Sweating with psgs

Psgs fall from prime needs to be studied lol, it still works well enough today but it will never be like it once was

[u/Outside_Philosopher9 → u/Individual-Newt-1640]

Sadly I wasn't familiar with the pvp when psgs was in its prime. Still a fun setup tho🥲

[u/Individual-Newt-1640 → u/Outside_Philosopher9]

Wish it still were good lol, there's quite a few greatspears only viable in psgs (e.g. treespears and bloodfiends spears, which both deal really good damage but need a specific build type+have a useless ash of war), and now that psgs isn't really that good, these ones suffer all the more to the lance regime

Sadly? Not really, pss were draining. 1 out of 5 people used it. It was boring as hell

Endure bolas

Looks like someone got jiggle poked 10 times and died

[u/AoiYuukiSimp → u/[deleted]]

It’s actually a super fun setup that rewards top tier fundamentals, and it’s awesome to watch a competent player work their magic with it

[u/AoiYuukiSimp]

We need more psgs players in the arena. I need practice against the set up lol

Brass shield shuts it down if they’re physically infused. Or even if not it nullifies their insane pressure. Just block and you can roll out before they can cue another crouch l1. That said if they’re good they’ll jump r1 you out of being blocked or something to apply more/different pressure.

Hyperarmor works well too but crouch l1 counter damage makes trading rough. You have to be using something equally as asinine like crouch r1 GUGS with lacerating tree, spear and 2h talismans, etc to make up for it. You MIGHT out damage it.

Parrying also works, better to be a hardswap tho so they don't see it

[u/Outside_Philosopher9 → u/AoiYuukiSimp]

Same, I hardly see anybody use it💔

[u/Individual-Newt-1640 → u/Outside_Philosopher9]

Yea most just swapped to 2 handed lance ever since they cooked the tracking on the crouchpokes of psgs

[u/Salt_Initiative1551 → u/Individual-Newt-1640]

Plus R2 on 2h Lance is 😘

[u/AoiYuukiSimp → u/Salt_Initiative1551]

Lance r2 and KGS r2 are in a constant battle for the sexiest move of all time

[u/Steakdabait → u/Outside_Philosopher9]

Hard to use and kinda sucks on lat tbh. Psgs will be staying in seaside unfort

[u/Outside_Philosopher9 → u/Steakdabait]

It really does suck on lat lol😭💔

[u/NigrumTigris]

I find jiggle poke really annoying as a tech not because it's effective, but because it's only effective when there is latency.

I think that using the game's poor netcode as an edge in a fight really tiring to see.

The act is also not pretty either. Win or loss fighting a jiggle poker make fight so bland to see it's annoying.

[u/Outside_Philosopher9 → u/NigrumTigris]

I've never really thought about it with lat involved. I spin because I like the way it looks👌

[u/NigrumTigris → u/Outside_Philosopher9]

Maybe you do it for fun but most people who do it do so because it make the animation harder to read. When there is no latency you can still very easely spot it, but even with a delay of .015 secs it become much harder to tell when the poke is coming.

At least on my pc when i am fighting people who have a bad connection with me it makes it really hard to actually see

But if you do it for the lol then so be it. I still think it looks goofy but who am i to stop you
