Resident evil kinda scary for me ngl
i love re but resident evil 7 is scary asf
like butter
woah
now THIS is the real abyss
Gm, this guy can eat shit and die, as always
Yeeeah gotta level up in the server by talking or posting in any of the channels
re4 remake is a good game
it got me to put my leon cosplay together after years of procrastinating

Is this a mod or smth else
I see no flaw here just using the games mechanics to the best of your abilities very impressive
NPCs are very predictable though. That's how you can learn to bully them so effectively.
As for swordplay and anticipating how to parry, it's knowing your own weapon just as much as your enemy's.
Maneuvering to protect yourself from the enemy's lane of attack, whether shielding with armored arms, crossing off a path with your blade, or pinning them and denying any effective movement.
There's a lot of stuff that goes into it and playtime does help, but knowing what to practice helps even more
I agree. you are using a lot of random techiniques in a poor way, trying to use the techiniques in a bad time for them and managing to win, with lots of injuries
I do think you should be using more horizontal strikes.
I am supressing their arm movement with downward force.
A horizontal strike is also how I killed them in the end anyway
Yes, but that horizontal strike could have been your first strike aswell and if you hit it, there would have been no difference.
Here you go. Be satisfied
Good
Now show me you know how to bind and parry effectively
Thank you king or queen or they
I don't play with great swords too often so that isn't my playstyle. I use knifes, small axes, and double handed glaives, and sometimes double handed axes or swords.
Sure. There's plenty of people here that can help if you have questions.
I read a tiny bit of the replies under you, I used Arrow Time to really start learning to parry. It's in the normal game if you hit F
I have to use HS enhancer because whenever I use slowmode my stamina drains really fast
yeah Arrow Time is meant to be timed at the right moment.
Oh
It's still incredibly cheaty lol
I didn't even know slowmode existed until some dude mentioned it tbh
Question, what is your opinion on the hoe??
honestly, don't really like it, probably just a skill issue on my side tho.
I can use most weapons and enjoy them, but I've just been longswording because of a persistent footwork bug that makes using heavier weapons really difficult for me
Hoe is just strange. It holds weird but because of how you hold it, you have stupendous downforce
yeah honestly
My playstyle is either get a clean hit on them then fuck around with them until they die, or I just set the damage to max and break all their bones with my fists
welp, that's unforunate.
It does suck, but until then I'll just get good at longsword
I cant use spin kicks
so I just grapple fight sometimes, (kinda ez honestly) and just perfect knives.
Knife op
these little stabs, feels so good to hit them
I don't get what happend there lmao
I thrust the point of my blade right under his chin into his throat
yap
I don't typically do "stabbing" with alt mode. I usually use momentum and regular arm manipulation to slide and stab
I've messed with alt stabbing, but this just seems to work better for me
same.
Knifes work with momuntum way to well :3
#game-footage-🎮🎥 Mmmm punch
There would be like fireguns in HalfSword? (Obviously firguns of the time, the first one)
armored gauntlet mode is easier then begin
its fucked how often i die early tiers compared to high
my 5060 ti finally arrived and my 128gb of ram i can run this game now
it holds like a weird longsword
w h a t
breaking bones with kicks is hella fun ngl
the dent is massive.
i didnt know kicks leave dents
i thought only on the first early release of demo like the upgraded one
nah, it was a cut and I posistioned my camera to make it look like a dent.
one time first time the new demo was released i kicked a guy in the head and his head exploded
you could dent in early release of demo
i think at one point instead of denting it was popped
the head just popped
yeah yeah
i kicked him in the head and it fucking exploded
they need to add this back as a feature
but shouldnt be done with a kick
when the game was really wonky and ragdolls were very stiff
if you put your damage slider to max
your finger was a literal poison arrow
just one tap
and in the demo i think willie didnt yelp or anything if he died
i had a png of popping a guy's head with a really good jab
but it's gone
you do fist play in halfsword?
nah it was abyss old build
my hand was covered in blood and his head was gone
i'll try the itch.io build
i killed the baron and then my progress for that part got reset now i gotta beat him again 💔
seems like it could bring back that
i was talking about the first release of the demo like the upgrdaded one
i recommend using halfsword
halfswording just op
grapple
have you made it all the way to purple shirt yet?
