It would be nice if in free mode you could pick any of the group modes (Carnage, Brave Stand, Spoilage etc.)

[hexed sandal]

Ooh...nice play.

[sour socket]

no, that one's a 50/50 every time I fight him

[hexed sandal]

I think I halfsworded him...

I think.

[mental kelp]

best I can give ya is a nice place down. slam is too high for me

[small glen]

interesting fact: This dent can generate from just about literally anything, similar to clothing tearing

[near garnet]

bro is a pipe dream

hey lads anyone got a work around for the crash that happens in the final gauntlent challenge. I've tried increases video memory and turning gore off, but it still crashes, normally when the armour begins to drop towards the end

[simple vale]

having a bit of fun setting npc damage to 0 and just messing them up

[small glen]

Hello it's me pointy stick enjoyer, buy my shield distrack album

[ocean kite]

0 damage decaps are actual hell

they just scream for eternity

[wheat jay]

nice recommendation

[pearl yarrow]

Where multiplayer?

[young saffron]

when your having willie fights and you enter a flow state and block every single strike for like 2 minutes and kill 100 willies:

[idle crane]

Local splitscreen multiplayer will be available in the early access release later this year. Network multiplayer is being looked into but is not planned or guaranteed at this point in time

[blissful ledge]

help

[pearl yarrow]

How?

[blissful ledge]

got myself in a bit of a pickle

[restive barn]

next vid when

[faint crater]

i have a feeling you aren't talking about the character from halfsword

[young saffron]

How did you know

[faint crater]

im so smart

that's why i'm skipping my first class today to sleep in

so smart

[young saffron]

What slider did you use to do that in the half sword enhancer😭

Teach me the ways oh wise one

[restive barn]

he uses a modified client of half sword trainer

but this is totally recreateable with enhancer

probably

[grizzled widget]

beating the baron was really fulfilling. Tho I wish you could use his armor in the different levels... you know-

-# for fun

also, is there any way for my dude to fight longer when a hand is cut off? I swear the AI's have more in them since those guys get their forearm cut in half and still swing for a solid minute or two. Meanwhile my guy just doesnt do anything but hold the stump lmao

I know that's a death sentence in the time period and all. But at least let me try to get the bastard that took righty-

[signal wedge]

What a polite lil fella

[young saffron]

you can get the half sword enhancer off github and turn on no pain. It basically allows you to fight after you've lost a limb.

really fun

[fiery iris]

is there a way to headbut?

[gaunt sapphire]

someone managed to steal my pencil case in 7 fucking seconds time frame in school 🤑

sometimes i think planting remote ied in my stuff is a good idea

oh wait wrong chat i should be in general bye losers

[wind holly]

guys what is this guy with golden armor im about to face

i hope hes easy

[worn breach]

How do i restart the game (start again)

[wind holly]

i dont know how but i won

does my progress reset if i die as baron?

[pastel barn]

Can yall tell me how to "hip/headlock throw," people

[hasty blade]

https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1414969510275842140 Is my suggestion buns or am i onto sum?

[hasty blade]

😭

Fuck chair willie

i will shove a candlestick up his ass 😭

[naive granite]

i can

first of all they are removed

but it can still be performed if they have a leg injury,or if they are trying to get on their knees

watch this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkklP_vuKHI

[naive granite]

headlock throw isnt a thing

you can still take them down by just trying to get on top of them in a headlock

but you cant directly headlock throw

because its removed

[restive barn]

they used to call me the kicksmith

because im good at kicking

[naive granite]

hmmmm

[lofty tusk]

I wonder why

[pastel barn]

why

[lofty tusk]

I no longer wonder why

[naive granite]

i dont know,but you cant do these anymore

they either need to be injured like a leg injury or liver/stomach area

so they get on their knees or they get no balance

[pastel barn]

by kicking_

_

[naive granite]

exactly

[lofty tusk]

@naive granite i wish your name had a h after the z

[naive granite]

why

[lofty tusk]

[restive barn]

SQUASH

THAT KILLED HIM

[naive granite]

i just learned so much about the q4 update

its going to be crazy they are overdelivering

[pliant iron]

whats q4 update

[pearl ferry]

some exchanges

[remote kindle]

Man why do weapons Stick so much to enemies when you cut them

it's like glued

when you cut off an arm or their entire torso

[rare hearth]

because thats how it works in real life..?

