im trying to do an osoto gari in the peasant tier but its quite literally the hardest grappling move ive ever done
ooh
idfk how this stuff is even possible
its like using a cheese grater to solve math problems
its easy bro, just do it
BRO THAT WOULDVE BEEN BEAUTIFUL
yall needa try out the spinning wheel kick, its a game changer

holy shit bro you did a whole ass 720 spinning kick
that deserves to be pinned somewhere
how did he do this
idk man a normal one is definitely easy to teach but that, idk how to teach that
i also tried to do spinning wheel kick but failed
make sure your right leg is the one that is out, for me it helps with the spin a lot more
ill send a clip through that you can study and try to imitate what i do

tysm
no problem bro
bro is mega dead
i have 79
493
wow
there are other games aswell🥲
np
people with over 100 hrs in the demo should get a discount on release fr
are u creator of this game or what?
yay
i guarantee you 460 of those 494 hours have been spent grappling and wrestling
prolly got more hours than all the devs
no i just enjoy the game a lot
can we ask devs how many hours do they have?
plus more in the playtest
it would most likely be very hard to get ahold of one of them
wait
is actually possible to parry with the parrying dagger?
seems to just blow right through most of the time
dont think so

who needs 2 hands to use a longsword
yeah its this crazy concept called "being respectful of your community"
anyone german?
this is the most peaceful server ive ever seen
we all let out our aggression on willie
i find it hard to stay mad when i can break all of willies limbs in a fist fight then kick his head against a fence post until he dies
its cathartic
You forgot the important part, grip and rip.
didnt forget it this time 😼

i want make the willie genocide
mods on a genocide rn
ah shit halfsword devs hurry up, I'm in a bet that it'l release before silksong and it looks like I'm gonna lose
i see it now, it doesnt line up with the shadows at ALL so thats why i was confused
Oh shit gamescom starts in 12 minutes, does halfsword have a booth?
halberd is so goated🙏
is it an irl thing???
or can it be accessed digitally too
Only in person at the booth
Early access releases in Q4 and will have split screen though
damn i aint even in germany
i hope someone tries to wrestle their opponent 🙏
praying that the booth is livestreamed so we can see how people play
is it normal that when i try to ready my guard up willie just gets ready to slash?
instead of being in a block stance?
is my sensitivity too high?
YO
If silksong releases, this means we are gonna be top 18 on steam wish list
i finally killed the gold boss @coral reef
Damn nice. You unlock him permanently too
We do
Well you get to play as him atleast
i used the long hammer struck him first time he dropped his weapon pulled his sword and slashed me a couple times but i managed to stab him in the armpit
Yeah but if you lose the race I have to buy silksong for both of us so you need to beat them to the punch 😩
Must’ve been satisfying lol
ima have a lot of fun with the character now
the bot just feinted a slash into a stab that was really impressive
Well enjoy, I’ll be trying to kill the baron for the 10th time this month
are they gonna increase the intensity of stabs btw?
your character just kinda,points the weapon
instead of thrustin
Probably in early access
Hollow knight, is not really our concern haha but other medieval games might
oh I know, it's just a joke because I'm in a bet that you'll beat them for release date, but silksong JUST announced a big thing in 2 days so now I'm antsy
If you half sword a stab and then go back to regular grip you can push a stab all the way through them
also they should give a durability to shields because its kinda stupid
I'll have to find someone reviewing the half sword booth, I can't take a trip to germany on such short notice
Gta 6 will be released earlier than silksong i bet
they just delayed gta 6 a second time
september 2026
Not really, getting hit with a shield will deplete stamina and make hits against you less effective
True
tf
can anyone confirm whether blocking a hit with a shield actually tires you out?
shockingly no, they confirmed THIS YEAR and now we're all shitposting waiting for this premier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XGeJwsUP9c
The countdown is on!
Join us in 48 hours for a special announcement about Hollow Knight: Silksong!
Thursday 21st August | 7:30 AM PT | 10:30 AM ET | 3:30 PM UK
i pressed x to swap my weapon to the other hand and it just vanished 💀
so many good games in 2025. Silksong, you guys, goooood year
skill issue
Lets see if thats actually true
2025 good year of games releases
2026 gonna be even better
sharp weapons are really funny in grotesque
you dont even have to swing full force
tap the guy lightly and he gets cut in half
Yess
2026 will be triple A titles being release though
Gta 6!!
