Thanks for the video!
Wonderful chains of fast swings... they're still unreachable for me, really, some kind of damn magic!
On the fight with shield-bearers:
- you can also try to step diagonally right and forward, and make long/wide RtL-swing - you can "hook" enemy and strike him in the back (BTW it works with everybody);
- LtR-swings makes me open for the counterattack too often, but yes - it's brilliant when it works correct;
- don't forget the crouching tactics:

It should be added, the mace wielders also do this to you as well.On the fight with shield-bearers:

I'll have to practice that technique. Shields are my biggest enemy at the moment.Thanks for the video!

You want to know a effective strategy against shields? Use your fists and get in their face, and don't let them ever get the ability to even hit you with anything more than a handle. Just make sure you have enough armour to do this without dying from stamina loss.

Nice video, interesting to see that technique for adding force to the attack, I do my backhand quite differently, mine is shallower but with a lot of force; I do this by using footwork to pull back at the right moment which makes the character do a heavy l2r without moving forward or backwards. But it has more force than if you were standing still and tends to be quite compact. Will record soon

hey guys I removed the video cause I think i did a poor job editing it and adding music mainly. Sadley, I'm still using movie maker and if I add files that are larger than 4gb it tends to be impossible to actually watch the video before I convert the whole thing. but I do plan to make a better video with the things you mentioned, Is there anything else you guys think I should add?

Well, if the video is the same, it is necessary to add - if possible - any arrows, zoom or frames that drew the viewer's attention to the things that you show in the video. (For example - as I wrote above - I simply can't do swift strikes, and I don't understand from your video, how do you do that).
Just (if you decide to make a guide video) try to make that understandable to the less experienced player, who don't know where to look, to pay his attention on the right things.
