so we just making stuff up now?
no i might have beef with drinky but i stand with him on this one
saying that as if anyone cares
whole lot of entitlement for a free demo handed out to you
your name really speaks for you
pretending that no one cares won't really help your case here
so since a game is free im not allowed to complain about it
W logic
never said that
nope
lets keep playing pretend
you're free to complain while i point out how much you seem to expect from an unfinished physics based product in its early conception
early lmaoo
are we talking about the same game here
I also only complained about literally one thing and its the amount of crashing that happens for no reason when blood is turned up
its really simple to manage that im a developer myself
sounds like a hardware issue tbh. i play with blood at like 90% and i never crash.
on an old 2070 no less
game runs fine
I dont even think its the blodo
I crash at random moments doesnt really matter the amount of blood around me
it just says like unexpected error or whatever
if it's random it might be a game file or hardware/software thing
what graphics settins do u even play on? cinematic at 1440? lol
kind of being mr obvious here, but did you try reinstalling?
they're already working on a different gore system anyways to mitigate the third party blood plug-in issue
i recommend also using dx11, my game runs worse on dx12
yup. dx11 gang
just me on that though
if your gpu is newer dx12 does some favors but dx11 is just way easier to render and deal with for anything else
being an older more well-integrated API
game honestly just looks better on dx11, and runs far better on it too
There is a fatal error caused by the current third party software they used for blood in this version, it will be fixed by early access but for now the only way to prevent the fatal error crash is to either turn blood completely off or very low
Felt good BUT, if you watch closely - I should be very dead
twice I think'
yeah but the ultimate end result is what matters in a fight and you came out on top
This was me earlier fr
completely agree. i run dx11, medium, 1440, 120fps, vsynch off, i have literally never crashed and my gpu is ancient at this point
looked like it touched your nose there for a sec
how come they havent done this in the past 2 years the game has been in production is what im confused about
ai willie could miss you by 1mm and if you win you win
Bro it didnt exist until this version came out tf u mean
easier to be in the armchair pointing things out
the crash?
its been happening since playtest
i got a beefy 2080 12gb and a good processor, game will still crash on the ultimate challenge ofc, and will lag when too much armored willies are out
Right after the spin parry thing, he got me right in the neck
Yes this and the playtest are on the same version
if devs could they would
then this version has been out for like a year
either way
how come they havent done this in the year
This is what old blood looked like lmao
damn, man
ultimate challenge is definitely a given. i'll give ya that. no one is safe from that bug apparently.
You realize this is a completely free game that they dont get paid for and are making out of passion right?
ik
it probably didn't have enough friction to cut you, that's some luck
got a 7900 xtx and i have to put blood off
its funny you think that
24gb
this is a demo bro. they're working on the actual game
Blood has only been out for 6 months. The ultimate challange has only existed for three. They're building their own blood plugin currently, so it will be fixed, just in this iteration of the pre release, bug testing, demonstration build, its an issue.
slimy little fuck
The fuck do you mean? They have never even had a kickstart.
ive been playing this game for a year and a half blood has NOT been only out for 6 months fym
funny guy
not if youre trying to play the game the way god intended, which is with blood all the way up
do you mean this version of blood or blood in general
hahaha you are speaking TRUTH
amen
the way god intended half sword to be played is with blood and gore to the max
Great counter argument
but sometimes we can't always follow in his teachings
Playtest gore, outside of the abyss. The gore we use now.
we are limited by the technology of our time
i actually recently stopped playing with gore to the max, and i find it much more satisfying. with gore all the way to the max, it makes it wayyyy easier to gently touch someone with your weapon by mistake and their leg or arm going flying off
idk what world you live in but blood has been in the game since the beginning of the playtest and I know for a fact ive been playing the playtest longer than 6 months
if you think they have made 0 dollars off this game you are funny
They reworked it for the demo release, you can see it in #work-in-progress
just hit a clip
There is no publisher, there has never been a kickstart or patreon, all versions of the demo have been free since itch.io. You are literally delusional.
so social media doesnt exist
i notice you kick a lot with no intention of actually connecting, you doing that for momentum?
i do something similar but use the little dash for horizontals, kinda like a mordhau accel
gruesome is technically the proper dev intended and the most realistic way but i keep gore to the max just because of the cool disarmings/among us deaths i can pull off
How would they make money off social media when the game is free? Are you okay? There is no advertising for the game besides players.
oh so your just stupid then
my bad
Great counter argument
I had no idea you didnt know how social media works
one look at #faq would solve your life
ye, i do gruesome now, with blood at like 90, and gore at like 60, so the fights last a bit longer
their social media is bare bones af lmao
No literally, like dude is reaching
theyre more active here than anywhere else
if you kick, the torque of it can be harnessed into chaining combos, range forcing, gaining momentum, parrying and switching side. It's a technique that I use to limit shift usage.
