Great vid Dave! Just wanted to point out that the triple feint is also good as an offensive mix-up, i.e. you can use it after you've landed a hit and have the initiative to combo a nervous opponent. This is what happened in my duels @1:09 and in the second instance against Forely @4:09 (with the jab giving me initiative). As in neutral, it is still not a safe option, and it would be best used after conditioning opponents to accels or regular feints.
The one thing i like to remind people is that triple feints and feints in general dont really work against a brand new player that knows nothing of initiative and just swings like an ape with a sword
Wouldn’t it just be a Double Feint? Because you’re only feinting once normally by throwing two different attacks, but here you’re throwing three attacks but canceling the first (“feinting” it) and only feinting the second
Good point, but I didn't name it! I'm assuming the competitive community refers to it as a triple feint because that's how many attack animations there are.
@@user-wr6dj4ib9o Its not that funny, just imagine feinting giving money to the cashier and then pull back when they try to grab it. Repeat tree times.
@@walton836Square??? Having the cancel be a face button means you have to take your thumb off the right analog stick to cancel which means you can no longer track your opponents movements or even look while canceling
only thing you can really do is gamble or use jabs often so your opponent is less likely to try pull this. fast weapons countering the second feint might hit before the third feint makes contact, too.
You could technically go for a kick, but the enemy could just attack to avoid having their guard broken. The Triple Feint is just another option. As Shinbop said, this is just another tool to add to your toolbox which shouldn't be overused.
@@SoterDave I think people already knew, it’s a mechanic and of course someone is going to try to manually feint three times. Who actually first used it in anyway we shall never know but the person you mentioned in chat indeed utilized it in comp duels.
Im a starting youtuber myself (54 subs) and I know how hard it is to get support. Although I didnt watch your video, Imma leave a like a sub because we brothers in the hustle.

Thank you

Brand new players simply holding block and left clicking me while I do the most stupendous combo imaginable and I die

@@JOBAVALONDONONLY420 it do be like that
Thank you and Shinbop for this. This is by far the best explanation I've heard on this subject. I think I understand it enough to attempt it now.
Glad we could help!
Rest in peace to my friend Dave ❤️ 🕊️
wtf Dave is dead?

Essential tips for every beginner to improve their game! 👌
As per usual!
I enjoy doing the triple feint when giving money to the cashier
I laughed out loud at this comment
i dont get it
@@user-wr6dj4ib9o Its not that funny, just imagine feinting giving money to the cashier and then pull back when they try to grab it. Repeat tree times.
@@suuujuuus That shit is hilarious
@@suuujuuus Dude said give the cashier money then pull back 3 times lmaoooo
I've been doing this for a while in TOs and I get gambled most of the time.
would definitely only use this mechanic in duels!
When it comes to noobs, if they're inexperienced enough to where they don't even go for counters then this probably wouldn't help you
chiv is starting to look like mordhau
Just a little!
given how complicated mordhau is with their entire game i would quit probably
I thought I'd seen it all but that fake throw was dope af
Yeah Shinbop the goat
I can't cancel and I don't know how I'm on playstation
Not sure what the control is on Playstation. I would check the official Discord and ask around

Start your swing then click the block button (left trigger) and it will cancel!
Sorry for necro, but perhaps this will help someone else :)

There's plenty of options to negate this technique's effectiveness
Since this video made me faint, is it now the quadruple feint?
Yes!
Did homie really hit that octuple feint? 0:51 He's a Top G
Yeah Shinbop is the goat and probably the only player who could pull it off.
If you see them hold block while your fainting multiple times can't you just kick them?

Well thanks, but if you're starting out CZcams you should know watching a video all the way through is just as helpful as liking and subscribing!
@@SoterDave Dude said I didn't watch you video but let me plug my channel real quick lmao
FIRST
second
Really a double feint, but whatever lol
True. Technically it is a double feint, but we call it the triple feint because there are three actions or three separate animations.
Dont teach people this, this is so bad to look at.
Git gud
@@mitchel123234
I'm obligated to teach people everything about the game!
@@SoterDave Do you have a gun to your head? You're not obligated bro, keep this scummy ugly looking stuff hidden.
@@lozio586 Sometimes these techniques don't often look pretty, but they're still worth learning!
