#

aw shit im at the final level

#

im gonna be pissed if this works

torpid mortar
#

also is it fair to assume that cutting out organs will be extremely hard to do without just cutting corners

#

just as a question

austere salmon
mellow wigeon
#

Dude not even gonna lie, yeah that mf looks cute smiling

#

Almost made me feel bad that we cave his skull in and bathe in his innards all the time

#

Which, btw, are they ever gonna be more unique character models during the full game's release?

fallow jasper
#

I wanna walk around in a little Willie town

#

That’s what I want

mellow wigeon

#

thats why im on the floor

#

the 2 photos

#

of me raking the axe down through him

#

and about to cut his ass in half

#

game went 'no, eat wooden handle'

#

also how do i reset my save in gauntlet

#

i wanna redo it

mellow wigeon
#

Just die lol

torpid mortar
#

i have.

#

multiple times.

#

mellow wigeon
#

????

#

That's really odd

austere salmon
#

my game just crashed on a good baron run

lapis harness
#

Did the new game mode come out yet?

fallow jasper
#

What new mode

lapis harness
#

I thought i saw a post of new spikey pit mode?

fallow jasper
#

Spikey pit?

lapis harness
#

Yea theres like new mode where your fighting on a bridge and theres a new spike pit

fallow jasper
#

Its like one of those foam pits at trampoline parks with the narrow bridge and the big log things

modest igloo
#

holy shit armor actualy does something now

#

this is an incredible update

mellow wigeon
mellow wigeon
modest igloo
#

makes people less prone to falling over which makes armor so much more viable

modest igloo
#

game does look a little shittier imo tho

mellow wigeon
#

Also I'm sorry, I know the devs said they look more for realism but just like, hell nah dude

#

Like bruh look at this bs

#

Rather have this than realism any day

modest igloo
#

yea theres def bugs but out of all the games ive played half sword is pretty accurate to middle ages combat

#

main issues imo were that armor is simply too weak compared to real medevial armor and previous to this update it seemed to be WAY too heavy

mellow wigeon
#

Haven't actually heard of that

torpid mortar
modest igloo
torpid mortar
#

dual weilders are stupid

@fallow jasper check ur dm

torpid mortar
sturdy spoke
#

hes dying now but for a solid 30 seconds we were locked eyes

modest igloo
sturdy spoke
#

it was through his chest

modest igloo
#

yea seems like his sternum looks like it would miss his heart maybe puncture a lung

#

I could see someone living a min or two with that

#

not happily living but living none the less 🥀

torpid mortar
modest igloo
#

I saw that

#

what was that

tacit prawn
modest igloo
mellow wigeon
#

Ain't no way that's not from a game bruh

torpid mortar
#

further adding onto my statement that theyre stupid. he got my arm off and still lost a leg and died.

austere salmon
#

hey game, WHAT THE FUCK AM I MEANT TO DO WITH A SAEX

sturdy jolt
#

I think the devs should add more ways to control your weapon. I could see some insane maneuverability with the scrollwheel

tacit prawn
torpid mortar
mellow wigeon
#

Yeah, see? This, how do I achieve this

torpid mortar
#

the ai for dual weilding willies suck

modest igloo
mellow wigeon
#

Like the friggin bo staff, how do yall get that

modest igloo
#

I rarely run into them tho

torpid mortar
modest igloo
#

bro this update is honestly great for the game I can effectively parry without half falling over

#

I hope they keep up these types of updates even if it means making armor a little op

torpid mortar
#

how did i die from this bro 🥀

modest igloo
#

lowkey tho this games deaths are bs sometimes

torpid mortar
#

im on slightly lower

#

and lower for npcs

#

so

modest igloo
torpid mortar
#

how tf did i die

#

thats just in my arm

modest igloo
#

idk maybe it connected with ur neck?

torpid mortar
modest igloo
#

and the game registered it as a neck shot

torpid mortar
#

it first connected with my arm

modest igloo
#

ion know then

#

well Im saying through ur arm

torpid mortar
#

not long enough

modest igloo
#

maybe it like gave your neck a tickle

torpid mortar
#

its a dagger bro 💔

modest igloo
#

ay man there are some pretty big fucking daggers

torpid mortar
#

this is a pretty good fit

torpid mortar

is there a full guide of what each weapon is? like name and stuff?

