@Dr_Mech - trial and error won't get you through that fight, it can be brutally hard for newcomers. You need to be reasonably mobile, you can't really tank the fight; good lightning + physical armour is essential - the Silver Knight Set is a good choice in AL and if you have any twinkling titanite, then upgrade the main chest piece a couple of times.
Weapon wise, something +10 or above should see you through. Charcoal resin to add fire damage is great if you have it, Pyro spells work well too. I saw a speed run where a guy used the Crystal Halberd also found in AL to kill them quickly...
Tactics - pillars are your best ally, but watch out for their weapons clipping through them sometimes. You need to create distance and keep an eye on both O +S and use the pillar to stop O being able to glide straight at you. Once O is out of direct contact, go for a hit on Smough, then adjust your position, rinse and repeat. Watch some Youtube vids so you can recognise their movesets.
Good luck
