Damn, HEMA can look cool as fuck with good cinematic filming tech.

I guess it would be hard to use realist fighting moves to push the plot forward or develop character. For good movies

And for bad movies, they just don't give a fuck i guess.

HEMA is cool as fuck though, Hollywood just doesn't know shit.

I'm kind of hoping we get a 'John Wick-type movie for sword fighting.

Combine realistic handling with movie action.

I like the fight scene in pirate of the caribbean 1

>>34175279

Nope, euroweeb shit. Faggy as fuck.

>>34175408
got wrecked in 3 second. I love how the director build the tension and then i LMAO

>>34175418
Fuck off faggot.

That's most likely how most duels went dude. Imagine watching a boxing match but the first guy to take a punch is guranteed to fucking die or at least be hospitalized.

It's not going to last long.

Some of the sword fights in Black Sails where not all terrible, few where quite good

This is a pretty cool video of saber sparring. In the beginning of the video one of the fighters does a sick fucking taunt pose like darksouls. At 3:30 he blocks a vertical strike holding his sword with two hands.

This article does a slow mo breakdown of a perfect strike at 2:30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zueF4Mu2uM

It depends on the era, armored and formation warfare would be immensely brutal

>>34177490
Seriously. Duels between knights were more like dirty, bloody brawls then clean duels.

>>34177630
actually no Judicial Duels between armored knights in the 15th c. had very specific rules and while still brutal they often didnt result in death.

>>34177630

Yeah, and back in the classic age soldiers went at eachother with short swords and spears, hacking, thrusting and bashing in the general direction from behind their shields, slowly tiring until the other guy slipped and couldn't block or parry anymore and died of horrifying wounds.

Imagine a tug of war mixed with bullfighting while packed in a rowdy metal concert.

A good editor can make anything look cool.

How is this different from the usual stage-swordfighting?

All this swishy swashy no trusty thrusty.

not really two hands, but close.

>>34178382
It's different because it's actually dangerous.

Thrust is counter-intuitive, it's much easier to slash than a thrust.

>>34177789
that's why roman's rank switching is so brillian.

>first guy to take a punch is guranteed to fucking die or at least be hospitalized.
like you are so bad, you got such an opening to take a punch>?

>>34179888
Never proven, just seems cool.

>>34175387
Extremely underrated film.

>>34175497
I can't stop laughing at the crotch skull.

>>34177758
you know the loser got executed right

>>34179885
It's also much harder to cut well.

>>34184614
with t he pommel?

Fuck realism, just give me good choreography without a million cuts

As much as I like historical swordsmanship, I really can't get to like this video...
>Camera work is atrocious, shaky and people disappearing off-screen all the time...
>no build-up of tension, the choreography is so present there is nothing but it.
>It's absurdly dramatic and over-the-top but because of the heavy choregraphy, there is little emotion out of it, it's just showing off and never do I feel there's something at play but two guys playing with each other and being theatrical about it.
>It's just as generous as kung-fu movies which is nice and all, it's obvious that the people doing this want to show you the cool stuff but it totally kills the supposed realism and pragmatism that is found in HEMA. You might as well watch a demo at this point...

Anyway, I'll post the other recent obviously known video, that imho, manages to make the tension better while still being dramatic af, and who takes a nicer approach to the technical part (even if it kills epileptic people).
