Ghost Strike

mmm napkins

 

EDIT: I'm an idiot this was posted in the wrong thread.

I really do find it sad that most of the various exploits found in this game seem to favor a few styles of play... but im still gonna try this a few times.

also... I think this trick could be very fun on whips.... I think i'll try testing that as if the technique is particularly effective with whips the parry option is out the window, of course bs's would still work but I hope I can get this to help one of my favorite weapon classes.

Holy crap, this is gonna be crazy if you use whips, thanks for pointing that out,I use whips all the time and this is gonna make them even better.

I Have an amazing revolutionary idea to stem the growing tide of this preposterous, advantageous, and cataclysmic glitch. Fight begins: Upon seeing your opponent attempting to land this game breaking glitch initiate the pressing of your triangle button, or if your on Xbox use it's equivalent. Using your weapon in two hands Proceed to out maneuver your opponent and release an onslaught of attacks effectively rendering his first tactic useless. It then becomes a mostly fair fight. Unless your build revolves around the usage of a shield. In which case you must find your own answer.. iv got mine.

your description of this tech is stupid, Reverse Roll is way nastier then this lol

Zeta may have been intending a bit of satire with some of the words he used.

Tolvo's right it's just...
I'm bad at sarcasm

I sort of picked it up from the hyperbole.

I rarely use a shield in PvP, and even when I do, I move constantly, always fast rolling, looking for a place to strike.  The people this will really hurt are new players who turtle out of fear during an invasion.  When they realize their shield isn't protecting them, they'll get pretty frustrated.

I don't see a problem with it really.

It's there, you don't have to use it, but other people can use it if they want to. They aren't any less of a person for using it, they're just taking advantage of what is there to be used.

Dead angling has existed forever in Dark Souls, I'm sure another method of dead angling isn't the end of the world.