Yep using kicks gives a lot more oomph to stabs too
still makes them money
they post on 4 different social media platforms
a decent amount
Enough to work full time on an indie game demo? doubt it/
with enough followers to make money on all of them
yea, i've seen your vids, good stuff, we play very differently, but you hit some great clips. that's what i love about this game, everyone finds their own path of abusing the physics.
so we are just putting words in my mouth
Its directly implied off the whole point of the argument being them being funded to work on the games blood
abusing is diobolical way to say that
they are working onj it themself
you should go have a snickers and a cigarette and come back to this discussion.
so tuff bro!
Its like they have lives, eat foods, families. What kind of dystopia do you live in where game devs are just sitting in some matrix capsule permanently making games?
willie imma need you to stop putting words in my mouth because its honestly kind of pathetic that you need to stretch this far
haha ye sorry, not implying you abuse them, you're very methodical and accurate in your tech.
They work full time jobs while making the game, youre just moving the goalpost because you ran out of fuel.
if they have made this much progress on the game in a year im sure they could spare some time to switch where they get their gore and blood from
maybe too methodical... 
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJf9gt96GBef-1d7WTeK8b71T2mOC8PG7
I also love how one of your arguments was "eat foods" as if they cant eat and work
I do it all the time
Yeah that seems like a pretty simple concept considering it took them a year to finally change the old blood and gore system from the former demos.
The concept of buying groceries for a family is foriegn to you huh
it's rage bait, let him grovel.
doordash, uber eats, instacart, hello fresh, skip
honestly this whole shitflinging ordeal should've been stopped from the moment i recognized it as ragebait
LMAO
here comes the ragebait card
"welp looks like im losing, gotta say its ragebait that'll get him!"
@wind charm also the axe end is better than the hammer/spike end for the higher end polearms right
just a bunch of sad losers glazing devs when they know they lost so they have to say its ragebait
lmaooo
ez
handling is different with each head, including the back.
we're so back
it's actually different?
they all drop the same after 2-3 of the exact same basic head swings
so i couldn't really gauge
yall excited to make bonkers polearms when they release the weapon making system
Rage bait and trolling isn’t allowed here. Either leave or dont, it’s clear you want everyone’s attention.
yes, the heaviest tis the front blunt disc with square hammer head on the back, and the lightest is the axe head with the spike on the back.
jarvis, make my polearm as long as possible and give it the biggest sharpest end.
the little plate with the spike coming from it?
was playing with someones weapon mod pack the other day, and there was a weapon in there called METAL POLE, it was very heavy and unwieldly, idk how i did it but i hit this quirky ahh anime flourish with it. it made me actually lol
that's surprising, i figured it should've been the lightest
my favorite high tier polearm config has to be axe with the pick at the end + hook on the other half
i'll jump on 
even before i could swing a sword properly i was already learning how to cheese with my favorite polearm configuration
anybody use the alt cheese with polearms
i just swing normally, alt i rarely use outside of forcing distance
you held it up high and the right hand let go before it grabbed it again which made it bug out as you switched grip
thought it was quirky when it happened. it'll be interesting to see what happens when they implement the weapon tuning and you can adjust the wieght and length of your weapons
Every combo weights different, every pommel weights different, so the combination gives a wide variety of handling feel and results.
i usually only feel the difference in handling between swords
i forget it's nuanced across all weapons
When I tune a weapon with intention of it going OP, to squeeze out the most damage without sacrificing handling, it goes into multiple decimal points of adjustment, and it can take 3-4 days spending 6-8 hours per day.
because the randomly spawned bastard sword i use vs the shorter commoner one both have their own feel
commoner one makes it way easier to immediately flick to a stance/guard from neutral instead of having to adjust/glide to it
which pack is yours?
