Coming up! The hitboxes of weapon arts and other special attacks.What if you could wield 4 of the same weapon? - Armored Core 6Amir.2023-09-10 | "I'm not gonna sugar coat it."
I've had tons of fun playing AC6 since it came out, and now I'm having even more tearing it open. When I figured out how to forcefully assign weapons to slots, I just had to try this.
#armoredcore6 #armoredcoreThe Best Way to Play PvP Duels - Elden RingAmir.2023-07-22 | Duels have always been fun in Elden Ring, but the arenas and game modes available have always been far from ideal from providing a seamless pvp experience. In this video I explain those issues, and showcase a high quality mod that intends to fill the gap the game has left, at least for fight clubs, 1v1 sessions, and tournaments.

#eldenring #eldenringpvpAn Aim-Assist Feature Gone Wrong - Elden RingAmir.2023-07-01 | Free-aiming is a creative way to take magic casting and other ranged playstyles further in both PvP and PvE. In this video we talk a lot about free-aiming and the ways it's useful, but also dive in to the topic of a not-really-talked-about mechanic, which is holding free-aiming back. This feature seemed to be intended to make a basic use of casting easier, but the fact that it is baked-in without the option to turn it off ultimately puts a hard limit on how you can aim projectiles, and especially kills their effectiveness in PvP.

#eldenring(OUTDATED) Why PvP Feedback is so Important - Elden RingAmir.2023-03-23 | I know you all have been wondering what's going on with my channel as well as the eldenringpvp.net feedback website, so I decided to make this video to get you guys up to date on what's going on with all that, as well as sharing with you guys my other intentions and visions for the future of this channel. I'm really looking forward to all of it, and I hope you guys are too.

#eldenring #eldenringpvpWhat Patch 1.06 Actually Changed - Great Weapons ReworkAmir.2022-12-17 | As it turns out, the changes made for the greatswords, greataxes, curved greatswords and great hammers and all their moves was much more significant than the patch notes stated. In this video I go into detail on all the actual changes, and what they mean for especially the PvP side of the game. I also explain many necessary concepts and design patterns that are key to understanding what these changes actually mean for the game. Overall, it's a pretty massive and information dense video, I hope you enjoy it!
0:00 Wait, you're talking about this NOW? 1:04 Why this information is still very relevant 1:39 The actual intro 2:05 These are pretty high-effort changes... 2:26 How we'll answer the unanswered questions 3:24 What they SAID they did with Great-weapons... 4:16 It isn't just "roll recovery improvements" 4:51 The actual changes to "Greatswords" 5:23 An unannounced animation speed boost... 5:55 Some misconceptions about the true-combos... 6:16 What makes this moveset strong 7:16 Summing up the changes to the regular moveset... 7:34 How Curved Greatswords are now the strongest they've ever been in the series... 9:00 Great Hammers got some of the most hefty buffs... 10:05 The Great Hammers hyperarmor is pretty good, at least relative to... 10:34 How the speed buffs gave Greataxes their own identity... 11:15 Why vertical movesets are inherently weaker due to Fromsoft's blanket design of tracking 12:19 Other Greataxe strengths and weaknesses... 13:49 Try 2-handing this funny "Greataxe" 14:24 The good's and bad's of Bandai's Translations 15:54 Are guard-counters good now? 16:33 A huge rework of Great-weapon heavy attacks 17:15 How do heavy attacks work internally? 17:50 The design pattern of heavy attacks... 18:18 How heavy attack's undertuning holds them back... 19:17 How exactly they improved the speed of heavy attacks, and what does it mean for them? 21:11 A simple solution that could make heavy attacks feel MUCH better to use! 22:10 Moving on?

We also dive into what other weapons could take advantage of this feature to appropriately balance them, a major balance-affecting bug relating to crouching that was fixed, and a new exploit accidentally spawned by these changes that needs to be hot-fixed immediately.

We'll have to see in the next few days if my predictions pan out.