[remote kindle]

if i cut your arm clean off, my axe is not gonna stay attached to your body

and even if i pull it doesn't come off

[rare hearth]

oh you mean that

[remote kindle]

yeah

[rare hearth]

yeah just a slight bug

[remote kindle]

Like Clean cut but i'm stuck to them

[rare hearth]

i lowk thought u said why when u slash someone the sword gets stuck in the flesh instead of going though like its nothing

[remote kindle]

no no

[rare hearth]

sometimes the axe gets stuck on like a pixel

[sand herald]

idk at this point lol, i keep on getting newer and better clips for my current compilation which holds the entire thing back

[sand herald]

yeah what chrome said, i use my own modded version of half sword trainer

[rare hearth]

if theyre dead just let go of the axe and pick it up again

if not then oh well goodluck

[shell bronze]

where john longsword at

[tender quest]

[pastel barn]

[pastel barn]

can yalls tell me how to break b*nes

[pearl ferry]

hit hard

where the joints are

(knees and elbows)

[proper palm]

@shell bronze Would this count as a parry?

[potent pagoda]

hit the joints with blunts

[shell bronze]

yeah

[pastel barn]

can i br*ak jaw bone

[pastel barn]

how do yall clip with nvidia

[proper palm]

i just cut off a full armors arm off

lmfao

[sand herald]

i use instant replay to capture the last 2 mins of gameplay, then i use Shotcut to clip the good parts

[pastel barn]

what keybindings to you use

[sand herald]

for some reason my keybind doesn't work, so i just pull up the nvidia menu rq and click the instant replay button instead

[fossil jacinth]

neither does mine

[pearl ferry]

if you're on default win11 you can press win+g and bring upgame tab

it records up to 2 minutes

[fossil jacinth]

i keep pressing alt z and nothing happens

i geniunly have to record beforehand

[fossil jacinth]

if u find a fix lmk

[sand herald]

i'm only using nvidia because my game bar stopped working for some reason

[pearl ferry]

it doesnt visibly break but u can hear it crack

[fossil jacinth]

i have no xbox game bar from a "debloated" windows isntall

[safe crest]

can some1 send me in dms the newest halfsword enhancer file, its been removed from nexus mods

[stuck fjord]

Finally

Can I die here?

Do I have to restart if I die

[inland ore]

Turned my back in the abyss for half a second to pick up a weapon, in that time a pitchfork willie spawned directly behind me and stabbed me through the spine

[safe crest]

no

[stuck fjord]

Thank god

I would've been too nervous to start

[limber imp]

why dosent willy have a brain when i cut his head open

[sick mountain]

Guys, how do I get through the spiky stick men without a spiky stick (I am doing ultimate challenge)

[limber imp]

with a weapon

[hearty lodge]

i feel like parrying is impossible, if i actively try to parry the passive parry fucks me over but if i just stand still in a guard the passive parry barely moves and i get hit anyway. Is there any way to turn off passive parry? cause I was a lot better at parrying before that was implemented.

[sick mountain]

I get a weapon, It still doesn't break through

[pastel barn]

can i shove a sword up the enemys *ss

[limber imp]

it annoys me so much but i learned to go in with the auto parry

[shell bronze]

a lot of modded weapons don't got it

[grizzled widget]

ooooooouh, this sounds interesting. Does the damage to the muscle/bone still affect your swing speed/strenght?

[young saffron]

I don’t think it does. Although I’ve never broke a bone with the modifier on

[grizzled widget]

bones can break with enough blunt. usually if you up the dmg npcs or you take its more often. you can do so on vanilla game settings with a slider

if you put dmg to minimum you're able to like, get really cut up and so do the npcs

[pastel barn]

how do i send clips to this particular channel

please

[inland ore]

It feels like a light scrape to my arm makes me unable to properly wield anything before instantly dropping it, I know cuts hurt and all, but I should still be able to use my arm after someone nicked me

[pastel barn]

they should add ground submissions. it would be fun to break someones arm with a armbar or choke someone till braindamage

[north crater]

guys is it possible please to change ur body urself and not "randomly"

[proper palm]

i'm improving on my parries

[cedar plume]

how can i even play this game

?

