Sekiro - Emma & Isshin Ashina [ATTACK POWER 1/BASE VITALITY] No Damage

[@jdbly5934]

There are not many more satisfying moves in video games than pulling off a Mikiri Counter.

[@skorpioflo]

I was going to post the same. The designer of this move was at his (or her) best...

[@KATOQUEJOGA]

[@TheAskald]

the deathblows after a mikiri counter are so satisfying also.

[@afungai1649]

Even the simple act of clashing swords in a deflection is extremely satisfying to the ears.

that move basically destroying any trust attack, the posture damage it give is completely insane.

[@RatchetandSly]

That's one thing about the game that I didn't know until my second playthrough; As long as you deflect every attack, you have unlimited posture.

[@FuckYouYoutubCall911]

BorneoftheBlood wow thanks bro

[@idudahkepake]

Isn't deflecting doesn't increase the posture meter in the first place?

[@RatchetandSly]

@@idudahkepake Your posture bar fills up slower if you deflect everything, but it still fills up. However, it will never break as long as you deflect everything. However, if you deflect everything until your posture bar is full, then make one mistake with your next deflection, your posture breaks instantly.

[@ImNotCocogoat]

Dude this could of saved so many Bosses for me... I literally always ran away when my posture got high from deflection.

[@doryaman]

@@ImNotCocogoat Well, it was always a good idea. You never know when you'll parry at the wrong time which results in staggering and completely vulnerable to attacks. I've known that but nonetheless I always keep my distance to drain my posture whenever it gets nearly full.

[@666AnArkiA999]

Well here's the explanation from another dude at the cutescene after you defeat Ishin, Owl places "something" near Isshin, it was actually Genechiro head. Another factor explained this was in the beginning, Owl had only 1 sword on his back, but after Sekiro defeated Isshin, he came back with the 2nd one - which is the 2nd mortal blade owned by Genechiro (You might recognized this in other endings). => Owl went to kill Genichiro while Sekiro was fighting Emma and Isshin. :> Sorry for my bad english.

[@ThanhNguyen-eo4ux]

i live isshin.. he's like my fav npc/boss in the whole Fromsoft games. He teach you weapon art, give you the name Sekiro, even when you choose to become shura, he cant hate you, but he trying to stop you, put you to rest, he's like sekiro' mentor... Respect!

Boy, this was an absolute blast to see, I absolutely adore the Isshin fights, he’s super tough and makes your brain go 110% faster. But if you know the tells of his moves and how to counter them, you feel like two gods locked in combat, and it is epic. I had to say though that I didn’t really like playing against Isshin Ashina’s second phase. It was aesthetically amazing, with Isshin wielding a mighty blaze, but the attacks were hard to dodge and if you get hit with any of his fire attacks you will start burning no matter what, and I played him in NG+3 so he was hitting like a truck and your posture means everything, so burning was never ideal. However if I knew about this Sakuza strat, my life would have been made a LOT easier

[@mainstream6326]

Ikr Now I'm wondering why didn't I think of the sakuza umbrella. Fire isshin in NG+4 with kuros charm and sinister burden is easily the hardest boss I've fought so far. Instead of avoiding his fire attacks I just focused on stopping them. Firecracker on reaction when he starts up his BS.

[@warnerbayles7712]

[@AxisChurchDevotee]

It's a shame it's impossible to fully deflect One Mind. You can get 3/4 of the fast ones. By the way, you can be more aggressive on Isshin in general, attacking after either of his two basic moves works. Regardless, job well done, and I'm a fan of the umbrella strats ^^

[@gabrieldoyen692]

I feel like umbrellas are the most underappreciated proshtetics of the game. They completely nullify some of the most annoying attacks in the game with ease and their counter-attacks are devastating. Isshin's One Mind and Fire attacks ? No problem as demonstrated above. Owl Father firecracker+slash combo ? Both nullified at once. The Headless Ape's scream ? A joke. The Headless and Shishimen ? Cakewalks.

[@BigDBrian]

[@solairesolalalalalemon1198]

I know I have to do this to achieve One Mind...but it just hurts so much man. After giving a certain sake she reveals how she has always cared for the wolf even during his youth. Ashina has been in war with the other clans the most. Masamune Date was the ultimatum due to the betrayal of one of Ashina’s top general. Isshin explains why the people of Ashina didn’t want to unite under Oga, Hideyoshi, and the final straw was Iyeasu and Masamune onslaught towards Ashina that led to what seemed like an inevitable slaughter. Before Japan was unified each clan had its own identity. Unfortunately shura ending is what seems to be the most realistic outcome of a man pushed to the edge of sanity. Sekiro is a tragic hero of the tragic era and unfortunately Emma was the first to taste the anger of a justified shura. Shura in a sense has achieved one mind. The one minded goal to end all life.

[@littlemoth4956]

I’ve never seen someone analyze Shura like this, it’s really interesting. It’s said an incarnation of Shura kills for entertainment, but I think that is only half true. Perhaps it is just folklore spread by those too caught up in patriotic violence and political intrigue to see the bigger picture.

[@solairesolalalalalemon1198]

@@t0q14s9 shura was basically an explanation for anyone that went “blade mad” after too much ptsd. For example soldiers of the west will throw themselves on the floor and crawl to their guns if they hear fire works during Fourth of July. It’s a shell shock. Except historically during the sengoku era many young children and teen (remember Sekiro is very young and by the time he meets Isshin he is in his mid 20s) will randomly, like a sleeper cell, take their katanas and go on a rampage. That’s becoming possessed by shura is their version of shell shock. This type of symptom was actually portrayed well in the anime Rurouni Kenshin when kenshin meets shishio. Shishio is a by product of a person who went too deep. It’s like a sleeper cell, anything can trigger them. They can be at a ramen stall and a random samurai of a noble family will start talking about something that will trigger the afflicted person and the person will not only kill the officers but also innocent bystanders because they still value their own life so no witnesses.
