>bringing a sword to a gunfight
Who does this?
Mods are fag
so uncivilized hahaha
>>134994319
Shut up I'm still trying to get over it.
>>134994302
That's a lightsaber
>>134995254
And what makes a lightsaber not a sword?
>>134995361
Because it burns, not cut.
>>134994302
people who react faster than bullets.
>>134994302
gary stu trap does.
>>134995397
Are you.....are you really that autistic?
Cut
verb
1. To make an opening, incision, or wound in (something) with a sharp-edged tool or object.
"he cut his big toe on a sharp stone"
synonyms: gash, slash, lacerate, sever, slit, pierce, penetrate, wound, injure;
2. To remove (something) from something larger by using a sharp implement.
"I cut his photograph out of the paper"
synonyms: trim, snip, clip, crop, barber, shear, shave;
A lightsaber still "cuts" so your retarded opinion is invalid.
>>134995474
An axe can cut but it's not a sword. Lightsaber is a weapon, but it's closer to a flamethrower.
>>134995488
except for the whole not throwing anything, let alone fire.
>>134995488
I'm just pointing out that a lightsaber is indeed capable of cutting, that one retarded anon claimed that it couldn't "cut" anything, it's like they didn't know what the definition of cut was.
I'm not defending that a lightsaber is a sword but it can "cut" something
>>134995557
>>134995568
You're both completely wrong. This has already been discussed and lightsaber is not a sword nor can it cut.
>>134995557
Makes more sense than a sharp metal object you call sword.
>>134995474
>A concentrated torchlight is a sword!
>>134995596
Well I wasn't here when it was "discussed" so I'm going to stick with my own opinion and say that you and all the people who decided that a lightsaber can't "cut" have high functioning autism, a lightsaber meets the definition of the word "cut"
It is capable of CUTTING, hell even scissors can CUT something. I'm not saying that the fucking lightsaber is a sword but I refuse to believe that you and a team of retards agreed that a plasma weapon can not CUT something.....
Jesus was this discussed at the annual sci fi autism convention, anyway I'm done with this pointless argument. A lightsaber can CUT and if you are too retarded to see that then I have literally no pity for you, god I get so fucking upset when I read such moronic comments on the internet.
He transferred from another MMO and all his skills were specced to sword shit.
>>134995751
You are still wrong. The lightsaber is literally a torchlight. Realistically, the beam shouldn't even stop at any point whatsoever to look like a sword, more like a constant stream of light that dies out after a certain time.
>>134995674
>Hey everyone I have the reading comprehension skills of a potato
If you had read my comment you would clearly see that I was not trying to prove that a lightsaber is a sword, I was only trying to point out that is indeed capable of CUTTING, it meets the requirements for the definition of CUTTING something. I never once said that I viewed it as a sword, fucking dumbass.
Is everyone in this thread a legit imbecile with zero reading comprehension skills? Am I speaking Greek to some of you? How many times must I repeat myself?
I DO NOT THINK A LIGHTSABER IS A SWORD BUT I DO THINK IT CAN CUT....
I can't make it any clearer than that people, any sharp object can CUT something, it doesn't have to be a sword though a sword is one instrument that is capable of CUTTING something.
Scissors can cut something, any sharp object can cut something, a fucking concentrated plasma beam can CUT something. Jesus Christ I feel like I'm talking to brick walls that somehow came to life and have the mental capacity of dirt.
>>134995751
Nope, burn=/=cut. A lightsaber can melt your flesh into particles, a sharp object does not.
>>134995801
But lightsaber can cut, like high pressure water can cut diamond.
>>134995474
>>134995849
>Use 100 words to prove someone is autistic
>>134995849
It doesn't cut. No matter what you say lightsabers don't cut. Like how I disprove your claim on it being a sword, the same will happen to you now on cutting.

>>134995879
It's not technically cutting, that's just intense erosion.
>>134995801
>Realistically
See there is your problem, you and everyone else agreed that REALISTICALLY a lightsaber can't cut anything but in the world of Star Wars it is indeed capable of cutting, the fact that you are applying logic and realism to a sci-fi movie just shows that you are autistic.
>>134995882
>I can't form a basic argument or rebuttal so I'm just going to assume this guy is autistic
Good job you clearly have me beat
>>134994302
Jedi.
>>134995924
Your whole argument about the lightsaber is debunked as well. Irony at it's fullest ladies and gentlemen.

Good old Mad Jack, In a war involving the Nazis he was still the craziest motherfucker on the battlefield.

