Knight Zanir darksouls Pvp really is fucking trash I hope the fix it in the demon souls remake but I have absolutely 0 faith. It’s actually really unfuvking acceptable, they’re multimillion dollar company and the pvp shouldn’t be so fucking buggy it’s actually ridiculous. The only good pvp was darksouls 2 the only decent pvp was when miyazaki wasn’t involved. Magic was actually semi viable in pvp when they made spell castings speed a stat making spell combination a real strategy
@@mightytaco123 lol pvp is far from trash. there's a reason why tens of thousands of people still play it and activity level is pretty insane considering this is a 5 year old game. If you have decent enough internet everything works just fine. I've personally never experienced anything I would describe as "buggy". sure you will occasionally experience some minor lags and there are players who love to exploit certain glitches but nothing is game breaking. don't blame the game for losing or having bad internet connection.
Already know about something? Here you go! 0:05 1. Hyper armor 1:16 2. Pivoting is dangerous 2:16 3. Jump attack into R1 2:44 4. Jump attack sparingly 3:31 5. R1 chain into weapon art 4:15 6. Roll punishes are possible
A cool technique that I haven't seen anyone mention is the ability to 'store' a running attack by holding block while running and then stopping. E.g. run towards your target while holding block and then stop moving completely while still holding block to store up the attack (if you move or let go of block you lose thestored running attack), then press R1 whenever you want and your running attack will come out. I've used this a few times to bait out parries from people and then punish with the delayed move.
And rule zero, which applies to me, is have a computer that isn't so shitty that it instantly boots you to the start menu with framerate unsuitable for online play. Grumble grumble.
Another useful mechanic is that rolling R2s are the second normal R2. For example you can get the weapon art buff second R2, which has a different animation, without doing the first attack.
I really enjoy your commentary, so IMO don't be afraid to explain something in your own words just because you think someone else has already covered it
Tip, if you see a new weapon, watch for what it does first, currently flawless win streak due to a mix of the nameless kings boss weapon(his actual weapon) art doing a good half health damage to most enemy's, then hitting them with its range
AFAIK the pivot animation has always been there, but it might not have been there in Dark Souls 2. It's more obvious now since you can run in any direction whilst locked on, but the counter is still the same. If you don't want to get stuck in that animation, you have to actually turn your guy around rather than just pull back on the stick.
My biggest tip is to learn weapon ranges. It makes free hits on the enemy much easier when you learn the range on popular weapons. If they use an attack while you are directly out of this range the punish is easy. Although beware of phantom range.
The jump attack into R1 = roll attack is useful, but I think jump attack into R2 is better. It'll do your rolling strong attack, which can be charged. Very useful against parry spammers.
+Raiden777ify Parrying dagger has a faster and longer parrying animation, and more forgiving. It also uses less stamina but in general , use a shield, just because everyone runs Ultra Greatswords and weapons that can't be parried.
I still think and will always think you should be able to be stunlocked by swinging a large weapon if you get hit. I mean you can be stunlocked swinging a dagger, why not a huge axe?
Riley Gallagher Maybe on the first swing but if you get hit during first swing, should not be able to continue on to 2nd and 3rd swing. You're basically immune to any stun swinging a big weapon.
@@notgray88 >20 hours Casul smh I've played 300+ hours. Phantom hits are the cause of lag. You're a few miliseconds behind on the opponents screen, same goes for him. When you get hit from a distance where you shouldn't have, it's because on their screen you were in distance when hit.
the jump into R1 doesn't seem to work with some spears, I just do a normal R1 rather than rolling with some of them, and I do have enough stamina after the jump attack.
very nice tips man thanks!. I knew the ravioli step was dead the moment I turned the game on but I did not think about the long recovery from the pivot itself in PvP...good to know, I will have to work on my habits since I kept doing this in DkS2 and ravioli stepped a lot in BB as well...ah well...let's adapt.
