Actually raven if you didn't know for the second exe you graded if you used the male version the cross guard doesn't go through the throat it goes through the head.
Yep. Might be because of the character model. Slowly but surely changes too. With fem prior the blade is drawn back a bit and softly pushed into the chest. With male prior, it's like he's Wrenching it in as hard as he can, because you see the blade wobble.
@@luizfellipe3291 my friend all the science stuff I’m too dumb for will not stop me from believing that Aramusha should not be able to lift lawbringer a foot off the ground with breaking his arms
@@awesome2.0cuzilostmymain16 I said his starting exe is the fastest killing exe in the game, and you asked whether I was talking about the one that kills once you hit the button or the one that takes 10 seconds? Bro ☠ I even said the quick one
The animations are going to look a little weird depending on what gender you have selected for your character. I have the "default" male black prior selected, and the animations look pretty solid. However, I did notice during this video that the female animations looked a bit... off. I imagine this is the case with most of the For Honor characters due to the developers using the default gender for making the execution animations.
20:30 it might not be lethal right out the gate but he’s never gonna walk again. The spinal chord will have been severed right above the waist, from there down he will be permanently paralyzed. Making him unable to ever fight again even if he does survive through the battle
19:00 the bashing of the head would dig the shield further into the ground, but if you pay attention it also tilts it slightly. And the 'walk away' would be aligning for the decapitation.
10:40 And here we have another Raven Rant. Lethality: A solid 4/4, He's Pissed, he puts a bit of snark at the beginning, it goes on for a while, it's a rant that could Kill. Realism: Yeah it's definitely a warranted 4/4 rant. The topic is a severely unrealistic execution, which means a very realistic Rant. Efficiency: I'm gonna have to go with 3/4. Its High energy and keeps your attention for awhile, hits many topic points, but it eventually goes on for so long it'll have you saying 'wrap it up Raven' Cool Factor: this was a tough one, between 3/4 or 4/4, but i eventually settled on 3/4. He definetly reaches the emotion state of 'Fucking Pissed' ut but I wouldve like to see some more anger, a tad bit more energy, maybe a few desk pounds, but regardless a very solid 3/4. So yeah I rank this 'Raven Rant' a very good 14/16. Very very solid. (Great video by the way)
"Vortiger's Regards" would have been SO MUCH better if when she did the shield slam, the opponent fell onto their back -- then she could have (very menacingly) stood over the victim and brought the shield down on their throat, completely crushing and/or possibly severing the neck.
Something that the "Molo Undique Cladus" execution made me think it's that it'd be cool if the devs could implement the option to turn on or off dismeberments for a specific execution, for once that would want to make me get Shinobi above rep. 2
I feel like a good new exe for BP would be some kind of sawing with the shield. It would obviously suffer in efficiency because of the time it would take to do that, but I feel like it would be fitting for his character and also would be a more realistic kind of decapitation/dismemberment.
Use the sword to get them on their knees and bury the shield's point into their shoulder. Follow up with a finishing blow where the sword goes into the top of their head, to which she pulls out both of them at the same time.
Opinions time: Limb slicer. Actually raven, I've looked. Even that argument for the dismemberment doesn't work because I've looked through all of priors shields and didn't see blades on any of them. Spikes sure, but no blades. I don't think any of them even really have any jagged edges that could cut. Closest I can think of are Nil Per Os/Ihrinwe and both of those are iffy at best. Still, love this one. Fast and vicious. Using the shield to Crush/cut their throat is brutal. That's what I want from black prior, something Brutal but measured. Unlike Shaman's savagery because of her wild nature, I want black prior's executions to be less about savagery and more about Cruelty. I want prior to strangle someone to death or start gouging eyes out eventually. Spinebreaker. *2,000 Years Later...* my god this execution takes forever, I think it's the longest in the game. Also uninteresting. F*** this execution. Mala Ultro Adsunt. Ok there is one Detail about this one that will never not piss me off to remember. When BP first released, Doing this execution would cause a bit of blood to appear on Prior's hand and chest, which added to the Realism and made it a lot more impactful...And now it's gone. Thanks ubisoft, you damn killjoys...Still, it's a classic and I like it. Vortiger's regards. The ranking on this one is 100% fine, but I'm always gonna find it funny to see raven get mad at an Execution that's meant to be stupid, For being stupid. This is one of those Executions that is meant to make you laugh more than be serious, Like lawbringer's Horserider or Conqueror kicking a field goal with your head. It's Dumb yeah, no argument there, but that's the point. Though I would've preferred prior slamming the