I like when you say "Combat is the core element of this art". As a person who was born in China and started learning martial arts since I was 4, I would add that some of the martial art stuns that are in Black Myth Wukong or in action movies aren't originally real martial art moves. Some of the stuns came from Chinese acrobatics or Chinese Opera; back in those days action actors of Chinese Opera did study martial art since they were young, but with primary focus on spectacular fights instead of combat practicality. A modern day representative figure to this would be Jackie Chan. That's why you would see actors do a lot of somersaults, flips, and spin their staff and swords; they are a waste of energy to do in real combat, but if you see those movements from a theatrical perspective, they are art. I think people should appreciate these performance martial art like gymnastics or dances instead of keep questioning "it is useless to do that in fights"; people need to be educated in aesthetics. At least, seeing it is a sport that would grant you a healthy body. Plus a lot of people who trained in performance martial arts are also trained in classic martial art or MMA, and they learn them a lot faster as well. Performance martial art nowadays as a formal sport in China has taken in a lot of moves from Chinese Opera or other acrobatics performances, that's why a lot of martial art athletes can do stuns as well. That pillar stance heavy attack move it is more commonly known as a stun from monkey operas(as a category of Chinese Opera) instead of a martial art move. But of course, actors mimic monkeys, they aren't real monkeys, they are not going to stay on top of a staff for 10 seconds like the game character do.
not true, sommersaulting, spins and waving your weapon like crazy was real martial art during total warfare combat in chinas dynastic warfare period, where hordes of enemy soldiers were coming at you, you dont fight them one by one, you spin or wave your weapon to hit as many people as possible, martial art combat was like that in ancient times.
@@sophonblock76 ??? As a commander of an army you intentionally set your soldiers in situations where they have to fight multiple enemies alone and they have to come up with movements like somersaulting and spinning weapons?
@@sophonblock76 I can tell you for sure that in ancient warfare combat cooperation and teamwork are keys to survive and to win combats. The soldiers almost always fight in formations; infantries, archers, and calvaries each have their own usage in different situations. It would be a strategic disaster if the leader of an army to expose their soldiers in scenarios which they are out numbered.
@@sophonblock76 If you look close to all those weapon spinning movements, they mainly use the strength from wrist and from forearm. If it is like you said they were used to fight against hordes of enemy, do you think using only arm muscles would be enough to penetrate armor?
3:16 The Staff Spin is actually based on Liu Xiao Ling Tong's staff work. If you don't know who is Liu Xiao Ling Tong, he is the actor for Sun Wukong in the 1986 - 2001 Chinese TV series of Journey to the West.
Liu Xiao Ling Tong comes from a family of Chinese opera performers that specializes in “monkey fighting”. “Liu Xiao Ling Tong” is actually his stage name, his real name is Zhang Jinlai.
@@thenonexistinghero It's a real bo staff + lacking space to spin the staff. What most Monkey King actors use is a "performer's bo staff" or something like that. It's light and flexible unlike a real bo staff.
@@daisa1506 I don't see how that excuses the pose being very different. Besides that there are videos of others actually pulling it off properly. He could've used a light staff as well. That's why you play around with multiple things if something's not working out.
Yeah that's what I'm saying. These flower moves have much more spins that he missed. He's just using his hands. Like 1, 2. 1,2. It's a different rhythm more like 1,2,3 switch side spin it backwards 1,2,3, bring it back and then repeat.