The weapons that have fixed mass and handling are the non modular weapons like the tools, the standard 1H and 2H axe, the halberds, Billhooks, and Spears
Vicious Weapon Packs
Especially in the hands of NPCs 🤣
oh, that ones comes up as care2share in ovrdth right? there's some fun weapons in there
the way willie randomly swipes that axe around is genuinely egregious
it grabs and it will end you
When we play, we are using human hand-mouse control of the stroke line, variable and dependent on skill. When NPC fights, they are going thru an programmed stroke line depending on their randomized Ai level
So it’s hard to compare control of players vs NPCs
"HE'S PULLING HIS SWORD OUT!"
Yes, the largest pack around still, but because I am the first, many things I had to experiment and figure out myself, looking back there are much things I am not happy with and has been redoing them. There are also much unreleased weapons. They will all be released in the future, OP and crazy stuff, for the general player looking for fun. While at the moment I am also focusing on subdued, “non OP but improved weapons handling” for serious players looking to achieve better combos and moves. Currently in collab project with M00. The big pack will come after that.
ive been beating the daylights out of this guy for like 5 minutes now and he just isnt giving up
i COULD knock him out whenever by just beating him up while hes down but thats the cowards way out, this man has been punched hard enough to break his jaw or cut open some wound of his (blood splatter came out after a punch to the lower jaw upper neck area)
hes also been downed like 4 times now and he still tries to defeat me
ITS A TYPE Type XVIIIb LONGSWORD

Polearm enthus should watch out for the next pack with M00
nice. looking forward to it. and i think thats a good idea. i go through moods in this game, sometimes i want to play serious and realistic, sometimes i want to play with stuff that's ridiculous, and sometimes i want to figure out ways to take advantage of the physics and try to make new repeatable 'moves'
variety is the spice of life. good to have options
hes FINALLY down for good
lately, i've been trying to figure out a consistent way to lift people and do more grappling, i think the guy who made halfsword enhancer is working on a mod for something like that.
i just love how diverse this game is in the ways that you can play it. it seriously never gets old.
i'm recording footage for a video so I managed to do this for ya
beers in half blade my oh my
handling's different with Tiers as well, so that's another factor. 
i have no evidence for this, but it almost feels like higher tiers are "stronger" in some way. maybe it's just the armor, giving them extra weight. or maybe its just in my head. not sure.
yeah the man at arms stick
that thing is lowkey fun to mess with
nothing on the other end and it's shorter too
Trust us.
i would assume handling differences are probably the result of armor, yeah
go on?
Handling different other than mass and geometry, are also largely determined by the movement modules, which is tiered. If it’s the same, then there wouldn’t be need for separate modules denoted by tiers in the game structure
.
oh, i see what you were saying, i was'nt disagreeing with you, i was just making a seperate statement tied to yours. the tiers definitely handle differently. you can absolutely feel it.
While I read the game structure on file, it feels like so to me too. And M00 confirmed it with video comparison
i had no idea, thats pretty cool
Yeah I know 🤗
fkin shield users
Objective: slay the giant
Also, it doesn’t always mean higher tier weapon will be a better weapon. Luck of the lottery draw may make it less ideal if it’s randomized in a way that the balance is off. Modular weapons are all randomized in some ways to give variety in the game
i felt the frustration there
i'm curious did anyone else in here use to play exanima?
physics games are so satisfying. i think this is by far the best one hands down.
Do sheathed swords stop attacks?
i've also run into a lot of ex mordhau players in ehre as well
like does it provide any ballistic protection
Nice chatting, time to hit the hay, G9 guys
gngn
we pulling out photos?
Looks more like a KOBE moment
We pulling out photos. Gn!
exanima is a great game, love it
is this what you guys mean by disarming
"Where is the tavern?"
The humble arrow:
You guys think there ever will be a multiplayer when the game comes out? (Sorry if thats really overasked question)
#faq
tldr: no multiplayer on release, devs will look into it after release
thanks, couldnt find this channel
any suggestions on how to get better peformance?
this games optimization is horrid sadly
So simple, yet so clean..
Depends what your rig has.
Needs more details.
If you got like 8gb of RAM, an i3 and a 1080, the game might not run very well.
i stabbed willie a little below the neck and he's still kicking
he truly is title card
and he somehow ended up defeating me
Going live in five on twitch! Link in bio
Anyone got tips on how to use the greatsword? It feels like it doesn't build momentum very well.
idk
but i love to break peoples neck by shaking their head till it breaks
what does title card mean
Oh hell ya
i do
and i love to torture that willie when i win
a slow.. painful DEATH
spam m1 & m2 and try to grab their head and hold both m2 and m1 and punch their head
insta win
or even kill sometimes
due to neck break
i do a torturing way sometimes
no.