it hits 75% of the time
yeah, i beat him it just reset my progress for purple shirt guy, i just gotta do that part again and hope i dont get a fatal error
I just used a polearm and bopped the top of his head lol
purple shirt is impossible if you get a good run going the game crashes itself
nah it crashes on purpose I think
theres an account on tiktok named "john half sword" and he uses the half sword enhancer to do a primary lotus on willie 💔
Nah it's just hella unstable lmao
it crashes for everyone
The way I beat the ultimate challenge was by turning blood completely off
oh
is your pc old
Yeah that stops it from crashing
is that the trick
Yes
if it is turn up gore to 20% everything else off or to the lowest except resolution
nah I have 2 PCs a ryzen 9 9950X3D rtx 5090 build and a ultra core 9 285k 4090
that's probably the best pc
yea
both my PCs are great I mainly use them for music production or minecraft
and I love gorey horror games or rogue like games
half sword tickles my brain in a way by which I can not stop playing it
dw gng, gore is coming back, probably by early access hopefully they can show more gore.
theres actually some unreleased sneak peeks
wonder where that is rn
big knife
what mod could this possibly be
Hmmmm
Oh you were asking?
It's half sword enhancer.
alright thanks, ive seen some crazy stuff from that mod
i watched a guy suplex someone after throwing him above the arena 💔
John Halfsword the beloved.
shut up

gett better lmao
nuh
has anyone even seen this weapon outside of the abyss?
nah
stop it
im trying to do the thing john half sword does but my guy just lets go of him, i have my grab force set to 10
we tryna rofl with our friend channel
nah the world aint spinning around u
i decided it does
brain rot
still want to know
says the one playing roblox for over 4 hours
shush
played for more
once
not a flex lmao
setting scale to -1 is fun
He's called John Halfsword got a reason.
Nah though, I seriously don't know how he does it.
Turn the tonic thing to 100 trust
did they ever release the results for that pricing poll they did?
Same for this one
i've seen both of these in the abyss but i don't recall them being in spoilance or anything
how do i make it to where i dont start flailing around whenever i super jump
i wanna airstike willie
why does my sword go fully through this guys neck but his head stays on
not even a almost fully armored opponent can do anything against the spam swinging
like sawing through
if theyre armoured i always use rmb
i only use rmb if im also armored
if i were to rmb the enemy Willie wouldve likely managed to cut me in half with the axe by accident
i shouldve said "cut me in half with the axe by axident"
does he look like an ordinary Willy?
how have you split him down the middle
he looks like a HALF WILLIE
Watch Untitled by timidfiggy and millions of other Half Sword videos on Medal. Tags: half sword
when im in the ultimate challenge the first guy will have a kitchen knife
and the second guy then has a whole sword
and im just cooked
so what?
cause if ive only got a cleaver i cant reach him withouft dying
bru
💀
yeah i can beat axes and hoes by getting past the blade
but with the sword its all blade
so its harder
if the first guy you fight also has a knife, just restart til the first one has smthn you can use to beat the sword guy
ok
you can also go into freeplay and play as commoner, pick one that has a sword/mace and dagger
and then throw away the sword/mace
and only use the dagger
to learn how to beat them with shorter weapons
from time to time i can beat commoners without a weapon at all
i always pick swords as a commoner
why cant i friggin send photos
how do i ghet level 3
msg
i think theres a small cooldown on getting exp
ok thanks
but if you just msg every minute or so you can get lvl 3 in a day or so
same
i wanted it to kill me
the two handed sickle is really weird
yes
it just feels like youre holding it the wrong direction
you just want to hold it like a axe, but you cant
because it's a sickle
Watch Untitled by timidfiggy and millions of other Half Sword videos on Medal. Tags: half sword
it's basically being used as if this is what it looked like
with the sickle just hit them with a back swing
it's basically just a long version of the worst weapon in the game
or wait
it's a long version of this
worst weapon in game is the shield
...because its not a weapon
yup
you can use it as one however
forced a enemy to hit themselves in the head with their own weapon by bashing them with the shield
marvelous absolutely spectacular we have a man of brilliance here
a man of culture

hey guys i have a question. Im like at the end of the ultimate challange but i can't beat it so i want to restart as beggar how do i do it?
you can turn npc damage to max and your damage to 0 and try it with that
Where can i chainge that?
oh
now i see it
and what foe settings would u recomend?
i just punched a guy out of existence
literally what happened LMAO
that too
Do keep in mind that also removes the baron from freemode right
wait does it
Hello
oh is that how i do it?
