- If you're new to the series and need to know how I grade, watch this video: • "THAT'S An Execution" ...
The time has come to review and grade the heavy characters in For Honor, and we're starting off with Warlord himself! I do feel like Warlord's executions went over quite surprisingly, but I think ya'll will like it!
TIME STAMPS
1:40 Targeted Strike
3:20 Final Slumber
5:02 Best Offense
6:54 Can't Punch This
8:32 Norse Guillotine
10:52 Smack in the Face
13:29 Nailed Down
15:21 Head on a Platter
18:07 Attitude Adjuster
19:47 Viking Elbow
22:06 Beat Down
23:54 Head Scissor
25:01 Shield Bash
26:49 Cumbered Bash
29:08 Head Carrier
30:48 Heartattack
32:19 Like a Stuck Pig
34:49 FINAL SCORE
I believe the attitude adjuster is a reference to John Cena’s signature move the attitude adjustment where he would flip the opponent in a similar way.
I was about to make a similar comment. I appreciate you beating me to it.
32:48 actually if you're losing that much blood, you'd want to keep the blade stuck in to prevent any more bleed out. the blade's presence being lodged in partially blocks the loss, and removing it would cause massive hemorrhaging
About the wresting move execution: there was a style of martial arts used by Norsemen called Glima. While we don’t know exactly how the moves were done back then, it is still practiced in the modern day. However, it is possible for a Viking to do something similar to what Warlord based on a few moves I’ve seen on YT and even old drawings. Not exactly the same, but similar. Remember, not all wrestling moves are unique to a specific time and culture.
30:22 my best guess based on his reaction was that he might’ve just meant to slit the throat and when he flips him, since the connection to the body was already weakened in a way, the counter weight causes the head to come off since Warlord looks kinda confused/ surprised for a second
4:47 I don’t think it’s the fact that warden is fighting back where the warlord tries to get it out, in medieval times, swords would get stuck in the rib cage and it’s realistic because swords will get stuck and I don’t think warden is far enough for a shield bash because of how low the velocity would be.
Wrong timestamp but good point
I don't have nailed down yet, but one thing I like about it is I always associate it with a vendetta killing. I don't see it as "goofy" I see it as warlord finding someone who has wronged him or someone he loved in the past. And at that point he doesn't care about efficiency or quickness. It's all about the horror and anger in the strikes. Just my take.
Sounds truly like Apollyon
@@LLLs4meloser
Thats what I'm saying I like those sort of executions because they feel personal
I think Warlord is the first character to get 3 perfect 100% executions. Do correct me if I'm wrong on that one, but I think that is marvelous of him.
I love Warlord, he's just cool and makes Orochi players cry salty tears.
The crying or Orochis is my favorite part
@@galaxvexxtheholy Same. Down on the stick and... Orochi deflecter activated. A parry to their unblockable and they're pretty much dead.
Laughs in Orochi top heavy unblockable through full guard lol
I'm an Orochi main but don't worry, I'm no spammer😂
@@Kurt20051YT parry.
@@AWholeLegionary That's the thing though, they don't parry ub top heavy most of the time. I'm not the best player but I'd say I'm slightly above average for a rep70 Orochi main.
(No hate btw tho, Idk if it seemed that way with my 1st comment)
I’m ready for my favorites to get low scores as usual lol. It’s fair grading but I usually love the hand to hand executions🤷🏻♂️
As someone who has a wrestling warlord, I like the meme of warlord being a medieval pro wrestler. Even use the polar aurora illustrious outfit to make it a bit more comical and similar to costumes. I do hope that during his hero fest he gets a good execution that also scores another 100%
Considering warlord is an og hero, I'm not sure he's gonna get one but id love to be surprised.
if I remember well, most OG Viking heroes have an execution that references pro wrestling in some way.
Berserker has the dropkick, Raider has the Chokeslam, Warlord has the Attitude Adjustment.
@@Shiftinggers raider also has the back breaker as well and traditional Viking salute both references to old school wrestling
@@EbikiiGemflame backbreaker is a more reference to Bane breaking Batman's back in the comics.
