D constantly looks like a he came out of an action movie with his smooth finishes.
It's one thing to cut a man down, it's another thing to look cool doing it.
Yoriko Arran so true, so true
I would love to duel D. I encourage anyone watching who thinks their friends might enjoy this to pick it up. It is great exercise!
King Sarathos yes
I agree, though as we've seen, when you have two swordsmen of equal skill, most of the time it ends in both parties dying.
D is the guy you want around for the zombie apocalypse.
Senik Nine agree XD
8:16 "My right hand can't take it anymore."
9 seconds in..... Hits his right hand.
Love these battles! XD
RecklessVector agree
You need to do that more often and take it to the next level :
1/Get more weapons (Axes, Spears, Mace, Flails, Short sword/Shield)
2/Get more people to participate
3/Do it outside so you have enough space to do side steps & such
4/Do a tournament with 2 rounds of 5 minutes each
Outside for sure. That hammer was severely limited in those fights. If you could just whirlwind that shit it would be extremely effective, but they don't wanna break their PCs.
Spinning is never extremely effective, esp with foam weapons xD
Spinning moves are high risk high reward, I assume they're useless with sharp weapon but with blunt weapon it probably works really well like at 5:55
Trouble in Medieval Town
azertyuiop7893 do all v all
I love how in anything like this D is always trying out a spin move.
M BR can we get a compilation of every time D does a spin or a three point landing?
he's trying to be levi
You mean anytime D fights in a sword video?
+Joshua Newton exactly. a little kid trying to be levi. lol
It's pretty effective though haha
D just loves his spin attacks doesn't he?
Spin attacks = Badass cool points
Style points. lol
XReaperZX
He's basically Captain Levi from AoT.
It seems in that everything the Node crew does, D has to look cool doing it.
Not only that but you've already got momentum so you get to attack again quicker
"Yo, what's your sword's name?"
"..Jeff...Jeff the Sword..."
Also, anyone else feel like NODE should do For Honor IRL?
D-capitated
Stop.
Skabooble XD
Please, Skabooble, tell me that is a pun on Skadoodle.
Dcamitated
*BA DUM TSS*
I would be terrified if I was going up against D. He is the Meta Knight of the Node crew.
His moves only work because the other don't know how to fight, if he goes up to a professional of Kung fu or Hema, he would get himself cut into pieces
+when you look the comments i will be there just like anyone?
Tehidiotboys What i mean, is that spinning and dashing like D does is not always the best option
Everyone here with the exception of Brandon has been training in traditional sword fighting, If D wanted he would take this seriously.
theyre more about making it look cool instead of making it look traditional, every movie would be so boring if all their coordinated sword fights was actually based off of actual swordfighting
Sam's face. 6:44 Like a parent after witnessing his son's failure....
Man, how is D always coming through with those weird anime moves?
He'd get cut to pieces in reality but they always work here
BoarhideGaming Because he's better than the others. Except maybe Niko.
Either he's very lucky, or he knows when to do them. If you look at his spinning strike at 5:50, you can see that brandon was caught completely off-guard by his move. If that wouldnt've been the case, D would've just gotten cut straight over the back since he didn't exactly push Brandon back or anything. However, since he struck at the right moment, D pulled off that risky and "impractical" maneuver without even coming in contact with Brandon's sword :)
Niko and D fights are always so much awesome sauce!
RazSlayer Yeah well, this is obviously all fun and games, but I'd like to see him go against anybody with a remote idea of what they're doing or somebody with a shield.
BoarhideGaming Yeah, that wouldn't end well for him XD I mean, D's really good and all, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't actually practice any armed martial arts, or any martial art at all. He's alright against regular people, but there's just SOOOO many flaws in his technique that an actual practitioner could punish him endlessly for. We'd prob. never see him use his spin attack against them, though, since the fight would be over long before he could set that move up.
In regards to the video, though, this was such a good blast from the past for me. Their first sword fighting video is easily one of my favorites, and this one was nearly as good :D
8:32 That open palm left hand though, *MANGA STYLE*
D has some sort of hatred with hands
remove the hands and they wont be able to hold a blade. hands are the true weakness
Too much star wars
Or Niko needs to keep his damn hands out of the way of a swinging blade.
Winifield Gonzales how about fuck off you 4 year old.
He is Darth Vader
I thought I could leave this video on in the background while I carry on programming,
I watched the whole thing damn it!
The song you used in the background in the beginning of the video is the same one you used in your first D&D playthrough, ah the feels man!
what is the song ??? I need it!
