Check out Assassin's Creed Valhalla, available November 10th here ► ubi.li/V6Oii
I am super excited for Assassin's Creed Valhalla. This brand new world looks AMAZING! Plus, the footage shows so many cool weapons and abilities. In fact, one that caught my eye is the dual wielding. You are able to dual wield a wide variety of weapons. So many in fact, that I want to know what the STRONGEST way to fight would be. What do you use? Theorists, pick up your weapons of choice and get ready for a battle to the best combo!

I sense a disturbance in the force. . . or medieval TH-cam community, and a reply video on the horizon.
Yes, Shad, please do!
I’ll be watching for the upload notification!
im waiting shad
Hi Shad.
I look forward to it.
oooh yeah please Shad!
My first thought: are you SURE you want to tackle medievel fighting styles again?
My second thought: Ah yes Shadiversiry has already replied here. Yep yep this is going to be for honor all over again isn't it.
The For Honor theory wasn't that great :/ I still think this theory is better than that one :)
@@BrotherTheory You sure about that? I haven't even watched Shad's video yet and I already have major issues with a bunch of what he' said. The very first point he asserts is that you can't be offensive with more than one weapon at a time when dual wielding which is just factually wrong.
the worst part about it is that people actually like these videos
@@pezdispencer113 You can double but it is, that you canˋt put your body into the attack, which normally is your main strikeforce.
@Aaron Wells offensive yes but anyone who read his comment you can still be defensive with a heavier item like say a shield. Just making sure they know
*eats popcorn as the hema Community goes to war*
Save me a seat next time. I saw this video and all I could here is dark souls music
mattpatt: look at this, i'm going to make every medieval expert in the youtube comunity defend dual weilding against their own will.

Well yeah, ignorance should be called out.
respectfully I must add.
l hope they mention the dual heavy weapons
@@s.i.m.p9237 How the hell do you dual wield those.
"Today's theory is to ask the question, is dual wielding shields viable?"
"So in conclusion, yes, arrows can decapitate people."
True :) This theory wasn't focused on the dual wielding of shields :)
Reminds me of most Vsauce videos lmao

Definitely an assassin weapon...
this comment suits ur name so very perfectly
I think I know what video ur talkin about
No, Matpat is right. Just cause you CAN dual wield, it doesn't mean you SHOULD.
HOWEVER, HE WAS WRONG HERE!
(BTW you are wrong. Dual wield one hand shotty gun and one hand machine gun, THAT IS PROPER)
I may definitely have to see this video

The Templar’s don’t exist yet in eivor’s time. They’re the order of the ancients.
tbf AC kinda forgot it's own lore for a while
I would not say the Hidden Ones more like an early version of templars
Yes, they began as cultists but were killed mostly by Alexios/Kassandra but him/her stopped being told that letting the cultist leader will actually led to the Cultists randomly attacking again and how She saw that in Egypt the Assassins will form, so they hid to egypt where the cult associated with egyptians to the point of the culture becoming Egyptian and renamed themselfs as Order of the Ancients, and plan to find another artifact there since the one in Greece was destroyed but like sayd, Bayak and his wife start the Assassin order in egypt and rome after themself being hybrids, were able to track the cultists after they revealed themselfs by killing Bayaks son, then the order spread, i didnt play or spoil Valhala yet so il say the Ancients spread and during the HOLY times, renamed themselfs Templars
@President GlowSquid The order of the ancients existed even before Alexios and Kassandra were even born, and the order of ancients had ties with the cult of kosmos so they weren’t the same thing. Also the order of ancients was created in Egypt it didn’t go there after Alexios and Kassandra’s time. Finally the order was created to worship the isu as gods and when King Aelfred of England was made head of the order of ancients he actively tried to have it destroyed so he could make a Christian order. His idea of a Christian order eventually became the Templar knights, so the order of ancients didn’t rename themselves it was completely torn apart and replaced.
Matpat proceeds to not research again.
History community: So, you've chosen death.
Nice meme joke, Knight of Heresy :) I love it.

