I recently grabbed the game for this month's free PS Plus Games. This is the tutorial I needed the game to show me. It explains all of my doubts about this subject. Thank you so much for this detailed and calm tutorial. At least now, I'm beginning to understand the uses of these.
@@StripedSweater What's the difference between a yellow counter success and a blue counter success? And why does it sometimes say "successful block" and "riposte"? Aren't those two the same?
Started a few days ago and was wondering why some counters didn't work when I knew the timing was perfect. Had no idea you had to use the same type of attack! 1 year later and you're still helping people!
This video is still helping new players like me understand the mechanics of this amazing game. Thank you so much for a clear and thorough explanation of everything! We appreciate your hard work! 😄
I've watch so many videos trying to learn chiv 2. The way you explain and the examples are way better than anything else I've watched, its not even close.
Awesome video very very helpful, thank you. I absolutely love this game but I’m terrible at it. I panic, lose most of my stamina… and shortly after my head. 😅 but it’s such a fun game! ⚔️
Very nice video, I just started chivalry 2 and I love it but sometimes it was so hard to fight against experienced enemies. I now practice the counter and with your video it's much easier
This is easily the best tutorial for basic I’ve seen. Usually it’s just people showing off claiming to inform. Well done my lord. I subscribe to your banner.
Best video ever, i knew all that already from my own experience, but you explained everything so detailed and good in just a few minutes, was a great tutorial, Subscribed!❤
@StripedSweater, you deserve it, bro. I'm in KRT clan, and I did send your video on the discord chat for the squires and beginners. Is easier for the ones who doesn't understand English to see exactly step by step how is done.❤
6:58 Benefit of countering a heavy. Sometimes they cannot defend themselves fast enough depending on how they manipulated their swing. Whether it was an accel or drag. Since your are throwing an attack while they are still within their attack animation sometimes you just get free damage
Absolutely banger content, you cover every single detail. Do you intend to create a video about fainting and the importance of slow attacks? I think new players sees them as merely "baiting counter tools" or like "why would I do them if I can just spam fast attacks instead" so they end up never using them, but they're so useful to bypass the parry hitbox (heavy overhead + drag)
I had no idea the combat had so much depth. I dropped For Honor for this a few months ago because that games gone to shit but this is so much better anyways. Nice video man.
Same. For Honor feels too woke for me now even after they first launch Marching Fire for the chinese investors, now they're just fully catering to memes like it's Fortnite. Even after 2 years, I regret not picking this game up when it released. The game is far simpler in controls but just as complex as the combat because every movement counts and seems fair enough.
Would be nice if the servers would always work. For me it is a 50/50 chance to get a good server or get delays in everything. Input, counters, hit registration...
CMW music theme, CMW knights and archer voices, do you want me to learn something or to burst into tears of nostalgy? jokes aside, great guide! I thought that my 150 hours taught me well, but I didnt know about arrow counter and that fact, that heavies doesnt stop on counter. Also, rumours say that you can counter flying fire pot... Too bad there is no proof in vid, would be nice to know for sure
It is definitely cheesy and goes against the rest of the combat logic in the game. Essentially if you get hit, you should not be able to strike back if your opponent is preparing a combo swing as you dont have initiative.
Wait, the slashes etc dont need to be mirrored exactly? I've been trying to train my eyes to recognise right and left sided slashes and then pressing the corresponding button...often incorrectly. This makes things much more simple!
I got a bit lost towards the end, how do you counter feint? A counter is when you block and match the same attack as the enemy right? So what is a feint of that, just blocking again?
Think of it like feinting any other swing. For regualr swings you input an attack, then during windup input a different attack to feint into. For a counter feint you simply start the counter and then input a different swing type during the counter windup. This allow you to correct a mistaken counter attempt without getting punished. You can also use it as a mixup on your opponent. Counter their attack successfully then feint that attack into a different one to stop them from countering you back. 😄
preciate the video broski, I wanna get gud at this game but everyone's been playing it for so long now i'm getting wrecked. Hopefully I can learn this shit and cut some heads off.
It is possible to counter a heavy attack with a light one. You just have to be careful that you dont counter too soon. Since the heavy attack takes longer to come out, if you react to quickly with a counter of your own, their attack might bypass your counter window. Just need to delay your counter attempt if you anticipate a heavy swing. If you accidently counter to early against someone doing a heavy attack you can feint your counter into the same swing in order to catch them 😁
I dont believe that it extends the parry window but it definitely carries the current active parry window into the feinted counter. This allows you some protection while feinting your swing for a mixup.
The stamina thing is KIND of overrated considering you can just pick your weapon back up again, or use 2ndary, get some clever foot work in there, maybe special attack- unarmed to stop their attack, pick up you weapon, or duck their swing, then you are back in business again.
Not at all tf yes u can recover but u take massive damage getting ur weapon knocked away from u and smart players will push you harder and not let you get the weapon u dropped
Try to maneuver your swing to get around your opponent's block. You can use feints to bait them one way and hit them from another. Block protects people from the front but not their sides or back, so keep practicing that footwork! Can always try and drain their stamina enough too so they can't block.
Oh how I wish you showed your mouse and keyboard like you did in some other clips. I simply cannot make counters because I can't get the right mouse+keyboard combination. I simply cannot find a tutorial where it show step by step where and how to press. :(
Its not rocket science. If they do an overhead attack, push your button for overhead attacks. Same for swings... and stabs. Whats so hard to understand??? The more you play, the easier it will get
This video series should be stickied on the front page of the game
Thanks bud, glad you're enjoying them!
Never, let the scrubs figure it out LMAO
@@vincentlee7359 You say that until they are on your team being dead weight.

