Let me try to explain what was happening, so you get a better understanding of the mechanics. Notice from 0:19-0:20 I tried to set you up by making an obvious attack to your right, and then immediately after you blocked I tried to hit you with a swing to your left. You were out of position though (you kept moving to your right, which was the direction I wanted to go) so that meant my attack to your left was coming from the outside. Your counter swing was also coming from the outside, but because you just blocked, Warband mechanics meant it was my turn to block.
Immediately after that I set you up with another attack from the outside to your right, which you blocked, and then I moved immediately to your right to try another left swing. You moved left and tried to attack from the left, which meant my swing was now starting from the inside while you were still swinging from the outside. Because of that, my attack happened first. Schoi already told you most of the counters to it: "To avoid the double swing you have several options a kick, another block, chamber, jump away and swing, s key, etc." But I'd like to add one more: Move in the direction they're going to try to move. Turn their inside swing to an outside swing. Essentially, you're trying to out-double-swing your opponent. Just by countering their foot work, you eliminate their ability to double swing you. I remembered on that same day Kale went for a double swing on me, but because I was moving where he wanted to go, I managed to get something as slow as an overhead to land before his second swing could hit me.
It's kind of difficult understand what an "inside" swing looks like, but this is a pretty good look:
(Skip to 6m52s)
Or:
This might be obvious to you now since it sounds like you have people on voice chat able to explain things to you while you play, but this post is for anyone else in the community who might be a little new who doesn't understand what's happening yet. Yes the servers are terrible at the moment, but a lot of the times, people's attacks are entirely intentional. I hope you keep playing and dueling, Ufoinsky. Just like blocking, eventually the footwork becomes something you don't even think about after a time.
