[gilded veldt]

i SWEAR the greatsword was easier to use before

[dark folio]

Woah

Sliming ketchup man

[upper urchin]

the most annoying thing is that if they even cut your thumb lets say

ur done

thats it

willy wont stop screaming

like a bitch

[dark folio]

Fr

[shell bronze]

tale as old as time

[gilded veldt]

its realistic tho

[shell bronze]

give up and move on tbh

[gilded veldt]

you lose a thumb youre not gonna tank that shit

[upper urchin]

u got two hands

u swing with the other one

[shell bronze]

ok adrenaline is one hell of a thing

[upper urchin]

instead of screaming non stop

[shell bronze]

a thumb is nothing when lives are at stake

the whole arm though that's a different story

[upper urchin]

even a palm

whole arm is diff

[shell bronze]

your body going into straight shock

[gilded veldt]

adrenaline is why you dont instantly go unconsious when you lose a thumb in halfsword

[shell bronze]

you'd be surprised what people say about losing small bits like fingers

[gilded veldt]

thats fair tbh ive never lost a limb irl

[shell bronze]

shit can happen so quickly and cleanly that you're not even gonna realize until you look down or a good few seconds later

and most of the time you can pick the shit up to take to the hospital for them to re-attach

[jolly gorge]

you can reattach limbs?

i thought once its off its gg

[gilded veldt]

yeah

[shell bronze]

irl yes

[gilded veldt]

lengthy process but yeah

i believe they take some bone from your face or skin or smth and sew it together

[upper urchin]

see fucks sake

willy doing too much

[upper urchin]

lowk js reattach that

[jolly gorge]

how tf i beat final challenge

by the time im halfway through im too beat up to fight more

[gilded veldt]

wow i just tabbed back into halfsword and theres a weird ass noise playing

[shell bronze]

the hard part is not getting damaged early game until you get armor

[gilded veldt]

it sounds like a really low quality audio of scraping mixed with a train in the background

[jolly gorge]

it would help if when i kill the armoured guys the armour doesnt drop through the floor

[gilded veldt]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/l6uGoEDg2jcy3EIw7?invite=cr-MSxhWlksMjU5Mjc4OTUw&v=18

[gilded veldt]

i took the sword and found out it was looping the sword swing sound for some reason

[dark folio]

Skill

If you get a long weapon early youve already won

[jolly gorge]

also whats a good way to kill haevily armoured guys other than smacking them until they go down

[gilded veldt]

how it feels to play ranked online games

[gilded veldt]

smacking them until they go down

[lapis marsh]

aim for their weakspots or wrestling them to the ground

[bleak sundial]

is there a way I can disable stamina because I hate accidentally throwing one too many punches and then I literally can't regain stamina and slowly keel over for the next minute and lose

[ruby glade]

Suboptimal

[gilded veldt]

HS Enhancer

[dusty tiger]

i kicked someone and they spontanously combusted, does this happen usually?

[jolly gorge]

sounds fun

[dusty tiger]

if only i could send clips

sad

yall level 3

i think it gives perms

to show

[gilded veldt]

yeah

[dusty tiger]

my favorite weapon is the axe

two handed

axe

[dusty tiger]

and i hate these pitchforks

[last ginkgo]

bro i cant even get past lvl 5 what is the secret

[last ginkgo]

how yall get so precise

[jolly gorge]

thats wut im sayin

[dusty tiger]

i sent image of axe in photography

[woeful arch]

@keen haven #game-footage-🎮🎥 message bro busted one at the end 💀

[keen haven]

someone just pinged me over me beating a long sword with a sickle

[shell bronze]

plancon

[last ginkgo]

what dat is

[keen haven]

how about the fact that worst peasant weapon beats best commoner weapon?

[dusty tiger]

how does one throw with good accuracy

[shell bronze]

spiked spear

[shell bronze]

against the ai you can use virtually whatever

[jolly gorge]

i did it

i killed that gold guy

[shell bronze]

i have like 3 clips of me killing commoner boss with the kitchen knife

game's easy

[gilded veldt]

ikr i can NOT throw for shit

[dusty tiger]

real

whenever i throw it goes out of bounds or to the side

or too up

[keen haven]

with that sickle

still not powerful?