Its called a farmers billhook, they were primarily used for trimming branches. It may look weird, but that is how they were held haha
Hopefully in the future we will be able to use a reverse grip with it to use the more choppy side :p
Best way rn!
i got another problem tough
Wassuh
Yea ik lol
I luv tall
i might have deinstaled the game and deleated it out the trashbin to reinstall it
-and now i somehow cant install it
it would be cool to have reverse grip for the 1 handed choppy billhook too
I'm sorry but if i see an opportunity to be a nerd about weapons I will seize such opportunities
same
Alternate grips are planned, will not be implemented before Early Access.

Legend says he's still falling
Hey ladiesman
hello b o b u
Ty it worked
I would, but we have had a lot of previous issues with people which made us have to implement a levelling system. You're almost level 2, which will unlock gif/image perms 🙂
Level 3 unlocks VC too
Oh thanks for info man
You can check /rank in #stat-rank-check to see your level, you level up just by idly chatting 
Luv you
No worries man, tis what I'm here for 
😭
Ladiesman217 is carrying everybody here
are you username ladiesman217
Ladies man best mod?
please vote for me for annual top mod award 2025
Ofc brochipo
and definitely do not vote for @soft osprey he doesn't deserve it
Who is even is he
but what grapic shold i choose?
rock
it looks like a rotten potato
Anything but cinematic 💔 your computer will turn into a jet engine
you can try running it on dx12 and see how your PC handles that. Dx12 applies Lumens and shaders, which can sometimes bog up the pc
what about framerate displaymode resolution and all that?
and definitely do NOT use cinematic on DX12 because your computer might genuinely implode and cause a huge black hole in your room
I personally get better performance and visuals in full screen.
Keep vsync on usually for halfsword, even tho most games you wanna turn that off
i hate sir of moai

btw what fov is the best?
im surprised i never got bugs on the old demo
no I'm actually having resident good
like never ever
if you use first person much, crank it up, other than that it's really personal preference
first person with high fov is goated man
That was a glitch you could recreate by holding the farmers billhook sideways then pressing X, it used to sometimes just.. send you out of the stratosphere
Doesn't work anymore sadly
it does make me a bit more picky with loadouts though
i never had seen any willie anomaly sightings
ok so u told me to to enable VSync and run DX12 and what about Framerate, displaymode and Resolution?
8 Views - Watch Untitled by SabertoothGiraffe and millions of other Half Sword videos on Medal. Tags: half sword
you can try dx12 but it might work better with dx11. All depends on your rig.
Framerate and resolution also depend a lot on your monitor and such, match your resolution with your monitors res. (Should be set proper by default usually)
?? Wdym
im not at home but i can send you or stream it to you
this is the minimum helmet fov I can comfortably play with
Fucking hell he used his telekenesis
anything below that and it becomes hard to parry stuff
yeah send me it !
this is some God of war shit
I loved that glitch lmao
When you can haha
oh
this one too
that was fun telekinesis as well
too bad i couldnt get it to work anymore
well idk that much about grapics and pc and stuff but ik i got a Dell G2724D monitor
it says 2560 x 1440 Pixel , 27"
that should be your resolution to set in halfsword then 🙂
I'd lock framerate at 60 or 120, sumn like that. Sometimes setting it to unlimited with vsync on can cause slight stutters
it'll all really depend on your PC usually. If you go in full screen and it lags, try setting the graphics one level lower
Willie is learning magic now
good thing I stopped his hand from getting to me
he would have cast burning hands on my face
anyone know a fix or mod for a better lock-on system
tired of being forcefully turned away from the dude caving my cranium into the ground so i can stare at 2 people fighting with chairs
u can chainge lock in Strengh in settings
doesnt rlly help tho does it, just changes how intensely you stare at one person but not the constant jumps between enemies
if that doesn't work then ask Username Ladiesman217 hes the goat
usually I disable lock on when im in carnage
like when I have to fight one dude with others behind
I reenable it when I get back down to a 1v1
still clunky
but better
Add bucklers
idont even understand how youd do that they are constantly always moving around
fr dude i been waiting on this since launch
Yeah it would be so cool if they added them
btw when is the full game releasing?
never, only halfsword2
8 years give or take
could be 8 years more than that, could be 8 years less
or something in between
so before gta 6?
depends, does GTA 6 release before or after Silksong?
