I have my friend who goes to a shooting range.

Go right ahead tiger! But you better be hungry for a knuckle sandwich!!

the mental image for a knuckle sandwich is awful

I haven't ever tried it personally, but I've never used a shield myself

I may take that up as a hobby and figure out how to get maximum pleasure from it.

well borrow a gun and just start shooting and in a matter of no time the party will be over

Only in games have I used one. Kinda hate them

I'm going to record some of my shitty gameplay of ds2 and try to find a clip where I get hit through the shield

See that's what I thought, I'm telling you shields in ds2 are broken

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
