i feel like the oni katana got ruined by making it left handed. in japanese history the sword cover is worn on the left side, so that the katana can be pulled out by the right hand.
The only reason why its left handed is so obvious i get mad whenever i see people not getting it lol, if you use right handed mode all you weapons have to come from the right side of your screen, the animation is not based on wich hand your character is going to use, its based on wich side of the screen the player is going to use.
RGX definitely has a better pullout and I'm not gonna be constantly pressing the inspect animation, especially if I'm in a match and I'm pulling out my knife just to quickly travel a short distance, I don't have enough time to watch the oni katana and all I would be looking at is the handle.
People don’t understand that a crazy pullout animation like the inspection one is a bit disadvantage in term of visibility, it’s easy to create a crazy pull out with a knife or a dagger, but when the katana not so much
@@riccardo1569 thats a really good point ngl. If your gonna see someone with your knife out, however, even with something like the xenohunter knife your gonna get shot or your gonna die so it wouldn't change the outcome of your consequences that much. Just pull out your knife when your safe otherwise your dead no matter what knife skin you have
The price being 5350 for the meele is way too overpriced, its just greed at this point because with the bundle costing 7100 vp, riot literally made it that way for us to think we could just buy the bundle itself for a few extra dollars. And its working- and I feel like at this point they can get away with anything. Im not gonna cop the katana, I'll wait for another Champions bundle because at least its kinda justified as the items are available to cop for a limited time only.
The oni is really good but the pull out is kinda boring idk, rgx really wins it there but when it comes to look and the other animations i would give it to the oni
Katana is more like a decoy price because they know that people want the katana and the 7100VP is pretty much the real price of the bundle and they want to sell more bundles cuz you know it costs more , it's like buying medium Coca-Cola at MCD when the large one costs 50c more decoy pricing , which is scummy from riot. at least make a quick update and invert the hand for the katana , it should be on the left side as per tradition and actual usage instead of the right side, until then i gotta get used to the Left handed valorant option
They’re charging what working adults who play valorant are willing to pay, so I don’t know if we can ever really call cosmetics in a game “scummy” because you don’t have to buy it in the end As to the left/right handed, personally as a left handed person it really bothers me that the right hand draws it
@@diverman1023 ngl that’s a ridiculous statement, the bundle is the same price as it always was and the melee is 3500 for that tier but since they know that people are hyped about the katana they increased the price to an exclusive tier melee but kept the bundle price the same , this is to boost the bundle sales therefore it’s scummy and they could have done more for that price , just because the design is great doesn’t mean that all of the animations are good , the equip animation is lackluster, the attacks could have had different sheeting animations like Butterfly knifes and protocol has for melee attacks but nope just a good inspect animation which you can not spam and a good design that’s all you get and the price of 5350 is only to boost bundle sales because no one wants ares,frenzy and bulldog :) and i’m still buying it but it’s not something we should easily accept

As a super RGX Blade fan, I would definitely say Riot could have done it better. They messed up the holding animation for Right hand. And also the holding animation I don't know it's subjective. I personally didn't like it. For paying so much for the knife you should be able to see the knife but it's only holding it. I do own the RGX blade the holding animation and the inspect both are sick.
I never liked RGX Katana and expected Oni to be the same animation but in Oni style but Riot totally blew me away with these animations, Imo Oni Katana is the best knife in the game
I ddit. Understand the hate at first but now I only kinda get it. Like basically you'll be seeing it sheathed most of time and the default is more blue than red and green. Animations are great thou.
Riot is simply forcing us to get the full bundle, Who in God's name would buy a 5350vp melee from a 7100vp bundle 🤔, they just made the katana that good yet that high priced so u either buy the bundle or piss off 😂
Trust me, the second you wield this massive mother trucker. You will feel like you are an anime character and slowly the power will posses you until you die.
@@africandemon1 every skin gets boring at some point, but well it really comes down to personal preference/ opinion. I have the RGX blade but I don’t enjoy it as much as the xenohunter, thus as far as I seeing the gameplay of the katana it looks great as well as other skins, so yeee
@@africandemon1 How did it became a boring skin? But it has animation that other skin dont have? The skin really feels like a katana because of the scabbard and sht?
It feels so boring to me honestly. Like I don't care in which hand it is, but pull out is horrible, while you just have meele out it is also horrible. Inspect is good, but if just inspect is good, it will get boring really fast.
5350 cost that katana... for sure its not worth it. All because of trash opening animation(katana is just apearing and nothing happend beside that).I think when it comes to choose between animations(opening and inspect)then more important is opening cuz its looks more exclusive and hype on montages I personally prefer og rgx katana.
I dont think its gon be worth for 5k vps....and on top the pull out is not that good, its just a average knife....the community will be crazy about this knife for months prolly then loose interest. But the RGX blade got everything and stands as the best knife in the game.
Lets be honest oni katana is an absolute disappointment that pullout animation just ruins like legit if only they just use the rgx blade animation then ez best melee in the game
i find the rgx holding pose when running blocks a lot of the model and doesnt really have that much vfx so the win goes to oni. Imo the rgx butterfly is a lot better than the blade

Which u buyed ??
@fatesfuneral
yea
Only downside of the rgc is when looking at it at 3rd person view looks like a toothpick.
true i hate that
Lmao it really made me laugh
One looks and feels like a plastic toy, another looks like it can slice through boulders
You know which one is which !
It’s fire (oni 2.0 knife) but animation feels like Fortnite axe

Am sorry for that bro, but what you said its a joke 🙏, katana now its the best one i think you buy the rgx one,
People who Say RGX is better is malding cuz they can't afford the oni katana
thank you for this can you do all the different grabing meless in their third person coz their sizes are different than usual
waitin for the content for new battlepass

same thing for oni tbh, the proportion makes it look like a toy katana with flashy leds, mainly the habaki is too huge
The katana is left handed because it's a mischief
If use right side, it become justice

im hearing that the oni katana going to be 5350 :( , this true?
Yes
For me, rgx is better especially the pull out animation. Katana not worth a 5k vp
They are both wonderful and yet im stuck using my celestial fan 😒
celestial fan is nice but it got boring after a few matches 😭
Is it possible to hold melee with the other hand but keep guns right-handed? I don't understand why the katana is held left-handed by default
