All these bashes and tackles are really what make this game stand out, it's an advanced technique like discovering you can rocket jump in TF2. It adds so much that there isn't a button dedicated to a false edge move or shield bash, it's just the same mouse movement and left click with an occasional crouch, but you do it in such a way that it unlocks the game's true potential. Even more so now that all these elaborate suplexes and trips can do damage. I love Exanima. Can't wait to see how Sui Generis turns out too.
what makes you say that? All context/factors aside, development has been slow, yes, but it's a custom engine with a single programmer and a really big scope. Besides, on their discord there was a roadmap (as in what/when/how) given by the lead dev and it's been followed closely for the last ~3-4 years, afaik.@@sashagrey2984
1:13 I am so excited for that shield bash. Luckily I think you already understand that feeling as an Exanima player. I feel Exanima is really only a big beta test for the real game, whenever that comes out. I forget what it's called but when it (and Exanima) get released, it's gunna be amazing. That shield bash though... looks like it feels good.
I mean the game IS literally a testing grounds for sui generis (the game you're refering too) And yeah this game is already INSANE I can only imagine if they can actually get coop in the game it will be so replayable
I wish there would be a big RPG like Diablo 3, only with combat mechanics and immersion like in Exanima. It's a pity that most players are accustomed to gameplay with 2 buttons, to the maps showing the path, markers everywhere, where everything is simplified and casual.
@@krzkam7792 It requires a lot of finesse, like pulling the strings of a puppet. There's a rhythm to the fights also, and you need to time it just right and be at correct distance of your weapon. One thing about fights that helped me alot is having a button that I can hold to lock the camera behind my character so that I'm always looking straight ahead.
@@venerablebrothergoriate5844 Ha! No, not the middle one. On my mouse there’s additional buttons around where I place my thumb and I just assign that camera lock key to that button. It makes fighting much easier in my opinion.
Imagine a two person team, one a polearm knight, he flings the enemy cartwheeling up then a thaumaturgical mage blasts them up and away! God that would never get old
Feigning an attack with your weapon to follow up in the same momentum with the equivalent of hitting with a SMALL TABLE is the most real medieval thing I have seen 😂 Shields ARE weapons!
I enjoyed your video! Nice vibe with the music and editing. I liked the jokes. One thing though. The keyboard/mouse display could have been smaller IMO. Personally I'm not that interested in it, and while I understand some people might be; it was kinda hard to not be distracted by it. Just my opinion of course.
Or u can just play normally instead of these clownish hit or miss grapples or throws. In PvP that shit aint gonna fly, if u try it u will get pummeled before ure even in range to attempt it. Instead look at actually useful moves such as the fake edge which is conditionally good
lol I'm sorry. I had the most luck putting the camera near the pillar, where the torch rings would line up vertically. I just got used to my torch being in the wrong place.
I don't understand how you do false edge. When I try to do this, the character just remise when I jerk the mouse. Without remise it's just end the attack. I don't know maybe i git gud someday. Thanks for the video, mate, very helpful for a beginner!
I just bought the game a few days ago and have been loving getting really mad at it. I noticed there are a few instances where you are pressing "c". Did you rebind it to something else, or does "power bar" mean something in arena that I'm unaware of?
I've got crouch on C. It's the old default, a hold over from before the magic update. I use crouching for dodging, dropping my weight into attacks, and lining up tripping moves. I find C easier to press than X when also stepping forward or to the left.
Just started this on steamdeck tho. Runs extremely good and battery could go forever but Im str8 ass. Any tips or recommendations for steamdeck/controller specifically?
These are pretty hard to do and this isn't meant to teach anything. This is to show that the moves in my tuts still work in this patch, the other vids try to explain how the tricks work.
Can you help me understand what's going on? It seems like my weapons aren't as "heavy" as yours. When I get a pole arm or a greatsword into one of those positions, they don't yank the guy around like that, they just remain standing and my guy sort of lets the weapon flop in his grip. What am I missing?
Those takedowns and tosses work by using the windup motion. You get into position and wind up, dragging your weapon through the other guy and ideally taking him with.
If you change your mind, I hang out and offer unintentionally patronizing advice on the bare mettle discord's arena clips channel. You're right about it being silly to invest time and effort in a trick for a side mode in an early access title.
good video! was wondering if these things were still possible. to me it felt like the update changed how greatswords attack (?) anyone else notice that?

