Latency is a ***. For what it's worth, I agree. I hate bleed triggering during invulnerability frames. Also yeah, this. The one time I had it happen I was like, "That is so much ***."
Cool way I've countered bleeders a few times, mind you they weren't awesome sauce players probably, is I use a rapier. Usually the Irithyll one, just cause I like it. They come to bleed me through GMS, which it does still build up like normal as far as I can tell, but I poke them and interrupt then put them on the defensive.
Also since I use Lothric's Knight shield, I sometimes, VERY RARELY, will parry them and kill them that way.

Finally finished DS3 (/slowpoke), for fun I saved and uploaded all my first attempts on bosses + the first kill so people can see and judge my bad.Watching this :3 My first attempt on Nameless king was clearly my best showing... "All right come at me Bro!... Ok then, I'll be right back."[/quote]

And that's the obscene bleed out attack.

Depends on when you start the timer since he takes a bit to pop up, less hits taken though.

That looks 100% staged though, not even hiding behind a RTSR setup!
his death was legit! I actually watched the guys playthrough of Dark Souls, this is legit he's just kinda dumb sometimes.

Well it starts like 50 seconds earlier than I intended but it'll do.

I watched Ina's Nameless King vid. His first encounter, Nameless King killed him on his first attack, 1HKO! I was like daaaayyyyummmmm.
Then the vid moves onto him beating the first half, and he has this super elegant dance fight with NK, only to lose surprisingly lol.
Then the vid shows his winning run, which was pretty good too. I kind of wish he'd won in the earlier portion though, cause he did some very graceful dodging imo.

Hmm, I have vids of my first kills and weird pvp moments lying around but have been too lazy to upload them. Maybe I should get on that.

Nameless King is an odd one because he is super frustrating when you first fight him but I found once you get his attack pattern down that it is a very enjoyable fight.

Doing a no shield, Ultra Greatsword playthrough of DS3 just to reacclimate myself to not having a shield because why not. Course, the 2handed weapons are slow as all hell, and there's no rally system, so it's quite a bit more egh ugh than Bloodborne lol.
Underleveled in Lothric Castle after toppling the Dancer, and man oh man, am I getting wrecked by trash left and right.

It ain't no fancy sexy SL1 Josiah Dancer fight, but it was the first time I killed her without using a shield. I mean, technically my very first run of the game was done with the Greataxe, but on that playthrough I used the Grass Crest Shield, and on occasion I would use it to block(though I can't remember if I was silly enough to try blocking her hits with it. I don't think I was, but ehh, whatever).
Also Kitty's drawing of Ina's Nameless King fight is the best drawing of all time. I give it a 5 [+] rating and certify it platinum.

Getting some painted world vibes.
Hopefully we see some Velka involvement. She's been surprisingly absent, considering a lot of the other named gods have been covered. Maybe some Priscilla coming up.
Unrelated, but looks like ENB/Marcus is going to start streaming sometime soon.

That crazy undead woman boss was trying to smash you with the Lord Vessel. Blood ran all around the base of the Lord Vessel. That vase thing looks like the Lord Vessel. That bridge entry screams painted world, and so did that archway place with the water and those fly things, reminded me of the underground portion with the wheel skeletons. Holy ***, do want! WANT! HYPE! HNNNGH! OCTOBER WHY YOU SO FAR AWAY!?
"...then show my Lady flame." Hmmm haaah, hmmm... Trying to think of what connects this and the main portion and everything. The ashes have gathered makes me think of a lord that was successful, and burnt away completely. It showed Aldritch, Twin Princes, and such, so I wonder if defeating them and using their remains for something else is how you access the DLC.
*** fight some Nordic looking *** warriors, holy ***. That giant guy with the elk lookin' antler helmet with his big ole axe hammer thing. I wanna kill it!

I think they Lady they speak of is Gwynevere/Lothrics Queen (or one or the other since it's unclear if they are the same person). It seemed careful to show bosses that would link to either Qwynevere or LQ, Aldrich being the odd one out but his Gwyndolin aspect was showcased pretty strong so there is that. Additionally I don't think the comparison to the painted world could be denied, which was ultimately a hiding place for Priscilla. Perhaps this will be another Painted World but this time it is the sanctuary of Gwynevere.

Is that just in EU? I got the season pass and nothing has downloaded yet, also the DLC itself is still marked as preorder in the store.

So I checked and it let me buy and install the DLC.
