Talk:Dragon Slayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough/@comment-5613590-20130101033525/@comment-101.165.104.160-20130821001845

Smough gives more windows to attack and is much, much slower, giving you plenty of time to heal. And when fighting solo, greatly damaging Ornstein before Smough appraoch is easier.

Ornstein is generally more tactical, require you to make as few mistake as possible.

Still, if you have practice fighting Super Ornstein and have no problem finishing off the first round, then he is not much more difficult than Super Smough. Not to mention Smough's attacks indeed do more damage and are harder to block.

I also find Smough's butt slam having a wider range than Ornstein's, nearly impossible to completely dodge, making Super Ornstein a preferable choice beyond NG.