@@Shiftinggers still an og wrestling move, personally I'd like to see a pocket sand execution
"sees Larry getting pummeled by Warlord"
"AD MORTEM, INUMECUS!"
NOL SUPERSTES *ledges*
Warlord out here dispensing THE PEOPLE’S ELBOW
23:07 may not have blown your mind, but definitely blew the wardens mind.
I´m really looking forward to this one, Warlord has some of my favorite executions. His mix of brutal, elegant and funny makes me happy.
PS: if you give a low rank to his "Beat down" or " Attitude adjuster" then I will be very mad. I will unsubscribe and write an angry message.
Funny you mention those… XD
They both got the exact same score.
@@RavenKnightYTthey´d better be good! They might not be lethal, but they are satisfying. I´d better be seeing top scores for cool factor. My feelings are at risk here, you´d better deliver.
@@RavenKnightYT two 94% is acceptable, I am happy
raven knight would you be willing to discuss the personalities of the for honour cast and how their move sets and executions express that personality
I love these, keep it up
These vids are sick man 🙏
Warlord and highlander are my mains, warlord was my first of course, I love him, his executions, some people don't like them cuz many aren't very flashy, (the opposite of highlander) but of many of the characters, I think warlord's are some of the most historically accurate, there's a reason the sword and board withstood the test of time, it's efficient, it's defensive and offensive, many people underestimate the destructive potential of a shield bash, especially with the edge of a shield, on deadliest warrior they actually measured a shield bash to the head by the edge of a spartan hoplite shield, it's numbers were comparable to being struck in the face by a car going nearly 40 miles an hour! It was even worse when you consider that force was on a surface to the face only a few inches wide, easily capable of cracking a skull open, collapsing eyeballs, crushing the nose into the skull, I love what they did with most of warlord's executions
But there's such a crisp sound to the kick in head scissors.
I love Warlord's executions, shame that I just can't stand playing him
One thing to note with Smack in the Face is the Warden is looking over his should at Warlord before getting hit, which would increase lethality. I think the score is appropriate but that this wasn't addressed. When you maximally engage in one direction of your neck, your flexibility in other directions is dramatically reduced. This is why you can't look over your shoulder and bring your head down the same amount as if it was looking forward - you can move a fraction of that amount. So to me there is no doubt that that strike, which would definitely cause the head to shoot back a good deal, would have broken the neck at that angle. (His head does shoot forward into normal position just as impact occurs, but that looks more like gameplay stuff with the rigging than an actual intended detail meant for the execution)
"use your head Warlord !"
*New headbut execution*
With head carrier, I don’t think he CUTS off the head. It looks more to me like Warlord slices mostly through, so he rips it off with the flip. Now, I still don’t think that’d actually work (without ripping out the spine at least), but I don’t think a 1 was warranted.
With head carrier he only slits the front of his throat, he uses the wardens own weight to snap the rest of the neck off, still wouldn't make your head fall off but just thought I'd help clear that up
I feel like the Norse guillotine should have a higher efficiency because when warlord is pushing warden into the trap he pulls out his sword and shield to ready himself
I personally like the variety of ways he kills, because then you would have a higher amount of personality between load outs
Fair grades overall I’d say!
Gonna do Conqueror next, one of the other classic heavies or a harbinger?
19:11 i think the reason its called the attatude adjuster may be a refrence to john cenas wwe finisher where he taes his oppenet over his shoulders and slams them down (like warlord did) which is called the attatude adjustment (previusly called F U) just like the vikings elbow if a refrence to the rocks "the peoples elbow"
I have warlord at rep 1 I think it's time to unlock him
my friend and i have noticed weird animations going on with executions like with cumbered bash and how the sword clips through the helmet, or wardens hilt strike (ive seen it "hit" an arms length away). i really wish ubi would fix these as they worked on launch, but every update seems to make them worse
Attitude Adjuster is a reference to John Cena. Its one of his signature moves...well the flip part anyway, the stab part is all Warlord.
hey how about lawbro or hito next
Grappling and Wrestling are a massive part of Hema and what we know about Norse Combat especialy in 1v1 and against Armor sometimes taking someone to the ground with you is the best Option to kill him granted Warlords are a bit more on the Flashy side but cokehold wrangles tackels and limb control was more then known to these People
I think this video was awesome, as a big history guy when it comes to weapons and how they fight with them, our opinions on the executions is very similar i think the only thing i disagree on is coolness.
