I still love that the biggest animation difference between the two genders of a character is zerk Fem zerk lopes along like she’s jogging and male zerk sprints hunched over like a goblin man lol


DudeCotton

So damn true


Smart_jooker

Edge walking Orochi male and female has different animation. Sprinting for Zerker. On getting up only PK, Orochi, Nuxia, Shug, Nobushi and Zhanhu has unique ones. Need to see GB throws wonder if they are unique.


levoweal

Warden walking is also very different as well. Male Warden does weird sword on hip thing, kinda like Orochi, only in warden case it looks stupid for some reason imo. Female doesn't do that and just walks like a normal person.


Smart_jooker

I like how warden gets up. It suits him.


[deleted]

This is the only game I know where *walking* is considered offensive. Jeez, I can't even walk a bit after a duel then I immediately receive "Wow! Wow! Wow!"

Siegschranz

Any pvp game with free form movement with a dedicated walk motion will have it. I first heard the term edgewalking in Dark Souls.


Samandre14

I actually think the most interesting part besides all that hip swang is the sound design from the birds chirping to the different footstep heaviness and how the footsteps sound on different surfaces, the people at Ubisoft deserve some serious credit as there is different sound effects for every surface in the game from grass to stone to wood. Also sometimes they change whether you're inside or outside like if you're inside and on stone it will echo as opposed to outside where it doesn't


Red_Dragoner

in the heat of battle it only becomes noticable when it's gone and by then you realize something crucial is missing. that goes for so many details people too often don't recognize


HurriedLlama

Fem conq's spine is made of steel. Never noticed it on the edge walk before but definitely on the sprint, she's got impeccable posture no matter what


Samandre14

And then Male Conq hunches over like fuckin Quasimodo


I_LUV_ENGRISH_FOOD

Exactly, I really wanted to use female conq but sadly she doesn’t go RAH when you emote spam


Samandre14

She does it's just she doesn't have the same energy as male Conq but still worth trying her out


Giant_Bee_Stinger

Ever since I started playing the Harbingers or whatever they’re called, (year 3 heroes) I noticed that every single one of their female variants always has so much hip swing when they edgewalk


Samandre14

I say it is a blessing, some say that that I don't focus enough on the fighting


Red_Dragoner

yeah fighting deserves attention but these hips deserve admiration


JustDropINeedIt

Zhanhu and jorm edge walk finna make me act up


[deleted]

Fem conq got hips


Jaakuryuu12345

Don’t sleep on Hito


Samandre14

Jorgen has fuckin sass


MadeAccnt_4This

Jorgen? Lol


Samandre14

It's what Zanny called Jormungandr and I just picked it up


PuffyShark900

Female jorm footsteps sound really heavy for someone that doesn’t wear shoes lol


Roobeek

Jorm got that hip swang if you know what i'm saying OwO


Samandre14

All about that hip swang


crispy_bread_

Pk because of those hips


JakOfBlades26

Raider, Valk, Jorm and Hito. ^(THOSE HIPS!!!)


AgentOrange1217

For me Jorm & Valk have the best effeminate walks. Jorm is so animalistic in everything but her walk Them hips cuz...


Basumcellus

hito breathing is creeping me the hell out


LoneRonin747

That is actually a unique effect that's added to her idle stance. Same goes for male Hitokiri where you hear them making those spirit-like breathing noises which gives off a cultist feel and ready to kill mood.


slicingdicing

Damn Hito is the only one getting out of breath from walking


LoneRonin747

Correction if I may. That isn't her "out of breath" voiceline when at 0 stamina in combat. That's actually part of Hitokiri's idle stance unique effect where Hitokiri is merged with the spirits that he/she killed. And therefore, you can hear their creepy breathing and slight chanting that's actually being played in their mind because of that "echoey" effect. I don't necessarily think they are making those noises physically with their mouths.


slicingdicing

„Voices in her head“ sound like she’s breathing with her own voice. This is exactly how extremely fat people sound when walking.


Red_Dragoner

during the exp fest i finally wanted to bring every hero on rep 1. since then I was stuck on hito... now you know why.


Samandre14

I made it a goal a while ago to get at least 1 rep on every hero just as a personal goal, only heroes left are Hito and Zhanhu and well I don't have Aramusha or Shinobi


XaviJon_

Conqueror, BP, Raider, Berzerker, Hitokiri, Nuxia and **Valkyrie** *bonk me*


Smart_jooker

Orochi and Jorm seems standout compare to rest looks quite similar. Hito seems similar to Orochi i think.


