[@i_am_macgyver84]

There is so much in this game and so many different ways to do things. I think I was over 100 hours in when I found out if you drop flint with a wood pile and hit it with a sword it would start the fire, lol. Before that I would use either a flame weapon or fire arrow, haha.

LeCoolFace how does parry cancel works?

[@SkywardSquittle]

@@weaboo101 Parry and then switch your shield right after

[@ahmadkazan7994]

@LeCoolFace Fun fact:Developers of sonic unleashed and sonic generations led the development and artwork of the game.Mainly unleashed,the people who worked on generations were developing mario kart 8.

[@ahmadkazan7994]

@LeCoolFace Sadly not crossovers,the developers moved thier ship from sega to nintendo permenantly that's why most new sonic titles play save while nintendo is ambitious.To make matters worse,sega is still shown to be one of the best selling companies despite sonic being stuck in mediocority for long,further proving sega doesn't give sonic team any resources to work with.Which is further worse,sega America was the one to handle sonic after sega became cross platform,meaning instead of 2 branches of 1 company working on games 1/2 of a branch (only sonic team)is working on newer titles with foreign developers who have no experience.

[@ahmadkazan7994]

@LeCoolFace true,most good sonic developers moved from sega after they promised to fix sonic,leaving sega with no chance to hire fans or new people,fans made mania which was successful,then forces that had 2 people who never played sonic to make it's level design.And of course new writers that sucked the life out of the characters.Luckily the new IDW comic is actually collaborating with a fan to continue the storyline after the metal virus.

[@mitrimind1027]

I found a neat combo trick that involves freeze and electric weapons. If you hit a frozen enemy with an electric attack, it will create a shock wave as though the enemy is wet, dealing more damage and shocking other nearby enemies.

[@joshclarke1218]

AdvisorOfDark Gaming That’s because the enemy is considered “drenched”. I’m pretty sure i heard about this quite a while ago too...

[@dennisddt1146]

Thats because the game counts that as wet, since he's frozen(so he kinda is from ice then which is the solid form of water).

[@LordHogWaterer]

Also freezing and enemy and unfreezing them does lots of damage, maybe it adds onto that.

[@catalyst539]

If you want to take it further, stasis the enemy while you’re on a high point. Then go into Bullet time and shoot shock arrows. The stasis keeps the enemy from breaking out of the ice.

[@J_just_J_yes]

humble, actually informative, straight to the point, and clear voice. *rising applause*

[@Ginson17]

Great video! That bomb parry idea to get enemies off of you is a genius. I know you said that you don't want to do another video but maybe consider making another guide to stasis launching/traveling.

[@dragonace5177]

My cousin discovered Sneakstrike Chaining in the Coliseum, and it is one of the most hilarious things in this game.

[@Megazone23]

The funniest thing about the BotW were the people dogging on the combat in this game compared to past games. They made it sound like the past Zelda's had combat on par with Platinum Games. This game is a lot closer to Stylish Action games than the past games. Great video. Had no idea that this would've been a thing in this game, and I liked the combat just fine since it was a break from the Bayo and DMC games I usually play.

This really was one of the best tip/technique videos I've seen. Very good info that was accurate and not well known. You not only gave easy to understand detailed instructions on how to perform these techniques, but you also displayed the buttons on the screen to help us better understand the timing and how to properly perform these actions. Your tone was calm and not overly excited like most youtubers, which was refreshing. A+ on this video.

[@DLBBALL]

That moment when you've been playing a game for over 8 months and still finding stuff you didn't know (e.g during the Isolated Plateau, the old man is present on the very peak of Mount hylia).

[@Hackrifice]

Oh snap. This is amazing. I didn't realize that the combat was so deep in this game. Thank you for opening my eyes! I'm primarily a Souls gamer, and these techniques are super similar to those found in Dark Souls combat. Going to go watch the rest of your BOTW videos now! Thank you again!

[@LivingGuy484]

You sir... Are fantastic. Thank you for taking the time to make this, I would never have learned how to utilize these techniques otherwise and I'm super grateful

Quicksilver Crouch canceling works on parry too but maybe too dangerous for the hardware. Recently cameback to BotW cause of the online service costing a fee. I will eventually succumb to it but for now I cant really commit. haha.

Gotta work on my parry before beeing able to do parry cancels :/

[@4CentsToKimikorusName]

Lemme give you some tips : -train with weak guardians/ennemies(the one you need to parry more) -while training with the ennemy you want to parry make sure to have the Daruk sheild on in case you miss -when ennemy is starting to attack make sure you are chilled and ready at all times do not stress but don’t be too full of yourself just think you can make it but don’t forget to concentrate really well Guardian section : Guardian parrying tips : -don’t stand too close/too far from the guardian -make sure there is place to not get burned -make sure there is place to parry the laser and for the laser to come to you -if you get surrounded just escape Guardian health : Normal : 500 Full rotating+standing : 1000(i think) Walking : 1500 Drone(rotating) : 1500 Vah-rudania drones :(forgot) Training shrine guardian : 12

I love these tips, and I’ve never seen anyone talk about or use them before! It’s just a shame that in BOTW any enemy can be defeated with just flurry rushes, and that Master Mode only gives them more health, regeneration and more power, without really changing the game. I would LOVE if there was like a PVP arena or something where these tips would be really handy!

[@_da-baker_]

1:37 defensively jump canceling an attack right before you get hit has a very cool possibility. if you are still in the air as you get hit (like rin was) i'm 99% sure it's setup for an SBR (shield block reset) which gives you enough height for a TCR (thunder clap rush). this is because the blocking of the attack serves as the mark for the synthesized mark and chase to pull off a TCR. edit: when your sheild gets hit unequip then quickly re equip your sword

[@ActuallySmiley]

[@vorgjr8519]

[@tomo4977]

GreenHouseEffect you can also handicap yourself while playing too

[@IgnorancEnArrogance]

Even in master mode the difficulty curve resettles about 1/3 into the game. The trick to keep the game challenging is to not hoard every item and weapon and to not exploit cooking. They definitely should have put some small restriction on cooking because hearty foods are overpowered and they made it too easy to get the elemental gear so using elemental protection food is useless after the great plateau. Despite this, I find it fun enough just running around in the game, and in master mode, some Gold Lynels can still one shot you even with max defense.
