Real question, how come that freaky incel Merlin could make a guy into medieval RoboCop, but he couldn't figure out gunpowder?
Did the Valyrians figure out gunpowder?
His entire reason for the duel was to force Gregor to publicly admit to his crimes so his family could use that as a means to break with the 7 kingdoms or something. He should have used a paralyzing poison, a lot of it, and once it took hold he could have stood in that arena and cut on Gregor until he got what he wanted and still lived.
He had won the fight. He would've won the battle too had he stood several feet more away from his opponent or just finished him off instead of grandstanding.
Why is he even allowed to use a poison spear?
A more effective poison would only take a single cut to kill someone instantly
Can you bring anything into the trial? Like a cannon or wildfire?

LCK is always meta. The only time you spend points elsewhere is because there's a point requirement for a weapon or something else.

Try making a 10 Luck character in Fallout bros. It is insanely powerful, especially New Vegas. Fun way to play the game.

Depends on the game. In a lot of rpgs it's a generic "affects many things" stat which often means adding +.001% critical hit/chance to poison/drop common loot that ends up inferior to "hit it harder".
this movie worked me as a kid
i got so pissed that the upstart brat kept beating everyone just because of a sword that she stole
10/10 heel work, give her the strap and a 10k year reign
It is a problem in wuxia, the floatiness and some of the blows lacking impact. Like in that webm when the evil b***h student strikes with the flat of the sword gently it sends her staggering back, but in other cases they'll be beating the shit out of each other and just do that weird body tourettes reaction and go right back into it. Overall I like the aesthetic, it's not meant to be realistic at all anyway. But yeah Hero was too much. That I agree. The movie I always have had a big soft spot for is Iron Monkey though.
I’m 6’3” tall, 320 lbs and do HEMA. I can confirm that being as large as someone like me really doesn’t give you a huge advantage in armed melée. What you gain in strength and reach you lose in speed.
Yeah. They might have greater endurance because they don't have as much weight to carry around, but without much muscle, they can't cook up powerful bursts of speed or power. Marathon runners, conversely, are always skeletons because they're built to run all day long
Muscle = better acceleration, more explosive speed, higher energy requirement to keep going.
Hence runners becoming lankier as the distance increases. It's also why MMA fighters are usually lean and taut rather than ultra jacked, because otherwise they just gas out.
In a fight with weapons, speed and accuracy wins over brute strength. No matter how roided you are, a spear to the eye will kill you regardless. Now that we have guns, this is even more true.
Gregor Clegane isn't known for his skills in fighting, he's known for being bigger and stronger and clad in thicker armor than anyone he ever fought against. Also, he's literally below average intelligence and drunk 24/7 because he suffers from headaches.
>and clad in thicker armor than anyone he ever fought against.
Not only plate so thick that no other living man can walk in it, but he'd also carry a frickhueg slab of a shield in his offhand to tank any warhammer blows from the few foes that manage to get within reach of him. And even then he was mainly used to mow down scared peasants on the battlefield.
as a fantasy fan who always roots for underdogs and wronged heroes this fight had my heart soaring for Oberyn getting his opportunity to rectify the wrongs committed against his family then when in the most righteous moment GRRM throws a stick in my spokes, god im glad hes never gonna finish his garbage series
He would have won if his poison worked faster. Ironic.
He wanted him to suffer and be alive the whole time. His mistake was obviously getting within arms reach of him.
He also would have won if he has a gun, but he didn't.

wouldn't you not be able to talk if the poison paralyzed you
He had won the fight. He would've won the battle too had he stood several feet more away from his opponent or just finished him off instead of grandstanding.
>using poison in a duel
You didn't win the fight.
That's not ironic.
Yes it is, OP is deliberately ragging on dex > str memes but if the poison had more dex he would have won.
He’s a big guy

he imagine hewasn't. they didn't know he was poisoned until after, but it was kind of too late to disqualify him since he lost
The Mad King used fire as his champion.
Why didn't Eddard's dad pick water as his champion?
>Spear-gay vs STR-gay
Its funny seeing how a fight between the two most obnoxious of medieval combat larpers would play out.

Spear has a higher skill ceiling than sword.
historically women couldn't lift swords cause they are too heavy for their weak wrists.
>historically women are much more boring and lame so i want my movie women to be boring and lame too
why is this such a common trope on /tvpol/?
Because Cinemaphile is a /misc/ colony and you’ll die mad about it.
I'd like to penetrate her with my spear, haha

For me, it's the stick.
Your post is wrong but the video you posted is cool
Historically women didn’t drive because, prior to the mass availability of power steering in the 60s, driving was too difficult for their wrists
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was pure KINO
It's too floaty for me
Not as bad as Hero, but still too much gliding around.

He did win but lost his life for the W
A shame Devon was so old and out of shape when they fought. 30 year old Devon might've won that fight.
You know it's not real, right?

You're fat as frick is what you are.
Either that or he’s like a worlds strongest man competitor. I’m 6”2” 205 and I’m in really good shape.
Isn't the idea that being skinny makes you faster that you always see movies total bullshit anyway? The fastest men in the world are jacked.

I mean he did win the fight, if he hadn't tried to antagonize a confession out of him and just stood back and let him choke he'd have been fine
he was winning but he had to go into muh sister autism
Hubris is punished. I guess the "Davids" of this scenario are always arrogant in fiction.
The world of ASOIAF is not just. Characters don't get punished for having negative qualities.
Lamest character, le sneaky snek guy
He would have won if he wasn't a moron, so I don't get what's your point.
>He would have won if he hadn't lost
I'm not engaging more in your bait thread, kys.
his loose butthole fricked up his aerodynamic moves
the whole fight is horseshit. Even with a spear Gregor still outranges Oberyn.
Gregor fights like a moron. Just massive wild swings that leave him off balance every time.

gregor is an excellent jouster who beat everyone in ned's tourney except Loras, who cheated. He has at least some skills.
I never quite caught that in the scene, how did Loras cheat?
he used a mare in heat to distract Gregor's stallion.
Gregor pole is five inches away from the enemy when the jousts starts. He's a cheater.

>I will win because my weed is superior
He would have won if he didn't relaxed at the end and would have finished him.
He ran the risk of all speed builds, he's a glass cannon that took a shitshattering blow