[shell bronze]

yeah i can kill a longsword guy with that sickle

if the weapon has any kind of reasonable bludgeon/stabbing power you can kill unarmored people with it

[last ginkgo]

dsay less

[dusty tiger]

heres prob one of my best clips

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/l0DzJyllq29Ms7ehO?invite=cr-MSx0NlYsMjA2NDk2NTA0&v=9

[shell bronze]

that shit one shots knight class btw

[keen haven]

how about longed hook?

[last ginkgo]

made me realise theres levels to ts

[keen haven]

one of the longest if not the longest weapon with the hook on it?

[shell bronze]

the billhook relies sometimes on physics jank

[dusty tiger]

?

[last ginkgo]

hb hitting jump kicks

[shell bronze]

and it's not heavy/quick enough for the average player to hit accurate headshots

[dusty tiger]

i love kicks

[harsh dagger]

i love halfsword

modded halfsword that it

[dusty tiger]

wrong sickle

[harsh dagger]

yeah wrong one

[shell bronze]

oh you mean the stubby

sure

[keen haven]

yes, the one that can barely cut

[shell bronze]

damn where the longsword boys at

[shell bronze]

TOO MUCH FODDER

[keen haven]

this sickle

[shell bronze]

the amount of mace users is concerning

[jolly gorge]

i like the mace

it hits hard

[heavy pecan]

every time i play this game my character gets weaker

[shell bronze]

finally longsword guy

[heavy pecan]

anything but using both hands 💔

[plucky obsidian]

How do I become a play tester?

[upper urchin]

didnt it close

[harsh dagger]

idk

[plucky obsidian]

Is it only the demo now?

[lapis marsh]

playtest and demo got merged

[dark folio]

Who doesnt

[dark folio]

Sing

[jolly gorge]

it probably says somewhere but whats coming in future

content wise

[upper urchin]

man js drop half sword multiplayer already

[lapis marsh]

not completely sure but we do know that early access (releasing q4 this year) has weapon customisation

[upper urchin]

lowkey

[lapis marsh]

multiplayer is very difficult to make for a game like this

[jolly gorge]

ill bet

[dark folio]

Servers cost money

[lapis marsh]

and also desync is a mf

[upper urchin]

aternos is free smart ass

ok im joking

[jolly gorge]

you can use steam for mp no?

[upper urchin]

it will bring in more revenue so

its hard but may b worth it in the future\

[dark folio]

Wdym

[shell bronze]

my honest reaction when yet another pink role individual suggests online multiplayer in an intensive ue5 physics based game that can barely run singleplayer

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1002450851962556489/1409770340736958495/ezgif-3057470420d62d.gif

[upper urchin]

dude feels real thug as a red role

[jolly gorge]

ive seen some games that just use steams to connect for multiplayer

[lapis marsh]

sort of. it's not 'proper' online multiplayer. when ea drops with splitscreen you can use remote play, but it's more like 'your both playing on the same pc one person is just having everything streamed to and from them'

[upper urchin]

holy shit mane

Jump to original message

i do actually

[upper urchin]

community been nice so far

[upper urchin]

ye fuck ya lad

honestly

[shell bronze]

😂

[harsh dagger]

how do i get red role?....

[lapis marsh]

talk more

[harsh dagger]

oh level 3

[shell bronze]

just be active for a bit you'll get it

[gilded veldt]

the rubber banding would be crazy

[keen haven]

ayo, where the finish of life?

[jolly gorge]

just yap

ez

[shell bronze]

i'm a reasonable warrior not a brute

fight ends when enemy yields whether through forfeit of duel or his life

[lapis marsh]

parsec and remote play will work as multiplayer but theyre not perfect since the one hosting will always have the advantage

[keen haven]

not as a execution

yields is skip for sure

[shell bronze]

what you want me to kill the other guy

[keen haven]

when he was fighting

deal deadly blow

[dark folio]

I wonder if willie likes chess

[upper urchin]

probably

[dark folio]

He seems like a chess guy

[dark folio]

Did medieval europeans even have chess

[dark folio]

@grok

[shell bronze]

ok

[keen haven]

https://tenor.com/view/palpatine-yeah-happy-starwars-revengeofthesith-gif-392613425458741705

[shell bronze]

yeah the weapon sucks but so does the ai

[keen haven]

also, could you try this method that works best for me?
Disable camera lock, use center crosshair (it somehow makes swings more close to the center), use weapon only as an attack or defence, not to use it as a stance.

