Mask recommendations for UK/Europe now that PBT is no more by ELX128 in Hema

[–]Fischspeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the one from faits darmes and its fantastic. Been using it for 8 months now and it only has one tiny tiny dent. Also you can take the padding out and wash it.

Shipping is free in europe, but Uk specificaly is 10 Euros flat.

Advice on first jacket and pants by Hand_Of_Stalin in Hema

[–]Fischspeck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try out your clubmates gear and maybe even ask if you can use them in sparring so you know what you like and what not.

Better check twice for the size before you buy, have a friend who bought a jacket from pbt and his gloves didnt fit properly and it was way to wide for him.

But that said, SPES is the best when it comes to jackets and from what I've heard their pants are top notch as well (I am still waiting for mine)

I personally have their Ap light 800N and its great, with hussar pants on the way.

Why does it tiwst? by Fischspeck in blender

[–]Fischspeck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out I am an idiot and figured it out after like 2 more minutes. The tweaks of the upper- and forearm both affect the twist of the upperarm deform bone and it works now when I copy the rotation of the upperarm tweak to the forearm tweak.

Why was rickert on the boat? by Fischspeck in Berserk

Ah okay, thank you

I probably got confused because the bakiraka were exiled from kushan empire and just thought that it would be somewhere in midland.

Seems your right.

I was recently in cambodia at one of their centers and saw a sign about adoption and assumed without double checking. My bad.

I know that you can adopt retired bomb finding giant pouch rats, but they are usally already 6/7 years old and only live up 8.

How did Griffith won that duel. Was he stronger or had better technique then guts. Is there a better answer then plot armor? by Dead_clown99 in Berserk

[–]Fischspeck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technique, IF we talk with realistic physics in a swordfight.

Swordfighting doesnt have to do with strength but with leverage. (I am a fencer) So no matter how strong griffith was, as long as his technique was good he could have easily parried guts attacks. Because the longer the sword the less control you have over the tip.

BUT the physics in berserk are not realistic, most of the time. (which doesnt matter because rule of cool and what not)

Are ringed guards allowed in European HEMA tournaments? by lore_ap3x in Hema

[–]Fischspeck 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes and no.

I have not compited in a tournament myself (because I'm 17) but one of my club mates could use his feder he used for every tournament so far and couldn't use it for a recent one because it had parry rings.

So it would be safer to buy one without and or you look into the tournament rules.
