At first I was really iffy with you, but you've pretty much won me over by using weapons that you can acknowledge are bad as far as the meta goes, but show that if you're good enough and know enough they can be made to work, even if not in the highest level of play. Its nice for those of us that prefer to use the fun, non-tournament weapons. You've got yourself a sub, nice video man.
Allo of Catarina here great fight, your reaction when I pull out gargoyle flame spear + yorm's out of my pocket was beautiful. The meta must be upheld.
To the people who thought this was for the Black Knight Sword and were disappointed to see the BKGS, seriously, read the title. the two variations of the weapon are Black Knight Sword (greatsword) and Black Knight Greatsword (Ultra Greatsword).
Damn, you summon Nuke_Energy like all the time in your videos. It's gotten so frequent that I could remember the name! And sadly he usually loses most of the time so I'm actually glad to see that him get a win at least in this video, even if you blame lag :D
I've been using this baby since the launch day. This is going to be good. There was a combo for this, when offhand weapons were bugged. You could hit 2 L1s with offhand rapier. When they roll away, you can catch them with BKGS 1-handed R1 and combo it. 1100 damage.
My bad, bad terminology. EDIT: Call it synergy instead of true combo? A weapon that is good at making people panic roll + weapon that rollpunishes for 900 damage.
"Astora's > BKGS" scott im curious to your reasoning on that. Astora's is fine and all that but i think that really the best thing it has going for it is its bugged rolling attack (which admittedly is stupidly good). BKGS on the other hand seems to be a much more versatile and overall better UGS imo. It has the vertical slashes while two handed, that fast rolling attack, and just so many bait moves with hyperarmor. Plus idk if you were aware of this but that reverse R2 where you spin it backwards to hit them with the tip of the sword and then keep spinning to hit them with the full attack, it true combos with an R1. Ie you can R1, spin around, hit them with the tip of the R2, keep spinning, and then hit with the full R2 without letting them roll for like 1200 dmg. It's very short range, but still really useful. Plus id argue the weapon art is better than the astora's charge but idk that might just be my preference. Anyways just curious, solid video as always
I would recommend landing the 2-handed R2 and then switching the 1-handed and charging an R2 on wake up. The tracking is amazing so anyone rolling around or behind you will get hit if you slightly charge it and it really does a lot of damage.
Hey btw, you can unequip the knives, start the disable goods cheat (inf consumables), turn that off, and then equip the knives again. I think it should work.
Wow scott, this is a great commentary. I wonder what your future videos will be like and I am excited for the future of the channel! I hope you don't start playing a game where the only leading factor is the fact that they have characters from popular movies and make horrible decisions like selling NFT's!
Does the charged 2 handed R2 have some type of poise in it? Last time i used this wep i would just fully charge R2 & i THINK i almost always managed to hit people without getting interrupted by their attacks.
If the Astora GS goes one more balance batch without the rolling r1 being patched in some way (not "thrust damage" or not r2 damage") then I'm going to say it's straight up intended.
Does the straight sword R2 break hyper armor? I read somewhere that it deals extra 'poise damage', and if poise isn't real in DS3 could it mean hyper armor?
I love bkug, you can always time your hyper armor to hit in between theres so you can get the 2 hit combo. pretty much only reliable against other ultra weapons and halberds, not really against regular greatswords. but bkug breaks greatsword hyper armor anyway
Why am I so bad at pvp in this game? Like, I was decent in Darksouls 2 pvp, but I just take L after L in this one. I feel my reaction time is slow, and I find that I roll into attacks and get destroyed. Any tips to git gud?
Scott everyone in the history of everyone has been wrong about what curved sword has most range on r1, its actually Pontiff knight curved sword, i have tested it myself, test urself if you find it stupid, but it does have longer range on r1's
"Very few ultra greatswords have this vertical moveset" Uh... Fume, Greatsword, Cathedral Knight Greatsword, Black Knight Greatsword. The only ones that don't have it are the Profaned and Lothric Knight Greatsword.