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 😂 😂 😂
That was such a knee slapper! Get it? Because GTA6 will never release!! 😂 🫱 🧎➡️
this game needs a button toggle to turn the camera instead of having to release the mouse
Nah mate they confirmed it will release after the first trumpet of revelation happens
They should add horses so then they can call it mount and blade when it releases
I'm definitely buying the DLC: axe
oops my schlongpoint guard was a bit too long
they should ACTUALLY add fred E Fiber so they can call it five nights at fivebears
yknow, theres a reason hes called willie.. William Afton anyone?
Five knight: freddy
YES!
real
so apparently the original video got wiped off of youtube, if i ever do find the full original version i will reupload and link it in this description
exactly, i just cant think of how they'd fit it into the movement mechanics already, so i see the struggle w it for the devs
mouse wheel click could unlock the camera while still moving i guess
ive been on the internet for a solid decade, seen most of all the abhorrent videos that went around, liveleak, plenty of unspeakable shit. but this has to be sincerely one of the worst pieces of digital content ive ever bared witness to
well said
ill be saving it for later though cause its so shit its funny
Mate you've CLEARLY been on the internet for no more than a year if you think this tops the verbalace 50k incident
Early Access releases Q4 this year. So, sometime between October and December.
that shits pretty light
im just saying, all that incident is was a goober that got rich and blew it all on... yeah really nothing
i cant functionably wrap my head around why someone would put 50k into that
Mate he paid a minor to make a softcore porn animation of him and an animated character
50 grand too
IT WAS A MINOR
as someone who's been around the internet for almost twenty years
that's light work
Let's not be discussing this in a public chat, yeah?
not the place.
Yeah you're right
yeah i was gonna say it shouldnt be a one up of internet content, that devolves fast xD
Im gonna discuss it i my private nsfw gay server

not trying to be a dick but if it devolves like we have seen before, things could be said that could genuinely get the server taken down lol. Discord takes that stuff serious, even if people are joking 
febby fabear
no controversy allowed, only gore. silence yourself immediately @scenic quail
For me dx11 runs a lot better than dx12
i have a gtx 1070
yeah it'll depend on a lot of things. Generally tho, dx11 is more stable
Discord is too incompetent to care tbf
fredy fabreese ?
But you're right, better not to stick it in an ant hill
yeahhh i aint gonna lie discord doesnt care as much as ppl say they do but definitely not worth finding that out
anyways uhh
you would be surprised. I've seen someone get their account restricted for quoting old vines like "im (insert TOS breaking age here) so shut the fuck up"
Its actually wild
on this idea, i was thinking itd be cool to have a button to change lock-on targets rather than a moving camera option, even with other buttons itd be hard to look around and swing at the same time
I reported a discord server where people said slurs and passed around gore videos and it's still up
Granted that means someone reported them for quoting that, but I'm not even gonna begin to touch that one lol
sounds like discord 
oh and also the geometry dash incident
too busy trying to find ways to add loot boxes and make people pay for stuff
My Willie go zoom

they have to add more features nobody asked for to justify charging $112/year for nitro
remember when people moved from skype due to aggressive monetization and stupid stuff because discord was a better simpler nicer platform
I can't wait to move to Willcord
welp, round the wheel goes, just waiting for the tipping point and the next one at this point

No better platform at the moment 
halfsword only social media...
BRING OUT THE FAX MACHINES I ain’t neva heard of no fax machine w microtransactions
paper and ink
thats a subscription model
I'd love to fax Username Ladiesman217 a halfsword meme
bring out the cans and string!
want my fax #?
I was just thinking of that, watching a black and white low res Willie face slowly manifest from the printer 
Willie! mods are flirting in #halfsword-chat-⚔
mind your own business pal
Or maybe 10 seconds per frame clip of me sawing Willie's head of which is a totally unique move I just invented

Cmon Legi I’m tryna watch
true
Don’t call big Willie
Are we watching or are they watching. I don't know anymore

this shit so real
so real
Willie hair and facial hair when?