shield edge on their throat after knocking them on their back. You're free to not like it for being goofy, just know, that's what they were going for. Slowly but surely. Interesting fact about this one, The animation and voicework are drastically different for each variation. With fem prior, she draws the blade back slightly and then drives it in deeper. With male prior, He just wrenches it in with as much force as he can and you see the blade slightly wobble from the pressure. Fem prior also gives a growl on the startup and follows up with a villain cackle to show the sadistic glee she takes in killing her opponent, while Male prior is snarling like a rabid dog, Too focused on killing his opponent to care, it's like he's got tunnel vision, he just wants them dead, NOW. Also this is a very personal execution. So I use it when angry. You can feel the contempt prior has for his opponent. Also, the foot pin...I don't know if prior even meant to do that. You see him get a grip on their Throat before shoving the blade in, so my guess is either prior just set it down so he could grab and hold warden for the stab and set it on his foot by Accident, or it was only to temporarily pin his foot to initiate the grab, not to indefinitely keep him pinned. Guess it just depends on how you see it. Up to the hilt. With the male prior version the crossguard goes through their head, not their neck...that's pretty much all I got. I like this one. Dunno if a crossguard can stab someone in the temples though, guess if it had a pointy edge it might be doable. Malo undique Clades. I always found this one extremely Mid. And honestly I like your idea better. The edge pose at the end is the only part of this execution I dig, everything else is just about as interesting as a loaf of regular wheat bread. Vortiger's reckoning. Wait, the sword WOULDN'T impale him?! Well crap, I clearly need a physics lesson, I thought that one was accurate when I saw it...Also the punch is funny, Prior has zero regard for the the life of whoever's at the end of his sword. If you're in his way, You might as well be literal garbage to him because your life is now forfeit and Living is no longer your choice. Severe sentence. I think it's meant to be his chin resting on the shield, not his neck. But I could be wrong. Also I didn't catch the head shake until you mentioned it, It's like prior's thinking "I can't believe I have to put up with this shit..." now I wanna get it just for that. Also I'm funny about the shield in the ground too, but I guess it would depend on the shape of the bottom edge and how hard they jammed it in the ground. Which judging by the screen shake, is pretty hard. erzebet's prowess. Fast, Fluid, ruthless. I dig it. Though initially I found it boring, I've warmed up to it.
For the second execution, I think the shield stab into the ground was supposed to be like scaring the warden into making him think she was going to stab his foot since that’s what BP usually uses her shield for but it was meant to be a fake out I think
23:40 I got it, my remake of this one. first, the opponent tries punching with their right fist. The BP blocks(parries) it to her left with her shield, exposing the arm. This leads to the BP overhead slashing into the arm(does not necessarily take it clean off) doing a follow up morph into a thrust into the throat. The BP gives a quick glance of dark arrogance, maybe even respect, then rips the sword out, stopping and holding it downward facing a little behind her as she walks forward, the opponent falls dead or dying. Rating: Lethality: 4 "cuts deep into the arm or cleaves it off, and a nasty thrust into the throat" Realism: 4 "everything I described I could imitate sparring with my brother, the cut into the arm, to a quick follow up thrust in the same swing." Efficiency: 4 (3 if you're too picky with the short stare) "2 'hits' in quick succession with drama added by the glance, ended quickly." Cool Factor: 4 (opinions vary) "I did my best to make a quick, brutal, and dark execution, subjective as hell, of course." Tell me your opinions on my remake of this great, but potentially better one.
Or kick them to the ground and them shove the shield in the throat which would've been a much more realistic approach consideting it would apply the full force of the body on a target that can't move anywhere to disperse the energy
For Voritgers Regards, what if she stabbed him in the foot, put her shield on her back to protect her rear and just beat the crap out of him by punching the warden in the face. Thoughts?? I’d love it 😂
So alarius's wrath, black prior edition? I want black prior to fight dirty, Gouge out eyes and stuff. I had an idea for my own Execution that Ubisoft (or anyone else) has never taken note of.
@@LLLs4me My idea for an original execution for prior went as follows: Prior would holster their shield and deliver a heavy slash across the throat (as setup for what happens next,) causing the opponent to spin around clutching their bleeding neck, maybe stumble away, but not make it very far and collapse. Prior would then walk up behind them and grip their head with his free hand, saying "Ego Negare vos misericordia." Meaning, "I deny you mercy." Then he would tear their head off kratos style, Holding it up to inspect it, before tossing it away like a piece of trash and returning his shield to his offhand.
