[stark steeple]

i guess i just cant make parrying work

[fresh gyro]

womp womp

[shell bronze]

move your weapon less than you think

[naive granite]

😡 😡 that makes me so angr y

[stark steeple]

i try to but i always completely miss or go in the wrong direction

its almos like every time i parry he switches directions, and every time i attack he chooses the line im not defending in

[ruby prairie]

classic kratos line

[shell bronze]

they feint

clips where ai feint

[stark steeple]

like do you just have fucking superfast reflexes or something?

cuz that seems impossible to me

you parried him before i even knew what direction he was attacking

[shell bronze]

what can i say i used to play a lot of osu

[dreamy phoenix]

fist play kicks so much ass

[ruby prairie]

pause

[dreamy phoenix]

sorry

*punches

[shell bronze]

hes right you know

@stark steeple

[ruby prairie]

mfw i'm looking for punching content but accidentally find fist play content

[stark steeple]

like i win but i do get hit alot

[naive granite]

https://tenor.com/view/kratos-god-of-war-уфф-мощные-gif-11566920617641678612

[stark steeple]

yea, im not gonna ever get that good no matter how hard i practice 😭

[dreamy phoenix]

the only problem with fist play is that the enemy ai is pretty easy to defeat

[shell bronze]

there's a certain tell to the opponents that give you a good read on what they might/will do

[dreamy phoenix]

the beauty of Half-Sword is being yourself, khkh

[shell bronze]

their guards give it away

[dreamy phoenix]

you will eventually learn to read opponents, that's a given

[stark steeple]

in all im 76 hours i still am not good

[shell bronze]

the way to exploit it is to bait them into swinging/stabbing with a fast twitch forward

then finding/making openings

[stark steeple]

even thought i did beat the ultimate challenge

[stark steeple]

somehow

[shell bronze]

it works for every weapon

against every enemy

[stark steeple]

i can backpeddal a step to avoid an attack just fine

[flint python]

pls fix this game all it does is crash final fights

[stark steeple]

its just that i completely miss the attack whenever it ry to parry

[shell bronze]

gotta practice more weapon control/placement

[stark steeple]

pretty sure if that guy has the defensive AI its alot more difficult to do that

[dreamy phoenix]

the only workaround right now is turning off gore

[flint python]

no fun

whole point i play it

[shell bronze]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1043854764095582260/1409346577767862272/7A41FA1.mp4?ex=68b99208&is=68b84088&hm=6c8ab580312431d4a086347cf95cafe3e78dec168264bee7c2249d3d56c7fb35&

[stark steeple]

i think the issue is the lack of depth perfception

i just have no idea where my oponents weapon is

[dreamy phoenix]

understandable

[dreamy phoenix]

this and no sense of weight pressing against your weapon when parrying

[shell bronze]

its a shame he didnt and he died

[dreamy phoenix]

so you kind of have to get used to the game's physics to actually do some cool shit

[shell bronze]

the same way they all died to kitchen knives

[shell bronze]

there's only so much you can do with a mouse and 2 buttons

[stark steeple]

hm

yep

im never gonna get that good

after 75 hours my weapon accuracy is still just crap

[dreamy phoenix]

I mean

you don't have to

you can always put an hour or so into practicing shit if you want to
but you don't have to

[stark steeple]

well i just started college so im afraid not

[shell bronze]

on god its not that bad

you have to specifically practice it

isolate every other variable

all damage and gore off

[dreamy phoenix]

my accuracy isn't the best either but I find another kind of beauty in finding weird unconventional moves and swings

[shell bronze]

dont worry about winning the fight or whatever

[dreamy phoenix]

and exploiting the engine to move faster, pff

[ruby glade]

Ol' Reliable

[dreamy phoenix]

love how it got nerfed but it didn't stop it

[shell bronze]

i work a 50 hour blue collar work week gng you'll be fine

[stark steeple]

lol

[shell bronze]

for me i like to recreate movesets from games

[stark steeple]

just headbutted a willie to the ground

[shell bronze]

like this water stance heavy attack chain from ghost of tsushima

specifically used against a shield user the way the original game also intended

[stark steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/tired-done-im-done-after-school-school-gif-5682065

yea im just gonna quit trying to make excuses, doesnt matter either wayt

[gloomy shadow]

-# Neeerd /j
I just do a figure 8 or slash for the limbs

[slender hull]