This was a year of indie games and double A games
we got bubsy 3d announcement before half sword.
its so over
Though a few triple a titles have been good
double A?
thats just indie innit?
I don't even buy AAA games, indies are where it's at
AA
exact same question
AA is premium indie
so something like Sea of Thieves?
10 to 50 mil budget
halfsword is SSS 😎
holyshit he is so overpowered 1 strike and i knock a mf over
A game smaller than a triple a game team and larger than an indie game
It’s an inbetween
Like Kingdom come deliverance
would dying light be a AA game
So god damn unwieldy though
Yeah
Yeah pretty much
Indeed
who do you guys have manning the gamescom booth?
willie himself
Me obviously.
also there is this funny glitch where you can spawn in naked
and willie has no willie
:(
That’s a feature
I swear to god if it's not Ivan wearing a willie mask I'll riot
would be funny if willie had a fully modeled willie and it was a weak spot
Ivan, frank, and Milek. 3 Devs, then 3 game seer guys
Yess
also are kicks going to be upgraded?
Atleast Ivan’s there
If you join a certain faction they’re rlly strong
The far right one
It makes them faster
factions are a thing in the game right now?
I haven't had fish sticks for 15 years now
Also if you wear steel boots you can break legs
Now’s your time to change.
Will one of the devs be re-enacting a Willie spin kick?
Trueee
i wish willie did a round house kick on me 😔
also the ability to jump would be cool
Frank is a menace with the games techniques
doing jump kicks and such
frank knows how everything works so I'd expect him to be good.
is frank the owner?
Yeah
i see
Ivan and Frank both started it right?
Yea
also like how will the physics based combat work with online ping delay
since pvp is planned as far as i know
Pvp we mean local coop pvp
Imagine losing an arm and the other Willy just vanishes
i dont have any friends who come to my house :(
It might not work, at least well. This is their first title and online play is hella ambitious
I believe you can use steam coop mode or something similar to it
one thing devs have to learn the hard way is if you don't start from the outset with these things in mind, you'll have too much technical debt later on to integrate it cleanly
that shits black magic and i dont know how it works
we tried once and the dude got access to my computer
😭
I am a pc user but I wonder if it will be possible for a long time in the future for the game to have a ps5 or console port
Not exactly my fight though
playing this game a controller
would be pain
and misery
Yupp, mp is good for companies that have the money and budget to burn through it all
I mean currently with the key mechanics it wouldn’t be the worst thing
I actually think a joystick would make control a lot more clean
It's actually way easier
We have partial controller support in the demo
maybe its because i started using a controller only a year ago
i was always a keyboard and mouse guy
I’ve been very in between with both controllers and keyboard and mouse
I prefer keyboard and mouse though for most games
Except dark souls and any souls born game
For sure, another indie studio that's grown to ~70 members that I follow is Keen Software House, they make the game Space Engineers. SE1 online was really bad and took sooooo much work to get right, SE2 is now developed with it as a core component
for example i tried rematch with a controller because ''it was the intended way to play''
was miserable
commoner boss is so bs, he's too strong
couldnt aim at all
lol fair enough
the guy with the scythe or the guy with the sword
sword
yeah kinda is
Once your used to keyboard and mouse it’s hard to use a controller
he has the armor of the upper class
instead of commoner armor
padded clothing and stuff
and the strength too, can't block him
I wouldn’t call a gambeson upper class
just pushes my sword or buckler away
the upper class of the commoner
the one above it
thats what i meant
it's a rather fancy looking gambeson, he would be gentry for sure
True, though I was talking more economy wise lol
You’d be tall too if you consumed your foes
they are like 7 feet tall back in like what? the 1400s?
i once slashed across his face and he proceeded to fall down, stand up and beat me to death with the buckler
They make tons money with their good AI software aswell. So they have multiple fall backs. I hope se2 turns out to be good
also its funny to beat up people with your shield rather than use your weapon
Buckler is a good blunt weapon
If used properly
is buckler the small circle shield
I've been a believer of Marek since the beginning, I have faith. SE2 has got me vibrating, it's a GOOD YEAR
i like the forearm shields, whatever they're called
Targe?
it's super good as a weapon
whats that thing where its like 4 rings that you punch people with
a knuckle duster
thats the name
Yesss
do we know when we should expect to see half sword during the gamescom livestream
I wish we had the option to use a shield and dagger at the same time
the long rectangular one
a knuckle duster would be a cool weapon for like the lower classes
Like same hand?
