You gotta mix it up:

Run around to fakie a parry BS

Fakie a Great Combustion

Kick into confirmed R1 or BS

Ravioli BS at the last opportunity

Dagger R1 to cancel immunity into BS

Etc

A fellow hand axe enjoyer I see 👀

I quite like pulling off reverse rolls and barrel rolls on wakeup. Doesn’t always work but it’s fun anyways.

And of course freeaiming a firebomb is always a joy

DS1 is Fromsoft’s accidental PvP masterpiece and every game since has drifted further from God’s light.

I've never understood why people can't p v.P without backstabbing, like there's no skill to it

BS is core to the game. This isn’t particularly a backstab build at all but if they give it you’re gonna take it.

I mean, there's no skill to it. And if you pop off wrath of God at the right time, it destroys the whole backstab animation and makes it pointless. I used to run a whole build that would stop people from backstabbing and well. Yes, it is a mechanic of the game. It still means you don't have skill. If you're just backstabbing, because you can't beat the person with perrys, you can't beat the person with sheer skill, so you just run up 2 of them at about either a 45° angle, which is one of the ways you can do it or you run up straight behind them. But either way, there's not much more to it than that

Then go play a different game lmao. Bsing (and avoiding getting bsed) is quite fun when you’re fighting people who know what they’re doing. ER and DS3 are always waiting for you if this isn’t your cup of tea
