QUOTE(SubRosa @ Jun 7 2017, 01:44 AM) An interesting thing I noticed in the warehouse fight scene in Wonder Woman is that at one point she morte strikes with her sword. You can see it at 1:08. How does that work with her sword? It's supposed to be sharp enough to cut Superman, so wouldn't she do herself a serious injury? At any rate, it looks cool as HECK.

The sword she has in her eponymous movie is not the same one she uses in BvS. And I don't think it is the same one as from the comics. When you see the movie, you will see what I mean. Otherwise, I don't want to give away any spoilers. But in any case it would be the same as with a real sword I suppose. There is a way you can grip a double-edged blade with bare hands without cutting yourself. Skallgrim has a video showing how. Here it is

Here it isYeah I'm familiar with the Mordhau technique, and it's really cool to see it being used in WW. I still haven't seen the movie, but when I do I'll keep an eye out for sword stuff. I saw a cool video about the sword the other day, if I can find it again I'll drop it in here. EDIT: Ah, here we are.This post has been edited by hazmick: Jun 7 2017, 04:08 AM

Khajiit is reminded of Sophitia and Cassandra from the Soul Calibur series when he sees all of this. Also, Mira Cervantii!!

Sophitia was my favorite in Soul Calibur. And Lizardman. They both had the same sword and shield fighting style.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Dec 3 2017, 02:00 AM) Planning to get a Katana later though prolly not until next year. Good for collecting and home defense... Wakizashi might be better for the tighter confines of the home.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Dec 3 2017, 06:23 AM) Yes, I have thought of that. But it won't be a home defense weapon for realz (unless I'm desperate) but rather a collector's piece. Plus, I wanna be able to say I have a katana.... Maybe look into getting a set?

I have thought of that too, yes. But that would be more expensive, unless I get a set with less quality and I still want a sword that is "made for business" so to speak.
