[versed wadi]

So far the down strikes have been a bit less than effective for me, but I did just nail this one so yay!

[summer pasture]

when kick fail, use punch

i just phantom hit this guy at the start 😭 sorcery!

[tall dagger]

so hard to master T-T

[summer pasture]

360 middair 1 shot is fire tho

faster spin = more air time

[mellow phoenix]

[summer pasture]

his head tilt 😭

[mellow phoenix]

@summer pasture i got inspired is tis sigma

[summer pasture]

im doing bad things to him

[summer pasture]

tiny bit more distance between, but i always do that mistake

good tho

[polar hemlock]

no head?

[elder arch]

why am i so innacurate with the downward slices

[summer pasture]

kick

[worldly coyote]

bro got fucking weaved

[elder arch]

how do you even manage to do this? mods? if so where can i get them

[open glen]

its just like that

[summer pasture]

[polar hemlock]

no mods i just caught a really clean reposte and sliced the top of his head off

[open glen]

press C for camera

[worldly coyote]

shhhhhhhhhh

[summer pasture]

[elder arch]

no i mean chopping his face off

[open glen]

max gore setting

and kill, murber

[elder arch]

i am on max gore

[open glen]

then just cut em up

[summer pasture]

did a quick weave kill

[elder arch]

is it the npc damage setting?

[summer pasture]

run forward then look up going back = perfect dodge

[worldly coyote]

god damn

dont need it but im sure it could help doing it

[summer pasture]

clean weaves

[elder arch]

alr

[warm kite]

I will NEVER get tired of holding my sword at the right angle to catch the forward hand on two handed pole weapons.

parry+fingers gone

note:works not very well on the very pokey boi stick

[summer pasture]

freekick! ( i think i broke his leg)

[summer pasture]

slowmo invalid

[warm kite]

i was not aware kicks were that powerful

[austere cairn]

still beautiful

[summer pasture]

the power on this one was brutal

[warm kite]

how do you do slowmo?

[summer pasture]

broke the freaking bitrate that strong

[austere cairn]

@rapid narwhal mod (https://github.com/vorace3200/HalfSword-TimeControler)

[tall dagger]

liver no feel good

[summer pasture]

the alcohol before match not good

[crisp shale]

best way to counter a spear is to grip it like you mean it then kick in the testies till death

[summer pasture]

he counter, me die

[tall dagger]

spears are so easy to counter in this playtest compared to the demo

[red robin]

3 kicks is all it took

[warm kite]

i just tend to get in close with grab sword.

[summer pasture]

not 1?

[warm kite]

ive done like a 3-4 stab combo with a spear though.

[mellow phoenix]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/jcKOXl2d4yinnYhjt?invite=cr-MSx3NngsMTgzMzUxMzA4LA best kick so far

[summer pasture]

good!

[crisp shale]

fr in the demo i would run from the spear guys and hide behind a table and play ring around the rosie until his AI broke and he fell or dropped his spear lol

[red robin]

it's cooler when you take him down methodically, first the ankle, then the complete leg, and finish the job

[charred moth]

DAMN hit him with a roundhouse

[mellow phoenix]

if im fighting with full armor and i get to down the opponent i stab his toes

[summer pasture]

i just do midair helicopter kick

[tall dagger]

i got really good at swiping their spears away

[versed wadi]

I love being able to force the AI to surrender

[elder creek]

bro, some of you guys be getting those Death Frenzy kills

[crisp shale]

fr its so much nicer then spam swinging at his head until u hit him

[versed wadi]

That and it feels so much more real too because in that situation, most people absolutely would surrender

[crisp shale]

yeah

[versed wadi]

When the auto parry/parry assist fails you

[hasty pendant]

hook kick of devastation

[summer pasture]

full vid is better

[hasty pendant]

yeah no the hook kick of devastation

that one in starboard is like the one to look up to rn

[summer pasture]

i looked like a helicopter some frames 😭

mines better tho 😮

if only i upped bitrate

[red robin]

i was doing some testing with the kicks and uh... just watch the end really...

[summer pasture]

i missed 3 times 😭

[tall dagger]

better than i could ever do...