@@SuperCatacata well thats like 50% of the team after gamepass happened. eh what can you do?
I'm level 110 and never realised you could counter arrows. Thankyou, this will make my archer murdering antics much more fruitful.

@@frozenheroe3771 watch the video bro
All this information transfers incredibly well to the console versions of chiv2.
Definitely gonna send this to a few buddies I got to download chiv2.
I never knew that a counter had to be the same type of attack, I was always confused when sometimes counters didn't work, but now I know

You should get paid by Chivalry for that video. Super helpful to understand that fight process and make it more fun ! Thank YOU
Awesome video very very helpful, thank you.

So we can stop an arrow with a counter all the time and the game's tutorial never told us, that’s amazing
I swear this is the best explanation I found I was so confused about the combat and now its all clear

Those topics are definitely on my radar for potential videos! Thanks for the kind words!
The clearest explanation of this system. Thank you! I get it now
I’ve came back to his video countless of times
Thanks for the video! I kind of BSed my way through the tutorial, and I can't find a way to go back to practice
now i understand why most of time i suck in 1v1. as a new player i have to say THANK YOU!!

so many gems throughout this video, especially in the Things to Note section at the end regarding Counters - thanks Brother! =)

Best counter explanation yet and sadly when I'm finally understanding them recently on my own after seeing many bad videos about it haha.
This is great Stright to it. Love it that you show us as talk about it. Very easy to understand. Still struggling but this really helped.
Of all videos you make this simple
Thanks for this! I didn't even know about 'active parrying'. My bravery just got boosted.
Great video. I just got the game and this has helped me understand counters way better than the in game or other videos I've watched
Thank you for explaining this so clearly and concisely. This will really help me in game. (Only started playing today) GG
Great video man, I have more than 130 hours play time in steam but still learned new things👍
Man, you enlighted me! Cant figure out how to play with this untill i see your video! Thank you man! ❤
Good stuff. I’m really enjoying this game. Young level 22 but I still make the top half of my team points. I’m going to be deadly soon

This game is such a learning curve but I’m loving it (I’m on console so I’m already at a disadvantage)
I watched this video, and well I done it. I countered an archers arrow while running them down 😂😂😂
Thanks for the video definitely taking some notes
This is an incredible video, omg, thank you so much!
Incredibly detailed video thank you !
This is very very good video bro
Top tier class, congratulations!
Well done video sir. I'm still trying to master this. I'm learning still. Doing good though.
Time stamps awesome intro. Incredible quality dude
those tutorials are fantastic. Thank you
For the Order!!!!!!!!!!!
For the blue and gold
For that guy we like!!
10:55 that is the reason why i call all the one handed weapons broken. It isn't supposed to be like that, right?!

