Unity is really good. Sometimes the camera is terrible and you get shot without the warning coming up though. But it was a welcome change to the fairly unchallenging combat of the previous few games.
I finally mastered it, anyways 1 small tip if a guard is aiming at you and the officers/seekers does the 3 hit combo dodge the last hit since that's when the enemy will shoot
It was very grounded it felt so realistic that it was too realistic, I like feeling like a badass and just being able to take down everyone with relative ease like AC3 but I love everything else about the game
@@WholeLottaBrown One thing I always disliked alot from the Ac community is how they keep on saying that ac3 combat is too easy and you can defeat everyone with just the counter when the game actually punishes you for doing that. You can counter some but others would require breaking their guards. Some others would also require both. Then there is using a human shield against guns. I think people are just mixing up the combat of Black flag ith AC3.
In AC3, AC4 and AC: Rogue combat is smoother than in Ezio trilogy, but they are very cartoonish. Lots of unnecessary hits. A weapon that cuts through enemies like air, not meat. The movements in these parts lack the heaviness and brutality that Altair and Ezio had. I won’t talk about Unity and later parts yet, I haven’t played them.
@@misskathgandaomsim325 Ha-ha, I saw some footages from newest "RPG-trilogy", and it really looks way more cartoonic. But to see is very different from to play.
you forget to add the disarm combat mechanic from Ac2 animations which is the best combat style where you dont even need to equip your weapon just disarm from enemy and punish them with their own weapon especially the brute takedowns where you disarm their Axe and just jabs them so Brutal and more of the spear takedowns Edit: most of the dual hidden blade animation from Ac2 also skiped
Thank you I was looking for this comment. The insta kill axe or spear throws and the hidden blade finishers were my favorites from Ac2 once I learned how to do them
Assasins creed ezio trilogy's combat is personally my favorite, i felt really skilled and timed with my counters and stuff and felt so good in finishing my opponents mean while i did felt badass in other ones, they just seemed really easy in countering and stuff like just a button to counter was enough to remove whole group if done repeatedly (except Unity, that combat is a chef kiss). ezio's trilogy felt really down to earth for me in combat. and don't start with me with recent series. really feels like playing a mobile rpg combat, why they had to ruin it man :(
I wish I had the option make counter attack insta kill in unity too. I mean if I wanted to be challenged i would play darks souls (which i do, even if i am trash at it) but AC is my little rogue fantasy thing
Same but I feel like some of the finishers are kinda stupid like when eivor takes a dane axe and goes for between the shoudler and head and the guy puts up his hands(away from between the head and shoudler) but eivor still manages to cut the guys hands off somehow
Ah man... I missed the Detail in brotherhood and revelations where you kill the stronger enemies, The other emenies would Beg and Run from you in Fear... Ubisoft should've Kept that to the rest of the series...
@@littleumbrella1763 in 3 i could hardly remember, I only remember that if you Attack a group of red coats or Blue coats without killing the Drummer, The Drummer would only run away....
@@littleumbrella1763 Still wished they kept that for the rest of the games... It kinda... Doesn't feel well when you kill about 5 brutes or 7 elites, and the rest of the soldiers are still fighting you even though they saw you kill their Allies in a brutal way...
Shay may have very well been the most murderous of the bunch. The speed, efficiency and brutality in which he does his kills is something else You can definitely understand why Assassin's were on the brink of extinction by the time Connor comes around
It mesmerizes me every time when I look at ac3. If they would have improved that system and make it more challenging Meaning stronger enemies and more rewarding too it would be high peak combat mechanics. Like a mixture with unity and ac3 would be perfect where your footwork is important such as in ghost of tsushima but this game is another Caliber
(just to be clear, my comment is about combat as a whole, not just finishers) the problem in the transition from Ezio Trilogy to 3, Black Flag, etc. was the following: first we had enemies which would actually block or deflect hits, only landing a (lethal) blow after timing the attack button. spamming the attack button did not work spamming parry/counter did. then... for the next gen, what did we get ? mindless spamming of the attack button... but the fucking cherry on top: every hit connects.... but no, doesn't matter if the enemy got stabbed and sliced 30 times already, because his healthbar isn't depleted. this got boring really fast, and taints replay value.
