She's very realsitc because she's based on a real model.
Oh, you mean the sword combat!
Yes, I know it's about swords, let me joke.
Do note that her body is not identical to the model. She has narrower shoulders and wider hips + thicker thighs.
@@Phantom-bh5ru Ok, 80% realistic then.
her body looks exactly the same as my gf ... idk what is unrealistic about it LUL
@Phantom-bh5ru citation, please, because they have photo evidence of the model in a complete motion capture suit doing many of Eve's movements.
Having a daughter who has been involved in combat sports since age 6 with several other tomboy (not trans or lesbian for you SJWs out there) friends, I can confirm that athletic women can, in fact look conventionally attractive. Keeping teen boys away has become challenging for my wife and I.😠
Scientists have demonstrated that nerves spread throughout the body are related to human personality.
For example, if a subjects arms are removed, that subject becomes much less likely to volunteer for science tests.
What is this? Logs from Vault 50? :D
Cave Johnson?
aperture science?
Ah, the school of when you cut the legs off a spider it goes deaf.
Also if they suddently have no legs they stop playing soccer
“It humanizes the monster! He’s an understandably villain.”
One of the few times I agree with this argument for monsters. 😂
The Withcher being the other time.
Very poor choice of words.
I think this video was one where Shad was thinking ''god I love my job'' the whole time
"It's good to be da king."
2:42 you joke about the hair being the "bouncy" focus, but they actually mentioned the director for this game actually delayed it just to get the physics for the hair (yes, actually the hair) to work right so it could be that long.
I'm serious.
It actually is very mechanically impressive, lol
If Nier Automata's 2B has more polygons in her assets than Majora's Mask did in its entirety, I could belive it.
@@irishijo1 That's actually a lie. That was a custom model for... certain... animations.
When you consider that Batman Arkham Asylum allegedly had one guy do all the animations for the cape delays aren't really unique for that type of thing.
And I am seriously saying that good hair physics are one of the most beautiful things you can do. Like in Violet Evergarden, everything is magnificient, but I really liked her hair.
It's incredibly nice to finally get notifications for this channel.
YT knows what kind of content gentlemen really want - sword penetrations and jiggly hair physics.
Well the problem is if you click one UA-cam video that’s a different type subject…. Then UA-cam assumes that’s ALL you want to see now and changes all your recommended videos.
YT definitely is a mess when it comes to notifications.
@@VindicatorFSX I've noticed that if you go to your seen videos history on YT and remove the offending video, that fixes the feed somewhat.
@@Samu2010lolcats Can confirm. When I look for green screens, my entire recommended are green screens after. That's why I now pause watch history when I look for them.
Ah YES! The sword combat analysis for this game is exactly what I needed!!!
I'm glad to be alive in a time where we can analyse two great combat assets from a video game
Finally somebody gives the actual gameplay some exposure rather than dwelling on the graphics. Thanks Shad.
Yes the gameplay and combat are the 2 big reasons I'm getting this game. From the moment I saw the gameplay and combat, I was mesmerized. I wonder if Eve's costumes will also have different effects on her gameplay and combat.
Modern game reviews have almost zero difference to modern film reviews. All they talk about is characters, feelings and storylines.
Basically me. I couldn't care less if the main character is a hot girl or not. I knew I'm getting this game on release after playing the demo because the combat was just this good
I just legitimately liked the gameplay
0:28 Jiggle those swords Shad! 🤣
i love the two most important things discussed in this video. two really great points
Swords and combat, right? 😄
Four even. Two providing an up-front perspective, and the other two a more backwards-looking one.
Shad, I definitely don't agree with all of your politics or worldly beliefs, but I absolutely get along with your sense of humor and passion for all things sharp, pointy, stony, bloody, old, martial, or multiple combinations thereof, and I appreciate the separation of those two things and that this channel is a space for anyone and everyone to share in this interest.
That's cool.
But alot of us do believe in Shsds personal and political beliefs also.
But like you,we keep it seperate from the channel.,👍
That's the point of Shadiversity. Nerd channel.exe. Remove everything else.
People don’t need to agree to get along thanks for being agreeable
Respect
Why I even feel the need to bring it up then?
The flip is ABSOLUTELY needed. Do you not notice that she uses the momentum of the flip to bend her knees for the next back dash?
Like the spins she was using them to set up for the next move. It makes sense and looks good.
I find spins acceptable when it's done by superhumans with enhanced strength, speed and reaction, be it technology or magic. You can always come up with explanation for it in that case
As long as it looks good
Would you look at that, no notification. A pox on your algorithm, UA-cam!
I got a notification
i got a notification. but normally i wouldnt click on this video. but with all due respect i did not subscribe to shadivirsity for this. but i love shad and here to support him so letting it play
Are you not using the subscriptions feed? The main page is for discovering new stuff.
no notification but thankfully I saw the video bc I'm up early.
I got recommended, not subbed
Notification received!