@@jessecollins3652 Funny enough Shad has a video where he stomps on an edition of Dnd because it has mislead many people, at least when it comes to sword terminology.

i love when matt patt does this kind of episodes, he gives us metatron, shadiversity and in some cases even skallagrim responses on his mistakes
I couldn't agree you more, The Baby Seal Studios :)
What's funny too is skallagrim did a few vids on the shield in the thumbnail awhile ago lol
MatPat should know when to shut up about these things. He's embarrassing himself.
@@foolslayer9416 From the entertaining perspective MatPat can make theories of everything he wants. However, when the theory touch some historical facts, MatPat should request advice with creators more versed than him. Otherwise the theory falls down. MatPat is not humble enough for that.
All investigations need a conceptual framework that supports the theory. Without that the result is just nonsensical conjecture.
Yeah well I mean they are Mele weapon experts or history weapon experts. So you would expect mat Pat to make a few mistakes.
The line of Steven A. "I've never seen someone so confidently incorrect.
" should become the motto of this channel.
Tell me about it. But then again, this is the guy that said Mario was a Marxist and engaged in blatant customer blaming as the reason games are going downhill.
This is like the Verge How to build a PC, but with medieval weapons.

I think he’s overcompensating for forgetting shields existed in his for honor video
Remember the for honor episode? He has lost the right to talk about shields Lol
being wrong about something doesn't mean you can never talk about a similar subject. He made some historically inaccurate claims in both videos, but he was correct about some things as well. I think he should keep making attempts. That's the only way to get better.
@@devonterushdan3258 first off, I was just teasing god dang man calm down. Next, dude the guy straight up forgot about everything in that vid, he was the kid who watched a samurai movie and then thought they were the best and everybody else sucked
@@light2528 Nah man that didn't sound like teasing, but if you say so then sure it was just teasing. I also have no clue what that kid-watching-a-samurai-movie analogy is about; that either went completely over my head or didn't make any sense. MatPat makes a lot of scientifically based content, and with those, he is incredibly accurate. He dropped the ball in the For Honor video for sure, but the For Honor video was historically based and it doesn't mean he shouldn't ever make historically based content again. I also have no clue what you mean when you say he straight up forgot about everything in that vid. . . he was wrong. . . are you saying that he should remember that he was wrong about stuff and not make videos about history?

Remember when MatPat didn’t know how shields worked and called the wrong winner in the Samurai vs Knights vs Vikings episode?
Yeah. I didn't like it. It wasn't fair. The knight could have won since he should have a shield. The viking was fair. The samurai was overestimated.
@@Marxus_Lenin MatPat was far too easily influenced by his trip to Japan around that time it seems lol
Viking could be at a disadvantage if skill is completely taken out of the picture but not for the reasons named in the video. That was a mess
@@Marxus_Lenin The viking wasn't fair at all. He did everything wrong on them
What annoys me more is he will basically hide like a coward and wait for it to go away...he NEVER addresses the fact any of his 'historical' theories are 99% utter bullcrap and then whine about it months later.
Just a note: During editing when you where talking about the 2 swords technique, the eyes looked towards the one used for defending when you said attacking and vice versa. Just a small editing error.
Matpat we are revoking your shield talking privileges.
Oh god, another Viking game theory

Matt, based on last time you did a video on this subject I was gathering wood for the burning, but you surprised me this time. You made some valid points and actually referenced some historical sources. You still had some bizarre takes but that's too be expected for someone who doesn't study this stuff. Overall keep it up, you've made some substantial improvements.

Crescent arrows were used during the same time as the Valhalla game and throughout history and all across the world. Modern day hunters use them for turkey hunting. But there is a lot of questions on how they were used because they're also found on Indian anti-elephant arrows.

“When you make a choice between a Sword or a Shield. *Take the Shield!* ” - Gobber the Belch
i was thinking of this!!!!
Naofumi would disagree with this.
Facts
Well the round shield was actually thinner towards the edges too catch blades easier but I respect your facts ofc
That was exactly what played in my head
Dual wielding is silly.
But shields ARE weapons. Just defensive ones.
Edge-strikes are a simple and effective offensive way to use a shield. Edges were often reinforced, and have a thin point of contact. "punching" with a shield is effective.
Now, the bigger the shield, the LESS usable it becomes for edge-striking. But it was CERTAINLY a thing.

