Dark Souls 3 - Top Ten Skill Kills! (1)

[@praisethesunpvp]

Hell yes! Thanks SLB! I think a lot of people are gonna be salty about that clip, considering the recent buff on Onikiri and Ubadachi. This clip was pre patch, you can tell from the jump distance on the weapon art. In order for that kill to work the way it did, I had to have a height advantage over him (the stair I'm standing on) and his head had to be lowered (from the max range clip on the L1 beforehand). This was the reason the headset went through and worked the way it did, pre patch that weapon art was extremely situational. Would not have submitted that clip had I known they'd get buffed the way they did. Still super stoked I got in!

[@praisethesunpvp]

*headshot. Damn auto-correct.

[@richeastwood44]

What! They buffed the twin katanas?

[@pevlikpvp9228]

I saw your video maybe a month ago Praise, everybody who love katanas check my video and enjoy how Onikiri and Ubadachi work now :)

[@MegustaSkyrim]

Nice! Was hoping your clip would get chosen, keep making great videos!

[@gtrghost1290]

Congrats!

[@EasilyBoredGamer]

The most important thing to note about Praise's kill was, it was before onikiri and ubadachi's weapon art was buffed

[@SwagbitoUchiha]

Easily the best one in the list lol

[@saiyerdon6573]

I'm unfamiliar with the details, what was buffed about it?

[@Miazix]

To my understanding (which may be wrong never used the old wep art), you basically had to be on higher ground and have perfect spacing to confirm the double headshot like he did in the clip. The jump and the blades both can head shot. Now the range is much more forgiving and it seems like contact will cause the first headshot now. Again I could be mistaken, but Praise did upload two showcases for the weapon. One before the buff and one after. Check them out.

[@SwagbitoUchiha]

Miazix No, you got it right.

[@saiyerdon6573]

Miazix Gotcha, many thanks! I frankly learned the hard way through PvP in the meantime. That weapon is surely rising in the meta a LOT XD

[@rpkiller2489]

that back step backstab parry punish, i think was the best.

[@dumbfish97]

These fluctuated between being moderately impressive to 'oh shit that's insane!' The two people on one controller was the most impressive imo, the twin katana combo was the least (it's not that hard to own with them, an hour practice and you can do that type of combo on quite a few players)

[@jerec1267]

you know theres an entire lets play of DS1 doing the 2 players on the one controller thing.

[@KHRification]

That person only got on the list because he was PraiseTheSun (not hating or anything) kind of like youtuber privilege.

[@dumbfish97]

Jerec 12 I need to see that, didn't even know it was a thing!

[@andrewpowell3723]

Praise already mentioned this himself in the comment, but, to be fair, the combo he landed was done before the patch. Landing the weapon art prior the patch was more difficult.

[@EmberGyaru]

I really liked how you let the footage speak for itself, but then commented on the replay of it. That was great. These videos are likely mostly made for DS veterans that know what's going on, so it's fun to ooh and awe at it while it's happening without the immediate explanation (though I definitely enjoyed your previous vids too). And as for your personal time sink into the creation of these vids, we greatly appreciate it. "Very good"

[@ZephyrusAsmodeus]

Imagine watching this back to discover you were killed by two bros sharing the controls

[@TNastyD]

im glad i get to be one of the bros holding the controller haha. Idk what reminded me of it but i remembered this video and came to watch it again and this comment absolutely made my day. thanks man! hahaha

[@TNastyD]

HOLY SHIT WE MADE IT! I'm Marmalde's brother (#4) I had the left side to control and he had the right. We beat DkS1 including the DLC like this. We may upload the other ones (we are nervous about Bloodborne) Thanks Sunlightblade!

[@NoLuckJustSkill1337]

Tommy Dalo good Job you two:-)

[@ParagonDS]

Ey, they look great! T'was a pleasure helping you my man!

[@JACKETMANE]

Hey paragon, how you doing and cant wait for your next video

[@SunlightBlade]

Cheers for that mate! \[T]/

[@dudlecore7358]

love the vid bud, keep it up. high quality > high quantity!

[@BraidzMC]

+paragonDS +sunlightblade Do either of you guys need help with audio engineering (Mixing and mastering)?

[@BossDrSample]

Hi Jake! I made it into the countdown!

[@narwhalyucare682]

otherwise known as: ways to remind me how much i suck at dark souls 3

[@ShinteMekami]

I still think ur number 10 is the best one lol. For me of course. That was flawless

[@zachariahhoffmeister8715]

Definitely the best, well done!