It somehow adds for me more strength and precision

[shell bronze]

not doing allat

i have never once turned locked on off outside of accidents

[keen haven]

you using center crosshair?

[shell bronze]

no crosshair

[lapis marsh]

i have no idea what center crosshair is

[keen haven]

apparently, not working thing

but it somehow, for me, makes swings more closer to the center

[dark folio]

Its a crosshair on the center

Or something

[shell bronze]

they say a cornered beast is the most dangerous one

[lapis marsh]

imagine getting cornered

[shell bronze]

ikr

couldn't be me

[lapis marsh]

cant verify whether im more dangerous when im cornered because i simply never get cornered

[shell bronze]

i used cornered figuratively

wounded probably would've been a better term

[dark folio]

Why is ts video so glitchy ice tried like 7 times to watch it without it skipping to the end

[shell bronze]

it's a lot harder not to get hit when the other guy is hurt

[languid nest]

poor internet sadly

[dark folio]

Or the video just goes black

[languid nest]

only happens to me when im out and about

[shell bronze]

someone doesn't have h265 💔

the duel was very polite until he decided to kick me

[velvet sandal]

How does Epic/Cinematic Quality look like?

[shell bronze]

honestly not that big a difference from high for me

[harsh dagger]

any body have the key bind list for halfsword trainer?

[velvet sandal]

Use Half Sword Enhancer

Way better

[shell bronze]

you literally just told me you got the controls

[soft kelp]

epic has better reflections

[velvet sandal]

And no shadow flicker

[lapis marsh]

epic has better reflections and better shadows and thats it

[velvet sandal]

like uh

[soft kelp]

but cinematic is straight up nothing different from epic

[velvet sandal]

thag one thingy

[velvet sandal]

Bruh 😭

USELESS

[harsh dagger]

uh i did.... forgot to take screen shot...

[soft kelp]

yet it lags ur game like hell

[lapis marsh]

turns on the 'fucks up your fps' setting

[shell bronze]

https://github.com/massclown/HalfSwordTrainerMod-playtest

gonna post a cinematic clip then a high clip

[velvet sandal]

Probably 32x MSAA

[shell bronze]

difference isn't much besides my fps

[velvet sandal]

-# jk

[velvet sandal]

Bet

[soft kelp]

and it just makes the game look blurry

[velvet sandal]

FXAA it is then

Probably atleast

Or too many post processing effects

[ruby glade]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GBT1LBabYAAYesK.jpg

[uneven galleon]

Oh my gosh bro

[shell bronze]

feels like i'm playing on ps4

shit so ass

[lapis marsh]

ultimate challenge?

[velvet sandal]

Cinematic quality?

[shell bronze]

yes

and this is high

[velvet sandal]

Wow

I like High

[runic karma]

IM LEARNING HOW TO LEAP

NEXT TIME I WILL PEFORM NINTH FORM RENGOKU

[velvet sandal]

Cinematic feels more like a slightly overcast day

I swear

Looks so

DULL

In the environment...

[runic karma]

This isn't the full leap but it looked cool

I've already learnt how to dash

im gonna combine these skills to make ninth form rengoku

[velvet sandal]

But hey, now I can count each individual grain of sand! Hooray!!!

[supple ember]

[runic karma]

[supple ember]

He is the master leaper

[runic karma]

Alright, but leaping is not my goal

[supple ember]

Yea

October-December

[lyric mason]

Ok thanks

[shell bronze]

blade is indeed red

it's my default commoner build but i handed it off to chrome to make the blade shiny and red

[supple ember]

Nice love it

[shell bronze]

got a brand image to keep + i wanna separate myself some more from these azzclowns 😂

of the big 3 sword users i was the only one without custom weaponry until now

militus has his own tuned greatsword

john has his balanced mod pack's worth of swords

[supple ember]

This is my sword

[shell bronze]

i have a skin lmao

that pommel fat damn

[supple ember]

Yeah it’s pretty huge

It’s pretty much default but Bitter changed some values to help it have less drag and faster recover time

As well as re color

/texture

[harsh dagger]

cool

[sleek gull]

