Dark Souls Weapon Art Less Damage Than R1 Spam
So, I was in the township in DS1, invading and getting summoned for duel, threw a giant dad down the elevator, cleared out some fight clubs and merely minding my ain business until I got some hate mail. It was pretty typical ignorant bull shit. He went on and on about R1 spam as if information technology was Satan itself simply that "R1 spam" was actually simply similar two hits. Here's what happened: I back stabbed him, backed up for space and while he was blocking with his Havel shield, I hitting the shield to bait an attack, he dropped it and then I killed him on the second hit. He was probably just being a bitch but information technology did get me thinking about the idea of the R1 spam.
I bring this up because I feel we need to discuss how many R1'southward is besides many R1's. 2? 3? five? 8? Let'due south discuss,
I would say, yeah.
Similar, a guy with an estoc that runs around for a "suprise" running attack, pokes from behind a shield, tries to outpace you, and backstab fishes a bit. He only always attacks with r1, so he must exist a spammer right? (I mean he'due south still a filthy estoc turtle but that's another story.)
Just the guy he's fighting has a dark sword (memes, hah!) And has a uncomplicated plan... walk upwards and press r1 until either the green bar is gone or he gets hit. This guy's a spammer.
Sometimes they don't even stop when they get hit, hehe.

R1 spam is defined in a couple of ways really...
You got your classic spammers that swing until they're out of stamina, this is the most common class.
The other is technique. If all y'all exercise is throw R1s during an extended fight without performing anything else like a heavy or dodge attack that can be considered spam.
Since your fight was short and you lot only threw ii R1s out at him, it doesn't qualify imo. The fight didn't last long enough for y'all to do anything else... but if the fight lasted for more than a infinitesimal and over that fourth dimension you threw out more than x attacks and all of them were R1 attacks then I would consider information technology spam.

Fair enough. In all seriousness, I'm well aware what spamming is but I brought this upwardly because I felt that the mode we ascertain certain shit tactics in DS needs to be well know and understood past the customs. Doing so will allow us to call them out better and push for smarter strats and, in FromSoft's case, smarter gameplay.
If all someone does is press R1, it's pretty like shooting fish in a barrel to counter. Block the first and/or second and parry the following. They're literally showing you lot their mitt.

I don't think I phrased that correctly, merely you get my point.
Exactly, if you get spammed to death information technology's just your fault XD
That would be truthful, Fluff, simply only for ds3...
Non sure of ds1, simply ds2 didn't accept the 2 hits and you lot're free dominion, once you're stunlocked you're in it until they're out of stamina.
Ik I went over that above in the before comments as cancer.
^^ Ds1 was the same, assuming no laggy nonsense occurred.
I don't get information technology. If I wanna R1 spam. Lose my stamina then get cut downward and so its my problem. I don't accept whatsoever thought why people go so crappy about that. If you tin't cake then run or dodge or hyper armor through information technology..
It'southward kinda stupid particularly when you are like me and your primary weapon is a UGS. I've had people say I R1 spam yet I can only use regular set on up to 4 times earlier I'1000 screwed.
If y'all trap yourself in a corner them get R1'ed and so it's your problem. Exist aware of what your are doing. If y'all don't have much wellness, a shield or a scroll to the side tin substitute. Or if you lot are using a heavy weapon them simply use that. (In 3 you can use weapon art similar stomp and be fine and in 1 poise does it'due south job soo..)
(Edit: ohhh man there is so many missed spelling errors. Oh well y'all guys got the general idea.)