[@TheAnimefan112]

That first guy called his character "JoJo" and then uses that cheap trick to try and get a kill? Disgracefull.

[@failedabortion1894]

It's his stand, 「WHITE PHANTOM」

[@zan-7282]

He's actually funny valentine Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap lmao

[@soulchewer]

NO DIGNITY

[@gdfkpmw1803]

But that’s basically Joseph.

[@user-xp9jo2rv3q]

Big big frog Anal Joseph survived 3 parts so he’s doing something right

[@ignaeon]

"without anything particularly overpowered" washing pole into weapon swap hornet ring. number ten deserved the number 3 spot. but the new number cards were awesome.

[@TsulaAngenati2292]

ignaeon yeah

[@IronTarkus876]

Number three didn't seem that skillful, just chug spam, while your #10 was a no damage gank spank...

[@hamzamohdy1995]

Kinda late but I personally wouldn't call them a gank per se

[@cherrycola4476]

Chug spam in a 2v1? Lol

[@darekkrakowski3336]

I wonder how many people sent to you dark sword/estoc clips

[@relovatergaming461]

LOL

[@Skygaze-3]

"It's a legitimate strategy!"

[@Mage-7734]

+Dragonheart - 333 "No...No, it's not..." It's funny but I've heard that line like five times since I've been playing PvP

[@malango255]

690. he just used the 10 clips which weren't estocs or dark swords basically.

[@kingvarus]

isn´t it?

[@TheSonicShoe]

well worth the wait dude. you definitely *have* stepped up your game. love the new transitions by the way.

[@SunlightBlade]

Been working on this all week, hope it's enjoyable & thanks to all 700+ people who submitted clips! keep praisin fellows \[T]/ *Edit - I haven't done a top ten in so long + I really felt pressured making this one for some reason, I think the next one will go a bit smoother for sure :) Thanks for watching!

[@drgattz4555]

\[T]/

[@jambeau59]

finally you brought them back thank you, and praisin is all I do

[@Tanto240]

Laying out those prism stones probably took you the most, huh?

[@strozee458]

+Hesky Beast Thats Just Unecessary And Mean.

[@burntman]

Im pretty sure you are going to put my 9 minute fight with peeve in your next video lol

[@alexanderpmarchione]

personally, I think 10 and 2 we're the most impressive.

[@supremeleaded3531]

Yeah I loved #10

[@alexanderpmarchione]

Eye Of Light Dude, you did awesome.

[@Weezarvil]

+Eye Of Light they are right! that was amazing.

[@ignaeon]

10 was crazy.

[@notthesoap6156]

Yeah that was Baller man, I had no clue that halberd was so good at catching back rolls.

[@loganwheeler1734]

Sunlight, I've watched your channel for a while, and you are becoming a much better editor with every new series. Take all the time you need man, I enjoy quality over quantity!

[@Kinohki]

Hey Sunlight. I watch the majority, if not all of your videos and rarely post. I just wanted to say thank you for providing the videos you do. I definitely like the newer style to where the videos speak for themselves. I'm not saying you don't have an awesome narration voice, that isn't the case at all, but I like seeing what happens in the video without the spoilers of the commentary. Props to you for taking the time to weed through all of that footage. That is absolutely insane the amount that you get and that you sort through and to do it all on your own is doubly impressive. Keep up the fantastic work, and as always, Praise the Sun!

[@emmettkogan8006]

You should do a top ten one shots episode, thanks for all the hard work too! I really love seeing your content in my subscriptions becausse it's very good, and there is great spacing between videos to keep me coming back for more!

[@mikekenny1698]

I think it's so great that you explained that at the end, some people don't realise the amount of time and effort that goes into videos, especially when you just post other people's content, mad props bro keep up the good content man :)

[@Karpata1]

2:45 I love how startled his opponent is after he hit a regular R1 for around 1000 damage ^^

[@BlackLegPrinc3]

Man I just love that you're still around Sunlight blade. Idk what I would do without your awesome dark souls top-tens. Thanks for sticking around a little longer.

[@TheBakedSnake]

I keep forgetting to submit one. Good show SlB! Glad to see my boy Praise got in.

[@TheBakedSnake]

Tarzan clip was awesome. Props to that guy

[@TheBakedSnake]

Also- I was watching it in 480 and the quality was outstanding. Keep it up man

[@arkanious7088]

+Baked Snake I was watching in 720p and I Felt like I was playing dark souls 3 lol

[@TheBakedSnake]

It was smooth

[@LS-fc7nx]

It's amazing how fast the brothers sharing the controller pulled of the gesture at the end

[@TNastyD]

Thank you!

