I love how he isn’t a refined fighter by any means, but he still kicks everyone’s ass. It’s cool knowing that throughout all of his travels he would pick up a technique and implement it into his own style.
I seriously think Uncharted games had one of the best melee system. Offense and defense animations linked together in such a way that withoud the HUD it looked like a cutscene. Final sword fight in U4 was intense and looked fantastic
I have the Game Informer magazine issue that highlighted Uncharted 4, and the developers stated they had entire melee trees for their animation system. So, for example, Nate would throw a punch, and based on his position at the end of the time that animation plays, they have a few animations that start at his previous end position. One of those animations would play (I think the game chooses semi-randomly) and from there, another set of animations would pick up. So on and so forth, until the animation that ends the encounter.
@@Harry192131 I wish it was more combo oriented and being able to pull off the moves you want. But I still really enjoyed it, the counter was replaced by a roll.
I always appreciated the fact that they made him a good fighter , but not an master nunja or some shit , it really gives the character more depth and more relatability
@HUNK • nadine has more experience in fighting and training nate is just average in his fighting styles he just knows how to fight but nadine knows how to brutaly take down her opponent and kill them efectivly also she has experience in war i think so for her to live through it she trained a lot.
@TheLee no it wasnt. I read from the reports her gender had nothing to do with it. Plus let us not forget naughty dog had to remove 1 unruly video game tester from the studio. Mainly because nadine ended up winning with Neil replying "what does that matter?" Meaning there was no trace or hint of feminism and it was made up by the MRA movement in an effort to boycott naughty dog. Which explains all the fake TH-cam accounts (a tactic I've seen on the MRA site)I've been seeing on this issue that yall still crying about.🤔🤦♂️
@TheLee no man shes literally the leader of a mercenary army. As such has proper athletic and military level training. Nathan is a skilled fighter but hes still only civilian level training
@@derianarce2686 Some of the best MMA fighters were never in the military. I’m sure people in the military are taught a lot of nonsense too- just bc she’s a leader doesn’t guarantee she’d know anything about hand to hand fighting really.
Well done, sir. I've loved the character of Nathan Drake for a long time, so it's amazing to see his fighting style analyzed by someone with an eye for martial arts. Based off what you see in the games, he looks like a street fighter (which is how he fights, more or less). But once you look deeper into the choreography, you can tell more about the character and whether their fighting style or combination of styles would work well in a fight. I think the same goes for every character that's been called a great fighter. I've been looking forward to seeing more of your videos, and you did not disappoint. As usual, keep up the great work my friend! Best of luck on the next batch of videos!
@@edwardvillanueva4942 it's a video game though they you don't get rid of gameplay in favor of the story that just proves they should be making movies. And really though that's there excuse "he's older" okay he forgets how to duck but can roll like a bowling ball? I have never seen anyone do that
Yeah in uncharted 3 his reflexes and fighting are in his highest level the whole he is older excuse in uncharted 4 doesn't seem to make sense since after everything he has been through he would still have the muscle memory to counter and dodge so even though he is older he would hold his own in a fight against Nadine and wouldn't be that easy of a fight to Nadine but also Nadine is an elite fighter and soldier However Nate has fought and beaten fighters as skilled or even more skilled than her like lazarevic in uncharted 2 Navarro in uncharted 1 and Talbot in uncharted 3 and Talbot is well trained since he knows Kali escrima or some sort of martial art related to knives fighting and he held his own against him so he could've putted a bit more of a fight
I really like the attention to detail that Nathan’s fighting isn’t perfect. With his double leg takedown it was beautifully excuted except he needs to posture his head up more to avoid guillotines and sprawls
I dont know why but uncharted gameplays just suddenly started appearing on my recommendations lol. Now I'm re playing the uncharted games starting from Drake's Fortune haha
I really appreciate that Nate uses jujitsu. Having done it for about 6 years I know most of the moves Nate does, it brings joy knowing that a childhood hero uses some of the moves I know.
his grappling style is just part of his brawler aspect but he observe every aspect of combat like fighting nadine as nadine is a much more training and experience
Natham and as probably trained by Sully to some degree and it is noted that Sully was in the Navy, so it is probable that he has some knowledge of what is trained there. Don't know how that applies but it could help narrow down from which martial arts he got some of his moves
He'll also kick people, but only when they're down so I won't call that a fighting style. Other than that and that single judo throw, it's pretty much just boxing, with surprisingly good technique at times.
