How much did the Buster Sword weigh...

Isn't that the whole point? Nowadays, Cloud defies gravity and physics all the time, jumping around like he's on the moon and shit.

it is magic dummy

Ever heard of self insertion? People (mostly unfit male vidya gamers) like to see a cool, yet ordinary character perform amazing feats like wielding a buster sword. In this particular case, ordinary would be someone of an average-skinny build like cloud. It fulfills a fantasy. I made a reference to kingdom hearts that also does this. None of the powerful characters are seen to be jacked. An overly muscular character is intimidating to the skinny gamer. There are plenty of exceptions, but it is consistent

It was a video game.

A big sword doesn't do more damage. You're better off with a properly sized sword.

Manlets actually have mechanical advantage in lifting tho.

That's simply not correct.

The body gets good at what it does. If you swing a big sword the body will get good at swinging a big sword, and develop sufficient strength to do that, but it doesn't continue getting stronger once it's strong enough.

Weightlifters and bodybuilders are the strongest that humans can get. There is no "practical" method that gets you stronger.

Wrong. Efficiency is using something that is just barely sufficient.

Power isn't a real thing.
>Reach
Yes, but negligible. A proper sword vs a moderately large sword is a meaningless difference in reach, and a stupidly large sword is unwieldable so it doesn't matter.
>Majesty
I think they just look silly.

Majesty is an anachronistic practical implement made with exceptional craftsmanship to perform its task at the absolute pinnacle, and then tastefully decorated without sacrificing too much function. Pic related. This is majestic. A 155mm howitzer is not majestic, although it's certainly bigger.

The issue isn't strength man, its leverage. The problem with a sword of that side is that its weight would unbalance the wielder due to its proportional weight to you.

You could be able to lift a million pounds, but if the weight wasn't properly anchored by the wielder you'd have issues handling a heavy weight without falling forward/off balance.

Over half a pound of balls.

Which is why bodybuilders and especially weightlifters don't do nothing but machine workouts.

Even so, someone who does a terribly designed machine workout and no functional training will still be stronger than some untrained slob posting on 4chins about muh practical strength.

There is nothing magic or secret about strength training. Strength is a function of the area of the cross section of the muscle, which is why thicker muscles are stronger muscles, combined with muscular recruitment by the nervous system (which is why you can still get stronger while you're fasting - even though you're not building muscle, your body is getting better at recruiting the muscles that you have). Even somebody who has never done a particular strength task before will benefit from totally dissimilar strength training because their strength is not dependent on their familiarity with the specific task, but on these aforementioned factors.

Consequent to this, once your body is strong enough to do the tasks it is repeatedly doing, it stops getting stronger. Your body is efficient like that.

Efficiency literally means the least effort for the job - i.e. just barely sufficient.

Power is a meme. It all depends on the exact specifics of the wound you inflict. Swords of Power X don't inflict Wound Y. There is no such thing as power - just ease of use when it comes to inflicting the type of wound you desire.

this is what a real sword looks like actually faggot.

Not necessarily.

A lance is a spear. Actually, to be more specific, a lance isn't a technical term. Originally, lances referred to light throwing spears but later came to refer to jousting spears.

Guts kept getting a bigger sword and no they aren't, they're specialized to do that shit but if you threw them in a ring with someone who stresses his body doing practical(IE hard work without standardized form) he'll get his shit slapped around because his body is only good at what it's trained to do.

That's why some bodybuilders stick to messing around with big tires and fling ropes around, that's good and better than lifting weights, because it's more dynamic. But it's still not like some lifestyles like olden day lumberjacks who had to do a lot of unstandard workouts just to get paid.

Get out of here. Get the fuck out.
FFX was the beginning of the end.
Take your ass to the thunder plains and get struck.

Maces are better than swords.
A really big sword is basically an inefficient mace with a sharp edge.
Therefore, really big swords are still better than normal swords (but worse than a normal mace).

fuck off. FFX is the best in the series and everyone with 2 functioning brain cells knows this

I fucking love maces. Shame they're not used more often in popular media

lance is a spear in the same way a square is a rectangle, hence why I noted it seperately.
Pole axe user, heavy enough to to be a makeshift hammer when need be, has a hook on the second half for dealing with full plate, a spear tip at the top for dealing with charges, and then there's the normal blade portion for unarmored foes.

