Ninja flipping Smough?

[Patteh]

I just encountered a dark spirit cosplaying as Smough... He hit 889 with a 2h swing, and he was able to backflip like in DS1.

Is there something I'm missing here?

[Facu]

Yep, the cheating.

[Patteh]

explain this foreign phenomena you call "cheating"

[jrubz]

great... this must mean the return of the darkwood grain ring in the dlc...

[Hezz]

"Cheating" is when someone kills you. That shouldn't happen, so clearly it must be a cheat.

*jokes, i know nina-flipping smough cosplay is actual cheats*

The only way someone can actually flip in this game is with certain Curved Swords, which have a flip as part of their moveset. A proper Smough cosplay with a Smough's hammer, even if he managed to stay below the 70% roll softcap, cannot possibly flip. Therefore, he's cheating.

Probably mined a DLC Ring from the Games Data

I honestly don't know enough to weigh in on this scenario and I don't think anyone here does.

I can make a few guesses as to what happened.

First, the possible ways that this happened without any cheating or hacking:
He had a curved sword and used it to "kick", which would make him do a fancy flip backwards.

Now, the possible ways that this happened with cheats or hacks:
He found the data that allowed the Soul of Cinder to ninja flip, and applied it to his character.
or
He found DLC-related data and applied it to his character.

The guy said it was a Smough cosplay, and he hit for 889 damage with a 2h hit. Now, he didn't specify if that was a combo or not, but evidence points to him using Smough's Hammer, which rules out the Curved Sword possibility.

What evidence? No one has mentioned the weapon being used.

Not only that, but it could be possible he had both a curved sword and a hard hitting sword in both hands at the same time, and just swapped between them as needed.

Yes. The ninja backflip is in the gamefiles and can be used with cheat engine help. It gives iframes. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHqPUPvEJ6w

I love fun hackers like that, far more amusing than the f*ckwits that just give themselves infinite stamina/speed hacks/impossible damage or whatnot. Like if you're gonna hack at least be creative ffs.

[Patteh]

Damn, that's interesting. I really do hope that ring comes in the DLC, though. Really missing backflipping like some crazy 2x4

there are lot of cheater on dark souls 3.U just have to look on youtube.
I fight copple times with players when i hit them nothing happens to them and they kill me with 1 hit.
Thats cheating.
