[azure mirage]

ttt

[humble iris]

look at 4-8 seconds

[wheat leaf]

so either dont even attempt parrying or use something else to parry-

[humble iris]

he moves his blade to his left i move mine to my right to intercept

thats reading your opponent!!

[shell bronze]

i had a milsim phase that still has a lasting effect to this day

[humble iris]

i dont have much examples since everything i do is very fast paced and i dont want to overwhelm you

[shell bronze]

you CAN but it sucks balls and you gain no benefit

man i love that they made weapons without a balance bias, but at some point id like to be able to use the weapons against each other xD

[velvet halo]

hey whats the best loadout to help me train

parrying

[wheat leaf]

doesnt even do that really, literally almost every attempt results in their weapon just blowing right past like my wrist is made of spaghetti

[humble iris]

yeah in only rare scenarios

you have to put power in the counter force

and you have to have decent leverage

[velvet halo]

also how do i aim my sword better

[wheat leaf]

only real chance i have at parrying w a arming is to catch their blade super low on mine, like basically on the crossguard

[velvet halo]

i fell like i cant aim it

i lower my sens

[humble iris]

lower sens

and practice on training dummy

[velvet halo]

predicted

[humble iris]

for better mouse control

[wheat leaf]

ive never really understood this as others have said it to me before, how can you put more power into a parry? like it just makes you swing faster and miss the parry

[drowsy flint]

i was told high sens is better because then you get more power in your swings

[wild radish]

it is better but its not as fun if u just kill everything immediatel

y

[humble iris]

i mean

its hard to explain

but the way i see it is just push into it

so your arms dont go noodle

that may mean to swing into it

[mental kelp]

Alt for narrow (absetzen), double click or extended alt for wide catching; both add more strength if you can’t get enough from a stepping.

[azure mirage]

@shell bronze https://www.instagram.com/reel/DO2yeQRjqyw/?igsh=OXNheDltcXl0dHFs
you probably find this shit funnier than me because I cackled my ass off

Instagram

[wheat leaf]

maybe i just needa time it better then, im not static blocking with the arming sword but anything else usually just fails to engage their blade in any meaningful way

[azure mirage]

ttt

[velvet halo]

@humble iris how about now

[shell bronze]

Tf

[silent stag]

lol

[silent stag]

that parry was clean

[humble iris]

biggo mistakeo i see

but you did stop him from like

[velvet halo]

severing your head in two

[velvet halo]

thakn yoiuj

i shouldnt all ways go for head

[wheat leaf]

consesus; willies high on something, your mid

[humble iris]

yes but his guard is high

yours is at the middle

[velvet halo]

should mine be high

[humble iris]

if his is high, yours should too

you want to control that center line

[silent stag]

rate clip

[humble iris]

he had a clear shot on your center line

which was your head

[velvet halo]

nice piss screen

ok sensai

[wheat leaf]

what drives you to have this look

[silent stag]

autism

[humble iris]

you kind of want to "mirror" the opponents guard

keep control of center line and you wont get caught off guard

[shell bronze]

looks something like this

[wheat leaf]

🤝

valid

[silent stag]

but nobody rated the clip :C

[humble iris]

ye

[silent stag]

hello can someone rate my clip pretty please

[humble iris]

@velvet halo if you dont know what the center line is, this is what it is

[humble iris]

10/10

[velvet halo]

here

[atomic terrace]

do we have any idea at all on a release date? like within the next month or something?

[runic lynx]

That filter is actually pretty cool

[humble iris]

try to avoid flailing

[runic lynx]

Nividw?

[velvet halo]

what

[humble iris]

opens up your center line

[silent stag]

could've been epic if it wasn't for his sword coming to life...

[velvet halo]

panicing ?

