The right way to fight him the first time is the following: fast roll, no buffs, weapon without extreme damage-per-hit damage and decent/high poise damage and most importantly, no phantoms.

It might seem dumb to cripple yourself by so much, but there is no better feeling than the one of beating the mighty Artorias through sheer skill and patience. Trust me. This is the right way to fight him. And you'll agree once you do it yourself.
