I like how the red line heavy attack is a reference to some of Ghirahim's lines from Skyward Sword: "You and I, we're bound by a _thread_ of fate." "We're bound by that _thread_ of fate, destined to fight." "Meet me in battle, and the _thread_ of fate that binds us will be soaked crimson with your blood!"

[@duke0salt717]

Damn I never noticed that

[@softpaw6234]

That is in turn a reference to a Japanese myth about how soul mates are bound together by a red thread of fate

[@justlearnedwhatahandleis]

Anyone notice that Ghirahim and Fi are opposites. Fi hits big groups but Ghirahim can increase damage on a single enemy. Fi is light element but Ghirahim is dark element. Also Fi is the spirit of the goddess blade and Ghirahim is the spirit of Demise’s sword

[@FrinniferFran]

And where Ghirahim is easily one of the Best Dark Warriors. Fi is unquestionably one of the worst Light Warriors. Real good Parallels

[@Flare8295]

Makes sense

[@t-nator8333]

@@FrinniferFran not to mention that in Skyward Sword, while I love that game, she is quite possibly the most annoying advisory companion in all of gaming. And yes, I do mean worse than Navi. Ghirahim on the other hand makes for one of the coolest villains in all of Nintendo.

Awe yeah, been waiting for this! Ghirahim is best flamboyant boi 10/10

[@darlarose25]

Yes when I fight him for the first time i was screaming like he so fabulous

[@blakerenimu9033]

Remember the "kill the mages to distract the officials" missions? This guy doesn't do "distraction"

[@danielmclatchie2053]

He seems like the one to kill the officials, then the mages to me

[@MakenaForest]

@@danielmclatchie2053 he kills the officials, then makes the mages kill eachother with the promise that the one to survive wins, then he kills the survivor

[@SwordsmanOrion]

These videos are great for those few characters that have mechanics beyond just mashing C combos. I was always curious of the exact effects of characters like Imp Midna and Cia since they aren't as obvious as Zelda's.

[@rustkarl]

This boi is my go-to for duels.

[@acedefective1491]

I just use zant 4 everything

[@MonadoJoJo]

I freaking love Ghirahim! He's OP and fun! A bit technical, but worth the time to learn him!

[@Flare8295]

I have legit mastered Ghirahim in this game while also enhancing him to the Max Level making me a True Ghirahim Master

[@fishboi1891]

Ghirahim is my tied favourite character with Skull Kid!

[@vdevendetta195]

When I was playing with grahim, I realized that when he makes appear 5 knives, and you dodge, the knifes attack forward, and that is really good with bosses and captains

[@masteroftheocarina2709]

Thank you so much for this guide. Without this, I wouldn't have been able to clear the Majora's Mask adventure map.

[@kaistephens2694]

Ghirahim is sooooo fun. Just cruelly destroying foes with his C1, it's great. One of Dark's best characters!

[@vierpariss]

tag and shoot character perfect for VS missions he can easily murder the specified target with his dagger spam

[@JoseF420]

I only thought of Ghirahim as a mediocre to average character at best, since I only played as him when I was forced to do so and thought of his strong attack as just a showy excuse to pretend you're Dio. I'm not surprised that he actually had more depth than that and that I was the one not giving him enough time to shine.

[@14akamaru]

Am I the only one who thought about Swords of Revealing Light upon seeing his targeted C3?

[@nicholasaliberti2175]

I wish his focus spirit allowed him to always use the enhanced versions of his heavy attacks.

[@limyongsteffen890]

Mr. Flashy dodge-cancel spammy.

[@aquilonthepro8319]

Didja have to do the music for the intro? It was beatiful.

[@Frogenshtein]

I played this game since it came out all the way back on Wii U, and yet I had no idea Girahim had this mechanic...

[@HCN-002OldChannel]

How to win with Ghirahim...heavy attack, heavy attack, heavy attack, heavy attack, heavy attack, repeat, repeat, repeat (or in 1v1s at least)

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

Heavy, dash, heavy, dash....

[@Jenny_Johnson]

I love ghirahim lol he’s my main man🥳

[@JosepiThe13th]

Ghirahim is honestly really good, and if it weren’t for characters like Cia and Ganondorf that require less skill to be as good with, I puke rate Ghirahim higher. However, his higher skill floor makes him only a high tier character imo.

[@BTG_gamer]

Top 5 dark characters IMO: 5- Ghirahim 4- Twili Midna 3- Zant 2- Skull kid 1- Ganondorf (Great swords)

[@Lokumun]

I think it's too bad this game didn't have some kind of pvp outlet, I think a competitive aspect would have been pretty compelling.

[@tempporary9914]

Unless I missed it, I think you forgot about his Force Special Attack.

[@selinawastaken5008]

I believe the term you were looking for at the end of the video is “swords-demon”

[@300IQPrower]

Every once in a blue moon the bokoblins he summons explode and deal a *ludicrous* amount of damage, but even after all these years I can't find anyone certain how to activate that part of the attack. Considering his regular string finisher seems bugged to deal almost no damage i'm wondering if they were meant to explode whenever he's tethered and it just bugged out in the final product....

[@shadowbolthaseo1861]

I am pretty sure you didn't say what the yellow bar dose for him and the green one either

[@thelastsock6567]

What if fi and girahim are brother and sister

[@zero-pointgamer]

Girahim's true name is giraham

[@walkingmarshmallow6895]

What's his special?

[@afeiden]

so is he a aword like fi?

when you have a enemy targeted then do c3 he summons the swords of reveling light.

i did not know any of this

[@dorohime7001]

Okay but how do I get attack badges for him

[@gearsoftime9375]

You need the knights uniform

[@Thephoenixofstories]

3:21 bro picked the same Missions in different Universes 🤣

[@raedenjay]

what does his "final form" offer? can you just play in that form?

[@thepinkcoin1512]

thats just a cosmetic for the focus spirit, you can see the gauge going down during that part of the video

[@Clouds12012]

Im frustrated cuz id rather play as ANY of the other characters than him but i need to play him in order to get stuff for my favorites. I hate his gameplay so much cuz i cant get used to it at all and only want to use him bare minimum to get all the hero of time era clothes and Link's twilight tunic too. Any tips?

[@umbrancoven3526]

Do you mean tips on how to play ghirahim slightly better? Or just how to avoid him in general?

[@Clouds12012]

@@umbrancoven3526 How to play him better. Its ok tho cuz i overleveled him up to the point where i can spam the basic default combo

[@umbrancoven3526]

@@Clouds12012 alright. Cause I was gonna say the best way to play him with minimal effort would be target then spam the dagger volley, cause its does decent damage, getting stronger because of how easy it is to build up the dark status effect with it. Then use one of his enhance combos up close. Im not completely sure if it works how I think it does, but I think you can use the same proximity trick link w/master sword and Volga has. That way it stacks the damage of the enhanced attack, and the original attack. Again, I may be wrong, but it seems to work really well