I disagree. Problem with AC3s combat was the insanely long slow down time after parrying to decide what you want to do. It interrupts combat each time, making it tedious and repetitive, and it also tales away every challenge since you have what feels like 2 seconds to think about your next move for every.single.parry. *Yaaawwwn*
Kassandra using spear moveset reminds you Achiles in Troy and gis grandfather in 300 . The kenways smoothers as always (connor mostly) Ezio being more brutal and gorelike with the years Eivor Gore bloodthirsty moveset, suits for vikings and its awesome to Play, very relaxing
Edward's Combo Fast Brutal and Connor Kenway ( Grandson of Edward Kenway ) Very Brutal And Special about Haytham Kenway( the son of Edward Kenway ) Very Classic and brutal Combo but Ezio's Combo Soo Satisfaction and Cool 😍 What I meant is i love them all, the way they fight
@@Joel-zj5oz I played every Ac too and Ac3 was the best at combats ، ac unity is totally boring in combats , it’s like the only ac that u try to avoid fights cause u can not even dodge and moves are sooo slow….Ac3,4 and syndicate are better and cooler… And if Ac unity was cool enough it wouldn’t be a disappointment for the franchise and unfortunately it was the first game that I played on my ps4… But I’m still saying it got the best graphics in acs
@@mythicalumut6174 Ac3,4 Dude if u looking for some hard shit go and play dark souls… Ac is for the ones who want to kill a horde … It wasn’t realistic since the first one and unity ruined it but it’s good some people like it…
Still to this day I think Brotherhood/Revelations combat is the best. Never seen such beautiful animations after them. And the Lock System for the first 4 games is still the best now. Honestly the first 4 games were perfect in every way for me, except AI.
The ac Valhalla I feel you missed one or two. I could have swore I’ve had a finisher where eivor repeatedly throws his axe at the person and eivor with giant dude use his hands to break the guys neck by doing a choke hold. Am I dreaming? I don’t believe I am I played 6 hours today.🤔
This is what i love about the assassin's creed though not a fan of the latest trilogy (origins, odyssey, and Valhalla) because of its fantasy rpg bs but still are good games nonetheless. I hope mirage will deliver back to its roots and same goes with all upcoming releases, most specially ac: code red.
you skipped quite a few finishers in ac3 (the pistol executions. rifle executions. and im pretty sure there are bow ones) same with ac black flag to rogue as well
I think out of all the protagonists, Connor would be the last one I would wanna fight, even more than Eivor. Connor brutalizes you in such a fashion that it actually gets disturbing to watch.
Dont say an AC combat is "cartoony" and unrealistic" because they all are cartoony in different ways ezio an oldman still fights like a young man altair? Enemies block all his attacks yet if you keep attacking they'll just fly away dead Ac III, IV, liberation, freedom cry and rogue? Completely unnecesary cuts. Syndicate? Enemies can just stand after being cut 20 times newest trylogy? Well its an RPG style sooo Unity is the most realistic its still cartoony but its the most realistic. There no game with perfectly realistic combat
@@mythicalumut6174 yeah i but hardly play it they sure remastered it call it assassin's Creed reunity get rid of the multiplayer side of the game I thought it was stupid interesting idea but it was a mess
@@noahdean9685 yes. Tho it has the best mechanics out of any ac game. But i agree on the multiplayer part. You had to play together or it would be near impossible
Ezio got some serious WWE moves in Constantinopole XD
I forgot how insane AC 3 animation is
That moment where Connor was stabbing 2 people with his blades multiple times. You could be a bit more delicate!
Man I miss
thos animation
Syndicate has my favorite finishers for how brutal they are. 3 a close second. Combat feels so good in those games.
Syndicate was amazing cause of how easy it was and AC3 had the most satisfying
For AC revelations you forgot something.
Vlad's sword has unique animations. Mostly about giving use to the serrated blade
Like stabbing the enemy in the mouth, snapping their neck, and then pulling it out backwards STYLE 👌
Such a brutal yet fun animation, showing off Ezio raw strength.
Nothing beats Altair and Ezio’s kick to the nuts. So satisfying!
Assassin's creed III is the best in combat
That i don't agree on
It has some brutal animations but it's easily the worst combat in the series. AC1 has better combat.
@@tentayeprimo6674 FK ac 1 combat was more realistic like Altair couldn't see through his forehead and block a counter from behind
It’s the same as assassins creed 4
Nah...bro hood, unity, 3*too*, black flag, origins
AC 3 and Syndicate have the best kill animations from my point of view.
Same. The combat in those two games was the best
Unity is really good. Sometimes the camera is terrible and you get shot without the warning coming up though. But it was a welcome change to the fairly unchallenging combat of the previous few games.