4:03
Huh, I was wrong about my guess there, but wrong in a good way. I was really expecting a 1 in the efficiency there.
Norse guillotine: he says "i give you to the wolves".
I don’t understand people saying the elbow slam is a pro wrestling move, you mean to tell me that nobody back then thought to jump in the air to use their weight for a elbow to the gut/chest? It cant be that modern of an idea.
I really enjoy these ratings by you because usually I agree with you 100%. Only thing here I would like to throw my two cents in would be "Targeted Strike". You consistently rank executions worse if someone basically drops his weapons to choke someone out or whatever which is completely valid criticism. But Targeted Strike does the same thing - you don't drop your sword but you give your shield to the dude you're trying to kill with your sword which is highly contraproductive. Many other characters had points taken from them because of similar things but Warlord got full points for that.
It seems like the execution implies that the Warlord did this move so often over the course of his battles that he knows exactly that every enemy will be confused if you throw your shield at them in the manner of "hold this for a minute" which is why he can use it as an execution. Here is my problem - not every enemy will be able to catch the shield, other enemies will catch the shield in a lower position so they don't have to expose their head to look up from behind the shield - which the Warlord counts on for this move to work.
Sometimes there may be someone who uses the shield for defence after catching it which is also possible and makes this execution less realistic and or effective in my opinion. Too many things have to align and if anyone of those things doesn't the enemy will not only survive but you will have no shield anymore.
My Top 4
1. Can't Punch This
2. Best Offense
3. Final Slumber
4. Shield Bash
14:37 its not about the practicality its about sending a messages
Law-Bringer executions would be cool for next grading.
My favorite Warlord executions are, 1, Attitude Adjuster, as it's affordable, quick, and cool, and 2, the "Viking Sword Fighting Microchasms" as I call them. Which consist of "Can't Punch This" and "Best Offense"
11:55 anyone notice how warden's hand turns around while stuck on the sword?
Yeah I noticed
Here comes Warlord with a wooden chair!
the vikings might have some of the worst fashion in the game but they make up for it with some of the best executions
Yeah, I figure all the wrestling omages probably didn't help him...though I expected him to get like an 80%. Still pretty close though.
To play warlord accurately you need to light and guardstance spam
13:32 "place your heresy!
13:31 was that Russian badger
It was
@@RavenKnightYT hell yea can’t wait for the next guy/gal
I think some of warlords executions are interesting some are wrestling moves and it is cool
Warlord strikes me like that Vietnam veteran who's been in one too many combat zones and is now just done with everyone and everything
Ngl. I want a conqueror video..mainly becuase I wanna see how many 8/16 you gonna give the conqueror for generic executions
In due time Raven will get there. I'm waiting for highlanders executions graded.
I feel like you're not considering the fact these are at the end of a fight, where the person being executed has been stabbed, slashed, and beat the whole time
I address that argument in my video with the rubric.
🗿👍🏿
I sincerely doubt that a human neck is as resilient as a bear's limb, Eurasian Brown Bears can weigh up to a thousand pounds, and wrestle eachother with all of that weight, and still not break a limb. Bear Traps break those same legs. I could actually see a bear trap fully decapitating a person. Bear trap injuries will often leave a person with a broken shin, a bone which is for the most part, far harder to break than the vertebrae
Yeah, Attitude Adjuster is definitely a reference to John Cena’s finisher. However, I refuse to call it as such. To this day, I STILL call it by its original name, The F-U.
