Wait, didn't you say originally that he had parried you and riposted with a 2H? I haven't seen the animation of a riposte from a 2H parry, so I don't know if that's the ground pommel effect.

But what is it, you being hit on the ground after a backstab, or a 2H riposte after a parry? Because there's a lot of different factors for varying damage from both, such as ring equipment.

Guess I should've been more specific. My friend kinda jumped to conclusions and said it was a "2h riposte" so I also jumped to conclusions and assumed it was :z 

From what I've tried, there isn't a different animation from doing a riposte while 2handing your wep.

I'm wondering how he did that type of riposte. It looked like a normal one at first, then all the sudden I'm on the ground and he's on top. That's when his char hit me in the face with the pommel of his sword (could've sworn it was a zwei) and took off a massive chunk of my hp. He pulled it off after parrying my black knight axe with a shield.

Could it be the bug/glitch described here? http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/606312-dark-souls/60242926. I have yet to experience it myself, but it does sound rather odd. 

I've never seen such animation, only time I've ever pommeled someone in the ground was after grounding them with a 2H Great Club and doing the leaping attack which turned into a pommel.
