What is the most chuunibyou/edgelordy character you have ever played, or seen played?
The thing that gets me here is the implication that a scrawny cunt like that could effectively use a sword, and he goes so far as to insult people who do go to the gym.
>>47837008
Well, the sword is really about skill more than brute force, unless the opponent is wearing any kind of armor, but the then the sword is blah blah already discussed.
But in real-world terms, "I'mma punch you in the face, real hard, 'cause I'm strong, or just pin you" is a more practical course of action than "ooooh, you're just lucky I don't have my sword with me!"
>>47837008
In fairness, you don't need to be particularly strong to wield a katana effectively. It's not a zweihander
>>47836856
Probably back in my Gaia Online days. It'd be hard to pick just one, honestly, but I do recall one being "an orphan practically before he was born".
>>47837233
you need to be significantly stronger than the pictured individual, however.
He looks like he has no explosive energy or endurance. Also no stabilizer muscle work. He won't be able to swing fast, accurately, or hard.
>>47836856
Probably the actual chuuni that I played once. She thought she was an immortal and long-lived witch, the greater part of her powers and memories having been lost when "true magic" faded from the world. All of which was bullshit of course; she was a perfectly average if delusional schoolgirl. The part that would make it really fun though was that it was a Magical Burst game. So, very quickly, she would've started developing powers and abilities which would feed her delusion and lead to her declaring that same "true magic" as returning to the world. All the while the other magical girls in the party weren't completely sure what was going on, and she'd feed them utter nonsense chuuni bullshit explanations for everything and act like she understood anything that went on perfectly.
Unfortunately in the end that game died before really getting very far off the ground, but such is life.
>>47837286
One shoulder check and he's down, ready to get his shit rekt.
>>47837341
really, there's no excuse to skip a leg day and arm day.
ESPECIALLY if you think you are going to be fighting with a weapon.
You at least need to work out all those fucking weird muscles that hold your body together so you don't have your back explode when you try to actually fight.
>>47837341
I wouldn't try to tackle or shoulder check him, he DOES have a sword.
Just fucking hit him with a table or chair, both of which are longer than his sword and both of which you can swing quite fast.
>>47837452
Fuck now I kind of wanna see a shitty weeb with a katana in the midst of a European bar brawl...
>>47837452
Just fucking shoot him.

anon, I'm an AMERICAN and I don't own a gun.
I know, I should, but I don't. I might one day, but for the sake of theoreticals, I choose the far more common chair/table/brick loadout.
or, if we are in the wild, sticks/large rocks.
>>47837498
How the hell do you concealed carry a table?
What happened to his feet? Either they're missing or those jeans are far too long for him.
>>47837511
I am honestly drawing a blank as to places I go in my life that don't have tables, chairs, garbage cans, folding chairs, and other wrestling paraphinalia.
>>47837498
I don't know, all the american's I have met own guns...you must be a canadian.
>>47837552
see, this is EXACTLY why I need to buy a gun at some point.
>>47837527
I spend a lot of time in parks and other lightly wooded areas, and there's nothing there I can think of there which would be suitable. Even the sticks are small.
>>47837187
Even then, that technique argument only really matters if it's a swordsmaster vs someone who literally never held a weapon in his life. If both parties have even some remote skill, height and strength become real factors. Perhaps not the end-all be-all, but significant factors nonetheless. You're not going to defeat a musclebeast wielding a halberd because your speed is superior. There's a reason why for as long as warfare has existed, the elite units in all militaries across the world are the biggest and strongest guys around. Frederick the Great had an almost homoerotic fascination with his tall, well dressed grenadiers and the minimum height of the Old Guard being 1.80m may have played a role in the myth that Napoleon was short (an average guy surrounded by giants looks like a short guy surrounded by normal people from a distance).
>>47837498
>anon, I'm an AMERICAN and I don't own a gun.
I'm pretty sure that's unconstitutional.
>>47837524
He wears clothes that are 2 sizes too big for him because he has no fashion sense.
>>47837480
It wouldn't be pretty. I can tell you from personal witness that in north England they don't stop punching even if the bones in their hands break.

