Duel Analysis - Chivalry 2

[@masonfritz6756]

I was Mas in this video. I saw u in the lobby and was like "no way this is actually Ziggylatta" then u just started wrecking everybody 😂. Keep up the good content! Your videos have helped me a ton.

[@gemsballin]

I wouldn’t wanna fight him 🤣🤣

[@DennisBLee]

you did pretty well!

[@Creatine_Shits]

What server??

[@masonfritz6756]

@@DennisBLee thanks! I guess I need to stop gambling too much tho 😂

[@DennisBLee]

@@masonfritz6756 yeah it's a bad habit i have to constantly fight because with weaps like the dane axe or longsword you can get away with it so much

[@FHGryphonIRL]

I love this video style I’ve been waiting for someone to make an analysis video like this on chiv

[@spooky8662]

I'd love to see more of this with other weapons. An axe, a GS, a messer/longsword, and some 1 handed weapons

[@Ziggylata]

All of them recorded are with halberd but if theyre all well received ill do some other weapons as well.

[@xSpocKx]

@@Ziggylata Well received and great way to learn! Looking forward to more.

[@FuttBucker420]

Chiv 2 is my first melee game that I'm actually getting into, and while it was hard for me to keep up with all of the actions during the fight, by the end I still learned quite a bit about how to pay attention to my enemy and the options I have in battle. Definitely make more of these videos, I'm sure your commentary will improve with time.

[@elitearcangelx]

more of these please.. this type of video gave me more info than 10 other chiv videos and youtubers combined. It helps breakdown the information to where i have a better idea where to position my camera and which way to angle my attacks/feints. very well done.

[@Tallerixoo]

See that folks? This is all it takes to make good content. Some beautiful elder scrolls music and the uncut voice of an expert at his craft, teaching us yet also teaching himself during. The reason I mention it being uncut is because its really great to see how little ego you have; you approach what you think happened, and if you feel your wrong you'll go over it in slow motion and break down every little thing, even though it sounds like the ramblings of a madman sometimes, it all makes perfect sense. this was such a relaxing 20 minutes. And I sincerely thank you good sir.

[@theinflatableman]

These kinds of videos are sorely needed in Chiv2. Keep making them. And maybe consider taking clips from viewers so you can critique them. Great work.

[@Ziggylata]

I can dissect clips in my discord if you feel like posting your own and asking me what happened.

[@danzite1333]

Thanks Ziggy, I'm definitely that guy trying to parry everything and getting punished for it. These type of videos are super helpful keep it up

[@TheCrispyTwinkies]

I love you actually did this. I wanted some KZbinr to do this, you have no idea how much help this is. My only wish now is you do weapon showcases. Like what you do with the “Meet the weapon” series, but way more in depth and showcasing it 1vX and 1v1 scenarios

[@Hyperky1]

You know this is awesome the cycle of chiv youtubers continues someone influences you you influence us and eventually...

[@Orkieporkie]

Thanks for the analysis video. It's good to see the way you go about these fights to see what I'm doing differently and how to get better.

[@Dang-b2l]

This did help me understand duels more as I’ve only been playing the game for a couple of days, I would hope you make more of this content : )

[@ThermiteWarrior]

This was awesome, I love the play by play and theory breakdown of what was done when, and why. Great for honing someone’s skills

[@TrueKivan]

Good analysis, best thing is you either do this stuff subconciously or you didn't internalise it yet, and such videos help to pinpoint what ideas should be drilled into that ultra instinct.

[@BattalionMouse]

Thank you for this! I really enjoyed the breakdowns -- even for the "easier" fights, it's really nice to watch/listen and reinforce the basics. And of course, the harder fights are very interesting and informative too.

[@ZytheJR]

THANK YOU! this is so helpful! Please do more of these!!! Aa a noob, its really confusing at first to see or understand HOW Experienced players are winning their fights. +1 sub!

[@scolarvisari7496]

Perfect guide, thanks man i also liked your video style, keep up good work:)

[@Leann-n]

Yes I like these, seems like the best way to soak lots of knowledge and its also fun to watch

[@GardenBoat]

Incredible analysis ziggy, I feel like I just got 20% better just by watching

[@gitgud1018]

Love this video concept. Pretty sure I asked you on stream if at some point you were going to start doing these. I would like to see more duels that incorporate jabbing and higher skilled players. Would also like to see some explanation on player movement/footwork (I know it's hard to explain) since some of your opponents in the video tried to get tricky with it. Awesome, can't wait for this to be a series!

