Everybody Loves a Winner
The Vagabonds Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once I had fame
Oh I was full of pride
Had lots of friends
Always here right by my side
Well my fame oh it died
Now my friends all try to hide

Everybody loves a winner

Everybody loves a winner
But when you lose, you lose alone

Everywhere I turned
There was a hello and smile
I never thought
They'd be gone after a while
Well my friends let me down
And the smiles turned to frowns

Everybody loves a winner
Everybody loves a winner
But when you lose, you lose alone

Once I had love
Ah but I couldn't be true
To get back that love
There ain't nothing I wouldn't do
Well I've loved
And I've lost
And now I'll pay the cost

Everybody loves a winner
Everybody loves a winner

Everybody loves a winner
But when you lose, you lose alone

Overall Meaning

The Vagabonds' song "Everybody Loves a Winner" talks about the fleeting nature of fame, friendship, and love. The lyrics reveal the singer's despair as he reflects on his former life of glory when he was famous, had a huge following, and many friends. But now that his fame has dwindled, so have his friends. His once exuberant friends have disappeared, leaving him isolated and alone. He mourns over the fact that his past life of fame now seems like an illusion, something that has faded away with time.

The song's lyrics have a poignant meaning, as they explore the concept of life's ups and downs. When everything is going well, people flock to be with the successful and famous. But when things go sour, they often disappear. The singer comes to the realization that everybody wants to be around people who are successful, but once things go south, everybody bails. The song is a reflection of how people in life relate with the famous, the successful, and those that are not. It is a reminder that true friendship stands the test of time.

People are generally attracted to those who are successful and winning.

Everybody loves a winner
This idea holds true for most people across the board.

No matter where I looked or went.

People were always friendly and welcoming.

I never thought

Everybody loves a winner
This sentiment remains true.

Things they could have talked about:
- His technique
- His footing
- His grip
- Ninja/samurai arsenal
- His "armor"
- Way of the ninja/samurai and how they differ
- How hard it is to cut clean thru
- Is sekiro more of a ninja or a samurai?

This could of made a crazy amazing video on the history of samurai and ninja and how it compares to sekiro, it just seemed like they were watching gameplay and commentating thats all

4:08 I’ve beaten sekiro 9 times and I never knew you could do a lightning reversal with the mist raven tool

@Sherhan A you can block, or parry the attack in the air and reverse it to nit get chip damage, it also makes the timing easier since you can attack back faster

Mist raven (forward behind) + Sakura dance = cool combo for the cost of spirit emblems

Mist Raven and Sakura dance can reverse lightning without you taking chip damage against Tomoe Geni and spear saint Ishin. But if the boss reverses your lightning reversal, you might be screwed because both mist and dance have a slightly longer "hang time", i.e. Wolf stays airborne and won't touch the ground fast enough for a 2nd reversal.

Ghost of Tsushima is definitely far more realistic than Sekiro.

I was impressed because I've never seen that happen in games before!

disclaimer: there's actually no evidence that the ninjato ever existed historically. It was a later invention primarily from the entertainment industry. Even if you think about it logically the ninjato makes no sense, why would a ninja, who relies on infiltrating places without anyone suspecting him, wear a uniform or carry a sword that could uniquely identify them as a ninja, especially when swords were so heavily restricted during large portions of Japanese history, and having one would draw unwanted attention to them. Ninja didn't really operate by skulking about in shadows and doing parkour, they dressed like the people in the place they were infiltrating, gained entry without drawing attention to themselves, and did what they needed to do, which was mostly gathering information. They were the spies of their time, and operated as such. This isn't to say that the skulking and assassinations never happened, because they did, but that was a very small part of what ninja did, and when they needed to assassinate someone, dressing like a commoner and hiding a dagger was often a much more effective option.

Kranvagoun

@Corrupted Im not sure that's the case. As far as I've heard there are two possible explanations why we thought they even had a black uniform. First is because the illustrations of the Edo period in which it was common for people to wear masks. As it was to expensive to get a fancy mask, people usually bought simple black robes with black masks and media today use that as a reference for a ninja. Second is that they used black robes for a theatrical purpose. Moving props from the background "without being seen" so that they don't disturb the play. The idea like the green screen today if you will. Even without those two reasons I don't see why they would need a uniform because they were like hired commandos in a sense. I might be wrong though. If anyone has any information that is more accurate I'd like to know.

Corrupted

I'd assume the outfit would be more of a ritualistic clothing used for training/out of mission stuff, no?

Robywan-Kenobi

You're learning some, but the point of learning a sword discipline is to take the basics of any given art and have your own spin on it. Like I use European half swording techniques even when I practice with my katana, because it is essentially a messer with a longer handle and no quillians.

I wish they would stick to the technique side of things more, because I love hearing about how one cut or attack is actually realistic (or not). Not to mention they obviously aren't historians, so most of the history they talk about is basically at the level you would learn from pop culture. That said, I feel like I have to point out there is no historical instances of a "Ninjato" sword, sure there where straight swords and short swords like the wakizashi, but the whole idea of a Ninja/Shinobi only sword is 100% a modern myth. That's not to say Shinobi may not have had their own particular type of weapons they may have carried, but that our modern idea of a Ninjato was not one of them, and there are 0 surviving sword that would fit that description, as most that do are only a hundred years old or so, nothing correct to the period in which Ninja/Shinobi were active.

