Heroes in History: Highlander

Ойындар

[NOTE: Normally I open the video with the trailer of the hero...but for some reason, the good folks at Ubisoft decided to COPYRIGHT their trailer, and I wouldn't get monetized for showing it. Yeah...yeah, for real. What's your deal Ubi? This is literally the 3rd time I've had to try uploading it.]
The Highlander is one of my favorite heroes in For Honor and easily one of my favorite Vikings based on weapon and appearance alone. I just wish I were better at playing him. Good thing I have all of these stock images to cover up how bad I am as Highlander. XD
I hope ya'll enjoy this historical video finished WAY later than I planned, about the Highlander and his contribution to history as the Gallowglass. You might just learn something. And to all of you about to come down on me about the "accuracy of the claymore vs the sword Highlander uses" please know that I did EXHAUSTIVE research to find the truth, and the matter is still topic of debate among historians. What is known is that the word claymore translates to large or great sword, and whether or not it initially referred to the basket hilted swords of Scotland or the large long swords is still debated. What I also know is that the great sword Highlander uses IS still too long to be an average claymore, so I will agree with that.
Also, note: that orochi in the meme video? One of the biggest light spammers I've ever fought. His entire strategy revolved around hitting with a light spam and then rolling away before I could hit him. It was so painful.

    Claymore simply means great sword, so anything that can be considered a great sword is a claymore. The German zweihander and the Japanese nodachi can both be called a claymore. I'm Scottish so I would know. 🙂

    I believe you. I’m just tired of people freaking out in my comments about me “not knowing what a claymore is,” when even they don’t all agree on what it is, so I researched the name and historical usage so there could be no mistake. But, as far as I’m concerned, it’s just a big sword. :)

    Thing about claymores. A Scot would call Highlander’s sword a Claymore, anyone who isn’t a sword snob would call the highlanders sword a claymore, a Scottish sword snob would call highlanders sword a claymore. Regular sword snobs will keep their nose in the air and fingers in their ears and refuse to believe that Highlander’s sword is a claymore.

    Problem with FH claymore is not that it’s too big, this is fine. Problem is that the guard is just not the same classic looking claymore guard. What’s even more strange that you can actually make a lot more realistic looking Gallowglas sword than a claymore.

    To my understanding the actual issue, is that the sword blade is too thick and thus not as slow as in game. Definitely being big as it is, I wouldn't necessarily call it fast, but definitely not as slow as the one in the game

    The sword highlander uses is more like a bearing sword then a even a greatsword. Bearing swords are massive parade swords which were not that practical to fight with anymore because of there massive size and weight. They bassicly took the form of a long or greatsword of the time and scalled it up and decorated it heavely to make it look pretty and impressive. They could way close to 10 kilo's. Apperently they also were used by bodyguards just look up bearing swords you find what I mean.

    Sorry you felt that way. Question though, how do you refer to America? Do you say 'The United States of America,' or just 'America?' Because you could be refering to two different continents when you say that. There's South America, and North America, and if you want to get even more technical, you could say 'Central America' as well. People use some terms interchangably mistakenly. Just like you mispelled Britain as Brittan up there. But that's okay, we all know what the other means...settle down.