I'd do it
That's so peak
with your calculations as staff, would someone of my social ranking be able to post a gif without it being an epic embed fail that gets me ridiculed in the chat
You could post it without embed failure
eurieka!
that's what I mean
eh gif doesnt seem funny anymore i dont wanna
Actually you are level 3 so you get access to that and VC too
Apple sauce is better 
goodie goodie goodie ill wait until its jampacked and then unleash my new mixtape
he actually died
aint that the guy chris crossed?
he just fully keeled over from his willie getting impaled
and youd stand tall in the face of penar deletion?
Idk man it's just Ronaldo drinking
I'm British. I don't know stuff 
it is confirmed, british people are unable to sit criss cross applesauce
little pep talk before I end him
Applesauce?
Try turning blood off 
THANK YOU
you can keep gore
okay
im just tryna beat the dude with the scythe but its still the most ludicrously busted weapon in the game smh
you can get different weapons? i just got the lil baby hand billhook lookin thing
not the sickle, the one that looks like a sickle with a dysfunction
when you unlock a tier, click the portrait again
only issue i got with scythe is that above any other weapon, he literally can just set the weapon on your body and youll be cut in half
after you start doing fights in that tier it locks it and you have to spend one point per reroll
but you have infinite rerolls when starting a tier
scythe been like that for longer than ive even been playing, i remember in og demo with the dark abyss im pret sure i beat almost the whole thing until it got stuck and disappeared under the map
yeah
doesnt matter what armor type that thing just passes through enemies like butter
but if you get a better weapon than the small billhook youll be fine
axes are pretty great
the hoe isnt as good in that fight though
hoe can be insane if you actually hit with the metal part
because of effective range yeah
but that happens like once every gta Release
These hoes ain't loyal
if i get one hand cut off can i keep fighting after a while?
issue is if you are in range to hit with the metal he is in range forthe blade
nah
you're screwed fishy
if you lower damage values you can
yeah but other arm gets locked trying to hold the cut hand
so you can kick
but thats pretty much it
usually not haha
your Willie will be screaming in pain and holding at his stump because he is but a man
if it just gets damaged you could be fine
why ultimate challenge its so difficult
i think your right there, iirc ive had a couple instances where I or the AI could keep fighting without an arm
but like i said, with damage value tuning
I love early gauntlet because of the execs you can do on bosses
any tips for ultimate challenge yall
play defensively
regen is much lower than in abyss
so try to avoid taking damage as much as you can
dont get cornered, stay mobile, and hit when you get an opportunity
polearms are great for that
especially at later levels when a good blunt hit to the head will be better than several sword slashes
also for gore settings, does the 'gore' slider dictate like dismemberment n such?
nope
what it do
dont think so
between blood and gore, blood obv is just blood effect values, but what could gore change if not that
it might affect dismemberment, but it wont affect gameplay at all
with blood off it feels like im not landing anything
og halfsword feel
thats why you keep gore on
so you can see the slashes still
and see if you got a good hit
im getting lowkey sick of being dismembered to attacks that have the impact of a moist napkin tho so gonna mess w gore
it will not make attacks do less damage
thats what the damage sliders are for
idk if its something other people experience while playing, but its like ill parry an incoming attack from e.g. an axe, completely stop their swing, but then move the guard wrong so their axe just rests on my shoulder or sumn, and ill be split straight down the middle out of nowhere
i had it slightly higher for both than default 'gruesome'
slightly as in only moved to the first O of each words
right? i know the games fresh i dont wanna expect too much. just gets difficult to try and progress into actually armored levels rn lmao
now launch like a catapult
smooth combo ngl-
and just execute this guy
the commoner boss is the great filter tbh
if you can beat him, the rest of the run is much smoother
now that i realize i can just pick a weapon in t1 its much easier
yeah
i consider myself probably better than majority at the game but this weird level system is throwing me off lmao
i just do custom fights
reliably so for the record
because a lot of people play this game yolo
yeah
and get a good rush kill on him
yeah
but if you can reliably kill him you can kill everyone else in this game easy
especially without pitchfork cheese
tbh depending on your weapon yolo might be the only reliable kill
i've done it falchion one hand before
if you have short weapons, yeah you gotta go in close
it's no drama, all about timing and prediction
yeah
parrying is not advised
for the first time i managed to effectively win through just frustration. 2nd champion fight i got the big axe, swing and he blocks it, the shaft of his scythe literally just rubs my arm and i drop the axe with both hands, fed up w it and managed to 1 punch him lmao
hit me with the backside of the blade when I stepped in
nice
yeah fists are also a viable weapon
they do some good damage
if you got gauntlets on they can be insane
you gotta swing against his sword/primary arm at the same time to prevent it
a parry in one
yeah
are war crimes truly crimes?
