Honestly, I am just glad to hear more about the Wuxia genre and one of the most underrated heroes in the game. This much quality is extra cake layers and cherries on top.
@@jakobyarns4369 True about the kit and about underrated, mainly because I don't see too many people playign her much, unless it is a general purpose stream.
That Fat Bastard Shugoki moment had me dying! If you would've put Shrek's quote "Aw that's not very nice." as soon as you killed him that would've been the icing on the cake.
It is. That’s why I can’t stand hearing about “strong women” in media, because I know it’s a lie. They aren’t strong women. They are women acting like men while men around them act like idiots. I’m sick of that trope.
@@bored3542 Excellent question. To answer, let me start by presenting the typical male characteristics in most stories. Male lead characters are often strong, powerful, independent, and charismatic. These are the things that tend to define them because they are typical male traits...things we expect in male characters because we expect men to embody some or all of these traits. Typically, female lead characters lacked the same strength of their male counterparts, but they made up for it by being smart, cunning, witty, and elegant. Embodying qualities that women were often expected to embody in real life. Now, is it wrong for a woman or man to take traits from the other? Absolutely not. It's totally fine. But...when a female lead character walks into the field and is so STRONG that nothing can defeat her, so POWERFUL that she faces no obstacles that challenge her, so INDEPENDANT that any side character is made irrelevant as a result, and so CHARISMATIC that no one dislikes her and everyone respects her, the hollywood media likes to call this character 'a strong female character' when all they've really done is just given her all of the qualities of a MALE protagonist and bumped them up to 11. In that case, what about her is special as a woman? I'm not saying a woman can't be these things, but if you changed her gender, would there be any difference? That is my criticism. I'm not saying every woman has to adhere to female character traits and tropes, but simply making a female character have only standard masculine traits and calling it 'strong female characterization' is kind of lying, isn't it? See, my favorite female characters were always the ones who were not as strong as the men around them, so they were smarter, cunning, and even, at time, manipulative. Laura Croft, Princess Leia Organa, Nico Robin, Black Widow, and Mariam Ravenwood. In short: how does a woman act like a man? It's not really an issue if they act like a man or embody male traits...but just don't call it 'strong womanhood.' Call it 'masculinity with a feminine frame.'
@@RavenKnightYTi like what you mostly said when you said strong powerful independent charismatic it kinda of remind me of Ray and I didn't really like her ray from star wars. But how is being charismatic an independent male trait isn't every person independent other than babies who need their mother's womb and charismatic isn't that just a human trait
I personally wouldnt mind female leads with more masculine traits, but most times they are done poorly seemingly without much thought or innovation, merely just some flair to try and make people watch their show or tv rather than a deeper more meaningful. Or just being a crap show lmao
I’ve played For Honor faithfully since the beta. No other character strikes a genuine fear and unease than when I encounter a Nuxia in battle. I’m out here fully armored, shielded and serious (BP Main) and then she rolls up literally prancing and dancing with an attitude of playfulness, and the entire time I’m worried about her using my own blocks and counters against me. It’s freaking awesome! Thanks for the history lesson!
Been using Nuxia as main for a week now and I love her moveset. A bit difficult to learn having been a Conqueror main for the majority of the time but she's been awesome to use. I love her history and methodology so thank you Raven Knight!! Still wishing for a Chinese warrior with Chuí (ball hammers) or at least a knight with a mace but Nuxia is definitely one of my top favorites nowadays
I CAME IN THIS CHANEL FOR "FOR HONOR" CONTENT... AND IM STAY FOR THE ALL HISTORY AND CULTURAL CONTENT.... DUDE THIS IS AWESOME!! YOU SHOULD COVER MORE WARRIOR HISTORY
Nuxia is the meta players secret meta because no one plays her therefor struggle to fight her. One of the easiest deflect and light parry baters in the game. Learn to mind fuck opponents with traps and she soo nice. Took me to about rep 280 or so before I ever picked her up now she’s one of my favorite characters.
Something to know about Ip Man (The second movie he references after Yuri Boyka) is based on a true story. The movie follows Yip Man (also known as Ip Man) who was born October 1st, 1893, in Foshan, China. He studied Wing Chun and went on to become one of the most respected martial artists of his time, due to his contributions during the massacres the Japanese carried out against the Chinese during WWII. Yip Man trained many students, but one of his most famous was, of course, Bruce Lee. The movies are a very good watch, and it gives a good idea of what the Chinese went through during those times. In fact, about two thirds of China's entire casualties during WWII was from the Japanese occupying China and massacring its citizens. This fact isn't really taught in (at least to my knowledge) U.S. schools due to treaties between the U.S. and Japan.
@@RavenKnightYT Err... I never said that you said he wasn't a real person, I was just pointing out to people who might not have known that he was a real person. I do not say this to make argument, I say it because the way you have phrased your response made it sound like I was accusing you. I apologize if it looked that way, it was not my intention.
Wait based on your description does that make Ruruoni Kenshin a Wuxia tale? Because it makes a lot of sense why I love it so much since I grew up on Wuxia stories.
Can’t wait to hear about the pirate hero, aka Ching shih. Watched a documentary about her and she sounds very interesting. What other interesting heroes would you think Ubisoft should add into the outlanders faction?
Personally BP is main bit nuxia is most definitely my fav. The way her moves look are great. Her lines during matches sound like she's talking mad shit just with her inflection I guess. Plus she got that FH drip.
In reality Wulin or in China literature terms : Jianghu is basically the Wild West. Where Authority can't reach, vigilantes and gangs thrives. Honour of thieves and Oaths matters more than the Written Law. Only instead of revolvers people do Kung Fus instead. And replace the Saloons with Inns. Nuxia is basically an Female Wulin equivalent of a Western Lone Wanderer.
nuxia is easily my favoureite assasin, simply because she says "hey, this base mechanic you`ve mastered? *fuck it.* " also, bold of you to assume i can be bored by any history lesson. and... im going to assume when you say "ctan" you mean something else but the warhammer player is imagining some medieval general facing the Void Dragon.
As someone who is a rather masculine woman (a personal preference rather than a hate towards femininity), always vibe more with masculine fictional women in shows, games, etc. Might be bias but the whole masculine/nonconforming women in my perspective only showed up recently, far more cases of feminine women in fiction in the past as far as I see. That said that doesn't mean I hate depictions of feminine women in fiction, just cause a character is feminine doesn't diminish their strengths as character, what diminishes that is how bad she is written. I also understand me a masculine woman is an outlier and most women are the feminine types. So to me it's understandable that it is more common to portray women in fiction as feminine and that people prefer female characters to be portrayed femininely. One more thing I do understand is the recent push to portray masculine women in current media may have done in a "shove down your throat way" thus I understand why people roll their eyes when a new female character is introduced and she of course is on the manly side. I think this whole tangent of mine is the result of me getting the initially impression that "yeah feminine female characters are great and are no way a weaker form of a character, but the hate towards masculine or nonconforming female characters feels a little too much.", though after really thinking about it and looking at the current cultural climate that perspective does feels like it simplifies the issue.
So, if the Nuxia is based on the Wuxia, I kind of wonder who the Tiandi are based on considering that we don't know much of them outside of that the main male Tiandi was once a prince and the main female Tiandi was a protector of a queen...though both do happen to be disgraced in some way so guess that can help with the research I suppose.
@@RavenKnightYT I know just thought you meant he was fake aswell. Also there is not really a super natural espect about those movies the fighting style they use is just regueler wing chung nothing to speciale about it.