#

can you imagine in the future if large scale physics based games become a possibility

#

that would be so fucking sick

sturdy spoke
#

i keep having cinematic deaths where we stab each other fatally in one foul swoop

modest igloo
#

kinda like bannerlord x half sword

broken helm
#

am i the only one who has worse crashes after the recent update than before?

modest igloo
broken helm
#

i tried both

modest igloo
#

any difference?

broken helm
#

same same ish

torpid mortar
#

spare him?

broken helm
#

maybe a little less with dx11

modest igloo
#

honestly I only played for like 20 mins but I had zero crashes

#

maybe check if the game upped ur graphics or smth?

broken helm
#

yeah but once you're at the final stage where you get waves it doesn't take long for it to crash, i think it's because of all the loot drops

sturdy spoke
#

are fist fights easier after the update

sturdy spoke
#

i feel like im winning fist fights immediately

#

am i just good at them or are they easier

modest igloo
austere salmon
#

i won

torpid mortar
austere salmon
#

i shoved the oversized sword into his bloody neck

#

to reach that point i had to dual wield maces and just beat on the drums lmao

i ended up halfswording his obscene montante and burying it in his neck

mellow wigeon
#

I stole so much from there

austere salmon

torpid mortar

i have a beefy ass computer so i should be able to handle it, 4070, 64 gigabytes, and an i9 core

You just need an a cable to connect the headset

I saw his swipe coming in and engaged slow motion

austere salmon

this game has slow motion?

willow linden

There's F for slow motion but that uses your stamina.

I'm using a mod.

torpid mortar

i mean... i won?

austere salmon

#

ive beaten the baron twice bare handed on stream .

one time it glitched and i threw him over my body and slammed him on his shit

yeah gauntlet keeps crashing far earlier now than before, seems like the update made it worse for me

Man, the slow motion and learning how to implement spin kicks makes this game a whole different beast lol

why is the fist fighting so ass now

Hi 17

sweet hamlet
#

I'm not sure if it's an effect of the 3rd person over-the-shoulder, but I feel like my Willie's body is a blindspot

#

before anybody says so, 1st person is no-go, it's too shaky

willow linden
#

Some one addressed that in suggestions I think

sweet hamlet
#

oh wow, someone did, just saw that

torpid mortar

straight. counter.

ionic agate
#

how do i put images in here

snow raven

i just hit one of my enemys on the balls

it wont let me

magic bobcat

does anyone know the likely hood of multiplayer intergration into the game?

burnt smelt
#

Unlikely.

#

Also it's probably just me but I'm having trouble with the combat again

God I just want to skip the fucking beggar part of the gauntlet

caught his ass lacking

And the peasant

sweet hamlet
#

oh same

#

I've been stuck on the commoner boss for 85% of my gauntlet time

burnt smelt
#

Just let me start at commoner and let me get repeatedly fucked up by the commoner boss

#

Like bro who the fuck thought a longsword was a good idea for him?!

sweet hamlet
#

I'm pretty sure it's a Greatsword

light coyote
#

do gifs not work ?

burnt smelt
sweet hamlet
#

o fr, but it's huge

burnt smelt
#

What you think a longsword is is an arming sword

#

What you presume is a greatsword, is a long sword.

sweet hamlet
#

even the 2handers?

burnt smelt
#

Yeah

sweet hamlet
#

I thought the 1handers were arming swords...

burnt smelt
burnt smelt
#

I guess

#

Hold on

#

Which one hander

sweet hamlet
#

the one that matches most of the usual 2-handers

#

fuck me I don't have the knowledge to give names lol

#

I just like swords

soft osprey
sweet hamlet
#

anyone remember where half-sword pics default to? I don't pay attention to the saving directory

soft osprey
#

halfsword steam folder

sweet hamlet
#

thanks

burnt smelt
#

I fucking hate pitchforks

sweet hamlet
#

I blame that on the 3rd person blindspot

#

spears are much harder to deal with when most of it is blocked by Willie

sonic finch
#

is there a bug with the stamina just depleting super fast without hitting F and u just keel over and die?