Yes, I say this a few times. It only works if their model is inside of yours such as intercepting a running attack or anything with forward momentum. On anything else, the R1 pushes them too far away and then you've wasted 400 damage trying to do a combo.
That's not actually true, if you aren't locked on you can do it practically 90% of the time. I spent most of my black knight greatsword fights killing people with one combo, because your r1 locks them in long enough for a fully charged r2. Having your camera locked in is what keeps the r2 from connecting properly, at least in my experience.
the initial backwards hit before the follow-up launch has about the same range as a broadsword, so it's not as bad as you think, it just isn't vertical.
The inital knockback of the first hit isn't NEARLY as important as you think provided you aim the 2HR2 properly. Having used this weapon for the majority of ny first playthrough and at LEAST 70 hours of PvP, after awhile aiming the 2HR2 just becomes second nature
+Scooter_____ thanks for the reply man, i do actually have some. i understand you can swap upgrade materials to a reasonable amount without getting banned but does it apply for swapping weapons? and if you get flagged doesn't flag your account so that even with a clean save you'll still be softbanned? thanks again
Scott ... quick question since you're using cheat engine and are not banned (obviously :D): Will I get banned if I just change the name of my character? Does the Banning-Hammer even care what I change about my character of is it only important IF I change something .... I really would like to change my name on my character for cosplay reason.
It's ok. Among the UGS it ain't the worst. The r2 is pretty nasty, and that slam and swing is ridiculously good if/when you can land it. Plus people who know you COULD do it are less inclined to try and put their dong in your butt
Scott, you have to try this, you can drop the Vit and replace the helmet with a sellsword helmet. add the vit back into stamina or something. this is literal cancer. try it. it can oneshot a havel maybe. mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/86778
So, next one is 30, I'm not going to make that silly obvious joke, but, I'm curious, how are you going to name it? UA-cam is stupid about many things, so.... yeah... I dunno, and people don't know roman numbers apparently... hphm, anyway, for some reason I'm expecting to be a meme weapon the next one
camran Yeah, it stops people from being predictable, but it literally pauses the fight for five seconds, and can literally instakill someone. Getting locked in an overly long animation that you can do nothing about ruins the flow.
At first I was really iffy with you, but you've pretty much won me over by using weapons that you can acknowledge are bad as far as the meta goes, but show that if you're good enough and know enough they can be made to work, even if not in the highest level of play. Its nice for those of us that prefer to use the fun, non-tournament weapons. You've got yourself a sub, nice video man.
thank you dude!
Give the man a pen and he'll make it work. But not the Smough's Hammer.
welp, he won 90% of the Smough GH fights in that video.
Well looks like the bullying Scott 'only reacts' Jund meme is dying. It was a good meme -_-7
Pressing r1 until your opponent dies is what you're supposed to do with every weapon Scott
My thoughts exactly.
unless it's a shit dual katana, in which case you L1 and then L2 every time.
DarkestScratch salt
The Biggest, Blackest Greatsword.
Cards against *humanity* lmao
Drill my butthole senpai why
Allo of Catarina here great fight, your reaction when I pull out gargoyle flame spear + yorm's out of my pocket was beautiful. The meta must be upheld.
Artorias cosplay: Ornstein's set, Dark Sword
How is that an artorias cosplay WutFace
Its a joke, kinda like all those guts cosplays with washing pole and artorias' set
And shield of want
why do people use that piece of shit? black knight shield is superior in nearly everything and there are 3 rings that increase equip load
OOo, nice. Buuut i still patiently wait for that fatorias cosplay.
DEAD MEME
I hope he'll never do it.
I'm still patiently waiting for that Havel The Rock cosplay
I'm waiting for that cosplay of me good sir. I think that since Havel came first we should unite under that then unite for the fatorias cosplay.