Looks like this game is wayyy more cpu heavy than gpu.
I can run high graphics with 3050 6gb now instead of the 1060, but the blood and gore still chugs it with carnages after a while

[gloomy shadow]

And if I got the pitchfork well

Just hold it forward really

[shell bronze]

it's because physics

[slender hull]

and probably non-existent optimization currently

[shell bronze]

more or less

i have a top percentile build though so i'm excited for EA

all the blood and all the gore at 1440p

[livid shard]

What mods do u use

[shell bronze]

loadout selector and trainer

[slender hull]

My gpu’s ok but the cpu is lacking, hopefully I’ll be able to play EA above 60fps at all times if it’s optimized well

[shell bronze]

trainer to spawn stuff and save loadouts

[slender hull]

1080p

[shell bronze]

1080p should be fine

i have a battleship build (7800x3d and 7900 xtx 24gb) so i'm expecting good results at 1440p60

[slender hull]

Damm

[stark steeple]

everytime i try to do something cool i just kinda die

[shell bronze]

if it locks to 60 even with multiple willies getting cut in half with max blood i'll be happy

[shell bronze]

first you gotta do it without considering the cool factor

the cool comes naturally once you master it

[slender hull]

I’m being held back by i5-7400 unfortunately

[stark steeple]

but thats never gonna happen so i just try to be cool anyways

[slender hull]

Hopefully 1080p gaming with constant avg 60fps will be possible with further optimizations

[tough yew]

It’ll definitely be interesting to see the optimization for the gore

Considering the amount of stuff they want to include in it

[stark steeple]

i cant deal with the fact that i still suck anymore

this game just isnt mine to master

[slender hull]

6 guys heavily chug it for me rn, can’t imagine a war

[livid shard]

Ws

[shell bronze]

at 70 hours i was braindead bashing people with superstrength and invincibility with a poleaxe in knight tier and didnt play a single other tier you'll be fine

didn't lock in until my 200th hour or so

[tough yew]

I’ve become too good with polearms

[stark steeple]

its weird bc im actually decent with the bigger longswords

[tough yew]

discovered a trick that makes em even better

[dreamy phoenix]

axe guys go for the overheads 90% of the time,pfff

[shell bronze]

i suck at them

all i know is going for headshots and basic weapon displacement against axes and other polearms

[tough yew]

Alt lets your polearm reach farther for an enemy thus granting you a hit

[mental kelp]

yes this is literally one of the best moves

super fast if you do it right also

[tough yew]

Useful with almost every polearm

[shell bronze]

it also allows you to do actual bullshit sometimes too

[mental kelp]

same with holding and then releasing shortened grip

[shell bronze]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1043854764095582260/1409752438335995954/1944AE1.MP4?ex=68b9ba85&is=68b86905&hm=dfe3c004e3910fd65b01f2cccc99ca22781a0016bb1beb6b0b1b33c1455420e5&

[mental kelp]

to strike

[shell bronze]

ts

[stark steeple]

damn

[stark steeple]

i probably wont ever get to 200 hours

[shell bronze]

shame

[dreamy phoenix]

don't clinch with an axe that's close to your face

[shell bronze]

i'm definitely on a good path to 1k hours between playtest demo and EA soon

[shell bronze]

happens

[stark steeple]

im not too bad at polearms

i usually just hit them in the head so hard they pass out

[stark steeple]

bruh that aint human anymore

[shell bronze]

works against armor too

[stark steeple]

what do you use for making clips?

i just use obs and then encode them with handbrake

makes em look good

[shell bronze]

steam

plain and simple straight off the clipboard feature

[stark steeple]

on the other hand:

[lusty cove]

what if it wasnt on the other hand?

[quick thistle]

lol

[stark steeple]

death snuggle

sometimes you just gotta bonk

[lusty cove]

although i cant prove it that tag u got there has something interesting in it

[quick thistle]

You're imagining stuff

[stark steeple]

UGH

[lusty cove]

right

[shell bronze]

but honestly its not hard to win a fight in half sword

after a bit you automatically know the easiest way to kill willies

thats when it becomes a matter of style

[stark steeple]

after 1000 hours maybe

[shell bronze]

and imposed challenges like no damage

[quick thistle]

LOL

[stark steeple]

idk i just cant deal with commoner combat

i just cant parry attacks

[lusty cove]

i got my fucking eyes on you got it?