@@Godzillarex Damn Yakuza games have legit techniques?? Never played those because I always thought combat system was wayy to anime from what I saw. Gotta give it a try I suppose
It’s stated in one of the games (can’t remember which off the top of my head, think it was 3 or 4) which says that Kiryu’s style is a combination of street fighting, wrestling, boxing and Komaki martial arts. Additionally, he learned sword fighting from Komaki in 1, Bo wielding from granny white in 2, and the rest from Shoji in 3.
Sic Parvis Magna. Great video, I love how you can analyse a character that doesn’t really have a martial arts prowess. Nathan Drake is awesome! Uncharted is one of the greatest game series of all time.
remember when nate sword fight rafe? rafe: you know how to sword fight? nate: yeah. i stick you with the sharp end right? :) so nate is really clueless how to sword fight but he use his ability to dodge and yeah just improvise and it work lol
Same, and I was about to include that, but I re watched the footage and their ¨Superman¨ punches look more like small hops. Granted, that´s the realistic version, but It looked like a completely different technique.
The push kick can actually be very effective. I've seen it happen with my own eyes. The guy who was pushed back fell on his back a distance away from the guy who push kicked him.
Indeed it is! It's just that the popularity of the push kick is a running joke on my channel. If you want to see a serious breakdown on it, see Captain America's Fighting Skillls episode.
I think the swinging the arm after a backfist fits Nate well. He is not one who sticks to the rules, and adapts to situations. So his technique becomes a bit unclean* and he puts more of his weight into the punch. Fighting styles of fictional characters should always tell about the characters personality. Btw, I like that you don't take that many fighting styles on the list anymore, for the reasons you mentioned. In general, countless people are always like "There was a clich/he used his knee, so he practises Muay Thai"... I don't need to practise MT to use a knee strike. Not like no other martial art uses it. *hope it is the fitting word for a technique not done exactly according to requirements, I am not a native English speaker
Most of Ethan Hunt's fighting skills especially from MI3 onward are pretty much just KFM/Keysi Fighting Method, due to what Tom Cruise had trained in, MI1 and MI2 were FMA/Filipino Martial Arts due to the fight choreography done by Jeff Imada.
If they came out with a game storyline where he took time to receive serious martial arts training from an experienced sensei or sifu, we could say that he improved his approach in spades.
I love Nathan's fighting style it's like street mixed with boxing and Muay thai cuz he uses knees and elbows and some kicks and his dodges and fists moves are like boxing
That’s why he’s such a great character, the fact that he’s always in over his head carries its way into combat. He doesn’t have good form for fighting or shooting but he gets the job done. It’d be worse if he was a master at these skills because it wouldn’t fit his character.
If a character is on my list of suggested videos, it means it will eventually happen! But you may have to wait. Nathan Drake has been suggested for 3 years haha.
I’ve played all four main Uncharted games and I thought Nate’s fighting style was nonsensical and improvised. Never realized what a skilled combatant he was. P.S. Do a list for Korra from The Legend of Korra.
@@Godzillarex Loved it, I have always liked Nathan Drake despite only having a limited experience with Uncharted 2. Might grab the collection one of these days.
@@dirtyfighters7751 The novels don't count in this analysis, I explicitly mention that in the video. At no point in the game does Sully "train" him in martial arts. Just how to be a thief.
