Nioh 2: Stance Switching

[@mahatajam2563]

Your videos make me feel like I'm studying Samurai 101: Intro to Applied Stances in college. Love it.

[@PooferLlama]

Nicely done! Always nice to have your expert take on the game mechanics :)

[@BrilliantSunsGaming]

Great tutorial man! Wonderful explanations and what I like best is that you're not getting into anything too complicated while explaining the basics. I know that if I were a new player to this game I'd appreciate the consideration that you showed by just explaining what each stance does in more depth than the base tutorial does. Well done!

[@OntzetttendeJan]

Your videos should be included in the game tutorial itself. Thank you so much.

[@LasttoLoad]

But people skips tutorials ;_;

[@a-abelase9887]

I'm finally playing Nioh 1 and I've already seen your guides about it, but this is extremely helpful even for me because I can now see the controller pressing. Thank you so much and keep up the great work! ^^

[@LasttoLoad]

Thank you! Having a controller layout surely helps picturing how to do it accurately.

[@burdconcurred7513]

Watching this while the game is downloading on steam. Thanks mate!

[@TheDocbach]

I love how the ending of this vid teases newcomers. Yes, the stance switching is a nescessary step, but unless you know how to Iai quick draw, you wont be able to do the flashy stuff at the end of the vid. Keeps the newbs coming back for more. Genius.

[@LasttoLoad]

Thats right! Stance switching is an important step to get into Nioh's core gameplay.

[@pctechsupporthelp1]

Thanks for taking the time to make it very detailed and simple for us newbs to understand!!!! cant wait to get started!!!

[@shadowofthehitokiri5787]

I have 100 hours in the game by now and I only just started learning the benefits of switching stances mid fight. Great vid.

[@LasttoLoad]

nice! it does make your playthrough easier to play.

[@francescosaponaro966]

You deserve so many more subscribers man.

Amazing tutorial and explanation! Excellent video for beginners! Very well organized and shown!

[@LasttoLoad]

Thank you! It is a valuable feature to learn!

[@raisklose6785]

This is such a well made video

[@JedikingPower]

Never know that high stance have longer than other stance thanks.

[@LasttoLoad]

It certainly does! Its great to use when its hard to dodge certain attack that seems to hit you everytime (like giant body slam).

[@khoryu344]

Loving all the videos! Just a question, is there a reason why when you stance switch you go through all of the stances? Is that just out of habit I'm assuming?

[@LasttoLoad]

its to trigger one of the skill called flux ll. Switching stance during a ki pulse allows you to gain extra ki up to 2 time. You can look here for more detail. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3nWaZRudtKIjqM

"...but it is just a dark souls clone!"

[@LasttoLoad]

[@zerothehero.takeasip6612]

Last to Load ???

[@LasttoLoad]

On second though, you are right. Its a Sekiro clone.

[@zerothehero.takeasip6612]

Last to Load listen to reddit and you will be fine XD

[@koffinkat666]

Incredible video! I had to find your video because all the videos I watched before were Dogsh*t at explaining, You sir got the real Samurai in you! I am playing Nioh 1 so I am sure most of these principles still stand......hopefully.

[@LasttoLoad]

This video does apply to Nioh 1 as principles! the 1 hour guide that I have made is also compatible. Gameplay in nioh 1 and 2 is almost identical so you can transfer your experience just fine.

[@tommyvandriessche592]

I try to toggle through my stances by sliding my thumb over the buttons but the game doesn't pick it up. Am I doing sth wrong?

[@LasttoLoad]

the input have to be precise. Make sure to not have most face button pressed at same time by letting go some of it.

[@thesamuraiman]

I played Nioh 1, so I expected the different stances to have different dodge ki consumption, but I tested it before and it wasn't different. Could there be a reason to that?

[@LasttoLoad]

Im pretty sure that each stance have different ki cost on evasion. One reason could be because your weapon is sheathed. If weapon is unsheathed, the ki cost applies on each stance.

[@wasdwasd609]

This game is such an underrated gem. Smashed through Elden Ring in a couple of days no issues. Problem is the NG+ system is dogshit. Nioh 2's endgame is just top fucking tier man I just can't even. I'm so bad at stance switching and being good at this game. I mean, I can do all the content and typically just sit in low stance forever lol. Just the skill ceiling for this game seems to be intense.

[@Jerret17]

👺👍

[@XenojinHayabusa615]

If only "Gamers" didn't skip the tutorials...smh 😤

[@LasttoLoad]

Its ok, I have 2000 hours in souls game.