Technically Captain America used dual shields in infinity wars when he went to Wakanda.
1:18 matpat: "Odin is with us"
I love how that sounds
Same :) His voice is amazing :)
Seeing this video after the abomination that was his 'for honor' video:
*HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN?!*
I don’t remember that, what was wrong with it
@@S0L3SURV1V0R the For Honor video about who would win between a Viking, a Knight and a Samurai was filled to the brim with utter factual nonsense to the point that the entire medieval history side of youtube made reply videos about it. That also explains the downvotes.
This video isnt as bad, but already has quite a few errors with reply videos incoming. Mat Pad is fun, but history REALLY isnt his thing.
@@S0L3SURV1V0R He said Vikings wore no armor, and made a few references to berserkers as examples of how Vikings fought. Also said the samurai would just put an arrow through the knight before he got close, which is silly, because the knights in game wear full plate, making single arrows essentially nothing unless it some how gets into a kink in their armor, which is unlikely, even from a very close range. If you want a full breakdown of how bad the video was, just search Metatron Game Theory response, or Shadiversity Game Theory response, or Skalgrim game theory response. They all break it down pretty easily and point out the inaccuracies and all literally end up saying that it is a silly comparison in the first place, especially considering that Vikings were a lot earlier when compared to both of them.
He needs to check out Shadiversity
@@S0L3SURV1V0R everything
Anyone else like how there is an actual gladiator in for honor and mat still used the centurion
I'm astonished I didn't get the notification of this around 4 days earlier! Anyway, time to watch the rest of this video.
I’m genuinely curious as to what the “unique benefits” to Japanese armor are. MatPat said the something similar in the For Honor video too, and I was just as confused then as I am now.
To allow greater movement without impeding the defensive capabilities of said armour
@@CreativeWM_Personal you mean like European plate?
@@CreativeWM_Personal That’s magic fantasy Japanese armor.
@@CreativeWM_Personal You would be good at Game Theory. That's a misconception perpetuated by various types of média, but mostly by games because of game balancing reasons.
Keith Jones Samurai armor is heavier and harder to move in than Knight armor.
"Is there any world in existence where dual wielding shields would make sense?"
Yes there is, Dark Souls 3 and THE DOORS
Also THE WALL from that old DS1 video.
And dark souls 2
In the undead crypt
Sellwsord Luet from DS2 has proven that shield are afective weapon
Its called real life
“Eivor is the strongest assassin by far!” One problem, HE IS NOT A ASSASSIN
Mans shouted out the GOAT CXK
Everyone is talking about duel-wielding blades and shields but I want dual hidden blades again
@ Zombie Man Hey this guy gets it
did not play this game yet but as i understand altair is the one that created dual hidden blades. This one before altair's era
@@sashimisusumi7139 yeah hidden blades weren’t around until after Altaïr but I want a game after that so we can have them
That will come the next time we have a game set after AC1. To do so in a game before then would spit in the face of Altaïr’s Codex, which is basically the Sacred Jedi Texts of this universe.
@@jcers Yeah, I really do miss the more "recent" periods of history.
Imagine setting it in any part of the Mongol Empire, whether its the Golden Horde on the Russian front, the Ilkhanate with the Islamic world or even Mongol China proper on the conflicts between the Yuan and the remaining Song (though that might be a bit touchy, it could either make China angry or become a propaganda piece for China...) .
With how massive the empire was, one could set several games in that area.
Appeal/Sales-wise, however, would be quite niche...
*sigh*
Also, HRE, the Protestant Reformation, 30 years war, etc., all perfect for an Assassins vs Templar plot.
Matt: "Dual weilding the same weapon is useless"
Me: *Laughs in Double Shotgun*
Me: *Laughs in Blades of Chaos*
*Me: Laughs in Captain America's Wakandian shields :)*
Laugh in Aikimbo FMG-9 pre-patch MW3
Laughs in Star Platinum double fists

“Eivor is unquestionably the strongest Assassin we’ve seen in this series yet!”
Kassandra: (loud, hysterical laughter)
Hiccup from HTTYD: “Aside from the dragon, yeah my shield is my best weapon.”
HTTYD is underrated mr friend.
*coughs in flaming sword
@@matthewmatthew981 Well yeah but I mean the shield protects him and serves as a frickin crossbow
