    Slower, more methodical combat, Parry frames that actual work accounting for latency, a back step that has I-frames, being able to invade a solo player. Good times.

    @@Sohelanthropus let's be realistic here though mate... DS2 did have ice rapier R1 spam. That was pretty cancer. Difference is that in DS2, skill actually matters. You don't have to work as hard to beat someone mindlessly spamming because good play matters a more than the crutches available. DS3 rolls fucked the whole thing up. They're spammy and require way more effort to beat than they do to spam. They're fast and long enough that R2's became too slow to be a viable timing mixup - they'd be too far away. DS3 has ass fundamentals. DS2 has good fundamentals, even if there's unbalanced stuff! That's the difference.

    Just play it on Steam PC. It's still active as hell. I play it on high soul memory and there are people in the pvp arenas. Even invasions work sometimes let alone co-op. Co-op is best in the dlc boss areas though. By the way, Dark Souls II is still the only souls game I ever played and I'm proud because it's the best. From looking at Dark Souls III and Elden Ring and Bloodborne it just looks like a failed Dark Souls 1 copy especially DS3 looks like that. The fast running and rolling, spamming R1 it just looks so bad and probably has horrible gameplay. Dark Souls 2 was the best of the series and after that it died. I don't even want to play Elden Ring. Gonna wait for Dark Souls 2 Episode 2 lol.

    If you ask me its in general the best, even PVE although the bosses were bad the game makes up with its mechanics and content. Dark Souls 3 was for me terrible in every aspect cause even PVE was plain boring cause all you did was spamm R1 for perma stunlock on enemies cause nobody had poise, ugh. I renember on the last DLC the cathedral boss that you could become which was a fun part but no no no they had to nerf it, after DS2 the franchise died to me. Glad Elden Ring brought alot of good things back but I have to rate the PVP there yet.

    From a pvp perspective id say the only bad entry is Elden Ring tbh. Everything else is tolerable at worst for ds1-3. Things have counterplay other than pull something else out that’s even more broken. The hardcore fans of each game like to shit on the other games because they’re different and take different skill sets and knowledge to play at a higher level. Elden ring throws all of that out the window by being the most unbalanced shitshow I’ve personally played. As for PvE, I find ds2 to be the worst simply because I see the amount of enemy placements as artificial difficulty, but I’m also most accustomed to ds1 where ganks aren’t super common and you can more easily get control of groups

    I remember being so excited to PVP in DS3 because it was my first PC Dark Souls game with 60fps and a gaming monitor, and I had massively improved my internet since DS2 on PS3. I remember the EPIC duels on the lava bridge with the back and forth momentum of battle and careful spacing and stamina management. I won ~70% of my duels using just a claymore and a parry buckler. In DS3, I got fucking destroyed in almost every duel and could not beat an invader to save my life. It always felt like I was getting one shotted, stun locked, or cheesed with OP shit. I honestly thought that the skill gap had just passed me by or something. Turns out DS2 PVP was just really balanced and fair for pretty much any build, and the soul memory mechanic everyone hated did a good job filtering cancerous players from most matchmaking.

    Yes this is awesome, this is what I’ve been looking for. The others just didn’t hit the same maybe, because I felt you were making super strong builds and just running through people with no care. But here you have item switching, guard breaking and backing stabbing; I love it. There’s just so much more to the combat.

I was literally thinking about going back to DS2 PvP like 3 days ago, I've got a SM200 using the blacksteel katana (inspired by your video) and loyce greatsword with 50 faith that I wanna have some fun with again. I probably will boot the game back up, immediately after finishing this video.

    You know what's the most ironic thing? The combat in ds2 is a raw improvement over ds1's combat. They both (actually all "old souls", which are des, ds1 and ds2) keep the same methodical combat system, but in ds2 it's more severe, such as more dodging stamina usage (with beginning stamina you can dodge 3-4 times in a row, in ds1 you can do it like 6 times, and in ds3 you can do it like 12 times or so), more attack stamina usage, and generally getting punished more for your mistakes (such as max HP penalty upon death). Other than just being more severe, it also fixed several things that were outright bullshit in ds1's combat: instant parry and backstabbing. You're not getting teleported into backstabs in ds2 anymore (other than because of lag), while in ds1 backstabbing was so incredibly broken that it literally became the meta. Just run around the enemy trying to backstab them...

    DS 2 is probably the game I spent the most time in due to being late for D's 1, and had ds3 on PS4 without plus, but could never get a hang of the parries, minus the time when the curved sword parry was a thing. I mean I'm not super great at parries in the other but decent, but I can count my DS2 parries on 1 hand.

    the combat was tactical and had weight behind it because of the poise difference of armor and sweet balance heavy vs light armor builds created and low stamina so you cannot spam roll the attack animations were perfect and parrying required skill .. the movement was slow which made positioning crucial it also helped the immersion of playing as a heavy knight or a swift swordsman which far more grounded in reality.. unlike ds3 and elden ring which feels more like anime power rangers...even the visuals fit better in ds2..the grim and dirty color palet ... this vid takes me 10 years back watching some of yoyr videos and speedrunning ds2
