I recommend you to do a no uprages run. This will make you better at the bosses because it will take longer to kill them and if you focus on leveling vitality you wont die as easily and will be able to learn the bosses movesets more easily. Also doing a run like this will give you a better understanding of what weapons are good against wich bosses, like some bosses with large health pools being easy targets for bleed and frost damage because it is dealt as a percentage damage instead of flat damage. Also you wont have to look for upgrade materials all the time and you can just swap between your weapons without worrying if they are upgraded. If you are struggling with late games bosses you can always get the bell bearings and just buy a couple of upgrade materials to even the playing field.

I think the thing that allows players to be the aggressors in Sekiro it the ability to cancel startup into a block and low endlag in general. In a souls game, attacking first is just asking to trade hits, but Sekiro allows you to play aggressive and then defend whenever you need to. I grantee modding the Sekiro sword into elden ring would make it play like you describe, boss design isn't the main factor here.

That is a huge thing I don't see mentioned often. A similar system is in God of War where you can pretty much go from any attack, except runic attacks, and just start dodging, blocking, or parrying any attack. I understand that Elden Ring kind of needs a way to punish you for doing an attack at a dumb time, but Sekiro really lets you react to moves instead of just punishing you for getting action read and blasted by a 5 minute combo

I remember watching you grind out No Damage way back when Sekiro first came out, can’t believe it’s been so long. God Run 3, here we come.

On the discussion of bosses people like: I think it's a case of understanding bosses. The Erdtree Avatars are very easy to understand, they have a limited movepool with very clear and defined reaction to each move. If golden slam, dodge into. If rot slam, dodge behind. If Golden Land, run away and strafe, then re-engage. The boss becomes a test of your mechanics because you understand how they work as an entity A boss I love and go out of my way to fight, but I've heard others dislike, is Elemer of the Briar/ Bell Bearing Hunters. My first playthrough I bashed my head against that boss, underleveled and underprepared, for hours. Until I finally understood exactly how he works. How he determines his attacks, how I need to react to every attack, his parry windows, his shield slam and it's explosion varient, everything. Meanwhile a boss I hate but have heard others love is Radahn. To me, he's a giant mess of effects that don't have hitboxes, attacks that I think should hit me but are actually fine, and a schizophrenic AI that just does random stuff. I don't understand him and every fight with him for me devolves into a fuster cluck, but that's entirely my own fault because I don't understand how he works TL;DR the easier a boss is to "figure out" the more likely people will enjoy it, because people tend to dislike the fights they don't understand. Eventually they learn the fight though, and either stop disliking it or come to like it.

I feel like the boss you're talking about with the changed up combos and attack speed exists: the Bell Bearing Hunters. They can change their combos mid-sequence, they have insane range and almost no margin for error. And to me, they encroach on the level of bullshit difficulty, especially the one in Dragonbarrow; either you fight him perfectly or you die.

@SaHaRaSquad

11 ай бұрын

Their combos are still always the same. There's one or two minor variations depending on your distance to them but once you know those differences you can still 100% predict everything they'll do from the first attack windup. You can even predict whether they'll do that red explosion after the shield bash. That said I agree that they're a bit too punishing. I find the Bell Bearing Hunters really fun to fight but there is almost no margin for error and trying to heal is basically a death sentence unless you are very familiar with all the attack patterns. If a boss does actual mixing of combos that would require much slower combat, more like DS1/2 than Elden Ring in terms of tempo. I think FromSoft pushed it to the limit with Malenia who can seamlessly chain 5+ attacks with no time to heal, I have the impression she's coded to do that aggressive chaining if the player has low health but I might be wrong.

Also bosses like that could have 5-10 different moves which they chain randomly. Some people would love that. I would certainly hate fighting late game bosses like that. I think bosses are already hard enough with delayed attacks and mild changes in their combos. Though maybe that'd be something rewarding for NG+ runs, but i can't imagine the coding nightmare for such a boss fight.

"Don't forget, Sekiro. Hesitate, and you lose......that is the way of war."

The second genichiro fight was simply genius

Replaying Elden ring is basically looking up a checklist of which caves to beeline to, to get items for the build you want to try. I played it through once, trying to do everything I could and I could not stomach starting another character straight away. Granted trying to fully clear each area before moving on definitely reveals the repetitive nature of caves and tombs level design and the seemingly endless repeat bosses. I rolled my eyes after the 8th dragon, 5th death bird and 3rd star beast…. And as a PvP player ER just felt extremely disappointing, we talk about all these options and build variety but any invader will tell you they see the same 5-6 builds or weapons over and over. So I mean what is the point of variety if 90% of the community will gravitate to a few styles or weapons? I know it isn’t everyone but man it’s uninspiring. I personally think bloodbourne and sekiro are the most engaging from games from a single player perspective. But for PvP I genuinely think ER is overrated and I personally had more fun in DS3 PvP. I really appreciate having to die over and over to a boss to learn their move sets and how to effectively counter and punish. The more linear games forced this learning process (unless your that guy that overlevels) and in turn brought a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when you did finally beat the boss. This doesn’t really seem to exist in ER as most players will simply leave the area if a boss is seemingly too difficult and come back when they are way stronger, therefore rinsing the boss and not really feeling anything other than “did I just cuck myself out of a potentially great boss fight?”. I digress the open world I feel is a gimmick that wore off fairly quick for me…I mean realistically how many times you beat a cave boss, see the reward and think…”man that was pointless”?