For Ersebet’s prowess on the cool factor, I personally would give it a 4 largely because that execution fits the combat style of the black prior who fight with a sword and kite shield and how they viciously kill their opponents. How slowly or quickly they kill their opponents does not exactly matter to me. But that’s what I think on the cool factor. ( 14:46 )
After seeing the enemy PoV for the decapitation against the top of the shield I noticed that it is pointed out towards the Warden to catch his chin. So there is some space to go by the shield without hitting. °/L
man says that Vortiger holding the sword wrong... yet there is a sword style called Mordhau where you can use the cross guard and handle like a mace, with many of The Prior's hilts usually looking very pointed they would effectively act like a war pike.
Believe it or not, there are in fact shields where the bottom is, for lack of a better term, bladed. In particular, there was the Spiked Pavise, which could absolutely be used to stab an opponent's foot if you wanted to. Granted, wether or not BP has a spiked pavise depends on which shield you have equipped at the time Edit: Also, holding a sword by the blade actually was something that was done historically. Admittedly though, it was a technique mainly used for two handed swords as a way to mitigate a sword's weakness against plated armor
Based on the percentage of BP here, they've managed to topple both Kensei and Warmonger for 3rd place. Here's the placements accordingly based on Raven's results so far. 1st - Nuxia 2nd - Warden, Peacekeeper, Tiandi 3rd - Black Prior 4th - Warmonger, Kensei 5th - Warlord 6th - Berserker 7th - Gladiator, Raider, Shaman 8th - Orochi 9th - Shinobi
Hey Raven this is just a thought, I feel like Erzebet’s prowess could be a efficiency 3. The reason I think it could be is because when BP knocks the sword out of the neck using her shield I feel like it could damage the sword, which would mean it was less efficient due to the fact that they’re damaging their own weapon. Unless you don’t grade on them possibly damaging their weapons, making this statement completely invalid.
Well since you did 1 launch heavy and 1 Harbinger heavy, why not swap between the two? If you go this route, next character should be Shugoki, Conqueror or Jiang Jun! I’d like to see JJ next personally.
As a black prior main, I completely agree that the hero fest execution is terrible, had the same thoughts essentially. I was sitting in anticipation this entire video being a BP main
never really felt very strongly about the BP exes myself, mainly because i feel like there's a lot more you can do with a kite shield than just lean a person on it or use it like a glorified boxing glove
Genuine question. I learned in college history that knights would actually use the crossguards of their weapons to fight, seeing as they had chain mail gloves they could hold the bladed end and fight with it without hurting themselves. I think I remember Raven mentioning in one of his other videos that he's a History major, so I was just curious why he thinks that wouldn't apply here, that you couldn't use your sword to defend yourself against an enemy while holding the bladed end.
You can. My issue is not that he’s using the cross guard. My issue is that the cross guard would not grip the neck well enough to flip him. And even if it did, why would you use it again when you could efficiently use the blade instead. It’s not that it isn’t possible, it’s just not as efficient in this case.
For once I have nothing to argue against I agree with nearly everything. Although I do think the 2 handed beheading excution wouldn't work for a different reason then you do. The shield has a sharp point, if you stabbed it into the ground and then slammed it deeper by beating the guy's head down onto it I think it might stay standing although I'm not sure either. I'm convinced it might work cause blackprior had to put in effert to get the shield out of the ground which tells me it was atleast imbedded into the ground. Also if the shield is still thin enough that it doesn't cover the intire neck it should be possible to cut like that, cause you can always come in at a slight angle. The probleem I have with that excution is that he cut's with the very tip of his sword with just enough space to cover the intire neck. A cut that way would be increadably weak even with that amount of power behind it. As a averages rule you should try to hit your target down to 1/3 of it's full lenght of blade away from the tip, there it should still have a lot of mass, a lot of leverages and the blade is less likely to vibrate wildly on impact. There are exeptions though with weapons like viking age sword that have round tips cause all of the mass of blade is still precent at the tip which is why those swords were such savages cutters. This isn't the case for blackpriors "basterdtsword" though and that's why I think that excution wouldn't take the head off.
