[SaraZef]

[SaraZef]

[iTsLongshot]

Canadian lottery winner,

Fucking pointless.

[benblitzkrieg]

i'd rather get backstabbed than have my kick riposte. I LOVE MY BALLS MAN

[AntisocialProductios]

did you know its possible to parry a shield bash? I didn't until a skeleton did it to me...

[Taifujiwara]

you died didnt you..

[jblackmel]

I "get off" everytime I hear that tone made after a successful parry...lol!

[pulpfictional90]

22256068 FUCKING SOULS?????

[muted883]

@damainmg I put on the hornet ring and my charecter does not slam the enemy down it just does more damage

[iTsLongshot]

@muted883 It depends if you are fighting another human or what weapon you use.

[penof1337]

I'm happy to now have an idea of how to parry damn washing poll spammers.

[trkz376]

how do u fireball cancel?

[damainmg]

I wanna see a video, parrying a Murakumo, I've never parried that damn sword =(

Nice vid byb the way xD Lol at the ending with the Dance

Psn: WerilloRulz

[X4Valor]

Also noting, people using curved swords are extremely easy to parry, seeing as how they're meant for raw damage and not backstabs, just wait for them to run towards you, and parry.

[Lifeless9619]

god damn youtubers with a good sense of humor, now i have to subscribe again >.>

[tijms1234]

Hey mate, you can parry jump attacks. I just parried some guy in PvP who did a jump attack on me with his BK Halberd and I timed it correctly and i parried with reposte. Reply man :D.

[PhantomEWGF]

@tijms1234 That was probably the 2h R2. It has a jump animation, but it's not a jump attack.

[weeniehuttjr]

At 4:04 how is his counter like that? when i counter with claymore it kicks the enemy off the blade instead of slamming to the ground. Please Help :I

[damainmg]

@weeniehuttjr He put hornet ring with hornet ring you slam the enemy in the ground without it only hit his stomach

[bottleheadlol]

Constantly lagstabbing an enemy and blaming it on the netcode? yeah sure.

[SuperFrost811]

Excuse me, If Dark Souls get onto the Pc I might purchase it, could you please tell me what build you use? For future reference?

[MrSalmon88]

@SuperFrost811 the build he has in this video just looks like a heavy vit and end build. playthrough it just have fun and i personally would recommend not using a walkthrough. Then after that you will have an idea of what build you would want for pvp.

[PhantomEWGF]

@MrSalmon88 It's 2 builds actually. One is 28 Endurance, 50 Vitality SL 70... and one is 40 Strength/22 Dexterity/40 Endurance/50 Vitality at 125-ish.

[kohle36]

@PhantomEWGF Thanks for the vid. I've been wondering about SLs in pvp, I think (correct me if I'm wrong) most people are pvp-ing in DkS at around 120, so are you building up your SL 70 character or is there another layer forming at lower levels? Actually I'm not really sure how invasion/covenant SL matchups work in DkS compared to DS, does anyone know where to find some reliable info on this?

[kohle36]

@PhantomEWGF Also I'm kind of curious about the SL 120 thing. Is it just a direct crossover from DS? I always figured it was like that to showcase different 'class' roles, loadouts and strategies without having everyone with the same insane stats, but looking at DkS it seems the requirements for everything are just higher. I've been hearing (don't know if it's true) that at 120, Vit/End builds with lightning/chaos weapons destroy most everything else

[kohle36]

@PhantomEWGF So I was thinking, has the pvp community (sorry, I don't know what else to call it) considered trying out a higher level cap? I'm just pulling numbers here, but say at 160, you might enable some better stat scaling and higher level spells (i.e. different viable builds) while still having to make sacrifices in several stat categories (no uber-characters)? But I'm still pretty new to DkS and came to DS late. Not that good at pvp either, but it definitely draws me back to the game.

[MrSalmon88]

@PhantomEWGF yea i just wanted the person to get that copying your build from this vid would not make them parry like a boss. btw i dont think you mentioned it but im sl9 and have pulled this off with the gravelord sword. i parry and am able to switch too 2h getting the actual damage since i cant one hand the gravelord it does sometimes fail like switching weapons.

[iCheesey]

Lol I'm picturing someone parry the worm.

GET THAT THING OUTTA MY FACE *SMACK*

[MrNhansense]

@PhantomEWGF Don't you mean 28STR/50VIT?

[meisterkai]

You know what was 1000x worse than RAW-POOST? Rhyming "Katana" with "Banana".

[PhantomEWGF]

@meisterkai pfft. Basterd!

[moffetdamacy]

As seen on dark souls.



[IceDrake1337]

Just curious, but what build are you using for the scythe character? It looks like a ton of fun

[PhantomEWGF]

@IceDrake1337 just a junk elemental character. 28 End/50 Vit.

[MrNhansense]

You're not gonna cover parry shield and parry dagger?

[PhantomEWGF]

@MrNhansense video was basically at time capacity. There's also not much to cover: the leave an opponent rooted longer, and they have a longer active parry... but the time is tacked on the end, which is useless.

