So when they're spinning around like tops, what are they doing? Just quickly throwing their mouse in once direction? Is the best way to counter it a maul to the head? I'm not terribly amazing at the game but generally hold my own, but still have trouble really getting it through my head whats going on at those moments.

What I think they're doing is continuing their swing through so that when the swing again they're facing you in the direction of their next swing. Thing is I really have no idea what the gently caress they're doing. My strategy is basically just back up, back up, parry. Swing, parry, swing. I also generally have been playing a messer knight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soNwTt_cycY Blimpkin fucked around with this message at 14:34 on Jun 2, 2015 |

I saw some vanguard with a claymore or something doing spin last night and I got lucky on one shot. I was able to time running in with an overhead strike and just flatten him. Still the only thing I have issues with because some how they do just as much damage with the sword behind them as it would in front so who knows. I've fallen in love with the Maul. Hit me up sometime if you want to be a knight of old together.

I use the tower shield sometimes because I figure it has better coverage and less stagger, but I don't really know much about the shield mechanics as I don't use them terribly often. e: I do like to shield up and dance around blocking my teammates from view when the enemy team has a ton of archers on its fortifications, though.

The best tactic is to keep your distance, wait for them to make a move and then swoop in when they're recovering. Back away again if you miss, don't let them bait you into following them. e: Mans I didn't know you played this, you should play TO with me on one of the Euro servers sometime Phlegmish fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Jun 2, 2015 |

Set my name back to cliffdiver after last night but I guess I'll keep it Paul Blart Maul Cop for a while so people can find me. I'm just very self-conscious about my online gaming image and I don't want my four other Steam friends to judge me.

Lots of hackusations flying around these days though, I was accused of hacking/cheating two times today. Good thing that I don't give a gently caress since I can just maul their heads in and laugh at their whining.

I just had someone call me a dirty Jew hacker after beating him in a duel server. I chopped him up real fast with a man-at-arms. That was nice. I don't even think I'm all that good at this game either, considering how high my rank is. I just hit rank 41, and I constantly struggle against people around the same rank as me, especially at duels. On duel servers I routinely get stomped by people half my rank. I'm just not that fast at blocking and reading their moves. The combat system in this game is just so clunky and awkward sometimes. Unless you spend like 200 hours on it, it just feels like awkward flailing about. I mostly just like to run around stabbing people in the back and setting them on fire in team objective while spamming the laugh command and going HURRRGLEBURGLEBLRRRR. I was getting a bit bored with that though so I started practicing with those stupid twirly, glitchy moves that all those high level competitive players do. Some of those twirly moves you can make are kinda neat though IMO. Like the jumping spin this guy does at 8:50: Watch it at 0.25 speed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAlhHaEpWV8&t=530s Those 'rainbow' reverse overhead things are so freaking stupid though. The high level fights in this game can look so weird when both players are abusing those moves all the time. I've been watching this guy's videos for a little while, and he does it a lot. You turn around, look up (or crouch) and do an overhead while the other guy is behind you so he gets hit with the very first frame of the attack animation. It's not so bad when you accelerate a hit with a regular slash, but that reverse overhead looks so dumb. In this video he keeps fighting 'THe 1 fatguy' who abuses that move constantly. Just look at how stupid these duels look. I fought that same guy on that same server a little while ago and he was really difficult to kill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENsvmluec64&t=227s It's stupid as hell but it does take practice to get those moves right. I admit that I was trying to abuse them myself in team objective mode earlier, to varying degrees of success. It can be really funny sometimes when you are holding off 3 or 4 guys at once by twirling around like an idiot. Ivan Shitskin fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Jun 7, 2015 |

The free weekend was, as usual, glorious. Getting attacked by three guys at once and coming out on top thanks to just plain old parrying and footwork felt soooo loving good. A triple kill with a Zweihander vanguard charge felt pretty good too.

Also, if you guys want to see some actual duels without stupid spinning, I would recommend SnS channel (no longer updating though). It was ran by Shard and Sophax, both "competitive" (as competitive as you can in Chiv really) players. Some also consider Sophax the best player in EU. And he doesn't spin. This is him acing 6 man kendo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmXfmRTzNVA

I smiled when I saw the earlier "Dank Duels" video feint to kill the limbo dancer  I'll check out the latest link later.I haven't played this in ages, I never hit much better than "a bit above average", but I could never get mad at people feinting me. Likely for the reason so many people flip their poo poo about it. Because when you die to a feint, you think "Oh whoops, I died because I was a dumbass". Which of course is just unacceptable to pro MLG contortionists, it CAN'T be their fault!

Handle hits were hitting people literally as soon as the damage tracers start with polearms etc. since if you were facehugging, the handle was literally inside your opponent and the game used to draw damage tracers on the whole weapon model. They are long gone though so if someone is still crying about handlehits, he's just bad. In other news, dedicated good archer support is stupid strong.

I seriously love when I get screamed at for feints. It's like bitch please, you got out played and now my hammer is dirty. And when I get got by a feint you just have to accept you got out played. But yeah there are tons of raging tards in this game, but that's what makes it so fun. The only things that still irk me with this game are the random team switches. It always seems to choose me despite how much work I'm doing for my current team. Hey nice job getting the cart all the way up here and loving over the defense, now lead the defense. And getting caught on stray pieces of the level geometry. So frustrating. There are parts of the map where they could seriously just make them just cosmetic and help the flow, but I doubt anyone is really doing any sort of support aside from hats these days. Still hooked on this game. One day I'll have to try another weapon aside from the Maul. I've thought about archer but I'm so trash with it.

I remember a long time ago I would hop into duel servers occasionally and I played Knife Archer with the pointy stabby knife and I kept getting matched up against a dude with a warhammer that I dominated repeatedly and he constantly raged over his mic and called me a human being and a tryhard and a cheater, as if he wasn't using a weapon that would immediately pulverize me if I was maybe an inch closer than where I as standing while waiting for him to swing so I could run up, stab, and then run away Anyay he eventually started throwing himself into lava while at the same time calling me a baby and a coward and people like him are while I don't play Chivalry anymore, thank you for your time god bless

So the best strategy for dealing with a knife archer is to run away to other team mates, pull out your back up weapon, or just hope you can kill them before they land an attack? When I'm Maulin it's the only thing I have trouble dealing with.

I got chiv on kickstarter and have played it on and off ever since, it's one of my favorite games of all time. If you get a chance check out the Power Hour server, it's hour long FFA matches in small dueling maps.

Dagger reach is TINY, learn to matrix and you will be able to deal with all the pesky butterknife archers. If they suck. If you are facing veteran archer who actually knows what he is doing, cross your fingers, pray to Khorne or whatever you worship and hope for the best.

I more or less stopped playing the game ages ago because every server seemed to be dominated by vanguards either helicoptering around or doing overheads while staring at the ground. Maybe I'm just a casual scrub?

Gotta laugh about people who play this game though: hit crouch when the enemy attacks then strafe into their attack while looking up and drag against your overhead slice while contorting your body towards them. Don't feint though, that's stupid.
