Realistically a giant sword is impractical, the reason it’s practical with Guts is because he swings it as fast as a regular short sword, which means we hit the gym boys

Closest thing to that sword would be the Italian spadone or the German zweihander, large 6-7 ft long swords that are about 6lbs. They way they are used is as crowd control where the swordsman swings the sword around them in large circular motions. A lot of idiots think “I’ll just keep my distance until the swordsman gets tired of swinging his sword around”. Well if you keep your distance the swordsman with the zweihander isn’t going to waste his energy swinging his sword around.

Interesting vid there. Also watched the medieval armor one.
But questions: can you move from that vertical slash in the short to an horizontal one, either in quick succession or midway through? And for how long you can keep this up? Bc it obviously takes its toll after a few slashes, and you're built.

It looks cool and it deserves to exist and be practiced because of it. Nothing else matters.
Fair enough.
We often forget that majority of melee based weapons weren't swords but actually spears. Turns out stabbing a foe with a long extended reach knife is better than having a long knife, plus you could still use the spear as a tool version of a knife
@@DigitallyTwistedOutlaws1178 Keep it up. It's amazing to see what you can do with that thing!
@@Crunchymunchys Absolutely. Spears are the king of medieval weaponry. When you mean using it as a tool you mean detaching the spearhead to use as a regular ass knife? I thought those things were pretty secure in place.
Yea the problem comes when you start swinging it and can't change direction mid swing, you are quite literally overextending on every strike with that sword leaving you vulnerable... Kinda like in the UFC if a fighter overextends a punch, his chin is exposed for a fraction of a second longer than if he didn't over extend BUT that fraction of a second is still what gets the guy clipped. We can also talk about how you are limited with that weapon and almost every move and swing is telegraphed by your whole body lol
It is really cool and I would love to practice with one but yea pretty unpractical
A legendary weapon of this size requires a unique fighting style of its own, not to mention it's big enough to double as a shield as well.

@@shootaman2 Don't need to move faster homey. Just need that heavier weapon and the reach. ;)
@@shootaman2 Defenders don't need to move as much as the attackers do, specially if they can easily move away while putting the sword in the way between them.
@@AscendantStoic I get what your getting at but I really don't think its that's simple. You are basically totally relying on your blows to hit. I cant help but feel if the person you were fighting just focused on baiting you then punishing you after a miss they could just make you look foolish. In full plate i could see this sword working just fine but against someone dressed light with a light weapon they could just dance around you since they aren't carrying a stupid amount of extra weight and there weapons are likely decently balanced and super easy to use.
@@billfred9411 Assume both warriors have armor, breastplate at least, also you are still thinking in terms of regular combat, this is not the case here, using the weapon as a shield you can charge at someone with the sword as cover and knock them off balance by battering them then use that opening to finish them off with one blow, my point still is that with this weapon you will have to fight very differently from a traditional sword.

The Cold Steel Zweihander is fairly cheap but still solid. Or was when I ordered it years.
If you can weld man, check out PrettyHateMachining and MichaelCthulhu! They started small, you could build yourself up over time too and make giant swords.
Greatswords were used historically by mercenaries, alongside halberds and spears. Essentially they are the same as a spear, but the shaft is nearly indestructible. If you're a mercenary, you don't have the same resources as a fully supplied military, so you invest in more durable equipment, and without uniform requirements, you can also have everything custom made to your personal preference. That's the context of how these weapons were invented, and they were popular for several hundreds of years. Spears are the true king of the battlefield, but only because steel is valuable and wood is cheap.
they also had reach this doesn't have. 1 lad with a spear and it's all over

i love that sword, looks awesome.
For the people who are skeptical, its the same principle as a step-back jab in boxing. Instead of your fist, its just a massive hunk of steel.
The only intelligent fighter with experience has spoken. Good to meet you.
Not quite. I think I understand your thought process, but it's flawed. A retreating jab allows for an immediate follow-up, usually a right cross after planting, whereas it would be difficult to quickly follow up a strike with this blade.
Except you're entirely wrong for a multitude of reasons.
1. My jab isn't like dropping a 45 lb plate directly downward into the ground.
2. It does not take a large amount of strength and effort to bring my jab back to guard my chin
3. A direct downward swing like this with a weapon this size cannot be instantly and effectively followed up with a successive series of attacks without greatly telegraphing i them via the complete transferal of bodyweight to control and move it.
If you wanted show off a sword equivalent of a jab, why not use a technique that literally uses the same principle like a thrust?
Probably cause moving a huge amount of weight away from your center of gravity makes it harder to control, and it doesn't attack the stationary bucket sitting on the ground at his feet.
@@abarainosa I never said its exactly like a step-back jab. I said it uses the same principles. You step back and let the gigantic hunk of metal lean forward, then as it leans you slam downwards in an axe-chop. Obviously theres massive differences in fighting with a 75lbs+ slab of iron compared to literally every sort of weapon.
Think about it like this, how the hell did people learn to use 11ft long glaives and 16ft long pikes? Theres obviously a massive learning curve and physical prerequisites you need to meet before even attempting to wield such weapons because of how unruly each of them are in their own respects.
We’re also not talking about just a regular sword, we’re talking hypotheticals about a massive hunk of raw iron and potential ways to use it in battle. Modern humans don’t train all their lives in blade combat anymore and so all we can do is speculate how to use it if someone were even able to use it.
@@jancarlosnatano885 Except that is still not what a step back jab is for. A jab in most uses is to judge distance and set up follow ups. It is a useful tool because it is low energy and low committal and it easily retrieved. Hence why I used the example of a thrust. Unless you are outrageously strong, there is only one direction that sword is going in once it begins moving down That is farther down, unless you use all of your body to stop its momentum and redirect it.
In fact if you watch correctly. He's not swinging it down. He's stepping out of the way, letting it fall and pushing it down once it's past a certain point. He's not stepping back to create distance. He's stepping back because he's letting the weight crash down. He is moving around the weapon, instead of making it move around him.
To your point about glaives and pikes, both had long shafts to grab them so you could better distribute the weight. Furthermore, a large sword like this with a much longer handle would probably be more useful and resemble that of the Zanbato from Rurouni Kenshin.
“Have I ever before wielded a sword so heavy?” -Guts.
It has more openings than other weapons but its sheer power makes up of it.