slice his face off and block his sword from doing anything to you
rushing in all the way/committing is also a good way to get him since his arms will hit you instead of his sword
any tips to counter pitchfork?
be careful, push it off to the side, get in close
if you don't have range
kicks can also help create an opening, just make sure you dont kick into the tip
i hate the t3 boss
the more im playing this gamemode the more i hate the game overall
what gamemode you doing
just gauntlet
i like gauntlet
i dont know how to explain it, im dying to a lot more random things that wouldnt ever kill me the other times ive played
i beat this guy up with my bare fists btw
first time was i knocked him out cold second was i slammed him on the ground
especially in these lower ranks, ive had a legit dozen deaths now that are purely from enemy weapons making contact, not a swing, not even a drop or anything, literally just contact with the weight of paper
like am i wrong for finding this to be a bit bogus?
big candlestick always kills in the stupidest ways imaginable but this seemed a bit much
iirc in that case the regen only goes so far as to let you 2 hand again or maybe attack in the same way a broken arm would
like the super floppy bad swings
Any mods that let me grow a new leg or something
Only in the abyss. Critical damage and severed limbs do not regen.
someone should maek a hook sword or bat'leth
playing at max player and max npc damage is hilarious. spoilance matches become absolutely terrifying
It is a fun way to learn to never take a hit.
idk if anyone has fucked up willie worse than this in a fist fight
both arms and legs are broken and he just still isnt giving up
fart biter
Anyone else keep playing gauntlet just for fun
Already beat it 3 times in a row now
good heavens he is striking the stanky leg
Happened to me once, but broken leg only
is there a way to do a whole run with just the long candlestick as my weapon
that thing is weirdly brutal and i'm kinda curious if i could get to ultimate challenge with it
the little spike oneshots any willies without armor and it's a blunt weapon for ones with
little candlestick is also borderline OP but big candlestick is nuts
i wish we could hold weapons in more than two ways
like what if i wanna smack someoen in the head with the back of my axe
cant wait to never play the early access of the half-sword cuz im broke
this game is so fire does anyone know a more narrowed down release date?
Q4 this year
damn, gauntlet gets pret easy after the first 3 champions
third champion is lowkey just a test for game knowledge
if you know how to fight him the rest of game falls in line immediately
Finally got past that champ and went up until t8 before taking any damage
unless you pull a bs win then good luck facing off against the rest
Yes and no i guess
it's also because armor gets prevalent in the higher tiers and disguises flaws in gameplay
so people just keep moving along doing what they do
I found it was moreso that the armor gave me a buff to not die to as stupid of reasons, but still lost it at first game of t8, just fell to the ground for no reason and couldn’t get up lmao
Like t1-3 I’ll get brushed by a candlestick and take the same damage as a full impact strike, random bs like that
Actually had to try and survive at the lower tiers after that it’s just don’t grapple against swords and don’t swing first
It's my best attempt at making roger's ace
Far too much free time
how do you import weapon mods
whats that
good god
whatt
this is the tool used to import loadouts
i have the halfsword enhancer
that's not related in the slightest
i mean this
???
yes.
how do i instal ovrtj
at least you can survive getting knocked down
oh
much unlike lower tiers where it's just a death sentence unless you instantly surrender or menu cheese
guess where these dents on the baron's head came from
with armor? maybe t7-8
veteran+ usually
the rest thats like a 30% chance of survival or less
helmet and stuff keeps you from certain death
oh word i forgot you wont die from an axe to the chest
and when i say survive i just mean buying you enough time to give up
Once you install ovrdth's selector, go to documents, ovrdth's selector, pooled saves, and extract the weapon mod's files into pooled saves
dagger parry
you know more about the game than i do so i cant argue but it dont feel that way the vast majority of the time
I love daggers
ig if im anticipating to immediately give up the moment i am off my feet it'd be better
OH THAT GIVES ME AN IDEA!
