That is how certain historical militaries managed to turn out so successful. The reason Napoleon managed to conquer so much of Europe so easily is because his strategies weren't expected by his enemies at all. They expected traditional warfare, but he combatted them with his own obscure strategies which caught them off guard, resulting in insanely successful campaigns. The same happened in WW2. The German military used Blitzkrieg strategies which were, just like with Napoleon's case, so unexpected by their enemies that they managed to conquer Europe using them in less than 3 years. The sheer speed of the tanks and aircraft rushing toward the enemy lines were irrestistable as the enemy armies were prepared for trench warfare, which is designed for long wars of attrition, which the Second World War was the opposite of.
@@FilipFCB hmmm, while I agree the skilled and unexpected strategies he and his army could implement played an important role in his victories, I would say with Napoleon a lot of it had to do more with the effectiveness of his military bureaucracy and his logistical superiority, and the general superior training and professionalism of his army. I suppose they also support each other, since with a better organized army with better trained and superior officers it's easier to implement sudden changes in strategy and tactics.
@@FilipFCB hm i think that for both of those examples although the surprise helped, they were simply superior strategies too. unlike this which is only good because its not expected, if ppl were aware of it it would be trivial to stop (resource pack can be gotten very easily) whereas in ur examples its also not easy to stop even once ur aware.
I remember those handbooks! Unfortunately it’s highly outdated so following it in later versions is not the best idea, but at least it worked out for you in the end
Absolutely brilliant. I knew you could use fishing rods to trap people, killing them with fall damage. However using them for grapple pvp is revolutionary. Fishing rods are definitely making a come back after this vid.
The fishing rod, er, 'pull-backs'? (idk what they're called) were actually so cool, I never knew fishing rods were that OP. Not only does it counter ender pearls, it half-blinds the enemy. Great video!
Legit the handbooks taught me one of the most useful tips I've ever used. Putting torches on the left walls of caves will allow you to find your way back out by keeping them to your right. If the wall torches are to your right, you’re going the right way.
Fishing rods used to be the meta, pre-1.9, and you would just spam them and launch people backward, but everyone just instantly gave up on them after 1.9, but they are still really OP
Bro I love the editing and pacing of the vid. You tell us the main goal but also keep in interesting parts that connect you back to the goal of the vid. 👏👏
Y'know the fishing rod is like a super underrated item in minecraft. It low key carries a lot of value and players don't seem to understand that, and that has clearly been shown in this video where the combat utility is put to it's full potential.

Own a diamond sword for home defense, since that's what Mojang intended. Four players break into my base. "What the devil?" As I equip my enchanted armor and blade. Stab a villager's nose wide hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my crossbow on the second man, miss him entirely because it's laggy and nails my teammate's wolf. I have to resort to the dispenser mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with arrows, "Tally ho lads" the arrows shred two men, the sound and extra arrows set off cow moos. Equip my trident and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since trident shaped wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as Mojang intended.

9:20 Sapient gamer cat discovers "lost" pvp technique Edit: Sidenote, the pvp combat handbook does have a few good tips. One of the first things that really started me on getting better at pvp was... well, fighting mobs. Also, mushroom stews are the cheapest way to get potion effects, so like... yeah. Not a bad idea in a pinch. Having a second set of armor would help a lot, as we can see in the fight. He lost a helmet, it was pretty much game over there. The fishing rod is a very valid technique, especially against floaty mobs, but also against players trying to escape. There's several useful tips there, but it takes a sharp mind to read into it enough to learn.
I cannot believe the fishing rod slipped out of PVP since I stopped playing- it used to be a common tactic years ago and judging by this video, there was literally no reason for people to stop using it. How such a great tactic slipped away I don't have a clue but seeing it is nostalgic as hell for me.
don't forget to mention the Official guide to Potions and Enchants, which, while being one of the better mojang guides, recommends *Smite* on an axe for pvp
When you were stuck in the void, you could have trown an ender pearl in a way that it would go as far as possible, if an ender pearl goes into the void you do not teleport, and you had 14 ender pearls, you could have teleported on the end islands, collected some blocks, maybe also an elytra
