When I finally realized what was happening... my jaw dropped. If you deflect the thrust in Phase 1 and Phase 2... HER COMBO JUST KEEPS GOING, IT NEVER STOPS. THAT'S INSANE. You teach me new things about Sekiro every time you post a video. I love when you deflect thrust attacks against bosses because then we get to see stuff like this.

I love how people say “this game is to hard” but it is really just a rhythm game when you think about it.

[@Kirisapostle12]

Every game is just a rhythm game... Its the intensity and unpredictability of the rhythm that make a game hard... In a game like say hollow knight... If a boss is giving you a .5 second window and the same boss giving you a .2 second window automatically makes the second one more "difficult" even tho they are the same boss... Every game is hard depending of the reaction time of the player when a game surpasses that avrage reaction time then it is labelled "hard"...

[@mazokuwolf1279]

Mei Mesaki I definitely agree, but in most games you have to perfect multiple unique and different mechanics to beat a boss. This game is about testing your mastery to hit your R1 button at the same moment the boss attacks you. I would say literally ANY fromsoftware game is harder than Sekiro. Because sure you can dodge and block but usually it is not enough. In this game, ONE mechanic will carry you throughout out the whole game.

[@bizmonkey007]

MazokuWolf Yes, Sekiro is really just about pressing R1 at the right time. That sounds easy, but in practice it’s much more complicated. Each major boss has its own moveset and timing that takes repeated attempts to grasp. That, combined with the high damage of most bosses can lead to frustration and many failed attempts. When you really look at it, there’s a demand for perfection in Sekiro that isn’t present in Souls or Bloodborne. You can scrape by Midir by only mastering 70-80% of his attacks, but you can’t beat Owl Father unless you know his attacks like the back of your hand.

[@DiegoTube85]