Stuck like a pig: The idea of the execution is the fact that, in reality, when you stab someone with a sword or any kind of blade it's actually not easy to withdraw the sword from the body, and sometimes it can even be a very hard thing to do, look it up. You can't actually see that Warden is trying to keep the sword inside, if you look hard, you can even interpret Warden's arm movements as trying to get the sword out, it's just stuck there because the flesh inside the body creates a pressure against the blade making it hard to get it out.
Thank you for your condesending demand for me to 'look up' something I already am familiar with. Regardless of whether or not I do 'look it up' is irrelevant though for three reasons:
1.) My point as to why the sword was stuck was because of the fact that Warden appears to be using his hands to hold the sword. And because we've never seen this problem before with swords stuck in the body creating this kind of resistance, I assumed it was Warden doing the holding.
2.) Whether or not it's Warden or the blade stuck in the body doing the holding is inconsequential as it all goes back to my overall point: Warlord could have easily removed Warden quickly by hitting him off with the shield. There was no point swinging the Warden around when the answer is literally clutched in his free hand. This loses points for efficency, as he could have removed Warden quite quickly from his sword had he used an ounce of brain power.
3.) If the sword had not gotten stuck, leading to the continued animation, then all that would have happened in this execution would be a stab to the stomach, and Warden would have died from that alone. Thus the only really interesting aspect to this execution is that Warden got stuck, and thus Warlord had to use more (unneeded) effort to remove him.
Thank you for your comment.
@@RavenKnightYT As I see it, first Warlord sticks the blade in, pulls once but won't come off, his next move is swinging the blade and Warden behind him, expecting the blade to come off with the momentum of the swing, yet it doesn't come off again to the surprise of Warlord, just then he decides to kick Warden off his blade with his leg as leverage. To me it's a normal reaction and looks really natural. The executions is literally called Stuck like a Pig, because the blade is stuck, there's no reason for the Warden to be trying to keep the blade in.
@@liaknoek if you get shot by arrows or stabbed by swords or daggers you leave it in to not bleed to death in seconds. It's the reason why arrows even in movies and series always get broken off instead of pulled out instantly. Especially because many blades and arrows are designed in a way to make you bleed more on the way out than on the way in.
You should do an executions graded for Dead By Daylight moris
Might do that around October
@@RavenKnightYT oooo, an all hallows special.
Weird options but ok.
How so?
I thoroughly convinced that all the heroes in for honor are super humans of some kind, given that they have particular feats and strength that no average fighter could have possibly had during the time period.
I don't know if anyone wonders this, but i had a friend kneed to the face by a 4 year old... he ended up with a broken nose... so yeah that was fun
13:31 RELEASE YOUR HERESY sounds like @RussianBadger
It is. I thought it would fit
It did and it was funny
I petition you to remove the cool factor category.
Your petition is heard.
@@RavenKnightYT And......Rejected?
@@psychoseth1643 burnt, infact.
Asks in one moment, why it's called the attitude adjuster, says in the next moment, that warlord is heavely inspired by pro wrestling xD john cena has a finisher, that's called 'attitude adjustment' and he flips the opponent in a similar way
I am not familiar with all the moves or people in WWE. Sorry. I follow actual combat arts.
@@RavenKnightYT Sorry if this comment has upset you or something.. just wanted to point out, that the timing of these two things were funny, because it came one after the other. Didn't mean to disrespect
@@UltimateHikikomori No you didn't upset me. I apologize. Just...lots of critical and negative comments whenever I do these videos. I sometimes overreact. Sorry about that.
@@RavenKnightYT Well, i enjoyed the video. Made the character a bit more interesting for me, because i didn't know he had so many great ones. And his way of using his shield is really nice, which you pointed out too. So thank you
Take a shot everytime he says '63%'
...
(Plz don't)
"I've survived a hit in the face with blunt objects" but have you had that done while both a hand and whole leg are bleeding out like crazy?
Also warlord fuckin whipped that shield with all his strength
Admittedly no (although in one circumstance I was bleeding from the shoulder and crown of my head from earlier in the struggle). But a bleeding leg and bleeding hand alone combined with the hit does not necessarily ensure death.