>>47837733
>If both parties have even some remote skill, height and strength become real factors.
Not really. Reach gives an advantage, but not an insurmountable one unless you're pairing people with a height difference of multiple feet. Strength doesn't really factor into it if both fighters know what they're doing, because actual swordfighting doesn't really involve contests of strength. There's ways to try and force one if you're stronger than your opponent, but there's just as many ways to avoid it.
The two biggest factors after skill are speed and stamina. It doesn't matter if your opponent is a 6'6" 300 pound ogre of a man or a tiny 5'0" 80 pound girl; if they're significantly faster than you are, you're fucked.

My favorite in this is how the guy dismisses working out at the gym since he is too lazy to do it, instead thinking he can just swing sword few minutes a day to be "stronger".

I don't think he understand that some people go to the gym to actually be stronger instead of just looking stronger.
>>47838936

I once played a character who was a literal chuunibyou in a Call of Cthulhu Japan game. He lost his shit very quickly soon as he realized that this isn't a game anymore and the creatures of the mythos really don't give a fuck about his fake German sounding name and made up powers.
>>47839951

>>47839925
it's entirely possible to be thin but muscular depending on your build, the samurai you've pictured is also wearing clothing which makes it hard to tell how fit he is whereas the boy in OP's pic is clearly unfit

That takes a lot of discipline, the kind you usually only see in athletes in the modern age, but once in a while you meet someone who trained martial arts in the old ways for whatever reason compels people to hold onto dying ways.

One of the nice things about the US is that our genetic diversity (not racial, genetic, there's a difference) is WAY higher than most of Europe, because our ancestors came from wide varieties of backgrounds and interbred because the previous social stigmas/barriers were largely absent.
That means our average person looks better and has more "uniform" features, but why you'll also see dudes with Germanic features yet have Huguenot "Widows Peaks," and other oddball combinations that aren't all that common in Europe proper.
It also means you get some weird ancestry lines that may have absolutely nothing to do with your physical appearance (Such as having a last name of "Olstein" and having Spanish features while the majority of your genetic line is French).
That's not even throwing in random Black/Native bloodlines into the equation for the "black sheep" relatives who mixed with the "undesirables"and white women running away with Native men was actually a serious problem for the first few decades of Colonial settlement in N. America, and one that both Native rulers and colonial governors often worked together to stop for fear it would threaten their respective societies
>>47843647
There's also no reason to NOT own a gun if it's legal.

I think it happened when I was mod for a free form roleplay forum. The character's appearance was a Photoshop of Broly from Dragon Ball Z but with blue hair. The powers section took up 75% of the profile, most of these being instant death moves. The character history was basically that of a serial killer, describing all sorts of people this dude killed in (shitty) detail. Also, he was meant to be the ruler of a kingdom because "the populace feared him." I rejected the character, but the admin allowed the character in anyway and overwrote me because the player was his friend. I quit like a week later, though mostly out of other drama going on at the site.

There is more a need to own a gun than there is a fake sword that you convince yourself you can defend yourself with in the increasingly likely event of a home invasion.
I maintain now, as I always have, that the majority of fighting age males who dislike firearms do so because they are scared of them, intimidated by the people commonly associated with them (Those being chiefly military) and feel unmanly when compared and seen around those who are ex-military and are in to guns.
It is an area of life that they can not apply their faux-inteligencia attitute towards and simply must dive in and ask, experiment and learn from another. They are scared and made unmade by a loud bang, typically a large man with beard and war stories.
Given how big people are now at being independant, being strong and empowered one would enjoy a firearm at their side to prevent others from stepping on their way of life, what they believe and many other things. But no, they are only brave when they have 99 other people chanting the same slogan, alone they are nothing.

