Please do a Sword Masters React to Devil May Cry 5.
Do devil may cry
Hesitation is defeat.
I'm here early so I'll point out the reason Geralt's moves are so flowy and complicated and dance-like is because in the books, Witcher fighting styles(primarily the wolf school Geralt is from) are based off of dancing as they often fight hordes of monsters at once or very large creatures so their attacks have to be effective in as many directions as possible, as often as possible. So all the spins and twirls are basically so Geralt can hit multiple creatures or multiple parts of a creature at once. And a Witcher can pull it off because they're superhuman and can handle all the exertion of that type of fighting as well as having the speed and precision to make spinning a viable strategy in a fight.
So its like a dance mixed with a sword to maximize damage and evasion huh
@@gerardortega3559 basically
Plus as witchers are able to perceive more "frames per second" (?) it's a way for them to constantly keep track of as many opponents and their movements/stances as possible around them, while at the same time with constantly spinning, turning directions and rolling making it harder for an opponent to make out their next move.
Exactly! I should start reading the books again!
Waitin for them to notice you
He’s also a superhuman and a excellent swordsman so it makes sense for him to have some riduculos moves
"Wrong... pirouette... *sigh* Wrong, footwork!"
His fighting is kind of like dancing, they literally train how to pirouette.
Dude that’s what I was thinking! Their spin attacks are basically chaîné turns. They have great spotting everything haha
Eredin: Show me your spins, pirouettes, and feints... I want to watch
Geralt: Whoa there Roach
@@samuraiboy94 I guess the whirlwind is also some form of dance
Their portfolio pics are black and white... They check out!
They have a Japanese accent!! THEY'RE LEGIT!
No they didn’t say that they practice kendo or anything else like that. They just said they are “sword masters”
They Wasted
Insane how accurate they’re able to get with all the movements
Especially igni.
their video's sped up to sync with the gameplay
the movements themselves aren't too hard
@@SwordTune Yes, for a dude sitting in front of computer, everything looks easy. Record some of these movements then.
@@moroblizniak4457 To prove to who? I've already done it, so I'm speaking from experience. If you don't believe me, fine. But give it a shot. It's not hard if you're a little bit coordinated.
Would love to see these guys try to recreate some of the moves in Ghost of Tsushima!

Let's not forget that Geralt of Rivia had almost 90 or even 100 years of practice, so this is how he does his moves so well.
are you openly opposing the holocaust ?
I'm not sure if this is a joke or not...hahahahah
Geralt was born in 1174, so yeah something like that
@@marialaden4259 wut
@@marialaden4259 huh
One thing I noticed is that the Witchers fighting style focuses completely on pirouettes and spins because he has to constantly avoid monster attacks. I wonder if the power of his strikes comes from the spin itself or if the spinning is purely evasive and to keep him mobile. Very cool to see people trying out his style !
to answer your question, both the pirouette spinning is to allow you to see from all angles on who is attacking, and offensively would use all your body weight rotationally in their attacks.
In my experience in western martial arts, spinning doesn't add power (your feet planted will help you deliver a much stronger strike) but I have seen two types of single spins work for evasion. I've never seen historical evidence that this was used in combat, but in modern fighting where we don't tend to die or lose fingers, it can be perfected. (or as a witcher, practicing for 90 years) I'm going to say its for evasion!
@@hawkgaming3029 it's better to use planted feet than bodyweight. For example, modern troops kick doors down with a foot planted (except idiot militaries in countries with poor training). Think about it, a human can lift twice their bodyweight if they train for it, but if you throw your bodyweight it limits the impact to a moment and to the weight of the body. Spins have to be only for evasion and mobility, force of attack is definitely reduced.
@@KedricVarangia your doing the wrong kind of analysis here K M this isnt about what in the real world makes you stronger at fighting a human or is best in the real world.
We are talking about an alchemically enhanced human mutate with enhanced speed, strength, reflexes, and durability fighting things that are 2-5-10 x his strength, durability, size etc.
This was never about how its better for you to be able to use your mass effectively as a human, this is about essentially a strong man with the reflexes of a cat using a couple pounds of steel to rip through their enemies using the advantages these mutations give.
Or are you trying to tell us that while your fighting 3 12+ foot werewolves the smart thing to do is plant your feet because martial arts not meant for Witchers told you that your attacks will be more powerful when a witcher probably benches 4-500 lbs+ easily anyway?
@@KedricVarangia its both, they have the reflexes to parry and counter in multiple directions while pirouetting.
The point is to continue pirouetting together so that there is no opening for their backs to be open while fighting multiple enemies, as their always fighting against multiple enemies simultaneously.
Played 500 hours, did not realize geralt was spinning all the time
Spinning gains tons of momentum. But you could obv get stabbed in the back while doing this😂 it’s best to use this while your opponent is hit/staggered. Playing this game with sword knowledge makes this game EVEN MORE ENJOYABLE!! I get so satisfied whenever I see geralts attacks.
What were you doing in those 500 hours

