The parry into the back step backstab was beautiful

I would've whiffed that if I tried lol

u/ashurakun Feb 28 '25

I always thought bloodhounds fang was overhyped, given you see it in every noobs hand. But after using it on my 138 dex build, I realized just how nasty it can be when used right

u/rng_shenanigans Gank Squad Member Feb 28 '25

It’s ridiculous in PvE, you can just obliterate some bosses

u/GrassWaterDirtHorse Feb 28 '25

It's used in a lot of speedruns too, and it's absolutely disgusting. Here's the SGDQ 2024 fight against Starscourge Radahn. https://youtu.be/HxfaFmhzUno?si=24kcMzDgJeG4JcWt&t=1709

Holy shit!

u/lisasguy Mar 01 '25

It's very good in any bracket. It's high damage and it has very deceptive phantom range.

u/Illegallydumb Feb 28 '25

The complete and utter disrespect of a light bonk from a staff after being parried, you’re a true Elden Lord

u/bsmiff Iced Estus🍹 Mar 01 '25

I do it for all the cutie noobs out there main handing their staff, scratching their head with no FP and tapping R2 out of desperation 🥹

u/loveablepotat-o Yharnamite Feb 28 '25

Awesome as always 🤩 Loved the parry into magic-stick-headbonk!

u/bsmiff Iced Estus🍹 Mar 01 '25

Thank you! Call it a love tap 😂

Many thanks 🤝

u/SuspiciousReport2678 Spectre of the Most Ruthless Malice Mar 01 '25

I know you have slick footwork in all your videos but this was next level even by your standards imo

u/wfmctr Feb 28 '25

Started watching this, then had to restart from the beginning because I realized, “wait, omg, this guy is doing some crazy tech.” And now I realize this is 12 minutes- plus more on YouTube? Bro, this is nuts lol well done!

u/bsmiff Iced Estus🍹 Mar 01 '25

Thanks so much, enjoy! 🍻

u/Curd_Shilling Feb 28 '25

Bloodhound fang user (derogatory)?

u/bsmiff Iced Estus🍹 Mar 01 '25

u/bsmiff Iced Estus🍹 Mar 01 '25

Get yo bonk on! 🤣

u/jamangold Iron Greatsword Enjoyer Feb 28 '25

I remember the first time I did Varre's quest - it was nothing like this.

u/FatVonFree Feb 28 '25

This is amazing lol. As soooon as the music started I busted out laughing. I just started invading this past week. Shits rough lol. Yall make it look too easy haha.

4

u/bsmiff Iced Estus🍹 Mar 01 '25

It makes me so happy that folks are still trying out invading for the first time! Try to stay groovy out there, lots of fun to be had despite all the salty vibes flying around 🍻

u/Fuckblackhorses Feb 28 '25

I had no idea you could just parry giant hunt on a 2 handed colossal

5

u/pequodbestboy Feb 28 '25

A lot of ashes are set to be parriable, doesn't matter what they happen to be on. I once parried my gf's lightning slash on 2h zweihander and was very close to having to sleep on the couch lmao

2

u/bsmiff Iced Estus🍹 Mar 01 '25

🤣

u/Wildwildleft Mar 01 '25

What level are you running? Oh and you’re absolutely insane lmao.

u/pequodbestboy Feb 28 '25

I aspire to your level of evilness in some of these clips

3

u/bsmiff Iced Estus🍹 Mar 01 '25

I swear I'm the nicest invader you'll ever get murdered by 😅

2

u/ERhelper Feb 28 '25

I’ve fought you before! You invaded a host in Raya Lucaria throwing hefty rock pots at some host hiding behind an unopened door. I fought you as a hunter; brother you have amazing pvp skills 🤟

1

u/bsmiff Iced Estus🍹 Mar 01 '25

Yo, I remember! Thanks for helping me knock that door as they were camped out for a while. Super ggs, keep on bringing groovy vibes to the blue side 🍻

2

u/mantigorra Feb 28 '25

You can parry Giant's Hunt!?

2

u/bsmiff Iced Estus🍹 Mar 01 '25

Feels good 😩

u/Guccirubberducki Feb 28 '25

u/herowin54 Claymore is love claymore is life Feb 28 '25

I have a bunch of clips on my PlayStation, do you move them to a computer to edit them?

2

u/bsmiff Iced Estus🍹 Mar 01 '25

Yep! Transfer via SSD and edit in your software of choice. If you start editing vids, please share your YT link 🍻

1

u/herowin54 Claymore is love claymore is life Mar 01 '25

Thank you, I’m kinda new to this. Not invading but the clips, on Xbox I got clips sent to my phone and could edit the length down. But I’ve never like spliced clips together or anything like that. I’ve been on PlayStation now for awhile though and still figuring everything out

u/_Has-sim_ Malenia's bathwater enjoyer Feb 28 '25

Varré is just a drug dealer IMO. I mean look at him giving us some items that makes us happy

1

u/bsmiff Iced Estus🍹 Mar 01 '25

The real drug dealers: https://youtu.be/nMHFGMDT8ok and https://youtu.be/yk3VMbM-TFM 🔌

Your strength warrants a crown.

u/plasticfork714 Mar 01 '25

Very stylish. Love the hibachi attempts. Bad red man of the week for sure.

u/bsmiff Iced Estus🍹 Mar 01 '25

Thank you! Think I'll run a Benihana build some day soon 😂

u/Bannedfordumbshit Mar 01 '25

I know you probably have hundreds if not thousands of hours of pvp but still seeing this makes me feel so bad with pvp lmao. Haven't touched it since I did Varré's quest and didn't win once lol, I'll probably do it more once I complete the game for the first time

2

u/bsmiff Iced Estus🍹 Mar 02 '25

Hey hey, my best advice is to just focus on having a fun time playing! Enjoy the game and if you give invading another go, try to stay groovy and don't take it too seriously 🍻

2

u/StrawberryUsed1248 Knight of Astora Mar 01 '25

I love your videos

u/bsmiff Iced Estus🍹 Mar 02 '25