[shell bronze]

thats ok there's multiple disciplines of combat for all playstyles

[quick thistle]

crazy

[shell bronze]

but honestly those poleaxe headshots are the easiest ticket to victory

[stark steeple]

i usually just hope the enemy misses

[shell bronze]

make them miss

thats how i fight

bait them into attacking then punish

[stark steeple]

cant if i cant parry them

[shell bronze]

learn to use dodging and movement to the point of being mostly untouchable, then incorporate parrying

[stark steeple]

i can dodge but i cant parry 😭

[shell bronze]

gotta know how to get away from the danger properly before you toy with it

[lapis marsh]

@shell bronze what tier should i practice on to prove myself

[shell bronze]

prove what about yourself

[lapis marsh]

idk

[lapis marsh]

just get more skill i guess

[stark steeple]

idk what this even is

[shell bronze]

if you're looking for a challenge go unarmored/gambeson and helmet only with polearm of choice against man at arms and knight

[stark steeple]

"nuh uh"

[shell bronze]

unarmored no/minimal damage brave stands are so peak

it's another good way to challenge oneself

save loadout with weapon(s) of choice and take on a brave stand unharmed or with no red on your screen afterwards

[stark steeple]

me when the lightsaber ass sword

[modern sable]

It's easy when you have that huge ass mountain sword

[stark steeple]

game just punished me for even trying to learn

[shell bronze]

go do it no damage then

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1043854764095582260/1411897981002842112/329B1F1.MP4?ex=68b99fb6&is=68b84e36&hm=5e58e6a9ca5f7d65dcc03a7668c5786e971c401d0502f04ee404b60ff9f78fdf&

and i only use that sword because its a bit quicker than the regular commoner ones i use

i got footage of me beating brave stands with a falchion and both of my commoner swords

[shell bronze]

it's a fun sword to use, its the secondary weapon they give the knights and the main one they give man at arms

[stark steeple]

i mean im trying to parry here, seems like a dead end to me

its just completely useless

[modern sable]

It sucks cus they changed the fighting style from the beta

It used to be tighter and more fluid motions

[shell bronze]

you had a great opening for a parry from the right backswing

gotta use more movement boss

and less twitchy/hyper cautious movements

turn damage to yourself down to practice

[stark steeple]

then my sword doesnt have enough energy and just gets pushed away, basically making the block null

[modern sable]

When you swing your sword wide like that it takes it off course from the parry, you gotta keep the form tight

[lusty cove]

guys im liduly the willy harbor butcher

[shell bronze]

@modern sable

mountain sword right

[modern sable]

Yeah it needs to be shorter, you're not really challenging yourself

And the guys need to be wearing full knight armor

[shell bronze]

oh this is ragebait

ok

[modern sable]

It's just not really immersive

[shell bronze]

if what you seek is immersion my clips are not for you

john longsword has the better realistic combat clips

[modern sable]

I'm not being serious

[shell bronze]

w/e

[stark steeple]

it rlly sucks when an attack comes from one side, and my sword jus happens to be on the other

i just cant move it fast and precise enough

[shell bronze]

thats when you simply move back and readjust

stay in longpoint if you want that middle ground

place your sword against wherever he's winding up

and crouch if you think he's striking low

[modern sable]

Yeah I'm hoping they change it up in campaign mode

[stark steeple]

it seems that i just suck with light swords

i got a heavier one and theyre dropping like flies

[modern sable]

Could be your mouse settings just work with heavier weapons

[shell bronze]

light swords are garbage thats why i use them in veteran and below

builds character

[stark steeple]

no but i mean like a light light sword

[modern sable]

I remember when I used to be able to make fluid motions but ever since I lost my high end mouse I can't play this game without getting dogged on

[stark steeple]

yknow those arming swords that willie decides to use in 2 hands

for some reason

[modern sable]

The needles?

[shell bronze]

thats my main sword you see me use yeah

[stark steeple]

i specifically mean this one

not just this series

specifically this one

[shell bronze]

you're talking about the flat guard one

that one is nice

works well when its longer

i fight man at arms with it

[stark steeple]

yea

but this one aint

like its literally the length of an arming sword

[shell bronze]

that's hella long choom

[stark steeple]

and bc its so light the sponginess of the controlls really becomes apparent

[shell bronze]

my main sword about 60-70% the length of that and a third the width

[stark steeple]

look now this is a sword

[shell bronze]

they all kill the same to me

[modern sable]

Do you get image perms from boosting?