Love your content dude

Man hearing you talk about “a fighting game, but like against bosses and PvE” in a Souls context makes me think of Sloclap’s games, Absolver and Sifu They’re kinda like Souls-inspired fighting games. I haven’t seen much of your content, so I don’t know if you’ve played them or not, but if you haven’t I’d highly recommend them. They could probably even be great ones to no-hit, as they *do* have strings of attacks they can chain together randomly, in reaction to your inputs, and an in-built feint system that means at times they can cancel out of their attack and immediately start a new one First thing I thought of when hearing that discussion in the vid, I think they fit your criteria perfectly

14:41 i think being reaction based would make sekiro way too hard, like this can be seen in inner ishin’s first phase, if you deflect once and attack he can stop blocking and punch you getting into his punch and sweep attack combo, it’s unpredictable and can be pretty frustrating if you’re trying to no hit him, if the game was a bit slower like other souls games Ig that might work

I definitely see your point about replayability. For me I like to do all the content whenever I play a game, whether first time or tenth time, and in a game like Dark Souls 3 I can do that while using a different build each time I do all the content while also not having to sink a ton of time in to do it. With Elden Ring the investment to do a run where I do all the content is much higher, and I just feel weird skipping past content so i feel compelled to do everything, and the result is I tend to fall off pretty quickly into replaying it. It's entirely just a preference thing though.

I can agree though that some bosses and certain aspects of the gameplay can and probably will be implemented and improved in future souls games.

Finally some content about the best "souls" game

i really wish they applied the boss memories to elden ring as well. i think it would be fun to simulate the boss fights again for all souls games

I feel like replayability depends on how much content there is, it's variety, if is required, and the quality of the content. With Elden ring what lowers it's replayability isn't that there is too much content, it's just the content that's required isn't especially fun. Getting all of the seeds, tears, and smithing stone bell bearings needed to complete a run surely is a lot of content, but it's more or less just a time dump. A lot of content is good if that content has a lot of variety and is of high quality, even if it is required content if it's good it's good, but if it's bad then it's just a slog getting in the way of the next new playthrough.

I can't imagine the intensity of fighting ss isshin at the very end of a no hit run.

For me personally the best bosses are the ones with unique mechanics; what I mean by that is fights like Deacons of the Deep, Yhorm, the Giant, Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy, Curse-Rotten Greatwood, Crystal Sage, High Lord Wolnir, Mimic Tear (if it wasn’t so easy to cheese) and of course Rennala, though her fight is pretty much Deacons of the Deep with an extra phase. I forget the name but DS3 even had a dragon boss where you could 1 shot him but in order to do so you had to run past a bunch of enemies and up a ladder to jump onto his head lol. Been a long time since I played the old Souls games and I only finished Sekiro once so I’ve no doubt missed a bunch off the list, but those for me are the ones that stand out the most and feel more rewarding than the other boss fights purely down to the fact that you have to think outside of the standard offence/defence play style!

The thing you are describing the whole stream is exactly what you are playing right now. The developers also thought that they could change up the combat of the souls games, and then they developed sekiro. The reason they didn't only change the combat and left everything else as it is, is because that wouldn't work. People have certain expectation on souls games and you can't just completely throw over the combat. If you are changing a key mechanic of the game you have to adapt all the other aspects of the game as well. And that's how it became sekiro at the end instead of another souls game. We don't know if the birth of sekiro was really only because of the combat or because they wanted to do something new or something else but the end results are the same.

I didn't feel like I had enough time to really breathe in that game, everything was so obnoxious and over tuned, and I especially didn't like the "rhythm" paced combat. Once the idea that you're really just mashing 1 button to a specific timing creeped into my mind, the novelty faded pretty quickly. I don't think it's a bad game at all. I could absolutely see why people like it as much as they do. I just think it's exceptionally overrated and I enjoyed Bloodborne's approach to fast combat far more. On a more shallow note, I hate being pigeon holed into a specific role in most RPGs. Unless they're done pretty well (For example, Booker from Bioshock or John Marston from Red Dead) I'm not going to feel very invested in what I'm doing. I did not care about Wolf at all. I didn't care about Kuro at all. The game wasn't written in a way that was compelling to me. I also especially didn't like how I didn't feel like my character was my own in the RPG I was playing. I was just "Wolf". I could add a combat art here or there but it was never me, it was always Wolf. Again, there are ways to do good "light" RPG elements. I just didn't think Sekiro did them all that well. World is gorgeous. Music is incredible. Sound design is great. Again, the game is not bad. I just didn't care for it.

