Humor Pointing this out because no one else will but the sword is modeled upside down the flat edge is on the wrong side

And honestly a second time this happened but in Psylockes case it was the guard of the blade

Also happened with Magik's snowboard skin. The chainsaw blades are backwards.

Genuinely starting to think the devs don't know which end of a sword you swing with.
"Oh, one end of the blade is narrower to reduce the weight."
"Obviously, that round thing is the handle, the straight part is the guard."

Wasn't that just so the blade looks like a pen when sheathed? Or did it happen another time?

Btw, did you notice Blade’s sword is modeled upside down?

This is the second time they've messed up on swords. Psylocke's Business Elite skin has the handguard on the wrong side. Seriously, I'm sure this was brought to their attention. They could fix it immediately.

Have they actually not fixed psylockes skin yet? Its not only really obvious but I thought they were supposed to immediately put out hotfixes for their mass skin sellers

Third time actually. Happened on the Hela savage land skin

u/Remarkable_Excuse_69 Caught in 4k 21h ago
I thought I remembered others before, the Psylocke one was just so egregious and embarrassing because it's not only wrong but even if you knew nothing about swords like the modelers you'd know it was wrong because it clips through her hand at idle, something any human would recognize as a hard stop. No one is giving more than a glance at these skins before they're sold now.
Next sword skin will have the sword just kinda floating near the character (no chance of clipping now!), then they'll be holding the blade (but it's okay he's Deadpool he's silly), then the sword will spawn in with the character at a random location on the map but it will still be attached to the character's animations (we just won't fix this bug because it doesn't affect gameplay)

How do they keep getting swords wrong in a game with so many sword characters

u/A_Giraffe Rocket Raccoon 10h ago
The AI only understands the general look of a sword, but doesn't actually understand the purpose of the sword (or even cutting as a physical interaction). So to AI, the edges are arbitrary, because the item "more or less" is correct.

u/Brightshore Blade 19h ago
I don't mean to give you the 'aschtually' but it's due to how Blade handles and swings the swords. Whenever he swings, the sharp end is aimed at the enemies!
It's due to the animations sadly. Blade in this game is meant to hold double edged swords and not single edged like this blade here.

u/Aradjha_at Magik 21h ago
What if he's just holding it like that on purpose? False edge cuts are a thing
15
u/Brightshore Blade 19h ago
You're actually right. I'm not sure why he holds it that way, but whenever he swings the sharp edge is actually faced towards the enemies. Strange choice on the animators part, but it works.

u/Mynamemacesnosense 14h ago
It’s more cause he was made with symmetrical sword in base design so they most likely didn’t bother in the first place with it.
2
u/Thicknhorny420 12h ago
He’s quite literally just looking at the blade of his sword. It’s almost meditating in a way like he’s looking at what his enemy sees last before they die. Very on point for Blade tbh

u/TheBallisticBiscuit Emma Frost 18h ago
That's what I was thinking. I've done a little bit of sword training and this doesn't seem THAT odd to me.

u/ContagionVX Blade 17h ago
The way he grips the sword in default stance makes it’s easier to hit targets with the sharp edge. It’s the same problem with the Blade Knight skin too even though it’s weird
-1
u/Mynamemacesnosense 14h ago
Not really. It’s seen the actual edge is lighter compared to whole blade. So he does hold it wrong way.

Same with Psylocke's Business Elite skin, the handle guard clips her hand, how hard can it be to rotate it?

The angle isn’t the greatest for it, but with the shading it looks like both sides might be sharp

It's not the first time they botch a sword. Did they fix Psylocke's sword handle guard on her Business Elite skin yet?

u/Draculaska Blade 1d ago
I'll go ahead and mention that it seems to only be poses and emotes that thos happens. From the clips I've seen of the skin (too broke to buy it just yet) he swings it sharp side first.

Nah, Blade just uses the sword as a blunt weapon now. Instead of "A thousand cuts" he says "A thousand bonks" in his ult

His wrist is twisted......look at the pic again and think reallllllllyyyy hard lol.

u/Valasta_Bloodrunner Flex 1d ago
Ya, I'm a fantasy/sword nerd and checked his grip before I even looked at the sword.
For anyone who can't see it, his hand is palm-up. When you face a sword forwards your palm is faced down/center. The blade isn't backwards, he's just holding it in a casual relaxed grip.
Edit: What I really notice wrong is that the hilt doesn't line up with his wrist in an anatomically possible way. Either the sword is crooked, or his wrist is actually broken
2
u/Folfenac 1d ago
I don't get it. His index finger is on the flat side so if he holds it up, the blade would be facing him, right?
1
u/Valasta_Bloodrunner Flex 1d ago
No, it's off to the side by the looks of it.
If I remember, I'll look and see for myself tomorrow or Thursday.

Just like my Japanese animes! Well, specifically just one, but I think his sword was made that way on purpose.

Psylocke has the same problem with their business skin. The hilt of the rapier is upside down.

Looks like both sides of that are sharp. Quite possible it's upside down but there are swords shaped like that.

Just because it’s flat on one side doesn’t mean that it’s not sharp? (I don’t think??)