the final product better have a grab button so you can chokeslam zombies and roleplay as randy savage
@@realserialkilleractuallythere will be no final product

Just another 15 years or so until we find out how Sui Generis turns out!
after 25 years in development, it will be worth the wait @@PerMortensen
The way you’ve mastered this games physics is nothing short of incredible. Just wow. I could never hope to do any of this stuff, this is insane!
you continue to advance the knowledge of combat man thank you very much for these
False edge is here to stay baby!!
bro all your move are immaculate your giving these knights brain damage 10x, they don't even look like they want to get up
Thank you Gil, Very Cool!
PvP will be insane.
I also figured out a shield bash from the other direction. Nice work, you''re the best player I've seen
Amazing video, I really enjoyed watching you perform all those moves, wish I could play like that!

You have a discerning eye, my friend. It is the best trick.
I wish there would be a big RPG like Diablo 3, only with combat mechanics and immersion like in Exanima. It's a pity that most players are accustomed to gameplay with 2 buttons, to the maps showing the path, markers everywhere, where everything is simplified and casual.
I recently started playing this again after being discouraged by the controls. This game is incredible.
i am at the stage of being discourage and not in the mood to play this. But every movie yt recommend to me makes me closer to get back xd

@@jkasar so do you just hold the mousewheel down? damn... time for a new brand of carpal tunnel for me I guess, since i just picked this game up

@@venerablebrothergoriate5844 thats not needed tho
I love how goofy this game is. Another great vid mun ❤
thanks for linking this i have a feeling this is going to be much harder than it looks so imma get started
yeah i was right much harder
I love the Archibald sound effect! "I think that enemy got, the point!"
this is everything a 30 year old could want, from the music to the editing you just get me
Thanks for the glowing review, my dude.
got a tutorial on how to false edge?@@GilGamesHello
ruclips.net/video/j8nisnPcXbg/видео.html
you'll want to use a greatsword to get the hang of it.@@somerandomperson6856
This video is so well put together lol. Thanks for the laughs and techniques!
I subscribed yesterday and was watching your videos non stop. amazing content! much respect!
Mans scooping them up like macaroni, awesome lol
Your the reason why I just bought this game! Soon i’ll upgrade from drunk man with a stick to a Maul God.
Best Wishes man
Damn thats good. Imagine multiplayer duels!!
Imagine a two person team, one a polearm knight, he flings the enemy cartwheeling up then a thaumaturgical mage blasts them up and away! God that would never get old
I also dream of coop, the cooperative gymnastics would be insane
Might be a skill issue on my part, but fuck npcs with the pitch fork. Its op.
I also like the punch out theme going on. I think ill sub.
THANK THE LORD
I love how a floppy combat game has the most elegant and difficult combat techniques XD.
i definitely gotta get on this game.
Very informative, thx for the video, learned new martial arts technique
Feigning an attack with your weapon to follow up in the same momentum with the equivalent of hitting with a SMALL TABLE is the most real medieval thing I have seen 😂
Shields ARE weapons!
Great video man!
Best content in Exanima 😁
slow is smooth, smooth is fast
Fucking excellent!
In the devs latest dairy they talked about phasing where they've updated the physics to avoid it. So perhaps throws will be more consistent
I hope so, and for those cloth physics to turn into cape grappling.
With every update we unlock yet another aspect of spin to win.
Kiteshield variant is chefs kiss
Do all the character animations look better after the update? They all seem more lively to me.
Yes.
ayy let’s go been waiting for a vid like this
PS: feint method is superior 😉
I enjoyed your video! Nice vibe with the music and editing. I liked the jokes.
One thing though. The keyboard/mouse display could have been smaller IMO. Personally I'm not that interested in it, and while I understand some people might be; it was kinda hard to not be distracted by it. Just my opinion of course.
I disagree because I need to learn how they do this, even with the display I can’t replicate any of this but I appreciate their effort to teach me
Jayzus. I can never cross that fine line between drunken stumbling and actually styling all over your opponent in exanima.
great video
i absolutely despise AI with the pitchfork HELLNAH
COLLAB BOYS
Yessir 😏
Drunken Master style...
the phasing in grappling has really been annoying me lately, looks like I'm going to have to keep rewatching your vids to get it right.
Or u can just play normally instead of these clownish hit or miss grapples or throws. In PvP that shit aint gonna fly, if u try it u will get pummeled before ure even in range to attempt it. Instead look at actually useful moves such as the fake edge which is conditionally good
@@kerkertrandov459 if i see you in exanima pvp i will make it my mission to grapple the shit out of you
That kind of agility that I tried to achieve but don't know how to
Dude imagine the multiplayer madness… this game should just turn the dungeon into a MP game like dark and darker
So that torch trick is super cool! I pulled it off 2nd try, but now I am wondering if there is any way to put it back in the holder? lol
lol I'm sorry. I had the most luck putting the camera near the pillar, where the torch rings would line up vertically. I just got used to my torch being in the wrong place.
@@GilGamesHello All good! I'll just keep it next to my merchant. Thanks for all the great content!
they improved the physics of thin weapon interaction in last devlog to not phase through stuff.
True, exciting stuff, but it's anyone's guess when that actually makes it into the game. They made it sound like testing was right around the corner.
This looks like a completely different game when I watch others play it.
I don't understand how you do false edge. When I try to do this, the character just remise when I jerk the mouse. Without remise it's just end the attack. I don't know maybe i git gud someday. Thanks for the video, mate, very helpful for a beginner!
I'm having the same issue, I don't know how to do it
Meanwhile I can barely keep track of where I'm moving towards, then face the enemy and by the time i swing the enemy is behind me knocking me out