An interesting fighting style to analyze could be Chloe Frazer's from Uncharted Lost Legacy since you can see her throwing haymakers and random strikes like Nate but she'll also sometimes perform more professional techniques like a spinning heel hook kick as a finisher
Nathan Drake is most definitely a jack of all trades underdog hand to hand combatant. That’s the best way that I can explain it after growing up playing Uncharted for years since I was a kid. He definitely knows how to fight, and there is some skill and finesse tied into his particular fighting style. However, the dude is a brawler at his core. It always seemed to me like Nate would just apply various elements of fighting styles over his typical brawler approach for quick takedowns.
I laughed when Rafe said I couldn’t fence for shit, because during the sword fight he never hit me once. The key to winning that fight getting hurt is to just counter attack
i still find it kind of ridiculous that nate lost that badly to nadine, i wouldn’t mind him losing to a more skilled opponent but c’mon he should’ve been able to put up a fight
I say in the video, explicitly, that he isn't trained. He's just picked things up on his adventures that have been inspired by real world martial arts.
Nate's techniques are basically the mix of wrestling and boxing with some low kicks. This type of fighting style is very similar with the ancient Greek martial art of Pankration.
Actually, Pankration was primarily wrestling based. Any and all documentation of that style depicts men grappling with one another, not striking at each other with punches and kicks .
@@dirtyfighters7751 What? That doesn't make any sense. Just because Nadine is good in close combat, it doesn't mean she is a better shooter than him. Nate kills often pirates, thieves or some selftrained mercenarys, mostly with guns, not with his "insane" martial art skills. Nadine is a long trained profi. She specialized herself the entire life in close combat and martial arts. Nate didn't. Nates super power is to shoot and have luck. That's even a game mechanic. Did you ever notice the screen becoming red in a shoot out? That's not because he gets hit or something like that, no, his luck runs out. The redder the screen, the higher is the chance that his luck runs out and that he will be hit by a deadly bullet. That's an official game mechanic. Nate never gets hit by a bullet in the entire franchise, that's canon. He has just luck. But even with luck he could never kill someone in close combat, at least no one who fought her entire life on a professional level. Just because Nate kills a lot of people with his AK47, it doesn't automatically mean that he has the experience to kill her in close combat. Also, he never wanted to kill her.
No the truth is it is where Nathan was retired for 4 or 5 years that is why Nadine got the best of him because if you don't fight R train for 4 or 5 years then your timing and everything will be off
@@StonewallJackson1865 Do you even remeber how he defeated them? He couldn't even kill or hurt Talbot. In the end Nathan killed him with a gun, because it was the only way how he could handle the situation. The same thing with Lazarowicz. He couldn't even hurt or kill him in close combat, because he was simply not strong enough for that. So he shot on resin to make him slower and in the end this monster fighters killed him. Also, he killed the army soldiers from both fractions mostly with weapons or guns. How good the army was trained in close combat is absolutely unclear. Just because Nathan can shoot a lot of people it doesn't mean he is a better close combat fighter.
I think Drake, in Uncharted 1 mainly, style is dirty fighting in general, which would make sense since he isn't exactly trained to almost anything. He just take a bunch of moves that he knows he can do easily (mainly punches) while using whatever he can find as a weapon. Which I like, because Nate isn't a soldier or a trained person, he just use whatever he can to win or at least to get the advantage
I would really love to see you analyze Wei Shen from Sleeping Dogs. From what I was able to see, I noticed a large variety of martial arts in that game. Love ur videos!
Great video as always. I was wondering how many fighting styles James Bond knows, but then I thought "which Bond?" Between all of them they are pretty well rounded. Then I thought of Ra's Al Ghul. And then I thought " oh yeah. He knows all of them. " Thanks for the video. It was awesome. We look forward to the next one.
At first I was thinking "Well this will probably be a bit like Lara Croft. A couple of styles, and thats it." But it seems he was somewhat challenging to analyze because he is _that_ much of an amateur. Some basic training in self-defense and he could probably warrant a Krav Maga classification, but not even that. It ended up being different from the other videos, always with someone who is at least refined. The final list makes perfect sense for a person who fights a lot, but never had training.