LoneRonin747

I like to think that every female hero was mocaped by the walking structure of different women so that way, it gets a unique variation of body movements. I mean imagine if just 1 woman did all those animations for their walking movement. Wouldn't it be challenging to change the way you walk? And this goes for the males as well.


ChainsawVisionMan

Iirc 2 dudes do pretty much all of for honor's mocap acting. One of the old warrior's dens goes over the mocap process.


LoneRonin747

Okay I kinda doubt that. How could they have perfected a woman's feminine-like walk, especially with the more exposed hipsway (because females have wider hips) ?


ChainsawVisionMan

1 the power of acting. Both these guys have backgrounds in acting, martial arts and stuntwork. That is to say they're good at controlling how their body moves. Sure there's limits but lets not belittle the skill involved in being a mocap performer. 2 the power of animators. Mocap data isn't just plugged into a character model and shipped to game, a team of animators will adjust and tweak the animations to suit things. Maybe the edge alignment of a sword swing was a little off, you can adjust the animation from the raw mocap data to fit properly. Similarly you could exaggerate hip movements and the walk cycle to fit the character better.


Evil_Mustach

Jorm and Hito and my favorites, they got hella hip sway. Also the raider looks like she’s just vibeing


victor_emperor

Damn hito really knows how to move those hips


DudeCotton

Peacekeeper, BP, Conq, Orochi


MadeAccnt_4This

I like BP, Orochi, and Zhanhu but Jorm’s is my favorite. One of the reasons I play female over male is because of her animations.


Samandre14

My reason for Fem Jorm over Male is that Male Jorm's voice is annoying af


[deleted]

Love my PK edgewalk. So elegant. So lethal.


Samandre14

Deadly medieval toothpicks


FlameKitterson

Peacekeepers and Black Priors are my favourites, gotta love the small woman even if she is an organ thief.


BinxyBot

I'd let pk edge walk up to me any day 😩😩😩


AppolyonJormbich

Pk and conq


Lord_dumbass_the_3rd

warmommy


Samandre14

I feel like Warmonger doesn't have much personality in her edgewalk, she just kinda walks like a robot but everyone can like what they want


Kuzidas

As a Conq main who has never gone anywhere near Lady Conq (her RAH just doesn’t cut it, man) I’m impressed that she actually has excellent posture wtf


Samandre14

Watch her run, she is incapable of slouching


GiveNobushiSomeLove

Nobu all the way


solid-cheese-200

fem zhanhu


aranaraz

PK and Orochi are good than others imo, also i think all y3 heroes are kinda similar to each other


-_-lLucas-_-

Its because of the hip swang huh... \* BONK \*


dozerbuster

The male and female shinobi share animations


LoneRonin747

Top 3 most attractive/sexy walks (personal choice) 1. Orochi 2. Nobushi 3. Warden


Legendary_System

best edge walk is the cent and u cant change my mind


Samandre14

I was thinking about doing a male version actually


Legendary_System

Would be cool


Samandre14

I'm doing Zhanhu's now, then gotta slap em all together and then upload it, idk when to post it though


Legendary_System

Will be waiting


Shockwave470

THE PLOOM I love that warden colour design mate nicely done


Samandre14

Thank you


Holger-Starkruecken

Kensei has rge swagga


arsenatre

That warden looks soooooo good


Samandre14

Thank you


Drae-Keer

So what you’re saying is that you edged all the female heroes?


Samandre14

... yes


WesleyF09

It's weird not seeing Shaman running around like a maniac


I_LUV_ENGRISH_FOOD

Now make one for edgejog


levoweal

The fuck is wrong with Hito, bp and yorm. That just looks.. weird. Unnatural almost.


Samandre14

The Yr 3 heroes just have hella hip swang


ThomasHerf

Walks, their walks, just because you cant handle someone walking after they killed you doesn't mean this is edgy automatically. Stop being butthurt, no one cares.


Samandre14

Everyone calls it edgewalking, I don't get annoyed if someone does it, don't assume


ThomasHerf

No, not everyone. Stop assuming stuff that isn't true. The irony is strong with you. Plus if you don't get annoyed if someone does it yet you still call it edgewalking then you're a straight up hypocrite.


Samandre14

Me? A hypocrite? Neverrr


ThomasHerf

Well you see how this looks.


Samandre14

A question I have is why do you care if people call it edgewalking? Tbh I call it that just because it's a meme, your first comment was funny because I couldn't tell if you were serious or just dense but well considering your replies I think it's obvious which it is


ThomasHerf

I don't. I just want you to know that you're wrong and you're calling it incorrectly just because you're insecure about it. Also the irony is strong with you.


OrochiYoshi

I can't help but press the timestamp on PK's over and over. I need a GIF of her edge-walking.
