i play at soldier freemode usually
two handed has a LAAARGEEE problem
i dont like being unarmored
range
or full armoured
me when i need a perfect headshot to end a guy or 5+ body shots
ts bait tuff
and it needs to have more momentum than my sword
wdym?
and it's more unwieldy than my sword
thats why ITS TUFF
U GOTTA BE better than sword
axes are even more peak than maces
yeah
baxe is too easy
axe is goated
yeah half-sword is the practice of holding a sword with both hand, one on the blade
hey just because i can walk barefoot through broken glass doesn't mean i want to
sword
it's in the name
this man can be trusted with a longsword
what happened to willie
true...
this man can be trusted with a goudendag
W
Bro chopped his own nose off
i will not be paying to see hevc videos
top 10 reasons why two handed sucks, reason 1:
How it feels to like stabs more than cuts in this game
Why da fish gotta hole in it
i mean you kinda just won
so it looks pretty good to me
dual wield
do you hit harder in 1st person pov or am I just imagining things
Dual Waldo
dual wield yeha
crazy autocorrect moment
How i can praticte Parry with Sword?
its just easier
you get good distance gauging
which makes it easier to pop peoples arms open
oh my god how sleep deprived am i
i said yeah instead of you
how
the issue is that you have to give them a fair fight https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1043854764095582260/1428602272828362802/7DFC811.MP4?ex=68f3c1cb&is=68f2704b&hm=51a4d18e465b91ceba18f8e6e037f73ea949cdf8aabc28ff45dd87d678a514e1&
that is true though it is easier to gauge distance
i can't play hevc videos
I found Watching HEMA sparring and try to replicate the counters helps, and try and start fights by blocking before attacking rather than dodging or attacking first
because it makes me pay for some ungodly reason
its mp.4 dawg
so you cant watch videos
all needy n shyt
ohhhhhhb
ok
or codec
Polish saber sparring can typically have a lot of long interactions/many parries n counters so that’s worth checking too
They do a lot of the twirly flourishy parries
oh so i accidently said two handed here i meant dual wield
Poland mentioned 🇵🇱🇵🇱
I want sabers and rapiers in this game so bad
how did i press b
real
theyre not doing shit to plate tho
maybe for like
soldier tier
Dog did 1h swords ever work on plate
Wild disarm
That’s abt your best bet, sabers almost only meant for light/unarmored combat from what I see
i mean the moment sabers came into play heavy armor was long gone
Johnhalfsword strikes again
long is a bit of a stretch
(well yk)
spears are so easy to counter
you just halfsword
Can you view this clip?
n to use aswell
then you slide the sword up
Iirc that’s kinda due to guns n other weapons that destroy armor coming into play around the same time
yus
Hello I’m new to half sword
Sweet. Turned off the codec setting
a
hi new to half sword
armour and guns did overlap at some point
welcome to halfcord
i hate spears from the moment i started playing on lowest damage to npc and highest to player
Stop it you, you’re too good
you do no damage, and if the enemy stabs you, you instantly die
Being that halfsword is vaguely 15th century Germany it makes sense rapiers and sabers aren’t a thing yet, they only became popular around the 16-18th timeframe
Hi bud :)
spears feels good to use
but it's so easy to just counter it
when you fight against it
teach the opponent willies how to counter
Spear Willie’s are my bane I stg
just slide your sword beneath the spear with halfsword
lift it up
It’s easier in 1st person but 3rd person the spear point is typically hidden behind my body by the time I get into engagement distance, makes it hard to parry
how to get the early access version
See that’s the easy route
in 2 months
I’m tryna fight not just win
the game will release the full ver?
anytime between now and dec 31st
for EA
early access version
oh
hopefully
in the meantime enjoy daily announcements
where they leak too much
and how to delete the video
well i think that's what happened yesterday
i am clueless
if you will
yeah a lot of info wasn't reviewed before being sent out
no you're not
yes i am
Ayo why the teaser call gottfried a shrew 😭
what
Check the channel cuh
flourihssh
o
Gottfried is a crazy name too I love it
@shell bronze why has he stolen my name previously.
