The Blind Swordsman Okay, I've tried archers around 80~100 tries and I'm keep dying to the one from far left. It's like I'm dying to him at around 90% of the time (10% is split between the other 3). I've tried different times of block timing, but he keeps killing me again and again (I got past them 2 times and I haven't managed to clear 2nd part 'cuz of utterly high confusion from failed attempts). What's wrong with him?

Also, the game is VERY unfriendly with explanations. Srsly, you have to die a lot guessing how your block works (you have to figure it's most likely not chargeable, lasts around 25~30f and have 60+f delay, and you have to DIE A LOT for this). On par with that, you have to guess when/how you're going to kill the enemy (okay, I can accept that, though it's highly unclear). At least half of the players are getting awfully frustrated so they can't get into the game.

OKAY, SOMETHING LIKE A TUTORIAL HERE:
You're playing blind swordman so DON'T TRY TO FIND SOMETHING IN THE SCREEN. You're gonna use your headphones (other sound devices are acceptable but obviously worse). Figure where your enemy is by his sounds, turn to him and kill him.
CONTROLS
A/D/Left/Right will rotate you 180 degrees (in the story mode at least). Nothing more.
S/Down will make you block. The block lasts approximately half a second and have much longer delay, so DON'T MASH IT. Be a tactician.
W/Up will make you attack. YOU CAN ONLY HIT ENEMY IF HE'S STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU (most of the time he's keeping a distance taunting you). You can tell he's here when he ends charging at you. So there're 2 types of dealing with opponent (only one works for different encounters): right before his attack or right after you block him.
ENCOUNERS (contain walkthrough spoilers):
1 - Failure knight
Wait for metallic sound and attack
2 - Badass flail guy
Block his attack twice and immidialetely attack
3 - Psycho assassin girl
UNCONFIRMED: Block her attack, then turn around and hit her. If you fail, prepare for second attack
4 - Hungry wolves
There are 3, so you can be confused with their steps. Wait for a bark, turn to it and attack after they bark again (you'll figure the timing soon). You'll have to do it 3 times
5 - Cowardly archers
The battle is divided by 2 parts. First, you'll have to block 4 attacks in a row. Second part is like the others (haven't got past it, so unclear how it should be cleared correctly)