steep sundial
#

I knew i couldn't be the only one who's had it happen

outer whale
#

Last boss is impossible to beat dude black knight doesnt die

sonic finch
#

yeah ive tried resetting the client after the update a few times

sweet hamlet
#

O, I thought you said "yes there is a bug" not just you agreeing that it happened to you

sonic finch
#

Im not sure thats why I wanted to ask here

steep sundial
#

I Cant think of any other reason why it'd happen

outer whale
sweet hamlet
#

Probably, but I'd like official confirmations. That said it's a demo and devs are busy with proper release so any bugs probably won't be acknowledge until then

soft osprey
sweet hamlet
#

That works

steep sundial
sweet hamlet
#

What time period and region does Half-sword cover? I'm wondering what makes sense to be suggested as weapons

#

I wanna look for some silliness in the relevant time period

slate moon
#

anyone tried playing this game with like a drawing tablet? I feel like it would be perfect

bro the commoner boss is so easy once you learn how to just run at him and stab

wispy dome
#

how have people been playing this endless mode?

willow linden
#

Abyss button

wispy dome
#

now how do I make the fog go away completely and make it visible?

#

bc ik i can choose without fog and it will just be dark

wispy dome
#

ohhh, gotcha is that hard to do or no

quick wolf
wispy dome
#

yeah I see people playing with it all the time

#

I've been trying to figure out how to do it

vague inlet
#

why did they remove exploding heads from the first demo

austere salmon
vague inlet
#

they need to add exploding heads with maces back

quick wolf
wispy dome
heavy mica
#

is it possible to break/peirce armor eventually after hitting it awhile or no

sweet hamlet
#

at this point no

#

you can dent it hard though

quick wolf
#

thats a good suggestion, would be cool, not sure how it would effect optimization etc though

austere salmon
#

with a good stab your weapon can clip through armor

NO TETO STOP

STOP SPANKING ME TETO

You’re always so rough with me teto…

sweet hamlet
#

ok

quick wolf
#

bro what

#

who is teto?

sweet hamlet
#

I don't believe that's... relevant to the weirdness

austere salmon
#

man halfsword on the axe is super good for unstucking it

sweet hamlet
#

unstucking it?

#

Uhh... if you need help unstucking stuff double left-click,

#

if it's stuck for 4 hours or more consult a doctor.\

austere salmon
#

i usually choke up if its stuck in a target

#

the axe likes to chop into bone and never come out until you halfsword it

sweet hamlet
#

double left works almost all the time

austere salmon
#

also is it just me or is chainmail useless in this game

#

huh, i just had a guy give up when i only walked up menacingly

thorn kite
#

i just made it to baron tier or whatever and it says prepere for the ultimate challenge what am i preping for

#

im scared

the main trick of hte axe is just to gore people, it can sometimes ignore armor and cleave off body parts like butter

# slate moon please do 🙏

Did a bit of testing, disclaimer I'm left-handed and using the pen tablet right handed kinda sucks

I needed to turn lock-on all the way up because moving the camera is the worst part because pressing left-click is a matter of pressing the tip of the pen, and mouse "movement" is translated by hovering over the tablet.

Two-handed weapons seem usable, one-handed / SnS is horrific.

my hand got cramps from that 5 minutes of testing lmao

you can see my struggle trying to get the camera to pan down

totally disabling it means I have to full control the camera

better get use to it now than later when u get comfortable with lock

austere salmon
solemn mist
sweet hamlet
#

ee that implies I'm actually running this setup lol, I just wanted to test it

sick hare
#

trust me, i disabled it and its just worth using it when there are more enemies

solemn mist
sweet hamlet
#

no no I disable lock most of the time when I'm playing a sane mouse setup

austere salmon
#

let me know if you want an example with a braodsword

solemn mist

More optimal

kaung, want a run with braodsword

same techniques, just a different wepaon

🥳

sick hare
#

ok so, letting the game on background actually crashes it after 30 seconds

#

i thought it was a 1 time thing and now it happened 4 times in a row

#

maybe is the specs

solemn mist

#

ryzen 3 3200, vega 8 and 16 ram

it runs at 60fps no problem on low and medium

I have a 3070ti and 5600g, gotta say, playing this game with low specs feels ambitious lol