First, punch the willie till they cant attack, grab their head and land two heavy punch on head, then grab with both hands and shake his head , and then ram into a fence with the willies hand grabbed infront of you, making the willie hit the fences and bite them one by one, and when that is done, throw them and grab a sharp object and slash their neck and shake their head till it dies or neck break, and then drop them, if you see blood spit out, that meeans you killed him
yoo im new to the server but like i got to man at arms for the actual game, the thing where everting goes black and you have to fight to regain your rank thats super annoying, anithing to do about that or?
nothing, and also thats actually a good thing that gives you a chance to get your rank back
no but make them hit their head to the fences
yeah i know but its just super annoying also any tips for the actual game?
sometimes you just get that when the other guy shold die before you do
eh dont use any weapons in beggar except there is candle
or armor
cuz fist and kick is lethal if you learn to use it
also yeah candle is very broken
candle (large one) has very much the chance to break neck everytime
i land that everytime i want to
yeah but that dosnt really matter tho
well but its only in begger
also in abyss
oh yeah
but also not in beggar too
so its better then any other wepin
nice
lo
l
also when you get to the last guy like the top one if ypu do you lose him?
like in every other level
die
if you die
ano
no
that whould be annoying
holding hands : D
bro i get almost to the baron and my game crashes
Yo yo
WHY DO I KEEP CRASHING
are you trying to say a slur here
I can only look at it without the W. Unless you have another explanation for what you meant to say. Otherwise im gonna assume that’s what you meant and remove you from the server
Fuck shit ass bitch
Let’s fucking go
hey i just wanted to ask, has anybody experienced their peripherals turning off and then back on when playing this game?
Nuh uh
Militus tell me what he meant to say
.
game keeps crashing help
far as winning goes
Fuck i fuckin forgot about that god damn fuckin rule
based
turn your blood off or down crashes are caused by the blood
thank you
Fuck squared
aslo the less damage allagiece is the bast right?
lol no
That shits the worst just use dodging and footwork to not get hit, at the end of the day taking less damage is irrelevant if you get hit in a vital area.
they dont really matter that much
Dodging or stamina would be best for you
ok thanks
yo chat why tf it says "out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource. make sure your video card has the minimum required memory, try lowering the resolution and/or closing other applications that are running. exiting..." i got like 19456 mb
vram
and it always like black screens for 5 min b4 it sometimes actually handles the game
a mod forgetting the rules eh?
mcwonderbread, smite this man
Yo drivers up to date?
yea just updated them rn
i mean
like
b4 b4 and after ts happened
gtx 1060 i6, rtx 3060 ryzen 5 7600 game is generally unoptimized so i doubt the rig matters atp just need any tips as if i can disable something for better peformance
just beat the game & ultimate challenge in 16:58
not sure if that's the new WR but It's still good lol
#speedrun no idea either
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3376864446
Written for the playtest but applies to the demo too, can try some of this out
check speedrun.com - i remember the top contender being 16 minutes if im correct
so you may have
there isn't a catifgory for ultimate challenge lol
yes there is
check again
you may have missed it
it doesnt SAY gauntlet
i think its like “100%” or smth
I beat it by 5 seconds lol
HA!
it's only the Gauntlet, it isn't the Ultimate Challenge
So I do hold the record the ultimate challenge lol
Player
Novasov Time
14m 43s 690ms Date
2 months ago
I beat the gauntlet in 9:55
I just realised that if you and a willie grab a weapon at the same time but then you rip it out of his hands, the weapon still does damage to you, literally almost killed myself by accident lol
why it keeps crashing again and again i literally cant finish the game
y'all think being able to submit someone would be cool?
i js did dx11 now it works fine
gang wins.
Clips from tonight's twitch stream. (link in bio)
do u not talk at all while streaming 💔
I do, but the clips are game audio only
anyone else have a problem that when youre just abt to beat the game it crashes
i cant play it anymore why??
my specs are a ryzen 7 9800x3d and a rtx 5070 and 32 gigs of ram
if it says "fatal error", thats an issue with the game itself, turn off gore and blood
playtest was removed in april and its content was merged with the demo
is there any other way i like to play the game with blood and gore
so you just have to re download the demo
oh okay
it shouldn't usually crash anytime other than the ultimate challenge
blood and gore can be on for 1v1s
why cant your own weapon harm you
its very weird
i had this weird position where i was cutting my own neck and it wasn't cutting
exactly what i needed, thanks.