Great vid raven, learning nuxia is a Chinese robin hood themed hero was a interesting surprise
Dude you are going to be big in no time. Keep up the amazing work!

Raven knight deserves more viewers and subscribers for putting out these high quality videos
She really needs a rework, so much potential in her kit
‘Strike with a precision of a sniper rifle’
You got me there
Your ending to these videos are fantastic thank you. That “SMACK” 😆😆
Wow now i like my Nuxia even more. Thanks Raven!

I love her too. I just wish she was a little stronger.
For anyone who still wants to know how Chinese fantasy works, I recommend Legend of the Condor Heroes(Free to watch in UA-cam)
Currents mains
Shaman, Hito, Tiandi, Zhanhu, and Orochi
Next on that list is Nuxia absolutely love her

make a heroes in history video without mentioning anime (100% IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE)
Nuxia sort of reminds me of Ty Lee from Avatar Last Airbender.
-ohohoho I love Worchesterchire genre literature-
they did nuxia dirty
The last thing I want is to be in 1v1 with a Nuxia
U forgot Tai Lee from avatar the last Airbender
I always tought the wu lin cast are based of on an archetype or somethng based of on chinese media
10/10
I legitimately thought you sad jump fart🤣
In Shang Chi movie, the weapon that nuxia is holding is inside too
yes, theyre called hook swords
It’s also a sword that actually exists in real life
And here I was thinking they were just put in to be annoying
Not to be a dick, but ip man is a real person not a karakter. He is the man that trained Bruce Lee.
I am aware. But the movies are mostly fictionalized, and the way he is portrayed in the movies is displayed as a wuxia structured story.
@@RavenKnightYT I know just thought you meant he was fake aswell. Also there is not really a super natural espect about those movies the fighting style they use is just regueler wing chung nothing to speciale about it.
