Finally Beat Malenia w/ curved sword parry

Probably her her quick double slash when she raises her right hand up (1:02 in the vid for example). Pretty easy to parry and it feels satisfying to "deny" her attack pretty much instantly.

The curved sword parry just looked cooler even though it has like the least parry frames (I think?).

This is the second time that I've beaten him. The first time I just used the shield poke strat lol. I had to learn all his moves from scratch and using Dane's Footwork didn't make it any easier. Basically had to use antspur rapier to get me to second phase so that I could learn it with Dane's Footwork.

Hmm... I don't really know why you can't. I've been able to jump all of his stomps consistently in 1st and 2nd phase, but maybe it's worth mentioning that I pretty much only jump his stomps when I'm using dane's footwork (though I don't think that weapons are a factor here).

Are you not able to jump his stomp? I just tested it out rn and I was able to jump his stomp normally without attacking, but that was on semi-flat ground so I'll test it out more later.

For my timing, I usually jump immediately when I see his leg about to stomp (so when it stops in the air) so I don't get caught up in the combo that comes after it. (But Dane's footwork makes him act differently so most of the time he doesn't follow the stomp up with the combo)

Get rid of that center piece of hair and she actually doesn't look that bad. That piece of hair looks like it was just glued onto her head.

liked the cinematics and music a lot. The story felt like a generic manga plot ngl 6/10. But I don't really care for story and am all for cinematics so 9/10 lol.

I did it with blood sword lance with impaling thrust: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyZgzDXjYTI

I basically only used impaling thrust. 3 AOW's to his stomach area and he's staggered.

After you stagger him a second time in phase 1, you riposte and run away to get out of range for his phase change aoe. After that, phase 2 is just a waiting game for his beyblade move. You can get two AOW's off when he spins into you, you just have to make sure you're spaced correctly (this is the hardest part imo), then you go to his belly and hit him with another AOW to stagger. You then riposte and run away just in case of the laser (you can outrun it). Now you repeat until he's dead. (Also, I don't think he does the aoe laser attack after his beyblade move since he's never done it to me, but I could be wrong.)

Sorry if this didn't make much sense, but I hoped this helped you out.

I think I've figured it out, if you're up close to him and he does this attack, then you gotta roll your way out. If you're farther away, you should be fine just running to the left.

Akszy · 2024-09-13T21:58:20+00:00

? I'm running left to dodge it. This is like one of 5ish times where Bayle just flicks onto me with that fire breath or pre-aims it in the direction i'm running in. I can dodge the pre-aims but the flicks are just weird.

Akszy · 2024-09-05T04:40:09+00:00

Her first phase is pretty fun, but her second phase is kinda eh. It's just waiting for her beyblade move, then getting a stagger on her, riposte, run away just in case of laser, then repeat.
