Martial Artists React to God of War Ragnarök - Ігри
I found this Thor so intimating and so much more powerful than MCU Thor.
And more of a jerk.
@@deanospimoniful he had a rough life. can't blame him that much.
i doubt mcu thor was ever meant to be intimidating from the start, he was (in the same first movie) hated at the start then loved at the end, but neither were related to intimidation, and despite what people think (last two movies) he was always meant to be comedic
They picked a good voice for thor too
It's not a competition, both are interpretations of Thor. MCU Thor is based on both myth and comics whilst GOW Thor is just myth, because of this Marvel have many more ways they can make the character
they should have shown off the heimdall fight, there's actually implementation of technique and its wonderfully done
The only noteworthy techniques I noticed while playing is Kratos using elbows and knees against Bjorn, and of course the tenacious boxing against Heimdal.
@@My6119 yeah a better example would be back in GOW4 where he put the hands on baldur in their first fight
@@rupturedtides4831 He came at him like Braun Strowman.
Kratos: I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU
When Heimdall fights Atreus the first time the animations of Heimdall parrying and dodging arrows and strikes are some of the best animations in the entire game.
@@Jagernotty it's like as if you're fighting against Ip Man
they need to react to the heimdall boss fight that fight is incredible
Kratos threw the nasty hook and Bob
that fight was good because once heimdall's power was overcome it was just a straight beating
@@kingartisonNASTY
Yes
FACTS Heimdall was dodging until he got hit
Disappointed they didn't get shown Heimdall. Would've liked to see if they catch what Kratos does is the 3 scenes where Kratos lands a hit on him.
people would be angry about them showing the spear.
those same people are probably angry having learned that Atreus is a playable character.
@TheoreticalExistence yea, but people find a way to be angry about anything. It still would've been cool since that part was one of the coolest imo, it shows Kratos is not just a brute.
@@theoreticalexistence9630 it's their own fault if they got spoiled. Why would you watch a game content on youtube, you know there will be spoilers.
@@theoreticalexistence9630 yea but why would you click on this video if you hadn't played the full game yourself?
@@rayvincyful1 my point exactly.
I would have liked to see the spear too.
Kratos isn't holding the chain and the sword, he holds the swords and the chains are wrapped around his arms extremely tightly (they even use to be physically attached and apart of him before)
Edit: after looking at the design of them, it looks like the chains are attached to the armor on Kratos's forearm as well.
yes but when he throws a sword and whips with it, some of the chain has to unravel and he has to pull it back without hitting himself
The chains are still part of him. He can never truly get rid of them as they always come back if he throws them away
I love the Blades of Chaos but I never did fully understand how they worked, I mean ya obviously the chains are supposed to be attached to the blades but they just dont make sense to me sometimes because what they should be showing is the chains attached to the swords and yey every now and then you can clearly see that they aren't, for example when he puts them on his back you can see the chains aren't wrapped up in the handle and so on. So what's the deal there like how does that work or make sense and after they were taken off and he put them back on how does that work too because weren't the chains supposed to be like literally seared into his armes, hence the scars
@@gbtygfvyg how'd you know that?
@@damn6039 It's shown in one of the comics. Kratos tried (a lot) to get rid of the blades after destroying the Greek Pantheon. However whenever he woke up from a nap the blades would teleport to his location.
Should've shown them the heimdall boss battle instead. Since hiemdall uses martial arts in a sense.
true, Heimdall's dodging is actually pretty tight, the person who mo capped him has definitely done boxing
That boss fight against Thor was the first one, there's a 2nd and final one against him towards the end of the game.
They can’t read your comments during the video
There's not a third one, there's only two times you'll fight Thor.
Yea, but it's such an epic fight, it's definitely believable final boss fight in the game. To hear it's the first fight is kind of wild.
@@Calekoflight you know what else was an epic fight? I don’t think you’re ready for this.
Not even 20 seconds in and we already get a cheeky joke from Gemma. It's why we love her 😂
Yeah, she is the best.
Heimdall boss fight had so much detail to it
Initially he throws some powerful punches to gauge heimdall and throughout their fight kratos switches to fast strikes to overwhelm his foresight and lays one one in, it was very satisfying and well thought of
U beat me to it
Yall don't have proof to of the "gauging" thing, he was just getting out-paced by heimdall. His actual switch-up, apart from the spear, was forcing Heimdall into situations where even if Heimdall can tell what's going to happen, he physically can't avoid the hit
@@CL-vw5bbbro go back and watch that again, he throws those combos faster and faster each time. 2nd time landing on his bracers and third time decking him in the face
@@SpdDemonAL yes..? do you think I missed that...?
