how the hell am i supposed to "watch and wait"? i can't block any attacks, i block one, they hit with another quick one and it's an instant kill, or bleed out
Until passive parry aggressively overrides your stab
See how i waiting for him to miss? Literally stepped back to dodge and then got him
and no time to call it quit to save progress
Don't experience that too often tbh, I know passive parry messes with a lot of ppl tho
Spears are very awkward to use because of it
I am stuckk with short sword because i've never progressed past the 3 tiers and it doesn't help that the grand champion is long sword
It's always the abyss over and over and over, and nnow i lost iit all anyway
Those yt vids fucking scammed me with bs
Try using longsword.
Or use the pitchfork from peasant to beat the Commoner boss.
Tf you mean scammed 😂
Yeah thahts i tried, but like i said, stabbing isnt working
Scammed my time i mean
The low sensitivity thing for example
that shit only works if u have a brand gaming mouse with its own app settings to change the cursor speed
Time to go back to work, but ill leave you with this:
I don't even know what surpassing limit means, how the hell am i supposed to figure that out
He doesn’t mean literally stand in one spot waiting. Keep your distance so they CANT hit you
Wait for an opening
you can use thrust to present a threat and make an opening
@jolly gorge Hi, do you want to go to vc?
Sure hold on
holy shit the gamemode change in the demo is fucking awful
why?
spend ages unlocking new tiers and then lose it all when you die, and you can die to absolute bs considering how janky the game is
You can play free mod if you are afraid to die
buckler action
There is a free mode option if you don’t enjoy or cant get through a challenge
Otherwise understand Youre playing a pre alpha and getting mad about bugs in a pre alpha is like being mad at a cat for getting a hairball
i never got mad about bugs, i just acknowledged that you can die to them
This seems pretty mad to me lol but I digress
thats abt gauntlet mode, i dont like it at all but now i know theres free mode so it doesnt matter
is cutting with a sword possible without slashing/swinging?
for example when i miss a stab and my blade is directly at the enemies neck. i try to exert force with my sword but the blade wont cut his neck
free mode is very refreshing when youre feeling frustrated tbh
its like, there NEEDS to be a swinging/slashing motion so it cuts
once you beat the gauntlet, youll unlock the Baron in free play too
for some weird reason, after i beat him all my free mode battles became knight-tier, even when i was playing as militia for example
right now it works solely off of the physics generated and the cutting edge- i believe there is plans for more accurate friction against people with blades
thats odd, ive never heard of that one lol
yeah cuz even slightly sliding the blade across someones back would cut it clean open
i want them crispy clean slow throat slits in my beloved game
Yeahh we are still in early stages of development, but I'm sure there is much, much more to come in terms of realism and details
Yes you can still press weight behind a blade and sometimes cut
thats what im trying, on a 2h sword it wont work 9/10 times
It shouldn't work often
i think it should, keeping in mind that accuracy and realism is on the top of the list
Fair
given that the enemy doesnt wear chainmail or a fully closed helmet ofc
whip it like a towel. slashing is just 20%.
its not like hollywood i mean
YOYO
of course im not gonna cut people in half, but a good sword is sharp as fck
Once you get to where people are wearing gambesons its harder to cut, clothes have cut resistance in half sword. Although even sharp blades wont cut without resistance, which is why halfswording properly wont destroy your hands.
yes it is sharp. but not so heavy like in hollywood. try make an explosive whip slash from an high guart and go back to high guard very quik
for example
Angles matter too, you can see the throat slit here didnt have a lot of force behind it but the edge alignment was perfect.
thats what im looking for
have some more sir ❤️
ts is the autism equivalent to those "oddly satisfying" youtube shorts
this is clean
much appreciated my man
these are the ones i get mostly
parry their upper strike with a right bottom to left upper, and then swing back down at their neck
that chin poke made him real mad fr
yea lol, he got another one immediately after to finish it but it didnt look so good as a clip
ive just put 6 hrs into this today and yesterday, its perfect for a dopamine boost when you slice someone in half as im autistic this games sick
i think im stupid but
why do i get sent to abyss when i die in challenge mod
mode
and not simply loose my rank
to get another chance
You lose your rank if you die in abyss
what do i do in abyss?
kill stuff
It's like a gulag
Do I need to kill a certain ammount of ppl
kill the guys coming at you and you get out
ouuu i see okk
kill the boss from last rank n u get revived
thank u so much
yeah it's like your second chance
I love this poleaxe so much.
