I like how the opponent at 2:20 tried to push in past the longsword tip once he got nicked and felt threatened. The counterplay of pushing him into the railing was also very clean and fluid. It paints a very vivid picture of the brutality of medieval combat, and possibly how much being afraid could change the dynamic of a fight. It makes me super interested to see what this game would look like with skilled players going at it in PvP. So much potential!
The visual of the shadowed closed arena gate really hammers down the fact that Willie is a slave to the sword, trapped in this arena with no choice but to kill.
The longsword is an elegant and deadly weapon of combat... absolutely deadly and extremely elegant. Wielding a sword is not like wielding a stick. Many people who use swords are like monkeys waving sticks randomly, but your defense and counterattack are amazing! 02:22 He realized the direction of your attack and subconsciously raised his shield to cover his vitals, but your attack still cut through his defense the moment the shield was lowered. It was really beautiful. 03:48 Perfect Kasaya Slash! 04:05 Standard and terrifying longsword blocking and counterattack. After the battle, putting away your weapons is a display of confidence and etiquette. I like your actions very much. I have subscribed:D

Are you distinguishing the length of LS variants between “T2” and “T3” long swords, or the bastard swords? I did some testing between T2/T3 with the exact same blade profile and length. They handle completely different! More different than even two contrasting blade profiles in the same long sword tier.
@@Chente_Bui I really only distinguish the long longsword, the fat bottom skinny tip long sword, the medium... Nevermind all longsword variant feels different
@@SparkNDarker its a bug that you have to spam esc, C, F at the same time. Very tedious because you have to turn down damage to NPC at immobilized them without winning the match (or it will show the Hold G text). And when you enter freecam bug, you can't escape you menu, you have to alt f4 to quit the game and open the game again. So, once you're in a good position to record, record as many scenes as you can before you lose, or they lose.
@gyojix oh damn! I had no idea it took so much to pull that off! I'll have to try it when I have some free time. And thank you for explanation man! For what it's worth, you've earned a sub from me friend!
They do, but they're not perfect, and some are more defensive than others. You just have to play this game to understand that the npc is more complex than it looks.
Took me a very long time to get the black color doublet because in this game even with mods, the clothing color randomize. Check out my Mod guide video, and then watch sandman video linked on that video.

If any one video was to put you on the map, my bet is this one. Bloody delicious
@@afterm00nluci appreciate you sir, almost at 1k!
Dang, that 2nd opponent was really something
He made it cinematic
The way the ai becomes more aggressive and stumbles fighting desperately is so real and cool the detailed ai isn't talked of enough

I love your playstyle dude, very calculated, quick, fatal playstyle. Also Congrats on 1K subs!
Ty for watching! I'm very grateful for all of those who find my content enjoyable. Best part about this is the interactions I have in the comments.
Excellent game play and wonderful intro, good job!
Dude absolutely needs more views and subs just off the effort put in the intro alone.

Your accuracy for stroking on those Willies is immaculate lmao. But for real 👍👍. I need to work on accuracy against armor myself

Bravo ol' chap👏😌
6:00 Like a boar to a hunter, it has thrusted itself once more... And like a boar to a spear, charged itself to death's door...
He was truly unlucky
Absolutely elegant
Vinland Saga + Half Sword = pure kino
that intro was beautiful 😭
@@alice-pi8oh 🙏
Pure poetry!
Great video keep it up 🤙🤙
You too! Love the shorts
If watching you fight bots is this entertaining, I can't wait to see what pvp looks like.
(most likely will not be pvp don't get too excited)
cool stuff!
This is cinema
7:10 that guy is like one of those anime villain that hits the mc throwing them through buildings

if they enable vr multiplayer they can charge 100 dollars, it shits on everything battle vr
@GeorgeAspromalis VR might not be the dev 1st priority. I think at the core of Halfsword, it's not a VR game.
this game shits on vr
VR is the last thing I want on this game tbh, ik a lot of people want it. But Halfsword is not made for VR
@@gyojix I know the mechanics are the game, but I just want the collision physics that everyone else fd up, I want a second game with that "engine"
I don't understand why computer does not do the defense very much. It does not behaves like real human. Is there any P v P scenario?
They do, but they're not perfect, and some are more defensive than others. You just have to play this game to understand that the npc is more complex than it looks.
I just really want to know how you get this loadout.
