STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor - Dagan Gera Boss Fight (No Damage / Jedi Grand Master Difficulty)

[@Saberrex1]

I find it interesting that Dagan Gera wanted to create an army of Force-Sensitives and raiders to challenge the Empire. However, I think if he had raised his army, he would have ultimately failed; Vader himself would likely have killed Gera one on one, or convinced him to join the Inquisitorius after he and the Emperor had their fill of torturing him. They also would likely have gotten Tanalorr's location out of him, and found a way through to the planet. As such, it's good that Cal Kestis managed to stop him before he could go through with his plans.

You’re the first person I’ve seen that switched stances mid-combo. I never even thought to do that, I assumed that the swap time wasn’t worth it. Now though, I’m gonna try and find all the combos I can!

[@caseyavila8779]

Yea single into blaster stance is really good. Although I’m not good enough to remember to switch stances during fights lol.

[@nicholasfpayne]

Stance switching is pretty broken tbh. There’s no swap time at all, you can be in the combo for one stance one frame and another the next. One I’ve enjoyed is whaling on them with dual stance then as they’re getting low swap to cross-guard to uppercut them into oblivion.

[@SpaghettiTop]

I love using the blaster stance as my entry into a nice single blade combo. The blaster stance is like count douku and its just too smooth of a transition between the two stances

[@КонстантинПаршуков-о6б]

[@hellothere639]

He feels anime

[@ketsuekikumori9145]

I've been playing through Sekiro with the Resurrection mod and comparing the animations to this game. Something about Sekiro's animation feels so smooth, but this game feels rough. I'm not talking about performance issues or anything like that. But things like parrying or dodging leaves something to be desired for good feedback. At the start of the fight at 1:55, the parry doesn't look like it connected and the dodge afterwards has clipping that doesn't look like like you dodged it at all. In fact, for me, it looked like you somehow ignored that attack til I rewatched it and than realized it was meant be a leaning back animation.

[@InsomniacShrub]

One of my biggest issues with this game is the animations. Everything feels so unnatural. If we can make Kratos or Spiderman's or Sekiro movement feel fluid and smooth, why not Cal with a lightsaber 😢

[@knell18897]

It's the same thing with sekiro, bosses or sekiro will play the generic block/parry animation when an attack is blocked. You just didn't notice it because there is a massive sword spark cover it.

[@gnuhgnauqneyugn]

@@knell18897 Well yeah, that's exactly why it feels good in Sekiro. The sound and visual effects compensate for any technical limitation the parry may have. That's what the op meant by "good feedback".

[@ketsuekikumori9145]

@@knell18897 I wasn't saying it wasn't there in Sekiro. Just doing things that help hide or blend it, so as to not make it stand out. No animation is going to look smooth unless it's highly controlled like in a cutscene or movie. Plenty of games have animation jank depending on how it's rigged. Let's say you snap someone's neck. If it's in third person, than it can go 1 of 3 ways. First is that the PC does a neck snapping motion, while the NPC has their neck snapped, BUT the characters far enough apart that it's very obvious they aren't touching. The second way is forcing the characters into position, in which case, it'll either teleport or scoot the NPC into the PC's loving embrace. Third is some way of hiding the jank to make it SEEM natural. If the animation is in first person, you can hide A LOT. Being first person with a hand-to-hand animation means you don't have to worry about characters being horribly out of position (still a possibility, just not as extreme).

[@shreywayy]

the sound is a big part i think, a lot more realistic to play a game with swords and good sound design

[@MrJoker190]

I'm still shocked Dagan can create a Force arm to compensate his missing arm. And that's insane because nobody in the Jedi history could do that !

[@jasonswaglord1498]

Well Dagan is strong. Even by High Republic Standards he was reknown as a powerhouse. He clearly beaten Cal here but he hesitated during the final blow. If he'd get matched against Vader i would say it would be a fair fight and pretty sure would give Vader a run for his money.

[@megamanbrandon]

it's videogame logic in play, you have to land hits or it feels like you just aren't doing anything even though, in-canon, 90% of those hits would end the fight right there. Of course, there is a way to make a game where you avoid this problem, but this isn't that game and neither is most games, so you suspend your disbelief for the game and then they do it canon-accurate in cutscenes

Ongbal, I gotta ask, since people say this and the previous game has Sekiro like combat, what’s your opinion on that? While I think Sekiro’s combat is much better and more concise since he only uses one main fighting style, this game does look pretty fun.

[@_ONGBAL]

The game has similar mechanics to Sekiro partially, but in a much more casual way. And obviously it's far less sophisticated and less thrilling than Sekiro's combat. But that doesn't mean the game is bad, and I actually think it's a pretty decent game as the action-adventure.

Like all the developers had to do was move the model (or his arm!) down/up a few more inches and then he'd actually be gripping the GRIP, instead of the pommel! Bode does this as well when he's in reverse grip, but not as badly as Dagan does here.

My biggest issue with Jedi Survivor and Fallen Order alike is that they try to implement Sekiro-Like deflects and combat but without what makes it work. That being the flow of combat allowing everything to flow into every thing you do, they forgot about introducing the rythm part instead they went for an amalgama between Sekiro and Souls and it doesn't work, you just stand there waiting for the move to attack instead of going yourself to engage.
