Deflecting? Combat arts? Mikiris? Not while you're living under my roof, this is a thrust-only zone. In other words, can you beat Sekiro with thrust attacks 'only'?

@oatmeal5672 Год назад

Just curious, would you have allowed shadowrush for the challenge if you never use the follow up attacks?

@malek0093 Год назад

One of the hardest things about this run is probably trying to ignore your muscle memory to avoid accidentally deflecting attacks lol, especially with bosses like Genichiro.

@Kesssuli Год назад

@@IHMyself @Egon Krause Pretty sure that is not even possible with normal controller. There are programmable third party controllers but bit expensive for one challenge to move block/deflect to special button to not accidentally press.

@purplehaze2358 Год назад

Fun fact: Even though they're pretty good at stabbing, katanas were primarily designed and used for slashing. So this run is basically holding up the middle finger to its intended function for nearly every boss in the entire game.

@iusethisnameformygoogleacc1013 Год назад

They're 'pretty good at stabbing' compared to things like a kitchen knife or machete, but aren't just designed primarily for slashing but significantly compromise their utility as a stabbing weapon to be better as a slashing one. They were very good swords for their time and context, but against someone in plate armour you'd honestly be better served by a screwdriver. It's only a few steps removed from trying to block a claymore with a modern fencing rapier.

@ttchme9816 Год назад

@@iusethisnameformygoogleacc1013 what sword is good against armours? Not saying the katana is the best sword, but using armours to compare to katana is like saying that a 12gauge shotgun is shit because it can't penetrate reinforced steel. It's an unfair comparison.

@@szarekhthesilentking7043 you can half sword with a katana right? And is a half swording a longsword "good" against armour? I'd take a mace or an axe every time. Besides, almost every soldiers whether Japanese or Western fights with a spear anyway, way better against armours still.

@szarekhthesilentking7043 Год назад

@@ttchme9816 half swording with a katana isn't really a thing due to it being curved (since its point is not aligned with the handle it'll have a worse thrust in general), having a single edge also makes it worse for thrusting. Half swording is meant to be more precise and powerful thrust, but its shape makes a katana a lot more imprecise with its thrust

I wouldnt have thought that Father Owl would be possible with his Mikiri Counters. I remember my mind being blown away after my third playthrough when thrust attacked him.

@yaksher Год назад

Technically speaking, there is one combat art and one prosthetic tool that consist of a thrust attacks. And while I'm not sure about the prosthetic tool, I'm pretty sure Owl can Mikiri the combat art, making it a game-certified thrust.

@Elsuya_Milo 11 месяцев назад

That combat art is locked behind Mikiri counter tree, which, while you can technically get, would make it harder to dodge through opposing thrusts without accidently using Mikiri losing a potential Thrust or two.

@Tarmin_ Год назад

nah, the lightning isn't getting thrusted at the dragon, is a slice that hits him. It would've been possible to hit him with the sword, as his neck will get really close to the ground on certain attacks, something abused in speedruns, but it would've taken really really long to defeat it and even then not really pose too much of a challenge mechanic wise.

Having now played Sekiro since the first time I watched this I am in absolute awe of your perseverance. It's not easy to tell just how hard this is unless you have personally experienced the tedium of an actual vitality deathblow on most bosses.

@highlightermarca-texto3281 Год назад

Thrust attacks are actually extremely useful. They deal about 3 times the damage of a regular attack, and have longer range. Lots of attacks put you in a hard stagger even if you deflect correctly (indicated by sekiro being flung back and dragging his sword on the ground), but you can usually dodge through them just fine. You'll end up behind the boss and too far to land a regular attack, but have enough time to land the thrust. Obviously this is if you're playing normally and mixing deflections with dodges. And those openings are better used for combat arts that do more damage.
