They’re so good in fact, that players have come to calling near misses “hitbox porn” in honor of just how great it feels to see that arrow narrowly avoid your face, or to dive and dip between an enemies sword slashes. Here’s a collection in homage to the best near misses.

Sometimes the best way to get in on an enemy is just duck right under every hit they try to land.There have even been some pretty insane videos out there of players taking advantage of the ability to dodge under enemy attacks and just absolutely wreck them.

There’s a ton of other really great examples out there. Have you had any awesome moments like this in the newer Dark Souls game? If so, show us below in the comments, we’d love to see more of your awesome gameplay.