[shell bronze]

iirc yes

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1043854764095582260/1407231264318160916/7644CC1.MP4?ex=68b9c8fe&is=68b8777e&hm=77b8b59bef8c68e77f5e4e75dd0559fd546fdc9ec4af1195ab9b0e4d2bc5c7e9&

anything that has a long enough blade and can be held with 2 hands works

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1043854764095582260/1407227952961163334/1DB2C41.MP4?ex=68b9c5e9&is=68b87469&hm=bdedcddc1290e8f621cab9bfc3c29d918d96ba5c38c777b023ec13719b1083ce&

[stark steeple]

reminds me

[modern sable]

It says I posted the video but nothing's popping up

[stark steeple]

i was getting downvoted on reddit bc i said some daggers dont cut well and some do

:/

in response to someone saying daggers cant cut

[modern sable]

Everything but the potato peeler cuts good

[shell bronze]

daggers don't cut super well because of the way willie swings them + less length to work with but they work about the same as everything else

its all sharp shit that cuts

[stark steeple]

i mean irl

😅

someone deadass argued that real life daggers cant cut

[shell bronze]

oh hell no

[modern sable]

Daggers are just pocket swords

Of course they can cut

[shell bronze]

me when a length of sharpened metal can't cut

[stark steeple]

i literally said that

and their respons was

"i dare you to say that to sellsword arts"

[shell bronze]

today we fall for ragebajt

[modern sable]

Maybe they're thinking of serpent daggers?

[stark steeple]

i was getting downvoted for literally averything

[stark steeple]

it was 4 different people

and the disscussion was like deadass

[modern sable]

But even then they cut just as good

[shell bronze]

then you're in the wrong discussion

being the smartest person and choosing to remain in the room of idiots only makes you the smartest idiot there

[stark steeple]

i mean i got out quite quickly

once they started actually saying that stuff i just left

[stark steeple]

now that i think about it

it might just have been transphobia :/

oh well

[lean ferry]

[steady cove]

So a grey hat?

[lean ferry]

free macbook or stealing all the robux of a 10 year old? hmmm

probably

[steady cove]

Lol.

[lean ferry]

I might steal the robux sell it back to roblox and give it to his mum as compensation for that little brat

the money I get from rolox

[lean ferry]

also Im assuming you are also into cybersecurity bc u are talking about it

if so are you like a beginner or

apt level criminal mastermind

what is taking bro so long to type

I watched 10 shorts already dawg

[steady cove]

Professional wise; a beginner. I am looking to get into a career as a cybersecurity analyst working in a SOC environment. But cybersecurity is a foundation, everyone has some form of experience in cybersecurity one way or another, it’s why so many don’t click on malicious links sent via an email.

[lean ferry]

what do they have a weapon for 💔

Thank you!

any other builds i don't know about...

[tender quest]

kicking should be limited to the lower tiers, it has no place in t6+ as its unsportsmanlike

[ebon ermine]

idk

[restive barn]

For decoration

Duh

[steady cove]

I mean you’re only as important as how much damage you cause and how much you stolen, they focus their time taking down bigger organisations.

[ebon ermine]

besides that, it just seems really stupid like it cant be more effective to kick than wacking someone in the head with your mace

[steady cove]

It depends on what you do, they’re not going to chase down someone who is making little versus you know, a single hacker who bypasses security flaws on say a bank account.

[lean ferry]

most hackers leave backdoors to acess again clearing the guy out slowly and slowly like a leach

bc if someone stole everything at one time it would be way too obvious

Until they find the backdoor and realise they’re compromised or say a victim starts noticing his account is being drained overtime.

[lean ferry]

not really most dont realise it I know a friend that had a cryto miner on his pc FOR 2 YEARS most wouldnt even realise or think the banks stealing people can be dumb, most already are.

I was more meaning on websites that have sophisticated security that keeps track on any anomalies.

Although I will say that 2 years isn’t A lot, it doesn’t mean that they won’t catch on soon.

Have you heard the story about the guy who managed to gain infinite money with the glitch from an Australian bank?