sick hare
#

alright, just noticed that someone turned on the game capture of windows

sick hare
#

i always set it off cuz it consumes pretty much everything alway

sweet hamlet

I can feel my rig struggling once armor starts getting involved

possible yes

sick hare

but still ambitious

sick hare
#

well

#

i cant

#

it just 10fps

solemn mist
#

Maybe your laptop simply assigns less space for the halfsowrd when in background leading toi their crash, mine doesn'tthats_crazy

sweet hamlet
#

exactly lol

sick hare
#

if i play constantly at slowmo, its 30fps

solemn mist
austere salmon
#

kaung, note the technique of halfswording to eat an impact from a larger weapon

solemn mist
#

🔥

austere salmon
#

then feed him the point since he bears not a helm

austere salmon
#

its a simple parry, riposte, impale

#

then if he lives still twist the blade to cleave him in twain

solemn mist
#

Yipee

#

Finalyl a soluition to my lack of skill

austere salmon
#

now you have the winning techniques for both broad axe and feder dueling against larger weapons

solemn mist

i get my hands chopped off so often in this update now lol

use wisely these aged skills

honest thorn

now im gonna have a nap, use well these aged techniques

solemn mist
#

Yes master

austere salmon
#

oh one more thing before i am to rest

battleaxes arent afraid to be bludgeoning weapons, hit armored enemies in the head to shatter their skull and break their neck

#

break limb and rib to disarm and disable

#

then finish with a downard swing to generate momentum

solemn mist
#

I been dying to show this, look at this willie still trying to sit while having 2 brains

solemn mist
#

Far things I have learnt is that use high gaurds for blunts, torso guards for swords or similar, and dodge for axes or comically large weaponsashbaby

solemn mist
tropic valve
#

you know what would be funny

#

willie sun

solemn mist
austere salmon
#

for polearms and for swords use a low guard and push them aside to riposte
for oversized weapons and downard swings halfsword to eat momentum
dodging is for pussies, never do that and riposte instead

#

for daggers and for dirks just stab them first, you have reach on them

solemn mist

I don't likes daggersashbaby

id rather them not make it online, this game is resource heavy as is

#

splitscreen makes sense

#

online would be cool but i dont think were quite on par with netcode being able to sustain this type of game

vernal cipher
#

anyone here heard of some cool medieval game in testing called halfsword?🧐 wow

#

btw did they change fist combat? feels funky and looks different

they are going to add proximity chat

solemn mist

Modern medieval

#

Ye a ######

dreamy phoenix
#

online meta would be so fucked up though

solemn mist
#

Range gonna dominate from T4 to up

dreamy phoenix
#

competitive people would find a lot of weird tech

solemn mist
#

A llton of balancings gonna be needed

#

Might be fun if we get randomised loadouts instead of ability to choose ourselves if multiplayer

dreamy phoenix
#

people would find a way to customize it either way imo

solemn mist
#

Make it a paid dlc

#

100 dollar

valid raft
#

spawn with sickle
end match
i don't think random loadouts would be a good idea lol

dreamy phoenix
#

as someone who plays fighting games, I can already tell that this game has got some cool tech as is

solemn mist
#

But much better than having a defined meta

dreamy phoenix
#

it's inevitable though

solemn mist
#

Truly

thorn kite
#

my guy loses a hand and wont even swing his weapon anymore

solemn mist
dreamy phoenix
#

competitive Halfsword will look nothing like real HEMA matches, people are gonna figure out how to do weird buggy shit consistently, probably

thorn kite
#

it feels like it fr

solemn mist
#

Sword sheating while it's impaling a willie gonna be meta

thorn kite
heavy mica
#

some guy with a axe is gonna figure how to throw it perfectly

#

instant death

solemn mist
#

An a sense, meta will directly rinochet reallife meta too

sick hare
solemn mist
#

Range gonna dominate in no armor yiers

#

Blunt in armour

#

With swords being all rounder

#

And shields becoming optimal

heavy mica
#

ngl the meta in armor is just to bonk

sick hare
#

i mean casual pvp would be so cool, but tryhards will invent the most brilliant bullshit just to piss on the dismembered bodies of newbies

solemn mist
sick hare
#

and there's is this thing that makes u unable to get up cuz u get stomped on the head multiple times, i feel like tryhards or griefers will just abuse that and make it imposible to play if u get hit on the head and knocked down