Havel the Rock Agreed. Scott, FOR FUCKS SAKE ALREADY, MAKE IT SO
To the people who thought this was for the Black Knight Sword and were disappointed to see the BKGS, seriously, read the title. the two variations of the weapon are Black Knight Sword (greatsword) and Black Knight Greatsword (Ultra Greatsword).
Nice video scott. Still waiting for that Havel The Rock cosplay though. Do it, before I'm nerfed like Raime was.
same
Don't be afraid of flying, Scott.
Birds do that shit all the time -- just pretend you're a bird.
"... I'm excited for For Honor." - Scott Jund, 9/24/2016. Oh, how times have changed.
When will you do a cosplay of hark dan, the dark hand man?
The Scholar guy was a Waxshade, another community-made covenant. Been popping up all over Reddit, but the Waxshades actually seem pretty cool.
Damn, you summon Nuke_Energy like all the time in your videos. It's gotten so frequent that I could remember the name! And sadly he usually loses most of the time so I'm actually glad to see that him get a win at least in this video, even if you blame lag :D

My bad, bad terminology.
EDIT: Call it synergy instead of true combo? A weapon that is good at making people panic roll + weapon that rollpunishes for 900 damage.
I don't see how two L1 from an offhand weapon is considered bugged, unless you're talking about pre-adjustment frames.
Tony Parasthesia Yes and I considered it a bug.
just when I think I'm getting good... then I watch you
pfft, looks like someone is too scared to fight us waxshades >_>
"Astora's > BKGS" scott im curious to your reasoning on that.

every since i watched this video i love this weapon! that 2H charged R2 is absolutely amazing!
That piece of bright blue neck under the helmet...
Jumping attack 1 handed into a R2 is nice because the follow up R2 comes up decently fast it's good for catching people of guard once
Tho for some reason you can't do a 2h jumping attack into a 2h R2...for some reason
I would recommend landing the 2-handed R2 and then switching the 1-handed and charging an R2 on wake up. The tracking is amazing so anyone rolling around or behind you will get hit if you slightly charge it and it really does a lot of damage.
Nice ultra greatsword there Scott.... you know Guts also wields one that you can use WHEN YOU FINALLY COSPLAY HIM!
Woah a guts cosplay? That's never been done before.
Never indeed
Hey btw, you can unequip the knives, start the disable goods cheat (inf consumables), turn that off, and then equip the knives again. I think it should work.
DANCER NARRATED COSPLAY DUUUUUELS
BUT THE WEAPONS ARE SHIIIIIIIIT
ITS TRUEEEEE THE WEAPONS ARE IN FACT SHIIIIIIIIT. BUT AT LEAST THEY LOOK COOL. AND L1 L2 R2 COMBO IS SEMI-GOOD. I DON'T KOW WHY I AM SCREAMING!!!!!!
That hasn't stopped him before!
But not before Havel The Rock's cosplay.
Joshua Reed NO THEY ARE NOT, GIT GUD AND L2P AND BLA BLA
Kristian Rachew WE'RE SCREAMING TO BE HEARD OVER SMOUGH WHO SPAMS FATORIAS AND Havel The Rock
6:58 that casual reaction was the funniest thing, i dont know why
At 23:00 you couldnt backstab bc you werent even on his back? That happens to me alot too.
Nice episode of Dark Rolls 3 PvP
Scott Jund: "Friend"
Scott is Oroboro confirmed?
Wow scott, this is a great commentary. I wonder what your future videos will be like and I am excited for the future of the channel!
I hope you don't start playing a game where the only leading factor is the fact that they have characters from popular movies and make horrible decisions like selling NFT's!
Does the charged 2 handed R2 have some type of poise in it? Last time i used this wep i would just fully charge R2 & i THINK i almost always managed to hit people without getting interrupted by their attacks.
it has hyperarmor ,yes.
i think all the black knight weapons have more hyperarmor than the other weapons in their class
Do Havel next!
