kinda curious how dual wielding would fair against a polearm though?

@@milan6193 It's either very weak or very strong: You're either outside your range and being kept away, or you get in and you make their life hell.

Unless you have the monkey grip feat.

@@milan6193 I literally just practice that. If the dualist is skilled they will secure the spear and then engage, if the spearman is skilled they will know how to reset and gain control of their weapon again. If both are skill, it’s a waiting game of footsy to see who messes up first.

Tell that to pong krell

I wonder on if he visits that family from time to time just to see on how things are going. Or maybe he sends Toph to check up on them seeing has how she's the greatest Earthbender of her time

In reality zukos fighting style would not be realistic but it was very cool for a cartoom

@@blackwingdragonmasta what do you mean? You can't fire bend?

@@ferjusto who said anything about firebending? we're talking about sword fighting not magic lol

@@blackwingdragonmasta I believe he was making a sarcastic joke and not a criticism of your point. "You can't fire bend?" Isn't an honest question but a hyperbolic joke. Something like "oh so you can lift 50,000 pounds" or "oh what so your telling me your not rich" or something along those lines.

I'd much rather have a shield in the other hand. Useful against * spear * as you mentioned. But also, what about arrows? Are you really gonna deflect a rain of arrows with your two flimsy swords? And what about short and heavy weapons? You can't parry/deflect/block those weapons as effectively with a sword as you can with a shield. It's almost like there's a reason why most people in battle had a shield of some sort. Heck, peasants preferred a literal plank in the other hand over another weapon.

@@eggmeister6641 It's almost like you can wield a spear with a shield too.

Crossbow are you sure about that ?

@@evangelostse2477 yes, and no. In large scale battle spear shield is amazing and is seen all through history, but if you are in a one on one duel its better to two hand your spear. Lindybeige has some really good commentary on the subject

@@velbutvel yep, battle and 1 on 1/ self defence are very different scenarios

I actually used rapier and dagger in blade and sorcery but the problem is that your attack usually breaks with the dagger if u try to use it along with a rapier so just single rapier works best (atleast for me)

I would love to play Blade and Sorcery one day to test out my HEMA skills

@@Yorikoification The game is best played like you are in a Hollywood action movie. Can't really do many actual historical techniques. Wait for an attack, step back and counter thrust is the most historically accurate way of dealing with people who fight like the enemies do and it works basically 100% of the time, just gets boring. Being medieval John Wick is the way to go

@@gromse5616 what about battle talent? (free VR fighting game) it's kinda similar but I don't think enemies in B&S do the crazy shit that goblins do

So uncivilized...

Cyborg, you mean.

Cyborg with heart problems.

Obi wans form relies heavily on defense + lightsabers are very different than swords 😂

I'm for the Grass Shield personally. The stamina regeneration is super handy, especially when paired with being able to relax your guard between going just into (and then back out of) your Winged Spears superior reach. Then the Estoc or Bandits knife makes a good backup if you need to get in closer for some reason. Praise the Sun.

On the battlefield, sure. In everyday carry, a sword and dagger or two shorter swords is much easier than a big shield. Obviously sword and buckler is a great EDC for ye olden days as well, but even bucklers can be a pain. Imagine walking around with a pot lid strapped to your belt or your back all day. A large knife isn't much less annoying, but it is also useful for other common tasks, whereas a buckler is mostly useless outside of combat.

@@herbderbler1585 m8 you are not considering dual fucking wielding as a method of self defense anywhere outside of your home or a battlefield of some kind. Your ass is not walking to the park packing a pair of shortblades in your trousers and not being handed some form of charge or fine. Knives are not something that any fighter with a brain dual wields. Thats how you die.

@@annoyedmarine1578 first of all, I dunno how it is where you live, but where I live I can open carry a rifle, a pistol, a sword, a big-ass knife, whatever. It's possible you can get karen'd and the cops will come hassle you, but no laws are being broken so no fines or charges are coming unless you act a fool, or you get crooked/ignorant cops, in which case just play it cool, don't die and score some sweet lawsuit money in about eighteen months. second, if you're so sure dual-wielding blades is completely useless, then why would anyone use it in the home or on the battlefield? Third, literally no one here is talking about modern self-defense. This is all about the days when people routinely carried swords. Back then it was quite common to carry a sword and a dagger. European noblemen did this all the time. Samurai commonly carried a long and a short sword which accomplishes pretty much the same thing. There are endless examples of this throughout history so I don't know what you're even arguing against. It's just physically easier to schlep around a big knife than a big plate, so while bucklers were also very popular they were generally less popular for casual everyday carry. If you really want to talk about modern self-defense, find any CCW person packing a pistol and I guarantee they don't have a IIIA lexan buckler strapped to their back. They have a knife, because knives are useful as a backup plan and because they can also just be a knife and do knife tasks for the 99.9999% of your life when you're not defending yourself from an attack.