#

there are so many things that needs to be improved before even thinking on pvp

#

surely it won't be on the early access

solemn mist
solemn mist

2040 my guess

dont know whats that

solemn mist

Idk the full name

But probably somethingike historical European martial arts

sick hare
#

historic european martial arts yea

#

just googled it

solemn mist
#

Yippe

#

🥳

sick hare
solemn mist
sick hare
#

rightt

#

makes sense

#

anyways i need someone to make lightsaber mod

#

or imma make felonies

#

and start a revolution

solemn mist
#

I bet somebody might have already made lightsabers mod

dreamy phoenix
#

Hellish Quart is a pretty decent HEMA game as well

solemn mist
#

If not, give it a few days

steady carbon
#

bro we dont even have true turncaps yet, you guys think youre gonna get the art of combat but youre gonna get chivalry 1: electric boogaloo

sick hare
solemn mist
solemn mist
dreamy phoenix
#

nope but it's pretty cheap

sick hare
#

there are a few of historical weapons but nun else

solemn mist
steady carbon
#

wait until youre getting approached ass-first and decapitated by a guy doing backwards bullshit swings

dreamy phoenix
solemn mist
solemn mist
sick hare
#

i feel like its the slowness of the gameplay

dreamy phoenix
#

if anything, the last announcement suggests that the game is a physics simulation first and foremost

steady carbon
#

hellish quart is the canned food files of melee games

dreamy phoenix
#

and I'm fine with that

steady carbon
#

get a life man

sick hare
dreamy phoenix
#

Hellish Quart is pretty cool if you're into fighting games and footsies
it's like a less flashy Soulcalibur

sick hare
#

before i need practice to make vertical slashes and now is 100 times easier

dreamy phoenix
#

oh ye, overheads are really good now

steady carbon
#

i do not like the new physics

sick hare
#

and the 2hand blades too

steady carbon
#

the game is getting too handholdy

sick hare
#

now they're a viable fight option

solemn mist
sick hare
#

i didn't buy it haha

steady carbon
#

hellish quart is nidhogg without any of the style

sick hare
#

and slower

solemn mist
steady carbon
#

simultaenously way too slow and way too fast

#

realistic dueling just doesnt make a good fighting game

dreamy phoenix
#

I don't know, I had decent fun while playing it

sick hare
steady carbon
#

atleast in traditional melee games theres usually multiple enemies to one shot or get one shotted by

solemn mist
steady carbon
#

quart just feels like doing a hobby without the hobby

#

like if you enjoy fencing, buy a fencing foil

solemn mist
#

Wrong one

#

You slapped it too hard

dreamy phoenix
#

I think I'll buy Gladio Mori today, pff

solemn mist
sick hare
dreamy phoenix
#

I tried it a long time ago, found it pretty interesting

sick hare
#

did it hurt

steady carbon
#

you can get all of the fun and realism of dueling by just buying a shitty $50 fencing foil, a mask and getting a leather jacket

sick hare
#

oh u talking bout the demo

steady carbon
#

its not an expensive hobby

solemn mist
dreamy phoenix
sick hare
#

how do i break willie's neck

solemn mist
sick hare
sick hare
dreamy phoenix
#

hit it with a blunt weapon idk
I can't do it consistently but it happens pretty often

sick hare
#

i meant with hands

dreamy phoenix
#

good question!

solemn mist
solemn mist
dreamy phoenix
#

one idea that comes to my mind is maxing out damage to NPCs and spin kicking them

sick hare
#

so they were pretty suicidal on the 1400s u say

solemn mist
#

ANd its still in demo

sick hare
#

but the camera slowing is making me lose my shit

solemn mist
edgy pewter

just shake him like a baby

sick hare

i dont have a 5km wide mousepad

edgy pewter

shakenwilly syndrome

solemn mist
dreamy phoenix
steady carbon
#

use a drawing tablet

#

the game is practically made for them

#

get one

#

theyre great for literally every melee game ever

solemn mist
steady carbon
#

still works

sick hare
#

i aprecciate my mouse life

edgy pewter

does willy have a willy

#

or is it like blank

sick hare
wooden monolith
#

will this game remain free when full release

steady carbon
#

hell no

solemn mist
dreamy phoenix
wooden monolith
#

3 years?