Really can help a lot. Also recommend a GPU overclocking software. I use MSI Afterburner. Very simple and gets you a few frames
overclocking isn't rlly worth it for me tbh
thanks for the suggestion tho
No problem. Im on an 8 year old card so anything helps lol
"Man, I don't wanna do this no more"
don't rlly work sadly
mann i need that demo abyss build back
only version that ran nice cranked to the max
Happy

no i dont think so
"Sword eating ASMR"
??
why cant i lock anymore
Damn I got like an extra 10-15 frames w this
Press "Z"
Idk man maybe you accidentally bumped it
probably
dude pommel strikes are so good
i have added pommel strikes to my repertoire
you can kill a man with a well-placed pommel strike
Yes indeed you can
are we talking about in the game
noo im sorry i didnt mean it like that 😭
where do i get acces to the play test version of the game?
you dont
understandable
Playtest was removed from steam.
The demo has absorbed the features of the playtest
Its amazing how after i beat Baron once after like 10 hours of the ultimate challenge, i just speedrunned the whole game without dying once in like an hour
and beat baron again
first try
Yeah once it clicks
what graphics r u running
game looks mint
high
yoooooo
how u did it?
How do you get the challenge mode to work? Mine just sends me back to the main screen and does nothing
Should be that you select the first tier in gauntlet mode (should be the only one unlocked), two cards pop up, you select one and fight.
yooo
its maximum graphics?
This remains my favourite clip of any of my streams.

No just high
what is your gpu and cpU?
1060 6gb, i5 7500
you play 10fps?
bruh
me have 1080ti and ryxen 2700x me play minimal graphics in 60fps
i can play normal graphics in -+60 fps
The lowest it got for a fraction of a second
maybe you have 128 gb dram?
I overclocked my gpu with MSI Afterburner. And used a .ini file to tweak the graphics settings using this guide
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3376864446
6gb vram in the card
16gb ram slotted in the computer
thx bro
Yuhhh
With guide
Without guide
The difference w the guide and Afterburner
just dont get hit smh
Msi Afterburner is what I use to overclock my gpu
already notice the difference in fps lol
whas that
Its a program that lets your graphics card spin faster and work harder than it's technically supposed to, by default
ooh
anything that is above 20 fps is acceptable
yeah
your eyes technically barely notice anything above 20 fps
so i dont understand why people get like 120 fps
Once I dip down to mid 40s I start tweaking.
Spoilance snd carnage i usually do a bit of slowmo with enhancer to smooth it out
Its 60fps but yeah
not true
small buhurt be lagging my game
Buhurt be crashing my game
my sources tell me 30-60 fps
30 for movies, 60 for games
pretty wide range honestly
Idk why but
so yeah anything above 20 is acceptable
Well, not for me, but you do you
speaking of buhurt.. low graphics gets my fps to like 15-ish maybe
anyways, yeah, I like playing my skyrim and fallout games at the 30 capped fps
Idk man thats a lot of movement
All the armor flopping
And the collisions
Micro collisions between body and armor
i understand why, but maybe there should be a mode that disables that
like an official setting
No disrespect my guy, but its the whole point of the game
i legit forgot how to play halfsword tf
Its what makes it half sword
to be fair the only thing that makes it half sword is a sword.. and the ability to half sword it

is he recording on one of those uh
cameras that makes everything look more spherical ig
ye
the only real complaint about this game i have is
the leaking blood looks a bit cubical for some reason
Thats pretty good for being your only complaint
They're gonna redo gore for early access
It is indeed voxel-y right now
But also, completely physics based
So that's the trade off at this stage
Of development
why are you eating my sword
Didn't you post this like an hour ago
why are you reposting the same sword
yh but i reposted it cuz that time chat was dead
Thats fair I do that too lmfao ive just been here so I know 👁👄👁
Mbmb
it can i think
i was in this position where a willie was pressing my own sword down my own throat
and like
they can
nothing happened
he wasnt going hard enough
If theyre on the ground
i have never seen it
They can
get him to thrust more or something
Just for fun
Anyways I image its because the arms get janky and end up with your sword behind you etc, and grabbing the blade.
