It is depressing watching a youtuber playing it like Dark Souls.

I can agree with some of the critics, but in the end, the combat works very well, is very fun to play and has the best pack of bosses in any action melee game ever.

Is there a boss rush mod yet?

Face it weebs, Suckiro is trash. Miyazaki is all washed up. SAD!

What is sad is what happened to Fallout franchise, not a great action/adventure game that unskilled players that can't beat it, or people wanting another RPG, think is bad.

Not impressed with this so far chaps. Combat feels way more digital than the Souls games or Nioh, and it really lacks the demonic edge which both those games have too.

It's also too easy to stealth the game so far, and the actual bosses seem to go down easier to button bashing because of the lack of a stamina gauge, than they do considered tactics.

Only a few hours in (killed the first general now in that dream area), but it's got some catching up to do.

I just recently discovered these videos, not sure if these has been posted before
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5zhOAf7tRrMMi1rH4c9VO46a2KP045vI





I failed a [Reading Comprehension] check on that Senpou Leaping Kick description saying it started with an 'anti-air counter' :oops: so that's why I executed an anti-air deathblow when performing it at roughly the same time as those hat monks jumping up in the air, huh...

Also, those cool stuff you can perform with Shadowrush. I've always wondered why Shadowrush exists when Shadowfall at least do something after the jump.

you can insta kill the monks (and the headless shaman dude) the moment they jump just by jumping yourself. you dont need that move.

Sample A:

Sample B:

https://streamable.com/kxzv6

I know all that. Anti-Air Deathblow is some cool shit that's, unfortunately, not train-able with Hanbei so you're left to your own devices to experiment and play around with it. I guess some people also missed it because you can only get it from a trader who also happened to be a midget. Been performing it on those cocks when they jumped in the air and I deflected them, and also been trying to use it on Shichimen Warrior but it's a bit tricky until you get used to it, and also needing divine confetti.

I was just pointing out the fact that leaping kick, as per its description, started *with* an anti-air counter move, which explains why I automatically performed anti-air deathblow on those monks when I performed it at roughly the same time as they jumped, most probably because the anti-air counter interrupt their jumping move and makes them a target for anti-air deathblow. The video also demonstrate how the anti-air counter move works, though I'm not sure if he had anti-air deathblow at the time or not.

The video doesn't illustrate any combat art. It's simply a jump followed by an attack. A target doesn't need to be interrupted to be vulnerable to an anti-air deathblow, so leaping kick is useless for dealing with airborne peeps.

You just shat in the bed.

Your videos are showing the Anti-Air Deathblow skill.

That's how much you've played Sekiro.

Fucking expert.
