The Genichiro fight on the top of Ashina Castle was one of the greatest boss fight experiences I’ve ever had. I had been struggling and struggling for days against him. Then one day the whole game just kind of clicked. I had to stop rushing through the fight and take it more like a dance, and I had to start treating my dance partner with more patience and let him make the mistakes. This game is awesome and I love it.

It truly does feel like you’re dancing with them, following a single rhythm once you got it. I lost easily 30 times in a row to Genichiro and after being absolutely blown to pieces in the last round I respawned and entered almost god mode I deflected all the deflectable attacks and only got hit once. I was shaking at the end of the fight I wasn’t expecting a 2nd phase and the last cut scene almost gave me a heart attack lmao

I agree, it was probably my favorite boss fight in the game, it's (for the most part) the only fight I have gone back to in reflection of strength just to master it to the point I can no hit the entire fight, it really does feel like a dance, and of course, silly me thought that me mastering that fight would be applicable to the inner genichiro fight....I was humbled quickly.

@AlbinoVEVO 5 жыл бұрын

One thing to note about tip 15, if you spam block, your deflect timing window will stagnate temporarliy (less frames), meaning you will be much less likely to land a deflect if you use this method than if you were to try timing it properly. I would recommend holding block, and then releasing it and re-applying it quickly when you think an attack is going to land, that way you're safe from fast attacks that could catch you off-guard. Great video though!

One thing that really helped me in this game coming from DS is realizing that you have to play more aggressively defensive. As in, you want to be up in your enemy's face but once you're there, you want to play more defensive and counter your enemy's hits compared to the souls games. Hesitation is defeat.

Another thing you can do, is use the Feathers when you're about to get hit by lightning, I don't remember if it automatically jumps you upwards or if you have to jump manually, but then you can still use the lightning to strike back. It gives you a MASSIVE window to strike back instead of possibly messing it up.

Sekiro: There's no stamina, but posture, which recovers faster when blocking Players: Play this game exactly the other way how you played Dark Souls and Bloodborne and don't dodge! Me: THERE IS NO STAMINA??!! * runs the whole boss fight against the blazing bull and Lady Butterfly and only stops to deal single HP blows from behind * After the first two tries, those two bosses were actually among the easiest for me. I know this is not how I'm supposed to play, but I think the game is the easiest, if you consider a wide variety of gameplay styles matching your individual situations. Blocking and parrying for most enemies, outrunning huge and fast enemies, using prosthetics against enemy gadgets, using prosthetics as gadgets it situations get out of hand, dodging sideways for enemies who mainly rely on strong vertical attacks, mikirin counters against spears, etc. ... If you add the stealth, I think this game actually offers the most variety in minute to minute gameplay over any souls game.

I spent maybe four hours straight on that fight and at some point I naturally found out the block dancing thing mentioned here while panicking. And then when facing Genichiro, I learned how to go from panic mashing block to finding the rhythm of an enemy's attack string, thus changing a hit on me into massive posture damage for them. It's incredible how naturally you can learn techniques in Sekiro.

Honestly I think deflecting is a lot easier in this game, except maybe for DS3's caestus. What annoys me to no end is that this time around that makes the game even harder to keep up with, since bosses will casually eat a perfect parry like it's nothing and continue their 10-hit combos, or even worse, just melt 60% of your HP with a single hit.

Reason why it's harder than Dark Souls: DS you ONLY focused on pressing dodge by timing the enemy's actions. Sekiro you MUST focus on the correct actions, from Dodging/Block/Jumping, or else you will be punished. Therefore your brain has to learn to prepare & react to all variety of actions at the right time. Dark Souls you can lay back and just think about pressing that Dodge button only.

Just picked up sekiro about a month ago, and I thought i was doing something wrong because i was so good in all the other souls games. Seeing this changed my perspective of how to play this so thank you Vaati!

This has been my favorite soulsborne game by far, they took chances on certain things that would be latter implemented into Elden Ring (which I CANNOT wait for) and like you said the combat and stealth were done incredibly well. I always love you videos, Ill find myself getting ready to play a game and come across one of yours, next thing I know its almost 2 hours later and haven't even started my game yet.
