smash bros has too many sword characters, it's about time we rank em
i don't think this has been done before but it's time baby
#tcnick3 #smashbrosultimate #smashultimate
I like how excited he was about the monado being a lightsaber but didn't mention pyra's aegis sword being a *flamethrower*
I know right-
And how he put a fking Blue Sword made out of a few froggin pixels higher...
Didn't mention the laser effects on Mythra's sword either.
@@GumshoeClassic well to be fair that one is kinda just the sword but it has an outline
@@omelett3281 It gets a crossguard made of light, which gives it a completely different silhouette, and the blade extends much further.
The most hilarious part about Corrin’s Yato is that in all it’s other forms, it’s pretty basic, with sometimes some color slapped onto it, but the moment it becomes the Omega version, it goes full berserk mode and I love it
The sound effects when the Omega Yato hits an enemy is just so dopamine inducing!
And it is the Fire Emblem, that's cool af
Don’t forget the constant fire aura it has
It becomes a chainsaw. 😎
Should have put all the Minecraft swords in d tier except diamond. That one still doesn’t belong in a tier though
I love how Corrin gets a sick chainsaw sword only to use for like, two moves.
I just looked at all the hitboxes for corrins moves and it's literally only charging forward smash lol
Edit: Im referring to the chainsaw part which im pretty sure is what OP was talking about
@TheMemesterXD up-air and forward air and forward tilt and down tilt?..
Unless you specifically mean the chainsaw part... then yeah that kinda blows that it's not used outside of that. As someone who enjoys FE and Corrin, absolutely wasted on Corrin.
Up Air, Nari, Fair, Front Tilt, Down Tilt, Up Tilt, Jab, Dash attack, Front Smash charge.
@@LuigiGreenFire As the reply above you said: The *chainsaw* part, not the part where they even use the sword to begin with.
Coherent with the game, where it's only usable in the final level of the third route.
I love how much Nick is squeezing out of Smash Ultimate. The game itself has been pretty much completely explored, both competitively, as well as in the modding and casual communities. Nick goes above and beyond to find the little things that most people wouldn't even think about. Even though you are wrong in your opinions (/s), this was a fun video!
You’re right and that’s why he’s a good content creator
Honestly there's a huge aspect of the Smash fandom that goes unexplored and that is the fanfiction aspect of it
Doesn't matter if Roy's sword only looks A tier, it gives you +5 Defense and Res when you hold it.
The binding blade lore wise is the single strongest blade (maybe even weapon) in fire emblem history.
@@opbattleaxe8744isn't the Yato is literally the fire emblem
@@legendofsonic3979 the fire emblem itself is just a name label and not much else, it’s typically what’s holding or defeating the big bad. Binding shield was the fire emblem, the imperial seal, and lehran’s medallion I don’t recall any (aside from the shield) being particularly powerful unless you are counting the ability to seal away stuff probably won’t help much in a scrap (Yato would of course but (correct me if I’m wrong) I don’t think it grants much more lore wise other than being the apex weapon of the group)
Funny we mention apex weapon because the binding blade is kind of in a league of its own. It’s got a similar start like the fates weapons. The elibe super weapons were made to help humans combat dragons. These 8 weapons were so strong that the side effect of simply using them to fight f*cked with magic energy on a universal scale it broke the laws of physics causing the ending winter (seasons went crazy and climate was erratic) The magical devastation was so bad that dragons in that game were manaketes literally because we robbed so much magic from the universe in that fight they couldn’t maintain their dragon forms.
The binding blade is stated to be stronger than the legendary weapons of elibe *combined* luckily its power has weakened over time. Every time it swings imagine a Mini nuclear explosion because that’s literally what happens.
It also doesn’t matter how strong you are. Roy in his game was a joke, a literal kid with terrible stats that had to be carried. Once he got his hand on that sword everything changed. Lorewise if you played blazing the elibe super weapons are said to have a mind of their own (likely their former wielders) so promotion Roy was actually his sword on autopilot running off the skills of Hartmut (a legendary warrior) and he’s suddenly pretty much the best unit in the game.
For a weapon being stronger? Maybe Naga Tome? Loptous? Still Roy’s weapon is incredibly stacked.
