Tenchu Music - Battle with Onikage

[@carlosfernando9095]

it's 2023 and this track still goes hard, love it so much since 1998!

[@seyioyetade]

Which of the battle is? The stage 3 own or the stage 9 own?

[@AdiCool88]

@@seyioyetade It's Onikage's theme whenever you fight him.

[@seyioyetade]

@@AdiCool88 ok remember you will fight onikage twice? I think the first time is in stage 3 where he will run away when is blood meter is low, and then stage 9 😊 or 10 before lord mei oh

[@AdiCool88]

@@seyioyetade Haha you’re close, you fight him three times. Stage 6 when you beat Goo, you fight him for abit then he runs away when you half his lifebar, stage 9 at the top of Lord Gohda’s castle you kill him but he then disappears by a flash bang, and then stage 10 just before you reach the depths of Lord Mei-Oh’s lair.

[@seyioyetade]

@@AdiCool88 lol 😂 I miss that game so much, I actually like it more than tenchu 2 stealth assassin, even though it as better graphic than tenchu 1

[@Ravenaxis]

A game ahead and advanced of its time. No Assasins creed no Metal gear no anything, Tenchu was there before anyone with the stealth concept.

[@BAZOOKAFLOW]

Tenchu dropped in '98, and by 1998 there were already 4 Metal Gear games. I do like the Tenchu style stealth more than Metal Gear, but just giving props where it's due (❁´◡`❁)

[@ZanzibarJunker]

It's still amazing that Kane Kosugi (Onikage's motion capture) was able to do those spin kicks in the prime of his youth.

[@ZanzibarJunker]

They got ninja action movie star Sho Kosugi and his son Kane to do the mo-cap for Rikimaru and Onikage.

[@Sorain1]

That is a truly impressive feat, for both of them. These days you see a lot more hand done (if heavily computer aided of course) animation. But motion capture just brings a life and fidelity it can't match.

[@ultimatesol]

and thats why Naughty Dog games are suck in terms of life & fidelity

[@FeiTheVillain]

[@TheInfantry98]

It’s basic martial arts skills man to be honest. Except for that crazy aerial scissor kick lol

[@pengyang4007]

I remember fighting Onikage for the first time. Once the music kicked and he started blocking your sword with his shin, you knew he was out of your league.

At 1:39 the theme REALLY picks up. You expect a standard look (as most games use that) but no, it just GOES ON AND BECOMES SO MUCH MORE AMAZING WITH EVERY SECOND!

[@rydianedge]

Me: "Oh my god, after five attempts, I'll finally kill Onikage!" *Onikage drinks potion* Me: "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" Onikage is the ultimate troll.

[@michelvanderlinden8363]

Ahh, Tenchu 1... enable the custom game cheat, enable 2p, and have the second character play as Onikage. The best cheat screen of any game, ever.

[@LordSephleon]

I had an epic battle with a college friend of mine with this cheat, where I played Onikage and he was Rikimaru. We fought so much that we became near-perfectly synced, our characters ducking and hopping over each others' attacks naturally during their combos and attacks. We even ended up clashing leg and blade repeatedly. What annoyed him, though, was how good I was at using a healing potion when he tried to quickly switch to it and heal. See, the second player has an infinite supply of whatever item the first player currently has selected. The only exception is the grappling hook, which only Player One could use. Sadly, that was the last time I played that copy of the first Tenchu...

[@Jaopazo]

WHAT!?

[@jackobrien47]

@@LordSephleon Your comment is five years old and yet you have no idea how happy I am reading it. Me and my best friend used to do this as well. The 2p cheat was the catalyst for so many epic battles.
