[TF2] The Persian Persuader: Infinite Charge, Infinite Fun 

Certainly a persuasive argument

'If Valve could make the locations of these 'Charge packs' more consistent, Demoknight might see more competitive play' -Lazy Purple

This sword technically does the most consistent damage out of any sword. Genuinely a great weapon. Sure beats trying to pair the Skullcutter with Boots on a server with no random crits.

reaction to a normal hybrid knight: "Oh shit that demo has a sword" reaction to a persian persuader hybrid knight: "Oh shit that demoknight has a grenade launcher"

"Am I a hypocrite? - Yes" Based answer tbh

Equip this with the B.A.S.E. Jumper and Scottish Resistance for a truly useless loadout

As much as Fish hates to admit it, this might be the closest weapon analysis video to "Good Weapon Academy" that we've gotten

Persians are persuading me help

Fun fact about the eyelander, you can keep the heads after switching loadouts simple by turning off the advanced setting of “respawn on loadout change” so not only do you get the benefits of full head eyelander you also get fucking sticky bombs, 205 health, and the speed of scout almost. It is fucking absurd

Persian Persuader + Splendid Screen gives you more charge uptime than walking uptime

There is one major drawback. You cannot "cheers mate" with this sword. And that's why the bottle is still the best weapon in the game. Edit: ayo, guys. You know what? *Bottle reskins in tf2 have always seemed like a strange case to me*

13:51 _Spycrab conservation accomplished_ Mission passed + Respect

that mr moesby vehicular manslaughter was a deep cut

Where is squid milk you promise me huh? I gavee egg to basemment bob as promissed

That's a nice arguement, however, Demopan > Demoknight. The sound of frying pan dealing critical hit is powerful enough to inflict fear onto the enemy team

"Or I'll try to get some easy yet satisfying combos by going from grenades into a mini-crit sword swing." The fact you missed the mini-crit on that scout while saying that brought me physical pain.

I 100% sure that solar is gonna make a (second) hybridknight video where he plays with the Persain Persuader, and make fish look stupid

In the days before the dark times, I used to run Loch-Splendid-Persuader as my go to. The Loch was basically my secondary to get rid of sentries or people backtracking and I just went at people with reckless abandon, timing a shield+swing combo was enough to kill pretty much anything other than an overhealed heavy and really fun, even considering I didn't get to trimping until MUCH later.

Charging endlessly, my beloved.

A rare moment of a Spycrab almost getting slaughtered by a Sword crazed Scottish Cyclops, Luckly for the Spycrab it gets to live for a few moments before a Species called the Scunt makes it dead. 13:52

Crackhead demoknight weapon idea: make the Caber deal massive damage to buildings with the explosion, give it a niche other than "might one-shot a light class once per resupply if the planets align and you sacrifice a goat to Lord Gaben"

i love using the half-zatoichi on hybrid knight. i am not a weeb i am not a weeb i am not a weeb

Oh the days of the pre-jungle inferno persuader where the metal packs gave you health

Persian Persuader is high octane Demoknight gameplay, I actually own two Professional Killstreak Persian Persuaders.

Uncle Dane when he has to destroy all of his buildings because his teammate is making a video on the Persian Persuader:

Im glad youre the one who gets to cover all of these underrated weapons,the way you explain things is so simple yet intriguing

ok but the loose cannon with tide turner absolutely smacks with the persuader

also i love how demo holds the persuader the british way

Guess what,the Persian Persuader is festivizeable

No weapon stat, quirk or level bonus in any video game quite represent the Mel Blanc Tom & Jerry scream like the Persian Persuader does, and If you don't fuck with that I consider you my mortal enemy.

9:56 Feel like the skullcutter is designed to random crit

If I had a nickel for every youtuber who praised the Persian Persuader, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Persuader demos as soon as they have they to use to use an actual primary: 😔😞😢😭😭😭

This is the second video talking about how cool the Persuader is I've seen in the last few days. It's not a lot but it's weird it haooened twice.

The new steel brushed war paint also looks amazing with it.

Alternate Title: Fish complains about scottish sword and golf club for 15 minutes straight

Thanks for teaching me about Mr. Moseby’s sorted past. Really makes that scene of him teaching London hit different.

This Weapon really is the epitome of the Light Cavalry Unit , charging in and being highly mobile but very much capable of retreating quickly .

12:30 that Scout was owned

"Videos like these, are made possible by viewers like you" Brain : New Vegas.

I think the most accurate description of the Splendid screen is “FUCK IT WE CHARGE” Your videos are incredibly good btw you’re doing great :>

Charging in tf2 was always a strange case to me

love the ratchet and clank music you use

Honorable mention: Tide turner + skull cutter

the behelit falling during the intro gave me whiplash

they really just made demoman a more fun sniper.

Truly an eye-opening experience.

12:18 one your charge meter drops below 90% charges end if your total velocity drops below 300 hammer units. This total velocity considers both horizontal and vertical movement.