@@legendofsonic3979the fire emblem is just the series namesake it’s not like the most powerful thing in the lore. It grants wishes in the archenea games sure, but the Falchion is probably equally important in the games its in. In binding blade the “fire emblem” is literally just a magical seal placed on one of the villains. The fire emblem in awakening doesn’t have the same properties as the one in fates.
@@opbattleaxe8744also the red gem in the sword IS the fire emblem, same thing Eliwood and co was trying to get in blazing blade, so at that point if you’re gonna compare the binding blade to omega yato, do you prefer flaming sword or chainsaw blade
Keyblade: "I would look so stupid holding this next to a bunch of people with actual swords"
Minecraft pixel swords: "I would look so badass holding these"
Yeah using 2d swords in a 3d world would look stupid.
Parallel Falchion #1 since Lucina calls it the Pointy Demon Spanker
but binding blade spanks demons at 2 range too.
REMEBAH, we not talking 'bout LORE
But it's too simple to be called the "legendary sword"
@@byronvonedmund It does, tho. The Sword of Seals is 1-2 range in Binding Blade. Heroes just missed the opportunity to give it distant counter. And Valentia only gave it 1 range because it can kill gods.
Monado at the top?
Ok this video is correct
Yes, He's correct, the monado being one of the best ones is a fact.
I don't really see it. The design is a bit too quirky in my opinion and without the light saber it's not really a sword (or is it sharp or sth?)
@@Mr.Dark154to me it looks too much like something that’d only ever exist in a video game to be really cool outside of cosplay.
@@Mr.Dark154 it's just a lightsaber with extra powers, the middle part extends and the blade comes out of it
False False
Watching this as someone who knows sword design, a lot of these are surprisingly functional.
And meta knights is based of the Japanese ritual sword Chiljido (or seven branched sword)
@@MaxWeb2599 Interesting.
Which aren’t functional all of them look ok to me
Most actually I forgot about the Minecraft swords and meta knights sword (ignoring the size)
lol Masamune being beeeeg
Follow-up idea: Add the swords for the rest of the Mii Swordfighter costumes to the list, 'cuz there's some really cool and really dumb ideas in there.
Totally agree, mostly because of the dumb ones.
We all know Aerith's Guard Stick, Arthur's Lance, Ashley's Wand, Goemon's Pipe, Lip's Flower, the Maid's Broom, the Monkey's Stick, Veronica's Staff, Vince's Brush, Viridi's Staff, and the Yiga Clan's Vicious Sickle, are all in C & D because they're not Swords.
There’s no way he’d do that
As much as I’d like to see it, Nick has too much bias against miis
He’d throw up on the third outfit
Ok, but we all know Doom Slayer’s Crucible gets S rank.
What do you mean Doom Slayer is a gunner?
A * * * *ing stick XD
Alastor in Dante's outfit
In a vacuum, Pyra's sword is a bit ridiculous, but the fact that they made the design reflect how Pyra gets all of her power from what is essentially Mythra's exhaust makes it unparalleled. One of the few things that shoots up multiple tiers with context
mythra fart sword
I can’t believe that a literal blade with massive fire coming out doesn’t even beat a couple of grey pixels.
“Sword made of swords” sums up the entire Terraria melee playthrough
Note: 99 percent chance Nick has not played any of the games these swords came from 💀
Edit: I forgot you have finished Xenoblade 1 🐒
AND BOTW AND WIND WAKER AND FE3H
i've finished a kirby game too so that counts lol
Kirby’s size is actually much taller due to Forgotten Land establishing Kirby’s height compared to human measurements.
I don't believe the 20cm/8in height alligations for one bit; Kirby has been around actual cars and Adeline, a human character!
Just by those two examples, I refuse to accept that he's small as descriptions claim him to be.
@@doremisomi i think that information originally came from smash which isn’t canon for any series.
Mario and Samus also make cameos in older Kirby games and they aren't humongous or anything. I know cameos aren't the best thing to go off of but combined with his size comparison to human measurements, it doesn't seem unreasonable for him to be taller.