[silent stag]

reshade

[humble iris]

panic swings, flailing

[velvet halo]

but what if i get hot

[shell bronze]

this fight couldve simply ended with a https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1043854764095582260/1429659563526979615/3554F41.MP4?ex=68fe31f9&is=68fce079&hm=9a530380d5686dcd89593e591f9f9aee35b6209734c67f092c35519b2ad5c321&

[humble iris]

wht

[velvet halo]

hit

[humble iris]

keep composure

panicing opens you up more

[velvet halo]

why you soo fast

[silent stag]

overcomplicating stuff is fun

[velvet halo]

yes sensai

[humble iris]

unless your about to die (you shouldnt even be at this point) dont flail

[shell bronze]

only if it looks cool

[silent stag]

trying to replicate him (gone wrong)

[drowsy flint]

rate my communism

[mental kelp]

This was good; know that u can also shoot the long point in with double click to protect the center line at risk of the arms/hands. after you got in that bind and he pulled away, it would have been well to do to set on him (shoot the point)

[velvet halo]

bro how do i avoid stabs

so fucking annoy ing

i hate this ganm

eadsadas

[silent stag]

dodge

[humble iris]

they usually have a stance when they're about to stab

but not all the time

i hate stabs too

they suck

[shell bronze]

alternatively, step back

[drowsy flint]

parry? its a straight attack, can just swing and sweep it aside

[shell bronze]

or aside

[humble iris]

and if they miss the stab

punish

kill them

remove their head for even thinking about stabbing

[shell bronze]

time to get on and spam clips

what a tough day @ work

[velvet halo]

@shell bronze what about here

i mean

@humble iris

[silent stag]

nvm I hate fpp

[shell bronze]

good blocks against first 2 attacks

[velvet halo]

https://tenor.com/view/uwu-egirl-gif-24423676

thanks

[humble iris]

this is good

[shell bronze]

wake me up when the ai is advanced enough to stop bs like this from happening

[silent stag]

play in fpp it's much harder

[velvet halo]

whats is fpp

[drowsy flint]

hard to parry a mace when the sword seems to gravitate towards the buckler

hard to practice when he decides to just headbutt the sword point

[drowsy flint]

first person perspective

aka first person view (pfv)

[humble iris]

overall good clip but i do recommend finding a stance that works well against their attacks that start from this stance

[wheat leaf]

wake me up when the AI stops wildly flailing every time im within 2 feet of him 😭

[silent stag]

frustration..

[humble iris]

usually, (for me) this means they'll swing from their left to their right

[shell bronze]

?

[humble iris]

so prepare your sword to your right

[shell bronze]

that one is a bit hard to properly counter

[humble iris]

honestly

its easier

[shell bronze]

it's more ideal to just bait them and force a backswing

[wheat leaf]

fpp is easier for fine blade control, but its harder to windup swings accurately

[humble iris]

if they feint me out then i get fucked

[shell bronze]

if you're goated you don'

[silent stag]

ye

[shell bronze]

t need fpp to feel your blade

[drowsy flint]

yep

[wheat leaf]

ts just stressing me out

[silent stag]

ik

[wheat leaf]

idk how to describe it you have like that 2006 mountain dew and dorito's piss filter

giving master chief vibes vaguely

MAYBE cool ranch

[silent stag]

I use it because default medium settings look like ass

[velvet halo]

@humble iris

[wheat leaf]

better than that ig yeah. the scaling is kinda balls

[onyx forum]

i should make a 300 movie reshade

[humble iris]

nice read and parry on the low strike

and good dodge from the feint in the beginning

[velvet halo]

thanks sensai

[silent stag]

bro these graphics make me want to close the game already...

you see how unmotivated I am

that's why i missed 2 swings lol

[wheat leaf]

is it that glitchy on your side or just my video quality

like im hearing parries but not seeing them

its that choppy

[shell bronze]

i sleep on first person this wobble sucks azz

[silent stag]

it's my side wtf why is the video recording failing

[humble iris]

@velvet halo this is what i mean when i say mirror their guard

just for better reference

[velvet halo]

ok sensai

[wheat leaf]

so your not gaming at like 12.5 fps?

