Just holding the block button down will charge up and break your poise when you get hit. If you deflect perfectly, your poise will never be broken no matter what, you just have to time it right.
Perfect is a pretty subjective word. It was a peaceful and collected way of beating Ishin, clean deflects 9 out of 10 times, only one attack after each counter. It reminds me of Obi-Wan form style Soresu which focuses mainly on defence, maintaining a methodic and calculated mind, which in fact does pay off because I noticed that enemies get more furious the more aggressive you are (i'm sure the cause of many deaths we went through was impatience). Yesterday I beat Ishin and it was slightly more chaotic and unpredictable because i would try to take advantage of any opening while here it seemed more ... polite XD. Congrats to you, Brandon! Your play imboded a way of perfection!
Nice! Would love to see you try it using demon bell or charmless (or both if you're up for it, especially charmless that forces you to perfect deflect each time).
I’ll have to look those up. I just beat the game and I feel like there’s more I need to look up and still a few things that I missed. Apparently people do this blindfolded too lol I’m not a hardcore master at the game, I just play for fun and happened to get lucky on this one :)
@@BrandonHatcher Just to ease your search, they're both ways you can increase the difficulty of a run. Charmless refers to kuro's charm and is only available on your second playthrough onwards, and demon bell is found in senpou temple, there's a path before you fight armored warrior that leads to it.
Just noticed this video is getting a few views - thanks!!! I just beat the game a few days ago, and today I beat Isshin while taking NO DAMAGE! Video just finished uploading: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LQZ3t4KIvWY.html
For future reference: at 2:38 you jumped over his attack. Not sure if you figured this out yet, but if you press the jump button again while in the air, you can jump on the enemies head, dealing a lot of posture damage. Definitely something to keep in mind. Anyhow, GG, very tough boss on the first playthrough.
for sure!! took me a while to get that down consistently. I just uploaded a video of me beating isshin while taking no damage! feels like I've come a long way. love this game.
Genichiro really teaches you the combat of the game. I found him to be the real tutorial boss of the game. Make sure you are constantly parrying his attacks, don’t play it like a dark souls game like many try to do.
What an absolutely beautiful John Mayer concert you have recorded here. A real gem. A bit of irony, he's playing in Charlotte tonight, 10/23/2023, as I watch this video. I agree with everything you said about him and his show. He is a brilliant musical artist of a man. More extraordinary live over studio recordings, which are still great. However, LIVE is the way to go with John Mayer. I love it. Love him
Cancelled my order. They claim they let you pay monthly but don’t tell you that if you don’t pay it off within the period of the “lease” (because you don’t own the pc outright) then you will be put automatically on a 18 month payment plan where you have to pay off the full price of the pc. I’d rather just spend the 1,500 outright…
One thing I will add for you guys buying is they will make you pay for shipping cost if anything goes wrong.. And customer service takes days to respond..
