Post swordfus.
Polearm fags need not apply.
Gilgamesh from FF5s Excalibur and just about any other weapon he uses. Man has a lot of weaponfus.
Who /blade of awe/ here
>>342794036
Don't know if this sword has a name but loved its design. Sad that no other games use the mechanic of letting you hold it up to the sun to guide your path.

>>342796693
This is ridiculous, it's more of a sculpture with a handle than a sword and not even in the most fantastical setting could this pass as an actual weapon.
Anyways this is mine, kinda edgy but I like it because it looks realistic while at the same time being a fantasy weapon. Silverlight is also a strong contender because of nostalgia.

Skyward Sword kinda sucked,but,goddamn,if it didn't have the most beautiful Master Sword ever.
try to post a better sword than this andit'll eat your fucking soul
>>342797568
Is that the gilded sword?
do any vidyas have the khopesh in them? i love the aesthetic
Alastor or bust.
>>342798669
The Carthus Shotel is fairly similar to that. Not exact, but close enough.
>>342794036
How can other swords compete?
>>342799302
they're basically the same thing... the khopesh is just the precursor to the shotel. so, good enough for me, anon!

I'm here to tell you that you've got good taste
Looked pretty cool, was planning to use it in my next Das3 run.
It is bullshit that this thing was pretty much useless and there was zero reason to ever use it.
I guess if I had to pick one, it'd be the Caladbolg.
>>342796693
This is like a sword equivalent of the bed of nails, it's not going to pierce/sever anything.
I like any Longsword that has a hilt that can fit two hands. Some call them "bastard swords" but that is a misnomer.

also, kudos to Salvatore for making it so that every time Drizzt blocks an impossible sword swing, it's with Twinkle... since we only find out later that it's a scimitar of defending.
>>342801736
>>342802232
>scimitar
sure
The mechanic they added to this is perfect
>>342802343
Well, yeah, those swords aren't scimitars. But the swords that they're supposedly based off of are scimitars. Both Icingdeath and Twinkle were written as scimitars.

Vagrant Story has a bunch of different weapons, all modeled quite nicely in my opinion, including an actual khopesh. The game itself isn't for everyone, but it's great for people to make different weapons for their looks.
Prefer SC2 version

Oh baby. There was one part of the game where enemies flooded through a corridor and I just rushed them and killed them all with the sword, using the health drain to make up for the damage they were dealing.
>>342806437
>>342800718
Literally my favorite weapon in the game... nothing else comes close to my baby.
The defensive, jittery strikes of the blade are very well animated and synonymous with its description.
>>342803686
that thing is not actually a sword its a god damn katar even if they call it a sword

Dragon sword buddies?
>>342794036
Amber weapons are cool.
Back when I played Runescape I always appreciated the Fremennik blade's simple design.
But it is fucking shit, because it has the offensive stats of an adamant scimitar (making it shit at stabs, which doesn't make sense for such a design) and the speed of a longsword type weapon. The worst of both worlds between a scimitar and a longsword, in one terribly shit weapon.

Love the Bastard Sword in Dragon's Dogma. It's pretty much the only sword, besides the basic iron sword your character tries to fight the dragon with, that has a nice blade shape, while also being fairly grounded in its design. Compared to the other weapons you see in the game, at least.

That was ShinRa steel, and it's a sword so massive, heavy and unwieldy that only Sephiroth and then Kadaj could wield it properly
It clashed with the buster sword and the fusion sword with no problem, this dual bladed one actually did trap the fusion sword and flipped Cloud upside down

>>342823558
Yeah, like Sam's sword if you removed everything fun about it.
>>342813516
It's still good because of the moveset, scaling, and bonus hollow damage.
I mean it's a fucking sword, you can't go wrong with it in PVP either.
Mahakaman Rune Sihill was sexy as fuck in the first Witcher game.
>>342823756

>>342823889
HF katana with a silly trigger on the grip essentially.

>>342824713
the amount of people who don't give a shit is pretty high too, I think there might be a connection
>>342823983
Im not even sure its a hf blade honestly. I think the trigger its just to summon the dragon or some shit.
>>342824781
The dragons are most likely mystical, given that he can control Hanzo's.
Seems impossible to go up against robots and highly armoured targets without a HF blade.
Not saying he couldn't but it seems like a very likely conclusion.
also watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er1EiYEBRFc
>>342824898
My headcanon is that the dragons are made up of the same stuff symmetra uses, as well as zenyattas orbs. I like "magic but not really" stuff in my videogames.
>>342794036
>swordfu is claimed in the op
what is this fresh hell?
>>342825143
Zenyatta just fires off his orbs with some kind of force projector in his arms, they're real objects, they drop when he dies.
>>342823359
Fuck now i will have to install it again
>>342825301
Yeah, symmetras turrets are also real objects, just made up of hard light foam. I just thought that he probably just makes them in a similar way up as he shoots them because he can shit them out constantly. Im probably just overthinking game mechanics though, very little in that game makes actual sense

>>342824781
>>342824898
>>342825143
Maybe it's the green shit on the sword that makes it so powerful. And it's charged by Genji's energy he builds up during battle. The dragon is just an aesthetic thing. Don't know what I can say about Hanzo though.
>>342794036

>>342826852
For you
>>342824929
>>342825550
Good point.
That would make a lot of sense for Zen and would explain how he reloads.
Genji's shown to control Hanzo's dragons along with his own and Hanzo's dragon is shown to originate from his tattoo in the short.
The green part of the blade probably only controls the huge AOE that he gets when he ults.
>>342826626
>not posting superior version
Long, thin blades are my jam.
>>342826224
>>342822810
That's Ostrava. The gold Runic gear he uses deals very little physical damage and has very low durability for the benefit of providing extra defense against magic and dealing magic damage. The armor looks great, yeah, it's the best set in any Souls game to date. The regular Knight set starts off with that armor and a regular metal sword and shield.
maybe not my favorite, but it's still pretty sweet
aside from this, the Great Lord Greatsword from DaS, and the Brachy GS from Monster Hunter are pretty top as well

Aztecs losing didn't have anything to do with their weapons fampai
The aztecs drove the spainish out of their captial easily, they only got fucked cause the spainish then retreated to a nation the aztecs were hated by, rested their for a few months while the aztecs were then dying of smallpox and famine, and stormed the captial again 9 months later with a massive army of 200,000 natives from that nation, at which point the aztecs were basically already defeated due to all that diseases and famine I mentioned.
There's no questioning the spainish had a large advantage in terms of their armor and weapons but they didn't have the numbers or supplies to win on their own when the aztecs had a large organized army and cities larger then what Europe had.
Also, obsidian is actually sharper then steel is by many times over. to the point where it can actually cut between tissue cells, it's just nowhere near as durable and will shatter after a few uses since it's essentially glass, pic related
>>342813476
I don't play MMOs
>>342827543
whoops wrong image
also, obviously, when I said the spainish didn't have a chance alone without help due to their numbers or supplies, I obviously mean since they were on a foreign continent with only about 3000 men. No shit if Spain wasn't so far away and they had an army of their own the aztecs wouldn't have a chance
>>342822584
desu this IS the best sword
>>342827683
hint: obsidian is super fucking brittle
it's why aztecs made their """""""""swords""""""""" out of wood with embedded shards instead of a full obsidian blade
they'd get destroyed by a knight with a longsword
even a samurai could defeat one 6-7/10
>>342828081
Most ludicrously sharp things are brittle.
That's why they stay sharp, they don't bend or deform.
>>342827683
