To imagine, hundreds of these little duels occur every battle completely unnoticed by their generals high above who has to keep an eye on the big picture.
Guns and bows, pussy weapons (and OP). Yeah theyre OP, someone please explain to me how ranged weapons can arch over walls with perfect accuracy when they realisticly cant even see their target over those walls? You have 0 argues against that. It simply does not work.
What I love about Shogun 2 is how each individual battle is somewhat randomized. Theirs always a small chance a Ashiguri unit will kill your Samurai Hero.
The day was cold, among the field When Mori Nagayasu returned from the war, In the conflict a hundred men he killed, And his glory reached the corners even most far Shogun Tokugawa for this bloody deed, Given him domain rich beyond belief, Yet his heart was not touched by greed - No, it was filled only with grief... His best friend, he did impale on a sword, Date Katsumoto by his very hand fell, About his exploits everywhere reached word, But his companions seen - he wasn't very well... Then among the fields as far as eye can see, Towering figure appears at the road's end. His golden armor shines with a glee, And Nagayasu sees - the armor of his friend. "I am Date Katsuyori!" shouts the armored figure "Brother of Katsumoto, killed by your lord, I wish to challenge him on a duel here, To spare our families further discord!" "Like you will dishonourable dog!" Shouts Hojo Yoshinaki, Mori's guard "Your blood will be tasted by this fog, Now you will learn respect for my lord!" He leashed forward, in his eyes bloody thirst, But with one trust - that day he was to die first. "Yoshinaki your vengeance had come!" Shouts his friend, Takahisa of old. He runs in and they exchange blows some, Among the air crashes steel cold, Strikes are exchanged like hornets around, And Nagayasu - only listens to the battle's sound. They get close, their fight resembling dance of a stoat... And Katsyori - drives his sword straight into Takahisa's throat.... "WIth my good companions falling at this rate, I think that I am meant to accept my fate," Nagayasu says with a cold voice: "Shogun's orders left me with no choice, But if this my fate, where I meet death, I will with honor give out last breath!" He drops from his horse onto the ground, And the air is filled with his steps sound... Swords fly like waves crushing against a cove, Nagayasu rises his guard high above, And is killed by a perfect kill - monk' robe... He that Nagayasu on purpose here met his end... He seen no other way to atone - for death of his friend...
Watched it a hundred times! And still I laugh about this bit: 0:33 - 0:54 It's like Shogun: "You go first, Tanaka." Spear-wielder: "It will be an honour!" Get's killed in the first second of the fight. Shogun: "...Sheeeeesh."
Thats why i love shogun 2 total war, each unit to the smallest is fighting a 1v1 battle, man against man, whereas in the recent titles its just units smashing their hitpoints.
Lewis Carlin They are better for formation combat, but pretty useless against close range weapons such as swords. And let's not even take axes or shields into the mix.
Jeremias Astorga HAHAHAHA, you serious? Samurai long used Firelock Muskets after the Portuguese introduced them in the 16th century and they used them quite a lot.
I love shogun 2's sword animations! it reminds me of the ancient art of kendo just like it should! that's the point! for katana fights to look like realistic kendo! in my books they done it well, people say the arms look like robots when they swing and block but in kendo it's supposed to look like that! you're not supposed to bend your arms! shogun 2 is such a good game! I think it's better than rome 2 in so many ways!
wither of war Kendo is not "ancient" it was named as such in 1920. I think what you meant to say is kenjutsu and its many schools/forms, from where several elements were taken to form the sport known as "kendo" today.