[summer pasture]

just wait till you spin kick a little too much and knock yourself out like i did

IF ONLY THAT LANDED

[red robin]

do you really get air time with spins ? Sounds a bit weird

[summer pasture]

LOOK AT THAT KICK @red robin YOU DO

[rapid narwhal]

tf

[red robin]

how the hell

[tall dagger]

"i alone, am the honored one" ahh kick

[red robin]

[austere cairn]

playing half sword multi player and seeing that @summer pasture is your ennemy (he's going to land his best head kick)

[summer pasture]

did it again, didnt go high enough tho

[worn heron]

i believe

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/jcKHKQqGi4cDPA1WU?invite=cr-MSxxcEgsMjAxMzQ4MTMyLA

[summer pasture]

disconnect

[austere cairn]

😂😂

[summer pasture]

i still hate how i didnt record the bicycle kick

[gaunt burrow]

i saw 2 ai do this to eachother lol

I was doing carnage, i kill the dude, i turn and they just go flying like that

[summer pasture]

ive gotten pretty consistent at landing these

[median pike]

I no longer must play at 480p, if anyone cares

[worn heron]

i believe

[summer pasture]

the blood fps is terrible tho

[median pike]

my fps is stable with blood

[summer pasture]

it used to be unplayable, bit better now

[median pike]

yes

i used to get down to 20fps with blood

[crude flower]

Armor was a huge fps drop for me

[brave bramble]

yeah the game isnt potato friendly lol

[crude flower]

I upgraded computers so i don't know if it still does do it. I play at medium and 120 fps

[summer pasture]

im not getting anymore banging kicks 😭

[crude flower]

When i get to high armor buhurts it drops to 50

[median pike]

specs?

i would not want to be willie

[crude flower]

2080 super, ryzen 9 3900x

[summer pasture]

i never rlly have fps drops, i play on high graphics, highest gore

[median pike]

ou nice

[crude flower]

You're literally bruce lee

[royal epoch]

the fps is nothing like it was before these patches, getting about 50-90fps

[crude flower]

It is most definitely more optimized

[royal epoch]

before it was closer 20 25-35

[summer pasture]

100%

[crude flower]

Though i have a tendency to play without blood since it ruined my game-ish

[median pike]

same, epic graphics, 60fps, with a 3060 and ryzen 5600

[summer pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/gojo-satoru-the-honored-one-jujutsu-kaisen-jujutsu-kaisen-season-2-gojo-gif-5550030305894790251
not gojo?

[crude flower]

Erm good point

[summer pasture]

the kick is 10/10 from double sweep and didnt fall over

[crude flower]

We need a strength slider so i can fling willie across the map or crush his skull against a fence post

[brave bramble]

it is better than before tho, but it still needs some work. Maybe the models are too high poly? Or the lighting is set to some crazy number? Maybe its because of the reflections from the metal stuff

[crude flower]

It's unreal engine 5.5 with as much good stuff as they can put in the game, so it'll never be potato friendly

[brave bramble]

fus roh dah sfx when you kick willie with max strenght

[royal epoch]

how long is a good clip length? i feel like including the whole fight isnt the move

[summer pasture]

me with strength slider 💋

[summer pasture]

my fights take less than 30 seconds total

lowest 5 so idk

[crude flower]

Mine take longer or shorter depending on armor

[summer pasture]

mine are all around same

[crude flower]

Sometimes i like to take my time in armor fights. I've had one last like 5 minutes in single combat and like ten in buhurt simply because i was trying to get up the entire time

[median pike]

once again, im sending my love to the devs (no homo) because this is the first game ive ever enjoyed this much and loved, always wanted accurate medieval battle sims, but there were none, or at least that i knew of ❤️

[brave bramble]

UE is just a tool and I wouldnt blame it for everything. I think that once you know the ins and outs of the engine you can get very good performance on potato devices

[crude flower]

I'm not blaming it. I mean they're just making it look as great as it can look and with epic settings it's phenomenal coming from a playtest. It's meant to push limits

[summer pasture]

why does spinning kick do so much dmg, my regular kicks dont do anything 😭

[crude flower]

Regular kicks you need like 4 to for sure break willie's leg

[summer pasture]

good ol' through the armor

1 spin kick from me = deatj anywhere if i hit

[snow gulch]

been using thrusting to get quick slices to the throat, basically a free way in

[crude flower]

You're also aiming up at his stomach which i don't think would do as much as going for legs and kicking while he's down

[summer pasture]

kicking legs is for pussies!

[crude flower]

True

[summer pasture]

im manly man

[crude flower]

I used to do it a lot, but it was only really to combat shields

[royal epoch]

pretty good exchange and parry

[summer pasture]

front kick shield to kick it away, then right spin kick

erm, i just hit an insane kick

[crude flower]

I guess you could kick on like the right side of the shield or do one of your spin kicks, but clockwise instead

[snow gulch]

does AI half sword much on that tier? they basically only half sworded on the second highest tier lol

[summer pasture]

he ok?