[lean ferry]

anomalies? Unless you're talking about them somehow detecting an sql Injection Im not so sure

[steady cove]

No I am just an individual with a real interest in cybersecurity.

thats cool but what does it have to do with halfsword? i have no problem with you discussing it in https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1086506182090440794

[ebon ermine]

[candid saffron]

i really really struggle with having an even fight and deflecting blows in the gauntlet idk wtf to do guys

i felel like any attempt to parry just gets me killed

😭

[ebon ermine]

tf spunchbob do 💔 🥀

[lapis marsh]

what weapon you using

[candid saffron]

its the gauntlet so whatever i can get my hands on

but i typically be dying to the commoners with swords unless i get the pitchfork off the peasant

[lapis marsh]

you can spawn with the pitchfork right away

it takes a lot of practice to get good with parries

[shell bronze]

parrying is not recommended

dodging and learning to time/land strikes is the move

much more effective

[hot igloo]

How much will it cost? Who will come out?

[ebon ermine]

hand slipped 🥀

[atomic stump]

how did you skin him so good

[lapis marsh]

oopsie doopsie

another fantastic night of after-work half sword

[atomic stump]

Two questions

Can I have some and can I have the pencil

[shell bronze]

yes and no

you may have some whiskey but not the pencil

[ebon ermine]

hmm

[shell bronze]

also first clip of the night (warm up) for you to analyze and take from @atomic stump

[half pollen]

Guns in the store page image?

[shell bronze]

notice the way i exploit openings with predictive parrying and strikes that cover me off from any potential backswings

[lapis marsh]

yes they had guns back then

[ebon ermine]

werent there guns in this time period

i only know that because i played kingdom come deliverance 🥀

[lapis marsh]

very very primitve but they were guns yes

more like minaturised handheld cannons tbh

[half pollen]

Early guns yes
Point of the message is asking if this is subtle confirmation guns will be in the game sorry

[soft osprey]

Yes

[ebon ermine]

probably not but maybe

[lapis marsh]

they have said they're adding crossbows and the like at some point, so i wouldnt be suprised

[ebon ermine]

oh yea i forgot about that

[shell bronze]

i can't wait to see what kind of wizardry they're gonna pull off to get a traditional bow working

drawstring and all

[soft osprey]

As long as you dont take it as pure historical fact, and actually research it, it’s fine to learn things from video games!

[lapis marsh]

this looks like a flesh talisman

[quartz totem]

try this move

[soft kelp]

LMAO

WHAT THE FUCK

[lusty cove]

the look of terrror as he realises hes mere milliseconds from death

[quartz totem]

this was all the way back this time last year

there were like one or two bugs KEKW

[candid saffron]

not on the gauntlet

[quartz totem]

farmer tier?

[lusty cove]

hes bouta get decapitated

[candid saffron]

i rlly struggle with fighting sword guys who can hurt me so easily when i have aynthing less than a pitchfork or twoaxe

[candid saffron]

sorry i mean baron gauntlet

final gauntlet

[quartz totem]

ah

yea just get like a plancon or a voulge and go crazy

[candid saffron]

man idk what thsoe are

[quartz totem]

parrying is an ass when you have 3 attacks

[quartz totem]

big pointy spikey stick and stick with metal on end that looks like a long halberd

[shell bronze]

try feinting them

[candid saffron]

van u do that

[shell bronze]

hold shift and press w for the tiniest bit, then immediately back off with s

see what happens

they're gonna throw their next attack at you

[candid saffron]

yeah but the sword guys normally combo when i do that

[quartz totem]

these two weapons

[shell bronze]

take advantage of that to throw hits

[shell bronze]

keep feinting until a bigger opening presents itself

like an overhead

[candid saffron]

bro idk how you expect me to get those weapons on first tier if baton gauntlet

[candid saffron]

this is good stuff

[shell bronze]

i have proof of this working on every enemy type

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043854764095582260/1412954297100013678/4488C41.MP4?ex=68ba2bbb&is=68b8da3b&hm=0fe1020bd890daf09ee34690d02c704b4328dcf5bfc2d4aada4e188cc01aa623&

but this clip pretty much covers the basics of how to beat half sword easily

ignore the parrying

[candid saffron]

i don’t wanna

i’d like to see u do this w a shorter weapon than ur opponent

[shell bronze]

the important part is how i take advantage of the openings and swing in a way that covers me from backswings/further damage

[atomic stump]

Clueless i wanna see how you play when your completely fucking trashed

[shell bronze]

please don't say that i have way too many clips of that as it is

[candid saffron]

bc the going in and out of their range

is the hard part

[shell bronze]

do you want sword v sword

dagger v sword

sword v polearm

or what

[candid saffron]

cleaver v sword

[shell bronze]

ask and you shall receive

[atomic stump]

dagger v polearm

[candid saffron]

you wanna give it to me so bad

[lusty cove]

1 singular swing and he got completely decimated

[shell bronze]

by cleaver you mean the falchion right

@candid saffron

[shell bronze]

can i have 2 or just 1

[candid saffron]

no i mean

cleaver

homeless mans knife

vs a regular sword

[atomic stump]

what about both

[mental kelp]

brother did not even try

[quartz totem]

you know how stabbing works yea?