[@tobipod399]

How was 5 not first?!?!?!? A super clean parry read into a beautiful stylish punish an absolute perfect back-step tech. Every part of it was beautiful. Holy shit. I was at a lost for words after seeing that clip. Good god!

[@visualcortex7500]

Tobi Pod Agree. That backstep trick is one of the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in Dark Souls.

[@RailingMedia]

Absolutely the best commentary i’ve heard for DS PvP

[@AllTheNamesIPickedWereTaken]

I think Praise The Sun's clip was one of the best since he did that combo pre-buff which was almost impossible so kudos to you

[@mrweatherby]

Damn dude, the amount of time it must take to go through all those clips and put something like this together is insane. I don't comment often on these, though I always give them a watch, but hats off to you for putting in so much of your time and effort. These are really great videos, and I think you're doing something awesome for the community behind these games.

[@IAmKnightsDawn]

I loved the prism stones to get the number transitions. Was fantastic. 10/10 SLB

[@polythreme]

honestly i really like your narration of the clips. you have a great voice and i feel like you add a lot of personality and charm to the videos

[@RePaperBag]

And I'm just sitting here waiting for the first DLC to come...

[@danrg26]

me too :( this game need a arena like in darksouls 1 dlc

[@pranaysingh6280]

+danrg26 it was pretty much dead even in the beginning....

[@danrg26]

+pranay singh I know but I like the concept

[@kroll1933]

+Knight Angel only because of the shitty servers, it'd be welcomed now

[@improviseddemise195]

bring back my good ol friend maldron but give him 15 estus and the HP of yhorm but no weapon to counter him >:)

[@pyjamakid3982]

i like how u dont clog the action with any Ego driven need to speak at every second like most other ppl who upload w/ commentary. You keep it simple and concise and let the content speak for itself. Good job with everything u put out , dont let the haters try to backseat drive you .

[@harryruffin1548]

4:40 this man not only killed the other guy, he killed his dark souls career.

[@jonesycat1337]

love the video. been a fan of the series for quite some time now. glad to see that the top 10 series is coming back. Congrats on all success, can't wait to see more

[@RAZBRY]

Fuarrrk yeah Praise mah man! Awesome work SB, so glad this is back! :D

[@tilmanr.3299]

Nice to see you making top ten videos again! Great job!

[@Boons___1]

I liked nr.10 the most. The fact that he noticed the white summon' shadow was impressive,I'd never catch that lol. I'd take it for some weird texture thing or w/e. Also,I gotta' say,the prism stones sure are a nice touch SLB!

[@mrbig2341]

The upload rate of this channel and the top tens is great! I love the anticipation the wait gives for the next great video!

[@merpiderp]

yay #praisegitgud! :D nice top ten list btw

[@TheBakedSnake]

lmao

[@bloodyn1ghtm3re10]

LOL XD #praisegitgud #makeamericagreatagain

[@ninjajake21]

lol I remember watching praise do that in his training room video, super cool he got I to the top 10 with it XD

[@st.christophorus]

no no no no you got it wrong #MakeUKGreatAgain #praisegitgud

[@talickk467]

Great Video. This is my favorite series on youtube and I feel you have improved it with your continued hard work. Thanks for all you do!

[@Gehab]

Is that some Assassin's Creed 2 soundtrack I hear underneath all that music when it goes between the different numbers? Like at 4:59?

[@treebeardoftheforest625]

Sunlightblade, these videos are amazing. The editing is not over the top and enjoyable. The clips are amazing and I always look out for the new top 10. Keep up the good work :D

[@Shougo_Murata]

Dude, take your time, we know that it is hard to make those videos. I like every video you make, you are really great.

[@figthegreat]

As always 10/10 sunlight. Very happy the top-ten is back. Thanks for the hard work dude

[@chickenbirdie1]

Praise The Sun, represent! :D

[@ryanodowd2516]

Sunlightblade you are by far my favorite ds3 channel and one of favorite channels period. You do a great job on your videos. They are very entertaining, informative, and useful. The editing is great and the flow is as well. Dont let debbie downers get you down ds brethren!!!!

[@tjames6996]

0:05 I can't take that emote seriously anymore after Edwad

[@hypnoticfart]

The new number transitions look so good! Loved the video, my dude

[@fantaman2471]

12 min , did you the you yt strick removed? if so congrats dude and thanks for the great content!

[@SunlightBlade]

No still got it unfortunately - I can't upload videos longer than 15 minutes. Below 15 minutes is fine

[@captainnoobface1124]

+SunlightBlade that's real shitty.