[royal epoch]

I have seen it a couple times, but they really like to kick and grab

[brave bramble]

lmfao

[snow gulch]

oh shoot they can kick now?

[summer pasture]

ye

[royal epoch]

yeah you can even hit their weapons and shields out of their grip

[snow gulch]

oh nice

[summer pasture]

kicks in this game are so broken if yk how to use them and dont just front kick

[snow gulch]

if i had blood set to more than 25% this would of gone so hard

[summer pasture]

i hit another crazy finisher

[tall dagger]

same. except my shadowplay decided to break once again

[summer pasture]

moments before disaster

[tall dagger]

snapped that boys neck

[quick hollow]

#1047240101152960525

[summer pasture]

homie is not having a good day 😭

[brave bramble]

medieval peasant vs jackie chan aaaaaaaah clip

[summer pasture]

im surprised how, he was fine then the second it hit it insta killed

[snow gulch]

lowkey i like when they fall onto their knees after losing, then you can perform an execution blow

[brave bramble]

FINISH HIM

[summer pasture]

i keep a folder of all my crazy matches 😭

im still confused on this one, how did he get hit on the floor 😭

[crude flower]

We NEED to get a clip from outside of those head kicks bro

[summer pasture]

like what

[crude flower]

I gotta see a good camera angle instead of the jankiness

[summer pasture]

how am i meant to

[crude flower]

Maybe just hit camera mode once you make contact

[austere cairn]

bro wanted to leave that arena 💀

[summer pasture]

k

[crude flower]

🙏🏻

[summer pasture]

like that?

he tryna block it 😭

[crude flower]

I mean you didn't knock the fella out, but basically

[summer pasture]

how am i meant to know if i ko him, when im in cam

[crude flower]

I'm just giving you the tools to succeed. I lead you to treasures i cannot give the answers to

Stay strong

[summer pasture]

he dabbed when i killed him

[austere cairn]

bro made a whole graphic pack

[summer pasture]

NOOO i hit a crazy shot but camera didnt move

camera was stuck like this

[brave bramble]

bonk go to horni jail

[tall dagger]

can confirm that the guy talking about a the secret loadout was infact trolling

[summer pasture]

we need a replay mod

i hit crazy clips

[zinc nacelle]

Idk what happened but ever since the blood update the game got so easy, havnt lost a single match

[summer pasture]

bleed out

[zinc nacelle]

getting really boring, i wish there was harder AI to fight

[dense ridge]

There was no bleeding before

[royal epoch]

ever since the update i cant use a blunt weapon

[zinc nacelle]

Ai needs to actively block, parry, counter etc

[dense ridge]

blunt weapons got nerfed

[summer pasture]

holy shit, this what i look like to enemy when i kick

[royal epoch]

its bad that I have better luck throwing down top tier with just gauntlets rather than using a blunt weapon.

[dense ridge]

kicks are insane

[tall dagger]

they do counter. i got my legs sweeped earlier when i went to do a kick

[summer pasture]

ur just front kickin

[dense ridge]

all you need

[summer pasture]

what about this

[zinc nacelle]

once every 100000000 duels

[dense ridge]

its just flashy

[summer pasture]

"flashy" it 1 taps

spin kicking does so much more dmg

[tall dagger]

calm down saitama.

[dense ridge]

I mean you can one shot an unarmored willie with a front kick as well

[summer pasture]

what rank was ur vid on

max?

[gray anchor]

update rn?

[gray anchor]

when can i unhelm someone

[summer pasture]

always could

but like

out of my own volition

[summer pasture]

love doing the charge rush

[paper notch]

do yall play more first person or third?

[summer pasture]

actually, imma try spin kick in first

u reminded me it existed!