[proper palm]

hold m1 and move your mose to move your sword

and

boom

[cedar plume]

i mean how do i download

[proper palm]

oh

download the beta

[cedar plume]

cuz on steam it tells me i got no permission

[soft osprey]

Steam or epic games store

[soft osprey]

On the demo

[proper palm]

epic games?

whaa

?

[cedar plume]

wait

why tf did it tell me no permissions to download 2 mins ago and now i can

steam trippin

[proper palm]

common bug

[proper palm]

release date is later this year, yes?

[faint crater]

the first question in the #faq says that early access will release in Q4 of this year

[runic osprey]

He didnt even have the high ground!

[proper palm]

i read it, i was seeking verification.

games have a history of being delayed

[faint crater]

well there will be an announcement if it gets delayed

[hollow igloo]

Has anyone both won and died at the same time then had their character come out naked

[prisma stag]

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but i actually don't like the blood puddles staying permanently.

[shell bronze]

happens

[narrow pendant]

anything I sent recently is false my acc got hacked dont fall for any images

[bleak helm]

I will go commit unalive. I just got one shotted with shears in abyss

[prisma stag]

You can say the word suicide in discord.

[bleak helm]

I wrote k y s and got blocked so I assumed suicide was blocked too

[signal wedge]

Yeah stop saying that

[cedar plume]

yo how does the abyss work

abyss

[soft osprey]

When you die you go to the abyss. You need to beat everyone up to where you died in order to come back to life

[sleek gull]

little long, but a fun bout

[soft osprey]

If you’re just playing abyss, just keep walking and making your way through the bosses as you get better gear

[cedar plume]

thanks

[sleek gull]

Ever get head butted from 5ft away?

[rustic topaz]

optimization when?😭

[naive granite]

with q4 i suppose

when is that?i dont know

[soft osprey]

Q4 is the fourth quarter of the year

[naive granite]

oh q4 means that

[lime parrot]

can I reset the game to default settings? I was messing with the sliders and I wanna go back

[faint crater]

fourth quarter means like october-december so anytime during then

[faint crater]

think there is a setting save file in the game files that you need to delete to reset

it's like under the app data for halfswordUe5, and look for "saved" or "saved games"

[lime parrot]

thanks

[faint crater]

i like how you move when you change stances

[sleek gull]

Thank you for noticing = D

[faint crater]

feels sort of like.. kendo?

i dont know much at all about real sword fighting, but i think they have a similar kind of movement

[sleek gull]

Totally. European Long Sword and Kendo have similarities.

i'm going crazy probably

[shell bronze]

you're thinking kata and more along the likes of kenjutsu

[faint crater]

maybe

no clue

[shell bronze]

since kenjutsu it's pretty much all drilling and doing what you're describing or cutting stuff up for fun

sparring is rare and not really well-endorsed by most schools

[faint crater]

oh so do they use real swords

[shell bronze]

everyone's favorite answer is that it depends

i personally do

because it's pretty much drilling and cutting inanimate stuff here and there for me i use real ones

[faint crater]

but in kenjutsu do you not spar occasionally with friends with training swords

or do schools still not like sparring with training swords

[shell bronze]

unendorsed and against my untrained friends with foam/plastic swords sure

but they hardly spar

[faint crater]

oh

interesting i suppose

gotta go to class bye

[ember flame]

i use a super high dpi so i have my mouse sens basically all the way down

but its making it kinda hard to follow through with swings

Probably referring to clipping glitch if you hit skin first

all of that shit was handmade

stabbing is a bit annoying in this game

[bleak trellis]

Yea, if i try to stab and they hit my weapon, for some reason I just cant grip it back

My characters too stupid to hold a spear or pitchfork

[shell bronze]

your grip breaks easily the longer the weapon is

[bleak trellis]