That would be wild! Lol
As a huge Berserk fanboy this video really gives me the tingles.
I don’t know if he did it on purpose or if it’s legitimately just the natural or most effective pose to hit when doing that slash downward. But bro just did the pose from the first dragon slayer kill in the first chapter of berserk against that bucket. That’s pretty awesome.
Not planned... but I am going with natural! The Colossus Form I have developed is similar in parts of the movements to what Kentaro Miura drew Guts doing in Berserk. It's the only way to really wield giant swords, by using full body movements.
Imagine being some medieval soldier, you've grown good at sword combat and trust your skill, and then Sir Largickus Swordington decides to make you half the man you once were
This made me laugh so hard
IAh yes, the age old Dark Souls debate. Dex vs Stregth. Never gets old.
This makes me so happy.
That was entertaining! Check out this ballistic skull being destroyed:

The problem with big heavy weapons is that every move you make is choreographed. I can see how you're going to swing, if you can, and make moves to get around it. It can be intimidating but even someone who can swing it well will still have to wind up for most things.
And on that day, every member of the Buckethead Army fled before the might of the giant sword.

"That thing was far too big to be called a sword far to rough, far too heavy, far too thick, indeed it was heap of raw iron"

“That’s not the case”
You’ve never been charged with a weapon sir-
Yes I have. ;)
@@DigitallyTwistedOutlaws1178doesn't look so by your words.
@@FirstLast-wk3kc How so?
Because it shakes your confidence so bad that you have to comment twice?
That someone taking on a herculean task isn't intimidated by other weapons?
That he has been around weapons all his life?
You people spend too much time on the internet talking trash.
Go outside, socialize.
@@DigitallyTwistedOutlaws1178 i am outside right now. Just waiting for my friend to come out. Killing last minutes before he does
@DigitallyTwistedOutlaws1178 which is different from what you are doing rn, how exactly?
Bro is the type of guy to scream his Nemesis name really loud and kill demons and have a microscopic elf
Guts!!
GRIFFIIIIIIIITH!!!!!!
The best way to use a giant sword or any weapon with some weight with it. Is to make use of its weight, momentum, and gravity.
The bucket you hit was already broken ,dude....
Rolls eyes.

“If one hit don’t kill you , you’ll wish it did “
That sword won't do much on armour, on people wearing no metal armour any sword could kill them in one cut. The difference is most swords with two sides can stab good.
@@green8017it is literally just a massive sharpened club, it’s more likely to completely pulverise a limb than it is to cut it off.
Either way, you’re not surviving a hit from that.
It can cut, as long as it was sharpened well but yeah it would hurt. @@Peter_Turbo4
If I've learned something of swordfighting against heavy weapons, I just need to bait your first hit for me to get a window for attack, but, but, butt, you need balls of steel to do that against that beast.
I think that works for most smaller weapons...but, but, butt (girl butts 18+ of course) you have to keep in mind that the giant swordsman knows that and won't commit, and if he does it will be a swing that won't be easy to dodge.
Guts: (SADS IN "GUTS' THEME")
Bro made every combat warriors players day
Scariest part is Guts swings that thing like someone would a small blade 😂
Yeah, i's cool af, I love Guts and Berserk, but it's fantasy, not real life. This guy is trying to say you can do the same Guts does but in real life.
@@Soreign_Eddie Hall literally exists.
@@Peter_Turbo4 Seriously? Don't be silly. There's a humongous difference between being able to lift heavy weight off the ground and being able to swing it aroung like a sword and actually be able to fight with it.
@@Soreign_uhh yeah you can just can’t be a weak mf there’s another video of a dude doing the same shit guts does n he’s jacked this guy looks scrawny & guts is pretty ripped so this dude is a bad example of trying to prove something
@@Soreign_True there is a difference in being able to swing it around compared to actually using it in a real duel or multi crowd fight.
The thing is though....just being able to swing it around and move is proof enough that the possibility is there to actually practically fight with a giant sword.
1 on 1s you stick to horizontal swings and spin with it to let the momentum carry most of the weight for you, the only main problem is being able to change the direction of the swing without losing too much speed or having to stop the swings momentum completely to change direction.
I would say the practicality is there and it's possible, but to be able to practically use it you would have to train for years and condition your body to use a giant sword to even come near to how the character Guts uses it from the anime Berserk.
somebody could just do a faint and yould be stuck mid swing and they just stab you mid recovery and that thing will drain your stamina real quick eventually youll be too tired to swing back unless youve got guts levels of stamina but it really is very intimidating still
Alright, just for that I'm adding an extra foot to the blade. Checkmate.
@@DigitallyTwistedOutlaws1178 ye that could work hahaha literal propper footing