I thought BP was male as everyone referred to lhim as Vortiger? Also, the edge of the shield is supposed to be edged and serrated, hence the decapitation and dismemberment kinda hard to tell as it suffers from the same issue as Wardens sword.
No, I have a 3rd outfit slot for his full Chimera set with bright silver and all-white cloth. Chimera ornament included. It looks like how prior would look if they weren't an "Unholy crusader".
Me personally I hate the “slowly but surely” execution because the way the sword clips through the opponent. The black prior doesn’t pull back far enough to actually stab so it just kind of “appears” in the opponent’s chest and it just looks off and awkward to me
Yo raven just wanna say love these types of vids and could watch hours and hours listening. But i feel like you could give out 0/4s more liberally lol, probably skews ye final scores a little
Raven, I’ve have watch all of your execution rating videos, and I can say you were grading them all equally and fair. I respect you for that but, and this is a big but and I will not lie. you have graded Voitager regard too unfairly. I see that yes it can be unrealistic and the efficiency is out the room, but the coolness factor is wear I draw the line. It should have been more that a 1/4, it should have been a 4/4 nay a 16/4. That’s right, this execution should have been the best execution in for honor and in gaming history. Sincerely, Bad Toasty Ps. I like your videos, keep it going
With Erzebet's Prowess, I wouldn't rank it that high because of the chance to damage your sword by slamming the metal capped side directly into the blade edge. Cool exec, but damaging your weapons us not a great idea
Ok dude, you should consider if it’s a “show off” execution. Like during a duel, cause those maps typically have an audience. Some executions clearly are the executioner showing off their skill and not on a battlefield. Just a thought
I appreciate the thought. But, as I’ve said before, none of these executions are exclusive to duel scenarios, so I must treat them as if they are on the battlefield as well. It is not fair to apply battlefield efficiency to some and not others.
For the second execution I'd rather say a 1/4 because she literally releases her shield in the middle of battle. Just sayin, but great video regardless!
I think you should re rate BP with the male, he is so much more buff than the female an the animations are a bit cleaner. Might bring the score up and you could average both for a much cleaner final. Some other dual gender characters are like this but BP has the biggest difference. Love your videos and streams BTW, just wished you streamed at a better time for us brits 😢
Lowkey I only watched the Vortiger's Regards part of the video, because for the longest time, the execution was so awful, so terrible, and unsatisfying to executioner, equally as much so to the executed, I desperately wanted to see his reaction to it. This is easily the worst and most senseless execution in the game.
Ah, someone else who didn't listen to the intro video. I do not take the victims armor into consideration in these videos because we cannot control what enemy the warrior fights in a battle. What if this execution was performed on a shaman? A Shinobi? A Shaolin?
@@MyDadsBeatMe...Yes...that's the point. Because the execution itself is never changing, but the enemy opponent is often uncertain, it would be unfair to grade the executions with enemy armor considered since not all characters will have the same amount of armor. This keeps the grades fair for all characters.
@RavenKnightYT based on your grading system, yes, but it's meant to be silly rather than realistic because I think we all agree that decapitating someone with a shield is impossible . I do, however see your point as to why you dislike it
Congratulations! You wrote a comment so utterly nonsensical that I actually have no idea what to say to that. I love black prior. I always have. Because I graded his executions and found some to be of poor quality you just think I don't like him? I'm sorry, are you serious?
@@RavenKnightYT I will admit that I simply reacted, for which I apologize. it felt like when I compared this video to other similar videos. you were a quite a bit harsher with black prior.
im gonna say, head chopping like that is pretty realistic. especially in the hands of a trained warrior. i feel like this guy rates based off on himself and not the strength of in game warriors. and yes a shield can pierce the neck with ease
Ok, the first execution is kinda off. Like i really dont like the spin the warden is doing. It seems so unnatural so i would give it a 3/4 in realism I mean BP is just pulling the sword out and somehow the warden does a 180?
@@dragonbornexpress5650 still looks really weird to me. And wouldn't that be way to inconsistent? You have no control over his movement and if he does not fall onto the shield the whole thing falls apart

I can already hear raven's rant about the kick
I'm totally using these videos to have executions that fit with the characters Raven makes
You and me both, Raven. I hated Vortiger's Regards so much I literally forgot that it even EXISTED.

Guess it just depends on how you see it.
Up to the hilt.

Efficiency: 4 (3 if you're too picky with the short stare) "2 'hits' in quick succession with drama added by the glance, ended quickly."
