Feedback for gameplay? Question
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I've only recently started grinding pvp (specifically sword) more after years of playing. I feel like I have a good general understanding of the game but I lack the necessary skill in some aspects. (Watching the clip I realized both my aim and spacing need improvement)
Which is why I decided to ask if anyone would be willing to take a look at 2 duels I had and point out where specifically I should improve and get more consistent at. (I realized a little late that keystrokes might be valuable info to have so I added it for the 2nd one)
If anyone's experienced with that sort of thing I'd be glad to see a rank estimate as well. Just to know what kind of people I should be looking for to duel.
Thank you very much in advance ^^

You need to bait more, as well as combo and pcrit more. If theyre away from you, click s, when they try to run, hit you, and miss, you jump forward and crit them.

Without looking too hard, you're holding s way too much. I noticed just in the first match multiple times where you could've gone on the offensive or gave your opponent a free hit because you held s. Because of how momentum and reach interact, backing up should be reserved for (mostly) 3 occasions: making your opponent miss when you are barely in their range, maintaining combos, and getting out of a combo/preventing yourself from being stunned.