[silent stag]

no, check my other clips

[humble iris]

but still, be cautious

they love to feint

[humble iris]

they might give you a false signal and attack from another direction

whenever that happens, either dodge back

[shell bronze]

willie sucks so bad at thrusting jesus

[humble iris]

or try to parry it if you can

[wheat leaf]

willie throwing a stab with 1h is like trying to shoot a gun with only the front or rear iron sight

its just never aligned at all

[astral raven]

Yeah he’s pretty rtdar when it comes to pointing a sword forward

[wheat leaf]

its that he has weak ass wrists, they rotate way too much when you just need a firm solid grip

[humble iris]

@velvet halo BTW this usually (your blades practically touching) will only be from the middle guard regions

[wheat leaf]

i like the rotation cause it allows parries and fun stuff, but it also makes him flimsy for lack of better term

[humble iris]

so from any other guard region (low/high), just worry about getting to a sweet spot to block a blow from

[astral raven]

He can’t even hold the sword still when you move around

[shell bronze]

dumb ai vs men strike

[wheat leaf]

same reason why long/heavy polearms usually can only hit the waist or lower when using thrust stance

[astral raven]

I get that walking will bounce from you walking but his whole ass arms and wrist are juggling around

Holy fuck autocorrect

[wheat leaf]

its mostly a 1h issue though

as long as he has 2 points of contact opposing each other hes mostly ok

[silent stag]

how do I use controller on hs

[astral raven]

Still very prevalent when trying to stab while moving

[wheat leaf]

100%

[astral raven]

On two handed swords

[shell bronze]

thrust fail

[silent stag]

help how do I use controller on hs

[wheat leaf]

2h swords struggle with the thrust cause of it, 1h anything struggles with every movement and motion because of it

[velvet halo]

here

@humble iris

[humble iris]

good dodge into a parry

i see you know that they love to chain strikes like that

[wheat leaf]

remember. even when you think theres no way willie would do the same shit 3 times over, he most absolutely will

[astral raven]

I don’t think increasing the strength multiplier fixed the issue with his wrist either

[wheat leaf]

nope

[velvet halo]

am i getter better

[humble iris]

yes stabber

[sand herald]

stabber’s training arc

[humble iris]

stabber will become hs7 material before november 1st

[wheat leaf]

even as a spectator ive just watched you go from wild hacking and slashing to solid parries and 1 hit dismemberments in the span of like an hour maybe

[astral raven]

Training for ea improved enemies

[velvet halo]

wow everyones beliveing in me

i will join the hs7 sooon

i would know

because i lost my neck artery ( forgot the name) and its been fine ever since

ok i took too long to type that

joke instantly killed

[wheat leaf]

i just dont get how you dont get hit even when you parry

[pearl ferry]

do not parry downward swings!!!!!!!

[wheat leaf]

happens to me nearly every time

[drowsy flint]

lol blood literally squirting out of his neck

walk it off bitch

[humble iris]

his blade is either overpowering you

or overextended past your blade

and nicked you

[astral raven]

Dude is the commoner boss ai different

[shell bronze]

he'll be fine

[astral raven]

Because he’s the only one that actually fakes you out

[wheat leaf]

both, as well as the shitass willie with a falchion and dagger that NEEDS to land a hit no matter how close to death he is

[astral raven]

Mf will come from and overhand and then twist that bitch to the side and get ny neck

[humble iris]

lightwork

[wheat leaf]

i have a feeling my habit of 'gambling' in games like mordhau and chivalry 2 are biting me in the ass here

[humble iris]

falchion is easy to parry

too thick

and they get blunt hits alot because of that thickness

[wheat leaf]

for you maybe, those mf's might as well be shaving razors

[humble iris]

try stepping back a bit so they dont overextend

that helps

[pearl ferry]

falchion = it breaks through your parry and explodes you

[velvet halo]

bro that stupid circle sheid i hate it so much

[humble iris]

buckler

[wheat leaf]

lemme see if i can get some 'typical' clips to assess

[pearl ferry]

that's like their whole shtick is you block it and it touches your skin and your leg explodes

[mental kelp]

Works on my machine

[shell bronze]

i'm different and the ai is dumb

[pearl ferry]

me too bro

[velvet halo]

whats a good sword loadout

[velvet halo]

yes

[hidden widget]

Nice!

cant wait to play it

[wheat leaf]

got this one as a example, i see my major problems but the part i keep fucking up on is when he does those little shitty followup swings right after, or when he winds up for what looks like a swing to the shoulder/body but then just whiffs it low to the thigh or calf

