I'm pretty sure I knew this when I last played, but I forgot. Help me git gud at G2 combat.
I'm trying using G2 controls not G1 controls, and seems like the best I can do is string two standard sword swings together, or a running forward overhead slash. Maybe because I'm still Rookie skill level on one-handed? At any rate, this basically means whoever I fight it's a question of learning their attack timing, parrying or jumping back when needed, and getting in my two slashes whenever I can. E.g. against a wolf it's back, slash, back, slash. I can dispatch most low level enemies with little problem at level 6, but I'm trying to remember how you start fighting better.
One thing I know I never understood very well was when you need to strike to get the crits. Seems to be related to hitting when the enemy is particularly open, but I can't seem to do it deliberately.
Very much enjoying it, but to be honest, the more I play, the less difference I see between G1/2 and G3/R1.
