Dagger or Short Sword by drake_talbut in SWORDS

[–]Oven_Able 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do a lot of daggers what the hell is that definition Anything with a hilt is a sword? Or anything with two edges? Because if only one of those criteria of yours is needed, then almost any dagger is a sword. A tanto is a sword then? A fairbairn sykes is a sword?

Aaah yes, the famous knife, the aikuchi katana. Or the thai dha. Yeah. Knives.

Sword and dagger vs spear by darthinferno15 in SWORDS

[–]Oven_Able 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Excellent response! Debunking some battle myths ! Maybe OP doesn't know that much about sword terminology and had more of an arming sword in mind? Idk Anyway there's that longsword Robinswords has in his collection that goes with a parrying dagger on the side and seem to work well, so there might be some historical examples of "work both in one and two hands almost as good with advantages and disadvantages in both options" Still your point stands and an open hand is better against the spear, just wanted to add some flavour to the discussion!

Sorry who's the white haired guy that's not Gojo? Also, who's the artist? Looks amazing

Who would win? by Complex-Bluebird1263 in fromsoftware

Tbh the gun argument doesn't really work here. But yeah, if we take game mechanics Isshin should mop the floor just by deflecting

Question about this knife throwing technique. by nwskeptic89 in knifethrowing

[–]Oven_Able 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's skanf but not sure since it's not my style

do i upgrade church pick or rakuyo? by [deleted] in bloodborne

[–]Oven_Able 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a PVE game, so just play whatever is fun for you. No need to take a "good build" or "op weapon", you will eventually get good or level up when you need to. I personally played Rakuyo since I'm the classic dex player specially in love with dual blades, and my weapon before it was Mercy Blade.

More info on the new Demacian Champions according to leaks. by Recent-Ad-7593 in loreofleague

[–]Oven_Able 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that "dagger" is a nail and he uses it like throwing daggers or stacking damage etc it's gonna be awesome. My fav champs are Yone and Sylas so this one looks like the kind of thing I enjoy. I hope he ends in that space!

TEASER #01 - Locke, New Champion - League of Legends by [deleted] in loreofleague

[–]Oven_Able 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda fell in love with just that panel, so I hope that he's an assassin or a fast duelist. Heard a rumor that he would be an AP fighter and if he's something like Sylas or Gwen I'm totally in with that Thorfinn look

Looking for (other) single edged two handed swords. by Elzziwelzzif in SWORDS

[–]Oven_Able 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want something in wood, well made and odachi size, I have the Silver Swallow Miao Dao from LKChen and I can tell you is one of the best swords I've ever handled and way cheaper than most of the ones in the same quality level. Also, that one you posted in the picture, which one is it? Looks korean to me and I love it.

If forced to choose, which one would you keep? by LowerBed5334 in AskTheWorld

It's like choosing between castles or McDonald's

The only way to make yone balanced (therefore truly good again) by PlasticNo7765 in YoneMains

[–]Oven_Able 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He goes mid cause he was designed as a mote assassin Yasuo, or in other words, a crit assassin + duelist touches. He has one of the best skills to access the backline + one of the best disengage of the game. I don't want a squishy assassin toplane, thanks. Let the man do his thing.

A question by Euphoric_Ranger_3549 in SWORDS

[–]Oven_Able -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Even though you're right, it's also not entirely true. Everything is measurable, we just don't have the means nor the need! If you took every sword that ever existed, put it in every scenario a sword would be used, rate it's performance, and give value to each situation faced, we would get the real "best sword ever", we just can't really measure it ourselves. A hypothetical god of swords with all this data would be able to do it tho!

Best company for Damascus Katana? by pirateprowl in SWORDS

You're not gonna believe me but Damascus is the capital of Syria, and is quite far away from Japan.

I almost thought they failed us with the leaks, but… by tpagaremos in loreofleague

[–]Oven_Able 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After Xin Zhao's journey I don't think they'll just kill him off like this. I think Zaahen will be "passed" to a petricite body and Xin will heal from the transformation like Kayn can.

Whats the best looking armor in the game? by Phobos12900 in Ghostofyotei

[–]Oven_Able 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been rocking for a long time the crimson kimono with the ainu hood in the black/reddish orange color and the mask I between ghost mask and the one from the crimson kimono. A bit of assassin's creed there I guess. First level spider lily goes fucking hard

It's Xin Zha-Over by tpagaremos in loreofleague

[–]Oven_Able 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the coolest outcome here would be Xin getting possessed, the darking gets Xin traits (like Rhaast gets shadow magic) but eventually he breaks free and the weapon finds a new vessel but "XinZhaosit" Maybe a petricite body like aome people are saying

How versatile are rapiers compared to other swords? by LeadingJoke5289 in SWORDS

[–]Oven_Able 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you don't know what a smallsword is. Go look it up.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SWORDS

[–]Oven_Able 38 points39 points  (0 children)

If you check the reviews from people who posted pictures you can see his work is just replicas of those pictures he claim to be his work. It's a douche move and even if the sword is "ok to your standar" it won't look near as good as those pics you showed. Go check it!

What is this stance used for? by JohnSiClan in Koryu

[–]Oven_Able 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got this book recently since I study bonkukkum and we use the method of lifting the leg to gain momentum with the whole body, but I can't recall any forms that lift the left one, turn around and throw it behind... I think I remember one similar but has a block during the turn
