[azure mirage]

it's sadly discord, and i doubt anyone would do anything about it

i wish they kicked em though

[shell bronze]

with a pair of gauntlets and a helmet your entire upper body is covered really well

[mental kelp]

got hit but sekiro posture break

[shell bronze]

even as he dies he still chooses to be disrespectful and kick

[shell bronze]

because of the gory nature of the game i think we need our own limit above the TOS

[languid nest]

oh no

is this thing on

oh fuck it is

[lapis marsh]

what the fuck

who the fuck turned on my text to speech

[past stream]

[shell bronze]

the targe is also actually really good for training wheels if you wanna do a lot of parrying

throw on gauntlets and targe if you want to play unarmored longsword with a bit of quality of life

[tender quest]

https://tenor.com/view/just-wake-up-gif-25010419

[shell bronze]

paired with a higher tier longsword and you have a build that absolutely fucks

[languid nest]

scary

[shell bronze]

i used this to train in commoner/militia before i got better

gauntlets prevent bullshit hand removals and the targe helps cover you from mistakes + funnel attacks away

[young ibex]

guys, how do I start the gauntlet from zero. I am on a king tier and I can't beat it and hate it, and I can't start the gauntlet from zero, with zero progress

[shell bronze]

and of course the high tier sword is extremely quick, sharp, and can bludgeon like crazy

[shell bronze]

pinned

[languid nest]

goofy asf until like the 23 second mark

[languid nest]

ive been putting them on every loadout for this reason 💔

[shell bronze]

for mace gameplay you just gotta learn the consecutive headshots and good overheads

[languid nest]

you gotta treat the mace like it's light

[lapis marsh]

@shell bronze i heard how much of a weeb you are so

[azure mirage]

really hot hit

[lapis marsh]

gave him a haircut

[shell bronze]

boy if you don't stop playing with the poor unarmored 1h fodder

[azure mirage]

like he had hair in the first place

[lapis marsh]

i clip farmed fam

[young ibex]

Thank you

[lapis marsh]

says the mf who plays with his mace and shield fodder

i aint wanna hear nothin bout playin with yo food

[languid nest]

im usually better. just tired. been up all day.

sometimes it feels like i am in complete control of my willie. other times i flail my willie around and get real close and just do crazy stuff.

talking about half sword

[shell bronze]

(he's not)

[shell bronze]

at least i don't wear no whole ass plate armor when i play with mines

[lapis marsh]

that was part of the loadout from the modpack so sue me

[languid nest]

my favorite tactic is to just grapple with a polearm

[shell bronze]

my fodder gotta have no or more armor than me or else it's just low tier bullying

[shell bronze]

shii i might

[languid nest]

tbf a mace guy with more armor than me is still rather scary and intimidating

so yeah

i think you right

[shell bronze]

if i have a polearm he put me to sleep figuratively while i put him to sleep literally

[naive holly]

Gang

[naive holly]

Ive got shenanigans to report

[shell bronze]

armored combat is difficult mfs when i pull out the lucerne hammer

[wise patio]

Please

[shell bronze]

[shell bronze]

friendly embrace

[lapis marsh]

ughhhh i need to learn how to control my poleaxe better

that seems to be the crux of my difficulties lately

[shell bronze]

i just go all offense with the polearms

because fucc polearm defense that's m00's job not mine

[lapis marsh]

i try but i cant get meaty shots consistently enough

i know turning down sensitivity should help but the second i do it just feels massively sluggish and less powerful

[shell bronze]

wear full armor and/or turn invuln on

then practice consistent headshotsw

@lapis marsh or just use our fodder best friends here for practice

much more satisfying and dynamic and applicable than the dummy

[lapis marsh]

Always true

[shell bronze]

also the kick tech is BRUTAL btw

got you jumping right at the mf like it's sony singleplayer melee combat

• if the kick lands it's a bonus free stun

[lapis marsh]

I’ve stunned willies by kicking them in the balls sometimes

[shell bronze]

@naive holly thought of you at the end and decided to throw you a bone

[shell bronze]

i've gotten stunned by being kicked in the balls sometimes

[lapis marsh]

Irl or in game

[shell bronze]

both

[lapis marsh]

Both do apply yeah

[shell bronze]

great distance judgement on ai's part

[lapis marsh]

AI’s almost as bad as I am lol

[shell bronze]

some gedan kamae tomfoolery

[shell bronze]

what happened to being top 2 polearm users

[lapis marsh]

I’m still top 2

Nobody else mains them :)

And also I’m the most active

[shell bronze]

shit i might be #2 instead from how you keep seeing yourself

@mental kelp any part of the textbook covers smacking your hands against the other guy to parry

[lapis marsh]

HOW DARE YOU

YOU CHALLENGE ME??