7 Days to the Wolves - Nightwish
the opening song?
it plays through most of the video. yes
they also used it in their first sword fight video.
Why am I getting recommended this video 7 years later, I'm not complaining Ive already seen it XD
This is so nerdy and I love it
I am really sick and tired of seeing this stupid "nerd" word. Do you want to be cool or something?
The price though
it's overpriced there are real quality bronze swords for 50$ extra.
Revan Ruler n
I have the same with ''cliché''
D has proved that the best win is when you look cool doing it. I loved that spinning hammer finish.
Skallagrim: *sees D's spin attack*
Skallagrim: *TRIGGERED*
I was legit screaming internally when Brandon let D spin on him like that. Man had so much time to counter but instead he switched his block stance or... whatever that was he did.
Shadiversity: *sees sword frog*
Shadiversity: *triggered*
2:01 "yea but which one would be a death-kill" ~ D
Lol that killed me
Niko needs to keep his left foot straight and pointing at the opponent, besides that his technique is pretty good
Yep
Though I was trained for a more traditional approach and not for competitive fights, so I could be wrong about it, merely saying what I was taught
Nathanael Paxevanos what would you say about the others?
No, you're definitely right.
Liam James Sam needs to keep both hands on the weapon and not let go, he also tends to overeach and become off balanced. Same thing with Brandon, and D has his legs a bit too far apart. Those are the bigger issues as far as I can see
This channel brings to life everything I wanted to do when I was a kid. Keep it up!
7:10 When you let the enemy revive so you can get an extra kill, but he wrecks your shit.
These videos are why I'm subscribed to Node. The child in me smiles every time!
I like how D uses the greatsword like a katana
The "long sword" is a multipurpose sword capable of being used in different stances. He is using one of them.
If it was a real greatsword out of steel he would break his wrist if he tried to fight with it like a katana. The style of fighting does depend on the weight of the weapon.
Lincoln 007 oh ok, i dont known much about swords(im more of and axe/hammer person) it looked like katana moves.....
also you never wield a katana one handed its classified as disrespect to its maker
Worfin i dont think any japanese would see it as disrespectful especially as there is many historical techniques for it and famous samurais who used them
It warms my heart to know D is such a big D&D nerd that he knows longsword is 1d8 slashing damage off the top of his head. XD
grorious Nippon steel folded over 100000000times
outmatches even the stronkest of stalinium
trinimmortal is that you?
filthy gaijin go home
THATS OVER 9000!
forded* :'D
Sam, glad to see you looking happier. I love when all of you guys have fun.
3:37 Sam sheathes the katana upside down. Attempting to look cool fail....
Then Niko does it too at 7:22
Katana rides on the hip blade UP guys!
8:28 When you seriously injure your hand, but still wanna keep LARP fighting...
You guys need to do some proper fencing at some point.
this *is* proper fencing! theyre properly powering their strikes, raising to guard, disengaging and redirecting... heck, even most of their footwork is on point.
im a historical longsword fencer, and everything aside from the ward positions looks fine to me.
of course, theyre what i call low-intermediate fencers, they could improve their footwork, form, and core engagement... but theyre definitely a great visualisation of historical combat in my opinion.
except maybe the spinny bits but hey, they actually do those properly as well.
💯
I love how D acts like he's in anime whenever he gets hit. Very admirable!
for honor in real life?
ikr
Mikivuk Mikivuk
ikr?
i know right
it reminded me of for honor
**COUGH** Sam? Niko? Consider taking this to the Corridor drawing board
Knew this was gonna be an excellent video the second I saw the title, especially watching Niko and D fight soooo awesome!!!
D is getting more and more scarier....
*scary
Not really, his moves are straight out of anime and stuff, would get you killed back in the medieval ages. When he twirls, thats a clean shot for a sword to enter his hip.
Also, lets not forget, these dont have the real weight of a actual sword, meaning they are way easier to use and faster. When he used the greatsword, he was more offensive than he was defensive, which is a no no. A greatsword is all about defense, since you must go two handed and of the weight.
YES THEY ARE PLAYING NIGHTWISH!!! I grew up listening to that band! my first power metal band
Do you know which song they used? :3
@@AgentBSmith seven days to the wolves
coming from hema channels i feel out of place watching this
same
i know right :P
MN N true there was no pommel throw 0/8 m8
wtf is hema channels ?
kitariki
Historical european martial arts. Longsword and messer fencing basically
*spin move with a cut to stomach and arm* "Sorry about your hand dude." *intense blood spilling*
you should add shields.... that will change a lot the strategies... creating new moves for each one
KrystalicVorteX that is exactly what I whant to see
A Wakizashi might work but then again they can range from 30-60 cm so they would need to be around the same length for it to be fair.