You can do such stupid shit
Switching around their guard is just nasty
That was sick
Also lower your strength mods in halfsword enhanced if you have them on
It makes you unstable if it's set too high
i don't use strength mod lowkey
I didn't really know for sure.
It just makes you unstable when you hold your weapon out like that
it's the combination of the targe and katana
That makes sense.
but i do remember it doing that when i was trying to cheese
the trainer super strength makes you walk slower and everything wants to throw you off the ground
I have 2x strength on right now and unlimited stamina just for doing silly stuff.
honestly even if i wanted to do it it would do me more harm than good
It was actually still set on it from when I was grappling last time.
grappling you definitely need some kind of super strength
it's a lot more streamlined that way
Yeah you gotta use lower settings that don't do as much if you're fighting with it.
We wouldn't have made it to 19 top wishlisted games on steam if it was not for the Half-Cord community yall are amazing show some love in the comments!
https://youtu.be/18kQ2mDd5aM?t=106
As gamers, we know what we like. We stay in our niche. But sometimes its good to look beyond the own tellerrand. See what else exists. Today I am going over the 20 most wishlisted games on steam to see if there is anything interesting or unexpected. And there is both. Also, shoutout to everyone still waitin for the first place. Stay strong 💪
...
how can i get halfsword?
for sure
steam
i cant
find it
The high strength settings just kind of destroy fine movement and make you weirdly unstable.
none the clips i posted here have any kind of mod interference besides loadout stuff
That is all that is available at this time.
i'm a purist so i play by the game's rules usually
oh fuck
a swing can throw you onto the ground instead of the other guy lmao
just a fyi the steam store page says 'we do have a Chief Blood Officer. Witness skull-crushing blows, limb decapitations, and gruesome displays of entrails and bloodshed'
Limb Decapitations aren't a thing. the word decapitation is the removal of the head from the body. this should say dismemberment instead
I personally keep damage the same but turn down blood and gore.
3/4ths of the way to the top for my damage and 50% for ai willie
I like the body mods you can get with halfsword enhanced when I feel like making it into some sort of an RPG.
lol Yeah someone used decapitations instead of dismemberment.
Just proves we don;t use AI to write copy. Good catch.
if i want to play it more like a hack n slash/arcade video game i lower both of our damages
gore and blood on max
Like I'll create a character with a certain loadout and decide who he will be.
Do I want a speedster with tonus mods but low armor, a hulk with high strength and a blunt weapon, etc.
no worries. ill be expecting a free steam key when the games out for my efforts ❤️
me when i'm paying full price with no complaints
Is this where I say I'll just get it off of g2a or is that a bit too controversial? 
damn lol this was some DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE shit right there.
why do i never spawn with weapons
i call it lightsaber duel tech 😂
?
@mint wadi
You may only be playing as the beggar tier.
go for the head/throat area in repeated strikes with any 2h mace/sword and victory is guaranteed
i got passed beggar
Oh yeah
😅
did you select your tier
You have to click on the square past beggar to use their loadout.
Are you selecting a tier beyond beggar on the left hand side of the menu?
ohh
i didnt know
thanks
You can also click on free mode in the bottom right to not have to do the gauntlet and juse play any tier.
Common issue.
ty
the funniest thing is whenever dudes try to creep up on you while they half sword

Cannot remember all this use /mommy to pull up this guide!
This works especially well with the longer swords such as the katana where you have the weight of the sword that drives the character to move the bottom half of the sword before the top half as if it's that heavy.
