Comfy video. The classic RPG fantasy playstyle given its proper respect! Your high-energy spinning has a real old ChaseTheBro feel to it. Also, the Wolf shield introduced by the DLC, along with the oathseeker set, really gives an old Souls vibe. So glad you used that aesthetic. Very enjoyable. Subscribed.
Bro thinks he's happy feet (2006) Insane jukes my man, i'm not even fighting you and just seeing you hit the Seizure Stride™ sent me into a panic attack. 10/10.
YO i fought you in the colloseum the other day, the moment you perfect blocked the shit out of me i knew it was you. I was using zweihander and then kgs and was rocking marais mask. Your unique and also off meta playstyle is so refreshing to look at!
Ngl that erdtree shield swap was diabolical im gonna add that to my snb playstyle as well Also yea I was a huge snb invader duelist before the patch so this new patch is def gonna feel nice, especially with the Warhawk talon r2 and the medium shield guard buff
I don’t have the patience to play this game anymore I’ve learned all the pvp techniques, really enjoyed tthat process, and now I’m just burned out, I don’t have the drive any more to play this stupid game, there’s so many aspects of pvp that need attention yet fromsoft has proved they are not in tune with the pvp community and not interested in improving it in spite of pvp keeping the game alive. That seems like such a huge missed opportunity. I watch your videos and you seem so focused and passionate about pvp. I’ve lost that I don’t have the energy to even try anymore. I appreciate your videos dude
Me: I wish we had one more attack with our weapons so we had more options. Fromsoft: What if we just sped up r2s a little so they aren't trash. Best patch since the poise rework. I didn't know Golden Retaliation worked against moonveil.
Quick question: I practiced perfect block for a day and managed to land it pretty often. But I noticed that I lost a ton of stamina. Against bigger weapon types I lost so much that I couldn't perform any action afterwards. In the video I realized that you lose no stamina. Is it becuase of the shield? I always used a greatsword for the tech.
It has to do with hit boxes. 2 things can occur; a perfect block, and an IPE (irregular poise event). Both have the same effect of ignoring hit stun/block animation. When I actually block with the shield (their attack makes contact with the shield), I take NO damage but I DO take stamina damage. You can also hear the block sound. When their attack hit box doesn’t make contact with the shield, I DO take damage but I don’t take any stamina damage. There is no block sound. Watch the first clip. The first and third interaction are IPEs, while the second interaction is a perfect block.
@@WaZeusPvP Thanks for clarification! So that actually means that you want to get hit and receive HP-damage whenever the enemy wields weapons that deal high stamina damage (i.e. colossals) but receive stamina damage instead whenever the stamina damage is expected to be low or whenever you have a high blocking power (i.e. with a shield). So when I want to perform a perfect block against colossals I should use a shield. Against someone with for example the greatkatana I can use a weapon to perfect block. Right?
I suppose, but in reality it’s hard to simply try and go for either one or the other. If you have low stam and/or guard boost, you run the risk of getting guard broken (even if you’re only going for IPEs). I always run high end + viridian tali anyways, and even greatshield tali if I’m really going for perfect blocks. (Also keep in mind you will take more chip damage blocking with a weapon vs a shield)
As someone who has over a thousand hours in each iteration o these games, this is some NASTY gameplay; very high level stuff here. We don't see this kind of skill much, if at at all. I'd be willing to bet you're in the top 0.1% of players.
I get that running around spazzing out in circles while constantly croutching is the optimal way to play, but it will never not irritate me to see it. It reminds me if wallbouncing in gears of war and just kinda ruins the immersion and visual flow of a battle.
@@WaZeusPvP just throwing it out there…I love your fashion and def copy the style in my gameplay…with that being said…Banished Knight Unaltered / Black Knight Chest / Black Knight gloves / Greaves of Solitude / Serpent Crest Shield with any one hand or two hand if needed looks pretty dope. Again…Ty for the content and inspiring me to follow your lead in pvp!
@@bluelink142 It's more like a weird interaction between the running and blocking animations. You're supposed to press block at the exact moment you stop pressing the run button and at the right time to block the attack.
they call "perfect block tech" like its some hidden intend mechanic of the game but its a nice way to call a glitch or exploit like estus cancel (nothing honorable). the only way to legit perfect block is drinking the deflect hardtear.
@@mcdd1180 I have never really been a fan of stuff like what he is showing in the video. People who argue for it always say "well its in the game, im gonna use it" I never understood that concept to much, in regards to pvp or competitive situations. It operates outside of the Developers design and vision for the game, meaning it turns into an inherent advantage over others unless they themselves do it. It rubs me the wrong way. Im not condeming or condoning, now that i know what it is I am 100% not using this.
@@mcdd1180 Yeah, like the hardswapping exploit or worst of all, the spacing exploit. Something referred to as a "tech" is almost always unintended and could be considered an exploit, all the way back to something like wavedashing in Smash (and wavedashing in this game for that matter). That's why I didn't just call it "perfect block". There are some exploits that are actually harmful for the game (and those are often the ones that get patched in ER like the helmet toggle infinite heal or Fire's Deadly Sin chaincast), but the reality is that some stuff like this adds depth and skill ceiling to the game without really doing much harm. The question is if perfect block wasn't in the game, do you think WaZeus would have lost those fights? Tech like this just adds another layer of skill expression for people who are already really good at the game.
This dude doesn’t have thumbs he has tentacles
😳
Can be useful in more than 1 way.
basics and fundamental skill since Dark soul 1 & "2".
not impressiv at all nugget
@@TUROCK320 I am noob to thses games..Is there any tutorial which teaches movements and tactics..Basics?
@@djdjhxsj4140 yes you have.
I learn on youtube guide vidéo by thé msked clan. 15 years old vidéo guide on dark soul 1, 2.
Have fun
Was just saying this the other day, after 1.14 dropped, feels really nice to be able to do a right proper S&B again.😁😎👍
Consider adding hand cam or something that shows inputs, because you are amazing.
Bro you're cracked. Also that last fight was crazy
The pure skill omg. I have never once seen someone play this well
Not the greatshield swap you disrespected that wizard 🫢
Those kick mix ups are awesome, I never see anyone use that ash.
It's like bro has quickstep built in on every weapon. Never seen backstabs like that, crazy good
It's 'easier' to do it with joystick (consoles), you can do full circle easily with your thumb. On PC (keyboard and mouse) it's a bit of pain.
4:50 jesus those talisman swap
4:55 holy, that talisman pre-swap was so clean.
Insane!
Waz spaces like he’s in seamless on vanilla incredible
I don't think I've seen this name perfect blocks in 12 years of playing these games. Insane.
Love the kick combos too
1:35 bro that strafe…
It gotta be his upstairs neighbord for a connexion like that
Beautiful gameplay! love the octopath traveler music as well.
so fun to watch thank you for sharing. i will definitely try this out today
Dagger throw combos are disgusting
Movement and strafes and backstabs are disgusting
Perfect block are disgusting
This man is cracked
Damn this is the most beautiful dueling Ive ever seen, god skills
Finally, after 2 years, we have a true Black Kni*ht build

