Judging anything by the audience is never a good look. :V
They think the axe-wall climbing part is bad level design and they're already hating on the prototype. I suppose I'll just try to ignore them as long as some of them actually donate to the game. Not all of them are bad, I know.
I've been reading the chat. It's not everybody doing this. If you seriously thought there wouldn't be people that hate on it I'm not sure what you were expecting.
Okay, okay, maybe I was focusing too much on the negative comments. I'm sorry guys.
I'd say it's a rapier, but there's a lot of different kinds of rapiers, and they actually have a long and interesting history... too long for a simple forum post.
Not a good assumption. Foil and Sabre are weapons used more for stabbing and slashing. Back in the old days, Foil and Sabre matches were bouts to the death whereas épée matches ended based on who drew blood first. In other words.... there are many open ended ways to get a touch in epee than there is in foil. No large blows or stabs required to win. As a matter of fact actions like that can sometimes be risky depending on the spacing between opponents since the target area is the entire body.
The thing that I actually wanted to know is can he use his particular weapon for slashing. Since from what I was able to google, first épées were basically light swords with wich you were able to slash, cut off limbs and do some really nasty stuff. And then, some years later those blades became these civilian épées they use for fencing and duels with stabbing moves and stuff. I would assume that he is more likely to have a newer fencing one rather then old military one. Considering he is an ambassador and not a soldier it looks like a fair assumption.
I am sure you don't think for a second that the full game is gonna be balanced anything like the prototype.
Aside from them discussing beta-changes of SFV for majority of time, they pretty much liked what they saw. Simmons complimented gameplay. Said that it was more intuitive then VP, he expected less. They complimented animations and dynamic lightning. Didn't manage getting out from the pit though, but that's okay I guess. Also switching targets is still a problem for streamers =/ ...Although I think he was doing it before bossfight? I guess it didn't occur to him to actually use it before chat told him to kill summons first.
Well As of now, she's basically the Sharla of the game.