Well. Here we are
But I’m the super duper cool and chill version
i love identity theft
we need draw cuts
what was draw cuts
what happend to your pfp
oops i accidently hit my self with a pencil while drawing
call that
a draw cut
i am clueless 2
i am not clueless
why are you lying bro
bro failed
wdym it says clueless right there
Change it back :(
identity theft
bro is going through a identity crisis
there is a difference between @dark hazel and @shell bronze
so uh
why did you ping yourself twice
have you guys ever watched parents destroy their kids stuff
does he kno
no more half swording for month or two
my bad im clueless
whar
jeez
My plane has arrived, back in 30odd, peace bitches
wth is that
wtf even happened
if i could find that one video where that dad breaks a glass table
and they reveresed the video so it looks like engineer tf2 fixing it
in short , my mom got angry and took my monitor cable , so when i connected my TV she cut the keyboards wire and slammed it into the floor
oops
i was late to my first class 4 days in a row
okay solid reason
at least it was just a membrane keyboard you can replace that cheaply
it costed me like 25 bucks
scammed
and i dont even get pocket money
scammed
anyways ima go sleep and stop identity stealing
ok goodnight clueless
uh
uh
this is what happens strangely everytime i play against any kind of spear ai ever
https://tenor.com/view/jarvis-iron-man-goon-gif-5902471035652079804 looking at all this wip like
Lil bro doesnt want to drop the knife
no embed perms
identity fraud protection kicked in
always the blunt tap on the head smh
Willie needs to man up and fight back
oops ❤️
How do people get those fights between a peasant and the baron
or fights between two different level enemies
he thought that feint would work on me
slaughter all feinters
eradicate all feinters
you can choose to play as lower class
you don't need to play on the class you are on
that's how you use pitchfork against commoner boss
How?
uh ❤️
I haven't been keeping up with the game news
kinda red
check annoucement
Did we have a month release date
no
early 2026 max
Nice nice
morning star
id love a weapon that was just a large wooden stick
you probably can mod that in!
what month will the game come out
unkown
from now until dec 31st
just wait faster 😈
alr
🥀
it probablly is soon tho
fall in a coma or smth
yea
and wake up once EA HS drops
i don't like people with armor
just give me the remote from click
i loved the audio
i play the game muted to listen to music
i play with sound on half and no in game music
my loser autism music playlist sounds good when paired with the noises of butchering
try making a clip in halfsword
?
have i gone too far
half swor half sword
?
the half sword stance
Man when will the new half sword update come, bees, forest, town, another map, crossbow
ok
ive been thinking abt this for months, do the iron gloves increase ur fists damage?
you blocked normally doesnt count
cause it feels like it does
yes
thanks
Do we know what new weapons (besides crossbow) to expect in EA?
i play only in the half sword stance
Nah, I've done worse on Willies, this is merciful
flails
btw clueless i can't even see the clip
its because of light mode
wrong vid
I've just discovered that if you half-staff with the polearm but release mid swing you get a mega hit and I'm loving it
I'm sleepy
I was about to send a funny capture of a bug that happen to me in the abyss
Then I remembered that newies have butchered the images uploads because of raid protection : (
this is what happens when you use a falchion
offhand loser...