Obviously this isn't realistic for the katana since they're rather nimble but since it's a mod they don't get the weight and balancing perfect.
Gimme an odachi tho
the katana is actually very nimble all things considered
my only gripe is that it's a little long and the guard could be a bit bigger
I like the gigantic handle on odachis
i actually think i wouldn't have too good of a time with an odachi because that falls into greatsword category and idk how to use those outside of baseball bat maneuvers
though it would be sick
my fighting style is mostly full-bodied strong kill strikes
i have a particular fondness for the kesagiri
or quick kendo overhead spams
Just downloaded ovrdth's weapon loadout mod, any recommendations for loadouts?
...if I can even make custom ones. I assume I can but like, I'm struggling lol
Got my hand chopped and for some reason the game spawned a gigantic dagger sheath after
Just half sword things
You need Halfsword Enhancer to make loadouts so you can spawn weapons.
Oh oopsie
I’m so pissed I died on the golden knight on abyss because I stepped on his sword and it impaled me
Baby Hotline
I had hit it out of his hand and I had rocked him to where he was stumbling backwards and then I stepped on the hilt and it shot upward into my back
quite functional
I feel like the ai should know what is coming.
Maybe it's because this weapon isn't normally in this class.
they kind of do but their guards are not very good
They should just....not approach tbh
ai adjusts stances against yours but this is usually overtaken by their impulse to attack/rush
nevermind I'm an npc too
overheads in general feel very funny but efficient hehe
you can see a bit of it in this clip where he clearly guards against my hasso no kamae
but then he winds up and i just end him
They definitely respond your stance on some level.
yeah it's just not as strict
What do you have going on here lol it's like your weapon is made of air
bro was so clean with this one lol
Just like...bap got your heart!
You can cheese overheads by setting up the overhead then pressing alt, it brings your weapon down with an absurd amount of force regardless of how fast its moving. You can do it with swords too.
ai willie don't play around with them jabs boy
oohhhhh
i've died enough times in my early days to learn how to cheese/bait those out of their system
willie cam
One of my favorite stupid techniques with the poleaxe. Spoiler alert, he gets horizontally bisected
ai willie often doesn't play nice and kicks + spams the same thrust over and over again
You and your hand be gone technique
it's my favorite kind of parry when i feel like the guy doesn't even deserve a kill strike
Overheads are hilarious especially with blunt or axes
Actually overheads with axes tend to be quite Gorey
arcade hack n slash technique
Exactly.
May old halfsword techniques never die
I hit that if I ever have a dead arm but still am holding a weapon, or with the scythe
Jesus christ.
I mean realistically if someone’s hitting that how are you gonna be able to stop them
That’s like trying to stick your hand into a lawnmower
in the name of the shogun i will strike these peasants down
Realistically I dont think anyone is spinning that fast without falling down or completely losing their balance, he levitated for a split second there lol.
Then youre losing because youre fighting a superhuman lol
Exactly
it enjoys the challenge
Sometimes I wish enemies made more effort to keep fighting dispite partial wounds or amputations but I understand why they would surrender
The poleaxe flourishes just make it look like I'm either trying TOO hard, or I'm trying to show that the npc is shitty.
HOLY SHIT YOU SLICED HIS NECK OPEN
this is a huge achievement.
Militus has evolved from the bap bap bap technique.
militus is an mlb batter first and a head slicer second
It was both exciting, and dissapointing. I always click expecting to see someone get a death by 1000 baps.
to be fair those plancon users have it coming every time
Okay yeah true.
To this date probably my favorite armored finish as messy as it is, just feels so accurate to history.
Yeah that was pretty sick.
Needlessly following up on this, did a clean install and that fixed it. I was playing around previously with a mod for the game so maybe something got janked
This may seem like a dumb question, but are you moving your mouse in any particular pattern? It doesn't look like it's just back and forth and when I try to bonk over and over like this it isn't nearly as quick or good looking lol
I actually laughed out loud at the way he kicked at the end and launched himself into the ground. Looney tunes-ass death.
