What game did melee combat the best?
Bushido Blade
Souls series would also be an answer if not for too much reliance on rolling around
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
Mount and Blade: Warband
Jedi Knights

This and Mount 'n' Blade. Both are easily the best (multiplayer) melee games of all time.
Mount and Blade: Warband
Dwarf Fortress
UnReal World
Hybrid Heaven
if we're talking fisticuffs and MMA
Bayonetta :^)
Chivalry.
Sure, the meta game can get weird like reverse overheads. Despite giving people too much control leading to moves like reverse overheads, I still think it is best by far. It still requires skill and practice to pull off.

the fuck am i looking at

My man.
M&B is pretty much the universally recognized king of medieval combat.
You'd need like three threads and an actual battle royale to determine the best melee combat period.

this looks like shit

Certain weapon start their hit tracer behind them when you do an overhead. Players start using it to hit people behind them. People cry about it being unrealistic, unfair, etc. I personally don't find a problem with it.

If they're crying about realism in that thing then getting hit with a virtual poleaxe is the least of their problems.

Wait until you see a "pro" sword battle which is all about doing 360degree swings and ducking
God hand had a pretty fun combat system I liked the dodge in place mechanic a lot.

that's fucking retarded
I can't look at any of the combat in Chivalry and think that it's good in any way. Fun perhaps but not good.

I have to agree, drab beings had the best melee combat iv ever seen.

>no fun allowed.
Good doesn't always equal fun. What's good and fun? Even M&B animations are retarded, but is still by far the minimum standard for the genre right now.

Oh boy. Now you've done it.
No one on /v/ appreciates Chivalry. Any mention of dragging, reverses or anything outside of looking straight at your opponent, no feinting and no dragging while you swing will instantly get you laughed at for playing an "exploit and bug filled" game.

Saying the game is shit is fine. You're entitled to your own opinion.
Saying the core game mechanics are bugs and exploits is a different story.