BLADES AT DAWN TO DEFEND MY HONOR

[shell bronze]

see that's the spirit

[lapis marsh]

Back to overglazing my skills again

[shell bronze]

take pride in your work if you know it exceeds the populace's average

i know against the current ai i hand out ass whoopings in the 99th percentile

[shell bronze]

jesus christ flamingo legs almost got me

[naive holly]

Yes zaddy you didnt need to but you still did

Slaay

[shell bronze]

ok now you just made it weird

[naive holly]

Ive been uh, experimenting with overkill lately

[shell bronze]

use chrome's decimator blade

[naive holly]

I literally haven't tried a single weapon pack yet. But they're literally just .savs so I just need to mass DL them

[naive holly]

Double literally

[north hollow]

rrragamuffin

[shell bronze]

this thing skins people to the flesh and disappears people's body parts

[naive holly]

This shi goated

[naive holly]

Ah thats what the skin peeler guy in the cord does

[near garnet]

bros a tuff blud?

[shell bronze]

yeah but that guy lowkey be doing stuff people do on the daily

but the art of overkill consists of stylish and brutal finishers

that often result in those things without needing to hack at some loser on the ground for 5 minutes

[naive holly]

T2 Woodsman my beloved casual gameplay

[faint imp]

how do I stop falling over all the time 😡

[naive holly]

I usually dont do overkill when im trying, the opposite tbh

But the gore is like 30% of the game

[shell bronze]

decimator blade will give you your desired effect

[shell bronze]

restart game

[near garnet]

i feel like a fortnite

dude i’m actually so fucking smart

it's a little floppy but it works

[lapis marsh]

bro shakin that thang

[shell bronze]

the shit i do to mace users for fun

[zinc spire]

I made it to the end of the gauntlent and now im stuck

[zinc spire]

does anyone have any tips

[shell bronze]

did you do ultimate challenge

or is it just difficult

[zinc spire]

im on it rn

[shell bronze]

if it's difficult go settings and increase npc damage and/or reduce player damage

[zinc spire]

isnt that cheating lowkey

[shell bronze]

imo it's simply difficulty settings

they put it there for a reason for playability

don't let pride get in the way you're simply still learning

[lapis marsh]

turn off blood

otherwise you'll crash

[zinc spire]

oh ok thanks

[shell bronze]

why he got so scared

[misty cargo]

Hello guys do you know why when i rank up in the lobby i got weapons but in match i dont have it? and in boss fights i dont got weapons neither

[shell bronze]

you have to select loadout

click the rank you unlocked

and randomize until you get what you want

[misty cargo]

I already did:/

[shell bronze]

then i don't know what's going on

[misty cargo]

Ok

[misty cargo]

Anybody know why i cant change for beggar to knight in freemode

[lapis marsh]

because you havent unlocked knight yet in gauntlet

[misty cargo]

oh

But then how to get weapons and armor in gauntlet? i dont get them and i have chagned the outfit in lobby

[lapis marsh]

might be bugged then, somehow?

you got a clip?

[misty cargo]

Yeah but i cant send it in here:/

[lapis marsh]

#game-footage-🎮🎥

[misty cargo]

Oh ok im sending it there:)

It should be in the channel now

[lapis marsh]

part of the problem might be you have the training dummy option enabled?

try turning that off in settings

[misty cargo]

I need to wait 2 min before i can send again but now i was just naked

[lapis marsh]

that is strange

[misty cargo]

Yeah

[vast token]

i finally beat thee damn game after 7 hours

[misty cargo]

Nice:)

[misty cargo]

Its in the game footage again

[lapis marsh]

oh yeah your game's definitely bugged

[misty cargo]

Yeah

[lapis marsh]

maybe try verifying file integrity

[misty cargo]

Im trying taht:9

[half gyro]

How are people so skilled at half sword I don't get it

[vital perch]

dedication

notice how many people are on the server yet how few of them actually engage

[lapis marsh]