@@Magic_Ice Smash Bros when it spreads misinformation 🤭
Kirby actually has two canon heights and changes between them when the context of the game he’s in calls for it. In forgotten land he’s the height of a small child give or take but in Dream Buffet Kirby is around 8-9 strawberries tall in the opening cutscene and strawberries are roughly an inch big meaning Kirby is 8-9 inches tall. Kirby is generally not 8-9 inches tall, but there are occasions where he is, and that’s weird.
Monado getting the respect it deserves
facts
It's not even *just* a lightsaber, it also folds open in the coolest way ever and the beam part is gigantic.
If the Monado is so great, then why is there no Monado two?
Wait, there's how many?
The purple lightning dreamsmasher (Zeke's sword) is the best Xenoblade sword, change my mind
@@wutmagna7222 MONADO 3
Maybe D can stand for Daggers, the baby version of a sword
Or dull knives
D stands for dick, the floppy sword
Another cool thing about the sword of the creator is that it seemingly gets set on fire during certain instances.
A whip sword made from the bones of a dragon that sets on fire
It’s magic not fire in the original game but the effect is sick either way
It's a fucking spine. The whip segments are VERTEBRAE
Spoilers
Not just a dragon but also technically a goddess
It just glows red, however if you’re not Byleth it’s super heavy and you can’t use it.
That’s easily number one for me and I don’t even have byleth or the game she/he’s from
Way cooler than stupid shulk monado (I’m a little salty)
“This sword will make you look dumb unless you’re seven.” -guy who put multiple Minecraft swords in s tier
Mythra's sword also splits into a lightsaber when actually used.
The Falchion sword is a bit cooler knowing it's the fang of a dragon fastened to a hilt but that's getting further into lore territory
I love Shulk’s sword tbh. Sleek, simple yet eye catching
Honestly, can't believe master sword lost against diamond sword
I’m not gonna disrespect the diamond sword it certainly has its own energy it’s just not cool.
Honestly a diamond sword fully upgraded is really useful all things considered.
- Near unbreakable with Unbreaking and Mending
- Can catch enemies on fire with Fire Aspect
- deal more damage and a spread out slash with Sharpness and Sweeping Edge
and for more optional enchantments
- increased damage to specific mobs: (Smite and Bane of arthropods)
- increased specific rare items (Looting)
- increased Knockback, which for Smash bros would be REALLY op (Knockback)
Maybe it's why it's higher but the master sword should've been higher, not much higher but still
"i don't like how kirby's sword is so curvy"
MY BROTHER IN CHRIST, THAT'S SUPOSSED TO BE A BOOMERANG WITH A HANDLE
Kirby's final cutter (which isn't actually even a sword) placed higher than the keyblade lmao, I love that
keyblade also isn't actually even a sword so I'd say it's fair
I'm biased because I'm an Ike main, but Ragnell's dull gold blade and black hilt is just too cool a color combo. It's my favorite sword by far!
I liked its sound design better in Brawl when it was introduced. Each hit sounded like a goddamn explosion! Then Sm4sh changed it's sounds so it sounds like a...wet explosion. Eugh.
@@Nyahahamehait went from a solid slash to a more whishy/whoosy one
@@Nyahahameha Yeah, all of Brawl's hit sounds had such a nice crunch to them that the later games don't have.
@@BlackpapalinkBecause in exchange, the other games have higher quality
Hot take; Cloud's "Sword" looks more like a sharpened slab of metal than an actual usable blade. And the hilt just makes it look dinky.
Literally Berserk
Cloud’s swords are only cool because he can use them, realistically they’re extremely silly.
Dragonslayer
@@samkeiser9776a regular human would never be able to use it but when he wields it with one arm gives so much black air force energy
@@samkeiser9776 Yeah. Realistically if I were to hold it I'd probably get my arms detached like a lego character because of how goddamn big it is. Cloud can only hold it because he's literally a genetically enhanced member of the military who knows training and stuff because of his experience with being a soldier. I'm just a stupid and silly queer teenager who plays video games all day and talks way too much about books nobody has ever heard of
Editor has all the correct opinions. Incredibly based FE3H enjoyer.
It’s kinda bias if it’s the only fire emblem game you’ve played before……
i mean nick is also a huge three houses fan lol
As a fire emblem fan, unbased and cringe, 3h is the second worst FE game
@@saltyraltsWhile it probably has some of the worst gameplay of the series, it more than makes up for it with its plot. Imo it would be better if it were a unique IP.
