Half Sword Playtest - Tutorial - Passive Parry

Half Sword Playtest - Tutorial - Passive Parry This is my second guide in regards to parrying/defensive play in the Half Sword Playtest. If you haven't seen the first one, I would recommend to check it out if you're confused about anything. *** First Video: *** https://youtu.be/sz0o8Ewks-Y?si=9u29S2WTEZeO_iaU This is mostly just to expand on what was dubbed a "passive parry". A passive parry is letting your character move and make adjustments to the guard independently of your inputs. An "active parry" is when you actively swing towards the opponents attack in order to beat it away. I'd like to do another video on active parrying specifically and one on pseudo mastercuts in the future, but it will depend on on the performance of the tutorials in general! I appreciate everyone's support and please, if you have questions reach out to me on the discord or drop a comment. I put a lot of pressure on myself to be original with content and putting these together from scratch is not something I'm used to, so I apologize if anything is confusing. But again, thank you. ---------------- *** CHAPTERS *** 00:00 Intro 0:45 Passive Parry Example 1:04 Passive Parry Zone 2:05 The Why 2:34 Reading Bots 3:25 Weapon Placement 3:58 Anecdotes 4:23 Injury 4:38 Outro/Next Video ---------------- Bl00d and g0re is temporarily disabled due to an event in Tokyo. The devs will be showing the game off there. It also had to be reworked due to the physics changes from previous builds ( afaik ). The Half Sword playtest is available on the Steam Store page. In order to play the playtest you must request access under the demo section. Access is usually granted fairly quickly, but be patient, it will come!