[shell bronze]

the annoying part about fighting veteran is all the big shields

[hidden widget]

but how much will it be?\

[hidden widget]

ikr

[velvet halo]

100

[hidden widget]

youve gotta go over the sheild or switch hands

[wheat leaf]

real, if they dont add some way to filter or sort enemies in ea im prob taking a break for a while lmao

[pearl ferry]

i love soldier but the second i see a shield i just half sword and run at them at mach 10

[shell bronze]

or the shields in general

[weak osprey]

Prolly 10-30 dollars

[hidden widget]

100 what? Guarnies?

dollars? apples?

[hidden widget]

oh sweet

[velvet halo]

fine 60

[pearl ferry]

do this to all shield enemies

[humble iris]

no

EA

[hidden widget]

ohh ok

[humble iris]

its 50% of the full game

[velvet halo]

oh

wat

[hidden widget]

still good

[humble iris]

it will be 10-30 USD

with regional pricing

[shell bronze]

30 second clip

nty

[velvet halo]

best attention span

[hidden widget]

usually since im nearby brazil we get great prices on digital games

[humble iris]

any clip above 20 seconds are a no go...

[pearl ferry]

"greater than 30 seconds"

look inside
30 seconds on the dot

[pearl ferry]

cocomelon attention span

[humble iris]

yeah i never said i didnt have that

[pearl ferry]

gotta condense everything down to instagram reels

[wheat leaf]

getting so frustrated with the AI i had to just humiliate him

[humble iris]

if i dont see death in 15 seconds i dont wanna SEE IT

[hidden widget]

even cocomelon has longer clips

[pearl ferry]

snooze fest 5 second clips that are just all the sameeeeeee

[humble iris]

see this is a good clip

[pearl ferry]

yawn

[humble iris]

14 seconds

[steady ice]

Dude, sometimes I would cut a hand off so clean that Willie doesn’t bleed out or surrender

[hidden widget]

attention span of poo throwing monkey

[hidden widget]

thats crasy

[wheat leaf]

im lowkey happy with the sword throw to the groin

one of those things you do intentionally but never expect to actually work

[humble iris]

yeah i do that sometimes too lmao

[shell bronze]

when an anti shield technique is advertised i would expect a concise clip that gets straight to it

[humble iris]

randomly throw

[round stone]

"Aight bro, just do it"

[wheat leaf]

you never know if itll be the clip of the month

[round stone]

🥀

[pearl ferry]

those are boring and usually take like maybe 3 seconds

i said "do this to all shield enemies" because i like lop their head off

and that's awesome

[drowsy flint]

heres something different just for you

[humble iris]

id rather have a snooze fest that gets to the point instead of a movie

[pearl ferry]

"a movie" 30 seconds

[humble iris]

yes

a movie

[wheat leaf]

this is my favourite anti-shield technique for polearms, works for anything from a short spear to a halberd

[pearl ferry]

snort more coke then

[pearl ferry]

absolute kino

[humble iris]

are you telling me to participate in actions that are illegal 😱

[pearl ferry]

maybe the butchery isnt needed after but other than that it's cool

[shell bronze]

goated

works up to man at arms

[wheat leaf]

ive had it work up to t8 but it just gets less and less consistent

usually only on t7-t8's that dont have full pauldrons

or bevors

[pearl ferry]

here's some cocomelon for all my cocomelon fans

[humble iris]

such a professional sheathe

[shell bronze]

shield user moment

[humble iris]

clip wont play, not satisfied d

[velvet halo]

why shoudnt i hold shift why im fight i forgo

forgot

[pearl ferry]

will this one play

[humble iris]

no

[velvet halo]

and also should i up my lock on

[humble iris]

you might overextend

[velvet halo]

im at 50 percent

[pearl ferry]

i find it's easier to parry when not sprinting

[humble iris]

