(PSN)TECHNOMANCER-GJ Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Please Make An Option To have Nikana unsheathed, its truly a shame that i can only see half of the skins that i have bought because there is no option to have the Nikana unsheathed.

GraveSpectre Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I can agree with this although the sheath is part oft he weapon for a very good reason as the stances are based on Iaijutsu. What's that? Well iaijutsu is the Japanese sword art/style of 'Attacking from the sheath' namely that many of it's techniques are literally to draw from the sheath. So removing the sheath is not entirely a great idea. But to have a preview that shows the sheath on hip and sword in hand so you can see the skin would be a possible Idea I think.

This is truly a fascinating part of Japanese History.... You get the impression they took this stuff way more seriously than other cultures did so much they dedicated an entire Theory and Practice for a single aspect of Duelling.... That plus it makes for great Anime Archetypes. 😛 On 2021-04-30 at 2:59 PM, GraveSpectre said: So removing the sheath is not entirely a great idea.

I suppose one thing they could do is have better detailed Sheaths and Hilts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraveSpectre Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Or a skeleton Sheath that shows the blade through it. You sorta get that with the Dax and Gemini skins.... but energy color gets in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are Japanese sword style that doesn't attack from sheath, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are, like Kendo that focuses on always having both hands on the sword. Or kenjutsu for more mixed stylings. If we're talking Kendo then i think the two handed Nikana deal more in that vein. But the standard Nikanas are very much Iaijutsu focused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)IndianChiefJeff Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Why not make alterations to the stance mods for the sake of making each stance more unique? It seems like the perfect compromise to me. Tranquil Cleave could continue to focus on Iaijutsu & Decisive Judgment could focus on Kenjutsu. Blind Justice already emphasizes the reverse grip style. To be honest, stance mod animations could use a major upgrade, maybe even more realistic mo-cap as to truly capture real world fighting stances. Enough of that floaty, spinning junk that moves you halfway across a room, I wanna throw a pommel at the enemy already! I've also played enough Soul Calibur to know that Mitsurugi's style is one of my favorites in any game, and I'd love to see that adopted into a Nikana stance.

Most of its moves are two handed except for Windless Cuts. Wouldn't it make more sense to have the Nikana un-sheathed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE the pennant so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iajutsu would be less practical for those who keep their Swords on their Backs or for those who Wield Odachi Class Weapons.... Atleast that's my theory... 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
