AnonymousThe vertical swinging Ultra Greatswords like the Greatsword (Guts Sword) and the Fume Ultra Greatsword are so damn satisfying to swing for me, the way the animation looks showing how much weight and strength you put into it slamming down the massive blade and the satisfying cleaving sound they make when they hit something as well the way their swings make a big WOOSH most of the time is just pure ecstasy to me, sure the horizontal swinging ones are pretty satisfying too, but I've always found the vertical swinging UGS's especially fun to use.

As an ultra-greatsword lover who always uses them in these games, this game having by far the most of them of all the games, and the most variety when it comes to them, fills me with great happiness.

I'm a UGS main which is why DS2 is my favorite due to weapon selection
There's only like what, 4 interesting UGS in DS3 (RKPUGS, Profaned, Farron, Lorian's)
Fake Fume doesn't count

You're gonna end up using these at one point or another. The variety for different builds and stagger potential is just too good to pass up

fromsoft deciding to replace the overhead slashing running attack with a ****ing golf swing running attack for these was the best idea ever, i wish the greathammers had it as well.
