Thats if it even has pivot blade specific animations. What made it cool in 3 is you could actually see it bein used by connor with in kill cams snd what not, but seeing as its sn rpg game, you probably wouldn't even be able to tell unless you go into photo mode or something
@@Genyuine good point. I love the attention to detail and enjoyed doing Connor's standing High-Profile Assassination from the front or back of an enemy. It's visually a treat
Shao Jun's foot blade is technically something so dumb and goofy, but I love it, specially because of how cool her assassination animations are in Chronicles
I also like that although Eivor wears it that way due to her culture, later on Basim and Eivor have a conversation where Basim basically says "You kinda see the purpose of stealth though?" And Eivor is a bit conflicted, yet Basim gets her to admit that being stealthy has helped her a bit in her goals so far. Eivor agrees with this. I like this development where even though her nature is to not use deception, she does see the benefit of using stealth at times.
Though one description from an article by Ubisoft themselves stated that seeing Basin and Hythan's missing fingers may've made Eivor decide to wear the hidden blade outside her forearm instead of under.
29:07 Odyssey is a hot topic, but wow the bracers look like feathers--with the segmented angular/sharp "fins". That's ingenious. Reminds me of your AC1 video with how you said Altaïr's robes spread out just like an eagle when he begins to parkour
Ezio had the best hidden blade design in AC2 but brotherhood bracers is iconic 😭🔥 Also the phantom blade was created by Leonardo da vinchi in Rome for one of ezio students who became a master assassin later on
27:56 Actually, thanks to the Curse of the Pharoahs DLC Bayek got two additional Hidden Blade upgrades that required Shards of a Star, and one of them does look like Altair's hidden blade, right up until the final upgrade that goes back to that wavy format from a previous upgrade, just with a black blade.
Something I find really funny about Shay's hidden blade is that in some of his promotional artwork, his blades are COMICALLY small. Like barely even a blade and just a butter scraper sticking out of his sleeve in some of his promotional artwork.
My favorite is the chain blade concept for AC3, with the razor wire blade coming in a close second. Makes me wonder why Naoe doesn't have a chain blade; the kyoketsu shoge existed and preceded the kusarigama, as did the kunai (I severely wish the hidden kunai wasn't developed by templars).
I always liked the pivot blade from ac3 so I love that return in shadows. Just one tid bit of information, Eivor's bracer (atleast the hidden blade prop that I have) is just slightly different than what you showed, it has additional fur bits going on the edges of the bracer
Ezios brotherhood robes are literally his most iconic for most people, wtf is he talking about. I perfer revelations but there are people that ABSOLUTELY perfer his brotherhood design
I haven't played most of the AC games in ages but it's always been cool using these in Blade & Sorcery with the Tools of the Trade mod. Completely slipped my mind where stuff like the pivot blade was from.
Funny i just noticed how the modern day MC of the webcomic has a similar plot to the movie guy but his is better done and less rushed and his ancestor being Edward helps a lot too...
Altaïr doesn't assassinate with a closed fist but instead with an open palm most likely to bring the whole blade into the target. He holds it in a fist but in action opens his hand to use it. The only characters I know who use a fisted blade style is Connor and Eivor.
I actually prefer the one flashy bracer with the second one hidden like in AC2 & AC3. Fits the assassin role better, the enemy might see the ornate bracers but won’t expect the second hidden one. Shay’s blades being both hidden would be the way I’d go.
I despised the restrictions they put on the hidden blade later on, being able to use it in combat and just being allowed to walk around with them unsheathed were great. That said, my favorite blade/Bracer was Altair’s; with the segmented metal with a unique pattern always kept his outfit complex enough to enjoy. The combat factor of it is just as great, with it being a rewarding but challenging weapon to use in combat.
Hot take... Ezios robes in Revelation are the best looking robes, by far my favorite. Also I think you're mixing up the feelings on his Brotherhood robes. We love them, in Brotherhood, we just don't love them anywhere else bc they just don't look right. They're too stiff and rigid in every other game.
Little Correction over Darius’ Hidden Blade, it wasn’t handed down to Bayek, he has a different one created from Darius’ one, Darius’ hidden blade is actually in Aya’s possession.
I love the Assassin Gauntlet from Syndicate. It has a steampunk-esque design that feels very fitting for the setting, and the addition of the mechanical grapple hook feels like a logical innovation the Assassins would create to navigate the London industrial landscape. I am interested in seeing what the hidden blade design for AC Shadows looks like for Naoe. I hope ot stays on the simpler side of things, with just a blade and a neat bracer design. I do like that it is essentially the pivot blade, but styled to be a modified Tanto, which fits the Japanese setting. It might become my favorite hidden blade design in the series
I'm suprised you didn't go through Desmond's hidden blade in AC3 other than the soft mention during the Movie section. I can't say for the original game, but when I played through AC3R I noticed how cool it was, having a combat knife like appearance and really appreciating the almost 3D printed-esque design of the rails to it.