[@jazlacook3389]

These are pretty good. I’d like to see you duel some reallly good players. One clan is Tro or something like that and I have never been able to beat them. Their drags and counter feints just seem unbeatable. I think it would be cool to see you duel with weapons like the long and great sword as well. Great video!

[@vidsofthefuture]

As someone who frequently (and I mean VERY frequently - a few years ago Wings of Kynareth was my most-listened to song on Spotify for that year) listens to Oblivion music, I was overjoyed to hear Auriel's Ascension when this video started. And then a bunch of other Oblivion music throughout. Man I need to play Oblivion again.

[@leonardmcspazerton8912]

I would love to see more of this, it really helps with learning things like footwork (I also had no idea that neutral attacks don't cost stamina, and it never occurred to me that just hitting someone with a normal attack gave you stamina back too, I thought that only counters did that)

[@psp0ng617]

Chiv is the perfect game for slow breakdowns like these. Great video, I absolutely loved it

[@sandmanlxv]

I liked this a lot, extremely useful and entertaining content. I’m sure we’d all like to see more of this, especially with other weapons and maybe even some 1vX scenarios!

[@senpai4338]

Please do more! Super chill content to watch! Hope the wisdom tooth extraction is feeling better!

[@HoboHunterRik]

I hope Oblivion music is used in the backgrounds of videos till the end of time. Jeremy Soule really put his all into TES 4

[@alex_is_monkay8605]

Gotta love *Crustacean the Soup* glitch

[@thebbqbandito2868]

One day we will find them.

[@xo4783]

I would definitely like to see more, but I’m obsessed with high level dueling, and I feel like I (personally) would learn more from fights in which you face more pressure. Maybe you could do a mashup of your best duels, from those where you get stuck into a counter war to those where you just completely demolish an opponent in seconds. And, as far as constructive criticism goes, I believe you should focus more on obscure(ish), and/or complex maneuvers rather than simple reposts (albeit, I did learn a couple of new things about stamina control and damage, so thank you for that). And also, I think (and this is entirely up to you, but I do think it is a good idea) that you should put even more effort into analyzing your fights before you record yourself reviewing them. I do this with my own clips as well, as sometimes there are things that you can (or could have) missed, whether that be because you are (or were) too hurried, or because, as a highly skilled player, your perspective blinds you to things which you might think already evident to us, the general populace. Other than that, I can safely say that this video has taught me a few things that I wasn’t (at least, not entirely) already aware of, and also that it has cemented a few ideas and strategies of mine into my mind as good ones. I’ve learned from this, and I look forward to learning more.

[@xo4783]

Also, I think one of your greatest skills in this game is your ability to recognize weakness in others and take advantage of that by responding conversely. That is something that, for the last four months, I have been trying to perfect as best as I can, and I find it really inspiring to see a player as good as you playing the same, as it provides me with an idol to look up to and a goal, as well as a reason to challenge myself to get better.

[@haideralikhan5947]

This was great, need more of these in depth with all the details. Great for beginners

[@VanguardJester]

"this vanguard with a warclub just parries and repostes on repeat until he dies." i deadass thought you were fighitng me for a second

[@ibimssss]

please make a video how to defeat crustacean the soup he keeps killing me

[@farske]

Loved this. What I'm struggling with is when/what exactly I can do to retain stamina and not get disarmed.

[@Ziggylata]

Try to use less. Do counters without feints, dont dodge too much, counter them and accelerate the swing so they hopefully cant counter you.

[@farske]

@@Ziggylata thank you. What are the rules of stamina actually? The fight you had with the warclub and you just parry, then you hit and get stamina back. Can you break down what gives stamina? What uses stamina? The nitty gritty tricks

I love this breakdown idea. Sometimes the game is moving so fast its hard to comprehend whats all happening. Maybe you could do the same kind of breakdown for team battles as well?

[@Rafaelinux]

Great videos! The contents on this one weren't that new. Would love to see your thoughts on what to do when engaging in specific types of duels. Like short range vs spear.