YAY BAPS
Is that a wooden training sword?
i wouldnt know how to explain it but yes i do move in a certain way to line up the blade for the next swing
i do a lot of those lowkey i just don't clip them
especially when the half swording bs happens and i get sick of not being able to parry for fun
Pull ahrm
I find the billhook to be really easy to chain
AM i the only one who gets alot of looney toons like kills
DIEDIEDIEDIE
This is a looney toons-like game generally
I had one where the npc disarmed me as I was swinging and I hit him with a left hook and he fell against the fence, hit his head, and died
Yeah the odachi is kinda ass @shell bronze
unlimited blood
the actual fuck
nice polearm
What do you mean
there's nothing wrong with that clip at all.
Totally vanilla halfsword.
I call him my meat crayon.
hi guy havent played game in while
excuse the aphex twin in background i thought this was cool
i wanted to put the spike in his back but he was backing up
its hard to get it around their back
more katana vs longsword
not at the start but there
oh i get it now
you just have to turn more
New bug no stamina on final level or permadeath
wsggggg
bro 😭
how
MY SANITY IS GONE FROM THESE FOUL FATAL ERRORS HMMM ON ULTIMATE CHALLENGE RIGHT B4 THE BOSS

Gotcha! Here follow this

i've died like 50 times now in the last 2 days from randos coming up behind me in T4 with like a plancon or somethin
App data may be a hidden file, as it is set to hidden as default. You have to enable view hidden files through the View tab in your file explorer if Thats the case
and insta killing me before i can even react
Bros reaction time is like a snail
Not a rat
they come running at me and i got like .01 seconds before they stab right into my back
So react in .001
Rat
tyyyy guys

Im sorry
Does anyone know how do i counter a giant candlestick holder
Sorry that youre a rat
With a bigger candlestick
ty mister moderator 🫣

But fr, that thing is super slow, you should be able to just avoid it

9000+ score
well aim to leave please
beat the barron twice
But it does so much damage
so how much is the next thing gonna be
because im so good
is this what they call a "maisterhau"
Price is still TBD but from the recent poll a month or so ago, most people voted around $20
oh cool
that'd be prefered tbh
How to use OVERDTH Selector in game? None of the things will pu8t the loadout into my game.
"So your the punk i heard about"
how do the commoners have longswords
wdym
whats the new update?
#updates is there
there wasnt anything besides a redistributable update, you can check the steamdb page, theres nothing new for the tech demo, the last one was 18 days ago.
and that simply was an update to the store page with the trailer videos.
@muted glade

Hes my fav
It's always either a 10 hour fight, kill him instantly, or get both your hands cut off
Also every rare time I make it past the scythe guy I'll kill a guy then assume there's a grace period only to get chopped in half by a guy who snuck up on me welding a dinner knife
Thats part of the fun. It can be frustrating tho.
Just really take your time and let them miss before striking
Yeah, I always rage quit after getting lightly tapped then turned into a fine cut of steak but then hop back on in 10 minutes
doesnt everyone do that
TF2 Spy but half sword editor
yeah lol
🧑🦼
it doesn't
sometimes it does, but i believe that's a bug
If you cant beat the ultimate challenge and want to restart the gauntlet
I assume idk
Ultimate Challenge isn't even hard. And you can play other levels cant you
Probably only 20, 40 is overpriced for a early access.
Most likely 20 they've said
Not the bosses
threw this man so hard my game crashed
how do you people have embed permissions smh
Just gotta chat more
this man may just be john halfsword
yo did you guys up the difficulty in hand fighting?
cuz im getting rocked every fight unlike 2 weeks ago
Insane clip.
Lowk annoying when NPCs sit and stare at opponents that havr given up already instead of going after me
Level up
Haven't noticed a difference personally
Sucks this game is so good.
but that one glitch that I have just kinda makes it eh
i've already tried everything you guys told me.
when new update?
