Valks "no touching" execution. | Forums

[Han-Singular]

The original videos shown had the enemy grab valk.

Now it's been changed so they fall and grab her shield...

It looks awkward and weird now.

I had heard they were having a clipping issue with the original and that's why it didn't make it into season 4 release.

I guess they censored it because people were complaining about it or something but that kind of sucks because the original one was better and made a lot more sense.

its super bad to have any type of sexual content in america. sure we have flying heads and arms are getting cut off but touching breasts? NONONO! thats too much.

I haven't seen the original, but think of the context. Wouldn't it would be even more awkward if someone who just got gored with a spear immediately tried to cop a feel on their opponent?

I do agree with the OP that the original was better.

I mean, it's one thing for almost everything in media to be oversexualized to make a woman feel like the only thing she can bring the table is physical appeal, but what did this execution have to do with that? It's not like she's doing a sexy pose, it was funny awkward moment before MURDERING THE WOULD BE OFFENDER.

Gotta draw a line somewhere I guess.

I'm super disappointed in the change as well. Is it really where we are in 2017? It literally looks dumb now and doesn't make sense, but whatever.

The more I think about it, I wonder why did they even come up with that execution for Valkyrie in the first place? and then have to doubt themselves, change it, and upset a lot of players, particularly Valk mains. Plus have us all riding the 'oh there was a clipping issue so we're fixing that' train.
There are several executions in the game that just plain look wrong and nonsensical, and others that just seem too downgraded. Some examples:

- Warden's 'Gut Then Chop'. Nonsensical. In what world do you completely chop a head off after fully stopping the blade right at the neck, and halting all momentum?
- Warden's 'Backhand Strike'. Downgraded. More of a punch than an execution. I personally don't see what's so deadly about it.
- Raider's newest execution. Nonsensical. The victim holds the very blade of the axe with his hands, which has the added weight of the Raider pushing in with full force. The victim's hands are basically holding a guillotine and they remain unscathed. Dunno.

Etc etc.

But Valk's new execution was the icing on the cake. A completely out-of-place idea, the first ever too, in For Honor. Which also greatly impacts the Valkyrie's impression on the game. Then oh hey, it's controversial, let's SFW it. And let's lie to everyone what the issue was.

Oh cmon Nobushi bounces a coin off her *** and Shugoki's Hip Attack execution is the Fat Man pelvic thrusting your face, so an accidental boobbage is pretty tame compare to that. xD

Well, check this out, hah. I really wish it was implemented THIS way. Perhaps by then, Valk wouldn't be too much of an issue lol