[@PATCHESZ9]

What happened?

[@fantaman2471]

damm

[@wanderingharlow6305]

Apparently he used a piece of music while talking over it for about 30 or 40 seconds, and the asshole company that owned the music didn't even bother with monetizing the video, they just straight up did a takedown strike.

[@KingofAwesomness14]

the brother sharing controller was easily number one, i mean they duoed that so well!

[@getupfast4993]

Jeez the #1 guy pulled off a Pickled Jalapeno

[@brankho]

The prism stones numbers were pretty cool. Your videos are great man, keep doing your thing :D

[@Yezvthefirst]

That dude plays dark souls claw style... What a man

[@rappercentral703]

Good job man no one should care about how many times you upload, your videos are top tier. I just dare all the people who question your uploads to put just as good videos together, everyday of the week.

[@TheFrodoBaggins33]

I love how number 8 was named "Derr Plant"

[@Froomies93]

Loved the video and don't worry about the time it takes you for the videos. Also I enjoyed the less commentary but at the same time I really missed your reaction commentary to things that were really cool or impressive in previous top 10. Either way you do you man, and keep up the great work!

[@rbyn4568]

eyyy it's back, thanks sunlight!

[@shaddykack]

Jeezus sunlight :) I had never really considered how much time and work you put into these videos, thanks so much for always uploading dude!

[@lollal3527]

"no skill ahead" words of the wise

[@infinitybelt]

I liked this new style, but I gotta say I love when you commentate the whole thing. As someone who is not very savvy with pvp, I liked having it all explained so I could appreciate the Brilliance of the clip. That bring said this is fine, just thought Id hive some feedback. Great video and I can't wait to see the next one.

[@shameershahid3586]

why isn't the three man army series continued? :( PlZ bring it back

[@iWillWakeYouUp]

I'm glad you're adressing the fact that videos take time and effort to make. You're not doing reactions, you're making good content.

[@jonathanisenhour7923]

Ive gtg with that Tarzan build, just for the simple fact that he parried by slapping lol

[@obt8285]

love the prism stones numbers sir. u really put alot of work into updating the series and it shows. well done

[@Genetics80]

#1's sword got longer with every riposte. (swapped to a larger one).

[@mardukq8]

What a great vid to start the top tens, loved every clip submitted, and hoping to make it to next one.

[@elijahmckenzie9207]

Do top 10 cosplays?

[@komreed]

I have never subbed a cosplay before but omg... The one I have (unreleased) is a doozie! XD

[@Rycluse]

Editing looks very slick in this video. I think this new style will be great for future videos.

[@ClampDemHams]

Are the lists strictly PVP now? Cause in the last skill kill list for DS2 there were a few PVE clips. In this game Yhorm is a great challenge with low levels runs, and the Nameless king is famous for being one of the hardest bosses in the whole series, and I know you must have gotten some clips like that, so I was just curious if lists were strictly PVP now

[@LiquidExodious]

Love to see your top 10s are back! you do them so well! keep it up!!

[@compoundluke4045]

Is the bloodborne top ten still on?

[@byrne8509]

Yes

[@cakeee5720]

Number 4 is the absolute definition of “Comradery”

[@choklatecheeseburger]

So many of these aren't skill. Just luck or good circumstance.

[@Carzeyday]

Man,wish I submit some of the Mound maker exploits. Would blow most of these out of the water.

[@brapulous]

do it

[@nialsum6906]

Whatever man i don't matter it was entertaining

[@cosiisurinporn8078]

\[T]/

[@TheCharkan]

You can see the reaction on the movement of the player... example, in the clip with the guy with the spare, the enemy was doing it well, but then after the first parry, he started to move faster, and when 1 hit left, he miss everything...

[@101dnp]

I love these top ten vids, thanks for putting them together. It's always interesting to see how differently people play dark souls.

[@Brainhorn]

>claims skill kills >includes people using katanas

[@Toriichii]

PtS' kill was pre patch. And washing pole is pretty balanced, it's only broken aspect is it predictable running r1

[@Lazyy97]

Looks like someone is stuck in Dark Souls II Katana are not THAT OP here, in fact. But hey, you've tried.

[@Brainhorn]

Found the katana user

[@bubbajoe117]

Beats the hell out of those piece of shit scummy strength weapons, the duel katana's can eat a dick now though I will say that.

[@TheBHNetwork]

>Implying katanas are t some of the easiest weapons to punish in the game >Betting you use a straight sword lmao

[@zacharywyland5823]

We all appreciate the hard work for the videos, keep up the quality videos!