In your opinion whats the best peasant weapon

[shell bronze]

pitchfork

then 2 handed axe for second place

oh

thanks

i expected it to change at the preview

[shell bronze]

nah it's not a live change

[lapis marsh]

it happens between matches yeah

[shell bronze]

it changes during loading screens

[jade cove]

do u know whats up with the half sword enhancer?

its under review on nexus

[shell bronze]

don't know

you can still use it

ring around the rosie

[bleak trellis]

The sword that commoner has is pretty hard to use IMO

[shell bronze]

it's very easy

[bleak trellis]

Or im bad

[shell bronze]

agile, still lethal against flesh

[bleak trellis]

I have a lot of trouble parrying/blocking with it

[shell bronze]

the longer/heavier swords later on in the game need proper wind up and more accuracy

[bleak trellis]

Is it meant for blocking/parrying at all

or is it for finding open windows before strikes

[shell bronze]

in general parrying and blocking is an advanced thing in this game

[shell bronze]

not just for the swords

as a newer player you're better off fighting more evasively

[wary niche]

aight y'all I need some tips on how to beat this damn game. the closest I've got was one of these two. I havent been able to get up past Militia since then

I've done the method where you go with pointy sticks until you can get either goedendags or billhooks then going with those, but that hasent worked for me all too well. I'm pretty damn lethal with longswords/hand and a half swords but that requires getting too close to the AI

(not to mention the grete champions fuckin SUCK to fight with anything shorter than the ring)

[bleak trellis]

Highest I've gotten was Militia because fighting enemies with spears is super hard with a sword

idk how your supposed to win

[shell bronze]

take the polearm pill

[wary niche]

then we got some wild people like this lad who beat it EIGHT TIMES. like fuckin how buddy? touch some grass and write out some instructions please!!

#photography📷 message

[lapis marsh]

take the polearm pill yeah

[shell bronze]

2-3 pitchfork 4-5 plancon 6-8 voulge/poleaxe

problem solved

[bleak trellis]

Do you just stay ranged and stab?

[shell bronze]

after the pitchfork you stay ranged and beat heads in

allow me to demonstrate gracefully

[wary niche]

that's generally the polearm strat is keep them past arms length and either stabby or beat them

[shell bronze]

this is the literal simplest winning strategy

[wary niche]

I could've sworn this server had VC's...

am I just blind?

[shell bronze]

here you go

literally just do this

[wary niche]

got it so Goedendag and bludgeon

https://tenor.com/view/thumbs-up-funny-gif-5664557295072179547

[shell bronze]

if you want to bludgeon still but want more armor you can go to veteran and take the longer voulge

[wary niche]

naaah bro Goedendags just hate indiscriminantly I think I'll try that approach

[shell bronze]

shorter one still works but reach is king and leverage

[wary niche]

but of course, the FUCKING AXE GUY DOSENT GIVE A FUCK

hardest fucking boss in the game

I swear

[shell bronze]

@wary niche

[shell bronze]

oh he's straightforward

knife in the center

if big candlestick spawns use that instead

knife is always guaranteed

[wary niche]

I cant even get close enough to him to breathe the same air

[shell bronze]

you can

[wary niche]

I use the big stick every time i can cause I can keep his ass out of range

[shell bronze]

bait him into attacking and just london hi

m

[wary niche]

ok that win was actually kinda badass... staggered the guy and kicked his chin as he went down

[shell bronze]

@wary niche

[wary niche]

yo

yeah I just did that and fucked him up

[bleak trellis]

I cant seem to even kill or get killed when fighting fully armored

It almost ruins the game

when going against fully armored people I like to bash them with my hilt in the defensive position for the long sword

they go down fast

sometimes it'll stab them in the neck too

[languid osprey]

is it js me

or is the commoner boss like the hardest boss up to soldier

[shell bronze]

he is

just use pitchfork

[languid osprey]

you cant use pitchfork in commoner role

[shell bronze]

i would not tell you to use it if you couldn't

try it

[languid osprey]

honestly I avoid using op weapons cause I wanna get used to getting better at weapons not so overpowered

[shell bronze]

then longsword him

[languid osprey]

ive won multiple times against him but it’s js the fact he cuts your leg off and I die immediately

that’s why ive kinda given up on half sword

[shell bronze]

yeah becwuse he's a big man with a sharp greatsword from knight tier

the ai is the same

[languid osprey]

KNIGHT TIER?

