Dark Knights hold their swords like idiots...

It probably doesn't help that you're probably a fat neckbeard.

I look like a Miqo'te irl, probably way better looking then you girly.

Here, I'm guessing this is what they are basing it off of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFq4nYXeUgk

Some reading material. It's an aggressive guard stance that is half-risk/half-reward. Not as stable as other guards, the point of it is that you also are challenging the opponent with range. A wrong misstep can leave them open to you driving your sword into the throat or body.

That is a lot different then in the game though. If he grabbed the blade in the stance it would look much nicer, that actually looks like a good stance. You can also tilt the hilt to the side and push your thumb on the middle of the side of the blade as well and put your other hand on the pommel.

I think the theme is, your supposed to hurt yourself...

No amount training can fix how well your wrist moves. If anything over a certain lbs hits you with a stance like that and you block, your wrist is going to snap.

You can get yourself big muscles, but nothing you can do can make your wrists stronger.

People in the game are not homo sapien, anatomy may differ. Also knowing how to take a hit to minimize damage. Say I crash my motorcycle, training and knowing what to do at that instance will help minimize my damage taken, like not tensing up and trying to brace myself, things like that, knowledge and training.

It's awesome how similar those sword stances are to Japanese ones. Two cultures that never even really fought eachother.

There're quite a few game using this stance too. Why so serious about it?

Well, imagine how much more powerful they would be with a proper stance.