Cool Factor: 4 (opinions vary) "I did my best to make a quick, brutal, and dark execution, subjective as hell, of course."
Tell me your opinions on my remake of this great, but potentially better one.
I never understood why they chose to throw the shield at the opponent’s neck why not throw it at the body and have it impale
Because it's meant to be funny. You're supposed to laugh at how stupid it is.
Or kick them to the ground and them shove the shield in the throat which would've been a much more realistic approach consideting it would apply the full force of the body on a target that can't move anywhere to disperse the energy
For Voritgers Regards, what if she stabbed him in the foot, put her shield on her back to protect her rear and just beat the crap out of him by punching the warden in the face. Thoughts?? I’d love it 😂
Probably still would have failed at efficiency.
@@dragonbornexpress5650 yeah maybe…
So alarius's wrath, black prior edition? I want black prior to fight dirty, Gouge out eyes and stuff. I had an idea for my own Execution that Ubisoft (or anyone else) has never taken note of.
@@MementoMori7777 kinda and yes I’d also love to see some eye gauging….
… wait that sounds bad-
@@LLLs4me My idea for an original execution for prior went as follows:
Prior would holster their shield and deliver a heavy slash across the throat (as setup for what happens next,) causing the opponent to spin around clutching their bleeding neck, maybe stumble away, but not make it very far and collapse. Prior would then walk up behind them and grip their head with his free hand, saying "Ego Negare vos misericordia." Meaning, "I deny you mercy." Then he would tear their head off kratos style, Holding it up to inspect it, before tossing it away like a piece of trash and returning his shield to his offhand.
Severe Sentence reminds me of the scene from Robots.
*Slams face on shield* "OMG I as crazy as Astrea." *realizes he's still alive* "RAHHH"
Hey raven love your videos man keep up the good work is it possible to see centurions executions graded?
For Ersebet’s prowess on the cool factor, I personally would give it a 4 largely because that execution fits the combat style of the black prior who fight with a sword and kite shield and how they viciously kill their opponents. How slowly or quickly they kill their opponents does not exactly matter to me. But that’s what I think on the cool factor. ( 14:46 )
After seeing the enemy PoV for the decapitation against the top of the shield I noticed that it is pointed out towards the Warden to catch his chin. So there is some space to go by the shield without hitting. °/L
Vortiger's Regards is my favorite BP execution. I said it.
man says that Vortiger holding the sword wrong... yet there is a sword style called Mordhau where you can use the cross guard and handle like a mace, with many of The Prior's hilts usually looking very pointed they would effectively act like a war pike.
Believe it or not, there are in fact shields where the bottom is, for lack of a better term, bladed. In particular, there was the Spiked Pavise, which could absolutely be used to stab an opponent's foot if you wanted to. Granted, wether or not BP has a spiked pavise depends on which shield you have equipped at the time
Edit: Also, holding a sword by the blade actually was something that was done historically. Admittedly though, it was a technique mainly used for two handed swords as a way to mitigate a sword's weakness against plated armor
Yeah he took note of that for Warden's video, It was called Mordhau.
I can't wait for centurion in the hybrids
Based on the percentage of BP here, they've managed to topple both Kensei and Warmonger for 3rd place. Here's the placements accordingly based on Raven's results so far.
1st - Nuxia
2nd - Warden, Peacekeeper, Tiandi
3rd - Black Prior
4th - Warmonger, Kensei
5th - Warlord
6th - Berserker
7th - Gladiator, Raider, Shaman
8th - Orochi
9th - Shinobi
Hey Raven this is just a thought, I feel like Erzebet’s prowess could be a efficiency 3. The reason I think it could be is because when BP knocks the sword out of the neck using her shield I feel like it could damage the sword, which would mean it was less efficient due to the fact that they’re damaging their own weapon. Unless you don’t grade on them possibly damaging their weapons, making this statement completely invalid.
Hearing you rant is entertaining do more
idk if it's a bug or a feature but sometimes that i do "Malo Undique Clades" the opponent's head doesn't come off, dunno if that adds realism or not
BP can't help it she has to edge walk even in executions.
Hyped
Well since you did 1 launch heavy and 1 Harbinger heavy, why not swap between the two? If you go this route, next character should be Shugoki, Conqueror or Jiang Jun! I’d like to see JJ next personally.