No problem 👍
You’re so different bro. Lol
Sword and Board my new fave of yours, Even Over Treespear Video!
Too fun to watch.
Making the knights of lothric proud with this one 🔥🔥🔥
WaZeus has entered his sword and board arc. Actually insane at the video game, ggs
I think we finally found the guy who can out-wiggle Iced Estus.
"There is nothing more terrifying."
Seeing the shield dashing tech to get over the blockstun is so cool, I gotta learn how to do that next time I'm playing with a shield.
You ain’t running a wizard build, but this sure seems like magic to me!
1:35 I have never seen a more mindboggling strafe
Bro thinks he's happy feet (2006)
Insane jukes my man, i'm not even fighting you and just seeing you hit the Seizure Stride™ sent me into a panic attack. 10/10.
beautiful gameplay, simple as that
Never seen these movements and swaps. Man is the faster backstaber and swaper in all the lands. Crazy good your videos bro. Thanks 🙏🏻 🎉
Man, your fighting has some serious style. Almost looked like you were pulling off fighting game combos.
Again an absolutely insane video! 🙏🙏
Bro moving fast AF, great skill man!
4:05 There I am. I didn't think I found this video by coincidence with Bonfire Man
Amazing plays, you should try the warhawk sword as well. The R2 is a great roll catch
the perfect blocks are so crazy
i think you should do a follow up showing off the miquellan and warhawk R2s
damn patch made miquillan super cool
Ghaddamn, thats some incredible plays right there man
Snb is insane lfg! Ima learn some after this patch for sure now 🥳
this goat can't miss ❤
It was so satisfying to watch you reflect all that wizard spam with the Tree Sentinel's shield. Wizards are just the worst.
oh wow, the attack that looks like a backstab animation is super smart. I think your one of the best PvPers, very fluent with movement and prediction
Your internet provider is 🏃💨🔥, it's like playing PvE. I need that patch😅
Holy freaking cow! You are a legend.
Awesome fights! Never seen a stalemate quite like that lol
YO i fought you in the colloseum the other day, the moment you perfect blocked the shit out of me i knew it was you. I was using zweihander and then kgs and was rocking marais mask. Your unique and also off meta playstyle is so refreshing to look at!
pls share ur duel inventories on the planner. It will help a lot.
Awesome ways to learn how to play this game
Build at end of the vid. But ya I can start doing that in the future if people want.
@@WaZeusPvP Anything you could do to share knowledge will always be more than welcome dude, this is top play.
yes please
Seeing you sauce all over meta-shitters will always give me life.
1:01 Starfist user got violated 🤣
WaZeus video we eating
oh that Moonveil parry was so sweet
Ngl that erdtree shield swap was diabolical im gonna add that to my snb playstyle as well
Also yea I was a huge snb invader duelist before the patch so this new patch is def gonna feel nice, especially with the Warhawk talon r2 and the medium shield guard buff
You might just be the best player i've ever seen.
the Elden Ring equivalent of your average Black Ops 6 multiplayer gameplay video
Well played brother, absolutely extraordinary
Thank you for showing your build and stats at the end, but why Heavy Noble's Slender Sword? Wouldn't it be stronger in a Dex build?
Sweatmaxxing frfr
Only liked your video because I’m scared if I don’t you’ll find my house and break my spine