Just easier this way for now
no he wasnt im always right
After dude hit me I was like naw
why cant i find this
Its in Server Guide at the top of all the channels
Was like bruh is clueless out having a life or smthn and not posting clips tn
Kidding lmfao
robotic willie
i just don't feel like posting clips often any more after the bs last night
What bs
wat happened
how the fuck do i p lay have sword did i fuckign get dementia
Ik I gave you shit that one night last week and felt like a dick lmfao
damn
I got you tho ya boy cookin tn
i posted a good handful of clips in a short span and a lot of people had a lot of problems with them so i figured i'll just post some cool clips in the footage channsl here and there but that's about it
best tech to get hits is to Punish
You do post a lot but like, we all do
i dont 
yeah it was a fair point
We also yap about the game just as much ngl
hence why i conceded and just won't be posting that much any more
But yeah. You post in #1263248218297339915
this is so sad
it was also more along the lines of people finding stuff to say about the clips
so i figured
yeah i guess they're kind of right
shut up
wtf i just survived through a stab to the head
my willy didnt even twitch or anything
Well shi its dead hours now
you shut up
the problems actually began during dead hours
Ez mode
yeah man i forgot how to play this
so it's w/e
damn is 🎉
go play commoner
Damn is 🎉😂
i ❤️ commoner
I do you goober
if more folks got a problem than folks who don't then who am i to disagree
ok
Repost idc
?
I guess yeah
These two are chillbodies tho no bitches here tn
try executing a diagonal right to left strike/kesagiri from a hasso no kamae stance
free win and its stylish
like this
:)
swing and hold shift simultaneously
Side note idk how you straight block that shit full force. Steel nads right there
it was honestly a gamble
i was half expecting to be cut in half
because that guy does not obey the laws of physics
but aiming for the clavicle/neck area and slicing diagonally downwards is a surefire way to guarantee victory if you don't get hit first
thx
people tend to die when they're killed
Seems like i kinda did a weird mirrored version w unterhau ↗️
let me send some examples it's very straightforward to execute and relies more on timing/precision with the swing than anything else
proper samurai/kenjutsu technique
omfg my boy got an emote all to himself
From the ssbu server 💀
Im spamming that shi every chance I get
my laptop blacked out then i got a fatal error 😔
i wont even bother turning night light back on itll take too long lol
bruh its already 2 am wtf
gn
kin same
Oh yeah you do kendo irl not hema
its my first time doing a siamese character, but i got it looking pretty good
@naive holly do these
A few days ago I was playing the ultimate challenge and my screen suddenly froze on a flashback of a previous fight (I had to restart my pc) 😭🙏
It was so funny though
Like it glitched to some random moment from a fight I had 10 minutes prior and just froze there lol
someone would make a creepypasta out of this if it was 2011
My computer is cursed now gg
true
holy shit im lagging so bad
and then suddenly...willie had BLOODSHOT eyes, and super hyper realistic blood began to come out!!!
i miss those times
DON’T play Half Sword at 3am‼️‼️
One sec im briefly smashing some leftovers then imma hop on and try some out
yeah start from that stance and either bait the enemy into swinging first or be the first one to swing
full force/commitment and make sure it's properly diagonal
I do like gambling with them and beating them out lol
My control is like a 6/10 so well see what I end up with
mastering one strike kills like this will improve your control big time
and have you feeling like a proper samurai with the way you butcher people in one clean swing
Im surprised you dont do more unsheathes but I also imagine that's some media hyped up misconception
But idrk
iaijutsu is legit stuff but it's really not made for full combat
it's only for ambushed and preparedness
Lowkey badass
it's very cool looking
but is usually reserved only for ceremony and showcases/solo stuff
anyone know how to turn off trainer mod? i just installed it but im kinda confused on how to turn off the hud
@naive holly
doing it in half sword is also like a 60-80% gamble because of the way the sheath physics works
Alr im trying these diagonal one taps
my control is like a 3/10
that stance (if you're advanced enough) also allows you to do EVIL parries against willies who try to do left side strikes
i love my abyss run being ended because the enemy gets stuck IN MY HAND and wont despawn
what
you think i didnt try that
@naive holly like this
yeah i do think you didnt try that
its glitched into my hand
because instead of having to actually parry/block the strike the guard already has worked as intended so you just wind up an attack right as they hit you
my half sword is fucking cursed wtf
@shell bronze eh?