Hey, Scott, thanks for the vid! BTW I got a question about counter-hit mechanics. Do they apply only for thrust attack type weapons like it was in DkS1 or it works with all weapons and every weapon category mostly have the same for it's class counter-hit multiplier like in DkS2?
i just assumed this from playing ds2 since big weapons got double poise during certain attacks for certain frames, pivoting happened if you tried to sprint backwards while locked on, you'll just spin in place for half a second and get hit, didnt know about attack into rolling attack, but jumping attacks got severely nerfed, they have little tracking, no distance and is shit damage on most weapons, but its more damage in pve than a drop attack, also you could usually r1 into powerstance l1 with alot of combinations like ultra greatswords, straight swords/greatswords, the r1 l1 is a bit bs on ultra because its like 40% damage with no risk like a regular l1
can anyone explain a question about weapon damage scaling? I have looked for info about this, but cant find any. When a weapon says it does 105 +25 (or something similar) does that mean that its total damage is 130 or its damage is 105 and 25 of it is from scaling? I don't see the advantage of using raw gems for infusions because if you look at a raw infusion, it will say 105 +25 => 130 which would be no improvement if the scaling is in fact the addition of the two numbers.
+ericsbuds 105 for damage of the weapon and 25 for scaling. Usually the raw infusion is only good at the beggining of the game, when you don't have much stats yet.
+Terminal Meowmaritus ah, some hyper armour better than none, I liked the move set of the CGS so I was curious to see if it had it, cause it would make them all the more better
I have two questions 1) Why all the people use this shield? It isn't the one with less weight in the game or with greatest defense so, does it have better parry frames than others? 2)Is it usefull to playing unlocked like it was in ds2? Becuase I still do that but it seems way less helpfull than before
I suppose I need to practice roll punishing more. I thought they were completely gone. Do you have any additional advice for getting the timing down? I can't seem to do it with the Greataxe. Also, have you had much success with punishing estus during invasions? I'm been trying really hard to do this without much luck.
Is there some set level for pvp? I saw some pvp builds for like level 100+ and some on under 100 on the wiki. How does the level system work in DS3 PvP?
Do you know a good sword comparable to the longsword (looks and attack animation wise)? I really like the speed and clean look of it but it would be nice to have something more unique.
What would u suggest to use as weapons in PvP? I basically run a 90% str dex 10% pyromancy (mostly flame sword or some simple range spells to space). I sometimes use the ferron-Sword (kinda as surprise weapon to switch in), and I really like to parry. What weapons would u say are good for me atm? Tyvm in advance
+Allisrem your build is so goddamn powerful and easy to use that you could use anything you want.... fucking "quality" the term makes me sick to my stomach. Casuls.
Every time I get close to killing someone, they roll away and chug an estus before I can move again. This lasts the entire fight until I get whittled down and die. Plus, every time I try to use the Undead Hunter Charm I miss. Help? Also, is the branding iron a possible help for this?
+ebiru2387 This is a really late reply so I'm not sure if you already know this or not but it's not a case of the hitboxes being bigger. It's just down to the latency/netcode not updating things like player locations as often as what would be ideal
So when i get this game im going to have to remember to press the roll button BEFORE i press the stick back to roll away so that i avoid the pivot? Great.
So, I've just tried the arena and I cannot play to save my life. I'm using the crystal rapier and my weapon art only ever seems to hit once with one of the weak hits, and my other weapon art gets me killed! If they R1 during my bounceback (out of roll) spastic animation, it doesn't matter that I'm out of range, I will get hit. If for some reason they don't mash R1, then I plunge into them and my rapier seems to go to the hilt in their character model, but the attack isn't registered. And they kill me in 4 hits, and systematically stun lock me for two hits on R1. I kill them in 10 hits, and can't seem to be able to stun them. What am I doing wrong? What is going on? This is insane! My build can't be this bad. It was doing fine in PVE
doing fine in pve is completely different in pvp bruh. i know its been 2 months and hopefully you've learned a bit more. also check out the latest weapons tier list. if you aren't comfortable with pvp in general you could always start out with a more forgiving meta weapon. your crystal sage rapier should not be so bad. i've also used it for a bit. i dont really use rapiers much except for maybe a few days but i know you can apply pressure with these smaller weapons as its quick and recovers quick. you have no hyper armor so you cant trade with people. you have to use the speed to get in and get out.
