Hiltslashing?

[Xant]

As good as yours.

It's usually pretty easy to spot someone who is going for a double attack. Actually it's a good opportunity for someone defending with a inferior weapon to score a hit. Just block twice while focussing on moving around the attacker. He's usually so occupied with turning in his attacks that one can get his back after blocking the second hit.

[Xant]

Indeed. Someone who does it properly won't give you a chance to do that, though.

Hiltslashes are a different thing. They are near instant and Those should glance. I honestly don't know why they don't. It makes no sense, it is like the sweetspot mechanism is too weak/bugged.

I use hiltslashes defensively mostly. Lets say I went to double swing on paul, and he started to circle me. My second attack would be blocked according to him. Ok... I then start a hiltslash and hit him since getting around me requires touching me.
And a hiltslash requires contact or near contact.

Also paul, you just gave me two free swings on you to block in that scenario :X. I could even kick you if you do that.

Nope.

You know Marathon, instead of making your posts two, three times longer by editing than what people first replied to, maybe you could make a new post instead.

And as Paul says.. "Nope."

Hiltslashes are not a big problem, its easy to see when somebody is going to do it and its easy to counter it. Also you can do it with a pole and a 2her, but you can actually also do it with a 1h, its just a bit harder.

The reason his posts are longer than yours is because he has a valid argument and you don't.  It's a broken mechanic that should not be in the game.  Period.

Hilt slashing is actually easy enough to do, even with heavy strength builds that tend to lumber around a bit. I don't much care for it at all to be perfectly honest. I can't use the realism argument because of how hypocritical it would be, so i'll just say that I think it's dumb.

The problem i have with hiltslashing is that when i expect the weapon to glance when it has no speed so i try to get a second swing, and instead i get hit with a full force attack that shouldve glanced. This happens alot when i fight onehanders aswell.

i've noticed hilt slashing with people who favor side swings a lot such as 2h using the Miaodao, as a person who uses angles to make people glance, getting instantly hit at full damage from a swing that should by all of this games logic glance is frankly irritating  and broken IMO

I don't call it hiltslashing if average footwork can prevent you from getting "hiltslashed."

Hiltslashes kill me, a lot. They cool though.

You should be smart/fast enough to avoid other players exploiting flawed game mechanics to kill you!

Worst argument ever

Could someone make a video about "hiltslashing"? I am reading the post but I can't understand how it works, and I think i'm not the only one.