The sword-disappearing-into-her-hair trick is probably based on it being a technomagicked hair pin. That way she doesn’t have a huge clunky scabbard slapping her hip all the time, and she can draw it kind of like from a baldric ready for a downward straight or diagonal slash.
I don’t follow sportsball so I’ve not heard of 360 vision in that context either, but (at least American) infantry soldiers are taught to “keep your head on a swivel” so as to extend peripheral vision. The thing about peripheral vision is that the part of the eye that sees it, and the part of the visual cortex that processes it, sees motion and other changes really well despite having relatively poor resolution. So, you won’t see for instance that an enemy in your peripheral vision hasn’t shaved but you will see that someone is there when they weren’t there before, or that something has moved that shouldn’t have, alerting you to danger. So I can buy her still having a pretty good idea what the monster is up to while she’s facing away from it in mid-spin.
My only complaint with this video is the speeding up of her motion at certain points. Yes, it’s relatively realistic but she just moves too quickly for good analysis. The fact that they add motion blur when she’s moving really fast doesn’t help even when I run the video at half or quarter sped. Other than that I think that you nailed your analysis.
It's an evolution of the back scabbard
22:53 Correct. It looks like nano tech, that shrinks the sword into her hair-piece. Not into her actual hair though.
During the fight with the sword in hand, her hair tie / piece is much simpler and smaller. Putting the sword away her hair piece gets additional parts - representing her "sheathed" sword.
Huh, wonder if that’s a reference to the Monkey King in Journey to the West who carried the Golden Staff shrunken down behind his ear.
The sword actually don’t shrink at all. It’s the blade of sword somehow disappear and the handle parts transforms into a bulky hair piece which fit nicely with her long pony tail. So it’s closer to a light saber than a monkey king golden staff.
One thing that I miss Shad doing was talking about weapons that would benefit specific fantasy races. My favorite of which being centaurs being suggested to implement two halflings with bows on their backs. It was a ton of fun and I used to listen to them while I was doing some work outside.
i think they hit the nail on the head with this game. i might buy a game system and start to adding this to my channel.
@@SimonWoodburyForget not on PC unfortunately. It's PS5 exclusive, prolly won't come to PC for over a year
we're so back
got this in recommended btw. first time in months I've had a video of yours show up
@5hfyh3g2 literally the first time I've gotten a video from him recommended instead of having to search for it
Love the dry humor shad.
“For science” had me laughing my ass off 🤣🤣🤣
Always enjoyable to hear a man talk about his passion
Hopefully getting better already! Seeing a lot of vids from you now!
I appreciate this channel's dedication to the science of swordplay.
This game appears to be both Shad and Oz approved. Hope it will come out on PC sometime.
Thanks, Oz. Never change.
We need to go deep into the analysis on this one.
notice her skeletonized sword allows for some unique half-swording grips with he giant sword.
You can really tell that the dev team put their all into every aspect of this game. Awesome!
Wow. I actually got a notification! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Are you not using the subscriptions feed? It makes notifications unnecessary imo. Unless you go ham and subscribe to everything and everyone ofc.
Glad to see that your content is showing up in my recommended feed again regularly
Are you not using the subscriptions feed? The main feed is for Discovery of new stuff.
Definitely Swords and nothing else😏
13:45 That actually caught me of guard. Oz is just a comedic genious.
“This didn’t really have what I was looking for”
“I like swords”
Shad you wild af
Saw your post about the dip in views. Coming to do my part
Nice character design! Nice combat animation! Nice titan sword!
2 minutes 15 seconds in, and you sir have already earned a like. Well done.

Jiggled his sword menacingly in a public plaza.
At 16:17 you can see that she's stabbed just below what used to be a human face. It's upside-down but the eye sockets and nose are really visible.
I'm here for the combat
And nothing but
Exactly nothing less nothing mo.... nvrmnind just put more.
I just found your channel a few days ago (maybe a week?). I like it. Keep up the good work!
This was excellent and entertaining critique and I would love to see a more extensive breakdown in the final product.
Love that Ben is back behind the camera.
I think that's Oz.
Ben's off starting a family I think.
Sounds like Oz
Oz, the sword retracting is possible if it was a shape memory alloy. After the heat of battle, the sword got cold and deformed back to its cold state shape.
If I may make my case: Armor of the past was way more armory, but modern armor is less armory, so the futuristic armor has to be be the least armory!
Dang, those are some sick pauldrons, Shad!
The animations and camera focus angles are really good!
i'd say "Stellar" even. xD
man what a time to be alive
Woah, Shad's new video in my recommendations for once.
Subscribe and use the subscription feed? You will never miss a single video!
I think the main reason the blade is behind her when you don't block is because there are certain attacks enemies can do, for example the blue flash. The game warns with a blue flash, but the moment you have to react is, when her sword flashes blue. The blue attack btw is equivalent to a attack that you can mikiri counter in sekiro.
"Well I like swords."
I wheezed with laughter; such a perfectly delivered line. 👏👏👏
Great plot, lovely back story and of course the combat.
For science!