I also go over and explain the impact of all of the non-pvp exclusive poise changes, and how they undoubtedly were impacted by community feedback.

#ELDENRINGThe Cannon is the Best Invasion Weapon - Elden RingAmir.2022-08-05 | In terms of natural invasions, the cannon by far is the most effective tool at winning them, at least below meta level. With thoughtful usage of it, you can easily ambush and take out a take with 1-2 well-placed shots, especially if you have a cliff to knock em off. Even at close range, you can release it on reaction to any action they do, making it difficult for inexperienced players to counter.
This video is just a footage dump of a few invasions where I primarily utilized the cannon, and thus has no more commentary. I have much more footage left over from various things that I may not be able to find a proper video to make from, so you may want to expect a couple more of these footage dump videos as I clear my drive.

#ELDENRINGIt took them 13 years to bring this back - Elden RingAmir.2022-07-31 | Inside the Caria manor, veterans of the original Souls game got an endearing reminder of one of it's most infamous mechanics. Certain aspects of it were recreated point for point, including some of the more janky ones. Special states like this have also been few in far between in the Souls series, and one set of cut animations suggested we could have had another one.

#ELDENRINGWhat does the Manual Attack Aiming option do? - Elden RingAmir.2022-07-26 | Ever wondered what this menu option actually does?

In this video, we go over this and how this manual aiming feature has worked throughout the games.

#ELDENRINGHow this Glitch KILLED Multiplayer on PC - Elden RingAmir.2022-05-31 | Today we address the glitch that has had the worst effect on the multiplayer of Elden Ring, or any Souls game so far, as practically stops you from being able to play it in the first place.

#ELDENRING #eldenringpvpElden Ring has some input dropping problems...Amir.2022-04-15 | (UPDATE) Looks like they devs saw this video, as both the moving-toggle input drop and two-hand jumping input drop have been stated to be fixed in the 1.07 patch notes, and I've confirmed this is the case in-game as well. Unfortunately, the guard-sprint input drop is still a thing.
In this video, I reveal some circumstances I found that Elden Ring unintentionally drops your inputs consistently, and why such drops may be occurring.

#ELDENRINGPerfectly Rolling Malenias Waterfowl Dance Point BlankAmir.2022-04-07 | This can be consistently performed but requires an insane amount of practice, as it took me 2 hours to do so even when I adjusted the AI to only perform this attack. This is using medium roll, with no buffs to iframes like crucible feather talisman. I'll be reviewing and criticizing this boss in a later video, but I can say this move is both one of the worst and best parts about this boss.
#ELDENRINGElden Ring AFK PVP Farmers Pay the Price 😤Amir.2022-04-07 | There is a bunch ways gain runes way faster and without wasting others time and without effectively cheating in PvP. Watch @ScottJund's video about it to learn more: youtube.com/watch?v=Y0FoPuZMU5g
#ELDENRING #eldenringpvpMalenias Waterfowl Dance Used to Look a Bit Different...Amir.2022-04-06 | Malenia's waterfowl dance dance is a beautiful yet arguably the most infamous attack in Elden Ring in regards to it's challenge. However, it used to look a bit different before the developers got what they were looking for. Looking forward to reviewing this boss as a whole :)

#eldenringGodskin Nobles Instant AOE | Elden RingAmir.2022-03-30 | "When you fight the Boss vs when you unlock him as a playable character"
I got straight juggled by the Godskin Noble's belly flop attack in my first playthrough, but how does it's speed and effectiveness compare in PvP with the player version? I take a casual look into this and do some cosplay duels as the Godskin Noble(Objectively better than Godskin Apostle, this is canon in the lore), trying to make use of the various black flame sells.

