Popular Post Ekir Posted April 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2019 Like, for real. Platinum is now uncommon and an outstanding 35% got already 10 lapislazulis, so the rarity is going to drop even more. Meanwhile, that sasuke-wannabe Genichiro kicked my ass and I can still remember his breath on my neck. Oh, the feels. 30 times I felt his thrusts. Wait a minute, this is getting weird. Is this the land of the pros where the rivers flow with milk and honey? Lords, give me your skills. I want to git guder ? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AK-1138 Posted April 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2019 It's more like it got cheesy. Which is fine. Cheesy people have a 98% bigger chance of being people you'd actually want around you than people who unironically use terms like "git gud" and use their skill at a freakin' video game to turn yet another of life's joys into a meaningless competition. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew about that software some days ago (saw a guy bragging about cheating and having the platinum) but, is that huge of an issue? I thought they werent that many.

BloodyRutz Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) What's the point in cheesing this game? The satisfying feeling comes from getting better at it. Not to mention you really need to be good at the game to beat Sword Saint Isshin Ashina. Edited April 24, 2019 by BloodyRutz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was struggling with his third and fourth phase after trying for a good 2 hrs and ended up just employing the umbrella strat which anyone can pull off.

I didn't use any prosthetics for him. I've played him for almost 5 hours until I learned how to counter him.

zeit86geist Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 started my journey the other day. beat the horse riding boss on my 2nd attempt and lady butterfly on my 1st attempt. in my opinion its all about posture and deflect. once you figure out mikiri counter and the red sign sweep attack its def become easier. i assume that a couple of ppl cheese through boss fights but hey everyone how they like...

Sofa King Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Just got to Sword Saint Isshin for the first time yesterday, so I can't say I'm a pro at this game. Just lucky enough with a dash of skill to get to this point. Honestly, there have been so many times I said " There's the wall, I can't get past this" only to get over a few tries later. I was actually really bummed after trying and failing repeatedly against Owl Father, and almost decided to move on to a new game. But again, a few more tries and an ass-ton of luck later and he was done. So don't let the walls keep you out, break 'em down! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCenaSong- Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Not surprised. FromSoft are not only usually good game which encourage people to finish them but the trophies aren't often out of the way and are rather straightforward. On top of that, seriously, they're not that hard games at all and I am always baffled this reputation has still held all this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluziion90 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I'm still dizzy from the amount of laps I ran to kill sword saint isshin. It's not only git gud, it's also lame cheese tactics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last 2 phases, I used the "run like a coward, bait him into using the leaping overhead strike, dodge, attack, run, repeat" strategy. Had to actually beat the Demon of Hatred by getting good, though; didn't find out about the suicide cheese until afterward.

(Looking forward to revenge in NG+ though) I tried that for a while but I would get hit by his lunge at times and then I went to try and learn his moveset to fight him legitimately but after 2hrs of dying, I gave up and tried the umbrella strat and beat him first try. Feel like it's the safest and easiest strat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahahah that's exactly what happened to me, i just beat Genichiro on my first try on NG+ after being stuck on him for over 10 hours on my first playthrough. I really feel like he is the boss that taught me how to play this game, probably my favourite fight in the game alongside the Owl and the final fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably the easier endgame boss in terms of cheese. Isshin in Shura might need a bit more skill and wit to kill ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try deflecting its attack from when it charges straight at you. Fills up a good bit of its posture, and you can sneak in a hit or two during that time if you've got good distance. I remember using fireworks on it which caused it to charge and hit the wall and ended up posture breaking it lol (during the last half of its 2nd life) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copanele Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I swear if this game taught me anything , it's " become the embodiment of ninja Sonic in a videogame" . Except Genichiro who is a block spamfest, every boss in the game can be solved by sprinting like Usain Bolt around the area. I don't even know if it's considered a cheese at this point Honorable mention to the ultimate boss in the game , Hirata Estate pillars, who made the running abit harder vs papa owl.

I didn't have that when I fought him so I just stood away to bait him into doing the very preditable charge attack. Parrying that makes him stop, which gives enough time to land 2 hits and retreat so that he goes into charging again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