^

[velvet halo]

ok

[humble iris]

only use shift when trying to close distance (or retreat)

dodge

or lunge into a strike

[shell bronze]

smartest shield user

[wheat leaf]

a stab with a falchion? blasphemy

[humble iris]

you can hold shift when standing still IF your planning to dodge

only IF

[pearl ferry]

its peak

[velvet halo]

what about lock on

what do you have it on

sensai

[humble iris]

yes

i use lock on

[wheat leaf]

could not hold it any less in front of him xD

[shell bronze]

axe users

[velvet halo]

what do you have it on

like half

[humble iris]

little more than half

[velvet halo]

thanks sensai

[pearl ferry]

i forgot about this stupid ass for honor execution clip

bro did a whole flip

[shell bronze]

honestly falchion is incredibly overpowered

[humble iris]

it severs easily

[pearl ferry]

yea it touches people and explodes them

it's awesome

[humble iris]

if you get hit by it

death

but its not that bad to counter or parry it

[wheat leaf]

i think having such a wide blade just means more surface area to count as blade to body contact, same reason the big halberds are busted the same way

[shell bronze]

another case of "good only when i use it"

[humble iris]

that does make it a bit prone to flip and hit on the flat edge doing small blunt damage

but only if its a 1h

and if it goes fast

which is why yeah

falchion is better when i use it

[wheat leaf]

ngl i think i just dont like how any 1h weapons handle in general

[shell bronze]

falchion gaming

[wheat leaf]

all the ones with any meaningful length just dont aim worth balls really cause they end up being too front heavy for his wrists

[naive holly]

Woodsman best axe

[shell bronze]

foolish overhead

[humble iris]

this is why alot of people make custom 1h swords

because they can put the weight where they want to

[wheat leaf]

even the custom ones are fairly mid compared to anything 2h base game or mod

[velvet halo]

bro these npc

[humble iris]

custom ones and mods are the same thing

[velvet halo]

\are so crazy

i cant parry

[wheat leaf]

i know, was making a distinction between base game 2h and modded 2h, mighta worded it weirdly

[humble iris]

oh

i read it wrong

woopsie

well i mean

ofc a 2h sword is going to be somewhat superior against a 1h

especially considering hs physics

1h swords against 2h have basically zero leverage

and have little strength against them

nothing we can do about that sadly

[steady ice]

That is indeed for honor type shit

[wheat leaf]

thats what im getting at yeah, ofc 2h will have its inevitable strengths that a 1h doesnt have, but the fundamentals are just severely lacking in halfsword at this stage in development

[shell bronze]

time to make a kurosawa duel the long way

[pearl ferry]

peacekeeper ass execution

[humble iris]

EA will bring better grip (and arm) strength, hopefully improving 1H swords

we just gotta wait

[wheat leaf]

it needs more rigidity of body position and form, thats what makes a 1h sword like a rapier or saber worth using, cause they can perform against 2h swords irl via proper form

[steady ice]

Imagine u go down with him after that and pommel him in the head

[wheat leaf]

if that happens, ill be a happy chappy

ill still be a happy chappy when ea comes i just want more to mess around with

[humble iris]

crossbow wins against everything

boom

[wheat leaf]

the reload situation for crossbows looked kinda weird

[humble iris]

they most likely refined it

[wheat leaf]

i hope so, id hate to have such a hyped up weapon with that much potential be reduced to just dragging a bar and hitting a button on screen

[humble iris]

oh thats what you meant

i thought you meant like

the way the character looked when reloading

[wheat leaf]

no no the mechanics of reloading is whats weird to me

[humble iris]

could just be a placeholder for the actual deal

i dunno!

[wheat leaf]

nobody does lol

the clip made it look like opening an overlay app and doing the reload before coming back to the game the way it changes mouse inputs from body and weapon movements to on-screen cursor movements

they'll do whats right tho, ik this dev team is cookin something good

[velvet halo]

@humble iris

[humble iris]

hello

[velvet halo]

bro i cant parry anymor

i lost it

i so bad now

[humble iris]

i cant assess you unless i have a clip to refer to!!