Hundreds of hours of practice

[misty cargo]

Not working:(

[lapis marsh]

Maybe try dying in the gauntlet and see if that fixes things

[misty cargo]

Ok give me 5 min

[misty cargo]

Nop not working

[lapis marsh]

Huh

Maybe go #1047240101152960525 then

[misty cargo]

Just dont know what to search

[lapis marsh]

Make a post

[misty cargo]

I did

[errant flame]

why am i getting so many fatal errors

[lapis marsh]

Turn off blood

[shell bronze]

i play too much

[errant flame]

in the gauntlet mode whats the last boss

[shell bronze]

last boss before ultimate challenge you fight big guy in full armor with big axe and shield

[errant flame]

and i get nothing?

[shell bronze]

final boss of ultimate challenge is golden armor guy with big polearm and big sword as a backup

[errant flame]

damn

[shell bronze]

you beat challenge you get to play as him

in free mode

[errant flame]

alright

[errant flame]

i gotta beat the guy when i havbe nothing

great

[shell bronze]

if you mean ultimate challenge there is knife in the center always

[errant flame]

oh okay

[shell bronze]

you start with knife and work your way up

just get it and start fighting with it

if the game feels too hard adjust npc damage and player damage in settings

if it crashes turn blood off

good luck soldier

[errant flame]

gracias

wait if i lose will it reset me

[vital perch]

it saves

ultimate challenge is mostly as hard as the actual gauntlet

[errant flame]

alright thanks

attack on wilhelm

willie ackerman

[grizzled palm]

guys idk why, but this sword is like an excalibur

#photography📷 message

it cut through limb very easily

easier than a two handed axe

while other sword doesnt do the job quite as well

it is as if it was an easter egg or something

[restive barn]

prolly just a really well tuned longsword

[grizzled palm]

I mean it cut through limb way easier than other longsword

idk why

it felt really sharp

[grizzled palm]

I can dismembered people very easily

it is waay better than a great axe at this

almost effortless

[grizzled palm]

it can even cut through light armor

I will post the pic, but it is still in cool down

I can even cut off willies' arms in only 3 swing of my sword

[jolly gorge]

You seem very excited about this sword. I wish I could be as excited about anything as you are about this sword

[restive barn]

every sword can do that

[haughty lily]

Any tips on how to be more accurate with swords?

[restive barn]

knight wrestling

[jolly gorge]

Figure out a few neutral stances you like to hold and then just practice how the sword comes out from those, its mostly just a slow learning of the physics. I like to always move my mouse in a very small rotation in neutral, things feel more consistent that way

@opal scarab

[young saffron]

He's still not dead😭

[pearl ferry]

it's because he is a test tube willie

[young saffron]

do spawned willies have more health?

because this ones still not dead

[pearl ferry]

no they are just unnatural homunculi

[manic urchin]

WTF naked willie

[pearl ferry]

unlike the fertile, fully grown spore willie that occurs naturally

[young saffron]

I finally killed him

i had to chop him in half

[austere salmon]

not yet

lantern staff

[young saffron]

I know naked willie will solo that veteran behind him

[dark folio]

Do you have infinite counsciesness and no pain for enemies turned on?

[young saffron]

no he was just built that way

idk how

[dark folio]

Cool

[young saffron]

I had to chop him in half

[manic urchin]

rarest hottest willie unlocked

[young saffron]

he's finally dead...

[rare sleet]

i wish there was a replay feature, like i would love to rewatch fights from the perspective of someone in the crowd or with a floating camera like photo mode

[young saffron]

Yeah, I’d also love to see all angles of willies fighting

[pearl ferry]

https://tenor.com/ekH0W5Com2A.gif

[austere salmon]

thats at max brightness, even at minimum brightness it lights 40 feet around me

[pearl ferry]

40 feet is the range of a torch in dnd

[austere salmon]

yes

[young saffron]

are you gonna be able to beat willie to death with it?

