I'm sure you meant the Shamisen :) it's a three stringed traditional banjoo kind of instrument that can function as an addition to the percussion since you hit the body with a large plectrum when playing the strings. Koto and Shamisen can be easily mistaken for each other when not heard at the same time. The koto sounds way softer and has a more broad volume while the Shamisen sounds thinner and more metallic
I want to play one game of breach in my lifetime where both teams are completely devoted to a faction, on a map that makes sense. For instance, an entire team of knights storming Kazan Castle, which is defended by a team of samurai. Would be so awesome.
Fun fact: 6:09 that first part "埋もれ木の Umoregi no 花咲くことも Hanasaku koto mo なかりしに Nakarishi ni 身のなる果てぞ Mi no nari hate zo 悲しかりける” Kanashikarikeru Was the death poem of Minamoto no Yorimasu, a famous poet and samurai during the Genpei War.
I remember playing breach mode for the first time when I was high as f@ck. Getting into the commander battle and hearing this music was epic as hell. I really felt like a warrior during a battle.
FYI. The depressing tone of the poem comes from the situation of its author when he writes it. Basically the writer Minamoto belongs to one of the two big political families in Japan at 1180s. Minamoto seeks to overtake the powerful Chancellor who manipulates the emperor and uses the imperial orders in his own favor. However he was exposed before he could make a move on the Chancellor, and was forced to flee. At the end, he was trapped at a temple with few of his followers fighting against a powerful army. This poem symbolized not only his futile death, but also witnessed the breakout of a national scale conflict that brings Japan into decades of civil war and chaos.
ChiefDC1435 actually had a match like this. This music was playing in the background, we had just breached the inner gate but were taking steady losses. The Aramusha told us to regroup as soon as he respawned, so we all patiently waited to respawn, readying for a final charge. One by one we respawned, and when we were all assembled, we charged, once again into the fray and emerged victorious after hard-fought battle.
Oh yeah totally,altough I get used to the newer menu musics so it doesent really bother me after the first few days but having an option to choose would be much better.
When you’re playing as Kensei and the entire defender side decides to take you on, but they can’t defeat you. I’m fairly sure the music was pushing me beyond my normal limits because I can almost never pull that off.
How to play kensei: *spams zone and soft feints* Others: that's not how you play as him- Me: then how to fight fight a person that doesn't parry 100% of the time! Others: ... Me: you Simply can't!
I was last in my attack team as a PeaceKeeper. The Commander had two 4 more bars to go. So when I saw everyone waiting for me to arrive, that freaking Koto kicked in and I just started deflecting my way to the commander and as I was that flute came in. I wish I recorded it. Crazy how music can really give you a boost of skill.
The thing i love about for honor is that i've played it for a good while that i started to focus on the music when playing breach cause as the game continues the music gets more intense as the timer goes down every second.
As a practitioner of kenjutsu, I greatly appreciate the real effort to make the swordplay feel real for everyone except the kensai. Nodachi aren't a slow weapon at all. Nitpicking I know, but, someone who chose to focus on a nodachi would master ways to move the weapon around faster. Especially a kensai. For god's sake, the word means sword god.
I figured that the nodachi was slow simply because of them needing to swing such a large, potentially unwieldly blade in such a precise manner. Then again, I'm not a practitioner of Kenjutsu. Always meant to try learning it however. It's such a beautiful blend of elegant artistry and battle hardened ferocity. Also, I thought that Kensei meant sword 'saint'. Or can it be either since the word 'sei' typically refers to something of divine properties or semblance?
@@Spiralpaladin In Japanese theology, saints weren't a thing. That's strictly a Catholic thing. Kami/kame means god and emperor on its own or turtle. There are words that use kame, which is a homophone. Just about everyone knows about the kamehameha. Translated from Japanese, divine/turtle wave beam. Hawaiian, just means turtle wave. Japanese has a few homophones that change meaning on how you inflect certain syllables. SAke is rice wine. saKE is salmon. Getting off track though. I specialize in tachi. Larger than katana, but smaller than nodachi. Tachi are distinct in that they have 2 sakura pins in the shira as opposed to a katana having 1. Also, the kisaki (tip) is generally a bit more spear shaped as opposed to slightly rounded. Katana can have this feature too and it's called an o-kisaki. O-anything means big, large, great, grand. O-yoroi means grand armor or great armor if you're from Kyoto. Again, off topic, but, it shows that Japanese is a flexible language similar to english in how words can be "smithed" to mean things they otherwise wouldn't mean. As an example for that wordsmithing, digikame means digital camera. We know kame means turtle or divine. Neither of which at all describe a camera. In fact, there's no hiragana for digikame. It's in katakana. You could write it in hiragana, but, it wouldn't mean anything. I think the kanji is also incredibly specific for it too. So, while kensai might translate to sword saint, the implication is the man with that title is viewed as a living god. A particular kenjutsu master and I mean master, is nominated for the title of kensai. First guy in a LONG time to get that honor. He's not the guy that can cut bbs mid flight. This guy has ended spar duels in 2 seconds. The last man that fast was Miyomoto Musashi and that was 500 years ago. 63-0 record. Died in a cave writing his book.
Just imagine hearing that barbaric shouting combined with drums and then you see hundreds of amgery samurai on horses and yari spears charging down the hill
Once i was in a breach match with my clan allies and we were defenders.The enemies had 30 tickets where they entered the the area of the commander.With this theme in the background,we actually won against the enemy with our king having a half bar of health.
Anh Nguyễn I know I responded late but the commander is actually helpful. Sometimes his top heavy is so unexpected you parry it if you react seeing the red blink. But if you run, he just lunges at you like “YEET!!”
They are reciting a poem written by Minamoto no Yorimasa. A poet and samurai general during the Gempei War. It basically goes like this in English: Like a fossil tree From which we gather no flowers Sad has been my life Fated no fruit to produce.