[jblackmel]

The ones who cry the most about lag are ususally the ones who lose a lot.

[brainwasher9876]

@jblackmel and some people actually do have terrible lag. Ever tried playing a shooter on a one bar?

[X4Valor]

@StarlessL5 Are you an idiot? lol

[StarlessL5]

can you parry projectiles

you did not cover this

i feel it is relevant

i want to parry magic missile

[xDeadMedic]

@StarlessL5

I've parried arrows when low levels have been trying to chip me in forest, but I think it only ever counts as a partial parry. Even with a perfect parry you'll still notice the tiniest chip of health disappear from the bar.

[brainwasher9876]

@xDeadMedic I've tested this myself. With an actual full parry you NEVER take any damage, even if you parried with your bare hands. Try looking at how much HP you have, do a parry, then check how much you have left.

[bottleheadlol]

Neat video, but it is not hard to win against 3 opponents if you lag like this.

[PhantomEWGF]

@bottleheadlol ahahaha... I don't lag, the game just has bad netcode. Stick to PvE! If I lagged... how could I constantly land parries?

[Jahames1]

its fully faith and prediction to successfully land a parry in pvp. Thanks your tips really helped me parry better now in pvp.

[evilagram]

Tip: Ghost Riposte rhymes.

[MrNhansense]

Dude look at your health bar. Is that a 99 VIT build?

[PhantomEWGF]

@MrNhansense 50 vit.

[chazzymoto]

and also the connection can screw with it but another most anoying thing is when i take damage and get staggered but parry them at the same time so i have to hope i have enough time to land my riposte after my stagger stops (i have 0 poise)..and a question i noticed alot of being using that dragon shield lately on the book of the guility but i dont get it it because it isnt very good jw wondering why i use dark hand anyway cause its just badass

[chazzymoto]

honestly there really isnt much more to parrying i have been doing it for almost 3 whole months now so id say i couldnt get any better at it but i use dark hand so i always go off of first swings and baits i never do the parry after it hits the shield because i cant cause i use dark hand but honestly if just do it alot you will get it after a while...another anoying thing is just lag really sometimes ill expect to get a parry but i wont just because everyone has diffrent connection

[PhantomEWGF]

@chazzymoto this is what I'm talking about... everyone says lag causes some variation on parries, but it really doesn't. Lag is not to blame. The game has stable netcode, There's just bad delays on everything, but you can "count on that delay". 9 times out of 10 when you miss a parry you think you should have gotten, it's because your positioning is bad... no one talks about this because they don't know.

[chazzymoto]

@PhantomEWGF thats not at all what i was getting at no offense..i have been parrying for 3 months and i always walk into them before i go for the riposte but just sometimes you wont be able to get the riposte and those same characters you can not Bstab either idk what causes this but its not positioning because thats never the problem because the characters i can riposte i cant Bstab either and i know this for a fact because i usualy only go for it when they are chugging flasks and wont get it

[PhantomEWGF]

@chazzymoto I've been parrying for over 2 years... no need to go comparing dick sizes here. In fact, it was me and VarietyX that brought it across the ocean in Demon's Souls

What you're talking about is some super-laggy people or you yourself have a bad connection if you can't BS people while they're flasking.

It's mostly stable, but delayed in my experience. Maybe I have an exceptional connection.

[sansviedotcom]

@PhantomEWGF I've been parrying since Third Strike. Well, What Is It™???

[chazzymoto]

@PhantomEWGF im saying i have been doing it in dark souls for that long im not trying to be a jerk here i love you videos im just throwing my input in because i have some knowledge on the topic and was saying things i have experienced..just like how i have taken damage and got stagged while they simultaneous got parryed and i still could riposte them at the last second..that is something else ive come across

[chazzymoto]

you can parry something that hits you...i use dark hand on a 0 poise build and ill take damage and get staggered at the same time as the get parryed and if i tap R1 i will riposte them once my stagger ends even tho i took damage

[SuperGuyincognito]

The last fight was hilarious.

I've had opponents fall through the ground as well. XD

[SuperGuyincognito]

It's not zwhyhandurr.

It's

tsfai-hand-ah B:< 

[PhantomEWGF]

@SuperGuyincognito IT'S ZWHYHANDER NOW.

[PlaceBotox]

@PhantomEWGF It's always been pronounced that way. most people derped during English class and didn't bother to their language.

[xWizzyyy]

@PhantomEWGF is there supposed to be a different way to pronounce zweihander? ei sounds like why in german.

[sirch9119]

@PhantomEWGF ROFL I must admit you make me laugh with your subtitles and your talking :P

Repawst, epic.

We need to pvp.

[sirch9119]

@PhantomEWGF lol sorry for double post but..Kat-ana's tee-hee

>:P

[shenzue]

To hell with how you pronounce Riposte I was more surprised by how you say Katana 6:04 Banana? As always a great video though :P

[PhantomEWGF]

@shenzue you need to listen again. I say it properly.

[shenzue]

@PhantomEWGF I meant absolutely no disrespect, nor was I implying that you actually said banana, more so just that you pronounced it kuh-tan-nuh (similar to buh-nan-nuh) I really do enjoy your videos and find them highly entertaining.