[austere salmon]

probably, the bottom of it is sharp and it weighs as much as a halberd

it's basically a candlestick

[pearl ferry]

damnit

[manic urchin]

Rest in unrest

[austere salmon]

yeah it's basicallt a heavier, sharper candlestick

Can somebody tell me

if its confirmed

that Half Sword will have a story

and perhaps like bigger maps

set in the 1600's and there's like 10 or more willies doing a swordfight or war etc

that would be EPIC asf.

the arming sword on it's own is really fun in non-armored fights, you should definitely try it

[misty basin]

hoe>

[misty basin]

halfsword parry and kill

simple

[sharp sky]

idk i cant hit a single shot with the hoe

you should still try sickle its fun

[spring matrix]

one shot is so annoying

[misty basin]

yeah i just practice a lot

[misty basin]

i mean it makes the game harder to learn sure but you can turn down damage if ya want

[vivid shadow]

hey, totally not related, but i see in your profile that you're turkish, but your name is hungarian? 😄

[spring matrix]

even if u turn down they can one shot

[sharp sky]

just the letters lol

i like the hungarian language

[vivid shadow]

first sight i thought you were hungarian lol

[sharp sky]

hungary is a cool country

[vivid shadow]

as long as you ain't living there

[tidal abyss]

what trainer i need in order to do high jump slams? Because enhancer cant hold a grip on willy for some reason

[tidal abyss]

bro got PTSD from all that shit

[spring matrix]

bruh

[misty basin]

bet him like that

just parry from the top and walk into him

[misty basin]

to be fair i beat the entire game from this position

[spring matrix]

damn

i cant beat man for man boss

[misty basin]

man at arms?

[spring matrix]

HOW DO I FUCKING BEAT THIS ULTIMATE CHALLENGE, I CAN JUST BE SUPER OP, I HAVE THE SPIKY STICK WITH SO MUCH ARMOUR, THEN I GET FUCKED WITH AN AXE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD OR A SPEAR...

[austere salmon]

https://tenor.com/view/cranky-kong-cranky's-advice-git-gud-gif-16480965987528745011

that's the advice, just git gud

[sick mountain]

Yep and ofc, 99% of the replies are not helpful and just say get good, cant really use that info

[austere salmon]

practice, learn to parry better

also it aint 90%, its one

im the only one that responded

[sick mountain]

not for long i betcha

[devout fulcrum]

Can you still Play? Found this on YouTube and it looks fire 🔥

[shell bronze]

the only advice i can give you if you manage to lose with a plancon is either adjust your damage settings or something along the lines of get good

[tough yew]

dunno how safe your taking it but you gotta be extra cautious as any permanent injury is unrecoverable

[shell bronze]

because get good just means every generic thing of being more careful, dodging better, etc

[stark moss]

yes download the demo as its the current version of the game

[tough yew]

I don't care about the swords and shit, the spears are the real issue I am dealing with, even when I hit it out the way, it insurmountably comes back immediately to the same position, oh you think I could just go around them? nope, gets stopped by a fucking servo motor for joints.

[shell bronze]

gotta hit it out of the way harder bro that's all i can tell you

[sick mountain]

Im just gonna beat it by cheating.

[shell bronze]

sure

get it over with until you can beat it on even terms

[austere salmon]

this is the advice we give because this is the advice, practice, learn mechanics and techniques, and

git gud

[shell bronze]

game's hard and some things just can't be taught easily

[topaz glade]

bro why did i get demoted to peaseant

😢

i lost everything

[tame patrol]

Anyone know where I can look at armor for reference for IRL for the deferent types of weapons

[shell bronze]

part of the game

[topaz glade]

hope it gets improved when it fully releases then cuz wtf

spent 45 minutes grinding for what

[languid nest]

you gotta be on your A game at all times

[shell bronze]

part of the game.

[languid nest]

if you dont like it go into settings and adjust the damage

[shell bronze]

just adjust damage settings to favor yourself

or as sleepy likes to preach
get good ❤️

if you want advice for weapon choices use the polearms and smack people with them

[tame patrol]

I might have to do that so I can at least see all the other levels and until I am good enough

[shell bronze]

and there's nothing wrong with that the devs put it there for a reason

[tame patrol]

Thanks

[tame patrol]

^

[dark folio]

Yup

Mooo im a cow

No

[sick mountain]

Welp, I beat the game cheated...