Great video. I like how you demonstrate expertise by going in depth into each fighting style. You should do Joel from The Last of Us! Not sure how much there is to dissect but I’d like to see your take on his fighting prowess.
i always thought rafe was just being his usual douchey self when he commented on nate's fencing, but looks like what he said holds some water, great analysis as always. PS: could you do dante from dmc (1 through 5)?
In Uncharted 3 Nate had to punch an enemie like 15 times to knock him out And I was like "Why is it taking you so long?, you can climb an skyscraper and swing with a rope" Then in Uncharted 4 enemies get downed with 3 punchs lol
I'd like to point out a few mistakes made here. If you've looked into naughty dog as a company you'd know their feminist agenda is crystal clear and that all the cards stack up, that's why you cannot trust the Nadine fights since Nathan was clearly nerfed, he legit started swinging like an old man with a broken back which he never does, but even then Nate is shown countering kicks and pretty much all of Nadine's attacks throught the games something I think you should of analyzed a bit more but here's a great video showcasing exactly that. th-cam.com/video/ThQYRBDnf_c/w-d-xo.html Nathan has pinned Rafe to to the wall and could of killed him right there and then but because Drake doesn't kill in cold blood he, wanted all three of them to escape until Rafe took advantage of it and Nathan was forced to kill him to save himself and his brother, I'm not saying Nathan is a good fencer but I am saying he technically won because of his amazing dodging ability and his lightning speed reflexes. At the end of the Talbot fight you can clearly see Nathan looked away for a good second due to the pillars falling around him wanting to get out alive whilst Talbot's main goal was to purely kill Drake and couldn't care less about life or death at the time, that's the only reason Nathan "lost" the fight, again I'm not saying he's an expert at disarming a knife but he still has his reflexes, timing and martial arts knowledge to back him up. Otherwise great video and I cant wait to see more from you soon.
They aren't "mistakes." I've seen that video before, just because he can counter the attack, doesn't mean he can counter everyone who ever delivers that attack. Also, he's much older and more inexperienced when he fights Nadine. Granted UC2 Nate could have fared much better and not taken as many hits, but at the end of the day, he was never formally trained. Training is what elevates you from really good to excellent. And sure, you can argue there was a certain amount of emotional decisions involved in certain fights, but we're here to critique and analyze the outcomes, not what might have been going on in his head at the time.
Yet another great video, I enjoy seeing how many fighting styles I can come up with before watching your analysis. I think looking at James Bond, Ethan Hunt or Jason Borne would be interesting. Unless I've missed it I haven't seen anything of them pop up your channel.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I can't do those characters because the studios behind those films demonetize my videos, I'm sorry. But just so you know, Bourne is mostly Kali, Bond and Ethan Hunt are mostly Boxing, but Daniel Craig's version dabbles a little bit in Kali.
I appreciate it! I highly recommend watching my Solid Snake vs Sam Fisher video if you haven't yet. I personally perform in it and also choreographed the fights! th-cam.com/video/mXImFlpwc2w/w-d-xo.html

@@Dragonflyjones67 wow he knows wing Chun?
@@Dragonflyjones67 He also knows judo
@@Cxpitalise Shaui Jiao is Chinese Fast Wrestling. It's the forerunner of Judo&Jujitsu!!!!
I think Wei's fighting style is that of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kun Do
i don't know, spider-man from the insomniac game has a lot of moves.
Mata Nui Adrian’s going to do that one. It’ll come when it’s ready.
Uncharted is the best game series for me
I love his style cause it’s random
I really can't wait for godzillarex's next fighting scene breakdown and analyical story battles
Do Leon Kennedy fighting style in Resident evil series plssss
Good idea
isn't it canon that he's mainly been trained in systema?
@@muneercloete7313 Yeah
It is kinda canon
My favorite RE is the 4
Here you go! th-cam.com/video/WDe997Uo7jk/w-d-xo.html
Fantastic video mate!
Great analysis as always man.
Glad you liked it man!
@@Godzillarex Loved it, I have always liked Nathan Drake despite only having a limited experience with Uncharted 2. Might grab the collection one of these days.