I might make yoru and mihawk's tiny lil dagger next
quick question about armor, waht is the piece of armor called that sits right in front of the shoulder, usually in knight tier, you can pull it off and use it as a fist weapon. Its like a big outward curved plate
I already made ace, and making morukomagiri won't be too hard
fun fact: the reason i actually do parry so frequently with daggers / knives is because im trying to be like mihawk fighting zoro for the first time
oh neat!
and im starting to get good at parrying with knives and daggers
what
I was planning on releasing some of my stuff on nexus at some point, would you be willing to help me test some of my stuff
hey, what was the requirement to stop the baron errors again? was it just no blood and gore?
Did you install ovrdth's selector
yes
great.
nexus hasnt ever really worked for me
but i can try
i clicked the file
just make sure to not include viruses ❤️
I'm likely not going to post the stuff directly on nexus
until I actually finish refining it
then how do i test it?
I mean I can send the files themselves
but mostly in the form of
you telling me which parts would work best
and what would be too cumbersome, etc
Oh I js realized I can probably use that one sword crossguard that's almost entirely flat, and scale it down to make the handle and crossguard for the mini yoru
you can see how damn much that auto parry or whtvr its called is screwing up all my parries
I recommend you try to move your dagger into their swing path instead of reactively parrying
that way you also don't overextend
It doesn't even look like you're pressing shift
Are you?
am i supposed to?
Shift is what puts you in a stance and turns on auto parry
yeah
all i know is that the dagger is not going where im telling it to go
I swear I autoparry without shift sometimes and it'll fuck up my thrusts with a spear or pitchfork
skill issue
counted a total of 68 punches to the face or shoulders and I died from one stab to the ankle, why must god forsake me
Get beheaded plancon
either i suck at parrying more than i used to, or i am holding shift without even realizing
Holding shift is IDEAL
Autoparry is designed to move your weapon as little as possible
im so good at this game
if it's screwing up your thrust or slashes, that's because you're swinging when you should be blocking.
stuff like this makes me realize its genuinely worse to try harder at this game
sometimes the easy answer works better than the hard one
you mean to tell me halfsword works against mastercuts?
Mastercuts?
This guy took a beating, jesus christ.
Half sword can be really effective to block with starting out, but try to progressively block more by angling your sword in base grip
how do you get ur graphic like that
I am on High using DX12.
no im saying the game halfsword, you mean to tell me the mechanics of the game are working against mastercuts
max blood max gore.
One of the best ways to do this is to use a weapon with limited rotational capabilities like a falchion, to learn how to block and parry when otherwise incredibly difficult
in total, this fight cost AN ARM AND A LEG https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kLTW2vvERPNoROcM_?invite=cr-MSx5RlAsNDEyNTYyNzA5

Once again, no clue what mastercuts are
oh btw are they releasing multplayer. I would lowkey pay money to play the game if multiplayer is coming out(if it cost money)
a strike that blocks and thrusts/cuts in the same motion
ah
sorry maybe theres another term thats what i learned in hema
Yeah, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to hema/longsword terms
in that case, no.
Mastercuts work just fine
you just have to actually use them properly
otherwise, you will just get hit unnecessarily
you say that stances and autoblock hinder strikes if they are performed when the autoblock should be blocking at that time, that would seem to inherently work against the mastercut
stance/autoblock i should say
nope, I view stances/autoblock as the neutral, not the defense. Active defense is best done imo via prediction, not reaction. you CAN very effectively attack while blocking.
and before someone says anything, theres a reason im PRACTICING parrying
Your neutral is NOT an impenetrable wall.