I feel so bad

WAIT I GO BACK DOWN TO THE BOTTOM

WAIT NOO I CANT BE ASSED TO BEAT THE GAME REGULARL

[languid nest]

just play free mode

[sick mountain]

But my entire idea was to beat the game cheated, and then beat it non cheated

[languid nest]

then do that

[sick mountain]

I deleted half sword in a fit of rage

[rigid stirrup]

15th century is the 1400s

[lapis marsh]

hi chat

[rigid stirrup]

game is specifically set 1450-1470 in terms of what arms and armour are used

[lapis marsh]

skill issue

[rigid stirrup]

bro got ragebaited by an .exe

No because I cheated the final level, thought I could easily replay it, but nope

Ngl i like doing Abyss more then Ultimate challenge

cause atleast i heal wounds

that aren't dismemberment

[sharp sky]

can you survive dismemberment in abyss

[knotty crystal]

yes

but you go into that annoying pain state

so basically no

[lapis marsh]

bro acting like thats unfair

[sharp sky]

that phase where willie holds his arms??

[knotty crystal]

yeah

[sharp sky]

what would YOU do if you lost a leg and a arm

[knotty crystal]

I didn't need that arm anyways

[lapis marsh]

thats my point

[remote kindle]

I mean you live, but you can't do anything

[knotty crystal]

it's just extra weight

[sharp sky]

he thinks its a scratch

[knotty crystal]

this is probably due to a lack of skill but I feel like 1 hand swords are too floppy

especially the long falchions

[remote kindle]

I once killed the greatsword boss while not having 1 hand and just swinging around my weapon with my camera

[knotty crystal]

ig just cut into longpoint

instead cutting all the way thru

[languid nest]

you have to wind them up; make sure the edge is aligned

[sharp sky]

hs enhancer ❤️

[knotty crystal]

it's mostly when doing a follow up cut

[remote kindle]

Me when i'm enjoying the Abyss

[knotty crystal]

which ig is pretty floppy no matter what

[remote kindle]

and i get stabbed from behind and instantly die

[languid nest]

@shell bronze

[pearl ferry]

willie slowly realizing it is about to die

[languid nest]

have you seen this custom weapon

[knotty crystal]

abyss is cool but the urge to grab the candlestick every time

[remote kindle]

i mean unless i've been dying 20 times in a row

i usually don't use it

unless i don't find a fucking axe

[knotty crystal]

sword and buckla

then you take a spear to the face

[remote kindle]

i don't get shit done with a sword

Outrange or DEATH

[knotty crystal]

oops

[remote kindle]

i once got oneshotted by aguy with a Hoe

i think that's what it is

[knotty crystal]

dirty hoe

the hoe uses the 2 hand weapon moves and not the polearm moves

[remote kindle]

Is the Candle stick even good against armored enemies

[knotty crystal]

not really

[pearl ferry]

more spear grappling :3

[knotty crystal]

better take a halberd

[remote kindle]

yeah

[knotty crystal]

spear grappling?????

[remote kindle]

that's good

[knotty crystal]

the long halberd and billhook are so busted

[remote kindle]

I like the greatsword rom the one boss

[knotty crystal]

the knight chopper

[remote kindle]

sadly i'm too shit to make it good once enemies get armor

i gotta go long stick bonk

[languid nest]

i expected avengers endgame and instead got morbius dubbed in afrikaans at 12 fps

has anybody else used the rapier in game

it's like a meyer rapier

and it sucks BAD

[languid nest]

i like it

idk you just gotta feel the weapon and it makes sense. obviously you dont have phantom sense

https://tenor.com/view/because-i-have-phantom-pain-phantom-pain-gif-3171925089382955136

punished "willie" snake

[lapis marsh]

Why did that post twice wtf

[sharp sky]

poor willie got perfectly cut in half 💔

[knotty crystal]

if half sword don't drop this year

then I guess I'll just keep playing the demo

[bleak helm]

I am encountering a very perplexing bug. When I open the game, it behaves as if it was minimalized, but if I do Alt-Tab and go into other apps, it acts as if it wasn't minimalized???

[languid nest]

honestly once you play half sword enough it starts to make sense but idk everyone's experience is unique

[knotty crystal]

I think the only weapons that rly make sense are the longsword and longer polearms

sword and buckler is fun but only because the ai can't fight it properly

just get in range and press the buckler on their hands

cut around the buckler

[bleak helm]

Idk about you, but basically all weapons are pretty natural to use, you just have to get the hang of them

[knotty crystal]

I don't like the knightly polearms much

[shell bronze]

weapons all work fine for me

even the fuckass maces

[knotty crystal]

I usually get kills by holding alt and throwing the thing at the head lol

[bleak helm]

If possible, I would like help with this confusing thing that is happening to my game