I mean at some point I think uncharted 3 drake mentions he wishes he would have done training in the military like sully asked him too
@@dirtyfighters7751 The novels don't count in this analysis, I explicitly mention that in the video. At no point in the game does Sully "train" him in martial arts. Just how to be a thief.
Neat video bro. A good one of these could be on Leon from the Resident Evil games.
An interesting fighting style to analyze could be Chloe Frazer's from Uncharted Lost Legacy since you can see her throwing haymakers and random strikes like Nate but she'll also sometimes perform more professional techniques like a spinning heel hook kick as a finisher
to me he's got the hollywood fighting style.
Nathan Drake is most definitely a jack of all trades underdog hand to hand combatant. That’s the best way that I can explain it after growing up playing Uncharted for years since I was a kid. He definitely knows how to fight, and there is some skill and finesse tied into his particular fighting style. However, the dude is a brawler at his core. It always seemed to me like Nate would just apply various elements of fighting styles over his typical brawler approach for quick takedowns.
I laughed when Rafe said I couldn’t fence for shit, because during the sword fight he never hit me once. The key to winning that fight getting hurt is to just counter attack
Nathan Drake is just so iconic
i still find it kind of ridiculous that nate lost that badly to nadine, i wouldn’t mind him losing to a more skilled opponent but c’mon he should’ve been able to put up a fight
I’m a huge Uncharted fan and I love this vid 😄
Plz do a vid on Joel from The Last of Us 💪🏼
I said that!!
What about Wei Shen in Sleeping Dogs? I'm really interested to see the martial arts involved with that game!
Before I watch this video, I've never really believed that Nate was trained. I believe that he improvises as he goes.
I say in the video, explicitly, that he isn't trained. He's just picked things up on his adventures that have been inspired by real world martial arts.
@@Godzillarex so luck lol
We have Sully, an ex-Navy, literally telling a teen Nate that he'd teach him everything he knows.
Nate isn't the greatest fighter but the guy can really throw'em and can get the job done
Mad max fighting style
Here it is! th-cam.com/video/-A7oHTIf5wo/w-d-xo.html
I love how much of a dirty fighter he is
This is proof that a game's fighting system doesn't need to be super technical, just fun
Love these games more than anything lol. I was 8 when Uncharted 3 came out and I would always chill at GameStop and play that demo over and over again
5:12 loved this move was waiting for you to mention it good work✊🏽
Awesome! Share the video if you get the chance!
Nate knows somewhat of boxing, BJJ and kickboxing.
Nate's techniques are basically the mix of wrestling and boxing with some low kicks. This type of fighting style is very similar with the ancient Greek martial art of Pankration.
Actually, Pankration was primarily wrestling based. Any and all documentation of that style depicts men grappling with one another, not striking at each other with punches and kicks .
Nate:*Can defeat a guy with a knife, a guy with a sword and a guy with a literall shotgun*
Also Nate:*Can't defeat a Nadine girl*
Because Nadine is a much more educated and skilled fighter than Nate.
@@dirtyfighters7751
What? That doesn't make any sense. Just because Nadine is good in close combat, it doesn't mean she is a better shooter than him. Nate kills often pirates, thieves or some selftrained mercenarys, mostly with guns, not with his "insane" martial art skills.
Nadine is a long trained profi. She specialized herself the entire life in close combat and martial arts. Nate didn't. Nates super power is to shoot and have luck. That's even a game mechanic. Did you ever notice the screen becoming red in a shoot out? That's not because he gets hit or something like that, no, his luck runs out. The redder the screen, the higher is the chance that his luck runs out and that he will be hit by a deadly bullet. That's an official game mechanic. Nate never gets hit by a bullet in the entire franchise, that's canon.
He has just luck.
But even with luck he could never kill someone in close combat, at least no one who fought her entire life on a professional level.
Just because Nate kills a lot of people with his AK47, it doesn't automatically mean that he has the experience to kill her in close combat.
Also, he never wanted to kill her.
