@@animalicon3535 Hot take : Pvp in Fromsoftware game has always been trash and will always be as long as i-frames are a main component of gameplay. Spamming roll and dodge 99% of incoming attacks houldn't be an option in a pvp game lmao
DaS1 and 2 were slow, but they gave me that feeling I was this big, heavy knight having come to f up the place. The anime super move stuff was minimal.
Dark Souls 1 midrolls feel slower than the fatrolls in DS3/Elden Ring... that explains a lot about how fast-paced the games evolved to be. Everything aside, Dark Souls 1 still holds a very special place in my heart that no souls game ever will.
rolling at the fastest fast roll (it was split up into like 4 different fast rolls depending on weight) in ds1 is still just the same speed as a ds3/er medium roll. you were slow as hell in these games lol
Because in Dark Souls not every boss was meant to be beat by rolling. A bunch of different playstyles were possible, so having a bad roll wasn't a big issue. That being said, mid roll in DS1 is sufficient for a roll-heavy playstyle because there's only a handful of enemies that even have an attack combo that is longer than two hits.
You can pretty much stunlock every enemy in elden ring with a colossal sword, i do agree that fighting some bosses like Messmer and Rellana on a str build felt like i was too slow to even get a single hit on them, but it is still busted by the cheer stunlock capacity and poise dmg
I liked Souls better this way. Slower, more methodical, more deliberate, none of that twenty hits in a row fly through the air anime bullshit that Elden Ring has.
@@neelupetyt6520thats kinda the point tho. Ds1 atleast allowed you to spec as tanky for bosses at the cost of dmg and rolls. Ds3 and elden ring pretty much force you to be a fast roller high dps type. There's a few niche shield tank moments but that's it
I miss these bosses where we really fight against them, and we don't have to dodge 5 or more consecutive srtrikes until the ia decides to gives me a break
I'm a strength main myself and when i got to playing ds1 last year I was floored by how much fucking damage I was doing with the demon greataxe, same with the DBS in demons souls, the old games let you hit so unnecessarily hard lol
I've seen many Dark Souls videos, some how this might be the most ridiculous. The 92 repair powder mixed with 99 humanity. Making Artorias look like a child is hard to do
I did this on my first run, except I blocked every fucking thing in the game with havels greatshield and used a + 15 demon's greataxe with S on strength scaling. It was fun.
No seriously, strength builds are basted. I got 40 strength and a heavy armour with the large club and I killed the final boss by tanking all his hits and healing like 3 times. I struggled so much to get to him, just to kill him within a minute. I didnt know his moves, it was my first ever playthrough. Lol
Smough: "Hey Artorias?" *BONK* Artorias: "OW! AAARGG! SON OF A HOLLOW- THERE'S ABYSS IN MY EYES! AARGH!" Smough: "...Gwyn asked me to come and get you. Don't why." *leaves*

Looks like that’s not all he eats
@@wiiblewobblewith a side of great sword

I'll never get over the fact that you can become tiny Smough complete with a hammer that covers half your screen
The fact this Smough can do a dodge roll instead of a fat roll.
I used the smough build in DS1 and 3 cause it's GOATED also I love his character

Remember when heavy armor actually did something in From games?
And now I play Shadow of the Erdtree with the "Berserk cosplay armor" and get absolutely obliterated by any living being lol

I just realized how slow ds1 combat was now since I played ds3 and elden ring ✨💀💀
After playing bloodborne I was just baffled how slow ds1 felt
Haven't played any souls games yet except ds1 it is my first souls game and yes it does feels slow compared to the games I usually play
I played Elden Ring and then DS1. Might be a slower game but it's also deliberate
DaS1 and 2 were slow, but they gave me that feeling I was this big, heavy knight having come to f up the place. The anime super move stuff was minimal.
Old souls best souls, the sheer feeling of weight and how much your levels actually mattered. Armour actually reduces damage!