[knotty crystal]

or grappling and hitting with the buttspike

[shell bronze]

practice headshots

[knotty crystal]

the hand swapping is fun

with the Lucerne and halberd

[sharp sky]

anyone else's willie just start to vibrate after losing a leg

[knotty crystal]

I mean I only get kills with headshots against the armored tiers

mace to the face

[shell bronze]

yeah that's how it goes

[knotty crystal]

which I suppose is how ya ought to do it

[shell bronze]

hence why i fight man at arms for the weak spots

[knotty crystal]

man at arms is fun

[knotty crystal]

enough plate gaps to not be tin can opener sim

[sharp sky]

dude just looks at me as he melts

[knotty crystal]

I have a crazy idea and that is

[knotty crystal]

some weapons should have yet another grip option

longswords should get false edge hits

[pearl ferry]

knight polearm my beloved

[bleak helm]

Managed to fix it by forcing game to launch in windowed mode through steam

[shell bronze]

i'm waiting to see if they give me zwerch in early access

[knotty crystal]

hitting with the backspike on polearms

[sharp sky]

thank you john halfsword

[knotty crystal]

false edge hand hits work so well on the ai

[sharp sky]

for creating halfsword

[shell bronze]

try using gedan kamae/fool's

false edge cuts are no joke

[knotty crystal]

fools guard to hand hit works well

unless they do an oberhau

and u eat a sword to the head

[knotty crystal]

rapidly jiggling between left and right ochs is like 50/50

[knotty crystal]

accidental willie zwerch

[sharp sky]

dude was lobotomized 😭

[shell bronze]

just gotta be faster and read the ai

[knotty crystal]

yeah I usually just step back then

I've noticed the longsword will copy your guard if you sit in one for a long time

[granite hinge]

yo is there any way to play against friends?

[knotty crystal]

makes parrying hella annoying

I just do off line steps and hit at the hands or head

[knotty crystal]

I had a laptop set up in an airbnb and everyone had a go at gauntlet

lmao

[sharp sky]

yeowchers

head shortening service

[shell bronze]

parrying is a sport for me

[granite hinge]

couldve just said no btw lol

[knotty crystal]

lmao

no*

[knotty crystal]

I like doing it for fun

but there's no need to

[woeful grotto]

Good evening, how can I download the demo? When I click on download, it doesn't do anything.

[knotty crystal]

stepping off line or doing time hits works gooder

[shell bronze]

dgaf if it offers me any advantage i'm one of the big 3 sword users in this server for a reason lmao

[shell bronze]

it's too imprecise to reliably do real life type of parries

but that plays into my hands because i can do more video game/movie type parries

[knotty crystal]

dude the bind is so weird in this game

makes me not want to parry

[woeful grotto]

Pls help me

[knotty crystal]

I mean most of the time u end up binding with the flat

[shell bronze]

i throw hands with the armored guys because they actually make the game hard again

[woeful grotto]

.

[knotty crystal]

wait until the willies read some liechtenauer

[shell bronze]

i do kenjutsu irl so then it will be a fair fight

[knotty crystal]

I'd like to try kenjutsu

no sparring though

sad

and kendo doesn't really interest me

[shell bronze]

yeah it's looked down upon

[knotty crystal]

I do sabre

[shell bronze]

kendo is too focused on the scoring

[knotty crystal]

getting into longsword

[shell bronze]

it's fast and you only have 2 accepted/viable guards

[knotty crystal]

yeah doubles don't matter in kendo right

and there's like 3 hit zones

too sporty

[sharp sky]

wtf is this willie doin

[shell bronze]

way too sporty

[knotty crystal]

how does kenjutsu compare to german longsword

I always see hema guys fighting with katanas but it just looks like german longsword minus the false edge

aka completely shit

I saw someone with a miaodao who was completely cracked

[shell bronze]

it's the hill i choose to die on but longsword clears low/mid diff

katana a mid ass weapon

[knotty crystal]

I mean I think all things being equal longsword takes it

not at all made for the same purpose

[shell bronze]

samurai used bows and polearms anyways

it just happened that the katana was glorified

for whatever reason

[knotty crystal]

actually I read an article from a prof at Princeton about how the katana was actually used quite often in the 1400s

before mass infantry

[shell bronze]

pos, if i had to fight for my life i'm taking the longsword

[sharp sky]

when willies fly

[knotty crystal]

though most of the data was from western Japan which skewed heavily to sieges

still I'd take a yari every time

[pearl ferry]

cus the katana looks badass I think that's why people like it

[knotty crystal]

it is an incredible weapon

1 less edge and no crossguard or pommel must suck though

[upper orbit]