It take a cry for help to get a notification on your channel. That my first notification this year. I'm going to back your Patreon soon. I love you Guy's!!
Especially on this video, Shad, always stay on watch 😅😂🤣
I love your armour
Good use of inertia, to maximise force.
Thanks for taking one for the team again by the way.
Must have been......tough. 😏
It's incredibly nice that youtube is finally sending notifications, and recommending shadiversity again! It only took a massive call out against youtube... thanks Shad!
Subscribe and use the subscription feed? You will never miss another video.
Ah yes, a man of culture I see
I'm really looking forward to playing this game. I love precision combat games like Soulsborne & soulslike games.
Thank you Shad and team!
Thanks, I really enjoyed that! Thumbs up and a subscription.
Got notified
Please go over Devil May Cry combat.
Vamos Shad! tu contenido sigue siendo fantástico
Great look at the COMBAT here. Nothing else. Love it
Algorithm reaction
Men of science and men of culture can unite in appreciation for this game...!
😏
Jokes aside, this vid helped me understand more why the combat feels nice. It IS pure style, but it has some weight to it as well. The prime examples are the QTEs. You covered the push to the side well, but I don't think the kill animation got the praise it properly deserves.
She takes advantage of her size and dexterity to dodge an off balance large enemy. Now that you're reminded how relatively small she is, she uses the combined force of her impaled sword, body weight, and most importantly momentum to force the enemy into a kill position because she can't do it with just her raw strength. It's peak usage of physics, even if extremely exaggerated.
I was just thinking the other day I missed the videos of Shad sitting in front of a book shelf talking at the camera.
The Stellar Blade combat mechanics in the game felt slow, when I got to try the game! But that might just be because i'm not good at these kind of games!
But I liked the block mechanics!
And yeah the character is pretty with "huge...tracks of land"!
20:27 Regarding someone being superhuman changing choreography, I definitely agree.
That’s why I think the Prequel fights are the best and the lightsaber gameplay in Jedi Outcast and Academy are still the gold standard for Star Wars lightsaber combat. Since I can see in third person, spins aren’t a problem since I keep my eye on the opponent at all times with the camera. While I can’t see my opponent in third person in real life, a Jedi would have extra sensory awareness due to the Force which would give them that kind of advantage. Flashy acrobatics are also possible due to the Force enhancing ordinary moves. And even the long winded duels work out since Jedi can sense ahead of time where attacks are going (represented by auto blocking in Jedi Outcast) where the way to defeat an enemy Dark Jedi is to put yourself in a position where your opponent’s blade isn’t close enough to stop your hit landing even though they know it’s coming, which would be how Jedi are defeated in universe as well.
So yeah, while grounded stuff like Game of Thrones benefit from realistic swordplay, more superhuman characters would actually be more believable with different, “superhuman” choreography.
Im 2mins in and the combat looms fantastic! Imma pick this up for sure
Another banger video as always, Shad. 👏
Great video! One of the funniest ones yet. Stoked to have Oz back - the banter between the two of you is always great. This game looks so good, far beyond just the sexy main character. The movement and combat looks so fluid and the poses are all so dynamic and exaggerated whenever she pauses between attacks. Absolutely beautiful from an art perspective.
You can really tell this guy is religious huh
Didn’t you see the thumbnail?
Religious=good... Hypocrite or people who loves BS virtue signaling=bad😜
@@ejs7861 Maybe it's the pure lack of sleep for the past 20 hours but I'm genuinely having trouble understanding what you're getting at
When the demo came out It really inspired me to Polish my sword
Oz never change, you're pretty funny!
Awesome video and hoping for more of these. 😂😂
Hope to see the channel kick back up soon, love the content ❤️
I didn’t even know that you created this video until I saw your community post. This has to be one of your best videos I have ever seen!
Thanks for the awesome content, Shad!
I love the analysis/Shad library videos
Hadn't planned on watching this video, but I saw the boot post and decided to let the video play.
I didnt expect to see you guys actually breaking down the combat. i was just expecting the... science. Love your videos!
We appreciate the sacrifices you make for us.
There's some good science on display here.
Amazing work, appreciate.
I think we should explore more of this game
Sword jiggling is the best
I'm from Europe and saw this video at the top of my youtube homepage as soon as I woke up (~5h after it released). Can't ask for a better way to start the day than swords and pretty girls.
The sarcastic tone is very much welcomed we need more
Oz's comments were pure gold.
This was a fun surprise for today. The gameplay looks good, as do the assets.
I got this notification and it got my attention. Well played.
Didnt even get a notification found out through the post
I am close to finishing the fourth book of the Storm light Archive, which you were in the shout outs at the beginning of the book. I stumbled upon you channel a few times and I just now made the connection that you were in the shout outs. I see your book in the background, and I wanted to let you know I'm starting it as soon as I am done with
I loved the smooth gameplay, the soft edges of her fighting form, the supple animation, the well-rounded gameplay.
Also bobs
thank you for this view of the combat.
We are here for you Shad ❤
Really looking forward to this game!