@@witherofwar5676 Kenjutsu is for "ancient" Japanese fighting and HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) is for the European's "ancient" fighting styles.
wow who knows after a hundred years your quote will be remembered and use by people "The true hero is the man that is willing to always defend his home from any enemy"
This is incredible work, I have made game videos before and respect the vast amount of time, effort and skill it requires to make them. The quality of this video blows my mind!
oh i see what you did there. very nice work. you waited for nice clips of them fighting, and to put them all together. thats the reason there are so many cuts. love the idea. very nice work, keep it up mate.
The cool part about this, is that this is from the real game and the animations aren't fake. The only thing that are probaly edited is that there is `1 person from each different unit. If u don't have this game, u probaly should. Best total war at this moment!!
The battle animations....Incredible!!!!! Now imagine when you give these same battle animations to thousands of troops fighting....truly a epic and realistic like battle
Yep! They put up a pretty good fight on and off their mount. I had two generals of with 39 bodyguards each, up against two units of 250 yari ashigaru and 60 samurai retainers. My archers did weaken them quite a bit. But it was an awesome sight. To see my remaining 2 generals and their 15 bodyguards standing upon a mountain of Shoni corpses.
It's funny how the Naginata guy is swinging his arm as he walks. It looks like "I don't need to rush. It's a beautiful day and I am walking in the meadow."
@AyePalTube indeed there is. pick the army you want, then right click the general unit to remove it. it will remove the general and the rest of your army will still be there :) the general will then be the officer in the second unit that you picked :) Or in the hero units case, the general will be the guy in gold armour :D hope this helps.
@jimmy9303 the hero units aren't single units, there a group of (Spear, Katana etc) units, with max morale. You get them by maxing your tech tree on the war side
@Lotharlote That was probably the most stupid comment I have ever seen. First of all, this is a movie about the game Shogun 2 total war, the music is part of its professional soundtrack, so if you dont like it, complain somewhere else, or even better, dont listen to it. Secondly the screams, or any other sound for that matter are NOT from any movie, they are also from the game. So next time, please use your brain before posting again, and get your facts right.
In Chinese philosophy, if you are a hero, all weapons will not give you advantage, so using your hands is as good as using a sword or yari. Therefore, yari does not lose to swords like the one featured in the video.
Hey Stoferr i really liked the video and was wondering how did you make it because i have always wanted to make something like this but i dont know how lol plz reply
They should have the option to have champions for your army, and that way you can avert a full scale battle with a one-on-one duel to the death. Like the cinematic opening for shogun 2. That would be way more fun.
Ona Hei (the music track for the fights) should really be played in a video having Onna Bushi dueling each other. Seeing as Ona/Onna Hei means Woman Warrior.
To imagine, hundreds of these little duels occur every battle completely unnoticed by their generals high above who has to keep an eye on the big picture.
Dying Chosokabe General: "Swap your bow for a sword they said, it'll be more honourable they said...."
Even better!
***** Yeah, but they are not half as fun.
Use a gun? Have fun reloading that while getting chased.
They'd be dead before you'd have to reload.

