New Dark Souls 2 Riposte Demonstrated In Beta (Guard Break!)

We have video demonstrating a new type of riposte on Dark Souls 2. Check out this short and sweet video showing off how you can take out enemies in short order.

Commenters claim this is the new guard break move, and it definitely fits the description. Straight out of a fighting game, guard break lets you hit an opponent while their shield is up, forcing their defenses down, and then striking with an immediate follow up. As From Software has promised, the game is going to force people to get out of their comfort zones and try new strategies.

Do you like the new changes? Hate it? Are you scared? There’s more where that came from! Dark Souls 2 is coming for you March 11 on Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows.