She's a beaut

[shell bronze]

honestly we need more people with colored blades

[supple ember]

Yes very similar to yours lol

[runic karma]

HOLY

[supple ember]

That’s a mean left hook you got there

[shell bronze]

it's just my normal sword

but shiny and red

[runic karma]

Mf got cooked

[shell bronze]

can't wait for some newgen/contrarian to try explaining to me that my clips are not valid because the sword is red

😂

[mental kelp]

Its me

[supple ember]

Love it

[sleek gull]

Its not valid because it should be green

[dark folio]

Holy shit

[supple ember]

Red is right

[shell bronze]

my outfit red my name red my car red my enemies' blood red my sword gotta be red too

[supple ember]

Red is superior

[sleek gull]

Green is clean!

[shell bronze]

i killed 1000 willies and i unlocked the prestige skin

[supple ember]

Red is better buddy

[runic karma]

Discovering how to leap in unarmed combat is like discovering black flash

[dark folio]

He got a stomach ache

[upper urchin]

BRO

[supple ember]

Yeah just some nausea

[upper urchin]

WHY CANT WILLY HOLD HIS WEIGHT

hes literally collapsing

[sleek gull]

Nuh Uh! Green is better!

[upper urchin]

upon spawning

[dark folio]

He's a weakling

[shell bronze]

the kick dash is diabolical

[shell bronze]

restart game

[supple ember]

We can agree to disagree

[sleek gull]

No

[supple ember]

We can disagree to agree

[shell bronze]

the red blade demands red

[sleek gull]

Yes!

[shell bronze]

it's 2 against 1

red better

[supple ember]

Yep

[sleek gull]

Two vs one is unfair, Bring more dudes

[shell bronze]

Consequences of not being a grabber are much higher

[runic karma]

(if you make war i will use the leg kick into slam on you)

[cerulean spire]

guys, there is any mod that makes you giant?, i mean, a willie but taller

[runic karma]

Just practice jiu jutsu irl

Sweep their feet and slam um

[shell bronze]

I believe hs enhancer lets you scale your Willie

I wish there was an irl version of this

[cerulean spire]

i know abt enhancer

[supple ember]

I need a Willie scaler so bad

[cerulean spire]

imagine if there was an enhancer irl

[upper urchin]

man js make a starwars mod already

i thought blood cleared on weapons after each match iirc

[cerulean spire]

wait until some mf does an analog horror of this image

[supple ember]

It’s just red. Not blue

[stark moss]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-star-the-mitten-ride-kiddie-ride-gif-27659789

[supple ember]

Blood*

[stark moss]

is it done with mods

[supple ember]

You can recolor blades in the files it’s not a mod

[cerulean spire]

fr?

what about recoloring willie

[supple ember]

You cannot recolor Willie

[cerulean spire]

dang

personal opinion, devs should make willie more intelligent and more brave, what do i mean with this?

if you have a chair

willie will fist you up

instead of giving up

[supple ember]

I’m sorry, WHAT?!

[cerulean spire]

reasonable

if you have a chair

what you can do??

against a willie

[supple ember]

Wdym, like a stool?

[cerulean spire]

maybe knocking him out

no no

i mean

[supple ember]

There is no chair

[cerulean spire]

ugh

i dont know how is it named

[shell bronze]

it's my new trademark specialty

[supple ember]

Instead of wiping the blood off each fight you let it crust

[shell bronze]

i let it absorb*

[supple ember]

No no no, crust

[shell bronze]

the blade has absorbed the blood of 1000 willies

[cerulean spire]

devs should also add blade breaking

when your balde ahs much pressure, it breaks

like a big ahh hit againt other blade

[shell bronze]

good luck breaking a sword lmao

[cerulean spire]

yeah yeah i know

[supple ember]

That doesn’t really happen that much in fights though. Maybe in like t3 since the swords are worse quality they could make it like a 1 in a 1000 chance but the better swords don’t break like that

[shell bronze]

unless it's a katana

let those bitches BREAK

[cerulean spire]

FACTS

[supple ember]

Yea

[shell bronze]

i do kenjutsu and i fuckin hate people who think the katana is anything but a ceremonial/backup weapon

[cerulean spire]

true

katana its NOT a primary weapon

[deep shale]

its a back scratcher

[cerulean spire]

its backup

[runic karma]