Yeah buckler and icepick dagger would be neat
also is the small knife a prison shank or something?
Definitely a nice combo to go hand and hand with a spear or sword
the very small one
Butter knife
oh that's the pavise. In the tiers it goes Buckler, Pavise, Tower pavise, heater, targe
If you could afford butter
thats not how butter knives look
I’d like to one day see like something like a Katar or push dagger maybe
Probably a skinning knife then
thats a prison shank
Plus knives looked very different from today
the medium knife is quite literally a kitchen knife
a very modern one
I should’ve specified daggers
At this point im better at beating baron than the sword boss
never reached baron because of the sword boss
Umm, I'm pretty sure Farberware was around in the 15th century 
i used to die more at scythe boss somehow
That’s what the baron uses
Not some random peasant
Hand cannons
Like in kcd
Kcd 2 to be precise
Usually used a fuse of sorts instead of a flint
didn't only china have them tho?
ts so tuff
European soldier using hand cannon
Tech like that spreads fast id imagine
You can tell he’s European cus of his pointy ass helmet
it only takes one guy to get blown to smithereens for the enemies to want the same thing
Exactly
You can tell that he is european because of the equipment
Gunpowder and guns have been around since the 13th century
imagine you are trying to stab a guy and he blows up your whole chest
You can tell it’s European, because of the way that it is.
is that a gun mace
Mace gun
Imagine getting shot and then stabbed at the same time
Btw, does anyone else love pooping helmets off in higher tiers?
your comrade gets swung with a mace so you try to retaliate and then you just get shot
aginst people with blunt weapons works best
‘Ha this dicks gun is useless at close range’ then he whips this thing out
nobody said the middle ages weren't brutal
i love the hug of death where you halfsword and get your sword behind the guy then just kick him until he is cut in half
people out here getting shotstabbedmauled
circa 1450, this fits in the timeline of halfsword
quick and clean

“How’d you die? All of the above”
could also be called the guiollitine or whatever the word is
we need macegun
the thing used to execute people
You need to go to the doctor if you’re pooping those
i do that but move my sword side to side and up a bit so that i pop off their helmets, works best aginst people with blunt weapons
the dude is still alive
no
he died
I meant popping lol
that's the last time I eat kettle corn
When your lvl two
bro this character is so op i can punch fully armored mfs to death
:(
You can send links I believe
how many messages approxiametly for level 2
why is your saturiation like 500%
my eyes hurt
if you keep looking at that much color you'll see no color in no time
He says as he spends 60 percent of the video in the shadow
does anyone else just play in 1st person?
only works with fist fights sadly
that's fine at least i enjoyed the extra colors more when i still could see them
Does not just work in fist fights
it only works in fist fights for me
You can use it until the tier before knight tier
Genuinely what was y’all’s strategy to beat the Ultimate Challenge, the longest pole arm possible? I’ve been stuck since April
and fist fights are just too easy
Du pont
still fun tho
Pointy ass stick with more spikes on it
Just bash peoples heads in
most of the time i just 1 hit them
so do i
i like 1 hitting people
makes me feel powerful
Problem is killing the dude with it!