NO
Reported
I'll stand in support of Havel if he does Fatorias right after. We square, Rock?
Scott will never do Havel or Fatorias! Deal with it Havel/Smough!
Joe Kewl Yeah, I just want Havel to happen and we really all should unite for one or the other. Havel has been suggested way before Fatorias.
So early only one resolution is available. Still HD tho, which is nice.
"Return of the king, from Minnesota"
I think you mean return of the Viking.
If the Astora GS goes one more balance batch without the rolling r1 being patched in some way (not "thrust damage" or not r2 damage") then I'm going to say it's straight up intended.
Youre the kind of people i like to play with
So Scott when do we get that archer Pharis cosplay?
But is it as edgy as the executioners great sword? I don't think so, and if you don't have fashion or edge, how can you expect to win a single duel?
This will always be my favorite weapon because of the space launch.
Does the straight sword R2 break hyper armor? I read somewhere that it deals extra 'poise damage', and if poise isn't real in DS3 could it mean hyper armor?
Weapon art R2*
This is the first time watching while not at work. Stop posting on the weekends.
I have a non-meme question; are you planning to use every single weapon in ds3 or are you going to skip the not so great weapons, like the scimitar?
Scott, you should do a Demon's Greataxe Narrated Thought Duel
Basicly a yhorm's that is shorter and has 2hr1s that combo with a bad weapon art which he will never use
The weapon art isn't that bad.
its too slow and predictible like dragonslayer ga weapon art
I'd say it's a little bit less predictable, and it also has tracking.
it doesnt need any tracking its a 360 degree flame burst and easy to dodge by rolling backwards
I love bkug, you can always time your hyper armor to hit in between theres so you can get the 2 hit combo. pretty much only reliable against other ultra weapons and halberds, not really against regular greatswords. but bkug breaks greatsword hyper armor anyway
How about the Rapier next? Its weapon art makes it a surprisingly viable weapon
I feel For Honour will have the same style content releases as Rainbow 6 Siege, since that was one of the most recent releases.
Why am I so bad at pvp in this game? Like, I was decent in Darksouls 2 pvp, but I just take L after L in this one. I feel my reaction time is slow, and I find that I roll into attacks and get destroyed. Any tips to git gud?
You can make the one handed r2s work buy unlocking and turning. The turn speed is insane.
Scott everyone in the history of everyone has been wrong about what curved sword has most range on r1, its actually Pontiff knight curved sword, i have tested it myself, test urself if you find it stupid, but it does have longer range on r1's
I thought this was Back Knight Sword, the actual Greatsword, not the Ultra GS. I am disappoint.
"Very few ultra greatswords have this vertical moveset"
Uh... Fume, Greatsword, Cathedral Knight Greatsword, Black Knight Greatsword. The only ones that don't have it are the Profaned and Lothric Knight Greatsword.
does he know that the r1 combos into the r2
Yes, I say this a few times. It only works if their model is inside of yours such as intercepting a running attack or anything with forward momentum. On anything else, the R1 pushes them too far away and then you've wasted 400 damage trying to do a combo.

enough for a fully charged r2.
Having your camera locked in is what keeps the r2 from connecting properly, at least in my experience.
That is completely wrong. it doesnt matter how unlocked you are if they are knocked out of range with the first R1.
the initial backwards hit before the follow-up launch has about the same range as a broadsword, so it's not as bad as you think, it just isn't vertical.
The inital knockback of the first hit isn't NEARLY as important as you think provided you aim the 2HR2 properly. Having used this weapon for the majority of ny first playthrough and at LEAST 70 hours of PvP, after awhile aiming the 2HR2 just becomes second nature
Wait, Yhorm's and offhand Gargoyle Flame Spear is a meta combination now?