@@ie2304 the idea of the story is good but the execution is godawful.
"Wrong but ok" editor Tam funniest editor
Cloud's sword will always be s tier for, and here's why! One time, when I was playing Smash, my dad took made a comment on Cloud's sword, calling it the 'surfboard knife'. HILARIOUS 😂
I had my mom guess Smash characters and when she saw Cloud she called him the "Guy With The Big Sword" 😂😂
I dunno if Kirby’s Final Cutter even counts as a sword - in the original games, the Cutter ability is primarily a ranged boomerang weapon, and the melee capabilities aren’t always present with the ability.
Should've been ultra sword
It’s also what happens when you get up close to a enemy and start attacking it will do the move
The Final Cutter sword is NOT EVEN CANON, it's completely made up for smash, WHY? Could they not just have used the regular ass Cutter blade? Why make up an entirely new unrelated weapon for a single move that already had a canonical weapon it came from?
@@Cri_Jackal false, it came from super star
@@randompersonroamingtheinternet In Super Star he just uses the Cutter blade to do it, _there is no sword,_ there never has been.
Would be cool to see you rank the abilities and powers of smash fighters in a vacuum, as in how cool they would be if slapped on to a superhero
Link is just Hawkeye change my mind…can handle a sword, EXTREMLY great with a bow, uses explosives and isn’t afraid to combine his bow with his bombs…Boomeranges cool too, but the grappling hook, last I checked Hawkeye had something similar with a grappling hook in endgame…
Shulk is just Vision if you gave him a sword that could manipulate reality and murder God.
@@elisevanbeethoven I’m more of a Pyra fan but “Mythragaming69” in conjunction with that pfp smug look is gold.
@@opbattleaxe8744 Glad you like it. I'm a huge fan of little miss simpleton, but Pyra is good too.
Ness and Lucas being able to talk to animals is pretty neat.
Mythra at full power can rewrite the laws of physics, a bit much for a hero.
Kirby being able to copy his enemies would be funny for a superhero.
Luigi having power over Fire and Lightning is pretty cool.
Joker basically is a super hero
Same with Samus
I didn’t realize how much more enjoyable editor makes these videos until 5:33 lmfao “it’s a sword” got me
Very cool video! Wish that you included the Pits since you had Kirby's cutter blade on the list. Their bows are basically double-wielding blades when they go melee with them and they have a lot more melee attacks with the blades(?) than Kirby does with the cutter blade. Then again, Joker's dagger or knife isn't on the list and it was a fun video either way
I thought he would include pits sword too, kinda saddening that he didn’t
it suck cuz they’re considered as just “bows” when they’re more accurately “bowblades”
the editor does not understand how cool things made of cubes are
While I can see the case for not taking lore and backstory into account when it comes to rating, I think specifically for the designs it should be looked at nonetheless.
The Master Sword is improved immensely by the iconography worked into it for example, and Pyra's sword having a flaming blade is a very neat way to alude to other things in the series, namely the similarities between Aegises and Monados as well as her fire ultimately just being the residual energy from Mythras light.
Essentially what I'm saying is, especially when it comes to symbols and the like, the background is what makes that design or detail cool, because it gives it meaning. The dragon insignia is cool because it resembles a dragon and dragons are cool. But if you don't know what a dragon is, that symbol can look like just a bunch of lines. The same applies to the Triforce.
Always nice to see the Monodo getting the love it deserves.
The reason why the Ragnell sword looks like that is because it's meant to be heavy, it also has a twin sword that looks the same except that one is silver. I thought it would go in A tier at least.
“It reminds me of the Middle East” “shows Egypt”
13:29 "are you compensating for something?"
-The guy that put the Buster Sword in SS tear, 2023.
LMAO
10:31 you know you have a good sword when he needs to apologize and debate about ONLY putting it in S tier 😂
I think Nick would be cool with all the pre-schoolers with his S-Rating of those minecraft swords😂
I agree that the diamond sword is tacky and goofy af, but A: it's funny and B: you can't deny that it's probably the most or second most iconic sword in all of gaming after the master sword, so I agree with nick's ranking of it
Buster Sword: **Cough**
@@dylandelahaie7800no way the buster is more iconic than the sword from the single most popular game of all time
@@mrmeatball1478The game is iconic, but the sword itself? I don't think it deserves to sit near the buster sword just because its game is popular.