I played a handful of hilariously bad edgelords when I was in my early teens. Nothing special, just typical edgy stuff that you only think is cool when you're young, middleschool is the hardest thing ever, and mom and dad will never understand. All products of teenage angst. I've only ever played one edgy character seriously since.
Guy was from a nation that had conquered a primitive species' lands and enslaved most of its inhabitants. A resistance was building, so the PCs were called in as specialists to sort that all out. Everyone else was merciful and friendly with the natives. My guy was an absolute monster just looking for an excuse to kill any native, didn't matter if they were with the resistance or not. I never tortured, because that's usually awkward for a GM to act out and didn't really fit his style. He didn't like granting the savages more of his attention than they were worth. The way the GM made the natives react when my guy was in the area really made it. They'd run to their homes, get visibly nervous when he'd enter their stores, ect. It was pretty fun. Would only recommend doing it in an appropriate setting though.

No, it is amazing people are able to get away with calling it.
Autism then was a fairly serious behavior disorder, now it is a flat blanket term for people who don't want to do what they are told.
PTSD/shell shock was a combat response from the body overclocking itself on adrenaline and hard-wiring certain behaviors and expectations in to a mans body. Now it is a catch-all term for people who don't like how they are feeling.

There are certain beliefs that guarantee "people" don't deserve to be talked to like humans. Like being a gunless cuck.

You do realize that the kind of physical strength soldiers tend to develop doesn't tend to show, right?
I mean, soldiers have been getting a lot more buff because of the extra gear they're carrying, but a lot of that shit just doesn't really show.
You end up looking skinny as fuck, because you focus so much on endurance.
The soldiers you see that are actually big are either artillery or just gym rats.

Actually I'm pretty sure the napoleon being short thing was mostly due to anti french propoganada by the brititsh.
>>47848531
I wouldn't be surprised if some burgers couldn't tell the difference between Obama and Erdogan.
>>47848506
Well, he was raised in an enviroment resentful against the free market, sympathized with cop-killers and had far more exposure to a toxic ideaology that reduces humans to little more than moving parts. All these were funded by Communist in the late 70's with the intention of creating civic unrest in the only country the Soviet Union feared.
Why is it so hard to belive?
>>47848543
The French inch also slightly shorter than the British inch, so he's 5'2" in French, but 5'7" in English.

Nah, people feel that way about Obongo too.
I'm as right wing as they come but goddamn do I get annoyed with some of my fellow conservatives. A disappointing number of them legitimately think Barry is some kind of Muslim foreigner sleeper agent who finagled his way into office just so he could throw the doors wide open for Saladin's hordes.
It's the exact brand of moronic fearmongering the New Left is using to make people think Trump is some kind of Neo-Hitler.

Who will immediately start total warring each other because that's Europe's default historical state.
Seriously if the EU dissolves even as hard-nationalism surges in multiple countries Europe at the end of the 21 century could be a clusterfuck that makes the contemporary Middle East look pleasant by comparison

>Fencing
Fencing isn't even swordplay. It bears literally zero resemblance to the actual martial practice of fighting with swords, and we have fencing to thank for generations of idiots who think the epee is a sword and that the rapier was a lightweight, floppy blade.

This is what actual fencing looks like. It really doesn't take a whole lot of strength.
That said, staying fit is good for all sorts of reasons and couldn't possibly make you worse at fighting.

Someone explain this to me, one side has a man wearing the colors of the German Empire, the other has the side with the German state flag; Russia, the UK, Japan, France, and....Finland?

Watch the video. It's HEMA fencing, not sport fencing.

That's the Scottish saltire. Finland is a horizontal cross.

I just want to be left alone so I can do recreational target shooting in peace. I don't hurt anyone except various sheets of paper and clay pigeons.

Good, I believe we need that to shock the lazy, sad pathetic excuse for men we have representing us. You can be sure that they will be a lot less willing to throw away their own future when they have fought and killed to ensure it. To paraphrase an author, that which we obtain too easily, we esteem too lightly.
>>47848723
The one on the right is not Germany, it is the flag of Beligum a hilarious little country that somehow has become the heart of the European Union. And now one of the most expensive places to live because of it.
>>47848437
There is literally nothing anyone can say that doesn't just make me smile and quietly laugh to myself in superiority, knowing that it doesn't matter what people without guns think or say, I can still propel balls of metal at supersonic velocities in someone's direction at anytime and they can't.
>>47848780
>balls
>>47848793
>implying I don't carry several black powder guns at all times
>>47848723
The "German state flag" is actually Belgium (sideways).
And those are powers of WW1 (as the date 1914 might suggest)
>>47848773
I got confused with that one. Then again I've never seen the flag of Belgium to know what it looked like to begin with.
>>47848773
>The one on the right is not Germany, it is the flag of Beligum a hilarious little country that somehow has become the heart of the European Union. And now one of the most expensive places to live because of it.
Don't forget the beating heart of Islamic terrorism in Europe. Belgium also played a key if seeming innocuous role in kicking both world wars into higher gear.
>>47848819