How about you cut yourself?
>>134994302
Well, if you ran out of bullets, your gun would just be a paperweight,
>>134995924
You really are autistic though. Other dude makes more sense without typing out a whole script.
>>134994302
>using odd weapons/abilities that seem absolutely ludicrous and thus need equally ludicrous strategy and tactics to employ without great risk
Literally me
>>134995893
That guy was pretty hardcore. John Malcom Thorpe Fleming Churchill, nicknamed "Mad Jack". He fought in WW2 with a sword and a longbow. He charged a bunker with his sword and took 42 prisoners. The Germans described him as a demon.
>>134995887
A lightsaber is capable of removing limbs as we saw when Obi-Won severed Luke's limbs so that meets the second definition of "Cut"
>2. To remove (something) from something larger by using a sharp implement.
I also once again never said that I saw a lightsaber as being a sword, I never once defended that point. I literally have no idea why you think I was so adamant about defending the idea of a lightsaber being a sword because I wasn't.
>>134995952
You never mentioned that you were viewing a lightsaber from a realistic perspective, I wasn't. I was looking at it from the perspective of the movie where it's shown as being able to sever and cut things, obviously I would agree in real light that the idea of a lightsaber is nonsense.
But then again like I stated already I think people who apply realism and logic to sci-fi and fantasy movies are autistic, well congrats I guess you win if it really makes you feel like you won something then I'll give you the win.
Congrats you won an autistic debate over a trivial and autistic subject, I'm sure that's the highlight of your weekend.
>>134996002
>hurr durr
do you have an argument to make?
>>134996063

>>134994302
Someone who is gifted with the force.
>>134996036
>Other dude makes more sense without typing out a whole script.
Thanks you are just reiterating my point about how you and that other anon lack even the most basic argumentative skills and can't even form the simplest rebuttal.
This is basically what you are stating
>Ugh damn man why you talk so much? I don't like people who try to lay out their thoughts in a clear and precise manner, it hurts my head and makes me think.
That's literally what you are saying, I'm sorry big words and long paragraphs annoy you anon, I'm sure colleg..oh what am I even saying you probably didn't go to college I'm sure it was too challenging for you with all the papers and words lol
Forgive me I'm sure life is hard for you
>>134996100
you sure showed me.
>>134994319
He should have shot his faggot son first.
>>134996173
Mostly it's because you sound so mad, and the criteria of typing out a lot is connected perfectly. Your arguments are just emotional.
Wow that's literally a lightsaber, what show is this? And what style is she using? Soresen or whatever the fuck was that style called?
>>134996175
Of course, water and plasma don't burn so they can cut.
>>134996114
This animation, it's on par with OPM. Nice.
Technically there's only two types of impact: pierce and bash.
Cutting is just a surface being pierced by a line instead of a dot.
>>134996218
Be that as it may it still shows that you lack basic argumentative skills, I see a good argument more as "passion" rather than "anger"
To you I seem upset but a lot of people who make arguments tend to defend them fervently, trust me I've seen people defend the most retarded arguments through hell and back.
> plasma don't burn
That's it I'm done, good night everyone I've had about all the autism I can take for one night. I really wouldn't want to be any of you, you lack the education and argumentative skills of a 10 year old and I'm sure some 10 year olds out there could understand some things better than you.
>>134994302
Well there are two kinds of people in this world my friend
>>134996309
See, you're emotional.
>>134996350
See, you're retarded. What is your point?
You still lack basic argumentative skills which is pretty sad, it doesn't matter if I'm "emotional" or "mad"
I know you don't care that you can't make basic arguments and rebuttals but it's a useful skill to have in life and it's kind of sad that "big words" and "long paragraphs" bother you.
I feel sorry for you if you ever have to write papers for some reason, try writing 20 pages worth of research on a complex subject. I bet you'd cry and end up in the hospital because of a panic attack.

But Kirito isn't using a Katana anon :^) It's a glorified lightsaber and we have spent the last hour debating on whether it can "cut" or not and now we are discussing whether or not plasma burns.
Come join the mindless autistic hellhole that is this thread :^)
I can't believe people are this retarded, kek.
>>134996497
Literally this, if you don't think plasma burns than you are super autistic.
>>134996497
>>134996544
If it burns then it doesn't cut. Checkmate.
>>134996246

>>134996542
>So mad he posts memes
Yet you posted "Nothing personal, kid" sonic meme and that's old as dirt.
Way to be a hypocrite, anon, Oh and also do you know what the word "hypocrite" means? I know that's a big fancy word that you've probably never used before, I'll gladly give you the definition but be careful.
I don't want you to have an aneurysm trying to comprehend such a complex word.
>>134996591
It's not satire though, so therefore it's not a meme. It's spelled correctly too.
Fact of the matter is, you're taking it too personally.
God what a life I live, this is what my life has come to, arguing with grade A autistic morons how realistic the principles and concepts presented in a sci-fi movie are.
I guess I'm just as autistic as they are since I'm having this heated debate with them over the most nonsensical and trivial shit.
>>134995474
>>134995849
It seems like you're the autistic one here, family.
>>134996640

>>134994302
in anime it's actually pretty common. Infact you could say that it's bad practice to bring a gun to a swordfight because I think you've actually got better odds of winning if you're the sword wielder.
>>134995596
It both cuts and simultaneously cauterises, I believe.
>>134994302
Why is it impossible to cut with a lightsaber?
>>134994302
Did they get sewed for this, did they pay royalties, or do the people who currently own the Star Wars trademark not give a fuck?
>>134995929
This
>>134997547
Because it seems to me, more like a fiery club. I mean, like, seriously, try cut a sandwich with that thing.
Hey guys, what's going on in this thread?

in original ep 4 it cuts without cauterizing, the severed part bleeds, so if you're calling it a lightsaber it cuts.