and usually for those types of parries you charge up a full vertical instead diagonal to take advantage
there we go
though you had the chance to brutally murder him the first second of the clip already
swing a bit more downwards though
true lol i was fishing for the practice opportunity to whiff punish with it lol
i do notice its kinda your default in a bunch of clips
that parry was short and sweet tho i see the benefit
whiff punishing needs that back and forth motion
fuckinghell i ran into my enemies sword as he was being downed my god 😭
you have to bait and leave their range before they even take their first swing
that's how you fight commoner boss
i once got instakilled because some guy shieldbashed my dagger into my own throat
damn
oh yeah ik i was dancing like a mf for like three seconds before taking dude out
my reaction time just gotta catch up
@floral imp
aint like when i was a lad and we were mlg pro blops players
it's actually a lot less about reaction time
like it does help for those crazy last second parries but really it's not essential to parrying as a whole
which is predictive
like you can see here
why does my enemie's willy just flop around now 😭 i cant fucking win as much now
it flails like players
got dumbified smh my head
im cooking rice in my kitchen rn
and ive gotta novice question for the players so it might be faster to ask here
what tier is the lowest tier which can do the brave stand fights
@naive holly what you do is you observe the certain movesets that they do and get used to where to put your sword to counter them
man at arms/3rd highest
and once you're used to the standing parries you can start doing crouch parries
to give yourself more protection against leg swipes and to pull off some wild stunts like this
my ass is far to stoned for the dojo im realizing
but am having fun figuring it out so thats a dub
do you regenerate limbs in the abyss if you manage to survive long enough or should you just restart if you lose a hand
NO
restart
fuck
do you really play on grotesque i couldnt
one my pc would straight die
makes for funny clips
go ninight forever
i do cuz i like seeing limbs fly off then i get really fucking annoyed when some guy with a cleaver manages to take my entire arm off while i have armour
so real
another tip on punishing misses @naive holly
polearm
don't launch your attack after they swing launch it right as they swing
there's always that delay before willie does what you want
truth to that
so the moment you know they'll throw that wide swing immediately wind yours up
im realizing im better at this side strike from the left, like accurately mirrored idk
My goal every round is to provoke the bot to run at me and then hit them in the head to knock them out
it's still a good diagonal strike
i threw my sword nad it bounced off his helmet into his foot
regardless which side
very peak
if you're better with the left strikes play to your strengths
the goal is to simply kill willie
yeah im like 5 for 5 from the left and i keep getting offed from the right, so well def do that haha
update his foot dissapeared
@naive holly being good with swinging from the left is also how you can fight one handed users the absolute best
still pretty flat but, gettin there
notice how my wind up starts in the middle of their attacks
at the very end when you started dancing i saw my own style in there
very proud of you
literally buhurt i think from the video i saw once
exactly the proper way i would swing and kill
If your opponent surrenders do y’all usually kill them or let them be
depends how much they pissed me off
your sword going towards them also parries those backlash swings that could kill you as they die
little late
no such thing as too late if they die anyways
i kill plançon users
the day i can land 10 outta ten intentional parries imma quit bc i did it
why did i do 10 and ten LMFAO
plancon users deserve death
do not upload videos like me
:( what if its me
people will find something to say
then you needed to use it
it was like 1 or 2 people from what i remember
oh i dont remember that
so i just figured i'll only upload clips when spoken to
dont let the haters win bro
they just hate to hate
they were kind of in the right about the spam so
i think its cool still
i'll only post with context from now
hey clueless can you give me a dozen examples of how to parry
also this is what happens when you try parrying commoner boss more than once or twice @naive holly
yeah
BRUH
happens to me in normal lol
some bs will ALWAYS happen
so whenever someone asks me how to fight commoner i will always firmly and tell them
no
if you are seriously trying to beat the game and want to just get past him do not try to parry him
some dude thought i was cheating w my axe kills on him because on one, he banged me with the flat of the blade, and on the other i got his throat before he connected
holup they fun clips
half sword multiplayer?!
