And fireworks.

I don’t ever really use fireworks. Feels like it fucks me up trying to fit it in a fight more than just dodging and parrying. Too slow for me

Don’t forget to git gud as well. I’ve been told that helps

thanks for the snake eyes tips guys, she'll die tonight
Forgot to mention that i also killed Butterfly last night as well, that was satifying, was much easier this time around... guess it's just game play experince now. What really helped for her was someone here posted or i read that her illusions will disapear on their own over time, so whenever they were up, i literally just ran around the areana till they were gone. easy peasy

Or just use a snap pea.

It's been kind of interesting to see this unfold. The biggest one, and the area I love Myazaki the most for, is their trolling abilities. We have been trained to approach these games in very specific ways. It's like Fedor screaming from the rooftops to read the literal strategy to fight a boss is on the loading screen. From has NEVER done that, they drop you to the wolves with little more than a fuck you, and make you figure it out. Yet, I'm sure they knew they could do that and no one would see it. From what I can tell, EVERYTHING is almost the direct opposite of what they established over the last 4 (5? Not sure where Demon Souls lies in all of this) games, and I get the feeling they are giggling uncontrollably watching everyone melt down from it. This is why I cringe when people say "I can see Souls DNA all over it." Uh no, this is its own thing entirely.

Well yes. But I mean when I get home from work I spend time with my kids until they go to bed, then spend some time with the wife. If I'm lucky she'll go to bed a little earlier than me and I'll hop on, but usually I'm just too tired to do anything.

Plus we be fuckin a lot...

It's not even a loading screen, it's a tooltip that actually pauses your game right before the fight starts. I also keep reading that people are "accidentally skipping" it even though the button that closes tooltips is the menu button and not any of the regular combat buttons so you have to make a conscious decision to close it.



Holding block in a souls game: your stamina doesn't regenerate at all.

Holding block in sekiro: your posture regenerates really quickly.

edit: one useful loading screen tip is that enemies that crawl close to the ground are vulnerable to jump attacks.

I think the actual tip mentioned geckos but you can do an instant jumping death blow on any of the small centipede enemies regardless of their posture.

To the first: I think that's Myazaki saying fuck you to everyone who don't read the descriptions
To the second: yep another example of why I truly believe they did this as a way to "get" players. I say troll with tongue in cheek, but really I think they wanted to try something else out that wasn't the souls formula and it ended up appearing to be this giant social experiment and I can't help but wonder if they aren't quietly sitting in their offices and watching all the reactions to the game.

it doesn’t feel like a souls game at all to me. More like a different company made a game with inspiration from souls instead. I mean there are certain visual things that are direct from souls like menus and the opening title screen thing, but gameplay wise they aren’t even close

spoilerino if anyone cares