I feel like I'm going insane. Camera mode has been turning on by itself when I wasn't even touching my C key

I have no idea why that's happening

[knotty crystal]

📸

I think that happened to me a bunch

[upper orbit]

Should I just like

Reinstall the game or

Cause it's been happening for days and it's so incredibly annoying

And I can't find anybody else who has the same problem but my C key doesn't have a problem or anything

[lapis marsh]

Me with a poleaxe

[knotty crystal]

the urge to buy a rattan haft and billhook head is insane

[shell bronze]

on god i do not trust the tsuba with my hands

[knotty crystal]

I hear in kenjutsu you try to stay out of the bind as much as possible anyways

I have a wakizashi and the tsuba will for sure get my hands exploded

[shell bronze]

hence why i'm glad GoY is representing the yari

[knotty crystal]

winged yari is epic

[shell bronze]

first time i see a good one in media

[knotty crystal]

teppō wins

[shell bronze]

more or less

[lethal oxide]

Can someone explain how can i reset my progress after finishing gauntlet mode?

Cause last chapter just hits fatal error everytime

[shell bronze]

also the fact that if you swing it wrong shit gets cooked

[knotty crystal]

why is that longpoint looking stance so common in kenjutsu

[lethal oxide]

thx

[knotty crystal]

is it just to provoke ur opponent

[lethal oxide]

And second one, how can i avoid fatal errors for the last one chapter (r what it is)

[knotty crystal]

try dx12 if you aren't already

[lethal oxide]

Will try, thanks again!

[odd kiln]

turn off gore

[lethal oxide]

okay

[bleak helm]

What do you mean that it doesn't do nothing? Perhaps it already downloaded and is in your Steam Library

[hollow yarrow]

So I started playing this friday
Kept getting stuck on first boss, then I learned you just ||shank him||, kept getting stuck on the third boss, then I learned you just ||keep a pitchfork||, but the average run still ended around the third one
I think 5th area was my record
Just got to the end (baron arena thing) for the first time

[azure mirage]

why are you ||spoilering keep a pitchfork and shank him||

[hollow yarrow]

iunno

you find that out it instantly goes from impossible to 5050 worst case

[azure mirage]

what

[hollow yarrow]

the bosses

for a new player theyre insane

with the respective tricks theyre borderline easy

[azure mirage]

oh

yeah

[hollow yarrow]

holy hell the last tier before arena is pain and suffering

[azure mirage]

it is

[hollow yarrow]

I beat it the first time I got to it but it took me literally 60 minutes

from "first time facing" to "finally down"

[azure mirage]

LOL

[hollow yarrow]

im pretty sure the last individual fight was like 20 uninterrupted minutes

😭

heavy armor leads and low precision leads to basically a pool noodle fight

[shell bronze]

it just works

i prefer hasso/jodan though

[knotty crystal]

I always see people withdraw from it after receiving a cut

which makes sense

cant counter cut from there

but then why not just keep your hilt farther back

[shell bronze]

sometimes waki/kasumi when i beat up my untrained roommates for fun

[shell bronze]

idk that's how they be doing it

same reason why kiai exists

[knotty crystal]

fair enough

jodan looks meta

[bleak helm]

Nah, the Baron (Golden boy) is just tanky as shit. On one run I hit him so much in the head / neck that his golden helped turned grey

[shell bronze]

it's pretty much vom tag

[bleak helm]

#game-footage-🎮🎥 message

[knotty crystal]

yerp

[shell bronze]

the more goated/advanced people in kendo use it

insane men strike potential

[knotty crystal]

from my pov it's just that high cuts will parry everything

and u get access the the epic zwerch and schielhauw from vom tag

tbh most people just rest in shoulder vom tag/in no kamae for longsword

[dark folio]

He's overreacting

[dapper lagoon]

yo why does breaking the shoulder instakill on here

[smoky abyss]

oh

thanks

so im good to look at a walkthrough for modding

yes

also make sure you download from nexus mods

except if you want half sword enhancer, that comes from github

[smoky abyss]