>>135018092
Nah, that's /b/'s job. But hell, this is /a/, not /lexicography/, so why the hell are we arguing in vain over the meaning of "cut" and "burn"? Since it happens in a vidya game anyway, technically neither happens. It's just electrons being rearranged.
>>135018329
The cut vs burn discussion is not a lexicography problem, though.
>>134997296
What game?
>>134997576
The only thing copyrighted/trademarked about lightsabers is the name "lightsaber". A sword made of light/fire is too generic to obtain protections, and the sound effect falls into the same category as explosions - you can copyright a specific recording of it, but you can't copyright the sound itself, so everyone's free to make their own.
>>135018329
This reminds me: in the VR, you can consume as much popcorn as you want and never be full. Superior movie watching enviroment, also because it filters out outside noises and smells.
So, who else SAO > Star Wars? I enjoyed the former, but the latter was fucking terrible imho. Haven't watched the new one yet.

I'm serious, the whole saga is so bland and plain I can't understand how anyone who was not a kid in the 70's or 80's can worship it like a religion. SAO was also bland, but at least was enjoyable for me, except the Fairy part.
>>135020527
4 is a bit cheesy and 6 has some really subpar moments but 5 is a genuinely good film.
Not that I would expect a fan of SAO to appreciate a good film.

>>134994302
I mean, if I spent 2 years trapped in another vaguely similiar VR MMO using nothing but swords that entire time and got really good with it you wouldn't say no to a decent parallel where you can transfer that skillset as opposed to learning something completely new where everyone is more experienced than you are.
Got to stay in that comfort zone.
So this is why no one even mentions SAO on /a/
it always devolves into autism
>>135010558

Meh, Japan was running out of supplies, besides they had no allies and everybody hated them at that point, it was a matter of time. The US just wanted to end fast the war, that's it.
>>135022201
Not only that, the Soviet Union had declared war on them a few days earlier, so the US wanted to prevent the commies from invading Japan, in order to keep the whole country under their own influence.
Wiping out two cities like that is a despicable act, I'm not justifying it, but at least the country was not split into a North Japan and South Japan, similarly to what happened to Germany.
>>134994302
Think about it like this. If you can move quickly enough, with a degree of control, to outpace a bullet, why wouldn't you? Watching the Wanted movie where they move the gun faster than the bullet to "twist" it's trajectory I always wondered why they didn't just throw shit at people.
The only problem with this would be air resistance for thrown objects, but most of these fights don't take place over a significant distance (over 500 meters).
>>135022367
Moral justifications are a moot point and only serve to help your PR efforts. War in its essence is already an immoral act.
The fire bombings already wiped out entire cities to a much greater effect than any of the nuclear bombs did. They just didn't have the big mushroom cloud that had everyone shit their pants.
>>135022476
Because trying to deflect bullets with a sword is a really inefficient and taxing method of defense. You're pouring out energy and focusing solely to defend against the shooter in front of you.
As opposed to bringing an impenetrable shield in which you can place down and not have to do any fancy movements. You're allowed to keep track of your surroundings as well since you aren't focused on doing fancy movements to block the 500+ RPMs heading your way.
A lightsaber blade is a meter-long column of pure energy approximately 2-3 centimeters in diameter. The blade is completely straight and rigid and does not taper, and the tip is slightly rounded. It produces no heat. The blade appears to be bright white, with a colored glare surrounding the white core. When activated, a lightsaber produces a high-energy hum from the discharge of it's power cell. While lightsabers consume enormous amounts of energy, a power cell can last for an extremely long time without recharging, as lightsabers are very efficient in their operation until energy is used to cut through something.
The blade is produced by a hilt, approximately 24 to 30 centimeters in length, which contains a high-energy power cell and one to three Adegan crystals, or synthetic variants. These crystals focus the energy produced by the power cell and shape it into a positively charged column. A single crystal can produce a fixed length blade, while a saber with multiple crystals can have its amplitude and length adjusted by repositioning the crystals, usually by twisting the handle or a control on it.
A lightsaber blade is capable of cutting through almost anything, but it may encounter resistance, and some materials will be harder to cut than others. The blade can absorb or deflect blaster bolts with ease, and will not pass through another lightsaber. Thus, for all intents and purposes, when activated, lightsaber blades can be observed as having the properties of a solid blade.
One unique property of a lightsaber blade is the fact that it cuts through materials with almost impossibly small cuts. Microscopic cuts are almost always the case. Also, most organic materials are instantly sealed and cauterized by a lightsaber blade, resulting in nearly bloodless cuts in most instances.
God damn you guys are trying hard to out autism each other.