#ELDENRING #eldenringpvpCasting Speed is VERY Important in Elden RingAmir.2022-03-27 | Ever wondered how EXACTLY casting speed works in Elden Ring and other Souls games? Well in this video I explain just that, down to the underlying animation mechanics. I also explain what exactly benefits from casting speed vs doesn't, as people don't seem to know what does and does not, such as the misconception that Dragon Magic does not benefit from casting speed increases.
0:00 Its good to be back!! 0:30 How do you measure attack startup? 3:52 Things changed a bit in the patch... 4:47 How to get max casting speed! 5:47 Does casting speed even DO anything? 8:38 Dragonfire at MAX SPEED 9:36 What about Flying Dragon Spells? 12:38 I had to talk about this spell... 15:06 Thanks for watching :)The Lappalest Dried Finger Run (Crossbow only) ➤ SL 125 +10Amir.2022-01-15 | Today we're doing a dried finger run, where me and Grim are only allowed to use crossbows & consumables to attack the PvE and invaders.
Invaders may use whatever they like, including glitches for this run(This is due to crossbow having some interesting perks with them, outside this run I usually completely avoid them). Only rules are no actual cheating.
#ds3tubeExplaining Lag in Souls PvP w/ TheBat ➤ Live!Amir.2022-01-15 | This stream, I'll be explaining live how pvp in the Dark Souls Series(And other online souls games, like the Upcoming Elden Ring) works over latency with my good friend TheBat from Brazil, who both has a decent amount of latency with me and understands the concept greatly. We'll both try to help you understand how this works, and also try to help you learn how to adjust for it in PvP.
#ds3tubeDark Souls 3 Pre-Elden Ring PvE Run (Featuring Fibre Internet!)Amir.2022-01-11 | Doing a final Dark Souls 3 PvE run before Elden Ring while hanging out with chat. We'll be making a quality build character naturally, and using my knowledge to play against the PvE in the most fun and smart ways I can come up with.
#ds3tubeHow to be ready for Elden Ring PvP (Elden Ring PvP Discord)Amir.2022-01-08 | Despite how niche the Souls game pvp may seem, millions are interested in playing it, and many are even interested in getting competitive in it. Elden Ring will likely have the largest competitive scene of any souls game, but most players wont know where to go to find it. Today I show you around the Elden Ring PvP discord server, which will be THE place for organizing casual and competitive pvp, including a competitive ladder, tournament promotions, and tools to organize fight clubs and other online events.
The server is also a great place to chat even if you don't play PvP often, and despite the competitive element toxicity is not tolerated at all.
#ds3tubeAverage Dark Souls 3 DuelAmir.2021-12-31 | (Spoiler)
This is a staged duel at 3 seconds of latency(Round trip time of connection), where we setup things so he'd land backstab that registers in a completely different way than you'd expect(But still entirely possible, as demonstrated), including saving the backstabber from an elevator fall...
Thanks to @SleepMoover for sacrificing his internet connection for his video
#ds3tubeMost subtle Dark Souls 3 cheaterAmir.2021-12-19 | stuff like this is more rewarding then actually killing them
imo from my experience this is the correct reaction unless u find it fun to keep fighting them anyway to see what they'll use on you. I'd still recommend you use an anti-cheat unless you have other methods to preserve your saves as there are still cheats distributed to do such things.
I also highly suggest you don't look into methods for counter-cheating as in my experience just leads to more cheaters or accidental cheating, and disappointment in not being able to rid of some cheaters. I'm much more satisfied doing what I did in this video then I ever did engaging in counter-cheating.
#ds3tubeMy Thank you Dark Souls moments #2Amir.2021-12-18 | A collection of clips from the past year or so that I never had a proper video to use them for, such as weird laggy pvp encounters. The clip in the thumbnail is at 4:00

#ds3tubeHeadshot Combo Tech - Dark Souls PvPAmir.2021-11-30 | Headshots in Dark Souls 3 are a severely underrated mechanic as it bypasses most normal hit restrictions, such as poise, or the receiving player being in a roll on their own game. It also stuns for a fair amount of time, which means some attacks can combo from it. Since headshots often land at a distance, this weapon art is perfect and claiming a combo despite that.