I always try make these unique builds and I get so angry at dying to Katanas aand straight swords and triple buffers and all this. Right now I'm doing a mostly-miracle build. Sunlight Talisman in off-hand for weapon art, Yorshka Chime in main hand for damage. Great Lightning Spear, Lightning Stake, Lightning Storm. Problem is, landing a stake or especially a storm WILL get you hit, and since I have 7 VIT and like 25 Vigor, I'll take just as much if not more damage from them hitting me than my full damage storm with Morne's and Sun's first born rings, and 50 faith. I guess I just need to decide on where my attunement needs to be and pump everything else into Vigor, but it's frustrating. Good luck landing a miracle on a rolling, run-attacking katana user.
Tracker947 Thanks, I use twin sellsword blades so I don't have range. Best I can hope for is punishing. My damage is pretty high with the lightning blade buff, so it's not like I'm take off bits, an L1 usually does around 300 damage.
+LaiN900 Here's how poise works in Dark Souls 3: When you have 15 poise, you'll be able to poise through attacks in the vulnerable frames of rolls. 15 for light weapons, 20 for 1-h halberds/greatswords, 25 for 2-h halberds/greatswords, 30 for 1-h greatweapons and 2-h 35 for greatweapons.
man i'm at level 70 took did pvp yesterday took on like 10 guys in a row and lost all of the matches....its totally laggy. I mean I get hit when i'm not even close to my opponent. Its freaking weird. I live in canada with a 150 mbsp download speed and yet its still laggy. one guy kicked and stunned me when he wasn't even near me...I just don't get it. When playing the computer its no problem they have to be near you to hit you but with pvp is great idea but because of this laggy issue I almost don't want to try it anymore. I've been playing dark souls for almost a month now and never played the older version so I'm not sure if that was the issue in the first place. Anyway, if anyone has any tips on how to perform better in these fights I would appreciate it. the most success i've had has been not rolling around too much and just going for a 1 or 2 kit combo and keeping my distance so the few that i've won i actually hit just fought him for 15 min because neither one of us were ready to commit. Also i need to join these fight clubs i guess and just keep losing until i learn how to fight better. Another question is...using a keyboard and mouse will that make you more effective because i use a wireless xbox 360 controller. Thanks guys. I'm an older guy in my mid 40 getting back into gaming and i haven't been doing it since intellivision LOL, so yeah i'm that old :)
Yeah if you have 150 big M that must be a corporate connection and even so you're in Canada. Physically far away from -most- players. That's how the internet works. Has nothing to do with your download speed.
+Valhiir The regular r2 on the bkga is an attack in which you jump, but its not a legit jumping atk. Jumping atks can not be parried, and are activated by either running and hitting r2 or moving left stick forward and hitting r2.
My friend helps me with pvp which has helped me soooo much since I joined in with dark souls 3 I learned how poise works and parry so if you need help (on PS4) gm is Littlemoei4ni also known as Son of Artoris! P.s Praise The Sun! \[T]/
1: your character is always one step behind where you think he is
2: all weapons have extended range than what you think it is. Except yours.
This is true, and it makes me sad.

He did a good job at explaining it lol
brycen fields yub,, I got it after some trials ,,
Storing is 'buffering' it is usually used as a fighting game term for exactly what you are describing.
does this still works now?
"Unless I die, which would be kinda bad I guess." I laughed way too much at this :P
'I am bad at outros'
And rule zero, which applies to me, is have a computer that isn't so shitty that it instantly boots you to the start menu with framerate unsuitable for online play. Grumble grumble.
Something that helped for me was lowering the resolution from 1080p to 720p. It's still not great but I haven't been low-FPS booted since changing it.
Did anyone else just get really satisfied at the fact that with that first Solaire guy, he did EXACTLY 500 damage on both hits?
yes
So the pivoting is basically a DnD attack of opportunity
+DroiteSorel I was thinkin the same thing lmao.
Does that mean R1 spam is a full attack action?
Another useful mechanic is that rolling R2s are the second normal R2. For example you can get the weapon art buff second R2, which has a different animation, without doing the first attack.

By the way, heavy weapons help you bypass the pivot, and you can ravioli step out of sprint with them. Just a tip for you guys.
I really need to catch a stream, this looks like a blast
this helped me improve a lot, thanks for the tips! See you in PVP!
Doesn't change the fact that I'm shit at it tho....
Thanks! Don't die! I hear it's bad for your health.
I'm absolutely loving this game's pvp. hyper armor makes huge slow weapons so fun; it's also great for ganks.
Always sprint while not having lock-on to avoid the pivot skid animation, for the most part at least. Works for me.