Very useful tips, thanks for the video!
Its amazing, seriously ❤
This is the way
Great quality video content is great way you explain it is great good job keep up the good work can’t wait to see what is next
make more guides they're so useful
Fantastic video!
Thanks for this

It’s chess. Especially those 10 second fights where you and the enemy are completely in sync and reading each others moves.

top notch video
ive been playing for like 20 hours and had no idea how important countering was LMAO

i have 250 hours in chiv and im still watching this
1400 hrs and rewatching
Such a Great video, watched too many times lol! =)
thanks hombre
very very good video thx alot
New subs here, thanks man very nice guide, keep up good work!
Watched this cuz I thought I was confused on the concept but no I got it exactly right yet countering and riposte in actual gameplay hardly ever work
Might sound kinda funny but you've taught me a ton and I'm rank 176
Glad I could help!
this is why i subbed
I’m quit new to the game came out on game pass trying to get good
thanks bruh
Thank you
10/10 great content
Thanks man!
after 8:55 i`m completely lost, without practicing this
Yea me too i'm watching this at 3:30 am in bed un able to play i have no idea what hes talking about 😂
very helpful
Damn good tutorial. Ty
How do you feint a counter? Aside from morphing?
I've watched this video weeks ago and been very useful for my duels.
by any chance, can light attacks counter a heavy attack? I assume that it can't
It is possible to counter a heavy attack with a light one. You just have to be careful that you dont counter too soon. Since the heavy attack takes longer to come out, if you react to quickly with a counter of your own, their attack might bypass your counter window. Just need to delay your counter attempt if you anticipate a heavy swing. If you accidently counter to early against someone doing a heavy attack you can feint your counter into the same swing in order to catch them 😁
@@StripedSweater Ah i see, thank you for the reply!
I guess my timing is wrong? I get the blue for counter, but they’re still able to block my attack?
great vid
How do you counter an arrow ? With the slash input (rmb)?
You can counter any projectile with any type of counter. Slash, stab, or overhead, whatever you like 😁
Great content BTW. I learned a few things in this one 👌
It's a shame it is probably the least to never used counter ever.
Good content bro
Is there ever a reason to block without going into riposte\counter?
Do they call it a claymore in this game too? Looks like the claymore from fromsoft games.
I don't understand what the point of countering and reposteing is when everyone is fast enough to just block it anyway.
stamina
thanks very explainitive
this is as detailed as the fallout new vegas videos
you should have a million subs . im shocked that you don't ..
Fucking stellar content !
Thank you for this vid. :)
Countering Arrows... Wow
🙏🏻
If you faint after you've countered does that extend the parry window?
I dont believe that it extends the parry window but it definitely carries the current active parry window into the feinted counter. This allows you some protection while feinting your swing for a mixup.
@@StripedSweater hmm I always get hit when I stare at another person after fainting a counter.
The stamina thing is KIND of overrated considering you can just pick your weapon back up again, or use 2ndary, get some clever foot work in there, maybe special attack- unarmed to stop their attack, pick up you weapon, or duck their swing, then you are back in business again.
Not at all tf yes u can recover but u take massive damage getting ur weapon knocked away from u and smart players will push you harder and not let you get the weapon u dropped
I followed your advice and absolutely demolished a server 3 times in a row.
Glad to hear it bud! Keep SLAYING 💪
I counter (yellow shield) every time and then hit a swing button but almost always enemy blocks it.
What I do wrong?
Try to maneuver your swing to get around your opponent's block. You can use feints to bait them one way and hit them from another. Block protects people from the front but not their sides or back, so keep practicing that footwork! Can always try and drain their stamina enough too so they can't block.

on 8:57, how do you do same attack counter feint on different side? i’m on Xbox level 200 and still don’t know how to do that.