For some reason my charecter cant grab someone for more than 1.5 secs

[supple ember]

Yeah katanas were rarely used as a main weapon, MAYBE as a secondary

[runic karma]

So i have to use slow mo for grappling

[cerulean spire]

if you dont have time to use your primary weapon, try using a katana

but if you can use anything but it, dont use katana

katana isnt bad at all, but other weapons are simply better

like a longsword

[supple ember]

Yes

[shell bronze]

samurai prided themselves on archery and polearm

[cerulean spire]

and flintlocks

[shell bronze]

the katana was literally just aura and "FUCK I'M GONNA DIE I HAVE NOTHING ELSE"

[runic karma]

i haven't used this technique since the heian era

[wise patio]

Sword

[runic karma]

the murder grapple

[signal wedge]

Its wild that's its become the poster boy lol

[shell bronze]

i blame samurai movies lmaop

[runic karma]

hit this man with most devious attack ever

[shell bronze]

i love them as much as hate them for ruining the portrayal of japanese melee weaponry

kurosawa my goat

[signal wedge]

Especially the old ones, guaranteed there's a reason tho

Its cool that ghost of yotei is getting more weapons tho

[shell bronze]

the glorification of the katana (and by extension iaido) has permanently destroyed its portrayal in fictional media

dude

[signal wedge]

I'm gonna use the spear a lot

[shell bronze]

ghost of yotei the first game with a yari and proper odachi representation

[cerulean spire]

guys who would win, european knight (im doing a general view) or samurai

[shell bronze]

knight sweeps

[shell bronze]

instantly sweeps

[signal wedge]

Depends on the era imo

[lapis marsh]

nah knight sweeps

[shell bronze]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vVT05LcHt8k

knight sweeps

[lapis marsh]

knight has better armor

[signal wedge]

That's a knight in full plate tho

[deep shale]

[lapis marsh]

did most knights not have full plate

[supple ember]

Love dequitem

[shell bronze]

man at arms/knight sweeps any samurai

[signal wedge]

That's why I said era is important.

If its a knight clad in plate yeah knight wins

[lapis marsh]

true actually

[signal wedge]

But if the knight is in chainmail

[cerulean spire]

coughing baby vs atomic bomb

[signal wedge]

That's a different story

[shell bronze]

mail still sweeps i can't even lie to you

[signal wedge]

Depends on the samurai weapon

[lapis marsh]

lowkey mail does still kinda sweep

[shell bronze]

katana is a shitass one sided slashing weapon with a shitass thrusting surface

unless you give the samurai a yari and something to get past the mail

[signal wedge]

Any spear

[restive barn]

biosday

anyway

uh

why are one sided swords one sided

whats stopping u from making it 2 sided

[signal wedge]

Weight

[shell bronze]

or just have him shoot the guy in mail down

[signal wedge]

I would assume it's a ground fight

[lapis marsh]

most one sided swords usually have a curve of some kind

[runic karma]

Who has the better horse

[shell bronze]

yeah for a ground fight the samurai would have a good chance with the polearm into wrestling/stabbing on the ground shenanigans

[runic karma]

thats all that matters

[lapis marsh]

having a sharp on the outside of the curve is more effective than having one on the inside of the curve

[runic karma]

Actually wait

samurai just shoots the knights horse

[deep shale]

if a sword had only one side, you can use the blunt side to train with

[cerulean spire]

yo guys i need ram memory

[runic karma]

and wins automaticly

[lapis marsh]

samurais didnt have guns im fairly certain

[signal wedge]

I think at that point it's whoever gets a stab first. The knight has the armor advantage but chain isn't as all encompassing as plate

[runic karma]

bow

[lapis marsh]

it would still hurt a lot

[lapis marsh]

im stupid

[runic karma]

horse archer vs melee cav

[shell bronze]

for sure

[signal wedge]

Plus the samurai wouldn't know the tactics to get past chain

[runic karma]

horse archer shoots the cav and beats his ass

[cerulean spire]

fellas, did yall know that in half swording you can literally use your sword as a mace?