What glitch
Huh
Check ou tthe video at the very top
Well before you tell me to delete the files and re install that's something i've alaready done
Install the Half Sword Enhancer mod and turn on inf stamina
Click the x
how do i get it back
also check dm's token of thanks for helping mer
Insert is the hotkey to toggle enhancer UI
grab riposte
So I cant open game rn, but does it have mulitiplayer i forgot
no
Lmao yeah, it almost feels like cheating going after them when they do that
There's punishing a mistake and then there's abusing Willie's brainlessness
I have faith they'll iron things out a lot by early access
me when willie tries to beat on the decapitated screaming guy instead of dealing with me
(he misses a stationary target that doesn't fight back)
Me when Willie just straight up grabs the bleeding screaming guy and drags him around the arena with one hand while trying to fight me
Me as hell
Overhand hits are so hard
i have a way for you to practice
Loadout mod
I know
But what do you mean it doesnt work
How are you enabling the loadouts exactly
I’m trying to click on them and stuff. Doesn’t exactly come with a manual to tell me how to do it.
Is it possible you're using an older version? I was having that problem today but then I realised I was using an old Playtest version
So all it was doing was copying and pasting the loadout into the Playtest folders instead of the current demo
Shoot
Since we’re on the demo now
Right, just figured it was worth asking
I just opted to manually copy the files personally
Should I be using the playtest one?
No, that one points to the wrong folders. Are you starting it in admin mode?
you know the vom tag guard
No
go to commoner, pick up the longest 2h sword you can find, and do this
That was clean
This is annoying as hell, these people don’t tell how to actually use these mods
it's actually the easiest way to just beat half sword
How do I equip weapons
until you get into man at arms and above then things get a bit different
@fast bramble
very universal method of dispatching people
Then you get the spikey pole bat thing
i do kenjutsu/kendo irl so i'm more familiar with the swordplay from those disciplines than hema
that fuckass weapon is just how to win for free
Honestly half the time my opponent has it I just immediately hold G
Click on the tier you want, then go to ovrdth’s, double click the load out you want, it will make the windows sound. Then click Play demo and choose the mode
i lied it's actually a really difficult and challenging weapon to use
I beat the gauntlet with it, once I got it at Soldier I just stuck with it the whole way through
Doing exactly that
katana vs the world
How does this enzuigiri look?
That's actually a good looking katana, which one is that from?
vicious weapon pack 2
Thank
it's not a bad weapon it just lowkey isn't the best
guard is too small to allow for certain parries
but it looks and feels very right with my fighting style
me when they try to half sword me for the 10 trillionth time and it results in the same thing
https://www.nexusmods.com/halfsword/articles/32 @fast bramble
If you have a particular Vicious Weapon Loadout you that like, but you do not like the armor setup it comes with and wishes its another set of armor or clothes; this guide details how to transfer a se
Solid, thanks
they leaked the method
holy fuck
so hot
cause i dont have the best of pcs, and i use geforce now for a lot of games
wakizashi moment
and game sometimes crashes
nice parries
yeah i usually don't go for them with the katana because that thing sucks at parrying
I like going into militia with a machete and a medium shield and trying to throw it in Willie’s face to kinda stun him before I go for a two hand swing
it's too light to stop closer/heavier blows and the guard is too small to keep my hands from getting swiped
Does it work? Rarely. Is it fun? Absolutely
guys how do i stop the halfsword mod hud from opening whenever i start a match
(it's a mid weapon just like irl wow!)