@@DreadnaughtZero fair enough but still, the diamond sword is probably the most iconic thing in minecraft aside from the creeper
Nah the swords are goofy I agree with the editor. Based off the criteria it’s not a cool sword. It would not make you look cool. But it’s iconic for sure
I have to add that Kirbys Up B is not a Sword ability (except in Amazing Mirror, where he uses his usual sword for it) but a Cutter Ability (his boomerang hat). That is, why it has this curved form.
As someone who got into the Xenoblade series this year, I appreciate your rankings Nick on Shulk’s Monado and Pyra and Mythra’s Aegis Swords.
Also Sword of The Creator will always be awesome!
Hey Nick, great video!
Move the Diamond Sword out of S tier or I’ll quit
Wdym like he said with the key blade, how would I feel with a key blade instead of a sword but with the block diamond sword looks bad ass /j
You killed me with the 10 year old kids “wielding” the diamond sword 😂
@@starkiller4557 its badass lmao
Love how he forgot that Kirby’s sword is a real ass thing. An Egyptian sword lol
The xenoblade swords (all 3) and the buster sword are peak
12:08 I always though Mythra’s sword reminded me of the white ranger’s dagger thing from Power Rangers: Dino Thunder (the objectively best season)
How tf is pikmen swords💀💀💀
Sharp
Disjoint
Ouchie
Anything that you can swing counts as a sword
How tf “are pikmin swords
Ah yes the best sword in the game.
K A Z O O I E
Notable swords from other franchises:
Mario: In Mario RPG, Exor is a giant, living sword. It's not one that Mario necessarily wields, but it's a sword in a Mario game, at least.
Pit/Dark Pit: They're more _blades_ than _swords,_ but their bows are still notable.
Snake: He didn't wield it himself, but Raiden has the HF Blade/Murasama.
Pokemon Trainer: Depends on if you want to count other Pokemon.
Sonic: I'm not joking, and some of you may remember, but Sonic and the Black Knight was a thing. Also, Sonic Frontiers. Caliburn/Excalibur is a sword with a face that later loses it and gets a godly aura that's *also* a sword around it. Not a bad sword.
Villager: Can technically own the Master Sword, but it's already listed several times already, sooooooo
Mega Man: You can't *not* mention the Z-Saber. While you might say "Hey, that's Zero's sword!" and be technically right, it's worth noting that Mega Man X has wielded it as well, and he is essentially just an upgraded Mega Man.
Greninja: how did you miss him he literally uses water swords
Palutena: It's worth noting that Kid Icarus has other weapons that are very sword-like, but aren't as notable due to there being too many to consider.
Bayonetta: A similar case to Kid Icarus, where she definitely has some swords and sword-like weapons, but are moreso for quantity than quality.
Inkling: There's actually a weapon called the "Splatana", which is fairly self explanatory.
Simon/Richter: The Valmanway, wielded by Alucard, is a notable weapon, being the best out of many in their series.
Isabelle: More on Animal Crossing, there's actually a few sword furniture items available, and even one equippable for the player, being the sword in a scabbard. So it's surprisingly not off the table for Animal Crossing characters to be wielding a sword. Just hope that you don't find Isabelle with one.
Joker: "Lemme see what you have!" "A knife!" "NO!"
Banjo & Kazooie: The series was originally going to be "Dream: Land of Giants", featuring Edson, who wielded a sword.
Sora: There are several different keyblades available to Sora, though they all go along similar, *goofy* lines, plus occasionally being a little over the top.
Aside from a few other things like other equippable swords in other games (Zelda's Fierce Deity Sword, Minecraft's Netherite Sword plus enchantments, Fire Emblem and other franchises' different equippable swords), there isn't much else to say. Definitely some notable ones here that could've been mentioned, though.