[tall dagger]

first person for longswords . third person for everything else

[summer pasture]

spin kicks much harder in first, still fire

[versed wadi]

It's fine, I'm fine, everything is FINE

[zinc nacelle]

why is there no way for me to thrust down, this sucks

[summer pasture]

why are my kicks so strong 😭

bro was sick of your shit

[sturdy ravine]

increase damage to player and/or decrease damage to NPCs

[fossil gazelle]

Is there any way this games animations will ever be realistic or is it not possible with the way the physics work

[summer pasture]

just the start of the chain ma boi

[paper notch]

bro kissed me good night

[summer pasture]

bear hug

[royal epoch]

the animations look realistic if you focus on footing and stances

[summer pasture]

"realistic" @royal epoch

[stable roost]

my man became a kite

[summer pasture]

and landed 😭

[royal epoch]

Classic kite stance

[summer pasture]

if the kick hit tho 🙏

my kicks make them see jesus frfr

[calm zealot]

The attacks from stances are all fairly realistic, until the Willie's really start moving

[muted owl]

WHAT DOES IT MEAN

[crude flower]

Among

[soft osprey]

According to hema practitioners we have here, it is pretty damn realistic

maybe the least damage victory i can get away with

[crude flower]

I wait for them to swing twice, then they kinda slow down for a sec, and get an arm or neck hit, finally go in for the halfsword stab kill

why need brain when without do trick?

NWA - No willie allowed

would be cool if we could dislocate jaws tbh

[sleek gull]

The groin kick finishes the match!

so huh TIL that Half Sword is using the puppet trick for the active ragdoll, but its just really good so it sells the illusion that its self balancing?

its been a hard day at work

[soft osprey]

You play guitar

[neon mantle]

Yeah?

[soft osprey]

Nice. What’s your main guitar

[neon mantle]

Ibanez RGIRFE20 in white (Pictured)

[soft osprey]

I am a fan of Ibanez, though acoustic not electric. They make some nice guitars

[neon mantle]

I also have an ESP Viper 401 in white, an Washburn WI - Joe Trohman sig, A really modified Encore strat, and a Schecter Hellraiser in Cherry Sunbursrt

[soft osprey]

Washburn are my actual favorite brand when it comes to acoustic. You got some great taste brother man

[ornate frost]

i hope they add the ability to enable/disable the "NPCs give up if you hold your weapon at their throat. Especially if they are on the ground."

[plush tendon]

i rocked a cort evl a6... because it looks dope

[neon mantle]

Thanks man, I originally got the washburn purely because it's light but for a cheap(ish) guitar the tone really holds up too

[versed wadi]

double kill

and double dismemberment

[lusty pike]

Brutal

[plush tendon]

no love for cort? fine..

[sleek gull]

Hey..hey! You ok?

[chrome gust]

litteraly a 10 min fight

[fleet thunder]

You prob heard this 5 billion times, so let this be 5 billion n 1 - Multiplayer? 😄

[plush tendon]

no

[fleet thunder]

Still great thou, love it to bits!

[brave bramble]

god damn that switch was hot

[distant geyser]

How tf you kick \

[fleet thunder]

space

[brave bramble]

spacebar add some camera movement for the jackie chan shit

[distant geyser]

when tf did this get added ?

[sleek gull]

I feel like if we get multiplayer, we may have to decide between it, and mods. I'd rather mods.

[distant geyser]

and thank you guys

[plush tendon]

they are not mutually exclusive

[fleet thunder]

@sleek gull Could be two part split game, However... that's gonna be pain in the cinnamonbunhole as soon as you have a update, that is supposed to work with both "versions" So yeah...

[gritty perch]

yo how do i kick people in the game

[fleet thunder]

space

[reef monolith]

space

[gritty perch]

ok thank you

[soft osprey]

They are but they aren’t. Some games like vintage story you just automatically download all the mods the host is using. Other games, you have to manually make sure to have the exact same mods. That would be hella annoying in multiplayer halfsword

[plush tendon]

the ability to mod does not interfere though

[brave bramble]

syncing physics is not fun

[dense ridge]

man, no matter how simple you do it, decapitation always feels good

[vapid heart]

whats a good playtest blunt that i can choose in menu? i want to start practicing blunt weapons

[fleet thunder]

What i would like... is to take halfsword... make it 2.0 hahah and just throw 64 players in it ! 😄

[sleek gull]

What I get concerned with in multiplayer games with mods, is the mods in multiplayer. I'd prefer not to be up against a Flamethrower, or an Apache Helicopter that got modded in. = )

[dense ridge]

Local multiplayer seems very very possible. Online multiplayer seems like a never ever endeavor

[fleet thunder]

Yummy i love it when its clean like that, or when you just rush them and double click so its a thrust.. and sloofff... in the throat or head... done..

[plush tendon]

now that couldnt happen either way

[fleet thunder]

Choose your servers and games, self hosted. Remove ... attack helicopter mods? 😄 done ! Just wanna slash my friends!

