Hellish Quart - 38 Kill Survival Streak with Marta 

Strongest swordsmen in Japan not Europe, China, Mongolia, Middle East JAPAN!!!

_Pretty_ [citation needed] given the amount of outright legend around the guy and the usual embellishments over the centuries. The timeline on Wikipedia lists some 13 and that's _incuding_ the ones where the actual historical existence of the opponent is a matter of some contention like Sasaki Kojirō and Shishido... Also for the record not all fought with swords, nor were all the duels mortal - the _musha shugyō_ would not have been a terribly viable tradition in general had that been the rule.

He was crafty though. He used to intentionally turn up late so his opponents would be frustrated and tired.

@@2gunzup07 Of course, at the time no swordsman travels the world in a Boeing to prove itself like an Street Fighter franchise. Even the Europeans, Chinese, Mongolian and the middle easterns don´t do that either.

@@mindoftheswarm7 My boss uses the same tactics with me.

Is not the soundtrack the same as in The Witcher 3?

The scimitar slashes remind me of Hearts of Stone a lot! Nice catch

@@hkruso not the same composers as TW3 but definitely inspired by it

​@@athmaidits just from slavic folklore and a lot of Polish regional music. It dosent sound like Witcher. Its simply Polish sounding

Oh wow that actually explains a lot. I remember all the medival combat nerd youtubers were talking about how everyone but Geralt fights super realistically.

Bro, worth it.

Least enjoyable part for me

It's like she's saying, "I'm done with this chump. Bring in another, Jeeves." LOL!

Snap and head roll!!!lol hilarious!!

Snap and then hair flip

This and the fact you can finish a fight with a good hit in the hand that holds the sword...

Not exactly realistic. Most people can survive multiple stabs and live to tell the tale.

@@therambler3713in real life once you were stabbed and injured you would be stabbed again

Did you use a controller for this game?

@flygirlsonly in an unorganized fight, yeah, you would get stabbed into oblivion. However, duels had strict codes of conduct, similar to modern Olympic style competitions. Most duels weren't to the death, although many combatants died, even "winners." That's another thing I liked. Even if you win, you're in danger of opponents that are willing to go for double kills.

You don't practice anything close to hema or weapons combat, stop trying to act tough online

The dress also makes it hard to see her footwork

*Snap* "Attendant! Clean up this mess."

Also longer weapon does a lot here

Maya Habee Thanks for the video😄 Sometimes you come across videos on RU-vid that you don't know why they were recommended to you😓 Still, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

Me neither

Same 😂

I haven’t but I know why it was…

It got recommended because RU-vid knew you’d like it

Oh they _could_ be quite drawn out if both sides knew what they were doing and played it safe. But if fought without armour they tended to end very quickly once someone scored a telling blow.

in plate armour these fights would go on forever

​​@@Ikaisu. As far as I know, in plate armor, the fight can also turn into a brawl/wrestling, too, not just a pure sword fight anymore

Not really

​@@broadbandislife nah we have french records from the time, one unarmored duel took over 2 hours and the combatants were horribly wounded by the end. You forget that adrenaline makes you feel way less pain

Except the awkward win animations

I stayed for the musketeer chick losing an eye every time!

6:08 the best one, she briefly looks to the camera.

She fights with (and represents) Destreza - the Spanish form of Rapier fencing. It's focused on maintaining an upright, hard to approach posture and making as little swings/lunges as possible, with the idea being that the opponent will basically have to walk into your sword just to get you. When done correctly it's one of the most satisfyingly "effortless" styles out there.

​@@iannordin5250 El imperio español y su forma de lucha no han sido aprovechados por el cine y los videojuegos, hay una rica historia de guerra que nada tiene que envidiar a los grandes imperios de la historia. Me he sentido feliz al ver éste videojuego

Literally? Not figuratively but literally?

@@theincrediblefella7984 yes

@@diyma3462literally dude so literal

he took multiple stabs that fight

​@@kringle7804it was the physical representation of record breaking

Well, rapier styles in general tended to keep the weapon towards the enemy to make full use of its length and control the engagement distance. The particular variety she uses is the Spanish _La Verdadera Destreza,_ "the true skill/art" so named because its creator wanted to draw a distinction to what he called the "common" or "vulgar" styles being taught at the time, which REALLY leaned hard into that aspect. Also had the interesting quirk that its creator drew heavily on Classical geometry and Humanist learning for philosophy and inspiration and tried to apply a fair bit of mathematics to optimise the stances and movements. Which was bluntly put a bit of a pretentious affectation only too typical of the era with its raging hard-in for Antiquity but eh, it worked well enough. 🤷

Rapier fencing is alllllll about controlling that direct line

​you would know about pretentious

@@kidkique Oh look, a rando 13 yo. drive-by troll with absolutely nothing meaningful to say

​@kidkique Thought you did something, huh lil boy? Brodie didn't say the word pretentious and you used that weak roast set-up 😂😂

really🥶🥶🥶

The legendary fight against the Moor.....It's classical !

**Snaps**

I was thinking the same thing, flicked that sword into orbit. XD

I know enough.

Bushido blade was an amazing game!

Bushido blade 1&2

This game is very similar to Bushido Blade, relying on the physics of the player model and the blade. Basically a spiritual successor of Bushido Blade with a European setting.