should I keep my lock on strengh to standard
that your personal preference
I crank it all the way up to compensate for my mouse movements
help
Ok and I dont know how to use lock on exactly
Z
nice dodge
Bro learned to fly
Ok I just figured it out, I was confused at first cause in many games what ever function is signed to "Z" is "Y"on my keyboard so I thought this was the same but no "Z" was "Z"
I know dumb question but how do I doge
Do you like press shift once and then one of the buttons or for example: Shift and W at the same time
no
if you hold shift and just move in any direction
thats technically a dodge
the start of holding shift and moving propels you forward, back, left, or right (depending on what direction you are dodging toward) a little, thats the dodge
guys im struggleing at the gauntlet mode what can i do to win
let me finish my opener damn
that took a while to find 😭
Depends on where you're struggling
sword boss
the black on
I'm in the same, but I will say you that test multiple weapons and see which suits best for you
I fight all of commoner with the peasant pitchfork, easier to outrange anything
ok
the sowrd is longer still
Plus slashes
ok thanks for the help
no problem
tbh stabbing can finish battles faster tho, because of the pain (and mortality in some cases)
Also if you're really struggling with one section of the gauntlet, it's probably best to play that level in free mode until you feel confident
i'm at work still
And after commoner it gets significantly easier... IMO the lethality of the earlier levels is kind of unfun if you're not really good
stuff happens that grabs my attention
drive that big telecom van
Yeah, when you start to get armor you and your enemies are more difficult to kill
So you are safe of the oneshots of the first levels
Well there's definitely still one shots, just not everything is a one shot
Yeah
But not insane level things like being slashed in two pieces by a knife 😭
I really like this community, I havent called dumb for not knowing how to dodge
dumb
dont worry, i have like 350 hours total and i still suck at dodging and parrying often
Well, even if you know some mechanics, it's hard to dominate them
Ok
if you want to practice tho, i recommend tier 3
I still struggle with making parries, dodgin and not be killed trying to get in reach
can youguess how much hours i have
also i botched tf out my flourish wtf 😭
No polearms though, unless i'm remembering right
if youre consistent with parrying then def more than me, or less, because i spent 90% on knight tier
so i cant say much
thats a close enough guess
i have 183 only
Skill issue
I think I have never parried
I started to play on august I think, and have 16 hours
daily postage of this clip
best thing i can share from recently is this
Greatsword the goat
Poleaxe all day for me
You sure
thats gotta hurt
Tbh I never fought in 1st person, so this is cool
thank you
and yes the parry inthe clip was an accident
whenever i fight in first person the camera shakes like crazy
idk if theres a way to stabilize it or what
it does that
just hurts to look at
whats your peoples opinion about The crossbow they showed us
Personally Im excited for it
im hypedd af
It seems cool, but honestly I doubt I will use it xd (or at least use it right)
Holy thats really cool
thankyuo
Does anyone actually use slomo
occassionally by accident when i miss a button
It's useful to give up tho when you got really hurted
Fought*
Thank you
You sure
grammer gestapo over here
sometimes but it never helped me in anyway and whats the use of giving up
I'm not a fan of it
saving your run
it uses too much stamina
Ehhh, don't be killed in gauntlet
Ok thank you
It feels like i die faster with it
you mean like i dont end up in the abyss?
yeah you just lose level progress
Ok
It's normal that the clip doesn't play or it's just me?
not playing for me
Skill issue ngl
the throw was very necessary
I think thats a bug with discord I had the problem with other clips on discord but I dont know how to fix it
Whats with the comically large estoc
pretty fire clip
its normal sized
its a normal preset of a halfsword longsword
GREEN!!!!
its green
It's kiwami
I couldn't find out that said green
I LOVE PARRYING YEAH!!!!!!
Kaboom
are there any youtubers how play this game, I saw one video by a youtuber called Egg gun
ok I check them out
Watch the record speedrun on the speedrun channel
god i love this game!!!
willies are getting slaughtered
Good
do u play keyboard or controller green
gilber
I find it really funny how the Inventory Picture for the lantern is just a stick. I dont find it annoying just wanted to have a reason to aks: Does any one use Inventory
very little people use sheathes for some reason
Fucking zombie 💔 took me FOREVER to kill the motherfucker
I took this immediately after his death
probably because everything is too big for their hands
Hi hi
hello guy
hey their guy
@shell bronze what have you done.