Insane, insane and insane… ❤ Wazeus, you’re a real G
Sir Lancelot truly.
Nobody:
SNS builds after every patch: “Sword n Shield is OP now!”
Jokes aside great vid😂
damn dude this is insane to watch
Kick combo into r2? Interesting.
HOW TF DID YOU JUST “walk” AROUND A STORM STOMP???
Every single wazeus video is such a treat to watch! This one is no different, can't wait for snb to get even better in the future
this man is too good !
you should check out the talon thing strait sword. awesome r2
Sometimes you just have to say “damn” and hope you never run into them while you’re playing…
You’re insane.
Perfect block 🫡
Cool video! How are you able to passive poise through those colossal swings? Im very confused
damn dude! how do you get your perfect blocks so consistent? genuine question by the way i'd love to learn. good stuff either way
6:35 just started doing this too, beautiful
What was that
Hello is the Kiki with the leg on the sword or shield? I would like to know more about how you do it all
I can attest! I love s&b now
Damn, you are insane
Try with milady, the 1 hand moveset it's really good. It's perfect to S&B
That's actually one of his videos, it's just after patch 1.14, S&B with the straight sword fast heavies feels incredible
Me: I wish we had one more attack with our weapons so we had more options.
Fromsoft: What if we just sped up r2s a little so they aren't trash.
Best patch since the poise rework.
I didn't know Golden Retaliation worked against moonveil.

He should fight chase that would be clean
I think he would beat him tbh in colosseum at least. Chase doesn’t move like this at all

Please make a tutorial on perfect blocking! No one moves or does it like you
Holy shit you so good
I mean arent you getting smoked the moment your opponent goes 110 poise?
vale a pena vender a alma pra jogar assim ?
is that song name a typo?? i keep searching it up but the wrong songs keep coming up
May I suggest a fashion souls I think you would enjoy?

You really don't have to spazz out like he does. But running circles is the game.
@@glatykoffi6672 The animation blending he does IS inarguably optimal, even if it's a bit goofy on the visual clarity of everything.
is that a perfect block which allows for some of those backstabs?
how the fuck do you perfect block this consistently
Best player
He is arena champ.
Just curious - any reason why you chose 72 poise or 96 with BG?
Just fashion. Only breakpoint I really care about for arena is 88.

Amazing
How are you not getting any block animation sometimes when you block attacks? Is that a glitch?

how do you do the movement at 0:14 ? It almost looks like an animation cancel or something. I see it all the time but i can't find any info on it.
It's the perfect block or something like that, it was discovered a year ago and it can be done with any weapon that blocks.