[@jjortiz7504]

Now that i can upload vids to KZbin, it will be my goal to be in a video.

[@KushyEdits]

keep dreamin.

[@LSB44446]

Souls community in a nutshell here.

[@Heretogasunu]

+Publings mad cause you can't get in a video?

[@jjortiz7504]

Publings Keep dreaming? This isn't the lottery it's just a soul series.

[@jjortiz7504]

Publings Are you serious? Like, really serious? Like wow.

[@smeatyflavor8201]

YAAAAAS. Top 10s return with fire! The prism stone numbers are awesome by the way.

[@notwhateveritwasbefore9011]

dont you mean s-kills? AHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHha

[@notwhateveritwasbefore9011]

i legit didnt even watch the video i just saw the title and had to come over and post this comment

[@_1More_]

props to you man for taking so much time and putting so much effort into your videos!!! love watching them keep it up!! praise the sunlightblade!!!!

[@NoChillMan]

>Dual katanas >skill kill ok

[@bloodfiredrake7259]

he got 7 hits with it.that's at least somewhat impressive for anyone

[@mertinibus]

check his channel out dude ...

[@DigitalHawk96]

It was before the Buff to the weapon art doe.

[@ThatGuyTom12345]

Was just about to comment this Ahaha

[@chungusamongus69]

Lol the salt. Look at his channel. He's one of the most skilled DS players out there.

[@12431265]

i've been waiting for the dark souls 3 lists to start

[@yukinesekki7940]

Every single one of these is cool, but seriously Praise the Suns onislayer spam fest? If you count that as any semblance of actual "skill" you might as well have every dark sword user in there getting over 1000+ damage with "combo" r1 r1 r1 r1 r1, yeah because it takes that much more "skill" to mash the right bumper after you hit the left trigger. Its not even close to being on the same level to the rest of the clips shown.

[@tomdaboss2885]

Yukine Sekki this video was made before the onislayer weapon art was bufded so back then it was almost impossible to hit like that

[@fyecofi]

Yukine Sekki idiot.

[@eusoumaniaco]

Wow the number styling is amazing, I was so impressed keep it up man

[@36thgallardo]

Skill? DS3? lmao those things don't intersect

[@arrowface]

Wrong

[@billmcdonald4792]

thanks for taking the time to make this, always look forward to watching the videos keep up the good work, love ya

[@zakkarylong3549]

Dude I think you upload at the perfect time. You do this because you want us to like what you do, and I think it is amazing. Keep up the good work man 👍

[@MaximusDM100]

Hey @SunlightBlade just wanted to say thanks for the amazing Top Ten Video, its great to have them back. Also I love the new style as well. Keep up the great work!

[@ajlo1400]

thank you man for all the hours you put in to these really top quality dark souls videos

[@TheBobberan]

Very nice video, and congratulations to those featured. Your skills on creating videos are great and hopefully most of us now understand what its like or how long these take, to be honest I could never do what you do, you are amazing SunlightBlade :D

[@DorfenThomas]

nice to see the series return!

[@KingArthur95364]

Dude, take all of the time you need with your vids.. can't rush perfection ;). Also, I'd say the format is fine, so long as you always do a bit of explaining after for those of us who are not PvP pros :P. Keep up the great work!

[@Xenomes]

Really good production value. Awesome vid man :)

[@Big_Dai]

What was that at 0:30?? Flip-Ring! Also, great to see ParagonDS being named dropped here :) That glowing stone numbering was beautiful, even the location!

[@ZOMBIEHEADZoCOM]

Thanks for the time you spend watching everyones videos, God I cant imagine how you can get anything else done besides watch us play Dark Souls 3 anymore!

[@sonvolt5150]

So glad your back man. Heard the news about the bogus music copyright fiasco with your channel & youtube. Was worried we weren't going to be treated to anymore top 10's!!

[@Gensolink]

that was really good it's good to see you back on that but hope to see more differents types of videos too i love those one shot builds and stuff plus it's cool to see you react live

[@bottlemanic]

Me and my mates did the "play dark souls 1 with 2 different people on the same controller" thing before. It went well considering, but I don't think we'd fate too well online

[@willyisnotokay]

ITS RETURNED! I was just thinking about this series in ds1 yesterday and saw it in my recommended box and I thought no way!

[@solairetheabysswalker2121]

SUNLIGHT BLADE!!! Don't worry about how long it takes man!! We all love you for your videos and will always respect all the time and effort that you put on your videos. Don't overburden yourself and don't worry, you'll never let us down
