All right someone explain the "strategy" behind fighting the knights in that game

I need to hear it because I hate them

The best strategy to fight them was to hit them at the maximum distance away from your sword.  Since your sword had a minor reach advantage.  So if you managed to always time your first swing with the knight advance you could keep the distance.  The other strategy I needed to use against the blue knights (since their distance attack would severely screw you up), was to always perform the counter swing, that you would never be when you both swing at the same time.

As for the high low stuff, I always seemed more succesful by swing and ducking at the same time, although some of the later knights were pretty quick and just required more patience.

 

Fighting 2 knights in front of you was really hard and was nearly impossible to not get hit, but you need to try to use my first technique mentioned to keep you fighting only one at a time.

 

Now when you managed to get in between 2 knights, just try to get out of there.

 

actually, my favorite blue-knight strategy was to push them off the edge of the screen so you could just walk by.

But if that wasn't an option, jump stabbing still works.

But if you are going to play fair, both your suggestions sound good

 

There were plenty of cheap strategies to use if you wanted to try and do that.  There were far to many place where you could push knights off, there were also many places you could trap the knights betweeen you and a down sword attack that would eventually clip into an almost instant kill.
