Aight

@Bastard dude ... Knuckle sandwiches taste like blood. I don't do metallic taste in my mouth if I can help it.

Now, are you absolutely sure you're not talking about the damage you eat when hit during parry?

Because that annoys the hell out of me

I don't parry in ds2 because I'm not that good

I don't parry often

@Reprehensibletrash knuckle sandwiches, pretty much are fist to mouth contact.

Woah

this guy explaining what a knuckle sandwich is as if its a term that was just invented

Dude, there's a shield you need to try, then

in ds2 I tried it once but they changed the animation so you have to wait a few seconds before attacking and it annoys the shit out of me

And a particular type of enemy

@TEABAG!!! "LOL", is when you, figuratively or literally, "laugh-out-loud" which is what it stands for

Wait we have a boomer in chat?

The halberd wielding hollows, they're parry practice

@Bastard it's a literal thing and women shouldn't ask neighbours to turn the music down. Its just asking for trouble.

Yeah like the spear guys in undead burg in ds1? @Reprehensibletrash

Basically

What kind of weapon is it @Reprehensibletrash?

Halberds

Because if you have to change your stance then you can do that quicker than blocking.

Btw, angle in ds2 means a lot

An attack to your left is easier to parry left handed

Then change your angle and then switch from left to right and that would be your block mechanism covered.

A left handed player might fuck your shit up, because of this. You'd have to get a rapier, or parrying weapon in the right hand

You see change your stance .... Its better that way to counter measure.

You have to learn to play both poles.

You can, but I find some of the less known mechanics to be better relied on. Like, agility

105 agl, and you can backstep cancel

Let's say, backstepcancel-weaponswitch

I played a lot of the following : league of legends, soul calibre , Tekken , and even Street fighter. But the best one for the rest is Skyrim because you could change the stance and learn to do both.

So your weapon instantly changes to another, without the animation

Bit of a geek, who complains about neighbours partying til 06:30 am .

God I hate autocorrect

@Reprehensibletrash that's pretty cool.

Ye, there's a setup I'm totally willing to give away. Love to see more of it

Heide knight sword/puzzling stone

@Bastard knuckle sandwich doesn't have a whole figure of speech cover to it. Its the type of terminology, you use for being turned into mush.

They have very similar stat scaling, and movesets. However, switching from the stone to heide, would be instant, and you could immediately run-attack

@Bastard what time zone are you in?

In the case of the heide knight sword, this does an axe run attack, which has retarded tracking, and aiming