It's not often flown, they are not a worthwhile nation.

anon, those men pictured are significantly stronger than the one I said you'd need to be significantly stronger than.
>>47837187
>>47837008
practicer of Taijijian here and I can emphatically say both off you retards have never used a sword, let alone held one.
Practicing the different forms and movements, which are much less acrobatic than what you would encounter in a fight requires a great deal of leg strength. Although I will admit upper body strength is more important in Taichiquan (boxing) than Taijijian (sword fighting)
>>47849047
anon, we weren't saying he doesn't need leg strength.
We were saying he needs ANY STRENGTH. AT ALL.
More than 0 days of working on strength.
>>47849028
Yes, but they don't need to be. There's nothing they do in that video that a 12 year old girl couldn't. Are you stronger than a 12 year old girl, anon?
>>47849115
>people who regularly practice physical activity and don't spend all day being lazy get a bit of musculature
>but they don't NEED it!
It's sort of an inevitable consequence of not being a pasty and lazy nerd who considers inner strength a replacement for practice.
>>47849115
Did you even watch the video?
Grapples and strikes were common.
>>47836856
I too am a Super Best Friends fan.
>>47848674
It may not take as much strength as, say, boxing, but it still takes more strength than the kid in the OP pic has.
That video also illustrates a nice example of another use for strength in a sword fight. When it comes to the close plays and you need to start working in disarms and wrestling moves, you need strength. Body mechanics will only get you so far.
>>47849157
There's serious fatasses at every HEMA tournament. Some of them are even pretty good.
>>47849178
The point of those techniques is that they don't require strength. It's all about using leverage to negate differences in strength.
>>47849277
>The guys who have a lot of mass to throw around are pretty good!
>those grapples and strikes totally don't require strength you guys!
>>47849306
There's girls at HEMA tournaments who are really good as well. How do you explain that?
>>47849277
Almost every one of the techniques shown involves parrying, which involves significant twisting and control of the arms, at the very least.
Let alone the grounding required.
>>47849341
Because girls are capable of having more than 0 days spent working on strength?
It's not a very high bar we are setting here. You need at least -SOME- physical practice. More than none.
>>47837340
Sounds like a fun character concept.
>>47848674
Modern Sport fencing is nothing like actual historical sword fighting.
>>47848780
>I can still propel balls of metal at supersonic velocities in someone's direction at anytime and they can't.
Because that's a useful every-day skill. No wait, it isn't unless you are a hunter or live in some third world country or backwater shithole where you have to worry about killing shit before it kills you daily.
>>47849430
>some third world country or backwater shithole where you have to worry about killing shit before it kills you daily.
So, America.
>>47849452
Point taken.
>>47849430
It actually kind of is.
Especially if you get the appropriate certifications and experience to back it up.
The job openings are both easy and well paid, and require minimal schooling.
>>47849346
The weight of the sword is more than enough force to parry an attack with proper technique. If you can lift it, you can use it.
>>47849358
The fact that women can match or exceed men shows that strength isn't of absolute importance
>>47849421
>Didn't watch the video
>Didn't even read the other comments about it
>>47839632
No, they prefer soldiers.
>>47849475
>Actual practice or training isn't important to swordfighting!
And here is where you've fallen into the idiot zone.
Not everything can be solved through theatre of the mind and meditation, captain buddha.
>>47849475
You do realize that every one of those techniques shown requires speed, which requires explosive strength, correct?
You are aware that's a type of strength that you need to use musculature for, right?