no lmao
o
ask and ye shall receive
perfect examples of how to fight not just commoner boss but everything
like, makes sense why i wasnt bisected
just time it
trying to do the axe and hatchet runs were really fun actually
because theyre perfectly viable
well hatchet is actually better buuut
i should prob watch buhurt videos
i got to MAA before it was bedtime
i like two handed axe bc i have cntrol
nice
@naive holly ready for the first 6 hand selected parry videos
very diverse weapon types being parried
and enemy tiers as well
discord ruined quality
does somebody know what the said about a next update or something like that
next batch of 6 will be selected now, be back
😔
early access is the next update, somewhere in Q4, oct/dec
ok thank u bro
yeye
alright saving these to study lmfao highly goated parries
theyre not complicated, i see the mouse movemnt, just timed so well
and like not panic flicking which is what i try very hard not to do, always feel like the guard is gonna break
anyone else feel like playing at knight tier (2nd to last) has the willy's feel like they have a lot more personality
got a lucky hit
There’s always one guy who’s a tank lol
Takes every hit like it’s nothing
yeah lol
the illies just feel more like real people on knight tho
idk why
willeis*
Yeah I’m what you mean, it’s more realistic
When I play in free mode I almost always play at knight tier
yeah its so cool and fun bro
Certain things are easier for me in first person, idk
@naive holly second half of the dozen
every weapon type parried/otherwise countered with weapon contact in these clips
is this like buhurt?
I chose a loadout with the barbute helmet once and all I saw in first person was gray 
no 7th, not a bakers dozen.....u still cooked ythough
the last one to the baker's dozen is still being picked
yeah lol
in itch.io u see all first person in barbute
I was like hmm yes this will give me fantastic visibility and it was just…
I was flabbergasted
yeah same lol
There’s one helmet at knight tier that essentially gives you full visibility and I can’t for the life of me remember which one it is
They’re all so slightly different
Except the armet
yeah
so cool,,,,...........
i'm saying
it's really nothing too intricate but simply a combination of weapon placement, decent timing, and enough precision to take advantage of the parries
panic flicking usually either kills you or bails you out very well
yeah
a bad habit in half sword is to let the fear of damage psyche you out of holding on to your training or properly learning
Just found this looking thru my shit lmfao viper fast
the best way to fix this is to go practice with no gore and lowest damage setting to yourself until you stop hearing your own flesh get torn up
Feel like one of those trapdoor spiders
practicing with damage against yourself at normal or higher will do nothing but infuriate you
and make you scared of the damage
and because you're worried about the damage you can take you play erratically
Honestly using no pain when im literally just focusing on the weapons. Just practice
there's no shame in learning from ground up
i'm willing to coach and help people get to this point
guys is it me or after a fatal error when i boot up the game every time i run my legs tangle up and stop moving its getting real annoying randomly stopping
I mean irl youre not usually fighting with live blades when training
Like blades like live rounds 💀
lowkey a series of kendo overheads/left swipes would've ended that guy quick
yeah but even then there's the element of anxiety
there's always some degree of adrenaline involved in contact sports
oh yeah you wanna see what divine intervention looks like @naive holly
Hit me
i do i do
guys is there a way to delete my gauntlet mode files to start back from beggar, killing baron again is timeconsuming
so you know how these polearm kills usually go right @naive holly @fierce acorn
never done that but i guess lol
thank
this is what happens when the Lord above decides he's sick of my bs @fierce acorn @naive holly
there is no funnier sight than a guy with their helmet cut in two
Is z the hotkey for that? Like combat lock?
z for lock on yes
use surf and swim over to a truck. use strength on the truck. you should encounter the z key
you can also let go of mouse to immediately release lock on
no not lock on
i mean like when we keep hugging eachother or half sword on eachotheres necks
oh you mean like unbind yourself
yea
kick and try to turn around and/or crouch
Sometimes if that happens to me I just drop my weapon and pick it up again 💀
yeah i do the same
thanks bro ❤️
its a gamble/race on who saws the other in half first
i rather bail out and fight properly
works like a charm
just kicked and looked to the side and got unlcpekd
wrong vid
Lmfao I love the full body snapping sound
was sick tho
Tbh right clicking to go in and ut of halfsword works.
If you do right click, then q, you'll grab even with two handers.
ngl greatsword + buckler is beter than i thouhght it would be
I think I’ve done that before, sometimes that combo kills them too 😭🙏
Disarm
Idk if it’s a glitch or what
Nah its intentional. Your hand is free while swapping grips and grab overides it