anyways check this out
The coldest roundhouse kick
That’s kinda hot
The sword flails at the beginning 👏🏻
thank u
my flourish is my tech
it helps me win
totally
what
a little off the top
Wound that shit up like a softball pitch
Bro saw an ancient horror
what happened to my arm 😭
to be good at swords you must be good at baseball
fight club
whats the best call to practice parrying
what
He saw unspeakable things
the tight uniform with the little red and blue helmets
class
why
because you dont have armor and there are swords involved so you gotta actually dodge or parry
or youll die immediately
^
adds risk while honing your skills
teaches you to not bum rush into everything and be patient
I can smell a buzzsaw
He speaks facts
you can turn damage against yourself down if you still want to learn without it getting annoying
no im a man
Highkey trying the no pain no gain challenge rn, don't know if it has on official name or not
That's just what I gave it
so you made up a name for a thing and then told a bunch of strangers that youre doing that thing, but didnt say what the thing is
surprised that didnt cut his head in half
Essentially I used the half sword enhancer to make both me and wille have infinite consciousness as well as no pain
So fights even at begger take FOREVER
um no ones gonna win
To clear thing up
bor
infinte fighting
I might skip knight tier idk
skip begger to
Because that would be literally impossible
half sword enhancer can make it more difficult to kill, then?
I just don't do fist fights
Ja
But first I'm going to watch Conan the barbarian
THEN I'll see if it's actually possible
oh sick lemme get it rq. can you turn off people not being able to fight without an arm and giving up?
Pretty much what no pain does in a sense
crouch parrying is actually so good
ah sick
oh man am i glad its friday
ill check
Real
ninja gaiden 4 drops on the 20th..
im locking in my educated guess
Anyhow movie time I'll be back
i got smited for a second
EA will come out nov 26th or nov 18th
thanks
helmet pop
as my educated GUESS
Also I'm pretty sure it's infinite consciousness since that makes it so you can't knock them out
thanks
yoo I keep getting fatal error is it something i’m doing
on ultimate challenge?
ah gotcha
randomly mid fight
okok let me try appreciate you
no problem
but i like blood
Wait scratch that it IS no pain sorry for the confusion
LOL dw
Just turn it down a bit
Imagine youre willy, you just got your troat sliced open and are slowly choking on your own blood. Meanwhile the player is looking down at you with a camera saying "Beautiifuuuull"
wait where can I even turn it down, is it the mode I pick in the beginning like gruesome nd stuff
chopped off someoens arm and im just standing over them like "that would make a good clip"
hol up
ill show u
one sec
Settings -> gore and then the sliders
🐐
oh yeah ok so they still take damage on no pain they just dont give up, slit a guys throat and he was still tryna throw hands lol
if you want the ai to be invincible
turn on invulnerability and then possess nearest willie
nah i prefer them to not give up
alrightie
missed the first, got the second
hit so hard the hat teleported
thats the power of green
do you know any good custom loadouts to pratice parrying
ones with swords
i mean names
That will make them not be able to be knocked out
yes
jong longeswarde's knightly art of fencing
nah this works like a charm
cause they dont give up until quite a few strikes are done
which one
Nvm then
makes fights longer which is fun
and why does it make you naked
Continue on
NOW movie time
how do i snap necks ive done it on accident before
but like without a mace
is that even possible
disarmed
evil..
That aventaile saved him from a slit throat. Really happy how I opened up his shield though.
that straight up looks like a kcd combo
full body chainmail will go TUFF!!
actually, looking at it now he doesnt have any maille there
huh.
forgot to sharpen me axe
they wear it under their collar
sometimes
i think its possible, its like breaking limbs, you just gotta get enough blunt force in there to break it
sometimes the axe is just
blunt for some reason
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA RANGED WEAPONS
thats mail
i main the warhammer
under the gambeson!!!
Yeah, probably something there,
lads
Either way. he ded
the crossbow announcement is back
almost cut right through em
my evil is unmatched.
evil...
hows this for an armor takedown?
I think my favorite weapon in this game might be the candelabra
hey that thing is OP
that spike on the end of it?
i got my longest abyss run with the single handed one because of that spike, lol
discord refuses to show the rest of the clip but that first hit looked absolutely immaculate
The weapon catching on the bottom too
wierd its not showing the rest
oh hey its finally showing the video
UTTERLY AMAZING
OH MY GOD
i was not expecting that..
thats GOTTA hurt
on the topic of abyss runs i just did a scythe man abyss run with no arms lolol
fpv clip
I could never get into FP in this game, props to making it work!
wanna see something silly
its a spare somehow even though i drove a polearm entirely through his chest
yes
sillyness
thankyou thanykou
Yeah?
didnt I already see this but still perfect
hello silly mod
yes im so proud of it i had to post it twice in one day
hello green goober previously fart farty mc farterton
whos fart farty mc farterton
Plancons deserve this.
