My best recorded example of 2h sword hitting through block.

[Thucydides]

pfft forget going through blocks, SOMEONE FIX MY POLEARM GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH A GUY AND NOT EVEN HITTING HIM

[Momo]

Just to prove when I say it went through my block I'm not talking horseshit.
Btw, was just recorded not long before the latest patches, using the so called OP LHB.

Murmu, I don't understand you, when you just stunlock everyone with polearms xD. It's OP as the OP 2hs.

[Murmillus_Prime]

Yes I agree that it's not an issue confined to just 2h swords but given that it happens more frequently when facing someone with a 2h sword means that it's more than a mere annoyance when playing, if it wasnt as frequent as it appears to be for me then I wouldn't have raised the issue. I have clips of 3 other 2h users going through my blocks. I carefully looked at the recordings, removing clips that show me or at least the screen says so, release the block early.

[Captain_Georges]

too slow and too nervous.

[Meow]

if you call that nervous you don't ever wanna see me fighting on my screen

also holding my swings for half a sec longer than necessary increased my number of unblocked hits by about 75% and also made me realize that holding a block instead of tapping them helps a lot.

[Kaelaen]

I don't think the guy he was fighting was holding his up strikes, but because they are naturally slower Murmillus_Prime did seem to constantly make the mistake of letting go of the block button.  I myself make that mistake often.  Memento_Mori and everyone else was correct in earlier posts in that you are trying to tap block.  It doesn't matter if you know or don't know what it means, you only hold your block for like a split second before trying to retaliate, which is easy picking for good duelists no matter their weapons.  Not to mention... dat backpedal

[Murchad]

I get that all the time because i tend to tap block also, i just blame myself
i am trying to work on holding block but old habits die hard

Helicopter less, block more?

[Murmillus_Prime]

I'm not nervous when I play, I have high sensitivity on the mouse.

[Polobow]

Hmmm looking closely makes me think he just made a quick feint or holded the attack a little.

Then control your mouse better. [Or lower sensitivity]
You look way too far when you go to block and attack.

It is hard to watch this video, the backpedaling and poor footwork hurts to watch, even ignoring mouse control and lack of block holding. You have a lot to work on and this issue will go away.

1. Hold your ground: You are wearing heavy armor & your weapon isn't longer, dear god why are you backpedaling? You want to give the opponent control of the fight? You want to do less damage? Also, try to not let him circle you.
2. Use your ears. Don't rely solely on eyesight as your only means of playing. Strike back when you HEAR the sound of a block. Nobody will ever hit through you again. Relying entirely on your eyes is how holds and feints get kills.

The intention of the video was to show hits through blocks, not an example of me playing at my best. I don't need to be told how to play, it's insulting. I've played for many months and if my blocking style is what's the cause of swords going through my blocks then how do I manage to block atall? Surely if I released too soon all the time then every block would fail, but that's not the case by far.

get faster at blocking?

btw he's doing a little delay before the attack. I do it all the time to people doing small delays to really long delays.

[RandomDude]

Yeah sorry man it looks like a clear case of holding attack/releasing blocks too early and/or lag?

I get hit when I could swear I've blocked but I put it down to ping/frame lag.

You play for many months yet you fall for the simplest trick there is, the held attack. The hits are going through because you release the RMB too soon, easy as that. The video does NOT show the hits going through your block, it shows your lack of blocking skill.

I'm not trying to insult you here, but don't try to cover up your failure by saying it went through your block, when in fact, you weren't blocking at the very moment the hit hit.
