a mask under a helmet or any kind of inner eye protection?
why pointy thing in front of eye
A tab to pull it up while in gauntlet
-looks cool
-can have vision without sacrificing too much space
most harness fencing helmets I've seen have a fencing mask mesh welded behind the eye slits
for harness fencing a lot of people opt to have inner eye mesh, some people ask not to be hit in the eyes, and some people dont ask to not be hit in the eyes and dont have inner eye mesh
ooo makes sensecuz u can see thru the lil slits
2012 Tournament of the Phoenix in Poway, California presented by World Joust. Featuring a pollaxe duel between Marcus Hamel and Luc Petillot. The first to score three blows is declared the winner.
dude got busted in the face immediately
It makes sense to try and hit the eyes regardless that’s just dangerous, I’d assume there isn’t much intent to aim for the eyes aside from in technique practice
Losing a hand being the end of a run no matter what fuckin sucks so hard
Ig it depends on helmet but it’d be nuts to not have any inner protection anyways
Could always happen by accident, I’ve even done it in this game by mistake easily enough
i want to get that toothy helmet and then have some removable eye mesh under it
that is insane
I get it's for the sake of realism or whatever but it's so annoying
@wheat leaf watch this
Get mesh sunglasses
I'm all for low-gear sparring but that's like painting a target on your face
well in that tournament it was illegal to hit in the eyes
perfectly poleaxe shaped hole, cant blame the guy
It’s hard to tell, was it butt-end or point?
Dude just had to walk in front of the camera
point
Oh nvm he just straight swung into the visor
the axehead specifically
Bro has a gigantic eye area tbf but still shitty thing to do first hit
oh hey i just spotted my fencing instructor in this pic lol
i almost forgot he was there
Sitting or standing?
Drippy as hell
dont get me started on chaperons man
always wanted one of them for my fencing mask
i need to get gauntlets and an arm harness and a doublet and some maille and an armet
almost in that order..
gauntlets doublet arm harness maille armet
That’ll be pretty damn cool
I wanna get into hema and get armor at some point, ik there’s a really decent school where I live but it’s like 1.5 hour drive one way
best thing to do in that case is to attend as often as you can manage and try to gather a few people in your local area to practice in between sessions
finding a good hema club can be a pain in the ass
You know skallagrim on YouTube?
yeah
my mom bought me my first round of classes as a surprise birthday gift in seventh grade
literally got drafted as a paige lol
either way hes a pretty big hema and medieval related stuff youtuber, he went to this gym for some years and made a bunch of videos with them a few years back, so id say they are pretty good
why does my game keep crashing when i die in the abyss?
the game hates you
delete and never come back at playing it
dang
@boreal path have you ever any revolution era fencing, smallsword, sabre, broadsword etc?
id like to try those styles of fencing too, sabre seems super fun
i did broadsword, didn’t enjoy it
the footwork feels too restrictive
i like my 15th century stuff
yeah broadsword is definitely a tricky one when you're used to the medieval stuff
I always end up falling back on meyer dussack stuff when I do later era weapons like that, but smallsword is the exception for me
love smallsword
can’t wait for my beautiful arming sword to get here
i love fighting my instructor because his gear is also very faux-armory
its almost as if its the 15th century ingame
huh
idk ive just woken up and am being sarcastic
LOL
lmao
Beautiful photo all around
i thought you meant the footwork ingame is 15th century and im like uhhhh yeah thats coz it is XD
Composition's like of a painting
did you see this one i posted earlier
peak accidentalrenaissance
lol
even down to the background
Willie seems to struggle walking on his new leg, but I think the arming sword is doing its job at motivating him
I ain't knowing too much of this technical stuff but I love how broadswords look
i do viking reenactment from around 850-950CE, i wouldnt mind doing more middle or late medieval stuff tbh
yeah i had to borrow one and it was also my first time using light gloves
I do stone age reenactment by picking up rocks from my front yard
it was a very new experience all around
at a workshop i attended i was taught how to fight with big axe like theoretical vikings would
Holy sapper axe
fancy jackets are nice but I am a proud proponent of extremely boring kit with colourful socks
it was interesting but i wasn’t sure how i felt about such a reconstructive heavy source
very sleek
im still only rated for a 1H spear, i get that was the primary weapon for most people but then but honestly i cant stand it
i love how socks are almost like HEMA coats of arms lol
Whatcha mean by reconstructive heavy source? Pardon mon ignorance
it’s a modern fencing system basically but it works with viking weaponry and uses viking adjacent terms
it was authored by one of the guys there
Ah
is HS going to have lore or will it just be senseless killing
it was pretty legit but as far as i could tell it was all just conceptualized during sparring and not based off anything from the period
there’s lore drops in the recent #announcements posts
The sneakpeeks imply plenty of lore, no?
