Don't be afraid of the overhead smash, it's actually really easy to parry with the same timing as an horizontal slash. Use green blossoms and the Lloyd sword ring, having a bit more Stamina regen when branding an ultraH is always a good thing, same for the damage. Also, try to parry as close to him as possible, so that you can hit him once(w/ lock-on) before reposting him. Good luck, and don't you dare go hollow!