didn't chug once...
Big weapon gud, strength build gud, me smash metal dude with big weapon.
You’re not fighting the boss, the boss is fighting you
Unga bunga smash
Dude must start running out of weapon durability sooner than he starts running out of HP.
Bruh, the hammer blocks the boss most of the time so you can't even see his attacks.
Doesn't matter.
No seeing, no dodging, only bonk.
I'm not going to question why the heavy attack does lower damage than the light attack
The boss was buffing normally it will take three hits to stagger him but with this much strength one heavy attack is enough
@@akashaka9730 it's not the strength it's the fact the hammer does about 100 poise damage on a 2h heavy
he's resistant to damage while buffs
“You mean to tell me there’s another knight like Ornstein and I just gotta travel time to fight him??? EEEEE A DARK HAMMER!”
For perfection it needs Smough's laughs
I miss the time when heavy armor used to works in souls game...
It still works though? Stop circlejerking
60 strength still looks like a spindly little stick version of smough, I love how the largeness of the armor only translates sideways
First the Abyss and now Smough Jr.
Artorias can't catch a break, man.
I used the smough build in DS1 and 3. Its honestly a really good build and it pisses me off that i cant use it in elden ring
remember when strength mattered? pepperidge farm remembers.
Armor and poise too...Pepperidge farm remembers.
I wish we could reinforce armor again.
STR builds are still the easiest way to play every souls game and ER my guy
Even in Nioh bigger weapons trivialize most of the game
Strength is beastly in ER, colossals are the only kind of weapon that gives me trouble in PvP
You can pretty much stunlock every enemy in elden ring with a colossal sword, i do agree that fighting some bosses like Messmer and Rellana on a str build felt like i was too slow to even get a single hit on them, but it is still busted by the cheer stunlock capacity and poise dmg
Passive poise!
"sit on em Smough"
Damn that shit went down like butterbeans in a September morning
bro became the boss
I liked Souls better this way. Slower, more methodical, more deliberate, none of that twenty hits in a row fly through the air anime bullshit that Elden Ring has.
Literally. It felt more realistic which made it all the more better.
More painful
Agreed. I uninstalled Elden Ring and am returning to the good old souls formula and Bloodborne.
Those games will always be there to play. Remember the theme of the games: stagnation leads to rot
It feels like shit, it's like waking through mud the whole game lol.
Look at me, im the boss now! ... again.
- Smough (probably)
Bro's strength is so high that the boss started panic rolling at some point
When he said bonk I felt that.
I did the same thing to sister Freide in DS3 dlc. 3 phases didn't matter when she staggered like crazy from the hammer.
"Who isn't a royal Knight now??"
The Lagend Kinght Artorias 📜💔😢. he Story………………….
I almost forgot about durability being a thing in older Souls games.
The ultimate bonk
artorias almost kill his final boss
Smough revenge
That's what elden ring lacks: working armors that actually provides protection and poise
Armours do provide protection and poise??? Just not as much to let you tank bosses
@@neelupetyt6520 Also you can literally do this in elden ring. Look up all hit runs.

Tarnished: I can one shot a boss by using power buffs.
Chosen Undead: Whimp, I just need 60 strength and Smaug's Hammer.
Knight Artorias my favorite character in Dark Souls 😁
Dark Smough
i've never seen smough move like that
Bro is the real boss
I love how his attacks take less % from your hp than yours takes from his hp
Love it when you can fight human bosses on equal footing.
Dexcels could never
artorias is the player, he is the boss.
pure skill bro
BOSS vs BOSS.
I miss these bosses where we really fight against them, and we don't have to dodge 5 or more consecutive srtrikes until the ia decides to gives me a break
I can't see anything with this big armour and weapon 😂👌
Artorias messed up when he got your red tearstone active
I like to think of his repair powder as being protein powder instead
Bro said Im the "BOSS"
Back when dlc bosses had 5k health and still memorable.
Instead of going 30k with the absolutely dumbest delayed attacks.
I mean we have a lot and i mesn a LOT more attack power in elden ring
Along with more stamina, more stamina regen, and more speed in general
Don't forget the 10 hit combos that give you one second to punish/heal then they start all over again
fair
You deal like 1000 damage per hit in Shadow of the Erdtree so bosses having 30k HP is a non-issue
@@gunsevenwhillans420Maybe the AR but after resistances and armor you don’t