[shell bronze]

yeah that's a knight greatsword he has

[wary niche]

yeah, you never realized that?

[languid osprey]

holy overpowered

[shell bronze]

let me go beat his azz rq

[languid osprey]

ive only made it to veteran

so I didn’t know it was a knight weapon

[wary niche]

FUCK this scythe bastard

[languid osprey]

sycthe boss is genuinely so ass

[wary niche]

like I hit him!! I'm using a hoe and i hit him!!!!! FUCKER WAS NOT PHASED

[languid osprey]

like all you have to do is charge him with heavy axe and hes bisected

[languid osprey]

js charge him with the heavy axe

for some reason he gets into a defensive pose with the sycthe

AND it’s hard to aim

I’ve lost to beggar boss more than the peasant boss

[shell bronze]

fighting my way up hol on

[shell bronze]

pitchfork and 2h axe the answer to scythe boss

whatever you do just don't do medium distance with him

either you're up close or you're on the other side of that scythe with the pitchfork trying to stab

[languid osprey]

the only times I’ve lost against the scythe is when some weird bug happens

[wary niche]

we need to set up like a GC or something so we can be on call and playing the game. I could have SWORN there was a VC in here

[languid osprey]

like one time before I was in abyss and my guy must’ve achieved flight for 1 second before falling back down face flat on the pavement

and then I got beheaded and lost

[faint crater]

yall out here playing like, more than half the game

i just play the "free mode" 💔

[shell bronze]

my honest reaction to commoner boss when i actually get to him

[shell bronze]

so do i

[faint crater]

i haven't even touched the gauntlet yet

[shell bronze]

gauntlet lowkey ass to fight through after the first few runs

i just spend my time as a commoner fighting everyone else in the game

[vapid hull]

bACK In my day we didn't even HAVE the gauntlet, it was a community challenge !

[faint crater]

living the life of a humble commoner

[faint crater]

girl i didnt even know this was a game till like a few weeks ago or smth

how long ago was that?

[vapid hull]

liiiike uhm

6

months ago?

I forgot

I still have the playtest

[faint crater]

interesting

[wary niche]

falcion and dagger good strat?

[vapid hull]

that's up to you sport

[shell bronze]

falchion in 2 hands better

[wary niche]

I mean I'm a longsword main and can do polearm

[vapid hull]

billhooks attatched to all limbs is better

[vapid hull]

I literally only ever touch polearms

[faint crater]

i feel like all the weapons are so good

[shell bronze]

i'm longsword primarily with a bit of polearm but i suck at it

[wary niche]

I cant seem to figure out how to maximize the force of the impact

[faint crater]

for what

falchion or longsword

or pole

[wary niche]

polearm

I'm thinking a falcion and shield run might be good on Commoner

[faint crater]

probably!

idk how to use both the shield and weapon at the same time yet

[wary niche]

the shield kinda self uses itself

[shell bronze]

but armored combat so difficult

[vapid hull]

iunno how I nabbed his hand

[shell bronze]

filthy grabber

[bleak trellis]

Is it a bug that whenever you use a stabbing weapon like a spear, your left arm randomly slides up on the weapon and it just falls behind you?

Its so annoying

[vapid hull]

fuck yo chainmail

[toxic rose]

i traded with booss 3

[bleak trellis]

How do you stab up at their head like that

Whenever I use a stabbing weapon my camera moves down to their legs/lower torso

[vapid hull]

the billhook is shrimply not a stabbing weapon

and I was not stabbing

[bleak trellis]

ahh I didnt see that

it was pretty fast

[bitter gate]

the Haunted Candlestick in a pool of blood

[thorny stream]

wh

y

are there SO MANY FUCKING FATAL ERRORS

IN THE BARON FIGHT

[austere salmon]

blood

turn your blood down, there's currently an issue with how it renders

[vapid hull]

Anyways, look higher whenever you stab

[wary niche]

alright fuck this bullshit I'm done with this FUCKING BULLSHIT ASS FIGHT for the night

[shell bronze]

to fill that little gap that militus leaves behind i have decided to use his loadout for a bit

[thorny stream]

calm flick up

[thorny stream]

the really big swords

are REALLY good at clubbing

and REALLY bad at stabbing

[sleek gull]

@shell bronze some nice parries here.