[candid saffron]

yeayh

[quartz totem]

stab someone basically once in torso

and they are done

[shell bronze]

oh lmao

[candid saffron]

its hard to get there when theres a whole mf sword right there

[shell bronze]

that shi easy

here

[quartz totem]

use feint pushes as clueless said and one hand stab punish

so you can have more range(your whole extended arm)

[shell bronze]

@candid saffron

[quartz totem]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-gif-22455895

[candid saffron]

oh yeah ur just quicker than i am

[quartz totem]

same clip

[shell bronze]

the trick is to begin your attack right as they swing instead of after

i have the game open rn let me demonstrate

[lusty cove]

YET ANOTHER one meets the same fate

[atomic stump]

idk if you saw this but @shell bronze

[shell bronze]

@candid saffron

not a clean clip

but the principle applies

[lusty cove]

ahem

[shell bronze]

i don't play half sword when i'm trashed i practice piano or go work on one of my other hobbies

[lusty cove]

btw this is what 1 day without halfsword does to the human body

[atomic stump]

oop a man of talent i see

[timid token]

the only thing that makes the ultimate challenge even somewhat difficult is the severe amount of crashes

they are so annoying

[lusty cove]

this man is about to be decapitated

i stand corrected

he looks to be in pain

[timid token]

how did you flay him]

[lusty cove]

no questions

[ebon ermine]

probably gave the npc invulnerability using a mod menu and just kept hacking at him

[ebon ermine]

https://tenor.com/view/megamind-gif-26070434

[lusty cove]

nah its js the sword im using... and absolutely incredible luck

idek how

[timid token]

no way

[lusty cove]

but like 3 times i instantly skinned 3 willys heads

[ebon ermine]

literally lost half of his body and kept walking 💔

[lusty cove]

he did not walk after that

[ebon ermine]

its the thought that counts

[timid token]

Even with a good pc why is the cinematic mode so choppy

[ebon ermine]

not meant for gameplay

[shell bronze]

parry practice fail

[ebon ermine]

Still you can get a good 40-60 fps on it

[ebon ermine]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-3018175339177676319

[atomic stump]

@shell bronzethis was pretty good right?

[lusty cove]

ts looks like 2faces origin

[shell bronze]

much better

now try to focus on doing parries without taking damage

start learning ai stances and the directions they swing in from those stances

[atomic stump]

just like this right?

[quartz totem]

1-10?

[shell bronze]

if you'd crouched and kept your weapon there it would have been instant weapon control over the other guy

[atomic stump]

okiii

[shell bronze]

here's a clip

@atomic stump

notice how i probe and read the ai

[atomic stump]

This was pretty good

[shell bronze]

yeah but one handed guys are fodder

HOWEVER

they're amazing at practicing left side crouch parries

[atomic stump]

I might be to close bc my sword tends to slice their face everytime i parry

[formal chasm]

your riposte game is weak

[mental kelp]

zucken

[quartz totem]

how are your wrists so stiff btw?

[shell bronze]

me when i parry practice and i get ragebaited

[quartz totem]

ever since sword handling changed i had to adapt more fluid motions

[shell bronze]

lower sens

controlled movements are key

[shell bronze]

try this

[formal chasm]

brother do you legit know the name of every longsword technique

[atomic stump]

my sword might be to long lol

[formal chasm]

thats cool as hell tho

[shell bronze]

what's so wrong with that

[formal chasm]

killing them WHILE you parry is extra cool

[formal chasm]

i want to learn from the old master

[mental kelp]

I wrote the book on ts

[lusty cove]

is vro playing gorilla tag

[shell bronze]

dude way too many fuckin sword enemies

i need a one handed user so i can show my apprentice how to do his thing

[atomic stump]

Why cant we halfsword the other way

[quartz totem]

i do smth similar to this(just a bit sillier, for extra toon effect)