Your gonna love one handing two handed axe boss with shield
you just get stabbed by like 10 nails
Who is like 8 ft tall and carries that axe like a short sword
He’s the knight boss though so don’t worry
brother i already have beaten the baron
Okay well my point still stands
pummel
you just keep hitting each other until one faints
Go tin can opening with a dagger and hammer
You are so wrong lol
That’s almost exactly how they fought
i love when you wanna swing and willie moves towards you, so you just slap him harmlessly with your wrist
pretty sure they actually tried to stab each other with swords
Once they grapple eachother swords were useless
I don't think knights fought 1v1 in small, closed in, unnamed areas of town
he just gives you a little kiss
and you hug his neck
Plus try finding a weak point with a wide ass sword
You need something to easily slip through a gap
I hate when grab because then noone hit others willie
one of the reasons halfswording was "invented". more tip control, better leverage, more precision when parrying and hitting gaps in the armour
Not really
With proper grip it’s safe to do
And would you rather get a cut over losing your head
treated leather gloves or just chainmell made this easier
Also pretty much any glove
armpits, often visor, backplates (if he doesnt wear a cuirass), certain spots at the neck
Beat me to it
i'd rather lose my head because im living in the 1500s
It wasn’t all that bad
beats dying to the plague
Atleast the black plague was over
Mostly
And atleast arsenic and asbestos wasn’t in your walls
Waiting to kill you
black plague is still around, i keep it in a jar
I’d argue that the 17th century and 18th century were the worst and best
there are microplastics in your balls
i'd argue
Plastic didn’t really exist in the 15th century so there’s that
you we're once inside 2 people at once, one was your mother and one was your father
for a certain group of individuals both of them were the worst
Yeah a certain group
also real swords tend to be wobbly as balls which this game doesn't really showcase
also like,would a real human be able to swing a sword that fast?
Yeah if a sword was entirely stiff they would chip
twice in a row?
or like 10 times in a row
yes
i highly doubt that
greatswords were like 10 pounds were they not?
depends os craftsmanship and type
Barely any
swords were extremely light compared to other arms at the time
Greatswords typically weigh between 5 to 8 pounds
Mostly 8 lbs
even a flamberge, claymore, or langschwert
Poleaxes were the real heavy weapons, and you can't swing those in-game more than a few times without getting exhausted
Yeah, what use is a massive sword if you can only swing it once
Then some peasant with an axe chops your balls off and feeds it to their kids
cool points
guts is crying in the corner rn
if you swing too fast he will just drop it because willies grip strength sucks so bad
probably alot of protein in that
can somebody fact check me on that
Why do you think I’m killing so many barons
Royal balls good sir
Like cereal it’s a complete part of your breakfast
"Dad, what is it you made for dinner tonight"
"Cooked knight testicles"
thats probably a luxury dinner for peasants
their normal dinner is like,cow shit or sum
Bread without the wheat
“Tonight we yeast”
1 slice of ham, wheat, stale bread half and like 3 mugs of milk
also a pickaxe would be a cool weapon for peasants
Yeah what he said
average plancon user conversation
somthin like that i dunno
eating balls is all they do
Some don’t have the decency to cook them properly
i know the game is set in mediaval times but like,a gun sword would be really cool
Well they would run out of human balls one day wouldn't they?
Guns exist
Not with that attitude
essentially just 1 huge crossguard with pointy ends
They would need to chop balls off of bulls probably
Think of it like dessert
yeah but like,you stab a guy then pull the trigger
and the dude just
explodes
this isnt assassins creed black flag
Now reload it lol
thats a thing? i played AC4 and never found something like that
i didnt finish thegame
probably why
Reloading in the middle of a fight and someone’s gonna serve your balls for dinner
yeah but like
its still a sword
least exhausting and violent fight between too armored fighters
Forgot about the sword
to be "reliable" it needed to be a "modern" gun. try swinging a gunpowder gun sword thingy. powder going everywhere, pulling the trigger and blowing the handle (and your balls) apart
i'd risk blowing up my balls to be able to blow up a guy from the inside
This is why knights had chaperones
Like the escort
also like,if you have your sword on the guys neck
The russian soliders have a very unreliable knife that the use, a knife with a 9mm round that fires out backwards and is easy to accidentally press when stabbing someone
you cant push it into the guys neck
so thats why sweatlords play commoner only. they need the dopamine rush of killing someone in 0.0005 seconds, and then making a compilation of it
thats sad
sadly. there needs to be some momentum to the stab. you cant "push" the sword in slowly, with pressure
you need that stabbing motion
so sad
what if the sword can cut through obsidian?
I mean Tbf if I have the sword on the back of someone’s neck and I’m just sliding it along, surely their skin will break eventually
you can get him in the neck but thats a smaller gap that is difficult to accurately get into with the controls.