[thorny stream]

how do you dodge like this

[thorny stream]

swing into the parry to knock their sword off balance for a clean shot at their open arm

i like to swing as im parrying to knock thier sword to the side

swing it around, clip thei neck if possible

and then hit their side/arm

[sleek gull]

I try to extend the fights by not going straight for the kill lol

[thorny stream]

i like to win 🥀

[wary niche]

see if I can get any fucking further than half an inch off my fucking ass this time around...

[thorny stream]

i like to extend fights by intentionally clubbing at their armor

[sleek gull]

Most the time when I am parrying like that, I am just waiting for him to throw something at me, then i'll pull back after and let him do it over and over. I know I can kill him at any moment, but I like tha tsuspense lol

[shell bronze]

boy if you don't take that FUCKASS shield off

[near garnet]

You don’t have to slime willie…

[shell bronze]

how do you think i feel

[near garnet]

you don’t have to be the bad guy

[faint crater]

"shey me keiden" or however it is spelled has become a vocal stim for me 💔

[thorny stream]

"GIVE me that shit"

[wary niche]

how the fuck do I get past the bitchass longsword boss fucker

[shell bronze]

i play around with them until either i take damage or the opening is big enough

[shell bronze]

pitchfork

[wary niche]

this bastard can reach me across the ring, even when I use the pitchfork it dont do SHIT. I actually just had my best run with a sword, ALMOST had this bastard until he just reached out and went "dingle dingle" in my fuckin brain like a goddamn lobotomizer

[austere salmon]

the commoner boss?

gimme a second i'll go get to him

[shell bronze]

no need

i got clips in the folder just for occasions like these

[wary niche]

HOW DO YOU GUYS DO THIS SHIT LIKE IT'S AS SIMPLE AS BREATHING

[austere salmon]

130 hours of practice

[sleek gull]

726 hours

[sleek gull]

It becomes zen after a while lol

[wary niche]

y'know what, can y'all just send me all your clips of killing the bosses so I can see strats to finally finish this fucking gauntlet

[lone yarrow]

This does put a smile on my face.

[thorny stream]

which boss are you stuck on

[wary niche]

yes

[shell bronze]

commoner

[wary niche]

all of them

[thorny stream]

commoner?

[thorny stream]

literally tire him out

the first few bosses

bumrush, strafe to the sides

the first boss has an axe that has little to no agility

use that to your advantage

it is VERY clear when he swings

keep alert and just play distance with the commoner boss

[shell bronze]

sometimes he flails though so just be wary

[thorny stream]

yeah

he will flail

[austere salmon]

nah, use a clever parry and stab him in the nutsack

[thorny stream]

i like to get the knife and get upclose and personal

and slash him

[thorny stream]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/l3G6wici6WctrQErj?invite=cr-MSxqRWUsMzUzMTAxMzE1&v=7

[wary niche]

again we need a VC in here for this cause yeah I'm lucky enough to have dual screens but it's splitting my attention trying to keep up

[thorny stream]

im mute irl

so

[wary niche]

fair nuff

[thorny stream]

dude just

just ADAPT

the best tip i learned was just

watch and adapt

see what they do

[wary niche]

honestly I've only actually had one interaction with a mute and it was very entertaining, great person

[thorny stream]

then do the opposite

the ONE weakness of the bosses

they are TALL and they are BIG

[austere salmon]

how does that actually work, can you just not talk, or is it real quiet?

[thorny stream]

which means their weapons

are BIG

[sleek gull]

Just kick him in the face.

[thorny stream]

medical mutes dont talk

at all

becaues they cant

selective mutes are just like

"Nah im nonchalant"

then dont speak

at all

[lone yarrow]

Main trick for me with Commoner boss was to rush forward, snag that handy dandy knife that’s in the middle of the arena, and go for the gut or thigh with an Alt-Stab.