[velvet halo]

here

and im having a hard time with the people with 2 sword i cant even do anytihng they keep swing

and coming

[weak osprey]

They are cooking a 5 star dish

[humble iris]

this one seems fine

let me just look at the second one really quick

[velvet halo]

oh

only was posting good clips

forgot to post the bad ons

[humble iris]

yeah those clips were good

parry chain was good

[velvet halo]

here

[humble iris]

blade was a bit too high here

[humble iris]

keep the parry low low

your sword is long enough to the point where if you get a low stance like that against a low strike

it will usually always parry something like that

[velvet halo]

is my sword

to op

[humble iris]

wdym

[velvet halo]

is i t to long

[humble iris]

no

its a good sword

[humble iris]

for the first hit, i wouldnt expect you to parry something like that since that was a double feint

but you should get used to a specific overhead parry stance that is very good against these (and every other overheard strike)

[wheat leaf]

thank god my arm was broken, perfect for sheathing my dagger

[severe trench]

low key just move laterally

parrying is good but you don't exploit the gaps

if you make an opening you should use it probably

[humble iris]

a stance sort of like this

maybe not behind your head that much

[shell bronze]

try the other side

ukenagashi parry

[humble iris]

yeah i shouldve

somehow still worked since he feinted to the opposite side of the overhead

[velvet halo]

what\

what stace

[wheat leaf]

shamisen lowkey goes so hard

[weak osprey]

Clean

[shell bronze]

ghost of frankenberg

[velvet halo]

what does it look like

[wheat leaf]

oddly it also fits extremely well in rock songs-

[shell bronze]

i can make duels like these for people who want to highlight a cool duel

ghost of tsushima/yotei style

[wheat leaf]

its got a medium-sized square drum body almost like a banjo, with a thin wooden neck, no frets, 3 string usually

[humble iris]

kind of like this (the right one is a better example)

the left one is a bit low

[shell bronze]

i have a clip that showcases several overhead blocks from different angles

[humble iris]

post that for him

[shell bronze]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1043854764095582260/1430115299977596969/5499F81.MP4?ex=68fe88e9&is=68fd3769&hm=a0fc6ec6651843e3dd2b7744c5309d3b6f8197c1448da7ea455bf80360d9d39a&

[velvet halo]

like this

[humble iris]

i dont have that much examples

[velvet halo]

isnt the hs grip better

for over head

[humble iris]

eh

[shell bronze]

no that's hollywood bs

works in very specific situations

[mental kelp]

water droplet effect for flashback, clueless in scene “I only do Hollywood choreography”

[shell bronze]

let me show you some blocks @velvet halo

[shell bronze]

he's trying to learn how to fight good

why do you think i'm telling him not to hollywood

[mental kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-thinking-monkey-thinking-think-money-gif-9734025314392564509

[velvet halo]

these look kinda hard to move your mouse to

[humble iris]

kind of looks something like this

ignore me going into camera mode

thought i could get a picture (i couldnt)

[shell bronze]

how mfs expect me to block every attack

[shell bronze]

i can

[humble iris]

its so awkard for my fingies!!!!

[shell bronze]

skip 10 seconds ahead to ignore the fuckass side swings

[wheat leaf]

what would you consider to be your absolute best clip, or like one of the top 3-5

[shell bronze]

block from the other side

@velvet halo

[humble iris]

yeah good enough for me (the spark is where his blade hit)

[velvet halo]

ok

ill try that

[wheat leaf]

sumn about the other willies pose is funny to me

the most squared and unenthusiastic stance ever

[humble iris]

hes flabbergasted

[west kite]

cg

[velvet halo]

they should make npc that you can spawn in the do a spefic swing like a left swing

[wheat leaf]

ive never seen a sword fighter stance that squared

[velvet halo]

right wing

over ahead

[silent stag]

Will half sword have cards and achievements

[potent mica]

quick question does anybody know if theres a mod that lets me choose my loadouts?

[humble iris]

OVRDTH

on nexus

[potent mica]

thx man

[humble iris]

you can get other mods for OVR on nexus too

[wheat leaf]

they'll probably do like a lil tutorial fight that runs through the main attacks and blocks like that

[humble iris]

just download em, paste them into the pooled_saves, and then your good to go

[wheat leaf]

when the games closer to release

[humble iris]

remember to read instructions

[shell bronze]

that would be too easy for these casuals

make them learn the fun way!