#

oh dang

#

worth it then

steady carbon
#

melee games and rhythym games are part of the same school of gaming

solemn mist
steady carbon
#

precision skill games

dreamy phoenix
steady carbon
#

the game isnt even in alpha yet

#

they dont know

#

it could be 900 dollars for all we know

solemn mist
edgy pewter
#

id still pay

solemn mist
dreamy phoenix
steady carbon
solemn mist
steady carbon
#

it doesnt change that the objective of gameplay is to become skillful at a set of actions

solemn mist
dreamy phoenix
#

yeee I was also surprised
and the knowledge from demo translates well to this version

wooden monolith
#

well whatever it might takes years until complete

#

saving isnt too hard

dreamy phoenix
#

the devs have been talking more confidently about the early access version as of recent

solemn mist
#

I'm going to save 1k dollar in case

#

Impossible dreamingashbaby

dreamy phoenix
#

so I think it should come out within the next couple of years

wooden monolith
#

I will save my liver in case

steady carbon
#

i just want the game to not become a handhold automatic action fest

solemn mist
steady carbon
#

thats all i ask for

solemn mist
wooden monolith
#

well at least this isnt EA

dreamy phoenix
solemn mist
steady carbon
#

its pre early acces

wooden monolith
honest thorn
#

Certainly will be

solemn mist
wooden monolith

I cant cut the kidney in half

solemn mist
wooden monolith
#

liver on the other hand...

#

yes

#

tried

steady carbon
#

devs im telling you right now, you have the capacity to make thousands, release an unfinished game and then take the money and run and you should absolutely do it because itd be hilarious

solemn mist
#

Idk man, if techn ology gets very advanced exponentially, halfsowrd might become openworld

dreamy phoenix
#

she half on my sword till I AIEEEE

solemn mist
#

I would say 2100sthats_crazy

tired sinew
#

The warstaffs ought to be heavy. They seem to have lost a lot of blunt power in the last upgrade

tired sinew
#

their selling point is reach and transfer of power. That should be honored

wooden monolith
#

when story mode

dreamy phoenix
solemn mist
dreamy phoenix
solemn mist
tired sinew
#

swords are not meant to compete through power swings if you want to go that route

steady carbon
solemn mist
#

Woahhhhhwow

tired sinew
#

you're comparing lemons to bananas then

steady carbon
#

im hoping it gets fixed soon

wooden monolith
solemn mist
steady carbon
#

im unable to move fluidly with poleaxes anymore

solemn mist
steady carbon
#

and it sucks

sick hare
#

i like bananas

tired sinew
#

well these bludgeoning hits lost their weight, which is now unproductive

dreamy phoenix
steady carbon
#

full armour fights with swords are the standard of medieval warfare

polar urchin
#

dx

solemn mist
steady carbon
#

for most of their history

wooden monolith
#

great sword and longsword are the 2 best weapons ever created

dreamy phoenix
#

I've never been good with polearms to begin with and now there is even less motivation to get good at em

solemn mist
tired sinew
#

heavy greatswords sure, and they can use some more weight to their swing too

steady carbon
#

its just that pommels suck at doing bludgeoning damage for zero reason and you cant be accurate with swords unless youre extremely good

tired sinew
#

doesn't make any pointt about warstaffs tho

dreamy phoenix
steady carbon
#

also its way easier to just drop the weapon and start throwing hands now it feels like

dreamy phoenix
#

I like sounds of armor........

steady carbon
#

which is good

#

its hilarious and we should keep it

gaunt nimbus
#

holy shit

#

is he ok?