I see you have finally made the hidden blade review …nice, Also noticed the struggle choosing between blades lol Mines go 1. - 2.Ezio (acb&acr) & frye twins(especially chimera)gauntlet - functionality and aesthetics 3. - 6. Altair,Aguilar,Eivor, Bayeks blades - purely aesthetics lol 7-8. Connor & arno - functionality The rest are ok ✌️😂
When it comes Naoe's hidden blade, one neat thing about it is the blade itself and its' dagger mode is based on a tanto, which is a Japanese dagger which was traditionally used by samurai. Also, fun fact about the phantom blade is the first time it was thought up canotically was by Leonardo da Vinci who designed the phantom blade for Francesco Vecellio in the early 1500s. Also, when it comes to Kassandra's hidden blade design in Nexus, it's the same hidden blade as in her appearance in Valhalla and her storyline is set 20 years after Odyssey and I noticed that it's a thin blade and it's not quite as bulky as Darius's, which suggest that Kassandra's is actually an improved version while meanwhile in Egypt, Darius's original would be passed down with only a few changes made over time with no knowledge or even awareness that someone else had already made a better improved version, which I actually like that as it shows how Kassandra became more isolated from the ever changing, evolving world durring the centuries with only a few times in the timeline where she would show herself like the Valhalla event and the opening of Codename Jade where she would team up with Wei Yu, and what's even more interesting is she wore the hidden blade under her forearm instead of on top like the latter Assassins implying that she made this hidden blade to replace the Spear of Leonidas and to use it manly for stealth and she didn't even sacrifice her ring finger to use it or even accidentally sliced her finger off while using it, and this was centuries before Altair would get the knowledge to make the modification to the hidden blade to insure it can be used under the forearm safely without removing the finger, so this suggests that unlike Bayek, Kassandra is a lot more careful of using it under the forearm.
Edward takes place before Arno which means, that out of all the assassins, Edward is technically the first known assassin to first use the phantom blade
Actually, Edward isn't the first one to use the phantom blade, the concept canotically was first thought up by Leonardo da Vinci and he designed it for Francesco Vecellio in the early 1500s.
Ok so ac nexus your a hacker running around as Conner Ezio and Kassandra finding isu computer bits for abstergo while working with the assassins to destroy the memories so abstergo can’t build there computer, it’s 3 past plot lines in one game. I do not know if Conner has undergone any character development.
19:51 Easily my favorite Assassin Hidden Blade. It's so creative, and indicative of the time period without looking like a mess like Syndicate. A Rambo-styled knife and a Taxi-driver material. sh*t. Even the green gives me Nirvana vibes. Only thing it's missing is story significance in a good game for a good character, then it'd be a better matchup. I'd also be interested in an ac game using the dismantling/assemblage of a hidden blade for a dramatic kill at the narrative's end. An idea as novel as that should have been implemented for Desmond and would have painted the kill of Vidic for example as a perfect culmination of his training
Tis good video, the individual break down of your own thoughts on each blade design and then trying to work out how you would rank them was entertaining and interesting to watch for a different view point of taste (I have a preference for understated though I feel it still needs to have a bracer design) But.... I cannot sit comfortably with you saying that the single edge on the shadows blade makes it better without providing a counter argument. Having only one edge instead of two edges on a knife means that the slash is more effective, it does reduce the stabbing capability, but more importantly the number of directions you can attack in. While on a normal blade this can be adjusted for by changing grip but this issue is exacerbated by the fact that it is attached to the wrist. This would prevent the blade from facing another direction while keeping the point in the same direction and reduce effectiveness (main example I can come up with is attacking a throat from behind, only the blunt side is accessible comfortably). Also because of where it sits its also in the optimal position to stab and pointy is good for getting through armour weak points. That being said it looks really nice and the blade design is one of my favourite looking. Reminds me of either a peshkabz or yataghan dagger, though the one with the similar pattern is opposite side of asia. (Royal armouries online collection really fun to look through) Did I make a rant about a small off hand comment? Probably. But I researched knives for a year and I need to get something out of it so If I can share information I will take any oppertunity I can get. Hope it is informative or intesting
Nexus's plot: Abstergo is looking for pieces of an Isu machine to combine with the Animus to make technology that could predict and influence human behavior. These fragments are all in different eras (Ancient Greece, Italian Renaissance, American Revolution). The Assassins hire a double agent hacker (you) sabotage them. Ezio's storyline is he uncovers a a conspiracy that results on another attack on a recovering Monteriggioni and an attack on his life. This takes place between Brotherhood and Revelations Kassandra's storyline is that she's in her own conspiracy with Greek politics This takes place after Odyssey Connor's storyline is tasked to eliminate Aidan Galway which of course leads him down his own conspiracy paths including a Templar who doesn't like Haytham. This takes place during AC3. Outside of the fragments, there are small things that do link the three eras together. And of course this is a massive over simplified summary. lmao Unfortunately Connor's storyline is the weakest because it's restricted by it's placement within AC3 timeline. Ezio's storyline is the best and Kassandra's is better than Odyssey (though the bar isn't very high for that)
Though one neat thing about Connor's storyline is the second half of it is actually a retelling of a real thing that's happened during the American Revolution and Connor helps out with it, which is something that we haven't seen in the AC series in a long time, having historical events being retold and the protagonist is involved in it, which is something we hoping to see more of in future games like in Assassin's Creed Shadows, but we'll see.