[dense ridge]

what games allow you to see locally hosted mods? lol

[sleek gull]

If it were server based, not just random match making, i'd be totally happy.

[plush tendon]

[snow gulch]

really hoping the AI halfswords less soon its so annoying 😭 can just hit them at a range cause they try to halfsword from way too far

[wispy ermine]

just hook their weapon and repeatedly mash his testicles with your metatarsals. Eventually the PTSD will kick in and he'll cut that shit out. ;)

[sleek gull]

Oooof.

[formal flame]

Man I LOVE the new feature of forcing a surrender if you hold a weapon to willies neck

Makes tier 8 fights so much more fun

[solid igloo]

I brook no surrender

[formal flame]

if u want

but now you have a choice. Say you really only want to do brave stands

and sometimes you end up smacking the dude in the head like 80 times while he's on the ground because he refuses to give up until he has CTE

[solid igloo]

Fair. That shit gets kinda tedious

[novel palm]

right click

this

[soft osprey]

Holding the blade AND handle to be able to precisely stab through gaps, you can use it to block pretty decently too. And yeah as above said, hold rmb

[tough bough]

How is your sword moving so cleanly

Mine wobbles so much with every swing 😔

I can do the smallest most accurate movement I can render and it'll still fling half my body

[covert onyx]

lower sens

[sleek gull]

I vary my slicing speed. If I find my sword stuck on something, I like to work with it by slowing down my movement, and driving in a cool looking, and damaging way.

[brave bramble]

lower your sensitivity, do short but fast motions

[haughty parrot]

He did this to me in a single sweep

[sleek gull]

Believe it or not, I play at 40%. Not too low.

[cobalt kayak]

had to switch weapons, lost my shield, then my sword, so i had to steal the stick with spikes from a dead guy and used it to kill these other two

[hardy violet]

What does it mean to "half sword"?

[cobalt kayak]

hold half of the sword with your hand

[shrewd sierra]

use half your sword

[cobalt kayak]

if you're using a sword ingame right click to start half swording (if you don't have anything in your left hand)

[hardy violet]

that was what I was thinkin, thanks!

[shrewd sierra]

my finger slipped

[muted owl]

at least in spoilerace, if used in armored fights it's fine

[random wolf]

thanks :)

[crisp trellis]

Anyone have good advice to get better stabs with swords? They always feel really hard to get any distance or accuracy with. Thanks :)

[merry dragon]

stabs with swords arent always that good
i'd advise that you do it in a small buhurt/brave stand for the lesser armored enemies
but the somewhat equivelant of a stab is just using the half sword stance

[jolly gorge]

when is this gonna get fixed..

[elder creek]

Hooked axe thing is gnarly

[crisp trellis]

My main issue is that they always go far left or right and miss rather than actually hitting the target and idk if the issue is I'm just moving the mouse wrong or if there's some special secret I don't know or something.

[merry dragon]

yeah, it does that, about everyone has this issue
i think the devs just need to do something with the stability

[calm zealot]

well that's a new one

[crisp trellis]

Gotcha, thanks :)

[jolly gorge]

my half sword audio is glitching and willie sounds like a sci fi character

[merry dragon]

yeah also our guy who does our lawn n shit got arrested for fucking shooting someone but apparently it was false

[wheat leaf]

too many new rules in place to keep criminals active and disable good people from defending themselves its sickening, not worth getting too far into though not like itd change anything

i mean i dont rlly think anyone agrees with the new law

[stable roost]

Dracula got flagged for not even kidding "Vampires drinking blood"

[grave aurora]

you can replace stuff, you can't replace human life

and i'm sure there's specific exceptions for credible threats against your life or the life of someone else

imo if you really wanna use lethal force to defend your property that badly you should have to get a sword

[stable roost]

Thats what we are taught

[wheat leaf]

no, thats the funny thing. if your life is in serious threat, you are just supposed to do as you are told to save your life

[agile lotus]

self defense ma dude

[wheat leaf]

you are under no circumstances allowed to take any self defense measures aside from like... wrestling the gun from them if you had the chance or something along those lines

but you cant own a handgun, they are trying very hard to remove all semi-automatic rifles

[grave aurora]

there are some states in the US where you have a duty to retreat, i.e. if you wake up and hear someone rifling through your shit you're required to get out before doing anything else

and self defense does not apply to property unless it's something you would die without, like if they were stealing your insulin pump

[remote crypt]