[@xo4783]

I agree. Learning about how to turn tables in disadvantageous situation situations would be extremely helpful.

[@ahhhsothisishowyouchangean162]

Yup(I havnt finished the vid yet so don’t know if he encountered these type of people), especially foot man with falchion, the just spin around you abusing speed and they just attack feint and mess you up while spinning around you. When I reposte I can never hit..

[@xo4783]

@@ahhhsothisishowyouchangean162 those are the type of guys you need to play with. you can’t let them dictate the pacing of the fight or else they’ll mess you up. basically your only two options are to use a long range weapon that can keep them at a distance, or switch to someone who has a shield so that you can abuse your block. when i fight against the speedy types who orbit me, randomly feint, and chase me down with heavy’s whenever i try to dash away, normally what i’ll do is discourage their playstyle by simply waiting them out. feinting usually takes more stamina from them than blocking with a shield does from you. you just have to treat them like a child, show no fear, and wait until they get pissed off because you’re playing like a bitch and they can’t do a single thing about it. except kick. but that’s what you’ll have been waiting for, right? don’t let them control the fight. assume confidence, and eventually you’ll win.

[@ahhhsothisishowyouchangean162]

@@xo4783 ayt and I use the highland sword or the greatsword for duels, but yea I’m the opponent always tries to close my distance and I panick for the riposte and often miss them, and now I know I can sit with shield :)) thanks

I liked these!

[@xuhaneng1130]

2:00, I don’t understand, how to cancel a heavy attack? I’ve tried for several times but it just didn’t work.

[@Ziggylata]

If you swing and connect it to someone (blocked or damage) and then combo, you can cancel that combo at any time. As I said at the timestamp, because I combo''d my swing and my combo'd attack is then a heavy attack, the heavy attack can be canceled while it's still in windup.

[@xuhaneng1130]

@@Ziggylata I see, thank you very much. This is quite helpful!

[@asmodeus235]

Hey Ziggy, do you think you could make an in depth video talking about the concept of gambling in Chiv? I would have an easier time learning if it were you that explained it. Thanks

[@1IGG]

Gambling means attacking while you don't have initiative. For what's initiative, it's taught decently well in the tutorial ingame.

[@daikilvirtav8469]

Great video! More duel stuff please

[@googone1902]

amazing video

[@shaheer_ghazi]

I’m confused. At 1:55 minute mark, I thought we can’t cancel a heavy attack? How is Ziggy able to cancel and then quickly follow up with a counter? I think this happens on the 9:00 min mark as well? Are we allowed to cancel heavy attacks with the cancel button? I really liked this video. Maa Shaa Allah it was really helpful.

[@Ziggylata]

If you combo after landing a hit, you can feint to parry even during heavies.

[@shaheer_ghazi]

@@Ziggylata dam, I didn’t know that. Thank you.

[@MrBoliyon]

It would be cool if viewers sent in their duels and you broke those down and gave them tips :)

[@FleischYT]

Cheers, do you have the setting option "Attack Direction from Movement Input" enabled ? or u use specific keys to change attack direction ?

[@Ziggylata]

I do not use attack from movement input. I use alt keys and specific keys. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX_RipKujJx3rc0

[@ozboz1995]

Love this series. From a very new player, (I have watched your guide though) it would be interesting to know in duels specifically why you are going for a particular attack type eg slash / overhead / stab, in a given scenario. Not saying you do this for every single attack but for example lots of slashing at the start and then halfway through a fight you decide to overhead.. how come? Thanks !

[@Ziggylata]

If it makes sense, you don't really decide to most of the time. I just "do" overheads and stabs. Sometimes I will focus a particular attack to go for a weakness. If im fighting the Maul for example, the Maul Stab is very bad. If I stab them a lot, they're forced to do more stabs themselves and that's bad for them. Other than that, there is no thinking about it.

[@rickfakhre2400]

At 9:40 the guy kicks you but you hit him first. I don't get it. Explain how he kicks you but you hit him after.

[@rel_9602]

I really struggle with parrying / counter feints and heavy attacks. Often times I get killed because of my attempts to counter everything 😅 and the other times because I get kicked and set off guard. Have you any idea how to avoid getting kicked so many times? Usually I don’t hold block but only using it to parry an incoming attack.
