>I’ll try spinning, that’s a good trick

Sword gaslighting needs to stop. All armies used spears exclusively until gun powder was discovered. Swords were ceremonial weapons or for dunking on peasants. At best, if you were a nobleman you might have to use one in a duel. But in any encounter, the spear will trounce the sword. Even axes are better than swords, they don't shatter or bend, they can be used to bash and even have utility outside of combat. What can you do with a sword outside of combat? Tree suckering or jungle clearing?

I thought this was that film where Chinese martial arts face off Japanese martial arts. Keep forgetting its name...

>>717905232
You meant Ip Man?

>>717904721 (OP)
I'm surprised they haven't done some kinda adaptation of the spear-dodging routine.

>that’s it! I’m sick of all this sword bullshit going on in history right now! Spears deserve much better than that. Much, much better.

if it's the one where he wrecks his best friend's tea shop over a death grudge because of a lying student, I think it was (霍元甲) Fearless (2006)
excellent film, even if Greater Co-Prosperity Sphere propaganda

>>717905484
Nah, think he means Tower of Death

your dramatic stand is several years too late. the new contrarian position is arguing the strengths of longswords for plate armored opponents that can shrug of spear thrusts and slashing polearms.

Mount and Blade

>still no game where i can be a bronze age spearchud
why the fuck is gaming so gay and lame?

For Honor
It's full of cancer though, people spamming easy characters/attacks and not respecting duels

>>717904721 (OP)
The fuck is the point of doing these moves? He would die in 1 second if he did that in a fight

>>717905192
You wouldnt do wood chopping with a waraxe anon. You would know why if you ever done any woodchopping or looked at what waraxe head looks like

They would just carry woodsman axe for that lol

You can command them in Total War Pharaoh Dynasties

He's faster than your fatass and you won't know when to strike.
Let's assume you go for a horizontal swing to get the most coverage and capture his spastic ass, he can leap backwards during one of the counter-clockwise turns he's doing and give you a lunge in the fucking chest.
Not so smart now, retard?

>>717909221
No, child, he is not.
Should he attempt to strike, he will simply be neutralised and held for arrest.
Enjoy prison, stlaker.

>>717904721 (OP)
Probabaly Fromsoft games, or Nioh if you like anime kungfu combat

>>717909221
>and you won't know when to strike
Simply just stand there watching him tire himself out.

>>717905192
>erm ackshually spears are much better for combat and no sword was ever used in real combat
God you faggots are worse than katanafags

>character doesn't spin their spear once before returning to neutral after an attack
UNPLAYABLE

i really hate chinese spears in real life. they're so thin and small, what can they do to anyone wearing armor? and the guy in the webm isn't even stabbing accurately at all, he's so focused on doing ridiculous windmills. a peasant holding a spear like a cue stick could stab faster

For me, it's bo staffs.

>>717912481
Wouldn’t a thinner spike be better at targeting gaps in plate armor? That was the rationale behind the estoc sword, no?

>>717913201
the tiny spike on a chinese spear couldn't even penetrate cloth

>>717904721 (OP)
My mom was literally watching this movie a couple hours ago on the TV, or at least some movie with soldiers that looked like that.

The armor-piercing hammer is where it's at.

Spears are either a weapon of war or a hunting tool.
For an adventurer in a video game, a sword is more reasonable weapon.

>>717904721 (OP)
Pretty much anything VR, it's the only way you really get to experience spears at their fullest

>>717914616
>breaks some thin aluminum and a flimsy ceramic tile
>has to charge up over like 7 seconds with 0 spatial awareness and extraneous movement that locks him down
lol I run in with a sword and stab him

>>717911163
>Simply just stand there watching him tire himself out.
>implying he'll keep spinning indefinitely like a top
Man you're real retarded. He'll lunge at you when you least expected like he's doing in the video.

They were late medieval era things. They basically were only revelant for one century, then they got shafted because firearms nearly made all armors useless.

Please take a high school physics lesson, thanks.

>>717909221
i would parry the lunge and counter with a riposte

>>717918465
We kept using armor alongside firearms for over a hundred years.