[thorny stream]

or just pick it up and launch it at him

[shell bronze]

cringe iaido larp

[wary niche]

one of my art teachers was almost medically mute, he had very little vocal chords from a surgery, he used a mic in class, was kinda cool for middle school

[lone yarrow]

Also true.

[thorny stream]

i once killed the baron by literally just parrying him so much to the point where

[austere salmon]

which are ye

[thorny stream]

he just

actually

stopped swinging

he got WINDED and just eventually stood and stared

i was using the big toothpick

[wary niche]

OK so commoner rank use pitchfork or what?

[shell bronze]

yeah

[wary niche]

what do I need to use to get past this eight mile reach mother fucker

k

[shell bronze]

pitchfork equalizes reach advantage

[austere salmon]

a good parry

[shell bronze]

do quick pokes and be prepared to retreat/run away a lot

[wary niche]

dosent equalize the swing advantage but I can fiddle around his sword

[shell bronze]

bro stop getting inexperienced players to do the bs you and me do

i'm trying to help out here

[thorny stream]

Pointy stick

who knows what thats called

[lone yarrow]

This.

[shell bronze]

[austere salmon]

[austere salmon]

john is plenty competent but he lacks imagination

[wary niche]

oh I exclusively run longswords on free mode

also THIS MOTHERFUCKER GOT STABBED IN THE GUT AND THEN PROCEEDED TO CUT MY LEG OFF LIKE I JUST TICKLED HIM WITH A FEATHER. WHAT ARE THESE NORMIES ON

[shell bronze]

[paper silo]

[shell bronze]

[paper silo]

lemme dm you the screen

[vapid hull]

Twue, but backward strikes are lovely tooo

[shell bronze]

@sleek gull you can tell i was getting progressively tired of this guy's bs by the end lmao

[thorny stream]

@shell bronze

thick or thin sword

[wary niche]

that was a clean ass parry

[thorny stream]

this dude genuinely just cut my face in half and im still kicking

[thorny stream]

willy LOCKED in

[austere salmon]

thick is heavier and better for slashing and dismemberment, while thin is more graceful and better for stabbing

[shell bronze]

what sleepy said

[austere salmon]

i generally use a thick straightsword

[shell bronze]

i use the smallest thinnest one against commoner to veteran

and veteran to man at arms i use that one big ass commoner sword i found from a duel a few months ago

[thorny stream]

i think thick is really good if you like to halfsowrd them

[shell bronze]

thick is also good for the occasional cheap bludgeon

[austere salmon]

i generally run a thicker straightsword for higher chopping power but still capable thrusts

[thorny stream]

oops

[faint crater]

i play like this a lot against armor but afterwards i feel like its a cheap tactic and i feel sad

[wary niche]

I deadass dropped my weapon in the void and just beat the scythe guys ass with my fists

[faint crater]

wth

[wary niche]

literally just concussed him until he dropped the scythe and then cut his ass in half

[faint crater]

bro teleported

[austere salmon]

honestly man idk that happens when i sprint

but im not reinstalling to get rid of it, it's convenient

[shell bronze]

i only do it when the fight goes on too long and it pisses me off

or if they initiate grappling

[faint crater]

real

sometimes I do that stance against axes though

[austere salmon]

once you get good you can start toying with your opponents

[faint crater]

if they overhead with an axe i'm either dodging or going to block with the alternate holding, because regular parry or block feels to weak against overhead axe

[austere salmon]

like this guy, he interrupted a rightful duel and was handily disarmed

[shell bronze]

if they overhead with an axe i step back and smack them in the head/throat

[faint crater]

yeah

but i'm trying to get away from dodging as often

[thorny stream]

@shell bronze ive been trying to use actual strategies instead of flailing, give me some ratings

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/l4wcSgNFWzhVjF6Fg?invite=cr-MSwySm4sMzUzMTAxMzE1&v=15

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/l4wavNMosO9ncr8_p?invite=cr-MSxHV2gsMzUzMTAxMzE1&v=11

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/l4we7tGMJmMqjnlbB?invite=cr-MSxvSWMsMzUzMTAxMzE1&v=15