Mastercuts are just a handful of strikes that people like to use because they're cool and effective. Mainly effective.
but if you're guarding in neutral, it's much more effective
when I say "guarding" I mean moving your weapon to where the opponent's likely going to strike given their movements and angle of their weapon.
the part that confused me was when you said this
I was responding to someone who said that the autoparry was screwing up their attacks
If the autoparry is screwing up your attacks, you need to improve your timing, otherwise, it's like using mastercuts when the opponent is on the defense
autoparry messes up my guards
Autoparry only kicks in at the last moment, and barely moves your weapon.
likewise i think its whats giving me such a hard time
that or just bad aim, likely the latter mostly but it doesnt help
They really like to stay away when your swangin that thang
If you're annoyed at the autoparry, your best alternative is to be hit square in the chest with a strike of some kind
that happens anyways
Lemme show you what I mean rq

granted like you said autoparry isnt just gonna magically save you every time but its kinda buns
When the autoparry kicks in I prefer to reset to neutral, or if my swing path is unchanged, to continue the attack
I try to mirror my opponent's weapon movements while still lining up attacks
that way I can still block or parry if I need to.
does this let the enemy get more parries? I suppose. Does this prevent my head from being lopped off? absolutely!
im sorry if you already said this but to clarify, can autoparry engage at any point in a stance or attack? or does it exclusively come from having fully reset and paused in the neutral position
like im beginning to wonder as someone who primarily fights in drawn back stances if its engaging midway through a swing, as i very often attempt to attack but itll just rotate and change guards instead
Bro I just got stunted on by willie
It doesn't particularly matter, autoparry only kicks in if your weapon is already aligned for a parry.
given that line of reasoning, if you had continued with the attack, you would have just been parried anyway, or at worst, been hit.
elbow deep i nthe abyss and I get the glitch that pins my arm behind my back and drags me 🥀





i think it might be the problem then, see ill be in a fully pulled back position waiting to do an active parry, but instead it stops the swing, and changes guard positions to either block it or just fuck it up all together
most especially with any 2 handed weapons that have full range of movement, 2h swords and axes primarily, they feel downright impossible to reliably swing with sometimes
Your sword can only swing so far before it curves into a blocking position
that's how arms work
no im saying the movement entirely kills the attack before its landed, as in less than 1/3 of the way through a full swing
switch hands?
I tried
Sometimes yeah
the arm drags me if I dont fight against it
anytime ive ever had that happen i either get dragged under the map or have to give up
if you give up you dont lose the whole run though ig
this is an abys only run sadly so giving up means back to the start for me
the best way i can try to describe it is something like this; Longsword, fully drawn back over the left shoulder right? instead of making a roughly 45 degree swing to any point on the body, it stops the swing, and redirects me entirely either to guard legs, or it keeps the sword upright, changes guard to the right side and lowers it again
like it puts it in the state of rotating blocking positions rather than completing the swing, leaving me entirely open every time it happens
I tried to click the play button I think that’s enough screen time for td 
wdym
chat whats ur favorite tier and why
Aim fur the head
imagine if unarmed willy were fully commited to fight armed willy than surrendering in a instant,fully knowing they will be killed even when they surrender and get sent to the abyss
holy shit i just clutched a small buhurt with one broken arm
adrenaline is crazy
They still need to work a little on 2 handed weapons control
Pole arms def have a tendency to just not do what they should
Anyone else murder their own brethren in buhurt just for the sake of it?
Yes, they be my brethren for now, but they will be my enemy as I climb up the ranks.
the commoner boss just blasts through any guard you put up i swear
absolutely brutal way to go
empty af head
imagine remebering you left the oven on the moment someone stabbed you in the throat
bro remembered where his phone was literally right then 😭
uhhhhh i just unlocked a new type of camera lol
anti warstaff maneuver
when you're doing great but the game puts you against two placon a fucking picot
swap shield hand to right side
and wait for them to swing down instead of stabbing
it's official, the game hates me lmao
the ultimate challenge doesnt feel fun just frustrating:(
dude anyone else get a rare glitch where no matter what you're doing your guy just cant catch his breath?
no chest or head damage, he just sits and pants hard as fuck
the plancon is divinely protected
Rare chance of spawning in with asthma
pressing e and q usually fixes it for me
is there any way to stop half sword from crashing whenever i or enemies make hard collisions with the ground?
Did anyone cut them haft and they still alive
Half sword, thats all I am going to say.
for anyone that uses the mod called HS enhancer's launcher DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY it shows up as malware on malwarebytes
where did you download it
nexus mods
Yeah its safe, thousands if people use it, theres a whole discord ran by the creator where he posts wips and all kinds of stuff
Very legit
I'm one of the best first person players
