Chaos is fun indeed.
>>74202486
Not really, there are plenty of strategies, aggressive moves and turnover, especially in the first rounds where they aren't tired yet.
At least there is a clear fail state.
>>74202446
Yeah but this is basically the pre-day hype.
It gets you into the swing of things, lets you know what's coming and then you tune in tomorrow for the fun

>>74202077
why would you use shields if you are on full plate and the weapons are blunt blades
>>74203076
>>74203082
>>74203082
Germans are weak af
They're just bad with swords, axes or spears. Only good with rifles.
>>74203076
Because getting bonked in the head with a blunt weapon most likely isn't a pleasant experience.
Also shields are actually good to hit with.
>>74202036
>medieval combat with weapons
>you aren't allowed to use your weapons
This just seems like gay wrestling with armor
What is the fucking point?

Points based on connecting hits, 3 points to win a round, 3 rounds per fight
>>74203254
Weapons are allowed you dummy, it's just that grappling and wrestling is a more effective strategy.
Even if they were allowed to harm and kill each other, fights would look similar, since it's rather hard to just slash someone in armor.
damn I like this american outfit, much more original than what I see they usually have just generic knight stuff
>>74203320

Yet. They probably keep her for the team fights. You don't really need her for the duels.
what stops anyone from going unnarmed and judo throwing all those niggas around? because that's pretty much what that is
>>74203503
Probably threat of getting smacked in head with 2-hand axe when you try to get close enough to throw them
>>74203503
Regulations. They must be armed.
>>74202771

>>74203503
idk about the 1v1 but i looked it up last year, grappling is legal in the 5v5 so anybody could do some sweeps and tosses but these are all middle aged nerds

>but these are all middle aged nerds
you should check out some fights involving russian teams
>>74203610
the armor isn't standard. everybody gets to make their own custom armor. given that, 1 real athlete with some size and minimal armor could probably rek any 5 man team at this event
>>74203527
people are getting gangbanged and still standing with no problems
those weapons are light as fuck, the armor is thicker than historical ones, the helmets are very round and deflect almost everything
>>74203584
kind of bullshit but I get the point. they want to see knockdowns from strikes. even though I'm seeing 80% of grappling and shitty ineffective strikes
>but these are all middle aged nerds
it would be nice to see some muay thai or kyoukushin guys on this though.

>>74203646
>armour isn't standard
No, but they need to adhere to regulation. If you're not protected enough, you cannot fight.
This is a stupid debate however. sport is about rules and winning between these rules. That's like saying to boxers "LEL why dont they use kicks" like some juvenile baboon.
>>74203701
have you ever left your basement?
getting hit even with a fucking tree branch is dangerous if you're unprotected
>>74203701
>“There were 450 fighters at last year’s Battle of the Nations championship,” Birkin says, referring to the annual contest that’s been held across Europe for the last few years, “and 64 of them had to go to the medical tent. One of our guys needed six stitches, and another snapped his arm.”
>Team members have suffered broken bones and dislocated shoulders, and a patchwork of bruises is worn as a coat of arms. I overhear one particularly worrying account from a fighter talking about receiving a head blow from a pole axe: “My right vision completely went; there were sparkly lights and stuff. I spent a week in a brain-fog haze, walking around like a zombie.”
Now get out avatarfag
>>74203730
this is exactly the reason boxing sucks though
>>74203792
Not really, boxing sucks because the current rules need an update to counter the "point boxing" currently in place, where long armed fighters just play defensively for all the match, and just hug whenever the opponent come inside.
During the late 70s-80s boxing was awesome because it was brutal. Now it sucks because the fighters suck.

No, most of them are in full plate armor. That's a late Middle Ages, early Renaissance thing. For most of the Middle Ages, knights wore something like this, mostly chainmail with some plate. Also remember that knights usually fought on horseback.

israel last year was pretty scrappy
they had like no subs but put up a pretty good fight. their captain was some tiny dude who mostly did judo and there was some big like 45 year old arab shoving people.

I'll try to follow these threads all weekend and try to answer any questions you might have.

Actually they do, but the helmets are made of 2,5-3mm hardened steel and weigh around 8kg. It's a sport but the only reason to hit others is to cause actual pain or damage so they fall, just like in boxing.
Just found out about this, looks amazing

In IMCF they have a rule that you're not allowed to put your hand around the fence. You do that once and the judge breaks you up and gives you a warning, do that again and you get flagged down.
>>74212760
Imagine two people falling onto each other in full plate even on cushions, or falling randomly onto someone's weapon

too OP
How do you get to fight in these?
>>74213621
Be a huge loser
>>74213388
IMCF was created because some americans and some other western countries felt that the organizers and judges (who are all russian) were unfair and favored russian fighters. I'm not exactly sure if russians are forbidden from participating or if they just don't want to partake, but there are no russians in IMCF.

Of course they do. After all, the victory of the Russians is not the result of hard training and brutal selection. It's clear that the judges are bought when the Russians win the round without losing a single fighter.