@@CL-vw5bb we can clearly see whats going on. He tests his response times the 1st time, takes advantage of this to force him to block a faster attack the 2nd time and in the third he doenst just get faster, he leads heimdell into blocking again but this time kratos grabbed the bracer and yanks him into a punch so he cant dodge.
The Rope Dart MIGHT be a real world equivalent to the Blades of Chaos. When you play as Atreus, you might notice that his moves are much more inspired by existing martial arts. His bow works a lot like a staff or club since it's more of a bludgeoning attack. His combos seem to include something like a spin kick. He doesn't hit as hard as Kratos, but he's more nimble and a bit faster in his attacks.
Another one I'm thinking of is the kusarigama, the sickle with a chain attached to the weight. If I remember correctly though it was more about swinging the weighted end to entangle your opponent before closing in to attack with the sickle. Still, I'd imagine the weighted end could do some hefty bludgeoning damage too and may be the equivalent to swinging heavy blades attached to a chain!
"Blunt" lol bludgeoning, holy 5 word essay to describe how a teen uses his fully body to exert force.
No, the best equivalent would be chains with no blades on them, since that's how Kratos uses them. In reality the blades would be nearly useless because it's impossible to control the edge alignment, so you'd just be smacking foe with the chains.
This really helps you to appreciate the effort they put in the details, animation, and martial art choreography.
"very hard weapon to use"
When you have like 7 games to practice with chain swords you pick up how to and how no to use em
and some supernatural (in that reality's own right) assistance in the middle of all those more Material-bound training and such of this guy's.
the blades were way more useful in the og games tho
@@tiagosilva2349 not much surprising as the first saga had the longest run of those blades of chaos' of this old franchise's.
Gemma and Yoshi need to see both Judgment games. That is literally their field.
No spear combat? I feel like it’s one of the most accurate portrayals of spear combat I’ve seen in games.
Barely any barehanded combat either. I'd imagine these two would have a lot more to say about spear and barehanded combat than bow melee and blades of chaos.... 🙄
That ain't fat on Thor, that's muscle
Edit: okay, point made. my b
It's both
@@williamleonardreesejr.1992 fair retort
Fair enough
Muscle Thor
People have argued this Thor is like a strongman body like Brian Shaw
Best action sequences I’ve ever seen in any game
Thor and Kratos fight is one of the best fight in the gaming history so far
It was not that good calm down😂😂
How was it the best fight? It was good at most and mediocre at worst
@@senatorstevenarmstrong6703 it was amazing. Your bugging. God of thunder vs god of war. The hype building up to the fight. The scaling, the music, they way they both talk trash to each other as two of the strongest gods fight to kill each other. It’s so badass y’all are hating big time
@@senatorstevenarmstrong6703 if you're talking about the gameplay, it's the guy playing the game that's the problem, he doesn't know how to be creative in a game
The dialogue was CRINGE 😬
The mocap was cool but voice actors in this game were just something else. Can't recommend it enough.
So was Star citizen, dragon age, and Avatar. Love how were relying subjective emotional value cus you can't tell an objective aspect of the game due to the hindering gaming literacy of 25min cutscenes of handholding how to think and feel. Hint: it's more dynamically engaging as implemented verticality, when boss fights are lease exciting due to go flat ground set locations.
@SL4PSH0CK try being even more incoherent, it'll be funny, surely.
Gemma: Do you see Chun-li having any of his move or weapons maybe using the Bow and arrow?
"are those swords? or they're like whips!" bruh imagine watching god of war and not knowing about the blades of chaos.
Its so fun to watch their reaction videos
and Gemma's puns😆
Gemma not only has the best and funniest reactions, but she explains things hella well right after. 7 time champ for a reason 💖💪
Why didn't you have them react to Kratos vs Heimdall? That boss fight had actually an interesting combat with Kratos testing Heimdall's abilities and adapting in order to get a hit.
I'm glad I'm not the only martial artist reacting to this dope game
It's not like there's much to talk about.
@@SwordTune that's fair, they removed the bare-handed skill tree
3:17 Thor just had the biggest power move in video game history.
Picture if the next god of war took
Place in Egyptian times or colonial
Times?
Kratos beating the hell out of a pharoh
Or red coat.
Or dark ages.
The possibilities are endless.
Egypt, Japan or Indian Mythologies. I want them to visit those 3
I think they should end it right here.
Kratos during the revolution? He gonna be going wild with a musket.