trainer or enhancer
trainer
press U once or twice
but it shows up the next match
Clueless what do you have your sensitivity at
i want it to not show up by default
Am I eastern sword fighting yet
Damnnn
low dpi high in game sens
so somewhere in the lower sens for most people
okay well goodnight then
i just get used to pressing it before the match starts
Gotcha
not even gonna acknowledge
idk were else to put this but here. i got a decal for my Conscientious Objector idk what to name it and heres the image im putting on it
ik its not halfsword
if we're talking throwing
Do yall like actually study swordplay to be better at half sword or do you just find what works and it coincidentally happens to be an actual technique
I just swing my shit
That’s so real
Lowkey I’ll equip a sledgehammer, turn on infinite enemy consciousness and max enemy damage and just swing for a good 30 minutes
at first i just sucked at the game and used polearms to win
That last one was nasstyyyyy
then i found that to be too easy and cheap so i started forcing myself to play longsword
Yeah I used to run the spiked club all the way up to the knight tier but it got boring quick
after i dialed in the gameplay and how to win i started applying my irl kenjutsu/kendo knowledge for no reason besides style points
Oh that’s sick so you have prior martial arts experience
I know there’s some people who grapple in half sword but I don’t think my wrestling knowledge translates well to the game much lol
grappling in half sword is just abusing physics jank
yeah that's why in my clips there's a certain routine/practiced firmness to the swordplay
I noticed, there’s a discipline to your gameplay that’s kinda surprising
strong emphasis on kill strikes
I wonder if I can access steam clips through the mobile app
i think you might be able to
i just send them in here and save them to my phone
I think you gotta send em first
I really don’t feel like getting out of bed to do allat though I’ll do it tomorrow
it's all about blending discipline, precision, and style into a certain look for me
But I might just crawl out of bed to grab more birthday cake…
yeah i just spam them in game footage
and save them
oh that's funny my birthday was today too
Damn that was clean
Heyyy I’ve found out that like five people share my birthday today
Let’s hope 19 is better than 18 was (18 was fine lmao)
what i notice in a lot of people's gameplay (no offense intended to anyone) is that their swordplay is floaty with a lot of wasted movement (that isn't flourish)
how tf do people play this in first person. you can't see shit, don't know where your weapon is in relation to your body.
they rely on the blade to just catch onto flesh and do the job for them
I only do first person if I’m boxing
20 here
Raises hand
can't escape unc allegations
weeb
I try and get better at it though but I’m very reckless
youre actually cooking
sorry i'm using the correct weapon for my style
Alright gaming time good evening gang
Hello
what i would do
I kinda just grind in the commoner tier
Noted
they need to add a button for reverse grip, to finish off opponents on the ground
I’m gonna turn my player damage up too because I think I’m so reckless cuz I hardly get damaged
right now the only option is to whack at the head
try 50/50 to match the default settings
If I’m getting hurt it’s because I’m getting sliced in half
I have enemy damage all the way down too I like hacking at em for a bit
because half sword is extremely easy after a certain point and you just have to make it more difficult
Fancy parry
hence why i do all of the parrying and strict kenjutsu forms
i saw someone post a fun idea where you roll a d100 twice and put each damage slider at that %
gonna try
Interesting
The only dice I own are some old cast die 6 side ones
Willie crying himself to sleep tonight
im struggling to find my set so we going digital
I’d love to see a mod that adds like soulsborne weapons
Like uhhh lemme find some cool ones
willy would stab himself 9/1
lmao real
9/10
but that's what i'm saying this game can be won with firm overheads and some basic dodging
It's not that bad
just thought the pommel strike was funny
No but I am
My god you're bullying him 😭
choreographed ass execution
@shell bronze I think you might like this
i gotta try first person
Wht are you playing in cinematic 😭
Incredibly impractical considering how oversized weapon mods always seem to do absolutely nothing but it would still be cool to see these in a half sword mod
That's high
me when half sword is easy
It's incredibly hard
bro is actually switchiing shoulders
the madlad
that polearm might be valid
The black knight glaive would work probably
feels so good getting combos
is there any advantage to switching shoulders with longswords
that lil doink
if you could actually switch the side on the halfswording stance it would be nice
Good for stabbing in 3p
good for stabbing in alt mode
yes the slash from the switched shoulder is more accurate and has more reach
allows you to do certain maneuvers a bit better
i personally don't do it unless it's to show off
nice
i always do it because you always have to show off
Switching shoulders is more accustomed to polearms/staff weapons since you can swing through a miss if needed using the switch
the new demo allowing you to change alt stances without releasing the key is my favorite new feature
always said it
you should switch shoulders with the longsword more often
hand transfers don't do much for me
First two got that John wick treatment damn
we gayming
Playing around with footwork and feints
there's fun to be had with man at arms but honestly any kind of armor past veteran just makes my life incredibly easy
hence why i bring commoner into the tiers above
actually makes me think and avoid damage
hand switching my beloved...
