I just see a lot of dancing with a sword. That may be epic by sword fighting standards, I wouldn't know. He likes leaving his gut and chest exposed quite a lot.

So close to quads

The slow blade penetrates the shield, swords are shit at penetrating a holtzman shield because the guy wearing the shield has space to just move into it

He has okayish understanding of how to transition from one guard (hut) to the next one.
But his footwork is way to hectic for my taste. Keep your feet on the fucking ground!

I guess it comes from that he tries to drill the cuts (haue) really fast, like one of those over the top stylized kata demonstrations.

Lasgun/shield explosions only happen at the point of impact.

Congrats!
You now have sucessfully combined the disadvantages of a gun and a blade.

>>34751255
You think myths are only a modern invention?

>>34748886
Can't run your shield when there's makers about.

Also
>implying I wouldnt just bombard you with lasers from a distance until you go nuclear.

>>34753507
Your right about the foot work, he is constantly pivoting his heels, telegraphy his next move. Speed, a dagger, and eyes paying attention could predict his moves while he danced around.

>>34753923
As I said >>34753507
He is probably just going for speed in this drill.
I tend to mush up my footwork, too when throwing the cuts one after the other in really fast succession.
When I am sparring it different.

I wish I had never downloaded and watched Dune in 1080 HD ... it really brings out the tawdriness and cheapness of the props.

>>34748886
What's with all the jumping about? No stability or flow

>>34749513
If someone is willing to go all las-holtzman terror anyways, they'd probably use thinking machines to do it.

>>34756121
he's probably just trying to go as fast as possible for some cardio excerciseish reason.

hardly swings that fast would bounce right off.
it will be grappling with daggers all the way.

>>34748886
how do those shields fare against steel nets and stabby stabby with pitchforks?

>>34748886
What a lame rave.

>>34753512
while it would be a pretty awful gun, I don't see how it wouldn't be an effective melee weapon unless the other guy has a proper sword

pollaxe > everything else

>>34757649
Though better than nothing, gun blades are usually too heavy to be an effective sword.
Anything north of 1000g tends to be unwieldy for a one handed blade.
And compared to a normal muzzle loader they are not as easy to relaod.

I wonder why Nelson used that one.

Actual swordfighting isn't dancing OP

Fuck your pansy sword shit. Suicide lasgunners are the way of the future.

What is this from? Looks like a failed demonstration or something.

You're right. it is dancing.

utterly fucking retarded dancing, of the sort done by someone who's never studied an actual martial art.

footwork is a mess, and far too frantic, the turning around is a sure-fire way to get killed, a few of the hau / cuts are semi-accurate. so the guy's watched a video once or twice.

but honestly, that's laughable.

actual longsword schools are far less manic, moving with a lot more deliberation and control to defend and ward threats.

>>34760548
The maker of that video really needs to learn how to edit videos better.

>>34760576
that's just snippets someone took from a longer video that, while it had quick cuts for depicting the various pages from Fiore, in use, was a lot better-edited:

It's an intentional demonstration. It's literally impossible to defend against a knife attacker (unless you shoot him) anyone that teaches otherwise is larping as an anime protag.

>>34753508
explosion also happens at the shooter's end, it's why lasguns became unused

>>34760860
Leto II also banned the use of shields, which directly caused the weakening of the Great Houses because there was no longer the need for an elite martial class to rule feudal space fiefdoms.

>It's literally impossible to defend against a knife attacker (unless you shoot him

wow man, you should really go and let all those people who've ever done that know so that they can give back those extra years of life they stole from everybody

>suicide lasgunner

155mm cannon shell fired from 20km away. Inside the shell casing is a single active Holtzman shield unit. a few millimeters away is a laser emitter set to activate off a timed fuse.


PIC: Lol, swords.

Didn't fremen use crossbows against the sardukar?

>>34748886
Why so bouncy? It's like there's music in the background that I can't hear

>>34761189
That only worked because using a Holtzman shield in Arrakis is the same thing as making a gigantic dinner bell that attracts Sandworms

-You have a knife yourself, preferably a long one
-Other guy values his life