Me too cause most times when I get killed very shortly after
i didnt think i could cut through his arm armor
dont gaslight me you CRETIN
im not creatine
i think i once killed a plancon with a candlestick
cannibalism
I hope you crunch something in your soft food goober
that is terrible
this has happened several times to me before
anyways watch this sick clip
And I hope its already too far down so you cant really search for it with your tongue so eventually you just gotta give up
yeah yeah yeah
go gamble in the las vegas strip PAL
oh wait
your in the BORING part of nevada 😂
Literally a seven hour drive bozo
thats just a you problem bucko...
erm, yeah
ill ban you if you dont agree with me
bro thinks hes easter
ill get moai to ban you if you dont agree with me
NGL this abyss loadout has that condotierri drip
moai may be evil but hes not betray other mods evil
struggled not to kill this guy
yeah thats what i thought pal
Maoi also despises Cool3DWorld, he fuckin hates it more than anything else on earth
Tf is cool3dworld
You'd prolly like it you FREAK
what is this
My reaction exactly
Sent flying like he's team rocket or something
i finally stopped resorting to flailing about like my weapon is a baseball bat
LOL
What do you mean what. My name
just needed to hammer it in
But it refused. ahh npc
Bro had determination and a plan
he lives
before and after, what the willie doin?
im never pressing x again.. this too powerful man..
aftermath
the parry of anguish and pain
Nice and question do you just like get good at parrying by parrying
you get good at parrying by learning mouse control and some other key factors
^
mouse control is the main one
by learning to override passive parry
its also your mouse knowledge
bit of a slow parry here, but
what movements of your mouse make what stance
learning how to read your opponent is also a key factor
Aight I will now continue my crusade against the willes
if their blade is leaning to their right, they most likely will swing from the right unless they're a dirty trickster
cant wait for someone to create a gun mod when the game comes out..
is it tho?
trying to find a parry clip but I haven't named any of them
if you want better parrying tips, talk to clueless
i cant wait to customize my willie when the game comes out
parrying would be so much better in general if there was a parry assist slider or something
my best parry by far, only because I manouvered into a thrust, which is nearly impossible in halfsword
parry to thrust that is, thrusting is easy
honestly the best way i learnt is that theres a little oval around the body, a zone where your character "autoparries", if you go past that zone it becomes a "swing" and the "autoparry" does not function
i think we call this a sheitelhau
thats pretty neat
This ones my best I think
I dont move my mouse in this clip once btw
your way of playing is EXTREMELY good in a way i cant explain
yeah HEMA terminology isn't something I'm familiar with because German.
most of the parries you see in this game are attack in preparation style
because passive parries suck
aw hah, thanks dude.
most players predict where the AI will move, knock their weapon aside and then capitalise
and that's something only time can teach you, really
rather than waiting for a blow to come, then delivering a parry into riposte
I usually try and go for a one hit kill around their defences if I can. Parries are fun, but squirreling your way past their weapon into a vital can be super fun
yeah, casting the blade aside during the bind is really cool and efficient
anyways this is my 150th clip
50 more until 200
i cut his toes off mid-fight
Found another parry clip
my fav example of that exact thing
obs
im aware
Ooo, i need a sec to load
ohhh beee esss
i think it might have to do with the fact that you use actually weighty weapons instead of the 98,000th longsword clip
well, it's more of an example of using the entire weapon to open up an enemy before delivering a killing strike
This is one of my favorite moves with the hammer. Throwing a side-long strike directly to he head.
but still, squirelling around the defences by basically grappling the buckler with my longsword
whats passive parry
That was super smooth
where the game tries to parry for you
without your mouse control
Ah ok
its really bad
uhhhg its where you parry passively or something
the fuck is he trying to do???