I tend to only do it by complete luck.
and its definitely never pretty for a clip
I know that aint possible but what if
bro is sawing the meat
🥀
Sawing a Willy
also no slow cuts. you need to really swing. id love to do some counter, only to slowly cut the willie by the neck with a shortsword
Half swording someone’s neck must’ve been a real awkward experience
its easier to get when you parry an overhead attack with halfswording, then bring your weapon (and his) slightly to the side, and then stab
Sitting there sawing their neck as you stare at eachother for like 2 minutes
I actually had to play for a little bit to get a willie AI that was competent enough for a long fight.
if the npc has low skill, it ends just as fast with or without armor.
give them a little kiss while you are trying to decapitate them
this was the fight literally before the clip I sent
i hate the ones that just run at you for 10 minutes while halfswording, spamming kicks, and try to grab you even though it doesnt benefit them
I half sword, get the sword behind their neck, and just shinmy it until it cuts, bonus points if the helmet pops off
i had a willie fake a slash into a stab and he killed me in 5 seconds because of that
Buying all that armor and spending your families century worth of savings, just to get your neck chopped by some random dude
Medieval experience
willies always hit their stab. especially with long weapons
I cut into the armpit actually
It’s still shiny too so that’s his first fight in it
willie's aim is actually crazy,
Still sucks ass for Mr fancy armor
Armor like that costed as much as a modern car
also why does my character sometimes never stop screaming when their arm gets chopped off?
like dawg just lock in already
shield willies are annoying to fight. everytime you swing they get too close, and then you always hit his side with your wrist and not your weapon, or your own sword gets stuck behind your own shield
sometimes it takes 2 seconds sometimes it takes forever for your character to stop panicking
how to delete my progress data..
It’s the equivalent of buying a Porsche, wrecking it day one, then Your insurance bails on you
the insurance being your heart in this situation
and your brain
Every internal organ
brr brr patapim
And your balls
how is that allowed
so many balls
ehhh if you aren't fighting back to back fights in one day, your armor is gonna be shiny.
at least for the start of a duel.
people took care of it unless they couldn't for whatever reason.
there's probably imperfections and visible dents somewhere on the armor, just not big enough to see with my shitty res and bitrate.
True, but still.
Check pinned messages
die
it's in appdata local
Even if it was kept nice
the willies are stupid and die instead
huh
You still spent all that time putting it on and praying just to get armpit slashed
they die from a punch when i let myself get killed
Also not to mention that armor was probably inherited
you can die in the main menu
keep beating up your willie
oh
Yes
what is a ''hedgeborn'' dawg
It’s real
old english i think
You
well then willie straight up called me the N word several times
it'd be middle english
you can snap his neck by pulling on the head
old english would be unintelligible
to the side
A lowly peasant born of lowly means
unlikely since he's a knight.
he'd be able to afford it.
armor has to be your size, whether its custom fit or mass produced stuff.
and armor changed often enough that a generation of armor older is outdated and out of style.
you wouldn't wear it, at least I dont think so.
Pretty much calling someone poor
alright, so just like the language ingame
raggamuffin is not very "intelligible" to me
People hear what they wanna hear I swear. You are far from the first person to say this, but I have never once heard something sound even close to the n word
nah listen to old english it's straight up alien sounding
halfsword taking place ~1470 means it's late middle english/pre early modern english
so medieval english mixed with some indigenous gaelic/scottish, or nordic type language
i listened to it
Look at it this way, most armor was inherited from a line of knights, even if you could afford it, it was likely considered honorable to at the very least display or wear your parent or relatives armor after their passing, whether it be ceremonial or just to honor a death, if you couldn’t afford to buy more armor, you’d likely have it refitted to be able to fit you more, if it wasn’t outdated as in two centuries old, then you would probably wear it if it wasn’t outdated and atleast made 20 years ago you’d shine it and fit it to your body and wear it that way.
i have a question. im fairly new to the game and got 60 hours in so far
Though I haven’t met a medieval relative yet so I don’t know what their mind set was
The spear is so bad, and tge reason is because the enemy willie doesn't care about weight
So take what I just said with a grain of salt
its bad because stabbing sucks
the spear can be used as a traditional polearm and slash or bash things.
that makes it good enough for me.