Arson

4y↑9

I noticed they keep mentioning the "Ninjato". This did not exist. Even the literal translation just means "Ninja sword", but the shinobi just used regular katanas. I would also like to mention that there are many historical accounts of Nodachi/Odachis being carried on the back. For more info on real ninjas, look here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-UePD6Wp5A . He also has info on historical Japanese combat with things such as the larger Nodachi/Odachi.

Mason hill

The people they got are not really great experts sadly. One talks about using a ninjato which is a Hollywood invention. Though points for saying kodachi. And then both talk about blade locking or as it's also called the bind as a contest of strength which that is the farthest from the truth. Blade locking is a contest of who can control their opponents force and create a opening first.

The feeling and sound when your sword collides with the enemies is phenomenal in this game. Sekiro, absolute masterpiece, more fun as well as hiding behind a greatshield like in Dark Souls. Hopefully Elden Ring adapts a lot of Sekiro in swordsplay.

@Ahmad Adnan I love sekiro and dislike anime, but sekiro absolutely has some anime visuals - just look at some combat arts like "one mind" , or anything with the mortal blade.

@TouchingIsJustTheFirstStep Sekiro isn't an anime game by any means. It's just a fantasy driven Japanese game. Just because they made a flashy sword fighting system with cool animations does not make it anime. Also, I never saw an anime game that had realistic graphics.

Rosh

Soupsy out here talking about “”””research””””” but the fact of the matter is that their duties and job was literally in their name: shinobi. Whilst shinobi may be samurai, just because they are warriors doesn’t mean they aren’t averse to having shinobi or performing espionage and reconnaissance by becoming shinobi themselves. Who the fuck do you think did intelligence gathering for a clan’s respective military force? That’s right, shinobi.

I think people wanted the experts react to Sekiro because of the posture mechanic (deflections rather than direct blocking to break through an opponents guard). Additionally, Wolf received the sword from Kuro and is an Ashina Katana, however the Interior Ministry shinobi do wield "Ninjato", so it was a narrative choice.

Corrupted

@Aleph Kasai oh cheers, no problem - have a great weekend buddy

Aleph Kasai

@Corrupted I don't remember what happened but I think I responded to the wrong comment.

Because my statement of blocking with the flat of the blade instead of the edge.

Corrupted

@Aleph Kasai Sure, but the game is an ultra power fantasy of the most skilled shinobi - The game has both blocking and deflecting as mechanics, deflecting being way more precise and damaging your opponents posture instead of your own, I think it's fair to assume Wolf is technically so good that he would be able to have the mental fortitude to always deflect instead of block - which would be the ideal perfect scenario if you wouldn't fear death, which makes sense, him being immortal in the story

Aleph Kasai

Although in a life or death situation what's important is actually parrying the attack. Making sure that it's the flat you're blocking with is a tertiary concern at that point.

Let's face it: a Katana was more a piece of art than a weapon.

The thing about Sekiro is he isnt hard blocking everything. Theyre deflections. Im no expert but deflection is simply redirecting your enemy’s weapon yeah? Sekiro is all about maintaining your stamina and not getting fatigued. If I remember correctly a normal deflection will negate any damage do health but will build up your fatigue. A PERFECT deflection negates all damage and fatigue. Imagine simply turning that force coming at you around instead of absorbing it in full.

1:21 “a lot of body strength and arm strength to block” So we’re not gonna talk about how a human is blocking swipes of a gigantic blade wielded by a 20ft gorilla

Did these guys just mention the ninjato as a historically accurate weapon? Also I wasn’t aware any Japanese male with historical knowledge of feudal Japan is a samurai😂😂

Of course ninjato is a historical weapon!!! Dude what do you know!!?? Haven't you informed yourself? The shorter the weapon the better. They created an advantage against the samurai also by fitting it with a rectangular crossguard so when the samurai were in the state of "what the fuck does that guy have on his sword" they exploited that opening and hit them with throwing stars. And the samurai were always weaker that the shinobi no....fuck it.....NINJAS. They dressed in all black, and as we all know black blends in extremely well in feudal Japan. Ask yourself! Have you ever seen a ninja on a cherry tree?? NO? It's because they hid so well man!!!!

I have waited for this reaction for sooooooo long

Show them Ghost of Tsushima. That game looks amazing and beautifully designed.

DANTE GOAT

ninjato and kodachi were not weapons used by "ninja" or "shinobi".

i don't understand where this anime-like idea of the ninja comes from but they were just spies, not assassins who dressed in dark clothes with their own special swords.

and it's a little bit of a give-away if your spy uses a weapon named after him called ninjato.

I want to play Sekiro looks like such a good game and I hear its souls like.

Wow, judging from the title they resurrected an actual samurai considering they've been dead for over 200 years.

@MatPost there is something like it called the bind. But it is not a contest of strength more you grapple or redirect force to create a opening to bash, grab, stab or cut.