I found a Rock Paper Shotgun article of this game where they say the developer outright states they were inspired to make this game by Bushido Blade.

Thank you Magical Chemistry for your comment! By the way, this game is currently on sale and can be purchased at a discount♪

​@@DarNori_Gaming this isn't a vr game?

​@@TalynStormcrow How could that be a VR game?

is an Spanish guard, also called as "La verdadera destreza"

@@edumagurukthraka3063 Hey, thanks for adding that. I love learning new things, especially foreign terms relating to sword fighting. 👍🤙

@@hadrianwall9157 You're welcome Bro! :)

If I can recommend a movie, I suggest you watch Alatriste if you like this type of combat. @hadrianwall9157

Thanks for subscribing, T C♪ I just happened to get a good result and I can't play the same way anymore, but I will continue to enjoy Hellish Quart!

TBF _La Verdada Destreza_ made something of a point of dignified posture and bearing. Also had some weird quirks like trying to optimise movements on the basis of Classical geometry and suchlike IIRC but that's the Renaissance and its out of control sexual fetish for Antiquity for ya.

Thanks for that. I'm really surprised they thought they had "A true way" to fence. I didn't think anyone but the Japanese were developing their sword arts that way. And that they used geometry in their movements? Wow. That's why fencing is so badass. Add science, and physics it gets you closer to the truth. You can do it that way, or practice in peasants, Like the Japanese.

@@TC-xh5wp That kind of bragadaccio was actually routine. Pretty much _every_ olden-time fighting treatise I've parsed, the author boldly proclaimed HIS particular take on combat with this-or-that weapon was nothing short of the foundation of all fighting skills or something similar. It's mostly just the usual warrior chest-beating and more banally _marketing spiel._ Lest we forget these were almost to a man _professional combat instructors_ who made their living teaching their stuff and usually wanted to leave a living tradition behind, as people are wont. They had every possible incentive to oversell their arts in their writings - and this goes for their peers elsewhere too obviously. Many of the claims Miyamoto Musashi makes in his writings need to be taken with due grains of salt for the same reasons for ex. As an aside the "foundation of all fighting" blather isn't complete BS as such under all the wanton hype. Human biomechanics and basic physics are the universal constants regardless of the weapon, so the same fundamental stances and movements and principles keep reoccurring almost independent of context - if you parse illustrated treatises on say Late Medieval longsword and _kenjutsu_ you're going to see a whole lot of the same foundationals. Lots of overlap between two-handed swords and polearms too for same reasons. (The European civilian pokey-sword tradition had some to my knowledge fairly unique stuff simply because no direct analogues to the rapier and smallsword evolved elsewhere.)

@@broadbandislifeWow, you know your stuff, thank you! It seems to me that if you're teaching, or developing a style that's being used in life or death battles, you should focus your style on how to kill the quickest. Which is interesting, because there were so many styles. Today, for me, fencing is the truth. Kenjutsu looks great in a movie, and can kill, but fencing wastes so little time.

Friday nights in Krakow hood _circa_ 1640 be like:

I'll be positive and think that she has just enough strength to do so :3

yea pretty unrealistic in that regard

Finally someone noticed.

@@FullRevive7why cause she’s a woman? 🙄

Ever heard deflect or parry? Also you can't block like fighting the force, it's about to use opponent's force into your advantage. And you can't make contact with blade too.

Thanks for watching the video, The Engineer♪ I hope you will be able to play it on Xbox in the future👍

It's also MOCAP so that kinda helps.

Not really

@@JediMindG In single combat the distinction between "no longer able to fight" and "stone dead" was pretty much in the hands of the victor ya know.

ok. from south korea ❤

Why do you have a stupid usa flag? Lol​@@lIlIlllIlllIlIlI

Kiborg Joe thanks for your comment♪ I appreciate you finding my channel😄

Thanks Oversama for watching the video😄 Thanks for noticing the little details in the video♪ The loading screen is not necessary for those who watch the video, so I cut it out in the video editing I'm really glad you noticed that！

@@DarNori_Gaming I had considered that possibility, but thought most people would probably be too lazy to edit it out, haha. Glad I to be proven wrong! Keep up the great work!

Jake The Asian Guy Thanks for watching the video😄 I can relate so much! I tried Survival Mode with Malta this time and happened to win 38 straight games, but I still felt that Marie was easier to handle and fight the way I intended I will have to try Survival Mode with all the swordsmen, but I think Marie will have the best results!

I suggest a more defense and counter attack oriented mentality when fighting with Marta. Really embody the idea of getting your opponent to walk themselves onto your blade.

You gotta move on diagonals and use sidestep attacks constantly. If they are too focused on defending from your attacks that’s when to use her slow cuts which in my opinion are meant to be cancelled and rolled into more side step attacks and combos. As if when you finally have someone afraid of her long reach diagonals she’s saying, “is the what you expecting? No? Perhaps this? No? Or maybe this?” Move on diagonal Sidestep attack Cancel exaggerated cut attacks Sidestep attack! Use straight attack combos once you have them afraid to push buttons

La verdadera Destreza is just, make the opponent dance with his death, there is no much about trhust in the destreza, just atajos and counter attacks

Thanks for watching the video, Murkrust♪

I would be so happy if my video helped you to get to know Hellish Quart! Thank you for letting me know in the comments😄