dreamy phoenix
#

I'm so sorry for guys like m00 that focus so much on polearms

solemn mist
dreamy phoenix
#

cuz they seem to get more and more broken with each update

steady carbon
#

like you still lose to maces but im noticing that when im fighting like a poleaxe i can just box him out hilariously easily

steady carbon
solemn mist
steady carbon
#

he needs a chiropractor

solemn mist
dreamy phoenix
gaunt nimbus
solemn mist
steady carbon
#

im confident that if you put a poleaxe in my hands i could swing with more dexterity than willi can at this point

dreamy phoenix
#

pfff

solemn mist
#

I hate spears, they kept demolishing my swordashbaby

dreamy phoenix
#

just PARRY em

#

that's what I used to do

solemn mist
steady carbon
#

maybe we'll get more rubbery spines next patch and we'll get a golden age for polearma

dreamy phoenix
#

there's a bunch of ways around em actually

gaunt nimbus
steady carbon
#

but rn the inability to swivel ur hips makes it painful

gaunt nimbus
#

or cut his hands

solemn mist
#

But using low guards does helped me a little, spear bots opften go for legs and torso a lot, possibly becasue of the weight

gilded breach
dreamy phoenix
#

I can successfully parry the poleaxe most of the time

steady carbon
#

just bat the spear out of the way (oh wait you cant do that because arm movement is so robotic now)

solemn mist
waxen lance
gilded breach
#

which will also get u in close so they cant stab

edgy pewter
#

wait which year is this game set in even

waxen lance
steady carbon
#

1475

solemn mist
sick hare
#

1400s

waxen lance
#

Yeag

waxen lance
#

So like flinlocks are possible

solemn mist
edgy pewter
#

so guns are kinda a thing right

steady carbon
#

its alright for one handed weapons

#

its 1475

solemn mist
steady carbon
#

one handed swords are great now

#

polearms are terrible

waxen lance
steady carbon
#

two handeds i dont play so odc

sick hare
#

powder based guns where invented on the 1200s so it would be possible

steady carbon
#

idc

solemn mist
gaunt nimbus
#

@solemn mist it was a bit laggy but here's my fight against spear :d

steady carbon
#

why the hell would they allow a handgun into a tournament duel

edgy pewter
#

yeah like the guns in kingdom come 2

steady carbon
#

that defeats the entire purpose of the sport

spice talon
#

bro sent a powerpoint and thought we wouldn't notice

steady carbon
#

yeah i brought a real nuclear bomb to this military exercise

solemn mist

#

so uh i just encountered a bug making me naked

#

common bug

gaunt nimbus
solemn mist

#

What on earth do you play on

steady carbon
#

learn to use arming swords in this patch bc youll never have a less frustrating time to do it

gaunt nimbus
thorn kite
#

are you playing on the computer NASA used to go to the moon?

spice talon
#

Bro 😭

gaunt nimbus
#

just kidding it's potato

thorn kite
gilded breach
#

this is the best half sword player

spice talon
#

Blud plugged in his ti-89 and thought it would work

gilded breach
#

we cant let him have a normal pc he'll dunk on everyone

steady carbon
#

matadors are almost completely impossible now with poleaxes

thorn kite
#

thats a slideshow bro idk how u play like that

spice talon
#

I keep getting destroyed by the scythei

#

It’s literally fifty fifty

steady carbon
#

you either miss their head completely or just get zero impact because you cant move your torso

spice talon
#

If i get past him no issue

solemn mist
edgy pewter
#

i thought matadors dodged bulls or something

spice talon
#

If i don’t i get destroyed

spice talon
#

Not even joking that’s his real name lmao

#

Google it

steady carbon
#

matador is where you put the poleaxe in the dirt, walk forward and do a double ploy feint overhead to crack them in the forehead and send them down in one shot

solemn mist
thorn kite
#

it works pretty well

solemn mist
spice talon
#

For the axe I just hand snipe

solemn mist
spice talon
#

Works fairly reliably

#

Especially if I can get the godly two handed candle holder

solemn mist
#

Axe upswings and downswings are genuinely terrifying

gaunt nimbus
spice talon
#

Up swings aren’t bad

#

It’s the side swings for me

solemn mist
#

I have never shivered my timbers as much as to any other weapons than them

spice talon
#

Bc then he can keep comboing