@@joaquimliengme4989 you are a higher life form and a man of culture 🤝
Hey! I have created and performed the witchers fighting moves in The Witcher game series. As Andrzej Sapkowski (author and creator of The Witcher universe) described in the books, pirouettes were the witchers fighting style significant elements. That's why they are so commonly used in the game choreography. Whenever you analyse video game moves you have to keep in mind that the final animation is not only the actors performance, but also game designers and animators vision, serving a visual purpose or covering some gameplay mechanics.
You guys did a great job breaking it down. I'm honoured and hope you enjoyed it! :)
good ballerina
but the celt say DUNMAGLASS
The man, The Legend Himself!
The Whirl skill was always the one that seemed hardest to imitate
Harder said than done. Just takes some practice. Sword's Path already made a video on how to do it.
czcams.com/video/JOXdORyTqVY/video.html
This skill is so powerful in the game that it can easily defeat monsters and guards of a much higher level than you.
It's really caught me off guard that Witcher has had such a resurgence lately lmao
People want to remember CDPR at their best
It's the Netflix series success that has most likely done it. That and or the Witcher 3 being also by cyberpunk 2077 developers.
2077
I'm fine with it.
For me It's the greatest game of all Time.
@@JBrambleBerry exactly lol. People are using the witcher as a pallet cleanser.
7:55 It's a shame they're not firebenders :/

Imagine if they used the small flamethrower thing...
Yeah they really need to work on that IGNI skill. Maybe they were just using AARD at the time, lol.
Shame on you for cutting out Igni. We all know that they practice magic every day.
The thing about Geralt's fighting style is that, lorewise, if the sword stops moving in the Witcher's hand, the fight is either in a point where he can rest or is just straight up done.
Omg it's the Taishi, the guilty samurai! I had no idea he's still working as an actor in the US. Good to see him doing well.
Terrace house!!
The Witcher 3 X Terrace House was honestly a crossover I'd never thought I'd see 😆
Ghost of Tsushima with these guys please!
Nah they should do sekiro since it is better
@@vivekdeyalsingh3550 Why not both
It's already UP!
5:16 ok it's getting serious here. Guys full respect. Your look and moves are insane. Im so impressed!
Sword Experts react to Devil May Cry next PLEASE
Yes pls
YES PLEASE!!!!!!!
TRICK!
I want to see air combos.
RIP 2 their limbs if they try for an A
Next please: Snowboard professionals recreating moves from SSX Tricky. :'D
I like that idea
thats suicide
@@mouse2542 Could be... :D
I’ve done the sack tap from thps2 on my skateboard!
The whirl clip really shows generally what the witcher swordmanship was about, the twirls and flairs are not just for shows, but for multiple opponents, so even when outnumbered a wicher could move gracefully and almost effortlessly between oponents and constantly keep adversaries off balance. This is why all witchers had to learn and incorporate dance into their swordplay.
One can argue the effectiveness in real life. But remember that wichers were superhuman, and had better endurance, reflexes and was cabable of keeping track of everything on the battlefield in a much higher degree than a regular human.
Also, you can see that in almost all spins and/or flairs he swings the blade close to his back between each strike, so there is rarely an opening at his back, and he also uses spins to constantly keep a track of every potential danger at the battlefield
Agreed, I just said something similar, then found your post. You summarized it really well. Another fact to add is that witchers weren't specialized in fighting humans on battlefields but monsters. Partially giant creatures with enormous limbs, weird shapes, unusual body parts and lots of strength, but without human fighting techniques. Witcher techniques may or may not be practical sword vs sword, but they didn't need to be to get their contracts done. If Witchers were real, I'm sure they would have adjusted their style suitable to the opponent and would have different methods for monsters and humans/humanoids. It would only make sense, given the fact that they weren't a bunch of cutthroats, but a centuries old, well established guild with elite school type training and would know that a Zeugl and a human swordsman can't be approached the same way.
It would just go too far to have Geralt fight in 30 different styles ingame (although it would be great!).
It must be said that seeing these moves in real life looks absolutely incredible it looks far better and far more practical graceful and effective then i ever would have expected i could totally see the next samurai/ninja film using this technique in sword fighting to add an incredible grace and wow faktor for the audience to enjoy
Mothers at home who always say "Don't run with scissors in your hand!" would be astonished at these two gents dodge rolling with swords lol
I just spat cola out of my nose

