Welcome to my journal about peculiar playstyles i've encountered over the years that i've played!

Most of the people included here are EU duelers, but i'm open in adding people from other regions as well. If you or someone you know has a unique playstyle let me know about it!

Such including: Erwin, SwordsMan, DOA│Kirby, Sir Stanley

The master of held parry


Playstyle
• His playstyle consists of doing swing manip with 1 handers mostly with Falchion or the Mace. His starting move is usually held parry into accel or drag, then in the fight he sometimes backs down to get a held parry up and attack you again. He also has wacky looking combo with the mace :D


Fun facts about MauriceB
• The first time i saw him was back in 2020 on VK duelyard, right after the shield rework. So he pretty much picked up on it immideatly :D
• Mostly plays casually and for fun, you can see him at random times roaming any duelserver
• After killing you he will salute your dead corpse, what a gentleman :3
• Has reached Elite IV on ranked, so he's quite a tough opponent




Held parry drag


Held parry accel


Crouch combo

Short spear god


Playstyle
• Koba's playstyle consists of doing spins and dodges. When you attack him he will dodge his way out of range making you miss which he then punishes with a neutral or a feint. Once he's close enough he will do a spinning move which he mixes up with morphs and feints. When he's winning on stamina he starts to spam stabs by hiding the wind up behind the kite shield and feinting them. Which is really difficult to hard read forcing you to chamber them losing stamina even faster

Fun facts about KOBA
• He started using short spear because it was a random weapon he picked up on, what motivated him to get good with it was because everyone said that it's a bad weapon
• His highest rank is Elite 6, which was achieved by beating Bruno and Stouty
• Loves to farm people on noob duelyards :D



Spin morphs and spin stab


Dodges

Greatest fister



Playstyle
• Mary will keep his distance and close in once he sees and opportunity to get a hit, if he gets it he will continue the combo. If he doesn't he'll use dodge to get away but if he can't he'll do a "Body dodge". Sometimes he misses on purpose to bait you punish the miss, and then continues the combo miss and get a hit anyway. He's really experienced with fists so he can predict what attacks you will read, panic parry or chamber

Fun facts about Mary Gibbs
• He has won an official fist only tournament which earned him the crown, which is pretty hillarious to think that a fist only guy got a crown when alot of good competive players haven't :D
• Has reached Elite 1 with fish only
• Hosts his own dojo on discord with over 500+ members teaching other people about the art of fisting
• 10% chance of making killed player uninstall


Fist combo


Dodges


Bonus clip, rather face death than Mary Gibbs :D

Beyblade



Playstyle
• Suomij playstyle consists of doing doing spins and swing manipulation, alot of the times he mixes both :D When he gets a hit he'll usually continue the combo with a spin. Sometimes he just parries and goes goes for a WAIT FOR IT... YOU GUESSED IT!!! A SPINNING MOVE!! which he mixes up with morphs and feints* You know i'm starting to think this guy likes spinning...

Fun facts about suomij
• Has been made a MORDHAU bullsh*ttery video about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EotDbX6qi-o
• Reminisces about his glory days when he was young... Now he's and old man (18)
• Loves spinning SURPRISE SURPRISE
• Has reached Elite 3 on ranked




Spinning drags


Hyper accel


Spinning stabs

Calculative spear user

Playstyle
• His main attack is the hidden windup stab, which he mixes up with morphs and feints. He plays really passively so he's never losing on stamina, for example doing stabs and morphs so you either chamber the stab or are forced to use Feint to parry losing 10 stamina. Hard reading him is really difficult especially when he hides the stabs windup and drags the morph. He also has really good footwork with his signature 212 loadout so you're gonna miss him alot.

Fun facts about Opel
• His wisdom is "To win, you need to build your own philosophy of the game. Each player is unique and the game gives everyone the opportunity to reveal their potential. Don't follow the beaten path, blaze your own path."
• Has reachted Elite 3 on ranked
• The first time i saw him was back in 2019 and i remember he was so frustrating to fight agains't since he constantly backed away and stab spammed me :D oh bring me back to the glory days...
