Also to give an actual response to this, the biggest fear if this scenario ever happened isn't getting your ass kicked one way, it's that the other guy has no fucking idea what he's doing. 90% of people fucking around with swords for the first time don't know how to defend and end up hitting the other guy with a suicide attack that gets them killed, doubles are extremely and frustratingly common.

I guess it's fine if your country has nogunz laws or whatever. Personally I'd go with something like a regulation cutlass that's not too long so it's fine indoors and tough as nails so it won't break if the other guy has something heavy to fight back with.

Swords are side arms
>But muh Knigh-
Knights mainly fought with lances, spears and maces. A sword is considerably harder to kill a guy in plate with than a mace.
>Okay but what about muh Samura-
Samurai may be known for Katanas, but the reality is the majority of them were horseback archers, when pushed used Yaris and Naginatas and the Swords were mainly ceremonial or symbols of status.
They also fucking loved guns.
>Okay well Vikings OBVIOUSLY had swor-
Vikings scrapped together whatever shit they had around mostly. Swords did exist especially in the latter Viking era where they were much more wealthy, but again it was mostly a status symbol.
Swords are weapons of status. power and ceremony. Are they functional weapons? Definitely, but for the vast majority there were other more suitable weapons to arm yourself with depending on the situation.
There's a reason Landneckhts were paid so handsomely, because they were experts with specialised weapons doing an insanely dangerous job.

Counterargument: cavalry in the 18th and 19th centuries, also a lot of naval combat. But yes, it's a sidearm and damn good one, it's universally useful in most scenarios even if not optimum. You can't really wear war-scale weapons, there's a reason people used bucklers in daily life instead of full sized shields.

What I don't like about the webm is it's choreographed in the swords favor. Every attack by the pole/spear is slow and predictable, landing hits directly in the favor of the sword or shield. You are probably right, in real combat it's much faster and someone like this would most likely be killed but I highly doubt he does this for combat training. It's just a hobby because it looks fun, looks a bit stupid though especially when the spear user literally just stands there doing nothing most of the time to let the sword and shield user act out hits

I've done sword+shield and longsword vs spear in hema and there's absolutely no middleground in that scenario when people are taking it seriously and going full speed. Either you get stabbed as soon as you're in the spear's range or you manage to close distance and bind the spear, at which point the spear user is fucked, though the latter is rarer than the former. Distance control is pretty much everything.

Like I said, doesn't work well, you're not going to be able to move fast enough to avoid the spear after it's started moving. The best thing to do is to try and bind the spear and close distance but that's also kind of a crapshoot, just less of one.

horseback archery was NEVER meta
yes, even in the most famous horsearcher armies they were filler bullshit that was useless without heavy cavalry
Pre-ancient horse archers had neither bows nor horses big enough to do anything except feign a charge then pop off an arrow at 30 feet away from the line, ancient and post-ancient horse archers were support units to tire out infantry so the actual headliner mounted units could finish the job
yes, even the famous Carrhae the horse archers ran out of arrows multiple times and still needed heavy cav to come in for the real man's work

Handsniping is just the meta, it's the easiest shit to target safely. Even when you try to negate the problem with shit like full baskethilts so it's functionally impossible to hit the hand it just turns into wrist/forearm sniping instead.

More pertiently, the shit that usually ends up happening because it's most reliable:
>Handsniping
>Feint high hit low or viceversa
>Feint cut into thrust
>False edge hits from low guards or false edge parries into thrusts
>Any single tempo action that covers your lines
Most other shit just ends with doubles or afterblows. With rapier and smallsword it's a bit different though, you can get high risk shit like those ridiculous lunges where you drop your stance so low you touch the ground with your offhand and similar stuff.

handsniping is meta in hema larpshit because of a points based system that values all hits equally; where hitting someone's throat is as valuable as hitting their pinky toe
hitting hands is useful, but better still to ensure they're out of the fight instead of just wounding them

Even in countries where you aren't allowed to own any sort of weapon specifically designed for self defense, if you end up using this to bash a thief's head in a judge could argue that even though it's set up as a table, it's clearly made and advertised as a weapon so you'd still get charged. You're actually better off just having a regular bat and a bunch of other baseball equipment. Then when you use it for home defense, you could simply argue that you like to play baseball and the bat is for that purpose, so you didn't technically own a weapon for self defense.

You have to find the weird loopholes. Like brass knuckles aren't allowed in Canada and you'd get charged as if you were carrying a deadly weapon if the cops found one on you, but "brass" knuckles made out of a hard plastic resin that would do just as much damage? Those are fine, because those materials aren't codified in the law.

What a retarded post. Sword wins against anything but guns and bombs, and spears.

swords were more like a parade weapon. most soldiers, even knights, used spears, halbers or other kind of polearms. Why mercanaries like Landsknechte had a tendency for Zweihander and early rifles.

zweihanders were typically like 4-6 pounds, and generally you're constantly swinging the thing around making space around you.

>I just meant how they're usually balanced in vidya
Like the laborious attacks in Dark Souls, got it.

>IRL it's probably not much slower than a longsword due to halfswording?
Not even due to half-swording I think, just that it isn't really that heavy for the size and you can do sweeping strikes quite fast I imagine, although it should be a lot less agile/maneuverable than a longsword.

That makes a lot of sense.

One of the reasons I loved the light greatswords in the Elden Ring DLC, their animation speeds are much more what you would expect from a greatsword.
