    The show is hilarious because it was a constant cycle of one team showing off a weapon and then the other team coming up and going “I would simply not get hit”. Which for melee weapons was kinda understandable. But eventually they were using machine guns and rocket launchers and still going “nah I’d move”

      The guests were great. Favorite was the Scottish dudes for William Wallace clearly taking the piss out of the whole thing but having a damn blast doing so and the guy representing the Aztec getting so damn into it that he fucking ripped out the prop heart of the gel dummy, _seemingly_ off-script.
      The Scottish guys pulling their sword out on the person hyping up Shaka and saying "How far can ye spit?" became a running gag in my family, the delivery was perfect. Likewise, sometimes I'll just send my friends a screenshot of the show with "WINNER: SUDDAM HUSSEIN" with 0 context.

      The show was embarrassing because they never even attempted to stage any kind of sparring with blunts and protective gear, so we never even saw if there were any applications of any technique that the "experts" had to respond to each other.
      Show was funny, but also just filled all my highschool friends with the absolute DUMBEST perspectives. It was still funny how we all had a betting pool for which fighter would win.

    The reason why Deadliest Warrior's cast of characters is so small is because they're taken from only about half the episodes from the show's first season. There were essentially two kinds of episodes: those matching up warriors from the distant past (Spartan, Viking, samurai, etc.), and those involving more modern opponents (Mafia, SWAT, the IRA, etc.)

    Also the main reason the first game was just basic warriors and the second was historical figures was because the show itself was like that. The first two seasons (minus one episode) were genral warriors types (Viking, Spartan, Celt, etc.) while season 3 decided to look at historical figures, each with a small militia for the fights. The even having tactical prowess be a big factor.

    I think the devs knew exactly what they were making, a game not really meant for the serious fighting game scene. My friend and I attempted to do a Let's Play channel over a decade ago (not a plug, it's defunct) and we did both this and Legends for a few videos. We had a lot of fun with them for what they were, the first time one of us got that early insta-kill shot with a projectile was hilarious. Legends has dismemberment features and a joke option to keep fighting even if you're cut down to just a pair of legs, it's so crazy.

      It definitely looked rough but it wasn't that in any way.. It was basically asymmetric chivalry.. with small team oriented combat, so instead of the large-scale mashups you had specialized classes and you would be in a group of that and have to deal with various different elements that weren't one to one.. for instance pirates got guns, ninjas were spry, and samurais were tanks with range.. and you know the nights were god-tier because of the butterfly effect and the fact that they're encased in mechanical armor lol..
      I think if this game had gone on it could have found its place.. But if you haven't played chivalry, then you really just wouldn't get it anyways lol.. and I mean the first one by the way, I feel like the second one has a lot going for it... But when I've ever I've seen anybody play it like none of the expression that you got from the first one is showing up anywhere from what I've seen.
      You actually arguably had even more expression in this, even if some of the classes or or civilizations or whatever didn't really get a lot of attention, and possibly if this had been successful they might have.. you could you could clearly see where the love went, and that was okay cuz you didn't have to pick a particular class lol.. you could even just go straight up against the same.. it's all about what your team wanted to wanted to do.
      And it was a it was a good idea to try to expand that chivalry philosophy into other things, and it was definitely lightweight in that regard.. But it would like it had potential for sure.. and just an interesting multiplayer game, I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did when my buddy dragged me into it.. then that's all I wanted to play and I didn't want to play chivalry anymore on account of how tight the teamwork was which.. was always something lacking in chivalry partially due to its chaotic nature, and a lack of communication tools in the game.

I played just enough to get a taste for what you could do and what it could be as a game.. honestly I I'd settle just to try to get any element of chivalry combat back into melee games instead of this target lock got awful nonsense that has even managed to infect first-person games now..
      Like once you've gone chivalry, and you've gotten past that little hump.. I don't even think you need to get past that hump actually... I feel like the AI training bot at the very start back in 2013 was more engaging of a sword fight then I had had and would have in any other game just by its mechanical nature alone.
      Sure, The SBX mod for the original Jedi Knight was pretty close... Kind of wish I hadn't played that almost, as outcast was a bit of a step down in a lot of ways.. But that's more of a game play thing than the actual sword fighting mechanics, although those were also a step down lol.. imagine.. before dark Messiah was even a twinkle in arc's fatalus's... Uh..

    I'd like to see you take a swing at Jurassic Park: Warpath. I don't remember it being excessively awful, just surprisingly underwhelming for a 3D dinosaur fighting game.

    I loved this game! Probably because I knew it was the closest thing I'd ever get to another Bushido Blade game.

    I can't remember if this game was really cheap, or it was free. I just remember having it downloaded on Xbox 360. I never really thought of it as a real fighting game. Just a ok silly little game that could be played for a few minutes here or there.

    How about a Nintendo 64 game from Titus?
    Did that get your attention?
    The Xena: Warrior Princess game.

      He's brought Talisman of Fate up in passing several times. I don't think he's given it an in-depth look though.
      I would like to see it, at any rate; it was a game I grew up with, and as much as I liked it, it did have serious flaws that I could tell even as a kid.

    As someone who had this game as a kid and never got into actual fighters, this game was fun as hell. Honestly, the fact you can start a round with your pal and it's just a game of who can get their throwing weapon off first and insta kill the other was so much fun. Miss me with those button combos and actual skill, I need me a nonsense jank ass fighter like this again.

    The irony of the projectile problem is that this game that's focusing on realism could have solved it by adding more realism. Real war bows are NOT that quick to shoot, they need a ton of force to pull and drawing an arrow from a back quiver is kinda clunky

    I loved playing this game with friends back when it came out. Using the pirate and oneshotting your opponent was hilarious!