OR even a tachi would work.
Completely false, a longsword or a katana doesn't require strengh to be used one handed.
3:50 nice dab over there :)
7:38 aaaaand Niko wasnt able to play drums for a while
Brandon's too cool for having sound effects edited into the vid, he makes his own!
Watching this the morning before my first HSC exam as prep... 👌😂
In this video Niko learns why people fight with one hand behind their back. It looks awesome, and keeps your hand from getting cut off.
120 BUCKS FOR A PLASTIC SWORD
I CAN HAVE A REAL ONE FOR THE PRICE HOLY SHIT
It IS a real plastic sword.
Foam*
I could literally make my own for less
Romello Faust
would it look as nice?
Nah but seriously, I got an awesome Master Sword from a local smith for less than a 100 dollars...
6:45
Sam's Mind: My $100 hammer!
*Gets hit in the hand*
"Sorry I was aiming for your stomach".
Priorities.
ok first, i loved the ending with D and Niko and i would have named my medevil sword Sir. Derpington
Who else is visiting their old videos knowing D won't be here anymore
i'd love to show the versatility of the mighty crowbar, it's my favourite tool and weapon!
fight each other with toy lightsabers
These things will break with the first clash.
What about making a bunch of those flame light sabers from a while ago?
There's a few companies out there that make ones for actual dueling but they're a bit pricey since a lot of them are custom orders, but I think some places do supply a base-model for beginners.
www.ultrasabers.com/category-s/53.htm
genesiscustomsabers.com/
www.saberz.com/
(Edit: misspelled a word)
get proper combat lightsabers not dinky little toys
also saberforge has the best i know of but i don't have any combat sabers
Everybody loves D's stylish spins, but what about that no-sell slice Niko pulled off at 7:52 that took the GoPro out? That was beautiful in just efficiency, slight block, damn near instant short chop, nice XD
Naming that last hit from D the "Horizontal D Arc"
8:25
thats why u hold ur hand on ur hip while fencing
Was that the halo gravity hammer sound effect mixed in there at 8:30?
freakyninjaman3 yes lmao
freakyninjaman3 I thought that as well.
Grayden Donner
this kind of stuff is what makes Node Node over exited gamers who play theyre favorite games in real life! love it
You guys should get fake Shields and have some full on medival warfare. It'd be pretty sick!
OMG WE NEEDED ONE OF THESE EPISODES SO BADLY UGH THANK YOU
Tbh D needs a nerf right now he has way to much spin move exp and he honestly has a way to high damage radius Node what have you guys done with your game by adding this Op character! 2/10
Love the little swoosh noises they tend to make in excitement
"Dxcalibur" vs the "Nikoniko no tsurugi" amirite?
7:72 "woooo D-capitated!"
I had to
You guys should get Cold Steel stuff, it's heavier and stiffer than foam, and there are fewer trade kills.
1: slower, more realistic response times for trying to block a weapon. not "Shittier" as you wrongly state.
2: Foam is more of a slapping weapon, and the slower swing speed means hits are more tangible, and only hurt if someone's being an ass about swinging hard.
3: IT'S FOAM COVERING A THIN PLASTIC DOWEL. IT'S GONNA BEND. They were bending from simply being swung. Basic physics or thought would go a long way.
Sorry about the condescension, stressful morning. The cold steel stuff works better because they're weighted more realistically, both overall and weight position. Because of this, you get fewer trade kills because a heavier weapon is a bit harder to swiftly move to block. I use them regularly, and also use foam weapons. The cold steel is generally better in my opinion and experience.
+John Edington, they're not full-time HEMA practitioners though, they're just doing this for fun, if it were the likes of Skallagrim(HEMA youtuber) this comment is indeed valid for the context related to.
i bought the cold steel training swords- trust me, do not. gigantic clubs made of a plastic meant to be as heavy as wood. those things break bones. and no, they handle nothing like a real sword.
I've heard really bad stuff about Cold Steel from the HEMA community, usually always regarding weight and balance
7:54 For a second, I thought D's head was cut off
well, I saw the price and my dream was crushed
8:50
"Ryuujin no ken wo kurae!"
*_whuup whupp_*
_sssshiiiiing_
_fffffpsssssss!_
For Honor in real life
I thought it was a sponsored video when I clicked on it xD
why are they using helmets against plastic swords
I imagine it'd hurt to get stabbed in the eye, even with a plastic sword
Seth Simonson oh thnx then
btw can a Katana pierce chainmail
Once again, Niko and D have the most delicious duels. While they are of course for the rule of cool, it seems the D's spin attacks are actually effective at catching his opponents offguard. he nails a clean blow 2 out of 3 times.
