Somebody played too much Final Fantasy 7. Neat to see it as a real sword, but I have serious doubts about it's combat worthiness. ;)

I'm completely lost as to why they included the first minute of that video, with the epic beard friends finally choosing cameraflex to swing the sword....

I've seen an earlier video of the first guy with the curls in a parking lot bashing about with this thing...I thought for sure he'd end up in traction or a body cast from the severe trauma to the spinal cord.  The big guy doesn't look nearly as bad with it.

This video just made me laugh so hard. That sword was huge and even the brawny guy was slow with it, in combat it would be worthless. I can't even imagine trying to pick up something that big.

Well...if you were facing people who were easily intimidated by the appearance of it...that might go a bit toward staving off an actual altercation.  lol

I'd surprise them by letting the guy swing at me, it would get stuck in the ground then I'd easily dispatch him as he's pulling it out of the ground. Then I'd become famous for defeating him =D

Having never played FF7 and only seen it briefly, that sword constantly reminds me of my favorite character from the Soul Calibur series - Siegfried. I want his armor!

Yea, Sig's armor is like that.  Wouldn't mind a similar harness myself.  My sword would be much smaller than his, however.  lol