As a black prior main, I completely agree that the hero fest execution is terrible, had the same thoughts essentially. I was sitting in anticipation this entire video being a BP main
Also bodies don’t just magically go limp. there is definitely a period of time before that happens
Wouldn’t you want to do a decapitation with the very end of ur weapon to get the most velocity?
never really felt very strongly about the BP exes myself, mainly because i feel like there's a lot more you can do with a kite shield than just lean a person on it or use it like a glorified boxing glove
Genuine question.
I learned in college history that knights would actually use the crossguards of their weapons to fight, seeing as they had chain mail gloves they could hold the bladed end and fight with it without hurting themselves. I think I remember Raven mentioning in one of his other videos that he's a History major, so I was just curious why he thinks that wouldn't apply here, that you couldn't use your sword to defend yourself against an enemy while holding the bladed end.
You can. My issue is not that he’s using the cross guard. My issue is that the cross guard would not grip the neck well enough to flip him. And even if it did, why would you use it again when you could efficiently use the blade instead. It’s not that it isn’t possible, it’s just not as efficient in this case.
@@RavenKnightYT oh okay, I understand now, that makes sense. Thank you for explaining!
My first favorite
Vortices regards is a 4 of 4 cool factor and thats not up for debate
For up to the hilt im suprized you didnt mention how she is holding the sharp part of the blade and with the yank you would cut uour fingers
For once I have nothing to argue against I agree with nearly everything. Although I do think the 2 handed beheading excution wouldn't work for a different reason then you do. The shield has a sharp point, if you stabbed it into the ground and then slammed it deeper by beating the guy's head down onto it I think it might stay standing although I'm not sure either. I'm convinced it might work cause blackprior had to put in effert to get the shield out of the ground which tells me it was atleast imbedded into the ground. Also if the shield is still thin enough that it doesn't cover the intire neck it should be possible to cut like that, cause you can always come in at a slight angle. The probleem I have with that excution is that he cut's with the very tip of his sword with just enough space to cover the intire neck. A cut that way would be increadably weak even with that amount of power behind it. As a averages rule you should try to hit your target down to 1/3 of it's full lenght of blade away from the tip, there it should still have a lot of mass, a lot of leverages and the blade is less likely to vibrate wildly on impact. There are exeptions though with weapons like viking age sword that have round tips cause all of the mass of blade is still precent at the tip which is why those swords were such savages cutters. This isn't the case for blackpriors "basterdtsword" though and that's why I think that excution wouldn't take the head off.
I thought BP was male as everyone referred to lhim as Vortiger? Also, the edge of the shield is supposed to be edged and serrated, hence the decapitation and dismemberment kinda hard to tell as it suffers from the same issue as Wardens sword.
Awesome
Is it odd to make a black prior drip without him being edgy?
No. There are 2 kinds of BP (maybe 3.) The Noble Knight, The Edgelord, and maybe a historical LARP.
Some of the best fashion I've seen is non-edgy, so no.
Not to say you can't make edgy BP drip. You can, but it's not a must.
No, I have a 3rd outfit slot for his full Chimera set with bright silver and all-white cloth. Chimera ornament included. It looks like how prior would look if they weren't an "Unholy crusader".
I hope you can do Shugo if you haven’t started already!
The bias is strong with this one.
Me personally I hate the “slowly but surely” execution because the way the sword clips through the opponent. The black prior doesn’t pull back far enough to actually stab so it just kind of “appears” in the opponent’s chest and it just looks off and awkward to me
Yse the male version. He rams it in and wrenches it around to dig it in more.
I hope he does the centurion soon I couldn’t find it
Yo raven just wanna say love these types of vids and could watch hours and hours listening. But i feel like you could give out 0/4s more liberally lol, probably skews ye final scores a little
At this point even tho it might be awful in a area he always gave a one so I don't know if it would be fair for him to give out zeros right now.
You should have given the shield throw execution a 0/16, as a bp main
Raven, I’ve have watch all of your execution rating videos, and I can say you were grading them all equally and fair. I respect you for that but, and this is a big but and I will not lie. you have graded Voitager regard too unfairly. I see that yes it can be unrealistic and the efficiency is out the room, but the coolness factor is wear I draw the line. It should have been more that a 1/4, it should have been a 4/4 nay a 16/4. That’s right, this execution should have been the best execution in for honor and in gaming history.
Sincerely, Bad Toasty
Ps. I like your videos, keep it going
With Erzebet's Prowess, I wouldn't rank it that high because of the chance to damage your sword by slamming the metal capped side directly into the blade edge. Cool exec, but damaging your weapons us not a great idea
When are making next kung fu panda video????