>lance is a spear in the same way a square is a rectangle
No, retard.

Yes and no. Yes, in that there's more to the story, as you correctly pointed out, but also no, in that nobody is walking around with fake muscles. Some muscles are more optimised for strength than others because of the way that the people using them have trained, but big muscles = strong muscles is an accurate rule.

>if you threw them in a ring
Then you would no longer be testing their strength.

>But it's still not like some lifestyles like olden day lumberjacks who had to do a lot of unstandard workouts just to get paid.
I guarantee you that the typical modern bodybuilder is stronger than the typical pre-mechanisation lumberjack. The lumberjack would certainly be better at lumberjacking, but he would not be stronger.

Buster sword is heavy as fuck. And Cloud can wield it because it's a video game.

all lances are spears, not all spears are lances.

Lance is a colloquial term that refers to many different things and yes, a lance is a word used for your average spear.

Poleaxe has no hooks, you're thinking of a Halberd.
Poleaxes have a hammer in one end and an axe on the other. Halberds are axe+hook, Bills are hook+spike

They're not really "heroic" in people's minds, because the sword is ingrained in popular culture as the weapon of nobility since it was carried around to deal with unarmored peasantry and bandits.
blunt weapons are generally relegated to the "brute" character in games, which means not the shonen lead. I always go mace in elder scrolls though.

They aren't though.

No they aren't and I'm fucking sick of the spear meme.

In one on one unarmoured combat, sword and shield has a substantial advantage over two handed spear and will fucking wreck spear and shield.

The problem with giant swords is no matter how strong you are the weight is enough to seriously throw out your back.

The main problem facing the swordsman is that he can't close with the spearman. Retards say "just parry the point lmao" and get blown the fuck out, and then other retards (this is you) come to believe that therefore you can't just parry the point and close with the spearman.

ill be honest guys and im not an expert but i dont think muscles are weaker or stronger based on how you gain them

>Twice your 1 rep max
Yeah no. Body builders are not doing 365 dead lifts for 20 reps. Try again you land whale.

Then give them a try yourself, bigshot, and see how far you can get that 3 plate deadlift off the ground.

>"lmao3plate!!"
Yes, lmao3plate, but in the context of what the typical human can lift, 3 plate is pretty substantial. Doing it for reps is even moreso. And what does that say about their ORM?

>Boy youd be really wrong given past lumber jacks had to chop would with an axe, carry lumber and do all this on mountain/forest terrain.
None of those things require more than a modicum of strength, except carrying lumber obviously. But you can just cut the lumber to a size that is reasonably carryable - to an extent. Obviously more cuts = wasted time.

What lumberjacks did not do is follow a high intensity training regime, take steroids, and eat 7000 calories a day. Of course they're not going to be as strong.

One hand on the spear gives you fuckall control.

Then you would ignore their spear because you are a fucking tank and conk them with a mace until their brain is paste.

I usually do 8 reps of 3 plates for about 4 sets.

Like in all sports there are different factions.

Pretty much wrong. The human body has its limits and only evolution could solve this. Guts weighs like max 200kg while the dragonslayer is like 250kg. Its literally impossible for him to wield this sword effectivly. With anime logic where the human body is a limitless vessel that as long as it gets trained it gets stronger without stagnating.
With that logic bodybuilders would be capable to lift cars easily, which they obviously cant

Alright I'm done, you guys are right, all the body builders I out lifted at my gym are way stronger because they have abs.

>A body builder does workouts for muscle definition.
THESE WORKOUTS ALSO DEVELOP STRENGTH

BECAUSE STRENGTH IS A FUNCTION OF MUSCLE SIZE

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

>Have you ever cut a tree with an axe?
Yes.

A good felling axe weighs 5lbs at most.

If you can hold 5lbs, you're strong enough to fell a tree. Everything else is cardio and endurance.

