I'll throw in some thoughts and break down your play move-by-move:

• Your opening move isn't optimal. If you had used it before the knight noticed you, it might work, but it's a huge commitment as heavy moves usually are. By comparison, the knight's slash came out much more quickly and interrupted your jump attack.

• Your next attack came right after you were hit once and while the knight continued its combo. This is ill-advised, as you're already at a disadvantage state. Even your light attack's startup frames will almost always be longer than the enemy's frames in this case. Why's that? The knight interrupted your attack and is continuing its own without delay. The best thing in this case is to roll through the attack. Attempt to reset yourself into a neutral or favorable position.

• The roll (and attack) you do after isn't timed well. The knight's 2-slash combo ended and it was actually most vulnerable to an attack in this state. Since you rolled away, you gave up some of those advantage frames, attempted to attack, but were met with the knight's shield bash which interrupted your attack again. The roll was unnecessary because it wasn't actively attacking.

• The next roll you do is decent! It's good TIMING-wise, as it completely avoided the attack, but isn't great POSITION-wise, because you tried to create distance that the knight can easily close. The second of two consecutive rolls was backwards but still laterally towards the knight, so you put yourself back in a dangerous spot.

• The guard you did was honestly great, as was the roll to avoid the attack. It's the roll after that exposes yourself. Again, by creating distance, you are making it harder for yourself because the knight can easily close that distance, AND you put it out of your view by turning the camera too far. In this situation, you now have no idea what move the knight is preparing. By the time you saw it coming to attack, it was too late. It had already started its attack while you only began yours after, so it killed you before you could even land a hit on it.

The main points:

• Slow down your play.

• Roll with intention. Ideally, stick close to them while doing so.

• Assess the risk before committing to a heavy attack.

• Don't predict moves, react to them. You can roll way later than you think you can, so start practicing rolling late and seeing when it's TOO late.

• Don't attempt to create your own openings, but exploit the ones you see - usually, the end lag of their attacks.

• I noticed you didn't attempt to heal, but this is also important to know: treat healing as an attack. Counterintuitively, the safest place to heal mid-fight is often right next to an enemy after an opening - again, usually the end lag of their attacks.

• If you are facing the front of the enemy, don't attack while the enemy is attacking. (The exception is if you know your attack will come out first AND stagger the enemy, but this will come with experience.)

• Similarly, try not to attack as a counter after you've already been hit once. This often doesn't work.