[lapis marsh]

yes

[cerulean spire]

lel

[signal wedge]

That's surface level knowledge tbh

[shell bronze]

imo knight sweeps 9/10

[mental kelp]

4220 visitors, ZERO people who have learned it 😭

[cerulean spire]

:/

im trying to make a conversation

[signal wedge]

I think it would be closer to 6/10 imo. I think if the knight had any sort of plate or anything other than chain he sweeps

[runic karma]

did you know that if you put your sword to someones neck they surrender?

[shell bronze]

given a polearm i think the samurai stands a fair chance

[cerulean spire]

i do

[lapis marsh]

also most samurai weapons are designed to fight samurai armor. i doubt they'd fully just snap against plate and chain but they'd be a lot less effective

[runic karma]

proof

[lapis marsh]

yes

[runic karma]

just gotta put the sword to the neck

[shell bronze]

in the vid i sent you can see how the samurai struck where it would have worked well against other samurai

[livid sluice]

I shit myself today

[upper urchin]

congrats man

[shell bronze]

but against that kind of knight he was just #cooked

[signal wedge]

Plus don't the samurai practice a martial art? Surely that would be more effective than what the knight might know, not to say they're bad at hand to hand combat but wrestling and knife skills vs a martial art i mean...

[signal wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/hey-champ-thats-really-interesting-next-time-keep-it-to-yourself-gif-25930013

[lapis marsh]

hema is also a martial art

[shell bronze]

samurai basically practiced the prehistoric version of judo iirc

[signal wedge]

Nope

[runic karma]

jiu jutsu

[runic karma]

it really depends on the skill of the average samurai

we dk rn but they might have been able to do something like this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043854764095582260/1416936757798113422/HalfSwordUE5_2025-09-14_16-59-42_-_Trim.mp4?ex=68c8a8b0&is=68c75730&hm=b0f5e1ae3242992bf073faa9e527d41ea1ccf2cf51bed4a38510c6ae2181dc35&

[lapis marsh]

also depends whether the knight wants to fight honorably or not

[cerulean spire]

why did i got my message deletd

deleted*

[signal wedge]

It is but hema is swordplay and wrestling

[signal wedge]

Take a guess

Do you think I'm dumb

[shell bronze]

honestly yeah

but imo at their peak the samurai gets murked more than the knight

especially if all bets are off

just a matter of equipment

[runic karma]

The samurai can just shoot the knights horse tho

They are both mounted units

The samurai has a bow

[lapis marsh]

we're talking about a grounded fight

[near garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/ilkka-alanwake-alan-wake-ilkkavilli-ilkka-villi-gif-2630542062964929161

[shell bronze]

if we're accounting for ranged combat and horseback combat

then it's out of my hands

god knows

[runic karma]

Knight wins

Better armor

Till its end of samurai

(Samurai near their end had guns)

[lapis marsh]

yeah horseback is anyone's game

[lapis marsh]

knights near their end also had guns

[runic karma]

i need some tips for my jiu jitsu ingame

[signal wedge]

Well i think the samurai martial art might help in a ground fight but the equipment is really the final decider

[runic karma]

i know ive posted this clip alot

but how can i improve this move https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043854764095582260/1416936757798113422/HalfSwordUE5_2025-09-14_16-59-42_-_Trim.mp4?ex=68c8a8b0&is=68c75730&hm=b0f5e1ae3242992bf073faa9e527d41ea1ccf2cf51bed4a38510c6ae2181dc35&

[gilded veldt]

go "hiyah!" after every hit trust me itll improve your skill

[cerulean spire]

oh mb i forgot its half sword

[shell bronze]

more or less

the drippy samurai armor + full gear vs basic older/mail-heavy knight with only a sword the samurai would just as easily sweep

[signal wedge]

A knight vs the continent of antartica

[lapis marsh]

fully armored samurai vs plate armor knight with no weapons. who wins

[signal wedge]

True

[lapis marsh]

1 knight vs 100 samurai

[cerulean spire]

samurais win sadly

[shell bronze]

4 samurai bumrush the knight and sit on each of his limbs while the other 96 watch

[signal wedge]

Although less than a knight in full plate vs samurai

[shell bronze]

full plate vs any samurai the full plate cleans them out

[lapis marsh]

true

[shell bronze]

that shit is not a joke

[lapis marsh]

we gotta bring plate armor back honestly

[shell bronze]

and especially because japanese weapons can't do shit against mail

[runic karma]

If one man can hold you down two can.....