No, the stabbing is good, the wight is off
The high tier spear also has the two tiny cross guard on the ends which makes it good to bash heads in
Atleast in my experience
It's hard since writing doesn't equal pronunciation, but it's extremely different from middle english and had a lot of stuff that was dropped by halfsword's time like gendered nouns and stuff
it's basically impossible to understand without training
proto germanic also sounds wild asf
some alien language
i cant recognize any words whatsoever
a little off topic but ive managed to get through the gauntlet to the last mode but i cant seem to finish the ultimate challenge. how do you do it?
Is it crashing?
magic
yeah the european languages pre 13th century are totally unrecognizable
Or can you just not get past the waves of enemies
only old high german has minimal resemblance to todays grammar, but still couldnt have a convo if someone talked to me like that
the absolute worst weapon to face when trying to make a demonstration.
but it worked out I guess
there is a glitch that lets you fight the lowest class with any class of your choice
and i dont know how but i keep doing it
on accident
sometimes. the loading of the armor will sometimes crash the game. but i cannot seem to get past the first wave of 3 enemies. let alone most of the time get past the first 3 enemies
I once got to play baron on fist fight lol
yeah
it also lets you keep yourr weapon during carnage
did they just up the difficulty X10
it's fun if it haopens
hit soft, hit hard, graze hit, whatever. this pointy stick is just too annoying. and even if the enemy misses, youll walk into it, or on it
Get any polearm and attempt to bash their heads in, also try to take them out one at a time and don’t get cocky, turn your graphics down to high and turn gore and blood off entirely
i eat dirt
The graphics and blood being removed prevents crashing happening as often
anyways, im out
graphics are already at high and ill definitly turn gore off that makes sense
also if your game is crashing, verify game files
Also try to run around the arena while hitting them, it takes time to learn
Game crashing happens to everyone though so i think it’s just loading issues
it doesn't crash too often. it just seems like when it gets loaded with a ton of work all of a sudden. how do i verify game files though
Should be a button on steam
True but sometimes the game spirals. At one point my game was crashing after the UE5 logo and I had to do a verify to fix it. I didn't even install mods yet
I’ll try that too lol just in case
Anyways I’m off to kill the baron for the 10th time and final time
they have a booth, ivan and frank are both there
ASSHOLES
what wep is the best to beat the commoner boss
ive died abt 5 times in a row now
commoner boss harder than knight boss fr
commoner just blasts through your parry/block bc of his swing power/weapon weight/leverage
he keeps 1 shotting my shoulder
also 1 taps you mostly
i beat him once but js died in the match right after
bc i picked a bad militia imo
yeah i love the pitchfork but i cant use it for commoner boss
but there is no pitchfork in commoner class?
you do not have to pick the commoner class
wait fr?
you can just continue with farmer
yeah you can keep peasant
if you finish a higher rank with lower class, you also get bonus points
and move up faster
bro I had to help somebody this morning who didn't realize you had to pick the next rank he was taking on the commoner boss AS A BEGGAR
it makes life easy when people do that and move on so i don't have to illustrate and explain how to beat commoner boss with an actual commoner
sometimes i imagine what Life would be like if thinking would hurt you physically
you don't have to imagine that's life for a lot of people
parrying him is a terrible idea anyways
most efficient way to kill him is purely footwork and timing
as a new player he WILL hit you in some way. and the smallest hit will just disable or kill you
after a while you can murk him with a knife
also range and spacing
hence why pitchfork
yep the one time i killed him is when i rushed in with a big sword
Woof, the hosen are getting zesty again
the pitchfork equalizes that reach disadvantage that newer players can't work around yet
im not a fan of choosing the road with the least resistance
but once you get how half sword (in its current form) works it's light work
neither am i
hence why
i find ways to toy with him
that overhead parry never works for me, only when i swing my weapon up and clash it with his
not like a static block
vaccination
how do you even avoid spears when willie has perfect aim
willie will just raise it above his head like hes gonna split his watermelon head. it doesnt stay sideways like yours
slap the spear
i have at least 200 clips of me directly countering spears this way and it always works
the spear also has nails on it
oh that one is a pita
sidestepping to his weak side, slapping his weapon, pinning his weapon, having more range
you have to time your parrying with a 2h sword or use a shield
another polearm is ideal though
after a bit you'll start playing around with them
how do u reset progress?