[shell bronze]

and if i counter-attack every strike then the fights are just gonna end in 1-2 hits @formal chasm

and that makes for a boring ass clip

for every parry practice clip there are 10 clips where i parry and kill the guy and move on

[shell bronze]

ouch rip throat

[formal chasm]

fair enough the AI is kinda weak rn

sometimes they'll chain 4-5 attacks tho

[mental kelp]

dup

[shell bronze]

of course when i do find a one handed guy he DOESN'T do the move that they always do

dude LITERALLY bailed out of the leg sweep to try poking me with his dagger

[atomic stump]

CLLUELESS WHAS THIS BETTERRRR

[quartz totem]

oof

close call

if he was better aligned he woulda cut u up

[atomic stump]

hehehehehe

[mental kelp]

sometimes the strong must be used

hope they improve willie footwork in ea

[atomic stump]

@mental kelp my third father how was this

[mental kelp]

can't even wtch it on my pc

one sec

on my phone I can

[atomic stump]

@shell bronze

[shell bronze]

if he had a bit more space your liver would've been missing

[mental kelp]

tbh dun even know how you parried that cause the blade was on the whole other side. but it was also a useless parry; each one should open up an ability to strike thereafter without him being able to defend

[shell bronze]

or look cool

[lusty cove]

he is NOT happy

[atomic stump]

ight what abot this one clueless

[green shell]

Autism 👍

[formal chasm]

this move is op right now

[atomic stump]

Wasnt even on purpose

[austere salmon]

hey john longsword, i drew up a basic blueprint for the design of halberd i plan to make for Buhurt, want to see?

[mental kelp]

Yea

[atomic stump]

SLEEPYBOI YOOOO

HAIIII

[austere salmon]

behold

its a bit cartoonish but im a redneck with shaking hands and a headache

[austere salmon]

hi von, im starting work on my halberd

[atomic stump]

i seee it looks coll so far!

cool*

[azure mirage]

yurr

[austere salmon]

the idea is:
the front blade is a solid crescent design similar to rennaissance era halberds, but the top spike is a heavier, bladed design, and the rear is a pointed, hamemr like reinforced spike for crumpling and piercing armor plating

the whole thing will be 12 pounds including hte haft, which is quite ab it heavier than historical precedent but i stand at about three times the size of the average historical guardsman

[quartz totem]

thats about heavy as a bitch

[azure mirage]

that would be big as heeellllll

[quartz totem]

is the shaft metal aswell?

[gaunt sapphire]

rawr

[atomic stump]

ooooo

[azure mirage]

a dude from that era is like 5'5

[austere salmon]

it'll have metal reinforcements going down about six inches from when the head meets the haft, but there will be a steel spike at the bottom as well

the haft itself will be made from either oak or ash

[austere salmon]

5'5 and maybe 120 pounds, i stand at 6'2 and 240 pounds, not including armor

[azure mirage]

a guard would be like 150

[austere salmon]

i figure a heavier head with a 6 foot haft will give me power without sacrificing mobility and leverage on account of my height and background as a groundskeeper, so im good at hoisting and heaving heavy shit

[austere salmon]

i still have a good 90 pounds and 7 inches on them

[azure mirage]

i mean yeah you're a titan compared to a guard from back then

[quartz totem]

shit man, how heavy is your weapon now? thats gonna take a toll on your endurance in a fight if your not well adapted alr

and at that rate I feel like a mace would be more effective

but shit what do i know

[austere salmon]

currently i use a six pound maul for splitting wood rather regularly, but i have to move trees and push golf carts at work on a regular basis

[austere salmon]

i am quite literally built for doing this shit

[pearl ferry]

woops you can hear me reluctantly sighing in pain

[austere salmon]

a heavier polearm head with a long haft lets me get lots of leverage and momentum without sacrificing mobility from an excessively long haft

[mental kelp]

sacrificing mobility though with 6 extra pounds

[azure mirage]

isnt that just a mace with a butt spike

and worse way distribution

[austere salmon]

no because it has a big fuckoff axe blade on the front

[azure mirage]

weight*

[soft osprey]

Three times the size?? Are you the mountain? the average size was supposedly 5’7-5’9

[austere salmon]

john i move trees regularly

[atomic stump]

w mans

[austere salmon]

5'7 and maybe 120-150 pounds, i stand at 6'2 240 pounds and regularly move trees at work

[azure mirage]

i guess he means the three size the volume