[cerulean spire]

if they all attack at once knight will die of cringeness

[signal wedge]

Give the samurai one of those large clubs tho, and things get interesting

[shell bronze]

so basically it just becomes half sword gameplay

[lapis marsh]

real

[signal wedge]

No matter how much plate you have getting bonked in the head will not feel good

[shell bronze]

DO NOT TRY THAT FEINT SHIT WITH ME. I AM TIRED OF IT

[lapis marsh]

feinting simply does not work against german hema

[signal wedge]

Honestly thinking about it a knight in full plate vs a samurai in full plate the samurai has one of those large clubs that evens things out a bit i think. The knight is still at an advantage but the samurai will have way more opportunities at victory

[shell bronze]

give knight lucerne hammer/flail of some sorts and it equalizes pretty well

[lapis marsh]

me when i grab the club

[lapis marsh]

no it does not

[austere salmon]

found a new way to land thrusts

[lapis marsh]

lucerne hammer/flail gives the knight a stupid advantage again

[signal wedge]

Yeah the knight would win for sure

[austere salmon]

just grab them and guide the blade from both ends

[shell bronze]

which was my definition of equalizing

restores the fact that the knight just sweeps

[lapis marsh]

ah ok

[upper urchin]

do you just pray when the 3rd npc in uc is the spiked spear

or

[signal wedge]

If the knight had a longsword it would be balanced i think between the samurai

If the knight had a shield with a sword the knight would win

[lapis marsh]

longsword sucks ass wdym

[signal wedge]

Bad bait

[shell bronze]

beats katana lmao

[lapis marsh]

you right

[stiff belfry]

Seems you have it at its peak

Just practice it in fullspeed now

[signal wedge]

What about a knight vs one of those heavily armored Chinese suits of armor

[lapis marsh]

got a pic?

[austere salmon]

this is a great way to land a thrust

[lapis marsh]

1 drippy as hell holy fuck

[signal wedge]

Polearm vs polearm full plated knight vs that

[lapis marsh]

2 that might be equivalent to maile

[signal wedge]

I think it would be better against thrusts

Than mail

[lapis marsh]

yeah cuz no holes to poke

[shell bronze]

the motherfucker got the bomb suit on

[austere salmon]

honestly? i love this

[dusty tiger]

best fist fight move ive ever seen

[signal wedge]

Less armored but still cool

[humble bloom]

It looks like scale and chainmail at the same time

[stiff belfry]

Scalemail

[lapis marsh]

drippy as hell tho. looks similar to russian mail

[runic karma]

Combine a twist with a reverse lunge

[dusty tiger]

how does one preform it bro

[harsh dagger]

@ivory hamlet kill a man at arms with a small axe

why is it kinda easy

[runic karma]

Its simple

@lapis marsh bro look at this its basically brigandine

[lapis marsh]

aura

[harsh dagger]

oh dang.....

how about a knight with the peasant small axe

[shell bronze]

ok

[runic karma]

Pretty good

Need a more powerfull lunge tho

And pinning them against the wall better

Is important

[dusty tiger]

how make it more powerful?

[runic karma]

Are you using a kick for more power?

[dusty tiger]

yes

[runic karma]

At the same time as a crouch?

[shell bronze]

which one @harsh dagger

[dusty tiger]

like instantly ctrl kick?

[harsh dagger]

middle

[dusty tiger]

should i hold shift too to get the extra turn?

[shell bronze]

@harsh dagger

[deep shale]

is it considered dishonorable to go for the legs?

[harsh dagger]

uhh..... how do i make this harde.....

[lapis marsh]

no

[deep shale]

every time i swing this volgue of mine, the enemy's leg falls off.

[lapis marsh]

if you win you win

honor is for cowards

[runic karma]

Thats what i do

[runic karma]

Yea, the ctrl can be held for a second for more power

You can also hold your hand up to go higher up if your tryna lunge

[dusty tiger]

i forced him onto the ground by lunge kick

[deep shale]

honor isnt for the peasant levy

[shell bronze]

this

honor means nothing to the dead

ghost of tsushima taught us a good lesson in that department already

[deep shale]

especially when your home gets invaded by like 9000 monguls and there is only one jin (you)

[harsh dagger]

uh this is fair right?

