I believe you have two types of attacks, a slash top down, and a slash to the side. Top down hold your sword flat to block. For a slide slash, hold it straight up. If you can get a block in, then he gets stunned and can't attack, and you should be able to counter. Of course, you need to practice. I found mixing up attacks worked real well. You may want to try the "hoard" mode to get some practice in against a lot of attacks. |
There are more than 2 types of attack, but the blocking angles seem to be less sensitive. this basically kind of reduces the amount of attacks that are possible.
You can stab, up/down, left/right, top right/ bottom left and top left bottom right. So discounting the almost infinite amount of angles there are about 5 different attacks.
The perfect attack involves attack involves slashing along the line of the sword from the tip to the hilt/grip. blocks are normally a perpendicular angle to the line of attack.
The blocking is actually more of a parry, you may not actually be able to directly attack but if an attack is lau nched whilt you have been parried sometimes you are actually able to get in an attack whilst stumbling backward, and ofcourse you can block.
Playing agaisnt the computer or a decent player the waggle is pitiful.
Endure. In enduring, grow strong.