God I wanna slopper all over his fucking cock and be his little bitch to sexually abuse while he slams my thick hispanic ass

But the point is, body builders go for form, not function. Functional strength develops with fat. You cannot get muscle and strength without eating food. You cannot eat food without gaining mass. You cannot get mass without building fat. A body builder's goal is to avoid building fat. It's why power lifters, strongmen, etc go through bulking and cutting phases.
>strength is a function of muscle size
I know people with massive arms that curl less than I do, which is some of the funniest shit I've seen.

Sure thing dude.
Now go look up strong man competition and body builder competitions.
I've done both and body building only builds muslces.
Strong man builds muscle but add on strength.
You can get big muscles multiple repetitions on 15 pounders.
I cant believe a guy said dyel when he doesnt know how lifting works.

>THESE WORKOUTS ALSO DEVELOP STRENGTH
Two separate things.
>Everything else is cardio and endurance.
Totally doesnt help when doing strength lifts.

>But the point is, body builders go for form, not function.
Form comes from function, which is why bodybuilders still have to lift heavy weights. Until we get better at chemically inducing muscle growth, form will always come from function.

>I know people with massive arms that curl less than I do
Strength is not only a function of muscle size, but it is definitely a function of muscle size. You know this too.

Do not expect further reply.

You build muscle whether you cut fat or not. Protein is the key.

>THEY ARE STILL MUCH STRONGER THAN YOU ARE.

>inb4 manlet
Shorter people can lift things better than taller people to a certain extent. Think of your arm as a bar, the longer it is, the more what you're trying to swing will weigh. Regardless, Cloud being 5'7 and with his thin physique would be borderline impossible to hold the sword. Let alone all the fancy shit he does with it.

Supposedly, whatever metal it's made out of isn't actually that heavy, and the sword itself's pretty managable. Cloud wielded it pretty competently as a normie human.

In Advent Children, when Kadaj kicks it out of the ground, it actually bounces a bit, and in one of the non-FFVII spin-off titles, Cloud even says it's not heavy.

You bloody idiot, those dont even allow thrusts to keep it safe. And you are also required to have unhistorical features in armour like locked visors, minimum thickness in the plates and lots of padding.

Cool silhouette, and makes their movements in complex/fast anime fights easier to follow.

Someone gets it.

Then there's no point in having the non-blade portion of the sword-- the only thing the non-blade part would have would be to impart extra mass for newton's third law to take effect. If its all a super light metal then you'd be better off just having a straight "normal" sword of that size made out of a traditionally weighted metal.

The only possible explanation there would be that the metal is somehow BOTH super strong and super light and all "normal" weighted materials would be inferior in strength, which I seriously doubt is the case.

Actually cloud is stated to be 5'7 Zack 5'10 and well sephiroth over 6ft

What's the best Yuffie doujin?

>guy can throw METEORS out of his sword while hanging in the air for a long time
>WTF HOW CAN HE LIFT THIS HEAVY SWORD?

Cloud was a freak of nature that got even more fucked up when they started genetic tampering and shoving Mako up his ass

Ever heard of kinetic energy STRfag? Here’s a hint: the velocity term is squared.

t. retard who knows nothing about how physical strength works

PROTIP: fists are cooler in 7 out of 10 situations
the other 3 are jackie chan

Cloud was pumped full of drugs and materia shit

Gut exists in two plains of existence at the same time, the normal one and the one with demons and dragons 'n shit so the rules of reality don't strictly apply to him anymore

Monkeys can tear your arm off because they have longer limbs and the ligaments in their arms don't stop at the wrist like humans, they run all the way to the knuckle
Longer = stronger, now manlets will always go "muh mechanical lift" which is true, they can get a form to lift things on the ground since they are already so low while a normal or tall person will have a worse form having to go so low but the manlet will by default always be inferior due to things such as ligament length and by default have less muscle mass than a regular man
To put it in perspective a manlet would have to get totally jacked just to have the same amount of muscle mass a tall guy had by default
Now let's watch the damage control from the lesser "men"

They also have much denser muscles than man.

God damn it, I cant see people talking about monkeys without thinking of Joe Rogan

You talking about that time when he talked about chimps having horrible jealousy problems?

That's why you do what every anatomically modern human does and fight them from far away

nah, kick them into the water spartan style and laugh as they drown because its physically impossible for them to swim due to density.