Pvp makes me anxious in this game, my heart starts beating faster and my hands starts shaking.
What are your stats on the character you used? Tbanks
AFAIK the pivot animation has always been there, but it might not have been there in Dark Souls 2.

Parry. Parry forever.
+Jaxson Lahr That's a lot easier said than done, especially with latency. Out ranging them or punishing spacing if they get aggressive are safer.

You can also do 1h jump attack into R2. Great video, thanks!
Is it better to play with KB+M or controller?
Do any stats help with parrying
+Ryan Thomas Nope
Do we know how poise works?
It doesn't
+LaiN900 Here's how poise works in Dark Souls 3: When you have 15 poise, you'll be able to poise through attacks in the vulnerable frames of rolls. 15 for light weapons, 20 for 1-h halberds/greatswords, 25 for 2-h halberds/greatswords, 30 for 1-h greatweapons and 2-h 35 for greatweapons.
EliteAssass1n thanks dude
pivoting in dark souls three is what prat falls were in smash
man i'm at level 70 took did pvp yesterday took on like 10 guys in a row and lost all of the matches....its totally laggy. I mean I get hit when i'm not even close to my opponent. Its freaking weird. I live in canada with a 150 mbsp download speed and yet its still laggy. one guy kicked and stunned me when he wasn't even near me...I just don't get it. When playing the computer its no problem they have to be near you to hit you but with pvp is great idea but because of this laggy issue I almost don't want to try it anymore. I've been playing dark souls for almost a month now and never played the older version so I'm not sure if that was the issue in the first place. Anyway, if anyone has any tips on how to perform better in these fights I would appreciate it. the most success i've had has been not rolling around too much and just going for a 1 or 2 kit combo and keeping my distance so the few that i've won i actually hit just fought him for 15 min because neither one of us were ready to commit. Also i need to join these fight clubs i guess and just keep losing until i learn how to fight better. Another question is...using a keyboard and mouse will that make you more effective because i use a wireless xbox 360 controller. Thanks guys. I'm an older guy in my mid 40 getting back into gaming and i haven't been doing it since intellivision LOL, so yeah i'm that old :)
I had the same problem with lag but i fixed it by disconnecting my phone and ipad from the internet so only my pc is connected
Yeah if you have 150 big M that must be a corporate connection and even so you're in Canada. Physically far away from -most- players. That's how the internet works. Has nothing to do with your download speed.
How do i start playing these 1v1s ?
I don't know how to get all those summon signs
what is that place?
Very helpful. Thanks
Whats your build for pvp?
Does anyone know what weapon he was using?
Black knight greataxe and gotthard twinswords
Black Knight Greataxe
Wecros I already replied with both... why would you need to reply eight days later?
Dylan_ Smit There was no answer at my screen. Porbably a bug.
'i don't want to make redundant videos' OOCCELLOOTTT
You can actually parry a jump attack as I was able to parry a jump attack from a black night Axe
+Valhiir The regular r2 on the bkga is an attack in which you jump, but its not a legit jumping atk. Jumping atks can not be parried, and are activated by either running and hitting r2 or moving left stick forward and hitting r2.
ah ok thanks for clarifying
np :)
Do a second video! I learned alot.
What I got out of this video: "I can tell you some more tips but I don't want to"
Turnrate wasn't this impactful in the previous games? Turn rate is awesome, love that it's quite pronounced in this game
The outro was good.
Gundyr's halberd FTW
PvP tip #1: Fuck PvP it's been 2 years and this shits still FUCKING BROKEN
When you summon 10 dark spirits after Pontiff and not die, let alone take much damage.
Thanks for this.
I was hoping to see the last things u mentioned not doing, parry mechanics... Nice vid tho, thanks
My friend helps me with pvp which has helped me soooo much since I joined in with dark souls 3 I learned how poise works and parry so if you need help (on PS4) gm is Littlemoei4ni also known as Son of Artoris!
P.s Praise The Sun! \[T]/
lmao i love your shit, man. Keep it up.
I suck at pvp, pve I'm fine and I can breeze through it, annoys me so much
Yo this dude sounds like micheal cera
Any decent players still pvp in ds3??
that outro, what a downer
1st rule: point down as much as u can
Why do the weapon arts mostly suck
