God of War Ragnarok - The Hateful: Spartan Wrath Gameplay - Give Me God of War: No Damage (PS5)

The Hateful can be launched and air combo’d by using Spartan Wrath on a Draugr inflicted with Hex or a well timed sigil arrow. Windstorm runic attack work as well. Fairly difficult enemy to juggle considering you can’t use attacks that push the enemy downwards (R2 attacks) as Hateful draugr don't bounce once they hit the ground. Anyhow, really fun to play around with different combo's and death from above opportunities!

[@edgardkerr3888]

Your skill is unmatched. Other GOW KZbinrs do all sorts of shananingans with runic cancels and animation cancels, but you play with such a style. So crisp and smooth, like a real pro. Also, loved you let Freya finish some of them with great style too.

[@edgardkerr3888]

@@thanos5149 chill, bro, I meant no disrespect. Obviously, all the other guys are very talented and found ways to combine all sorts of attacks. I just don't like the way it looks on the screen. Also, I didn't mention anyone, you did. I'm also subscribed to GBG, but I prefer SmvR style. Think of it like tennis: Federer played with elegance and style, and Nadal hits pretty hard. Both are excellent, but I prefer Federer. Goes the same with GOW youtubers. Again, I meant no disrespect.

[@XDG]

1:40 the Freya alley-oop !😂 Crisp gameplay as usual GS!

[@SmvR]

😂 Appreciate it XDG

[@MattyDub24]

That juggle in the first fight was insane lol

[@MrPekmano]

5:44 that axe switching from left to right hand linking up with the wrath outburst is so cool

[@j.taylor822]

Damn! Nice catch! Never noticed that til now. Cleanest GOW gameplay ever🦾

[@ElAlexis5679]

Tbh, I don't like runic cancel, they look ugly during gameplay imo, so watching this type of combat is amazing! You're insane dude!

[@loushia16]

They ruined them in this game. Runic Cancels had much smoother animations and transitions in the 2018 game. Probably because they were unintended.

[@MoviesandGameslover]

I agree. Even in the last game l didn't like it, that's why SmvR is my go to God of War pro channel.

[@neoaliens8635]

Runic Cancel always looks somewhat buggy; it just depends on which one you are canceling. It's never intended or by design. That said, I don't like so-called the intended way to play God of War 2018 either simply because the official combo lists are not rich enough while many moves can be too slow without using any animation cancel or they simply look dull. Ragnarok makes things better in some ways while also taking steps back in some area. Guess depending on what kind of player you are, you will find your own balance between utilizing everything in the game intended or not, and simply utilizing only what's intended to put in the game by developers

[@SmvR]

While I agree that runic cancel animations aren’t exactly appealing, it’s undeniable that the level of skill involved with incorporating them into gameplay is really impressive. That being said, recovering from long attack animations that you normally have to wait out isn’t consistent with how the developers intended you to play. But that’s just me, play the game however you want and enjoy it 😁

[@MoviesandGameslover]

@@SmvR I agree with you, doing runic cancel does take a lot of skill and practice. It's just that for me I prefer to play with what the devs implemented, while also pushing the line with what the game could do. I myself am trying to find that line in order to be better.

[@Imaxinacion]

This is what I call a real combo video. No runic attack spams, no glitchy animation cancels, plenty of dodging and parrying makes this really seamless and impressive. A feast for the eyes.

[@AAbiolAA]

0:10 That hateful didnt know what hit him when he started levitating!

[@RAGE-OF-SPARTA-X]

4:46 I always love the big slam attacks into rage activations, they always look so cool.

[@kushiskinng]

Smvr is literally playing like Kratos: "In moments of crisis, panic does nothing.. harness it.. let it soathe you" I mean I just press the shit out of double tap dodge with red attacks and you are just doing a precise timed single dodge and then juggling them around like a ball. Great play as always!

[@GodphaddaLj445]

Non stop juggle combo action. Mind blowing coordination supreme execution is precise. Very entertaining had to replay and watch from the beginning again.

[@r-ichness612]

2:50 The way you finished him off was smooth as butter 👌🏾

[@gemini2in1]

4:25-4:39 that combo that lead to that axe spinning around and stunning all of them to the 'give em one more'.

[@IheartIIDX619]

Some of the cleanest gameplay this side of the net. He doesn't even need animation cancels to be god-like at this game. The Freya finisher was just *chef's kiss*.

[@jreign7567]

Damn, dude that first encounter was just insane!

[@johnarcher6150]

Its fitting that's Freya's AI just has her stand there while your Kratos just does nonstop combos and just executes the wraiths.

[@pauljustingarde477]

I just cant put into words how these combos are beautifully and brutally executed man. I just can't. Plus the momentary pauses in between those combos are too clean and pefect. Hands down 🙌. To me, you are the best gow content creator that exists 🔥

[@sickofdying314]

Ok, the juggling was cool, but this was the first time I've seen the Spear aimed R2 attack and thought it actually has a use. I really thought it was a weird mechanic to include, but your use of it was very creative give you utilize the fact they are frozen to explode against non-frozen mobs. +1

You just did a DMC juggle combo in GoW holy! Interesting use of the Valkyrie Rond as well, I was wondering if that would be useful in combos.

I had so much of a challenge with these guys, but bro your capacity to keep them air juggled is amazing. And I also liked that one when it ended with Freya doing that slam after your Wrath slam as well. This whole video is totally insane.

[@dealomarilla1753]

SmvR yet another super sensational upload. Man the way you play GOW is the best I have ever seen. All of your moves are set up for the execution of the next attack and so on and so on. That shows me that you have already though out this A$$ whipping you are about to dish out before you even start to play. Amazing fore thought, one of the many reasons I love watching your clips, combos. There are other great player of GOW but trust me when I say in my opinion your skills surpass them all. Skill for skill, all your moves are intentional not random button play. Amazingly great content, keep up loading and I will keep watching and commenting!!

[@zazobege]

OMG that third fight was gorgeous, well done, I don't know if I could pulled those combos off even though I've seen you use similar tactics as I for some fights. When I first encountered that last fight in vanaheim, by myself, for the first time, I felt like it was doable and had a strategy in mind. I realized it would take time to learn and it was hard being low leveled so I left it for then until I returned with an ally you can call upon to distract the enemy when freya could only observe and not be an ally. My idea was to do what a spartan would on that narrow bridge and let the enemies funnel through one at a time and pushing them back as needed until their numbers dwindled.

[@zazobege]

Additionally if the enemies got behind me I wanted to try to lure them back to one side and retry the strategy. Given that there was a tree one could use on the opposite side it seemed like the developers expected the fight might pour into the area in the back.

[@sternritterhaschwalth153]