Glad in my state if I'm home and there's a breakin I can fill em with 9mm

[agile lotus]

i'm not from the us

[grave aurora]

that's good practice anyway, if you're getting mugged or something you're supposed to hand over an ideally fake wallet and phone and run away

[soft osprey]

Okay, this topic is pretty much at gun control. Please shift topics away from political stuff

[remote crypt]

[reef monolith]

worked for me

didnt point it tho I just stole it and they gave up

[true zealot]

i remember seeing this message, the guy who made the choking effects apparently had water in his mouth so it's probably genuinely water popping lmao

[onyx osprey]

works perfectly for me, just point the weapon at throat and hold it there and they give up if they're lying on ground even if not damaged

[true zealot]

everytime ive put a weapon to their neck they end up moving and tearing their own face off

[vapid hull]

Its stuff like this, I feel that wouldn't make MP fun at all. How, without silly balancing, would you counter this as a user of anything other than a long arm?

Also look I biffed him on the chin!

[shy fossil]

sword, run at you. It's quite simple.

[median haven]

there are some points, like at 10 seconds, where an experienced player could parry your strike with half-swording and then stabby you in the neck

[shy fossil]

you beat weapons like that by closing the distance.

[median haven]

yeah, when they get too close you're just limply whacking them with a wooden pole

[true zealot]

just made my first suggestion, cant wait to get flamed 🙏

[vapid hull]

The counter to that is just poking them, or backing away

[vapid hull]

This is not exactly what I mean, but it shows how just rushing doesn't work

[median haven]

uhhh footwork or something

[shy fossil]

The problem with your logic, is that a player won't stop coming at you. Lol. I understand you though

[steel isle]

Just forfeited 13 duels to FINALLY get a Brave Stand. I can't wait until we can choose the gamemode

[vapid hull]

Exactly, that's the issue. They won't stop coming, so I can just walk forward with my blade to them, and use that momentum to skewer'm

[median haven]

you gotta be brave to get a brave stand, doofus. what's brave about forfeiting 13 times?

[median haven]

half sword away the blade? parrying? idk

[shy fossil]

You can still win, with a polearm like that but a longsword player vs polearm player is a pretty one-sided fight. You can win, but that longsword player is gonna win 9 times outta 10.

Plus, more experienced players will find better and better counters to polearm users.

[vapid hull]

That can work, but that beat parry requires a lot of movement that opens more windows

I'm not saying it's not possible to beat it! I'm just saying that I feel it would be very unfun, given the nature of a polearm being a way to keep distance while being able to strike.

[shy fossil]

i was looking for a gif and found this instead

[median haven]

hypothetically the game could devolve into who can throw the handaxe at the opponent's neck first

[median haven]

this could be solved by being able to see what your opponent's loadout was before the game started, so that you could pick your own loadout accordingly

[shy fossil]

Yeah, if they want to balance, they might balance it by same-weapon fighting. It's not as fun, but they could also do a mode like this where it's just random weapons.

[vapid hull]

That's fair, but that introduces the problem of

"Ah shit, this guy's running polearms, he's the fifteenth in a row, and I just want to fight something else"

[median haven]

then different categories

weapon categories
like polearm v polearm or longsword v longsword or buckler v buckler

[true zealot]

running against your 20th spikey pole in a row

[compact compass]

Polearms are easy to counter Bru what all y’all on about

[shy fossil]

To empathize with you, I also love polearms. But I do take a liking to my weapons like the longsword. Polehammers, my favorite in the category are usually better, imo, because you can get closer. They're also really usefull to use the half-sword grip with.

Yurr, longsword's very fun. I also like closing the distance, its very neato :)

[median haven]

it was probably a stab while upright and then he fell down like that

it's really hard to stab downwards

[delicate kettle]

[dusky torrent]

how parry bro

[onyx osprey]

All the talk about parry this and parry that is overrated, I just swing first and kill on first strike as the goal

[median haven]

sword in both hands; hold left click with mouse somewhat centered; you're autoparrying

you can tell when you're parrying because the point will magically turn towards the center

[dusky torrent]

did that and it didn't work

[wind charm]

10 billion caffeine and a sheep to hype you up :3

[median haven]

[delicate kettle]

[shy fossil]

does the game suck, or do you suck? you can't even figure out parry so I must bring to question your skill level

[opal sundial]

I’m pretty sure 90% of the active people here will disagree with you. We all love examina here

[dusky torrent]

No in exanima your character will literally never parry thrusts

[shy fossil]
