Lag. Or he was cheating. One of those two. Never anything else. I am objectively the best player of any game in the world and those who disagree will be fragged. Unless there’s lag. Or you cheat. 😤

But seriously: I love Soulsborne games for the PVP. Unless they really are cheating (usually just in the form of using complicated exploits like move swapping), it was their skill over mine or I just completely fucked up. Elden Ring, on the other hand, feels messed up. DS3 has lag, sure, but it’s something you quickly get accustomed to and it’s pretty consistent. ER’s (stock, anyway) multiplayer is straight up garbage. Can’t even co-op without rubber banding all over the place. I’ve gotta see if Seamless Co-op is generally all around better for connectivity because the vanilla game’s is horrible.
