-If available, use a bow before you use a sword, that way it can slightly weaken the enemy and then you can go for the kill.
-Attack the enemy from the sides and the back, and take extreme care when hitting from where they can see you.
-Don't block and hit at the same time, it reduces your mobility and doesn't provide much protection.
-Never run away, even if you are close to death. Just keep fighting.
-Use anything you have to fight. Even if it's a stone sword against a guy in iron armor, or worst case scenario a golden/wooden sword against a guy in diamond, you still have a chance at beating the enemy.
-Keep ender pearls with you in the event the enemy is too powerful.
-Never go out in exposed areas. Go in areas with lots of cover.
-When having a bow fight, always find some form of cover to protect yourself.
-For shooting a moving target, anticipate when the enemy will move from point A to point B and try to time the shots so that you hit ahead of where the person is going.
A lot of people say CHARGE, but actually PvP has a lot of tactical stuff.
Circle your opponent. A lot of people just stand still and swing their sword. Work your way around them. Jump and sprint a lot.
Don't lose focus.
Bring lots of gear. Diamond tools, enchant them, lava and water bucket, potions etc.
PRACTICE.
Find what techniques suit you. I like circling, backing up, attack, back up, pewpewpew with a bow.
So lately I have been trying to get better at PvP, I can be decent at times but if the opposition has better armor or enchants then me I am pretty much toast =\. I am decent with parkour, I can run and hit easily and spin around, attack, then spam. I am decent with the bow as well, when in trouble I usually sprint then start shooting whoever I am killing. Whenever the opposition has a fire aspect sword it's an automatic death for me as well, I usually try to use teamwork to fight others but when I am the only one on I am s screwed.
Thanks for the help in advance, I hope I get some good guides.
Usually I don't bother, but since you're a friend of mine I'd be willing to teach you...
I'm not willing to throw out all my secrets on a public forum though.
I'm one of the most pro pvpers out there, lol. Well first of all your computer has to be good enough to even keep track of your ooppents player movements, lol. You should ALWAYS try to attack from behind, and theirs a secret technique you can do while you faceing the enemy face to face is by right AND left clicking your mouse at the same time, it damages them and protects you together, for potions I would say a strength 2, speed 2, and for hurting the enemy use like poison, instant damage, and weakness if you seem the have lamer armor or something. And yeah, eat a enchanted golden apple, their really superb, lol.

Stack up on Golden apples, brew some poison potions. If you poison yourself use a milk bucket. My idea is that you fire arrows at them first then eat an enchanted golden apple then spin around them spamming poison potions and hitting them with your sword.
(Yes, I realize this was bumped.) I don't PvP much, but to all those saying that ender pearls do damage, you're right, but it's considered fall damage, meaning Feather Falling is your friend in PvP if you plan on ender pearling (or fighting near a steep drop).
I don't think "skill" in PvP matters very much. If you can throw potions well from a distance, that's all that matters in my opinion I guess. I have not really met people who have consistently "done well" or "know how to use a sword"... those concepts are alien to me. Get the best enchantments, weapons, and potions, and you're set. If you go against someone with equal gear you are at the mercy of your internet connection.
One way to get better is try and use a fishing rod. When you are just about to come into contact with someone, throw the fishing line. If done correctly, it will make them lose a hit and will let you gain one. For more info on this, go to youtube and look up Grapeapplesauce. He is heck off good at pvp and for more tips you should watch him. Also try using a flint and steel. Also, don't get intimidated, and keep calm. Most of this is for Survival Games type of stuff.
A good strategy I use is to circle around an opponent while hitting them. This can sometimes result in you landing more hits on them. But while you do circle around them, it could be a good idea to jump at the same time - results in landing critical hits. too
I play on the omega realm prison server am one of the gods of the server over 1300+ kills
When i go in pvp i bring a stack of notch apples 4 sets of prot 3 and a sharp 5 fire 2 sword.
NEVER USE KNOCKBACK it is bad when trying to hit them many times because it pushed them away so they are harder to hit.
It may seem like i use a lot to pvp but on these servers they are op servers.
IF you are not on a op server just get high lvl enchants if not possible still enchant at a low level always sword then chest then legs then boots then helm always in this order for max damage and protection.
Practice with a friend on the server. Play a friendly match with them and see what method works for you. I like to do the creeper-kill style. Sprint, 3 Critical attacks (Diamond Sword), go back. And repeat. And try to have good armor. With enough skill, and low-lvl enchanted diamond armor, It'll be way easier for you to win
Oh my god. This is the example of a noob. Everyone on this forum is so horrible at pvp. Creator of this topic, dont listen to these noobs. Look up Zephhyre, rinoranchero or StimpyPvP on youtube to learn to pvp. Pvp isnt wacking someone with a sword. PvP is combos, strafes, quickdropping, hotkeying, refilling, jitter clicking, jitter hitting, shift strat, crit hits, etc. These idiots are just telling you waht gear to use, with pvp skill you can beat the best opponent.
This stuff is all well and good, but one thing works better than any other. Practice. The best server for practice is lichcraft duelling. Good luck!!!!
Well, considering combat is nothing but spam clicking the left mouse button, that's pretty much impossible.

It's far more advanced than that.

On-Topic: Splash Potions of Poison. They just punch diamond armor in the face.
2. Train in Mob Arena a lot
3. Train on a Team Deathmatch or Survival Games server.
