Pocket sand.

or at least kick some gravel in the eyes.

It's a useless Hollywood trope, while this is a (semi) realistic game about swordplay and fencing, so it's good that an inefficient move like "sand kicking" is not in the game (togehter with magic, fireballs, witty remarks, "family secrets" and 12kg swords that are almost impossible to lift). None of the above works in a real fight.

No, add Hadouken first!!!

But seriously, in the okinawan martial art Kobudo there is a technique called "Sunakake" which throws sand from the ground, using your weapon (stick or paddle). That's the closest thing resembling a sand attack but won't fit in this game.

Edit: A DLC with magic spells actually could be fun, lol.

How about you kick dirt in the opponents face? That was a thing in Bushido Blade.
If you did you couldn't get to the final battles because that and stuff like attacking someones back was considered a shameful display.

do you people have to turn everything into some weeb argument?

pocket sand =/= katanas.

I agree that sand kicking/pocket sand does not really fit the game. However, just for information, there is at least one historical fencing manual (Godinho, 1599) that specifically describes keeping some sand in your pocket if you expect to be assaulted or before a less-than-gentlemantly duel. Godinho also tells you to pretend begging for forgiveness and swearing by the cross of your sword and then hitting your opponent in the face with it, so... Let's just say his style was unorthodox :D

Godinho was an absolute chad

Got to respect someone that plays/fights to win :D

I would prefer it for the dev to add a instant kill button by giving every character a backup gun wich has a 1/16 chance of working.

Welcome to the world of the steam forums. You are surrounded by people who don't know a thing about what they proclaim to be arguing about.

seems like every thread i've poked my head in here has turned into a weeb argument or "that doesn't fit in the game"... there's BARELY A GAME HERE YET.