In Black Myth Wukong, there’s an element named “See through”: If u can predict the enemies’ combo, u can use a specific combo to counter their attacks, which is damn cool, but too hard to use
I struggled with it at first, because I didn't realise that you can cancel many light attacks into the counters. Once you get that, they're easier than normal dodging
Fun fact: ALL movements from various minions up to ALL TYPES of Bosses are done by SINGLE stunt man graduate from both martial art and acrobatics college. You haven't played?.... imagine your 1st encounter with The Big Head Wisp.
I LOVE that you made a video about Black Myth Wukong. I was wishing for this! Also the staff spin is not the typical staff spin, that's a double spin (its like an under-arm spin) if you look closely, he's actually spinning it more when he moves the staff to the front, that's what I've been having trouble with
Haven’t played the game myself but I’d definitely watch the hell out of an Osu Films action short based on it, especially based on what you show off in this video. Incredible work as always.
Great thing about Black Myth Wukong is it really supports various playstyles and builds. There's more than one way to fight its seemingly endless bosses.
You know, you should actually see if you can collaborate with Ranton. He's another youtuber, and he was a Shaolin Monk. He could help you out with this
"Ebon Flow" = "Ebb and Flow" As I finish the Game this Weekend, I'm continually impressed by the amount of Word Play & Rhymes in ENGLISH that were done for us Westerners that cannot be 1:1 w/ Mandarin or Cantonese, requiring them to have done these aspects at least TWICE, once per Language.
I'm not sure why Noah couldn't have done the moves limited by the Dojo outside in the Parking Lot or something, but I'm otherwise a HUGE fan & new sub! Keep up the Great Work m8!
Yes i think you should re-enact the cut and fun fact the bo-staff is a huge part of the monkey style Kung Fu, question have you thought about doing Tai lung's leopard style kung fu
I like how you don't comment on how his combat is "Non-Realistic" I see SO many people commenting on the combat realism in games or in movies. No shit it's unrealistic it's a god monkey that has a staff that can change size and has pretty much infinite weight that only he can lift.
Have you played the game? the Yin Tiger is actually no pushover when u meat him first time. And i can tell that sword do dmg. He beat the shit out of me for like almost 2 hours
Blocking an attack with your feet is one thing. There is a move called “Rock Solid” where you black an attack with your head 🤣. Pretty much just taking the hit head on and absorbing the impact.(pun intended)
If you recreate the mid fight cutscene of the final boss, I will subscribe immediately, that said, if you start recreating cutscenes from this game, I’m subscribing anyways
Wukong’s moves are very orthodox despite his flash, so pushing down on that blade with your right foot was wrong and very unbalanced. everything else perfect.
I don't mean to call you out because I love u. But you missed the second one. You're doing a different spin. The spin Wukong is doing is kinda the reverse flower spin but using only one hand. In order to perform it you have to let the staff go down bringing it below your armpit and then twist your body so that the staff keeps rotating adding another spin and then letting it spin backwards all the way and using your waist switching side to side. You did a much more basic spin left to right. Which is cool but it's not the one wukong is doing. I know both moves and I'm sure you do too but the game has insane speed so it's ok to get confused. If you slow the footage down you'll see what I mean.
re-enact these in cosplay and find an open field! And add Gemma!
Definitely gotta get Gemma on!
@@NoahFlederget Gemma to play Zhu Baijie
0:59 yes you should do that
Agreed
Yes
I second this

