    So I just watched all the Season 5 Executions...

    ...and Centurion takes the cake.

    2nd place: Shugoki

    3rd place: Highlander

    Honorary Mentions: Raider, Orochi.

    Some of them were way too silly, like, not even the hero's weapon was used.

    And Warlord's is bugged. Shield goes invisible.

    Which one do you think is the best-looking S5 execution?

    The video I watched:

    Most of them seem to be jokes, but some of 'em are pretty cool. I'm still waiting on the Lawbringer to get a decap execution though. Fingers crossed for season 5.

    I really like how personal the shaman execute looked. Probably one of the better ones out there

    Wasn't fond of centurions tbh. looks too fluid for the kind of thing it's doing.

    Most were great.

    Though I think my favorite is a tie between conq and warlord. just. wow.
    then second place is a tie between shaman and mushu.
    and third is highlander.

    Though imo the only "bad" execution to me is kensei's. as it looks better from watching not from doing. camera should be pushed back for this execution so it's easier to understand.

    The Peacekeepers Execution is taken from Ace Ventura 2.

    For me, I like Glad, Centurion and Raiders for my top executions.

    Even though i don't like the Aramusha, i really liked his Execution, finally a Samurai shows that they know some type of hand to hand combat. If Vikings get nothing but Wrestling moves gimme more Samurai Kung Fu.

    Zerk gets to execute and ledge you as part of his?!

    Centurion does take the cake. Savage A.F!

    Warlord, I dunno. It's the only one bugged right now, plus I still can't digest how do you stab someone with a shield... and a shield that has no spikes or sharp edges, at that. Just felt somewhat off.

    Aramusha was a lulz. Kung-Fu punch right through armor and metal?? kek.

    Highlander was great. You feel the weight of the sword.
    I dunno. conq's looked ok. but I wouldn't be against camera position change like kensei.
    Yeah it seems silly and I know how a good deal of these seem more cheesy/memey than a serious tone. But all I can think is "not only did the warlord beat you but he forced you to hold your own head." i unno. it just looks amazing to me.

    yeah maybe cause I watched without sounds but it doesn't seem like there is enough weight behind his blows. Love the animation of it though.

    it's my first highlander execution I actually like though. for that exact reason.

    To further elaborate on my centurion execution complaint take a look at the zerk one that chops the leg off at the start. or pk doing the quick stab and then decapitate (was a default execution) both of those and a few more just have no weight behind it. No...resistance. makes it just feel like they're lobbing off a chunk of jello rather than cleaving through muscle and bone. I would be 100% fine with centurions execute if there was a bit more resistance when he punched the head off. though the fact that he could just glancingly slice clean through the neck for a decap with one hand in such a fashion is also off putting.

    i'd have much rather an uppercut kind of hit that knocked someone on the ground.