I just know this is going to be controversial for me "I'm regretting my choices already" 😂😂 Hm ok so you seem to put the bracers in a far brighter spotlight than I expected. Also ezio's blades are not stubby, nor are they asymmetrical in game 😢they are both long asf on his in game model. Don't trust concept/promotional/box art I'm surprised you like Naoe's when it's also stubby just like Edward's. Is it bc she has a bracer while he doesn't? And didn't (forgot to?) mention the hidden gun + poison blade on ezio's In any case that was fun. Thanks for the video
Wait you forgot the the assassins mentors blade and Daniel Cross's hidden blade Abstergo gave him. They are both seen in the fall and the chain comics.
In all honesty, since it’s a game that’s based on “history” it’s easy to just look at it as events going unrecorded or changed through the times. We never really see how the first blade was made. Just how it was used.
This is somthing I agree with you 100% the fact the only thing I hate about ac black flag is that the hidden blade it's my favorite weapon to use but Kenuei are way too short make them as long as altairs back knife I don't mine to use 2 Machetes as hidden blades but I have to say it at the same time he's are the most hidden blades of them all ezoi he a nice lenght to it to use it as a knife but also to be able to stab somoane from the cest to the back And there are 3 more thing that if they added that in a remaster this game it's perfect 1 optional using 1 or 2 sorwds/hidden blades 2 chose what ship you want to use at least from your fleet I was dayng knowing my crow he'd better bigger with more canons ships Than Me 3 there are allot of animations and now look at ghost of tsushima or dinglight and this game was made in 2013 or dying light 2 or dead island this game it's even older they can make it so that we amputate lims or gut them or stag them and see them strongly to breed or if we shot them on the leg or arms see them no longer use that arn or no longer be able to run at least when we do finishers
Too bad Willis, Shaun's shock blade counts. Besides it's the hidden part that counts and sorry but Odyssey doesn't count at all. Last I looked spears aren't hidden
Slightly off topic but I played AC2 for the first time yesterday after playing everything between Black Flag up to Syndicate. I stopped playing after 3 hours because I found it really boring. I had very high hopes for this game but the controls were poor and the gameplay just doesn’t hold up in 2024 like it did in 2009. People go crazy about this game and I don’t understand. Does the game get any better after you get the hidden blade fixed or is it the same? Please let me know.
So, from my time trying to understand the plot of Nexus, it's mainly about trying to stop Abstergo once again, but here's a disappointment to it, Connor's story takes place DURING the events of AC3 and not any point after whereas Ezio's is in between Brotherhood and Revelations and of course Kassandra's is after Odyssey, but before her meeting with Eivor.
You really gotta drop the "Brotherhood robes are nobody's favorite" thing. It's like saying the symbiote suit is nobody's favorite Spider-Man suit.
They’re my least favourite of the ezio robes but I respect that opinion

I think it works due to her proficiency in kick-based Martial Arts, so it's taking advantage of her own abilities.
I always thought it was interesting how, by mounting the blade on her forearm, Eivor was unknowingly using the blade as originally intended by Darius

8:33 that is something that HAUNTS my autistic mind since i was 15. Always have bugged me and always will (same thing for Ezio's in Beotherhood)
The assassin's are actually based off real assassin's in 435 BCE the hidden blade was made during that time too
The hidden blade in the boot was already done about 50 years before Assassin's Creed in James Bond
Too bad Willis, Shaun's shock blade counts. Besides it's the hidden part that counts and sorry but Odyssey doesn't count at all. Last I looked spears aren't hidden
AC 2/Giovanni’s Robes are Ezio’s worst canon robes of the three
Ezio’s Brotherhood and Revelations robes are peak >>>>
6:44
You should watch the Chronicles of riddick
Loved the knife boot screen as a kid
Slightly off topic but I played AC2 for the first time yesterday after playing everything between Black Flag up to Syndicate. I stopped playing after 3 hours because I found it really boring. I had very high hopes for this game but the controls were poor and the gameplay just doesn’t hold up in 2024 like it did in 2009. People go crazy about this game and I don’t understand. Does the game get any better after you get the hidden blade fixed or is it the same? Please let me know.
I'm giving you a dislike for calling the assassin's creed movie and abomination of boredom. And for calling the Assassin's Creed comics god awful.
So, from my time trying to understand the plot of Nexus, it's mainly about trying to stop Abstergo once again, but here's a disappointment to it, Connor's story takes place DURING the events of AC3 and not any point after whereas Ezio's is in between Brotherhood and Revelations and of course Kassandra's is after Odyssey, but before her meeting with Eivor.
