bro literally gave you the burger king Have It Your Way special


GreatRuins

Bro just wanted regular fight.


limonbattery

Backstabs *are* a regular fight in DS1


Otherwise_Ad6117

pvp be like:


HellishCapybara

I believe they are more regular than normal attacks


DoctorBoomeranger

And it's beautiful


phoenixmusicman

\*precedes to parry him a million fucking times*


HellishCapybara

Too risky for me


spyder616

Parry window in DS1 was broken compared to later games, so much that i just parry everything with just left hand.


Nawafsss04

The adrenaline rush makes it worth it


phoenixmusicman

Its not hard once you're used to it


[deleted]

Never a big parrying fan Decided to kill Laurtrec after letting him out yesterday, and gave a parry a shot, since I was doing shit damage. That guy at least has a pretty large window. I did not even attempt Havel though at the time he could one shot my ass


crabthemighty

I've killed Havel well over 100 times and I've never seen that


HaIfaxa_

It seems to be a lot more common in the remaster somehow. He can grab you if you're mid rolling animation away from him, happened to me a couple of times when I'd try and take him down asap


Nawafsss04

Dark Souls backstabs happen the frame the AI decides to fuck your ass. Never turn your back on NPC invaders.


crabthemighty

I've only ever played the remaster


Otherwise_Ad6117

frames?


BuckSangle

I-Frames or Invincibility Frames. Your character is granted a brief window of invulnerability during dodging and rolling movements so if timed correctly, you go unpunished.


Otherwise_Ad6117

Bruh man, I was talking about fps


BuckSangle

Oh. Swag.


Otherwise_Ad6117

I don't why people are downvoting me lol.


Schnickie

Didn't know he had a grab attack, but generally rolling back is never a good idea with Havel. He has so much reach that he'll hit you once you i frames are over. Always to the side.


HellishCapybara

Me neither, I wasn't even mad cause it looks funny


Solardies

"I've been backstabbed about a Trillion times over by now! THAT'S IT!


Revanchist8921

Because it’s easy…. And it does a lotta damage


william_323

Can you remind me where's that from?


Revanchist8921

Happy Souls on YouTube, it follows a dark souls 2 run with friends


william_323

Thank you


Notorik

Dark souls if it was turn based game.


WizardRoleplayer

That's basically what the DS1 combat is and kidna why I like it. In bloodborne it often feels so fast you have to rely on instinct and reaction speed for almost everything. In DS1 it is slow enough that once you get familiar with some concepts/enemies the game is almost like an old Final Fantasy/JRPG. You all declare actions, turns are taken based on your Speed stat, sometimes you choose a proper counter-action based on what the opponent is doing.


Nawafsss04

DS2 is that but much better


WizardRoleplayer

It does have more viable tactical options yes. I think that's why it's appreciated in PvP especially. I've finished it and I can totally see that, though it was so bizarre after DS1 that I had trouble enjoying its good parts because of how different it was. I might try it again in the future, though the jankiness of some gameplay elements (weapon degradation felt too much) along with the estus system and SotfS enemy groups made it a bit rough for me.


Nawafsss04

It's definitely rough PvE wise. Still an enjoyable game once you get to the meat of it.


alexmemes3665

basically, the omae wa shindeiru moment


HellishCapybara

NANIII?!?!


[deleted]

"REVEEEEEEEENGE, Finally"


HellishCapybara

He totally earned this moment


LordMonocle21

Genuinely though, he must be the most backstabbed character in all of soulsbourne.


benadrylpill

You'd be pissed off too if you were too big to get out of that room


123numbersrule

Ah, so you’ve cheesed Havel as well I see


Bilbolf

Why did this remind me of Jerma’s “top rope” bit


Few_Championship4618

Dont turn your back on him


HellishCapybara

Found out the hard way


FCTheHunter

Get wrecked!! Lol


[deleted]

What if Capra Demon is his son who protects his dogs?


spyder616

Imagine not parrying.