以我的经验，那些表演套路耍得好的人只要稍加指导实战水平也是不错的，怎么说也是是下盘稳，柔韧性好，会发力的

One of THEE best games i have ever played ever. Its so so good. You can tell some serious work went into it
yes we need your live action adaptation of cutscenes...
Brother you killed it you made all combos really smooth and enjoyable to watch, Mad Respect to you🎉

6:18 is actually the pillar stance

First of all: SHAMAN KING MENTION!!!! LOVE THAT SERIES!!
Second: absolutely PHENOMENAL WORK!! def subbed to see more!
7:10 actually in Shaolin have technique Monkee style standing on stick, its hard but possible with train for long time
You always da best performer to create this. Love you mayn
Please! I’m a big martial arts fan I would absolutely love to see the re-enactments for the cuts scenes.
You know, you should actually see if you can collaborate with Ranton. He's another youtuber, and he was a Shaolin Monk. He could help you out with this
That Collab would be one of the best!
4:23 weighted ends. Your staff will spin better with counterbalnce points on each end👍
Thank you so much for showing all these demonstrations break down. I've been practicing these personally and have some difficulties on some.
You're incredible, that was awesome!!!😍 Wukong's fight moves are breathtaking 🤩🐒👑
Small correction, it's "The Destined One".
"Ebon Flow" = "Ebb and Flow"
As I finish the Game this Weekend, I'm continually impressed by the amount of Word Play & Rhymes in ENGLISH that were done for us Westerners that cannot be 1:1 w/ Mandarin or Cantonese, requiring them to have done these aspects at least TWICE, once per Language.
Please do it that would be amazing to see all the cutting.Every cutting I would like to see a full game as a movie
I'm not sure why Noah couldn't have done the moves limited by the Dojo outside in the Parking Lot or something, but I'm otherwise a HUGE fan & new sub! Keep up the Great Work m8!
Awesome video Noah
Definitely recreate, that was both impressive and educative
Absolutely loved this video
Oh my god! Please re-enact the opening sequence!! It'd be so AWESOME!
Awesome! Would love to see the cut scene recreations!
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Gotta get us to do videos! 🫶🏼🥋
Yes i think you should re-enact the cut and fun fact the bo-staff is a huge part of the monkey style Kung Fu, question have you thought about doing Tai lung's leopard style kung fu
That’s heavy attacks in pillar stance ….
I was bout to say the same thing
@@deathgrid3273 Kenshi here also called him the descended one like 4 times he didn’t play the game smh

7:46
Type this on youtube: "Black Myth Wukong" Possessed by Wukong One-to-one replica action!
Cool video keep it up dude
amazing work
Have you played the game? the Yin Tiger is actually no pushover when u meat him first time. And i can tell that sword do dmg. He beat the shit out of me for like almost 2 hours
Absolutely do it!!!
Black myth wukong in best game
999likes? Lemme change that. This is amazing.
Been playing this game the passed 2 months. I am currently on the final boss. Incredible game and story.
Hope to see some recreations from Virtua Fighter 4-5, and have Gemma as your partner.
Also, … MY MAN NOAH LOVES SHAMAN KING!!! Huge fan of the series
hell yeah you should try them!!
Would love to see you reenact some cutscenes. You'd do Wukong justice. In full cosplay for authenticity please :).
I wanna see you guys recreate the end fight from Drunken Master 2 with Jackie Chan and Ken Lo
to be fair in pillar stance you are not monkey and you don't have toes that can grab like that
You should do that one move where he deflects arrows and shit .
Collab with Shadiversity that crafted the Wukong weapon IRL?
I'd love to see the recreations.
Would you consider recreating Wukong styles from other games, like Warframe?
If you have the chance, go watch Tiger vanguard's movements. His movement are very reminiscent of wushu fighting style
The yellow loong guy's weapon if im not correct or correct me if I'm wrong im pretty sure it's a guan dao, a staff with a blade at the end
Blocking an attack with your feet is one thing.
There is a move called “Rock Solid” where you black an attack with your head 🤣. Pretty much just taking the hit head on and absorbing the impact.(pun intended)
Cool video, it would be cool if you would receate more scenes,
i wanna try this now!
Sir does doing natural bodybuilding make me slow and less athletic or not if I am training mobility as well?
Cool! 🙂
❤❤❤loved it
It is so fun
🎉👍
I wanna see Guangzhi😆
You should do that
Where was pluck of many?
The Destined One is also barefooted
LFG!!!!!
Wukong: Not bad.
The destined one?
6:28 THATS PILLAR STANCE NOT SMASH STANCE

Try double jump. 😂
偃月刀
A Guan Dao
Pillar stance is not human? 😂😂 Shaolin monks can do that
First move and you did it wrong 😂
Hello
牛逼👍
How did you get every single thing wrong
We can tell you haven't played the game lol
First