[sand herald]

that's a pretty tough one, i have so many clips that i find cool in their own ways that it'll take a bit for me to think of a top selection

[shell bronze]

spear kick top 5 easily

[humble iris]

make them learn to block commoner boss greatsword off rip

if they cant do it, then they dont deserve to play the game

[sand herald]

i forgot about that one to be honest lmfao

[wheat leaf]

...spear kick?

you what

[humble iris]

spear kick.

[wheat leaf]

pardon

[sand herald]

Spear kick

[wheat leaf]

naw

thats some downright sorcery

[velvet halo]

hacer

hacker

[wheat leaf]

actually insane clip thats so cool

[wheat leaf]

if it were anyone else id ponder the idea

[shell bronze]

told you he's peak player

[humble iris]

the fuck is this stance

[potent mica]

can you guide me on how to use it or download the files into the actual game? i downloaded it from nexus

[wheat leaf]

lowkey unapproachable

that shit defensive as hell lmao

[humble iris]

check the nexus mod description for ovr

[shell bronze]

the joys of a pointy end

[humble iris]

it should have instructions

[wheat leaf]

i cant think of one attack where he doesnt outreach you by default

[shell bronze]

actual turtling

[humble iris]

he nearly fell on his ass

[shell bronze]

this is what longpoint mfs think they are

[humble iris]

😭

[quaint ingot]

He can only hit your knees while you can hit the head

[wheat leaf]

how italian rapier users feel after putting their hand next to their face

[sand herald]

This one was back from somewhere in August

[velvet halo]

bro that

overhead parry

to hard to do

[humble iris]

good example

[wheat leaf]

cant afford the point this month 😔

[shell bronze]

i stole it sorry

[wheat leaf]

i make do, still knocked him out

[humble iris]

another one

[wheat leaf]

i cant wait for some kind of stationary camera option during the fight, this fighting style either gonna look so cool or so incredibly silly

[wheat leaf]

upward swing with a poleaxe?

[humble iris]

and another one

@velvet halo

[velvet halo]

ITS TO HARD

[wheat leaf]

thats

thats what

[velvet halo]

bro its way earyis

to hs grip

[humble iris]

you just gotta en guarde

and then hes gone!

think of it as going into oxgaurd

[shell bronze]

do not tell this mf to go to ochs

[humble iris]

ermmmmm

too alte

[shell bronze]

shit sucks in this game already don't force him to visualize it

[velvet halo]

huh

whats ochs

[shell bronze]

a position

[humble iris]

a guard

[wheat leaf]

ox?

[shell bronze]

stabber training arc fail?

[velvet halo]

how

why

nooo

NOO

WHYY

[humble iris]

ok nvm forget anything about ox

its nothing like that now that i look at it

[velvet halo]

h

hm

[wheat leaf]

i wish ox and hanging guard were possible..

[humble iris]

give your blade a sort of slant

[shell bronze]

LMAO @humble iris @wheat leaf @sand herald

[humble iris]

give me 2 minutes for the clip to start playing

this happens regularly

[velvet halo]

@velvet halo

[wheat leaf]

had some pressure built up in there xD

fully armored knight so mad about getting clapped by a commoner his blood was boiling

[humble iris]

ok now it plays

[shell bronze]

bullying

[humble iris]

oh man thats gotta hurt

[wheat leaf]

since im usually the one posting poleaxe while clueless posts sword, guess i gotta post sword now

[humble iris]

yes yes

good good

you see the slant

[tight pond]

You pressing the thrust button to get that? I do it but it never has the same aggression.

[velvet halo]

bro these guys

[shell bronze]

nope

[humble iris]

at the start that was a good catch with the crossguard

you couldve torqued it and reposted

[velvet halo]

what

[humble iris]

ok ill dumb it down

[quaint ingot]

funny how the photo mode only slows down time because when I use the Enhancer mod and boost the jump power very high, I’m still moving while in it

[humble iris]

mace got blocked and caught on your crossguard

it got stuck there, thats good

[wheat leaf]

its good sometimes but it can be a very situational move ngl

[humble iris]

you couldve followed up with a repost--a counter attack after a parry--to kill him

that would be practical

[wheat leaf]

both the swing to the arm and the one to the head right after are alt swings

[shell bronze]

mf is dying and decides to dodge me one more time anyways

[humble iris]

missed attack, clip ruined.

