>>732264660The weapons in this game were so fun to use.
>>732264718My drake knight guy evolved into using curved swords for those sick charged attack cancels.
look at this onion trying to mimic a fraction of my power

>>732264660>more stance damage than a fully-charged R2That's wrong.>when they all play exactly the same and all that matters is the damage number?It's not the only strong playstyle. Guard counter builds, charged R2 builds, there's so many ways you can delete enemies.
Bait. This is probably one of the few games where theres a huge variety in weapons which are significantly different even compared to weapons in the same class. The mixing and matching of weapon arts adds even more variety. Jumping attacks are great for PvE where theres relatively small attack windows on bosses and you want to chunk damage and break poise but in PvP its all about spacing, roll catching and quick strikes to punish idiots who spam jump and charge attacks recklessly.
Dual wielding usually looks super retarded so I don't do it. The only exceptions are a few rare weapons that are designed around dual wielding with a unique moveset. Also pressing L1 to attack is fucking gay.
>>732264718My faves were the drill sword pair and the tree spear.
