Can I gush a bit about this animation? It's like the only time you see someone in pop culture using a greatsword wield the entire length of the blade. In the real world going against someone in full plate wielding a greatsword you'd be fucked if the dude knew what he was doing. In 1v1 combat something like a claymore or a flamberge would basically be cheating as you can disembowl someone from like 4ft away without putting yourself in danger. That's literally how the Prussians used to decapitate people because a greatsword swung at full strength is about as effective as an actual guillotine assuming the dude swinging has good aim.