pinned
you have to do a teeny bit of sideways movement to make the autoparry start working against overheads
pay attention to how your overhead stance pivots around a lot more when the enemy has a high guard or is swinging from one
passive parry is sassy sometimes. everything needs to be perfect in order to work lmfaooo
it's not too bad
you find ways to work with and/or around it
and after a bit you can do pretty much whatever you want to the AI willie if you execute everything proper
as illustrated by this 50 second clip of me just straight playing around for no reason
i swear i wouldve gotten hit atleast 5 times, even if i imitated your movements lmao
atleast a hit on the hand, or a graze hit
but in armored combat you need to be more careful because they grab you and half sword and bumrush
how to get half sword playtest bro??
oh my god
no playtest it's called demo
just type half sword in steam
ahh i see thanks bro
it happens to me as well i just don't post those clips or remove the bits where i get grazed
i have a clip where i do get grazed
@fallow monolith
i was genuinely so mad when he drew blood because it was a solid clip all around
one of these moments where i feel like a game is easier for everyone else
this all looks easy to pull off on paper, but when i play and move my mouse by 0.5mm, i whiff my swing completely
and lowering sens aint an option, cuz then i have to move my mouse across the table like a rower on a canoe
it's very difficult and unnecessary
trust me
it feels like 80hrs are wasted, even though i know im not that bad lmao
just beat them across the head
i spent a decent while figuring out how to parry with respect to the game's AI and physics + movement
the sickle is lowkey slept on
whats that one weapon thats similar to a sickle but it barely does any damage
some rely on AI, some rely on the game's inherent physics shenanigans, and some are objectively just actual textbook techniques
its like 90% stick and 10% sharp part
it sucks
never got killed by one
used by peasants
peasant weaponry is like that
what is it called tho it seems like some sort of gardening tool
im not talking about the big stick
hoe i thinkl
used for gardening
im talking about the one thats similar in size and appearance to the sickle
it doesn't swing right, doesn't have much fun surface to it, and is dull as shyt
pitchfork and axe meta
Short bill hook?
probably it yeah
let me look it up
yeah seems like it
that weapon SUCKS
scythe OP, even though the blade is never really aligned with the swing
but when you get touched by it you instantly get cut in half
was talking about the sickle
not the scythe
or he pokes you with it and you immediately die so hard the next 3 generations feel it
scythe is a bitch iwl
and i was talking abt the scythe
why does willie have god tier aiming
he aims his stabs well and always follows your weapon
i mean
they always do
you can do the same
no i fucking cant lol
and even play into his tracking
my sensitivy is up the wazoo
playing 1st person is just a debuff at this point. cant see shit, and enemy plays like hes in 3rd person lmao
idk how to explain
lmao 1st person is torture
you play off of muscle memory and/or straight guesswork sometimes
if you cant see your own weapon 90% of the time and how its being held/how the blade is aligned, how are you even supposed to play properly
or have to resort to small cuts
also goodbye if you have ANY helmet
knight tier in 1st person has to be a joke lol
there's a certain helmet that has insane visibility
i don't know what it's called and forgot what it looked like but there's one that gives you really good angles without sacrificing any protection
3rd person man at arms with longsword is my most fun way of playing. challenging but rewarding good aim, parries and predictions
me and the enemy both lost our arms and we kept screaming for like 5 minutes straight and i just kept kicking him and he eventually fell down and gave up
pure agony
veterans often still have parts of the chest exposed, i dont like that too much. man at arms has only the neck or shoulders exposed
sometimes you do get the bs maxed out man at arms loadout where he's one piece of armor away from being a full knight
and that one you just have to blunt force him into submission
having to aim for small weakpoints without being frustrating, perfectly balanced as all things should be
also stamina for more than 1 hit
Yeah the boss one is DEFO better
shit like this
i had to play it low risk and switch to hasso no kamae for a kill blow instead of trying to play the parry game

only time i beheaded someone intentionally
my own personal hall of fame moment
beheadings are so fun i don't know why the game is so stingy on those
you could put your sword clean through dude's neck and shit would not fall off 8/10 times
like bruh

there ya go
straight bullying
Yikes, cut off the head of a guy with a halbret ish thing, in the last ultimate challenge and my game crashed with "FATAL ERROR" lol
Turn off blood
blood does that
But its easier to tell how damaged they are with blood :((
Your choice my friend
Some people deal with the crashes cause they like blood too much
You wouldn’t be alone lol
Oh no, I tried without blood right after your response - But it's hard for me to tell if they are about to die damaged or just... damaged xd
Blood is for strategic play only 
Mittelhaw is such a good cut when you're fighting someone without stomach protection
When you slice them across their belly they fall instantly
Which should I keep fellas, du ponte stick or commoner boss greatsword for abyss
The du ponte is the stick with spikes all over it
I believe you mean the spikey stick
And the answer is just that
Okay
isnt it plançon
Yeah I just realized that lol
I’ve called it the other name for a long time and now I’ve just looked up its name and it’s the plancon
My bad
is the "ç" in "plançon" correct
Plançon à picot or the neegan bat, spikey stick, etc.