@@angelwilliams8965 nah, give him a hand cannon, berserk type.
I love the new GoW games and just came across these Martial Artists react videos yesterday, what are the odds lol 👌🇨🇦 happy new year!
Always looking forward to watching you guys react. Really fun and insightful! Btw Yoshi really awesome seeing you in the movie Bullet Train! Great acting! 🙂
The beauty of that Thor fight is Thor at this moment is basically in the same place as Olympus Trilogy Kratos. He's basically fighting his past self, and Thor has that same fury and relentlessness that Kratos had as he raged against Olympus and the traitorous Titans.
But the thing is, Thor isn't as strong as kratos nor was he going full power, he wasn't even going full power in the last fight and was throwing Thor like a ragdoll
Dang, you go Gemma! I never knew she did motion capture for Atreus. I hope we have a martial arts driven game like Sleeping Dogs and see Gemma as a character.
This was really cool them talking about it because God of war is one of my favorite games
I was very impressed with the fights in this game. Singular attacks can seem very wild and committed, but the contrast with the perfect execution of a complicated combo is beautiful
Gemma's OST is 100% played using a kazoo.
These 2 gotta be my favorite duo
Simple: I see Gemma and Yoshi, I thumbs up.
really enjoyed the hell out of this game
Since shocking a stopped heart does nothing it implies that thor hit kratos so hard that he had a heart fibrillation event. Basically thor gave kratos a heartattack and defib'ed it for him because it would have been boring otherwise. :D
Don't know why they skipped that punch that wrecked Thor's shit at the end of the boss fight
I like the way each of the god fight in this game, they're all unique and fits the characters well, my favorite would either be Hiemdall, Thor or Baldur. The mocap for both of the Norse God of War games were on point
Good stuff! Would have been fun to see a couple more runic abilities, though
For the Blades Of Chaos the chains wrap around these guards on his forearms as he only holds the small hilts of the blades in his hands
I have beaten god of war 4 atleast 13 times and after so much gameplay, it becomes and instinct to dodge at the right time and even knowing the dialogue😊
This is going to be great!
I would love to see all three martial artists who have been featured on this channel to react to the weapon kata scenes Dante does when he gets a new weapon from Devil May Cry 3 ,4 and 5.
I wish they had explained the Chaos Blades.
I would've loved hearing their takes on the realism of the chains being wrapped around Kratos' FOREARMS, with the Blades in his actual hands.
I'd love to see these guys react to and possibly play Virtua Fighter, since it draws from so many real fighting styles
5:15 that technique is called hitstop. The animation is slowed while the game detects the character dealing damage to mimic the effect of a blade catching material.
Not sure why we needed martial artists reacting to this but cool
Hey, make them react to Combat Gods II, the stick fight one from Jhanzou. The second one actualy has some cool martial arts moves that their imput would interresting to see
Well it would have been even more awesome if both of them were back in one room reacting together.. but still awesome to see em back reacting here
A bit of story about the blades that Kratos uses which are swung around like whips : they are called the Blades of Chaos and while it seems like Kratos is holding the chains, they were originally fused to his flesh in his younger days.
As such, while the swings look smooth and controlled, they are literally an extension of Kratos to the point that it wouldn't be far-fetched to say he might actually be able to control their trajectory mid-swing given how accurate and deadly he was using them both in and out of combat.
Though by the time of God of War : Ragnarok, those aren't fused to his body anymore, it's somewhat understood that they can still be used like they were while the chains pretty much keep themselves wrapped to his arms when he uses them.
The Blades of Chaos that Kratos was using in the 2nd half are bound with magic, so the chain retracts and extends when Kratos himself wants it to, allowing him to use a two handed style weapon (chain with one hand blade for the other) with just one hand/arm, and in turn allow him to dual wield two blade-chains.
Johnny Cage: “Kratos, I thought you’re dead.”
Kratos: “I was.”
Sonya Blade: “What are you doing here?”
Kratos: “Trying to stop that.”
Thor: *appears* 🌩
"Is this the final battle?"
This shows how bizzare and long this 1st fight is
Sad they didn't include the Heimdall fight fight scene where Kratos's punches get so much faster and more unpredictable he slips through Heimdall's foresight and lands a hit on him
I would love to see them react to the Heimdall fight.
I don't want to be spoiled so just gonna drop this here.
Can we please have Martial Artists react to Bloody Roar? Please
Ok. These two know each other very well if was able to recognise some of the mocap movements as hers.
here before this getting in everybody recommendations !
Hell yeah! Gemma in GoWR? ..rad.