I've only ever played mouse and keyboard, you might have better luck asking on the bare mettle discord.

No matter how many times i rewatch the mouse movements and the inputs.. i just can't follow. I can't do this in game
These are pretty hard to do and this isn't meant to teach anything. This is to show that the moves in my tuts still work in this patch, the other vids try to explain how the tricks work.

Those takedowns and tosses work by using the windup motion. You get into position and wind up, dragging your weapon through the other guy and ideally taking him with.
But the most important question:
Are jumpkicks damaging moves yet?
You come into MY house... ruclips.net/video/FGJz3ZV3SjY/видео.html
kinda sus tbh but I count it.
@@GilGamesHello bruh how did I miss this one... Two weeks ago... Where does the time go...
I am praying for PvP one day. Pls at least one vs one combat and dungeon delving co op
I'm not autistic enough for this game but it looks amazing nonetheless
How do you like the new skill in the fencing branch?
What new skill? I don't think Draw is done yet.
@@GilGamesHello But it can be selected and studied in story mode
How much balence for false edge?
Any greatsword is good.
How the hell do you get this good
Practice and coffee.
fantastic.
I give up trying the shield bash, this shit hard, not worth my time
If you change your mind, I hang out and offer unintentionally patronizing advice on the bare mettle discord's arena clips channel. You're right about it being silly to invest time and effort in a trick for a side mode in an early access title.
All this game needs is screen-shaking when you hit and it'd be an instant sellout
how do you even play the fucking game
the grappling was mediocre
I tried this game for 2 hours and instantly refunded it....
I knew within the first 10 seconds I'd never be able to use these jank controls.
Very noice, I'm trying to find more FISTing techniques
good video! was wondering if these things were still possible. to me it felt like the update changed how greatswords attack (?) anyone else notice that?
You're right, the update did change greatswords but that was a bug and has been fixed.
Aa i see!, thanks for the insight @@GilGamesHello
Hard to master, easy to win game.
