Cheers for this series, been playing the game for a while and now I feel I can put all I've learnt together effectively. I would definitely like more vids explaining spinning attacks and 1vx situations (my downfall lol) keep up the good work! PS: I agree throws are mostly skill, I used to suck throwing but now I try think more consciously about pressing the buttons at exactly the same time and seem to get consistent result however I rarely use this mechanic
I personally love the longsword as it's a very balanced all round weapon that works well in most situations. It's very elegant to wield and has immersive animations especially in 1st person. It has light and fast attacks that when accelled can match one handed swords and axes while dealing significantly more damage. If you are skilled enough to discern what attack is being dealt and counter you should be comfortable against most other weapon types however the Spear, Cavalry Sword and Rapier can have some hard to read animations making for harder opponents. Some heavy weapons like Highland Sword, Maul and Ex Axe and drain your stamina quick if you miss your counters This being said I always use the longsword unless I feel the need to change for a specific enemy
Great video! Being mindful about the most basic aspects is so important! I saw a video of a chinese chef that cleans the kitchen with mop, he does it by hand on his knees. He says by performing such mundane tasks he sharpens his view and it translates to other tasks like preparing the dishes on a plate. It also practices mindfulness. I think stuff like that is often overlooked. I like your attention to detail!
When i was leveling up my katars i changed my controller binds too. All i changed was my overhead attack with my special and used my special as a main attack. Changing your controller binds for ANY game is something you should get used to, you will gradually see the difference in your gameplay. It just takes some gettin used to thats all. Good video buddy 👍🏼
Thank you!! I’m on console and I love this game but it really is unfair, I can’t double feint, throwing doesn’t work 50 percent of the time, I don’t trust the jab, and not to mention the raw performance bonus players get on pc. I relatively new to chiv and finding out that I can’t do things that pc players can do is making me really want to stop playing because I’ll never have an opportunity to be ACTUALLY good at the game. Ps you were in one of my TO lobbies last week and were an absolute menace killed me a few times, I think I managed to trick you up on a feint and kill you but I knew it was luck😂😂😂
I'm glad this one proved informative for you! My next video will be done hopefully in the next few days and double feints (or alt feints, as I call them) occupy a decently sized chunk of it, as will the jab/crouch input.
I started on PS5 and you can do everything you listed on controller. On PS5 hold/press L3 with your attack button to do an alt. To fient from an Alt hold/press block with your 2nd attack. It's hard to find info for this game but don't give up! You can remap the controller buttons, issue is they stay that way for all games as it's on the console itself. I use a BFG pro and have L3 mapped to a button on the back, as well as R3 and Block.
If you are on Xbox I highly recommend using a Elite V2 controller. Binding the back paddles to kick, jab/crouch, stab & overhead. Can not recommend this way to play enough
Thx for the vid. A part 2 would be really usefull. I am sad Tornbanner really dont care about controllers. I also play Mordhau on console and it is really better with a controller. In chivalry, performing a same-attack feint is easier to perform with a m&k which is a shame. I would be really interested in your opinion and tips for combat with a controller
Are you planning on making more Chivalry 2 content? I thought the video was very well made and explained even for a dummy like me 😂. Anyway I have given you a like and follow so hopefully you make some more videos.
Life has been busy but I've started pre-scripting an overall gameplay guide for controller players. I also need to play more so I can get footage and figure out how to visually show some of the things I'd like to talk about, but it is happening. Just not as fast as any of us might like :P
Hey, how often do you find yourself using alternate attacks on a controller? I'm lvl850 and I'm on Xbox and I'm pretty decent. I spend a lot of time in the social servers dueling other veteran players but I never use alternate attacks. The left stick button is just awful and I don't think you can map it to the left paddle. Do you implement these attacks regularly when you play?
Personally I left the alt button where it is because I don't mind it, but you can rebind left stick wherever you like and then bind that input to a paddle. Most controllers with paddles should also be natively capable of binding left stick to one of them, but that depends on the specific controller. You can see in the gameplay I've used that I use a lot of alt slash counters in particular, but I also do a lot of neutral alt stabs and other things. It's really useful for being able to manage your footwork and especially your targets in 1vX.
This was very informative. Yea, I’m interested in controller based combat guides. I’m trying to pull my clan mates over to Chiv2. This will help. Maybe some 3rd person content?
The method for rebinding in the video works perfectly fine on console. On Xbox its done through the Xbox accessories app, on PS its in accessibility settings under the controller tab.