@@RavenKnightYT oh yeah I'm sure, I just said that cause you always go "I've been hit in the face a couple of times and I haven't died"
the wrestling moves were funny to me at first, but there WAS a skandinavian fighting styl with mainl focos on grabbeling moves. To bring that in fot that havy dude was acctualy a smart thing to du and nut just for show.
Unfortunately warlord gameplay isn't my favorite and his early executions which were graded low for obvious reasons was another thing that kept me from the character it was interesting to see his newer executions get graded at 100 percent and those are my favorite ones he has and I would totally rock them if I liked his gameplay and moveset personally I play all the hybrids it's just something about them I always gravitate towards favorites being Highlander and Valkyrie
I believe you're being very inconsistent with Warlord's points, and very lenient also.
Why did warlord using a wooden shield get a higher grade for leathelty then gladiator with his all steel buckler which has the same mass as that viking shield, but less surface area? Doesn't seem fair if warlords shield punsh kills then gladiators should defenitly kill especily since glad used sow much more force with his punshes. Also for decaptations watch forged in fire. Pig heads and necks are much thicker then ours, yet they are chopping of heads with many weapons you say can't do that. I think you should defenitly rethink how you grade that cause sure it's often luck if a head comes of, but something like a viking sword can defenitly chop of heads even with one-handed swings.
What evidence do you have that the buckler has just as much mass as Warlords shield? Could I see that source?
As for decapitations, sure. I could watch forged in fire, or I could do actual historical research and find that decapitations are not easily done, and we have historical evidence to prove it. The problem with forged in fire is that they are specifically designing weapons with modern technology and techniques in mind. Not that historical swords can't decpitate (they can), or that they are of poor quality. I think Warlords sword can decapitate, but he is not doing it in a manner that would cause it so easily with a single one handed swing.
Is it theoretically possible? Yes. But is it easy? No.
And as for rethinking my grading? Nah, I'mma keep it the same.
@@RavenKnightYT Bucklers you can look up online yourself, viking shields will be harder to look up. Or if you ever held decent replica's of a buckler and viking shield you would also figuer out what I mean. For why there aren't many records of people chopping of heads that one is simple most people wore armor in war. Your not easly gone take a head off when the person is wearing gambeson, mail or plate to protect there troat. Also when excution by beheading failed the reason people botherd to record that is cause it was rather rare. What about the other excutions were heads were taken clean of as normal that people diden't bother to write down? In streetfights taking of heads was a lot more common, I even remeber I read a story about someon taking a head of with a rapier, this wasn't in a cleanstroke, but still. You said in your video you would treat every karakter like they aren't wearing armor, sow are the sources you are using to judge what would happen to the body reflecting that aswell? If yes then I'm going to assume you might have done more researche then me other wise... I'm not arguening any futher with you then this cause that wouldn't go anywhere.
No..a small steel buckler would be SO much lighter than a large viking shield like that, especially if the viking shield had a metal rim/coating, idk what kinda bucklers you've held, cuz they'd probably have to be like 3-4 inches thick
Bro I feel like I’m fucking insane, am I the only person who hates targeted strike as an execution? Like everything about it is just so poorly choreographed that not even the slapstick humor saves it. He lightly tosses the shield as though it’s a tissue in the wind yet the victim staggers back as though they were punched by a linebacker, then proceeds to conveniently let down the lifeline that was thrown to them for no reason despite having full control over the shield, and just stands there stupidly afterward. Almost as god awful as that one BP execution where he throws the shield through someone’s neck. By far WL’s worst exe IMO.
You’re not alone I’ve never really cared much for it myself but I could never really name why though I believe you’ve just explained why I dislike it
The main problem I have with the execution is that you give someone you mean to execute a shield for defence and completely trust in him being so confused that when he caught the shield he will look up from it. If he doesn't catch the shield it won't work. If he doesn't look up from the shield it won't work. If he uses the shield to defend himself it won't work. I like the execution but that is what makes it unrealistic for me.