I know Gemma, Noah, and Yoshi react to games on this channel but I honestly would love them to do a reaction to all the fight scenes in Raid redemption and raid 2. Just saying if you are reading Gemma, Noah, and Yoshi. Love you guys.
That fork-like weapon is a 'mancatcher'. It's designed to pin a person to a wall or the like around the neck with those tines.
I'm surprised they didn't react to Kratos outboxing Heimdall. that combo was so clean
I'd like to see them react to the finishing moves of the different weapons in Ragnarok
The axe slowing down when hitting something like thor is actually a mechanic in the game, its not a seperate animation its code, you see it very clearly in games like monster hunter, im not sure how it works or the correct term for it but i do know what it is, for those wondering.
2:50 I like this shoulder throw, it’s sloppy and probably can’t do it like that in real life but when you have super strength you can get away with that.
Happy new year from vietnam folks🇻🇳
The blades of chaos stand above all video game weapons truly iconic
Idea: Have Tim "Spike" Davis and Kinga Philipps react to something together. I'm really interested to see them teach each other in their own fields.
We are STILL waiting for these guys to react to Lost Judgement
9:30 the chains are attached to his arms (they used to be burned into the flesh, but now they are just bound with magic)
This was the best one so far of kratos they make it so funny and explaining everything
From a mocap standpoint probably weighted rope from a lore standpoint the chains were magically grafted into his arms when he was human. once he became a god he became able to detatch them. He just can't get RID of them. (He tried. They came back.)
Always relate this Thor to Whiskeyjack and I don’t even know why
“he has so many layers of fat” my sister in christ, that is a noris god, that is pure muscle.
Awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥
If your first boss fight has people wondering if it is the final boss fight, you have one of the biggest wins.
9:25 Kratos doesn’t have to hold the chain. The magic keeps it connected to his forearms. In the original trilogy they were seared into his skin.
1:13 "how is he alive"
My guy *he is literally a god*
"Is this the final boss?" meanwhile being literally the first enemy in the game
You two should do an analysis of Jet Li and Jackie's movies like Wheels on Meals, Once Upon A Time in China 2 or Drunken Master 2. Those are considered some of the best Hong Kong martial arts flicks in the 90s. Or maybe modern Donnie movies like Flashpoint and SPL aka Killzone.
I just developed a huge crush for Gemma, damn.
I'm disappointed by the lack of Heimdall here. Perfect opportunity for them to react to his buttery smooth movement.
the red blades on chains are the blades of chaos and magically stay wrapped on his arms so they dan come off
Those chains are magically bound to his wrists and the blades detach but he cannot remove the chains. Also , heimdall fight please. This game is so good
If only they got GBG to do the gameplay for this, they would be mind blown from the combos
Please react to the game called "god hand" it was released on the ps2.
So many cool fighting moves.
It was an amazing beat em up game and still is.
Very underrated.
Gamology please make Gemma & Yoshi react to 'Lookism Anime' or 'Lookism Webtoon', cause they would both love the abundant and mix martial arts that's in there, plus a lot of viewers would also like it a lot
Love all Gemma's bad puns
Y'all need to react to the Heimdall fights!!!
"Whoa in the game they like, give you a death screen and then like..... THATS DOPE"
This guy ^
I love the fact that they understand this is a game and react in that premise unlike IGN experts who straight up bash the game for being completely unrealistic
1:13 his belly fat acted as an extra layer of natural body armor which saved him from a lethal blow. The axe just pierced a layer of fat or 2 while not hitting his vital organs.
If he was built like Chris Hemsworth he’d be dead.
Fun fact, Roman Gladiators would put on weight in their chest and stomach areas so that fat acts as an extra layer of protection against blows that are landed in order to protect their vital organs, they’ll get hurt but they’ll still be alive to keep the fight going as the weapon would only penetrate the first few layers of fat, this would not be for through and through wounds.
Great video.
Dang, was hoping for the Heimdall fight
I love how you two have never played any GOW games so you appreciate it that much more. And those aren’t whip blades. them there are CHAOS BLADES. A staple of GOW. and I recommend you watch the first fight in the previous one where he gets punched through his house.
We needed the heimdall boss fight and the draupnir spear
I think the blades (whips) are purely animated. The mo-cap artist probably swings swords or nothing at all for the recording, and chains are added in post.
Yo, if y'all can edit out the bugs, I think Gemma and Noah and Yoshi would LOVE Gotham knights gameplay!!! Let me watch Noah fangirl over Nightwing
Show them the Heimdal fight Guys