It was for quite some time
hey scott do you use cheat engine to item swap or that would get you banned? like swapping for soul items and weapons
+Scooter_____ thanks for the reply man, i do actually have some. i understand you can swap upgrade materials to a reasonable amount without getting banned but does it apply for swapping weapons? and if you get flagged doesn't flag your account so that even with a clean save you'll still be softbanned? thanks again
+Scooter_____ i'm using mobile no clue how
Scott please use the Twin Princes Greatsword next
Scott, why is it only in HD? Just wondering.
So is the Undead Great wood copay coming out soon or what?
terrified of flying? Why? Planes are safe as hell scott :(. I Love helicopters and planes fam. Dreams to be a pilot
I burn up a ring slot for untrue ring, I hope I'm good lol
How come he's not being invaded in that little arena area?
You dont get invaded until you go further in the level.
that is very rare to get invaded by a red phantom in there without a summon for aldrich's you need to get to giants arena
I get invaded there all the time. Such as when I'm hosting a club.
black knight for the win
Scott you probably won't see this but use the pike!!! Gives the gargoyle a run for its money and get 450 ar on a 40/40 quality.
Scott ... quick question since you're using cheat engine and are not banned (obviously :D): Will I get banned if I just change the name of my character? Does the Banning-Hammer even care what I change about my character of is it only important IF I change something .... I really would like to change my name on my character for cosplay reason.
I'm not Scott, but as long as you don't change your character's stats or give yourself more souls, I think you'll be ok.
Yep, as long as you're not giving yourself an unfair advantage, you'll normally be okay.
DamnNoNewVideo :(.
Black Knight Swag Sword
try following up the 2 handed r1 with a jumping attack.
Best ugs in the game. Period.
Black K***ht Hype!
This weapon is beast IMO.
It's ok. Among the UGS it ain't the worst. The r2 is pretty nasty, and that slam and swing is ridiculously good if/when you can land it. Plus people who know you COULD do it are less inclined to try and put their dong in your butt
how he uses infinite objects??
Does he have infinite items?
Yiss I love this weapon
My name is Scott too bro!!!!
what are you using for infinite items
cheat engine
Which one though, I would like to not be banned from dark souls
The one that doesn't get you banned, duh
What? What? Where the fuck is Smough?! I haven't seen him in fucking videos!
INFINITE THROWING KNIVES?
Why u have infinite estus
use throwing knives only!!! be a throwing knight!
I heard for honor was releasing characters bi weekly
Scott, you have to try this, you can drop the Vit and replace the helmet with a sellsword helmet. add the vit back into stamina or something. this is literal cancer. try it. it can oneshot a havel maybe.
mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/86778
DotA champions? Added on a regular basis? Boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
So, next one is 30, I'm not going to make that silly obvious joke, but, I'm curious, how are you going to name it? UA-cam is stupid about many things, so.... yeah... I dunno, and people don't know roman numbers apparently... hphm, anyway, for some reason I'm expecting to be a meme weapon the next one
How do I cook a potato
Fartorias for smough
HOW??
BKGS R2 is literally a massively better version of stomp
you should do a throwing knife only video, unlimited consumables is cheating but who's gonna complain when they're getting hit for ~40 damage
>implying two rapiers isn't also mashing r1 Kappa
I've always hated Tears of Denial. It's the "I hate losing, so here's one guaranteed survived hit" spell. Kinda cheap, imo.
Hi
isn't this in fact a cosplay video?
nvm caestus
That Aragorn guy is disappointing, hes not even cosplaying
0/10, no Black K***ht Shield.
nice hacking
Parries are a terrible system.
nah
Yah.
I feel like they punish people for being predictable, but are not too broken as in you cannot parry spam and win.
camran Yeah, it stops people from being predictable, but it literally pauses the fight for five seconds, and can literally instakill someone. Getting locked in an overly long animation that you can do nothing about ruins the flow.
i dont think parries in theirselves are bad , its the one hit ko riposte thats a terrible system
succ
No shield? Incomplete cosplay 4/10
Don't care. Using sword with armor but no shield. Incomplete.