good catch, the sock are our club colours lmao
our club did that for a while but then it fell out of domestic fashion and so i went with my own colors (black and yellow)
my instructor still usually uses the club colors tho
I hope the lore will be explicit unlike exanima which has the storytelling of fnaf 💔
What kinda axe is this? I noticed a similar black axehead in the fundraiser compilation
And how heavy is it
not many people do it in my club either, but I do a lot of tournaments and it's nice to have something recognizable so I can pick myself out in group photos
who is who
Good point
nvm I'm an idiot
it’s a generic english(?) pollax, it’s not super heavy - we traded axes around during the demonstration, that one was one of the less favorable ones because it wasn’t a bearded axe like intended
oh
Bearded axes are pretty neat
I think I loved them ever since I first saw them back in 1066
Yooo I'm Sam's friend now
This is an honor after the incident where I jestfully yet vaguely claimed Iberia wasn't discovered yet by this time
Goed nighte
#game-footage-🎮🎥 message hehehhe
Just a miscommunication where I joked about it and misplaced the "/j" signifier
I didn't even realize we have a footage channel
I'm so used to people posting clips here
Watch my clip
fire sword
Death and dishonor upon my shish
Any chances we can get merch for Half Sword? Part of me wants to think that Willie could exist in either plush or drawing mannequin form
HS branded suit of plate armour
why are fists lowkey goated
I am Thebob
😔and my tummy hurt
behold willie-copter
i wonder if you pulled that off in carnage if it'd take out other willies
"I cast testicular torsion!"

i cast, stomp of instant victory
I found out why the Executioner covers his face
Did u just just block the axe with an arm
Did abyss demo get updated or something
You used to be unkillable with damage slider all down
By abyss demo i mean the older version
Now if you get a cut on your hand you bleed out and die
just saw moistcr1tikal playing half sword
he was so ass, but i love the guy
hey it takes some practice to play the game
Colpo di villano
Is that the name of the move?
Oh, Italian, I know nothing about the italians, but very cool.
I do like learning longsword techniques from any and all teachers. So it's cool to see some stuff I know nothing about being mentioned.
me too
It def covers a lot, even people who think they are doing zero technique have some semblance of the art
I own a longsword, but don't know how to use it. I guess I might know a few German techniques, as in just know-of, but I've never had time to practice with them. It's got a war edge on it, and it just sits as a decoration on the wall of my desk.
a similar kenjutsu parry would be the yanagi-uke
The most I know is guards/stances.
let their overhead/shomenuchi deflect off to your side and roll the sword right back at them whilst sidestepping
I know you're quite an expert at that Clueless, lmao
I've seen a good majority of your overhead clips.
overheads are fun and great to parry
Yes.
They're also the one of the easiest to see, in my opinion, so they make for great clips.
Unsheathe parry is crazy
being able to parry those effectively and reliably is the mark of a good enough player imo
Unsheathe parries are cool, I have yet to pull one off myself.
You know, I wonder how good technique will be when it comes to player on player combat.
Is it still possible to wrestle in half sword
Wrestling is better than ever white boy
I lowkey just thought you said white boy out of nowhere, i didn't realize that was the dudes username 😭
i thought it'd be funny so say it without pinging
Lmfao
Dude, yall been seeing that new discord feature?