17:18 that's what she said
I think your game might have glitched on severe sentence cause the prior looks positioned wrong
Nice
Ok dude, you should consider if it’s a “show off” execution. Like during a duel, cause those maps typically have an audience. Some executions clearly are the executioner showing off their skill and not on a battlefield. Just a thought
I appreciate the thought. But, as I’ve said before, none of these executions are exclusive to duel scenarios, so I must treat them as if they are on the battlefield as well. It is not fair to apply battlefield efficiency to some and not others.
For the second execution I'd rather say a 1/4 because she literally releases her shield in the middle of battle. Just sayin, but great video regardless!
I think you should re rate BP with the male, he is so much more buff than the female an the animations are a bit cleaner. Might bring the score up and you could average both for a much cleaner final. Some other dual gender characters are like this but BP has the biggest difference.
Love your videos and streams BTW, just wished you streamed at a better time for us brits 😢
Can you please do aramusha
When I get done with the heavies
What’s your get for this BP?
Lawbro soon pls 😩🙏
Sorry. I’m working through the heavies first. After that, I might do Lawbringer as my first hybrid
@@RavenKnightYT Alr sounds good thanks bro
Why were you so angry about Vortigers regards...💀
I think I explained my issues with it when I got to that executions. Lol.
Lowkey I only watched the Vortiger's Regards part of the video, because for the longest time, the execution was so awful, so terrible, and unsatisfying to executioner, equally as much so to the executed, I desperately wanted to see his reaction to it. This is easily the worst and most senseless execution in the game.
Realism 4? Yeah you try slowly dragging your sword though chainmail
Ah, someone else who didn't listen to the intro video. I do not take the victims armor into consideration in these videos because we cannot control what enemy the warrior fights in a battle. What if this execution was performed on a shaman? A Shinobi? A Shaolin?
@@RavenKnightYT if it was then it works but it’s not like he uses a different cut on different characters
@@MyDadsBeatMe...Yes...that's the point. Because the execution itself is never changing, but the enemy opponent is often uncertain, it would be unfair to grade the executions with enemy armor considered since not all characters will have the same amount of armor. This keeps the grades fair for all characters.
@@RavenKnightYT but fair would be the opposite
Raven please react to lawbringer executions
I def aint the fashion police but that BP is uhhhhhhh… something
K
What do you mean? it's pretty usual for a black prior. Nothing that shocking really, it looks fine.
Vortigers regards is the best one wdym. Its meant to be goofy
I'm glad you liked it. :)
Still objectively bad.
@RavenKnightYT based on your grading system, yes, but it's meant to be silly rather than realistic because I think we all agree that decapitating someone with a shield is impossible . I do, however see your point as to why you dislike it
12:54 I cannot agree more, fuck that ex.
Do shugoki pliz
so you don't like black prior ok
Congratulations! You wrote a comment so utterly nonsensical that I actually have no idea what to say to that. I love black prior. I always have. Because I graded his executions and found some to be of poor quality you just think I don't like him? I'm sorry, are you serious?
@@RavenKnightYT I will admit that I simply reacted, for which I apologize. it felt like when I compared this video to other similar videos. you were a quite a bit harsher with black prior.
*insert offensive comment here*
im gonna say, head chopping like that is pretty realistic. especially in the hands of a trained warrior. i feel like this guy rates based off on himself and not the strength of in game warriors. and yes a shield can pierce the neck with ease
11:04 It's oddly humerous in the fact it's so unrealistic, plus the animation is a bit wonky. it really isn't their best work. lmao.
Ok, the first execution is kinda off. Like i really dont like the spin the warden is doing. It seems so unnatural so i would give it a 3/4 in realism
I mean BP is just pulling the sword out and somehow the warden does a 180?
Ain't just the sword doing that; Notice that she's pushing Warden off of the shield forward almost like a catapult.
@@dragonbornexpress5650 still looks really weird to me. And wouldn't that be way to inconsistent? You have no control over his movement and if he does not fall onto the shield the whole thing falls apart
Female prior doesn't seem as menacing
Vortigers regards is the worst execution in the game imo
Hyped for shield throw execution - one of the worst executions in the game, hard stop.
God why do you keep picking women on heroes that look better as men
I dunno. Why does it bother you?
Worst executions in the game.
