[@halo48189]

@@Jedentheconsume Why? If anyone pays to teach them how to play a game is just plain stupid. The whole point is to play and learn yourself. That would be like playing dark souls for the first time and having someone who is max soul level just carry you through the game. Where's the fun in not overcoming your own weaknesses and getting better yourself?

[@Angel-bl9rs]

The game's built around how well you can mirror the opponent and whoever slips up enough times dies. There are some exceptions with different weapons etc but all "high level" duels in this game with longswords or messers just end up being that.

[@legomanc4555]

I mean I have never fought with real swords, but I assume that's more or less real sword combat.

[@Darkstar198]

@@legomanc4555 Absolutely NOT. If you've even seen any real fencing, you would know that both sides tend to have healthy respect for defense. So much so, many would rather play mind games with the opponent, than be the one who strikes first. Because once you've given your guard up for attack, the fight will almost always be over very quickly. Mordhau, while an arcade interpretation of melee fighting, is somewhat more accurate. The various swing manipulations with riposte creates situations where you don't really want to riposte predictable attacks on every single parry, because it gives opponents initiative to feed you mix-ups.

[@xurgam1099]

How tf he have that game?

[@bignickenergy2042]

Nah only noons mirror each other in a fight for an hour doing the same attacks back and forth. You have to break their flow of combat by mixing drags, kicks, jabs, and movement.

[@legomanc4555]

@@Darkstar198 Though I think for the sake of the game, defence is less of a priority as many people prefer fast combat to hitting once every 5 seconds. Interesting perspective though.

[@maniacalmurderer4123]

That second fight felt like a fight out of a movie, both opponents forced to switch it up and the battle goes on so long there weapons are knocked out of their hands.

[@okinawagaijin9344]

Not only that, but they both ended up fighting with their opponent's weapon. That was really nice to watch.

[@mystrdat]

Best duel I've seen so far.

[@thegregitto]

First one was disarmed, then picked up a weapon off the wall, eventually weapons were swapped when the player tried to throw his weapon and picked up his enemy's before disarming him and subsequently decapitating him.

[@SanctusDraco]

He even took that shield off and blocked a thrown sword, then threw the shield like it was for one use only. 😂 He was a great opponent.

[@MoltenMonarch]

Dude that first duel was incredible, swapping weapons at the end, all kinds of cool stuff. It *looks* high level, and FUN, AND dynamic. Way more than any mordhau gameplay, anyhow.

[@MoltenMonarch]

to follow that up, i genuinely rooted for you in these matches. i think chiv ii is a thousand times more watchable than it's counterparts as a "sport" in the competitive sense.

[@Familyguyfunnymoments_]

Shitting on mordhau was pretty unnecessary tbh

[@zethekobold]

Idk tbh, I’ve always found chiv (both 1 and 2) to be incredibly clunky when compared to mordhau, everything in chiv feels so robotic, like there is no fluid motion in it

3:14 You could sell that off as cinematic footage, the way he fell down was cool.

[@arnlaugr]

When I first started playing Chiv 2, it felt like absolute shit coming from Mordhau. It felt like things were hitting my block before the windup was even finished, making countering ridiculously hard. I think after getting used to the animations, however, Chiv 2 generally has a much healthier combat flow for both 1vX and duels. I also believe the system allows for proper strategic gambling with jabs that Mordhau only has a gimped version of through kicks. Overall, I think Chiv 2 better captured the aspects of what makes the FPMS genre enjoyable.

A good tip is to always assume a dane axe user has initiative. Because they do lmao. also use kick more if they start to predictably block every attack. A lot of good players wont go to block immediately after an attack in anticipation of a kick some times though.

[@bobjohansen6548]

I live in Brasil, and here, outside the city on rural areas we have a sort of sword that is called "facão" or "pexera", normally it have the length of the lower leg and having no police in those lands the people solve problems by their own, so it's not very rare to see swords fights until death on those remote places, normally they take one sword on each hand and start to fight but takes long before someone gets hit because they defend with precision.