Darn. He didn't tell us to go out there and charge at every enemy in a chain succession and tell them Fish sent us.

As someone who's been inspired by the likes of SolarLight to pursue the Way of the Demoknight, I actually smiled like an idiot at the very first 5 minutes alone. I'm glad you took your time explaining this weapon.

I have a feeling I’m gunna see a lot more Persian persuader demos now

I have been playing a lot of demoknight recently, but it's mostly with the half-zatoichi. The overheal you can get from it is insane. But with this video and the other video I watched about the Persian Persuader, I might have to switch it out for a bit.

_you have certainly persuaded me to try the persuader once again_

the fish on a stick/tf2 community "the weapon is good so I can't like it"

You forgot the downside of the sheild blocking half the damn sceen.

0:41 Sir, that's your fault, you shortened distance with spy

Persuader Demoknight gives me a similar feeling to playing a Vanguard in ME3. Only with less explosions, ironically.

_"Eat your heart out Kunai, were playing s\*\*ty Demoknight! _*_WHOOO!!_*_ "_ 😹

Never knew about the binds thanks a lot

The man has drank of the fountain of knowledge and realized that the PP is by far the most fun and balanced of the swords. All hail the massive PP and its endless stamina!

People also forget that the persuader is actually more flexible than the other swords in that you don't HAVE to commit, it is equally the best escape tool in that you can use ammo packs on your way out of situations too, and so it is more of a weapon about quick decision making in general.

FSOAS confirmed uncut

O oh, dud dissed demo knight and the eyelander. Prepare to be doxed by solarlight lol

This is basically a battering ram in degroot meadival mode. I love chain meleeing or accidentally shield bash ending the enemy. The main enemy is damage like the baby face for scout. But once you line up and learn the timing you can do MLG chain attacks

Well I’m convinced!

Im glad to see others giving this sword love its very fun

Thanks for the video!

I remember when it used to heal you when picking up ammo pack, that was a fun time.

6:21 "knight" and day... hehehe

I LOVE FULL DEMOKNIGHT WITH THE PERSIAN PERSUADER

HybridKnighting with the Persuader actually taught me to value my shots and properly aim instead of mindless spam.

Demoknight is the only goof-off loadout that has been dignified, by virtue of continual support by Valve via new weapons and balance changes, with the status of "sub-class." It's baffling that they did this.

I LOVE the persian pursuader! I have a strange one! I have a bind where I say, "I have a strange persian pursuader"

This is the tiktok brainrot of demoknight swords due to its upside of 100% charge uptime.

Demoknight should be it's own class to be honest. Give Demoman some new Grenade, Sticky bomb launchers and bottles to compensate while the Knight gets his swords, shields and gets a crossbow so he can still hit people from afar.

That's cool and all but I still want the old persian persuader back

it took me until watching this video to realize the tide turner doesn't give a full crit

The charge crit could also just be tied to the amount of time you've been charging instead of the meter that "definitely won't get touched by anything during a charge other than the charge timer ticking it down absolutely ever right guys"

The Eyelander almost feels like the Ubersaw of Demo’s weapons.

9:47 That reference caught me off guard XD

3:54 bro was shook😭

I guess the persuader functions to eyelander like the big earner does the kunai, the former focuses on mobility and the latter more on health.

The persian seems fun because it lets you play around it's weaknesses instead of negating them, letting you charge more often instead of just making you faster Kills giving you another charge you can use to advance or flee instead of having tanky defense or health Its more active, making it better to fight as or against.

I've always been a full-crit caberknight kinda person. Just appearing out of nowhere and oneshotting some poor player only to barely get away to a resupply is just so funny to me.

On the subject of collecting metal unintentionally: As a proposed fix, maybe you could hit reload to toggle the ammo-to-charge exchange on or off.

Can’t wait to see MvM Persian persuader

Great video, even if I don't play anymore

Hey man saw your stream last night hope you’re doing better!

Fish you gotta try eyelander demoknight on a KOTH map. It's great to wander all over the place fighting anything and everything you see. I'm a big fan of harvest for this. You're basically a walking raid boss who can pick his fights

Persian persuader? Yeah, they probably do have one of those.

The Persian Persuader doesn't handcuff you to demoknight, it straps you in for the ride.

Infinite hardness, infinite fun

I consider this weapon as a "stock" sword, as it's the one with the least game altering stats

FishStickOnAStick more like FishStickOnMyStick...got em

The Persuader is so good for me especially swift water 1st and 3rd

i always play it with the wee booties and tide turner for complete movement efficiency

I love the PP.

Good to know I'm not the only Big Earner enjoyer!

The katana had a short run on 6s as a way to build uber, so even in that regard isn't as punishing for regular demo

The buff could be that the PP's melee crit (and perhaps the crit for all the shields) is based off time spent charging, not how much charge is left in the meter.