_..seriously though, how did you miss greninja? he was literally designed for smash, and had swords/kunais in his design, and they're even counted as swords in smash's damage types, and yet you leave him out like he's just a wet shiek. you will regret this day, TCNick3._
"thats every sword ranked from sex to D tier"
not a line i was expecting to hear today but sure
This is a tier list I can’t find myself arguing with cause it’s just kinda perfect
HOW DO I KEEP FINDING YOU 😭(Also, TRUEEEE)
It's okay, the Kingdom Key is just the beginning weapon. Check out the other key blades!
Aggreed not cool but Iconic
And yes the Ultima weapon from Kh1 khDDD and Kh3 look cool af.
Might be too much but I love it.
Honestly he's right that you don't really cut things with the keyblade but anything it does cut like buildings and luxord in kh2 probably uses magic. After all the keyblade is basically just magical if you think about it.
@@Yeetable_childThat's the best part almost every time we see the keyblade cut something it dies.
I don't think he'd look at them cuz they're not in Smash
As a HUGE Kingsom Hearts fan, I’ve gotta say, I am COMPLETELY disappointed…that you’re exactly right about the keyblade 😭 there’s a reason in the games I switch as soon as I get a new keyblade 😂
I recently did a kh3 kingdom key only which honestly grew my appreciation and respect for the OG
@@Yeetable_childwho tf asked
How, though? The kingdom key is perfectly designed.
I'm a massive KH fan and I 100% agree. I love using the kingdom keyblade but yeah I also switch it up the moment I get a new keyblade. Also it looks extremely goofy compared to actual swords
@@Y_u_dum who asked for you to exist?
6:57: that is just the key to Disneyland don't lie to me
Levin sword beneath iron sword??? If a perk of monado is light saber, a perk of levin sword is lightning slinger 😭
but we're not counting the perks. The monado is just that good even without needing to talk about perks.
The editor represented all of us with your opinions on the Minecraft swords.
Mii sword fighter has a lot of swords to choose
Not to mention, the Minecraft swords would be massively lower tier if you factor in lore.
Pyra’s Aegis Sword looks like it would burn your arm if you tilted your hand too far
It doesn't matter whether it's a regular video or a tier list for something completely random, Nick's videos just never fail to be extremely entertaining
Nick talking about how Meta Knights sword is massive, then says that Kirby's Sword (FS Sword) is Massive show that this man must have played brawl. We even have video evidence.
Definitely agree with editor Tam here, judging by look and coolness, holding a bright blocky blue sword doesn't seem at all cool and all the other Minecraft ones are the exact same tier for me, which is D
Also, "I'm sorry for what I have to do to the Master Sword" *puts it in S*
1:46
"we're ignoring lore here. I know this is one of the most hype swords in all of gaming... BUT..."
no come on don't do me like this
"... it's for a reason"
ok good. Why did you phrase it like that? You gave me a mini heart attack for no reason
Very well, Nick. Fantastic sword tier list, agree with nearly every take. However, now it is time to rank all guns and blasters.
I will die on the hill that the only reason that Sword of the Creator got gatekept by Masamune was because it wasn't in its orange powered state.
love to see smash content from nick
especially smash content
that doesn't include
smash content
Note about Kirby's Ultra Sword:
Yes it's a massive sword, but it's massive compared to Kirby. And remember, Kirby characters are very small, so the Ultra Sword is actually quite small.
2:04 wha what? i- i- thought it was personality that counts
Toon Link's Master Sword is the same Master Sword as the one used by the Hero in Skyward Sword and the one in BotW. It's just drawn in a different art style
Mythra's sword not being activated robs it of half of its coolness. Look at it with the blade turned on and tell me that isn't epic.
Also, look at the Monado's second form. That thing SLAPS.
2:14 I am dying, bro things cutter is a sword, that's a boomerang blade
I will take that Master Sword rating, its not too flashy but still clean
You gotta think, those Minecraft swords have super thick blades. Make that out of diamonds and you can see why it’s an easy S tier. It’s got that chopping power like the Buster sword
"I would look stupid holding [the keyblade] as a soldier in an army."
>Puts a pixel sword in S tier
>Puts the goofy-ass-looking Monado ABOVE THE BUSTER SWORD
Monado being what Nick thinks about when he thinks sex was actually hilarious
Finally. A tier list I've actually been wanting to see.
