PSA for new players: toggle escape (how to evade stunlocks)

[Malu]

Please please please, if you see somebody with a Murakumo/Zweihander get ready to toggle your weapon if you get hit. This actually prevents infinite stunlocks taking advantage of animation priority (weapon swap has priority over stun animation), just be ready to dodge the incoming hits. I've been invading with a Kumo and it's no fun if all it takes is a single hit to win. Also you might want to notice if the invader is using full giants armor: in that case he is going to be able to poise through your Ultra Greatsword.