why is my game just constantly crashing at low graphics?
like when ever armor or im 1v3 at last rank it just either sends out an error but i can still play or it just closes itself
happens
i just cut a willie's leg by thrusting somehow
it happens way to frequently
yeah sure the game is in demo but if it just crashes i cant make any progress 😅
It happens a lot
its due to the blood
Try turning off blood.
Make sure you’re running on dx11
ight ill see ty
for me it just doesnt crash at all
I’ve done some testing and holy shit commoner greatsword is extremely underrated
It’s killed 3 bosses in a row with full armor
In void mode ofc
did they purposefully made it so if you decapitate a person their head only falls off after they fall to ground
or is it a bug
It can happen either way. Off before the fall, or after. Depends
Nah heads have fallen off while the body just stays up for me lots of times
Makes for dramatic moments though when they fall after the body hits the ground
If you left him alive he could’ve had an awesome scar though
Okay never mind
That’s not gonna scar
It’ll probably bruise bad though
he's dead
i hate willie so god damn much
he kept picking up shoes in the baron challenge
instead of the sword
baron is so ASS
sometimes it feels like im getting better...
but most times it feels like i die from stumbling over a pebble
early dodge ig
sword does nothing since knights have armor
the stick is too heavy
the mace is eh
like that didnt even get close. which is good ig but idk lol
im bad at estimating distances
maybe i should experiment with higer/lower fov
slight ouch
ive killed him 10 times all with different weapons
plancon and any polarm works wonders
Plancon beats everything I stg
the only thing it cant beat is cancer
but even then
im not so sure if it cant

im saying the tier itself
Plancon has cancer??❓ ⁉️
cus that is ass
naah that sucks
Barons?
Is not just regular greatsword he has?
they dont have visible flesh so its just hit till theyre on ground
You gotta focus on blunt force
its like the same height as him
Oh word I didn’t realize it was even bigger lol
Baron also got a higher strength stat right?
He holds it like a longsword the one time I got him to use it lol
Probably just scaled up w the size id guess
Probably
It’s not the size of the great sword but how you use your great sword
Imo the baron isn't hard to use, you just gotta Half Sword
Nah size matters a lot
size matters cause if it was smaller it wouldn’t be a greatsword now would it
ANY sword can be great. Dont limit it to big ones
Baron is definitely compensating
King energy
Everything he has is long except for one thing
It didn’t scale with the rest of his body 😭
i want muramasa of jetstream sam as modded weapon here
His mace?
Nah
😭
Then what...
Notice how his armor doesn’t have a cod piece like most armor sets from the century
Mmhh
He has nothing to protect
Maybe he can’t even fit in one tho.::
Plot twist
Maybe…
Someone’s gonna have to pants the baron to find out though
Fine smh
I wonder what's the top middle one is..?
THE HIVE 🔥 🔥 🔥
H-HALF SWORDD
BEE MOVIEEEE
LIKE JAZZ
real shit I feel bad for the dude in bee movie, fr got his girl stolen by a bug
Was the only sane mf in that movie
His game was too low
If your wife is willing to leave you for a fuckin insect
Ragebaited by a bee until his girl got the ick
Fr
maybe im better with an axe 💀
sheesh
Damn nice
Everyone complains about axes yet no one complains about plancon lol
We dont talk abt the plancon....
Wait tbh
Every weapon is op if u get a good enough hit
yeah maybe lol
just gotta figure out the distance and then wham