No the truth is it is where Nathan was retired for 4 or 5 years that is why Nadine got the best of him because if you don't fight R train for 4 or 5 years then your timing and everything will be off
Also Nathan has beat trained Fighters before like Talbot and lazarowicz and his army
@@StonewallJackson1865 Do you even remeber how he defeated them? He couldn't even kill or hurt Talbot. In the end Nathan killed him with a gun, because it was the only way how he could handle the situation. The same thing with Lazarowicz. He couldn't even hurt or kill him in close combat, because he was simply not strong enough for that. So he shot on resin to make him slower and in the end this monster fighters killed him.
Also, he killed the army soldiers from both fractions mostly with weapons or guns. How good the army was trained in close combat is absolutely unclear. Just because Nathan can shoot a lot of people it doesn't mean he is a better close combat fighter.
I think Drake, in Uncharted 1 mainly, style is dirty fighting in general, which would make sense since he isn't exactly trained to almost anything. He just take a bunch of moves that he knows he can do easily (mainly punches) while using whatever he can find as a weapon. Which I like, because Nate isn't a soldier or a trained person, he just use whatever he can to win or at least to get the advantage
Joel from "the last of us" would be a video I'd love to see
I feel like Joel is a streetfighter, but he has hands
Do a video like this about deathstroke
I would really love to see you analyze Wei Shen from Sleeping Dogs. From what I was able to see, I noticed a large variety of martial arts in that game. Love ur videos!
Do “How many fighting styles does Kung Fu Panda know”
Please!
It's right in the title man. Kung Fu. And if you want to get really specific, it seems to be heavily Wing Chung influenced.
What about doing a "how many fighting styles do dean and sam winchester know" that would be cool
From
Supernatural??
Can’t wait for Deathstroke🙂🙂🙂🙂😀
Tahmid Antar yeah he is but he is doing Arkham deathstroke
Marvel's Spider-Man from Insomniac Games? One of the best fighting systems, superhero or not!
Great Vid once again but are you doing a video on Spider-Man PS4?
He's on the list! I'm going to get to him at some point this year!
Great video as always. I was wondering how many fighting styles James Bond knows, but then I thought "which Bond?" Between all of them they are pretty well rounded. Then I thought of Ra's Al Ghul. And then I thought " oh yeah. He knows all of them. " Thanks for the video. It was awesome. We look forward to the next one.
Varies craig james bond knew krav maga and juijutsu. Book james bond knows systema sean Connery knew akido and karate
@@jashardwallington between all the movies, he pretty much knows them all. I liked "Die Another Day." Love a good sword fight.
My favourite fighting style he has is “Spider-Man” when he hits someone from off his grappling hook
At first I was thinking "Well this will probably be a bit like Lara Croft. A couple of styles, and thats it." But it seems he was somewhat challenging to analyze because he is _that_ much of an amateur. Some basic training in self-defense and he could probably warrant a Krav Maga classification, but not even that. It ended up being different from the other videos, always with someone who is at least refined. The final list makes perfect sense for a person who fights a lot, but never had training.
Impressive explanation i always viewed Nathan Drake style as that of experience brawler, but this is a very good explanation well done sir.
Thanks Zane! Be sure to check out my other Fighting Styles videos if you can!
@@Godzillarex shall do :)
Great video. I like how you demonstrate expertise by going in depth into each fighting style. You should do Joel from The Last of Us! Not sure how much there is to dissect but I’d like to see your take on his fighting prowess.
Thanks Nathan! He's mostly just a street boxer, using the environment to help him out.
Nathan Draker the kickboxer😎
i always thought rafe was just being his usual douchey self when he commented on nate's fencing, but looks like what he said holds some water, great analysis as always.
PS: could you do dante from dmc (1 through 5)?
His comment did have merit haha, he's on the list!
@@Godzillarex Yay!!!!
Pretty much but nathen got some decent blows against rafe in there sword fight
Great breakdown with an unexpected twist. I figured you woulda gone with Muay Thai but Karate does make a lot of sense.