Beautiful, just a great video. Thanks as always guys and gals!❤
This is the best thing I've ever seen! Thank you for such a great job done
I enjoyed the video so much, thanks for making it!! :)
This is the first time for me "Real life" looks better than the "game moves" itself. Like, man his movements looks so smooth.
For the spinning, doesn't make sense in real combat but I think in the Witcher, Geralt said when a witcher is fighting it's like a dance. I can't remember the exact quote but I'm pretty sure it was stated somewhere in one of the games
This was also mentioned in the books, as Geralt mentioned the reason why he was taught to fight like this was because a Witcher most of the time wouldn't be fighting one-on-one, he or she in the case of what was said about the Cat School would be fighting multiple opponents whether it'd be humans or monsters.
Agreed, you never face 1 oponent only, so spinning during a hit gives him 360° view for the next move
Depends on the situation. If you're defending a lady from multiple attackers you need to be mobile and conserve momentum: czcams.com/video/vxHaNRO705k/video.html
What a couple of amazing individuals. Also, what great channel!
Love the vid!
These guys are both amazing! They did a great job here! I love it!
Fantastic work! Loved them bringing the witcher moves to life!
lol, they did the dodge even.
That is putting in the extra work!
I liked the video guys!
There is too much acceleration on real filming of movements, it turns out that we really didn’t see it. Everywhere editing, so that "it would look like shots from the game *. But it would be interesting how much slower it would look in reality. (I only noticed a normal rotation frame at the end of the video)
It’s like the meaning of the video is not in real movements, but in an editing contest, so that reality is like a game o_o
And the moves look cool
"Escaped Prisoners react to A Way Out" next !!!!
Oh yes.
Get the guy that disguised himself as a new to the area jogger
At the end of the video , police come and handcuff them " come on back to your cell".
Incredible. Thank you guys!
So nice !!!! Good work guys !
they were both sick and i bet this was fun to record! they did a great job recreating Geralds moves
Honestly this youtube channel is going to blow up, please do more of everything lol
i watch your vids frequently. but this real life swordsman makes me sub. their epic.
Nicely done!
8:26 "Igni in battle"
*uses Quen*
That was awesome the way he dive and roll and the stance, the movements that was all spot on men you guys are really great at this!
This looked a lot cooler than I expected
🎵Toss a coin to your Japanese sword experts...🎵
It's amazing seeing this I loved it
That's really cool! 👍🏻
This is a very nice and fun video👍 I have subscribed.
this has to be one of my favorite episodes
It would be interesting to see moves from the Infinity Blade series.
Good lord this was an amazing episode
Foot work is amazing!
_No air were harmed in the making of this video_
You guys are just amazing..
Very technical breakdown. High quality video.
These guys did an excellent job!!
So cool!
the only moves that were missed, were specific moves that Geralt only does when he's in active combat. like closing the distance with an enemy with a leaping pirouette slash, and combat roll and then skewer/stab. but other than that these guys are amazing at breaking down every single one of geralt's movements
5.18 so much respect thanks to had do this and thanks to show that it can be applicable in battle
The most underrated channel in all of CZcams.
Toru`s movements are spot on! Born to be a witcher :P
Can we get a sniper’s reaction to “Sniper Ghost Warrior 3”?

What do you expect them to say about bloodborne it’s small people cutting up big ass monsters
These guys are amazing 👏👏🤙
These dudes are 100% real life anime characters you can tell by the perfect hair
It is totally awesome! Please make a video with a show fight (two persons) only using these witcher skills. This would look hilarous!!!
This is cool,more of them doing this
I see that Taishi, the guilty samurai has been training hard👀🥋🙇🏻♂️
ありがとうございます！！
awesome video
Please have the japanese sword guys react to the afro samurai game from 2009
the dev team must has hired very professional Japanese Sword Experts to shot the references for animators
They both did really well and they also weren't that familiar to the moves.They were but the movement was tough. and they did it so beautifully
Awesome I could never do all of this
What I really like about this video is the artistic approach they have taken. They see the beauty in Geralt's moves whether other "sword artists" just rant how impractical and ineffective witcher's style is. Happy to see there are ones who appreciate what CD Project did. :)
They don't know that the spinning and stuff is for fighting multiple monsters at once
OMG ! It's Taishi from Terrace House : Aloha State on Netflix !
i love your videos 💟
I went to comment that I wished they'd included whirl and rend for then to look at until I realized this video was a lot longer than I thought. Good job Gamology.
Thanks for this, really cool. It's not easy to replicate game animations since the motion capture data is tweaked and timed to "feel" better in the game. The "Short Dodge" as it's called (where Geralt jumps back a short distance) is best used when your opponent is already attacking, that way they can't hope to exploit your vulnerability, not unless they're really, really fast.
The right side looks like real life Anime fights. It was awesome!
you guys are masters!!!!
This is really cool.
3:33 I like how he goes back to the normal stance
considering how i built my geralt over the game, by the time i realized how to unlock this perk, i was pissed that i had to work extra hard to get more points to unlock it, but it was worth it
Maaaan that looks cool in real life!!!
Excellent. As a witcher fan, lots of thanks. 💙💙
These guys did a really good job
回転剣舞も再現できるのすごすぎる
When fighting monsters you need every bit of strength behind your attacks, hence the spins
This is dope

Came to see the Whirl breakdown and these guys nailed it. Excellent work guys
It would be lovely to see a female master to recreate Ciri's moves as well
As others have said before me, witcher figthing style look a lot like dancing. They have to be agile to counter lightning fast attacks from monsters, and all the spins and whirls are also to distract and confuse the enemy. Flawless execution, congrats to these guys! Wonder how they could recreate these moves with a full armor on, though :))
Damn, they nailed it!
This was cool.
They were able to reproduce our Polish Witcher's fighting style. They are just fantastic.
Watching this is making me want to hop back on Witcher 3 and start a whole new story again. Such a beautiful game.