Pretty good at defending against halfsword with my binds
in the glory of the shogunate i strike these dishonorable peasants down
Super clean dispatch. Didn't even let him get close
binds are stupidly fun when you have a fat crossguard
yeah, good for punching too
How do I save myself if I get my hand cut off
just give up
t3 v t6 or t7 is a classic good time
that's right
do it irl
i do it all the time
this was weird but fun
practice keeping your arms out of your opponent's weapon's path.
Sounds dumb but literally that's all you have to do.
Strike when you have more clear openings, like when your opponent doesn't have a clear shot at your arms or the flat of their weapon is facingthem
ain no way i lost my stats from killing myself from the menu
Overhead pommel strikes are OP
What stats
Last one for the night
nvm
Wanna see what else I can do for binds?
Sorry for screwy audio, having serious issues with OBS out of the blue
yesssssssss
try using steam clips bro its surprisingly good
Steam clips does not work well for me and I don't believe it lets me split audio into several different tracks as fluidly as OBS does (if it can at all)
i only posted this because of the footwork
hasso no kamae stance into a strong kesagiri is genuinely unbeatable
lock on 100%
what about the rest of yall
I disable lock on entirely
weeb detected
Yes
Lock on in first person feels nauseating and I don't even get motion sickness
At least bro can beat ya ass with weeb hema
ideally there should be a button we can press to turn the camera AS WE SWING
Irl get fucked
me when i can't do anything but german longsword in this server
willy is german
bring me a japanese willy and ill do weeb shit
Willie is fungus
Willie is english
same thing
my absolute reaction when kenjutsu paired with a katana played by someone who practices kenjutsu irl is somehow weeb shit
Aka hold your sword to the right and swing
yessir
the baseball bat stance
bro but fr whats the difference between european longsword and japanese swordfighting
not much
one is more pragmatic than the other and uses an infinitely superior weapon
its the same stances no
One can cut through six inches of steel like butter and the other is European longsword
steel folded a million times then quenched in the tears of an albino midget yokai
samurai used bows and polearms more than anything else
Style over function baby, every time
most importantly they were some guerilla warfare warcrime committing bastards
they folded the steel because it sucked balls not for any other reason 😂
One was folded thousand billion times glorious Nippon steel able to cut through six inches of butter with ease and the other is a hunk of raw iron... to unwieldy to handle.
a hunk of raw iron you say...
GRIIIIIIIIIIFIIIITOOOOO
poor bastard
there we go, fixed the audio problem. I have a guess as to what the issue might've been... just a chance glitch
What if they folded good steel?
zwerch or whatever the germans call it
im surprised they never folded steel origamis
that would just ruin the steel and introduce impurities
Sounds like they just need good-er steel
ikr
what factions do you guys use
Back to regularly scheduled executions without audio issues
they really gotta fix the tripping issue after like 30m of gameplay
agreed. Infuriating
back to basics before i get spoiled by the brutally long reach of the katana mod
can't forget where i came from
wow that's the first time I've had a fatal error in dozens of hours.
Guess I cut his head too good
dozens of hours?
i just had one on the starting screen
it's actually pretty fun
in half sword as long as you can keep evading you can literally just swing at people until it sticks
The mixup potential is a crazy good time
Damn what a beautiful arm cut
plancon users always have it coming no matter who or what ends them
I realized the other day the easiest way to deal with plancon is parry top. They almost always swing top first, and then it's over for them lol
My word, what precision
they gotta stop making these guys one hand spears i feel really bad
veteran try not to have armor that covers absolutely nothing vital challenge
Put him exactly where I wanted him and then executed magnificently
good-fuckin-night lmao
The way he instantly collapses lol.