[deep shale]

heavy is the shrimp that fries the rice

[dusty tiger]

ima send a peak clip

how i somehow knocked him out

[runic karma]

Damn

Good job

[harsh dagger]

oops

[dusty tiger]

someone needs to teach me more fist techs

fr

[deep shale]

ok

here's a simple way to reliably punch people
you grab with one hand, and punch with the other.

it keeps your enemy in range, and it looks kinda cool.

[harsh dagger]

uh

i just aim for head

and swim wildly

[deep shale]

that's gonna work every single time

[harsh dagger]

Real

[deep shale]

a real acheivement is defeating an armed enemy barehanded

its possible but defo not easy. you gotta think about how to grab

and what weapons/armor they possess

[harsh dagger]

i do that al the time

[shell bronze]

ghost of tsushima water stance

[harsh dagger]

kill a beggar using baron. But its max MNPC damage and MIMINUM player damage.

just use the bug

[shell bronze]

that's like bitchass easy

not doing that

[deep shale]

you wanna challenge? I gotchu.

use one knife.

[harsh dagger]

AW

[jolly crater]

do the gauntlents do more punch damage or is it placebo

[deep shale]

supreme grand mastery is making do with lesser weapons and implements

gauntlets turn your hands into warhammers

[jolly crater]

ok cool

[deep shale]

could easily shatter bone through gambeson

[shell bronze]

against what

[deep shale]

man at arms

[shell bronze]

it gets to a point

[lapis marsh]

me when someone asks me about the shape of a swords blade

[harsh dagger]

im starting wonder if he deserved it

[shell bronze]

pain in the ass

[deep shale]

Odd looking knife

[shell bronze]

ikr

just a very thique dagger

not doing ts with a kitchen knife

[deep shale]

a stilleto

[shell bronze]

got chopped in half or put on the ground a few times already

[deep shale]

I hope the economy is hard when the game comes out

That sounds bad out of context

[shell bronze]

no i hope the economy is hard

[deep shale]

I mean I want to see proper weapons be expensive

[shell bronze]

all contexts

i hate poor people 🔥

[deep shale]

I want to grind out of 1400s poverty

It's way too easy in the other games

[shell bronze]

imagine you go actually farming n shit with the hoes

and sickles

with the scythe being the meta for farming

[humble bloom]

you can use your farming tools to kill the local farmers, thereby securing yourself a monopoly on crops and jacking up the prices to enrich yourself enough to fight with real weapons sooner.

Bro is more leaky than a broken bidet

He IS the spoiler

I haven't seen this much leaking since the Titanic gahd dayum

Axel Gembe would be proud of this man

[jolly gorge]

i just thought of a half sword challenge

max damage towards player, minimal damage against npc and only can use peasent tier

[livid sluice]

Too easy. I've already tried the No hands + no legs + max Player damage + min npc damage + no armour + no moving + no keyboard + no mouse + no monitor challenge. Think of something more original lil bro

[shell bronze]

SO TRUE

it gets to a point

there's an actual challenge and then there's just suggesting i torture myself and rip my hair out

[brazen ice]

Excuse-me

[livid sluice]

Yeah dude. Like make it harder. Make it so that I have to physically tear my eyes out every time I want to swing the weapon.

[brazen ice]

Did the devs break the game movimentation?

[shell bronze]

literally

[brazen ice]

It look so different

Like iwalk

It helps that if anyone asks me to prove any claim I've made, I can say I signed an NDA.

[gilded veldt]

ill let you in on a little secret.

you can come out of any fight unscathed, even if you're up against the most skilled swordsman, if you surrender right before the fight begins.

low graphics

[cerulean spire]

i even got the unreal engine command panel to optimize half sword

[cerulean spire]

bruh

what im supposed to do

i lowered everything

i used enhancer to lower graphics too

i still crashing

[lapis marsh]

half sword is not well optimised

[livid sluice]

I'll give you a guide to optimize Half Sword. Go to the task manager. Go to Half Sword. Right click on the .exe and hit end. Then restart Half Sword. If that doesn't help I don't know what will.

[cerulean spire]

i know

[cerulean spire]

thank you i guess

[livid sluice]

Happy to help!

[cerulean spire]

take care

[livid sluice]

if you don't want it crashing then just turn the gore off completely