Not gonna lie, I love assassins creed due to its combat
Edit: you forgot about the pistol, musket, and blunderbuss finishers too
This was the shittiest video of showcasing an evolution of combat finishers plus just watch separate ac games that show you all the moves
I was going to say that
@@drewbenoit9568 I think the game classes them as tool kills technically? So that could be a whole other video of tool finishers maybe?
I love the finisher in valhalla where Eivor chokes out the big guy and just lets out a war cry at his body
I love Syndicate's double and triple finishers, the animations are really badass
What about quadruple
@@StealthyWDYM even better
The older ezio, the more brutal he becomes
I’d say practical
He got so done with life he just wants shit to be over asap lol
@@isidro7882 you'd say its practical to turn an enemys head by 180 degrees after killing him with a stab to the brain?
I’m talking in a wider aspect and how the character is presented, not about every-single-animation. I thought it was common sense.
@@isidro7882 You're commenting under a video about "every-single-animation", its just "common sense" that the conversations are about that topic.

Love the pistol executions in brotherhood, among most satisfying finishers ever
It went from cool takedowns to brutal takedowns I like it
I love syndicate‘s combat system :D
It‘s so much fun
Me too, it's extremely fun and fast-paced, you need actual reflexes to counter enemy attacks
@@user-jz1rv9nx7z agree which makes it better than unitys which is extremely slow
Thank you! Finally. Someone who appreciates the underrated gem

@@gghhoosstt1233 except for odyssey
You can do a finisher up to 5 enemies simultaneously in the Fight club of AC Syndicate
Nah 4 it's the max
Unpopular opinion but I think they did a decent job with the Valhalla system. For me, the brutal finishers suit the Vikings
Same but I feel like some of the finishers are kinda stupid like when eivor takes a dane axe and goes for between the shoudler and head and the guy puts up his hands(away from between the head and shoudler) but eivor still manages to cut the guys hands off somehow

Agree and AC Syndicate is a close second for me after AC 3.

I wish all the ac games got remastered to have the finisheres of valhalla because I love gore and brutality
All the games are so brutal, but I can’t help but love the finishers even more for it.
I feel like ac3 has the best(flashiest) combat system.
I enjoyed AC 1,2,Revelation,3 and Valhalla’s combats
I never could understand one of Syndicate's moves. Like... what were they doing, pulling their ears off?
Jesus I forget how brutal black flag was!
I never knew there were more animations kills!
AC brotherhood had more finisher animations than shown, there were heavy swords you could use that had really cool looking heavy swings
very good well made video. must have taken a while... Good job
I like the combat of assassin creed 2 and brotherhood cuz it my childhood
Idk as a Hama fighter, I enjoyed origins, sure some where very dysfunctional, but I enjoyed the sickle sword kills
Assassin's Creed Unity ❤️
i love the way some NPC's cheer Ezio whenever he kills a guard
Kassandra using spear moveset reminds you Achiles in Troy and gis grandfather in 300 .

ok this is how videos covering finishing moves should be, not the crap with music playing over it thats dubstep
AC3 so smooth
You can kill 2 people in a finisher using the hidden gun or throwing knives in AC:B

more like degradation after rogue and if assassinations counted unit,syndicate is way to cartoony adly although it had potential.
My fav is ac3 only because he has lots of WWE moves lol

And this was only a fraction of the finishers