I think that’s the only reason to do it over shield

​@@herbderbler1585 In everyday carry people wouldn't walk around with a slab of metal on their hip that costs more than their house.

even Musashi knew that against one skilled opponent, one sword and two hands. two hands was handy in a skirmish against many

@@Darwingreen5 indeed

If 1 can defeat 10 then 10 can defeat 100 Miyamoto Musashi~

One long and one short combo tho

Even Musashi admitted that the Spear was THE number one weapon.

It doesn't hurt if it doesn't hit.

I mean just grab a medium sized stick and thwack something one-handed, you'll notice the difference. Also, it'll feel a lot less awkward to swing 2-handed. That's because if it feels awkward, it's just a weaker swing.

@@azul1964 A hit on armor that's not strong enough could just be a tap, it will just open the opponent up. A lot of hits in boxing aren't going to knock you out, because they're dodged partially and the hits are slower. But the scoring system of boxing still rewards that partial blow.

More like its zorbin time

That's what a cross block is for. You use both weapons to arrest the blow, then withdraw one weapon while maintaining a bind with the other, allowing for you to attack while holding their weapon at bay.

@@ethanowens473 sure, you could do that, but when you withdraw one weapon I’m not going to just stand there and wait, I’ll either press my advantage and push past or around your remaining guarding weapon, or I’ll stop back and wait for another opportunity. For you, the best case scenario is to side-step or redirect my dedicated strike so I’ll be off balance when you make your counterattack.

@@ethanowens473 Crossblock is specifically recommended AGAINST because in most cases, you've given control of both weapons to your opponent.

@@babaXIII It also doesnt add significant power to your block because youre not focussing your strength on one blade

Incorrect. If you are trying to block a heavier weapon like a shield then it will blow through. It doesn't take much force to misdirect a heavy weapon. It shouldn't be a static block anyway.

Dual wielding in Skyrim is terrible. It's easier to accidentally attack someone you shouldn't and have them attack you.

@@drogadepc I tried sword and shield in skyrim. I never block so it was pointless lol

@@drogadepc Skyrim isn't an RPG It has rpg mechanics but it's not an RPG The last rpg Bethesda made was morrowind

​@Gamer 1000 Mc I don't understand skyrim has RPG system such as leveling mechanics stat points system among other things shouldn't that make it RPG

@@Azure9577 Skyrim is absolutely an RPG. You are defining RPG wrong in your head. It literally just means role playing game. In skyrim you play a role and its a game.

Disarm them, that’s what it’s called

@Bob Smith they aren’t? Huh I thought they were.

I’m not sarcastic I actually thought they were.

@@anakin2489 Well it depends on skill level. 2 weapons are really hard to manage so generally someone competent enough to handle them is also skilled enough not to lose their weapon so easily. The biggest mistake you can make here is static blocking. Fighting a single two handed weapon its pretty easy for them to power through a hard block, but it remains easy to redirect them. This is why you basically have to parry with double weapons, or your defensive weapon needs to offer superior leverage as can be seen with a dagger.

You wouldn't really try to disarm them, you'd try to hit them. They do it in movies a lot because it adds tension without ending the fight, but normally you'd want to avoid your opponent's weapon.

there are few people who can use dual weapons effictively online, I mean, not just some dude who trained in single weapon, or no training, because the tactics and techniques and moves etc... are different.

@@belalabusultan5911 when did this came from?

Whoa this is the most like I get from a comment.

@@junebug4004 the Japanese swordsman (Miyamoto Musashi) wrote a book on all the ways ou can use the sword, including dual wielding, usually 1 long sabre (Katana) and 1 short sword (wakizashi), and some few traditional martial arts schools actually teach his methods in Japan.

I didn't know pistols were swords

​@@sugarpigbro your mind is like a pig 😂😂

Two swords are trickier and harder to defend against. Shields can usually just defend the wearer. Another sword doesn't only defend but also attacks.