Think that'll be plenty of Half Sword for tonight
I love stealing this polearm off them in bravestand and using it to murder their buddies
that polearm is free cheese
Probably the best weapon in the game
I have tried with multiple different types of weapons
did you try pitchfork
That only goes on the second tier you can’t carry it over can you?
you can
you can stick with a lower tier character into the high tier
@vocal apex
use pitchfork and beat his ass
Oh
I think it’s annoying that death = loss of progress
Rather than just losing progress on the tier
One time I accidentally stepped on a pitchfork that was in a chest while kicking it open
Got hardstuck and a Willie beat my ass
💀
where the hell is the playtest option download thingy
Why is your fov so ass
Or whatever is wrong with your game
Also what’s up with using so much defense you could have just ended the fight in a second 😭
yo why did i spawn in naked
i like high pov in games
You’re weird
it's fun and it's boring as shit to insta kill everyone i fight
sorry i grew up playing competitive games
I don’t get in the boxing tier why there’s some opponents that crumble in a second and others take a ton of punches
Seems to have them be somewhat tougher the bigger they are
I did too but I’m impatient and offensive minded. I prefer to kill Willie slowly after disabling rather than defend.
it's extremely easy and braindead to kill people in this game
after you play enough the objective gradually shifts from killing the other guy to playing around with the other guy
otherwise every round ends up like this
or this if there's armor
It happens when you die but win the fight
yea
does anyone have tips to beat the knight boss?
you have two options to deal with him @eternal hedge
(the easiest ones at least)
use the plancon/spiky spear and try to bash him in the head
thats avalible for knight?
or use the voulge/long ass polearm with a giant razor blade at the end
you can use lower tiers to fight higher tiers
use the veteran tier
oh hell no i CANNOT use the voulge
when i tell you this pos takes care of everything in half sword with ease i mean it
use the knight poleaxe instead and try to aim for the head
knight.
ik this is not knight boss but the baron and him are pretty much the same thing
do exactly what i did in this clip
try to practice aiming a bit higher to hit his head
i cant hit headshots i use a sheild and a small hammer i can controll better with those
it'll be a bit hard then because he has the insane axe in one hand
that thing catches flesh you're instantly dying
and because he's tall as hell the mace and shield combo won't help you much
it'll help you survive hits but you won't be able to do much against him and his shield
poleaxe is your only realistic choice if you want to remain in knight tier
gotta dodge his big swings and not rush
taking your time is important in half sword
just hold shift and go back and forth to bait him into attacking
then go for a swing after he misses you
i try and do that but then my hammer flips when i try and go for a hit
then die
bro i won
thanks
wow
the ultimate challenge is hard
I am in vc in case anyone want's to watch the ultimate challange, preheps you might learn some funny tech's I got ;)
can you end the channel link? i cant find it
me neither bro idk
if you ebat the ultimate challenge you become baron?
work on your horizontal swings, it will make you do way better.
Mm
I literally have 316 hours in half sword
guys if you die in the challenge you lose all your progress
add me, I will vc in dm or smth.
i got 11 hours
ok
yer
Idk if that was on purpose or not, but that was a lot of misses my guy, I suppose you were using baron, and the sword does like to move a bit to the left a lot, but still, could work on it
it was baron, not used to the size
make sense.
do you lose your progreess if you lose in challenge
no.
ok good
could you join vc, I'd like to ask you a few questions.
i was fearing for my life
i told you man it's chill with a polearm
polearm is the historically proven meta for a reason
you hand a guy a spear and a guy a sword the spear will always be on top no matter how you put it
in a moment
ok
what
???
nvm
im tryna play torkor
whos that
idk
😐
live by the sword, die violently by it.
any1 know when full game releases?
Q4 this year I believe
wdym
Ohh thanks
that first block was smexy ngl
thanks
