Maybe knights could get a sick spinning backhand move?

Running in circles was totally part of the design :p

It seems like Knights will always miss if you sprint towards and past their off hand during their swing windup. They always seem to do vertical strikes with their right hand with their left hand as their blindspot.

From what I can tell by dying a whole bunch is that jumping backwards is useless, but rushing their left (which is my/your right when facing a knight) resulted in their sword strike missing.

I'm at work right now but if anyone could test that it would be great.

You seemed to test that theory rather well. Running in counter-clockwise circles was working for me, which would have me running towards their off hand nonstop...

It's interesting that they gave everyone in the game a gun that increases slide extra distance (Murmur).

Seriously, he had two or three knights at a time swinging at him, all missing. Also, crouching at the right time helps.

They've batted me out of the air several times during the nightfall.