[wheat leaf]

for the sake of testing this one was done with almost exclusively alt

[wheat leaf]

most recent match i played before taking a break, i think willie was flabbergasted by that one

[shell bronze]

you guys fw the flamingo legs

[humble iris]

good overhead parry

[wheat leaf]

finally some realistic clips

[humble iris]

yes

[wheat leaf]

ts happens too often with poleaxe i swear

[quaint ingot]

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Willie stab himself before we even fought

[humble iris]

its a floor glitch i think lmao

i think thats why that one guy was on his knees

[wheat leaf]

idk maybe certain bodypositions or weapons make you more prone to it

[humble iris]

good good

[wheat leaf]

ive had a fair few clips i thought would be great get ruined because willie starts getting weak in the knees out of nowhere

[quaint ingot]

Mine likes to try to die, had him run right into my weapon and die

[wheat leaf]

they do that occasionally

[quaint ingot]

Very often for me

[wheat leaf]

sometimes i do that occasionaly and run into their blade xD

[shell bronze]

flamingo legs has unironically ruined so many clips for me

[tight pond]

Is custom loadout and NPC loading gonna be a base game feature?

[wheat leaf]

you hit a crazy combo and go to step back and pause while they surrender but then you just tip over for no reason

[shell bronze]

it's worse when you have a super good clip going and your guy just doesn't dash back

[quaint ingot]

I’ve only had that happen like 2 times

[humble iris]

such a dull little sword

[quaint ingot]

Willie prefers to die for me

[shell bronze]

i am the iaido champion

[weak osprey]

Hopefully

[wheat leaf]

ive found once you finish the fight if you hold the sword to your far right and sheath it does kinda a flashy motion

gives it that nice unsheath->attack->resheath

[humble iris]

nevermind thats a pretty sharp sword

[tardy yew]

is the game crashing for anyone else? I keep getting fatal errors

[wheat leaf]

i didnt even see the hand switches until the 2nd or 3rd play

[shell bronze]

i half sword right as i sheathe

makes it smoother

[wheat leaf]

ooo i havent tried that yet

[humble iris]

had to adapt to his stinky little shield

[humble iris]

i do that too sometimes

[shell bronze]

ignore the fact that the kill was so crazy the game micro-crashed

[covert flare]

i hit him with the god of war O button 9000

[humble iris]

my ears

[covert flare]

Ghost of Tsushima heavenly strike!!

[covert flare]

yeah gamebar sucks

[humble iris]

do not play music with gamebar please

[covert flare]

is steam overlay better?

[covert flare]

i think its obvious tbh

[shell bronze]

my ears

[shell bronze]

yes

[humble iris]

yes

[covert flare]

its worth the watch

[humble iris]

very much so

[wheat leaf]

awwww man you totally got the japanese style sheath down thats sick

[shell bronze]

chiburi is the final thing for aura points

i just don't do it often for clips because it's cringe larp

[wheat leaf]

i dont got any clips of it yet ive been trying to do a little flick like swinging the blood off the blade before sheathing

purely for the style, doesnt do anything ingame or irl really

[wheat leaf]

its hard to do most of the iaido kinda stuff when your drawing the sword the wrong way up

[shell bronze]

more or less

face down is more of a tachi/pre-edo thing

[wheat leaf]

exactly

just gotta adapt to it and start with upward cuts rather than downward being that the cutting edge is starting down

[velvet halo]

am i ready to join the hs 7

[humble iris]

stabber you are already in the hs7, did you forget?

[wheat leaf]

i remember first learning how to properly draw and sheath a katana, its awkward but when you finally get it right its such a cool feeling

[velvet halo]

huh

[covert flare]

check it out, first video with steam overlay

[humble iris]

did you forget?

[velvet halo]

since when

[humble iris]