I'm newish to the channel. Is D a trained swordsman? He and Niko both look like they know what they're doing.
No they just do this ALOT and play LOTS of video game.
Believe it or not you can learn to some degree on how to use/do something just by watching it.
This goes for video games as well.
they both practice a bit, and D is just the best at everything all the time
KingBongHogger San Niko and D have done sword classes in college.
Deathly Wraith Proof?
Michael Danger In their video of Katana Fruit ninja, they said it themselves.
Good on you guys for being honest and not promoting the sub-par product
D!!! Can you teach me how to fight like that?!
Niko's skill and D's talent are just too cool to watch
4:02 And now the weab enters the arena.
Lol
the fight between D and Nicko are always the most epic
gotta make better use of that hammer shaft for blocking. Choke up and get in close.
Christopher Knorr thats the exact opposite way to use a hammer you want to stay back using sweeping swings kinda like D did
brice4348 a large wooden sahft wouldnt be that bad for blocking as it would take a ton of direct hits in 1 spot to weaken it
Johnny Green Face im not saying it isnt im saying getting close with a hammer that long is a bad idea and not how its suppose to be used your wanting to hit with the head with as much force in your swing as possible
And Here GentleMen. We See D's Legendary Whirlwind Spin Attack Twice in One Video. Amazing.
Can you convince me that D isn't made of 100% pure anime?
The sword sound effects with the props wobbling around in slow mo is hilarious but
Dang d is a Badass
Not only does D look epic while fighting his hits are really precise and powerful, he is indeed a worthy opponent
I love how everyone becomes sword experts after D does a spin
Yet they don't realize that the only reason D did that was because he was having fun. (They also don't realize D has taken sword lessons before)
I love when D lands a fatal hit and lands in the coolest poses.
Budget sword fights: Go to $2 shop and buy 2 toy foam pirate sword. Get some duct tape and wrap it around the foam blade multiple times, won't hurt but will sting.
D looks like an action hero in every single one of those slow mo shots
don't call me a rasict for calling D a ninja but that guy is literally a ninja
AMD I just realised I was watching grown men play with dummie swords for a living
THAT LAST MOMENT IS SO COOOL!
Sam is the most uncoordinated person I've ever seen. You know he was the last kid picked for the sports teams when he was a kid.
diggles28 Mate fuck off
Diggles28 Wow thats just mean
It would be so cool to get some more videos like this. I always love it when they do LARPing of any kind.
does anyone notice that d always weres all black lol
eRa Lynxy THAT IS SO RACIST, OMG
How is clothing colour racist?
It's not racist since it doesn't offended a specific race
he's a Ninja
@@j_leevemealone You're a fucking dumbass.
fights between Niko and D are always so intense.
A foam katana? fucking $147,00
DUDE!
***** oam is foam. to make that sword they use $20,00
Your right, foam is foam, but there is a degree of quality. It is not the same foam used in mail packaging, and it is not craft foam either. Also if they did make it using 20 dollars what is your point? Every company everywhere does that. Being that the item is a niece market and is made in Canada (a country that has work laws) how do you expect them to make a reasonable profit? How much do you think it costs to make and ship a shirt? How much do you think it costs to ship a game on a disk?
I don't think you really thought about your comment before you posted it. while a 100 dollar foam sword is a lot, it is probably worth it to get high quality (except the mace it was a poor design) item.
TCBC Ik can ship it for only $30... so fucking scam
Where did you get that information for one? For two did you ignore everything I just said. It isn't a scam, for you it is just not worth the price. That doesn't mean it is a scam.
GamingLikeABoss Look up what scam means.
I'm very happy you guys use Calimacil, truly the best of the best when it comes to foam weaponry.
the katana is the best of the 3
DarkSide katanas have shit durability and shit sharpness
D stepping up his shoe game with those Ultra Boosts. Probably why he's got such good spin moves
For anyone interested in the music, it's Nightwish-7 days to the wolves
I wish I could work at Corridor, it's like the hard work is cancelled out by fun and everyone is so nice.
D & Niko's duel with the katana and the long sword... pretty impressive, BTW when you wield long staffed weapons spears, halberds, hammers half staff until an opening appears but great techniques with the blades
Its just amazing how much heart D puts into this. Its beautiful :D
Lol at Sam wielding the hammer like its a sword
D's spin attack just never fails! HAHAHA