[faint crater]

because i win every fight if i dodge now

getting boring

[thorny stream]

i still feel like i flail too much

[shell bronze]

it's getting pretty methodical

just need better distance control overall

[austere salmon]

then win by only parrying

[thorny stream]

i like to play dominant

knock them around then try and get into the grooves of their armor

the problem is

35% of the time the dude has a spear or an axe

and i get fucked

like this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043854764095582260/1415169405028929547/image.png?ex=68c23ab6&is=68c0e936&hm=386fbe000fa7fb1e586d245441e2ccaaca40f82bbda69aa080b9579706cbbfad&

[thorny stream]

the half sword stance saved me

[shell bronze]

me when i get sick of the skill issue

and just start flailing for a bit

[thorny stream]

one dude literally watched me whiff two swings on him

and just

shoived me away instaed of drilling me in the side of the head

[thorny stream]

offtopic:

what do we think is the best movie that portrays knight combat correctly

i personally think its The king

The King

[austere salmon]

The King

[thorny stream]

with chalamet

[austere salmon]

additionally off topic: whats your opinion on recoiless rifles

[thorny stream]

what

[wary niche]

The King the one with that really fuckin good longsword fight with the Rondels between the princes?

[thorny stream]

yes

[austere salmon]

see im making a recoiless rifle because i hate coyotes

[thorny stream]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IUFyz8AloE

[wary niche]

yeeeeeeaaaaaah

[thorny stream]

i like it because they portray the just

BRUTALITY of it

youre lugginga round 60 pounds of metal on your body

and youre gonna lose your sword eventually

and just beat the shit out of eachother

[wary niche]

well that and they didnt over cheorograph is

they actually made it believable

[austere salmon]

the most accurate description of armored combat is can opening

[wary niche]

like that's the same kind of shit my friends and I do when we're HEMA'ing eachother

[thorny stream]

most of the knight fights as written were iterally just

ground fights

and then the moment they got free it was daggers

[shell bronze]

i beat my untrained friends up for fun

[austere salmon]

i make absurd weapons for shits and giggles

the perks of learning smithy, you can have large weapons suited to you solely because you want them

[wary niche]

HOW is he still FIGHTING!?

[shell bronze]

my skills are automotive

and more arts and craft

(cosplaying fucking sucks)

[austere salmon]

i dont cosplay, the weapons and armor i make are functional

[wary niche]

like this mf cut my hand off at the same time I damn near beheaded him and I FUCKING LOST

[shell bronze]

weapons i dont make

[thorny stream]

yeah thats

he should NOT be alive

"I WILL SURVIVE!!" ass willy

[shell bronze]

but i do have 6 hi points and 3 remingtons ❤️

[austere salmon]

i cant fix a car or see colors, but i can make an axe that'll split wood, metal, and heads

[shell bronze]

i might get into fab soon for weapons

[austere salmon]

fabrication is no good for weapons, you'll make junk carved from sheet steel

you want to learn smithy

[shell bronze]

i just wanna machine receivers and stuff

[austere salmon]

oh you want to make guns

[austere salmon]

im working on a gun of my own

i know a guy that works in the phillipines designing new high caliber rifles and mortars, he's helping with the barrel and chamber thickness

it's called the Hellbore, i think i've told you about it

Phineas gage is proof that anyone who dies from getting shot in the head just has a skill issue

SPEAKING OF PHINEAS FUCKING GAGE

CUT THE BIG ASS SWORD GUYS FRONTAL LOBE AND HE STILL CUTS MAH ARM OFF

[austere salmon]

hey sko, do you want to know a fun longsword fact

[lapis marsh]

Might’ve still had enough momentum in the swing

[wary niche]

he swung after

[wary niche]

yo

[austere salmon]

if you get a head stab but arent certiain it killed them, hold alt and jerk violently to the side, you'll hear a crack

thats their neck snapping

[lapis marsh]

Yeah that lines up

[wary niche]

I was gonna say lobotomy but neck crack works

[lapis marsh]

You can do that in the main menu too

Grab Willie’s head and drag quickly and it fucking kills him lmao

[austere salmon]

tis a fun trick indeed, another good one is the Guillotine technique

[lapis marsh]

I call that the can opener