In Uncharted 3
Nate had to punch an enemie like 15 times to knock him out
And I was like "Why is it taking you so long?, you can climb an skyscraper and swing with a rope"
Then in Uncharted 4 enemies get downed with 3 punchs lol
He basically turned into a slugger in 4.
Well everyone in uncharted has unrealistic insane durability
Nate has a very creative Fighting Style and that's what I like about his Character.
Do Joel from the last of us
God I love this channel.
Thanks man!
UC3 was Nathan at his peak tbh
This is ridiculously interesting! I'm so hooked! :D
I'd like to point out a few mistakes made here.
If you've looked into naughty dog as a company you'd know their feminist agenda is crystal clear and that all the cards stack up, that's why you cannot trust the Nadine fights since Nathan was clearly nerfed, he legit started swinging like an old man with a broken back which he never does, but even then Nate is shown countering kicks and pretty much all of Nadine's attacks throught the games something I think you should of analyzed a bit more but here's a great video showcasing exactly that. th-cam.com/video/ThQYRBDnf_c/w-d-xo.html
Nathan has pinned Rafe to to the wall and could of killed him right there and then but because Drake doesn't kill in cold blood he, wanted all three of them to escape until Rafe took advantage of it and Nathan was forced to kill him to save himself and his brother, I'm not saying Nathan is a good fencer but I am saying he technically won because of his amazing dodging ability and his lightning speed reflexes.
At the end of the Talbot fight you can clearly see Nathan looked away for a good second due to the pillars falling around him wanting to get out alive whilst Talbot's main goal was to purely kill Drake and couldn't care less about life or death at the time, that's the only reason Nathan "lost" the fight, again I'm not saying he's an expert at disarming a knife but he still has his reflexes, timing and martial arts knowledge to back him up.
Otherwise great video and I cant wait to see more from you soon.
They aren't "mistakes." I've seen that video before, just because he can counter the attack, doesn't mean he can counter everyone who ever delivers that attack. Also, he's much older and more inexperienced when he fights Nadine. Granted UC2 Nate could have fared much better and not taken as many hits, but at the end of the day, he was never formally trained. Training is what elevates you from really good to excellent. And sure, you can argue there was a certain amount of emotional decisions involved in certain fights, but we're here to critique and analyze the outcomes, not what might have been going on in his head at the time.
Great video and also amazingly smooth transition into the ad read! Can't wait for more videos!
Thank you Jessica! I appreciate that. Make sure to subscribe so you can be notified when the next one premieres!
please how many fighting style Batman telltalle series game?
He is on the list! Expect him sometime this year.
@@Godzillarex If the Arkham Series hasn't been analyzed yet, that'd be sick too! Arkham Asylum started the whole free flow combat in games.
@@cyanprince00 actually spiderman ps2 started that arkham just polished it
You just earned a sub,you should work for Deathbattle!
If you like Death Battle, you should see my live action fight between Solid Snake and Sam Fisher! th-cam.com/video/mXImFlpwc2w/w-d-xo.html
Good Video
Thanks!
this channels underrated 😌
Thanks man! Share one of my videos if you get the chance to help me get the word out!
JOELS FIGHTING STYLE IN THE LAST OF US
I said that!
Yet another great video, I enjoy seeing how many fighting styles I can come up with before watching your analysis. I think looking at James Bond, Ethan Hunt or Jason Borne would be interesting. Unless I've missed it I haven't seen anything of them pop up your channel.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I can't do those characters because the studios behind those films demonetize my videos, I'm sorry. But just so you know, Bourne is mostly Kali, Bond and Ethan Hunt are mostly Boxing, but Daniel Craig's version dabbles a little bit in Kali.
@@Godzillarex that's unfortunate I appreciate the info, thanks again for the great content!
I appreciate it! I highly recommend watching my Solid Snake vs Sam Fisher video if you haven't yet. I personally perform in it and also choreographed the fights! th-cam.com/video/mXImFlpwc2w/w-d-xo.html
