What's with weapon knockback?

[AwesomeHail]

I've seen that i got knocked back quite alot,  very often by the bardiche-type weapons. is that because of positioning or a wep effect of certain weapons?

(got knocked off the wall 3 times by it )

explain?

EDIT: NOT TALKING ABOUT NUDGE

You talking about nudging? Everyone can nudge. Set the key to it in your options/control menu in WSE2 and you'll be the nudger not the nudgee.

Not two handers or range.

Upblock nudge two handres (RIP Waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyynnnne) and just don't press anything but nudge when you're ranged or switch to your melee. Problem solved.

Not nudge...sometimes when someone hits you, you get knocked waaaay back.  It happens to me sometimes too.

the defalult key is V. if you have an up attack on a 2 hander, a 1 hander or shielder in any mode, a polearm block or anything while in the neutral mode you can nudge. only the polearm block, 1h block and shield block allow you to launch people.

I think it just happens when you get hit really hard.

You probably got Bardiched by me, my hold attacks push ppl away when they get hit.

I've always been curious if its the PS or the STR that causes the high knockback though?  How about punching (nudge)?

From my experience held hits by EXTREME STR builds will knock the shit out of you causing that knock back, but I don't know if its a combination of the PS and STR or the STR alone!?

I know there are a few key players on NA that come to mind like Tretter that I find his 2H held stabs are extremely difficult to chamber and I have to revert to actually blocking all the time against him.

I don't know if its just his timing/holds or if the added STR/PS is making it harder to chamber (might be ping difference), but I only see this with EXTREME str build players.
