No, he jumps to you to try to stop you from leaving with his sister's apparel which you stole. Also he has to have his arm released from his ribcage to even do that, and it's locked there at the beginning of a fight, so you have to put him in the condition to be cheesed in the first place.

      To be fair, I don't think this is RT's first run at DS, and plenty of souls fans do wildly gamebreaking runs like this. I think the issue most people have is that trying to perform a gamebreaking run on your first try, you know, might not be the ideal introduction to a soulsborne game.

    The funniest part about CD's "cheese" strat is that, by all accounts, that is the INTENDED method the designers put in to beat him. The fight in itself is so bonkers, even compared to Bed of Chaos, that the instakill method is about as telegraphed as possible. Honestly if there was an option to run from bosses rather than only fighting them, the tactic might come more naturally.

      In my experience the DS veterans only backseat people to go the "optimal" route, rather than intended direction of progress. Master key, early upgrades, avoiding the catacombs until you're way overleveled, etc. Honestly I think that's part of the reason Pinwheel has a reputation as a meme boss (some of it is deserved), because the Catacombs are meant to be tackled way earlier with a much weaker weapon but veterans avoid it because there's no reason to go there until you have the Lordvessel.

    This video came at a perfect time for me, because I _just_ started a Castlevania run (whips, knives and bombs only) yesterday. I even had to do a cannonball run through Blighttown as well, because that's the earliest you can get the whip.

    Gonna be honest, within the whole vod, it’s a lot more impressive. He doesn’t really die all that much I don’t think.

    It's just so cool when you realize RT basicly is playing CO-OP with one of his fans, and that person's day is probably doing great thanks to him

    I think the reason dark souls and its sequels/spiritual sequels became so popular in the first place and are still incredible to this day is because you're allowed to do things like this. not only is it a completely valid option, but the game doesn't baby you and try to hand-hold you out of areas with pop-ups or NPC's telling you "No, you shouldn't be here yet, play around in the low level areas little one :) ," you just do whatever you damn please. To quote Justin McElroy from the new Elden Ring Monster Factory "take the child locks off, and let me do my man business!"