if you hold your weapon in front of you, your character will automatically move their weapon to intercept enemy strikes, and 90% of the time they'll miss, open up your guard and get you killed
and if you use opposite hand grip (pressing x) your passive parry with just be reversed
ty
yorking peenar
I think this is the squirreliest i've gotten with a thrust.
hello john
he ran right into it
see this is a parry combined with a flagrant abuse of Halfsword's physics.
it's fucking awesome, but also pure bs lmao
Johns great at what he does
"Maybe you're wondering..."
clearly a wizard
shortsward
i finally found out that plancons arent even half as scary when you use a shield
Im confused
THere's not much in this game that makes me feel like a good and well adjusted human, but I definitely hit a low point when I'm slowly scooting my opponent out of the ring by kicking him repeatedly in the balls with alternate feet
you only need to know that if you use polearms
Knuckle sandwich
AHHH JEEZUS
AKNGSKJANGKAJSNGKJANGJKA
I use some of them
anyone else excited for crossbow?
"Me when I fucking get you"
I'm more excited to know release date!
who needs a long pointy sword?
fair
Why is my guy whining like a little baby?
why is your guy drunk
NICE
chill out on the ale
Did you intend to throw the shield to his face?
i did
and it did not work
It do be hard sometimes
me 3 tankards of ale in
crying and all
Lmao
i weigh maybe 2 stone
should I get a cold one chat
yes
say less brother
blushes
my shortsword was simply just better
the way of the headbutt
i feel bad about this one
I think his ego was more hurt at the end
i nicked a artery in his throat
he just straight up bled out

what mouse should I get for this game I currently have a Logitech G502 Hero
mouses dont really
matter
you just gotta have onee, any kind i guess
maybe he means like, for dodging
It doesn't matter the mouse either
You just move sideways, and flick the mouse
is there some sort of optimal mouse sensitivity not including the dpi i can figure that out
this arena aint big enough for 2 greenards
There could only be one fart boy
how would I do that
whatever works for you i guess
there isnt a meta for mouses
meta is lowering all your sens down to 0
i dont want to be flailing around wildly lol
Move your weapon away from the standard guard before passive parry begins to take effect, you’ve got a very, very slim window but once it clicks it clicks
SO TRUE
do you use 0 sens 😭
yeah i'll send a clip rq
oh well i guess im somewhat similar
ok
Thats similar to my settings
Heres mine
hmmm somethings off here...
tis but a scratch!
Played as a Barron a while ago, and turned into 1st person view
didn't see a damn thing
😭
Alley oop!!!
oh also one time i just randomly decided to charge someone in reckless abandon
sometimes the npcs are really dumb, One npc was really trying to cut me with that spear with two pointy thing infront like it was a sword
Strange fight
How many of you use half sword enhancer
thats because thats
Brother is doing Iaido
thats sharp
Now Im even more confused
woops
lmao
ai have different personalities
some are shit some are good
some are passive
some are aggressive
Ok didnt think about that
some just fucking bumrush you
(and die instantly if you play your cards right)
"Cool duo poses to try with your bro"
Yall we only get two more teasers 💔
till what?
just noticed your pfp, peak
we aint getting a date in those 2 teasers left
i disarmed a guy and just decided to start fist-fighting him (cut down since its like 2 minutes long i think)
What a bro, editing his clip since it was too long
There must be a name for that kind of fighting
something of note since i just tabbed back in
holy shit on (i fucked up my flourish AGAIN)
Like, grabbing each other with one hand, and punching with the other
grappling
Hmm
whats the best weapon for man at arms and knight
This games so peak yet so ass at the same time
Commoner boss ?
poleaxe poleaxe and poleaxe
Just in general
long stick with an axe head
thanks frne
long stick users 
Only ass moment for me is getting cut in half by a blunt weapon
new announcement so peak and the crossbow video so peak
Just walk it of or put some ice on it. Do you guys agree
Anyone has good advice on hangover?