[gamers700]

@PhantomEWGF Nope, listened again, definitely not my audio, it's just wrong

[PhantomEWGF]

@gamers700 You might want to investigate "sarcasm" instead of caring about words not recognized by a spell check. Ahahahaha.

[gamers700]

@PhantomEWGF Oh boy, someone isn't happy people are talking about his pronounciation

[DW461]

@PhantomEWGF Hm, off topic question:

Any reason why you set your blood to black ("Mild") instead of On or Off?

I've noticed that the slowdown caused by blood effects can give your opponent extra time to roll out of a followup or chain BS. Does Mild cause less slowdown, or is it just personal taste?

[ShogunGorilla]

One thing about the vids. That text is shitty to read. The black with white outline for the steps. Other then that sick vid as usual. If you want some graphics I could probably do some for you.

[Uroboro15]

I think i'll be saying Zwhyhander from now on.

[Hellmasker338]

Thanks for pawsting this video!

[lamenotcool]

i got parried by a darkmoon-bladed claw. 's not funny.

[PSNTheWinged]

oh i blind parry :3

[PSNTheWinged]

i parry all the time lol ^^ its funny seeing all the tricks ive used for a very long time being eplained back to me. I <3 Parry™

[SeikenZ]

Nice vid, great finale as well. Good job!

[ricecakejohnson]

Everytime I watch any of EWGF's vids, its always makes me feel like I such a noobie. Anyways, like always, great vid and very informative. If I get parried tonight during a Duel, it will be all EWGF's fault :)

[basskick10]

Ree-Paaaaahhst

[123kant1]

lol french friends like asagoe. i play with him still demon souls.

[DropHydroSkirmish]

Great video, I really like the analysis you put on the different options for parrying, as well as the clips.

I just wanted to ask, how many pvp characters do you have for Kiln dueling?

[NCRZombie]

I can't imagine how those players must feel after you switch to a fist weapon to riposte in the middle of a duel. I know I'd be worried about that being the end of the duel then all of a sudden I get hit unarmed... I think I'd just log off and go cry in a corner.

[PhantomEWGF]

@NCRZombie I get destroyed all the time doing this nonsense.

[DW461]

I find that parrying large weapons is easy, especially greatswords and axes. Just parry when you see them lock their elbow right before the swing. Works about 90% of the time.

[vedasisme]

Thank you for this video, it was very informative! And also you're not the first person to pronounce riposte that way, haha.

[OlgaFlow]

End song made the video, dude.



[5150JamesA]

I dont get it? Isnt that how its pronounced...I say it the same way. I think everyone else is wrong.

[DW461]

@5150JamesA Ri-post

[5150JamesA]

Great vid! Thanks!

[MarkR4022]

ok that song was pretty funny

[drago1uk2000]

Thats how I pronounce riposte, brofist!

[nickthebishop]

Great video, thanks!

[erkchoi0]

Hey, I've been looking everywhere but can't seem to find it. How do you pivot cancel your spells? Do you just pivot really quickly?

[drago1uk2000]

@erkchoi0 Sprint then quickly press the opposite direction on your controller

[PhantomEWGF]

@drago1uk2000 You don't have to sprint. Just walking will do as you can see in the vid.

[sansviedotcom]

TYPICAL HAVELS / FATHER MASK USER IN THAT DUEL. Also tanking parry is the best method. Get 200 poise, spam parry, buy 28.8k modem. I'm glad I've been using rolling 2h R1 attacks with clubs pretty often. Probably easy enough to parry if the club comes down on you, but no one is parrying the invisible 2 metre hitbox that smough's hammer produces.

[PhantomEWGF]

@sansviedotcom if you weren't so sexy I'd punch you in the ovaries.

[assassin0alrass]

Honor dual is fucking hilarious

[jblackmel]

There is a video titled "Dark Souls: Parry the world." The guy, I believe his/her name is "PeevePeeverson," seems to be a MASTER at the parry technique.

[PhantomEWGF]

@jblackmel I watched that video... it's literally 2 parried: Setup on a BKaxe, and Setup on a Claymore. Two very easy parries, and the easiest technique. The information is kind of faulty too... he suggest parrying ".05 seconds before", which is random and other weird stuff. Still a decent video though.

[PhantomEWGF]

@OsciIet Crazy talk Oscar.

[OsciIet]

@PhantomEWGF But my name ain't Oscar! D:

[OsciIet]

@PhantomEWGF Anytime a video's audio is music-only and the word "montage" is in the title... well, usually I find that it shouldn't be particularly trusted.

[Yerendae]

Dude, you're great. I wish I could duel you a few times for fun (and lose 9/10 heh). Also, kudos to you for the great instructional videos.

[SoulxDxOut]

Do target shield or parry dagger make any difference in parry windows?

[PhantomEWGF]

@SoulxDxOut Yes. Longer active parries. We're talking very small fractional differences. For spamming they're alightly better.. but the difference is so small that most sensible people cant tell the difference.

[liversusil]

the beginning made me LOL