The Key Blade is not a sword. That is an _axe!_ Similarly, Pyra's sword isn't really a sword either. It's a vaguely sword-shaped flamethrower.
I'd call it a wand or staff sooner then a sword or an axe. Think about it: it's a big blunt stick that you can cast magic from, that's obviously a wand or staff.
The keyblade is not an axe, how did you come to that conclusion? It's a sword that cuts what it wants to. It functions as a sword, you fight with it as a sword, the only thing that it doesn't have that a sword does is the physical appearance.
Yeah, Ragnell with the rounder tip is dumb, it's supposed to be a more angular diamond-shaped head which honestly works _so_ much better.
You should rate other Final Fantasy Swords, you will like them just as much
If you really think about how the Minecraft weaponry translates to real life, a sword with a serrated blade is pretty cool since it’s basically a chainsaw blade on a handle
I think the serrated aspect is just a limitation of the art style.
This is really what i needed in my life! Thank you Nick.
It's funny to me how the literal sharp wooden stick is still a better looking sword than the Bronze Sword
I love sword tier
Nick: Puts Minecraft Diamond Sword in S tier because it’s iconic.
Also Nick: Eh the Master Sword wouldn’t even be there if it wasn’t the most known sword in gaming.
0:03 pit & dark pit:
@powerguy3976 that counts more as two spears that connect to make a double-sided spear / bow (like darth maul's lightsaber in Star War)
Random Question: Do Pit and Dark Pit's Swords not count? Twinblades, but still swords... I also wonder (haven't seen the full vid yet) if Greninja's Kunai or Joker's Dagger get even remote mentions... if Megaman gets a mention, I think they should too...
Hey. You have forgot to mention Zelda's and Sheik's Sword.
@@spongefan6170 I thought Sheik just had a dagger she used for her new Final Smash, and I don't remember Zelda having a Sword in Smash (Ultimate. Technically the Twilight Princess Zelda has a Sword, though I forget if she actually had it or if it was just because of her Possessed Boss Fight). I gave moves that can be consistently used more time than the Final Smash limited tech, but I guess fair? Especially since I see the Ultra Sword also making the list.
Monado at the top is the only correct answer
The fact that he did Kirby's up b is hilarious to me because it's actually not a sword at all, it's a boomerang blade that detaches from a hat.
Also I know lore isn't talked about in the tier list, but the Ultra Sword also grows with power so the more strength you use, the bigger and more powerful the sword gets.
You should do a tier list on the assist trophies
My man really said the Levin sword loses in coolness against a damn Minecraft sword
I agree, Monado is Sex, also the fact that evolves into Sex II and III.
Fax tho
Nick always hits with the W uploads
Love seeing more unique stuff from Nick. I know he's done tier lists in the past but not like one where he just says, I like this one because I just do.
W
I'd like to see Shadiversity's take, even though he's talked about a few of these individually. So many of these aren't "clean", but are in fact mall ninja weapons. I bet Marth's sword and the DQ8 sword would rank toward the very top since they have a lot of practicality and subtle style. Mythra's sword would be impossible to swing around without poking yourself with it. Shulk's may stay up there due to being a lightsaber, depending how heavy the big red frame is. Byleth's sword would be really great if it didn't turn into a whip, there's no way anyone could actually swing it around without killing themselves. Plus if you actually did hit someone with it, the whole thing would tangle up on itself and be totally useless.
IDK what the appeal is on any of the minecraft weapons, but they're just basic short swords with a swapped palette. Plus you'd look like a goofy kid holding up a pixelated sword. Easy F tier, right next to the Keyblade, Kirby's swords, and young Link's swords.
Thinking holding a pixelated sword will make you look badass is absolutely WILD
5:06 bro ur editor has no taste, how can he insult minecraft
The reason why I main Shulk and made my own mini Monado
Byleth's sword is easily the best one in my opinion. Whips are already much cooler then swords imo even though swords are very cool so combining the two is just perfection.
I'd give it 2nd place after the Monodo but I agree it's super underrated
I'm curious if TCNIck has even *played* Xenoblade for his massive bias for it.
I'm not even too mad; my Keyblade got nerfed to the ground for "not actually being a sword", but the Buster Sword, Fusion Swords, and Masamune made SS Tier, so fair.