This feels like the duel feature in Three Kingdoms.
Exept its better
I way prefer Shogun II gameplay over 3 Kingdoms, but I have to admit that the duels and unit animations are much better in 3 Kingdoms.
@@Danymok I agree with you, but I must admit Three Kingdom campaign mechanics are better.

Get's killed in the first second of the fight.
Shogun: "...Sheeeeesh."

Mounted Samurai: ...well shit.
He should have attacked from horseback
edi dishonourable!

Why do they all walk so swagly
TheMrSiMoNN because japanese

Don't bring a Yari to a sword fight :s
Yari would most likely win in a real fight, spears are much better in an actual fight.
Lewis Carlin They are better for formation combat, but pretty useless against close range weapons such as swords. And let's not even take axes or shields into the mix.
Samurai would never use a firearm.
Jeremias Astorga HAHAHAHA, you serious? Samurai long used Firelock Muskets after the Portuguese introduced them in the 16th century and they used them quite a lot.
Answering your question. yes I am serious.
Arquebuses weren't used by samurai, they were used by militia.

Now I'm triggered. :v
Beautiful, just beautiful.
0:44 Wait, what happened to the spear he was holding...?!? It just disappears...
+skyhr When an enemy unit closes into sword range, the spearman's spear disappears and he draws a sword.
unless you get a mod where it doesn't
Yeah on the floor
forgot to say that this is a great clip Stoffer.
thumbs up dude
@Rades
The first song is "Beautiful Blade" and the second "Ona Hei", You can find both of them in the original soundtrack of Shogun: Total War 2.
that katana hero said:well......my job here is done (whistles and pretends nothing happend)
Yep! They put up a pretty good fight on and off their mount. I had two generals of with 39 bodyguards each, up against two units of 250 yari ashigaru and 60 samurai retainers.

So cool the video! Great job! I like the whole look of it!
Awsome video! The animations of this game are so brilliant, it's amazing.
this is so so great. amazing work.
Yes you did entertain me...Thank you!
Fantastic work buddy!!! keep up the good work !!
Pure art
the animations in shogun 2 are fucking good, with the facial expressions and stuff
It's funny how the Naginata guy is swinging his arm as he walks. It looks like "I don't need to rush. It's a beautiful day and I am walking in the meadow."
I like the facial expression of the blue samurai on the horse at 0:52
He thought "wow, not bad"
Superb, you should be working in the Games Industries. Work of Art. Well done.
Really good!! Make more of these videos
@liamdudeeee Can you do that on windows 7? I followed your instructions up until AppData, which doesn't exist on mine :/
the best shogun machinima
This clip is defined only by one word, "Epic"
Man, that's fantastic!
Wow, incredible Samurai warrior
Yes that did entertain me very much thank you. :)
Thats awesome mate well done.
The Best Fight is The SECOND ONE!!!
-Claps- Entertaining... VERY ENTERTAINING!

holy shit dude, that was fucking awesome.
Interesting details that they put into the characters, hard to see in the big battle though.
A true hero shall not fall
When the Horse unit man was fighting i was thinking "good, good let the hate flow through you" XD
i like the way you quote yourself at the beginning lol
@Lotharlote That was probably the most stupid comment I have ever seen.

i know its the most overused word right now but this is truly EPIC!!!!!
that general guy sure looked pissed off when he went to fight the hero guy
ok wtf that was pretty entertaining.
even cracked a smile lol
that was pretty damn awesome. Very nice. Definitly suscribing :)
@Deverestteam it does work, start from the beginning and try again, make sure you change only the Campaign_Unit_ Multiplier
No Samurai would ever be proud of defeating another in combat that way.
Incredibly well made, mate :)
Dude, that was awesome!!!!
*Like*
THIS IS AWESOME !
this was so awesome.....
you did entertain me. that was nice.
@happycompy Just watched yours too, you are very talented :)
the face on dat samurai on the horse: "Migusta"
scorpion vs Subzero?
11 years, god damn
Very well done.

@liamdudeeee thanks, found it :) also, is there a way to make it so you dont have to choose a general before making a custom battle?
Hey Stoferr i really liked the video and was wondering how did you make it because i have always wanted to make something like this but i dont know how lol plz reply
very good
it will be cool if the next total war is in ancient Greece
and they have battles like that between heroes like Achilles and Hector
They should have the option to have champions for your army, and that way you can avert a full scale battle with a one-on-one duel to the death. Like the cinematic opening for shogun 2. That would be way more fun.
this is so sick i neeeeeed to tell you !!!
I love that he does "I DONT GIVE A FUCK WALK" after he kills the first guy at 0:57.
cool video, dude. Well done !
The general is gonna prove his massive skills in combat AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND its gone.
That was brilliant! :D
a true hero is somebody that risks his own life to protect his home and the people he care about ....... 2012 Ruthless XD
just win, will wait ernestly for more :)
Ona Hei (the music track for the fights) should really be played in a video having Onna Bushi dueling each other. Seeing as Ona/Onna Hei means Woman Warrior.
that was so f***** epic!!!
very good clip guy!!
Tbh shogun 2 have better dual animations than three kingdoms
Well done!
Really nice work, you should make more videos using STW2 :)
that was amazing.

Oh my god this is epic, but how do you do the 1 v 1 duels?!
wow O_O totally buying this on steam now..