​@@YangBalanceYinthat's interesting, because I really didn't jive with booker from bioshock for almost the same reason that you didn't jive with wolf. Timing based combat isn't for everyone, true. But it's definitely more than just one button in Sekiro.

@@YangBalanceYin I understand everything you’ve said, and it’s unfortunate. Hopefully, in the future, you can give it another shot and actually enjoy it. Apparently that happens often to people with these games.

20:49 I had that problem when I first tried the game. I was just waiting for them to attack me and was getting nowhere. It ended up making my stop playing for a few months

When I search up "no hit run" ginomachino pops up

Fake run he hit you, and cut off your arm

I think that no hit runs for sekiro should have the charm modded in to confirm the run because it causes you to suffer chip damage if you dont deflect, idk if its a good idea or not

No Kuro's Charm is what does that. Demon Bell just adds HP to bosses and makes them hit Harder.

when sekiro first came out no hit runners did runs without kuros charm but stopped doing it because it changes the amount of damage bosses take making it harder than the base game. Also you dont need the chip damage to know if it was a perfec parry or not

@@Whyisthisathing825 you actually hear it from the sound. Any no hit runner can tell if you fucked it up.

On the discussion regarding attacks and more attacks/mixups/attackspeeds I think Monsterhunter (I like World/Iceborn alot) does this type of stuff. Shure it is no soulslike or soulsborne but I felt like it had its similarities. Basically every Monster has like... alot of moves and depending on if its enraged or hurt and the moves can be slower/ easier to read if its like almost dead. And if you break certain parts of theyr body the can sometimes even hurt themselves with some of the attacks they do. It feels relly nice to cut of the tail of for example Tobikadachi and seeing it desperatley trying to hit you. AAANYWAYS Im honestly not even shure if its what your even looking for but i immediatley had to think abt that game you probably wont even read this or play mhw but i wish you a good day anyway bye ^^

I think the stuff he’s looking isn’t going to show up in a souls like considering I feel like most of the stuff he’s looking for is actually completely against what made souls likes popular in the first place. When people say hard but fair they actually mean is enemies that will kill you if you don’t remain patient and follow their patterns and pace without being too overwhelmingly difficult otherwise. It isn’t like the games he’s looking for don’t exist like in MHW. Funnily enough the old monster hunter games are similarly if not more pattern based than souls. Another example I can think of is the ninja gaiden 2004. Now they do definitely have their pattern oriented difficulty but with the multi enemy fights the game can give you some very difficult to dodge patterns but if you record it and look back, due to the amount of options you have there was almost always a way to avoid damage. As well some of the bosses/enemies can be seriously unpredictable because of the games weird enemy dodge/block mechanics and some of the dodge cancelling and various insane sh*t the ai is capable of. Still almost always dogeable but you have to be reacting incredibly well. The funny thing is I think he would end up hating this type of stuff he says he wants considering he has said before he likes things to be consistent. Would like to see what he would think about either game tbh but we probably won’t see that. I think he would especially hate ninja gaiden 2004.

@@porkwhisperer3050 thats very intresting honestly. I prob wont look too deep into it but will def check 2004 and the old old mh out some time. And yes, eventho chances are slim.. like very slim.. I WOULD BE SOOO EXCITED SEEING HIM PLAY ICEBORNE

15:00 I also want this. I know exaxtly what you're talking about and I feel like there is a way to achieve it. It's going to take some serious machine learning/ AI work. Especially on the balancing side of things. We would need a way to also give the player a lot more freedom. I do have some ideas.

I think combat based guard counters and trades could play a very key role in making your idea work. There are lots of ways that it can be made to work.

THE ELDEN GOAT HAS UPLOADED!!!

The next step of combat I believe will be underwater just like in sekiro. The jump mechanic was great in both ER and sekiro. Other than underwater combat, I don’t think the counter system should be added to any future titles. Let it be unique and maybe allow let that siphon effect from bloodborn to come back too. Other than that I really don’t see anything else

I can’t even stop from getting hit on the character customization screen, let alone 7 games.

There is a mod that does what are talking about in the video, it’s called sake of Ashina, I promise you, it’s exactly what you are looking for.

i will be waiting for the 10h video god run

After you finish the god run, what can possibly top that ? Also doing it with +0 and sl1 ?

I admire your skill

This is the most intense shit ever

what are the black squares occasionally blocking the top right?

Gino was running a burn in image ad occasionally on his twitch stream. I'm assuming he blacked it out for the youtube edit incase it was against Terms of Service here

bro 3mins in and I'm like "I get f*cking annoyed if a fart breaks my concentration on a fight" this dudes reading chat, giving out strats and picking his nose (ok I added that last part). Some people are a different breed.

I’m so used to watching elden ring, that k was confused why didn’t get a bleed proc on the chained ogre 💀

I feel like a cool game to play would be every new game plus scenario the bosses move sets change

god gamer strikes again

I never knew that u could get ginichiro into a loop of doing the same attack that u mikiri counter every time

you drink any pots on genichiro is that a must before mikir counter?

Someone in chat said that they want another game with a similar posture system I hope you’ve heard of the Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor games, they are a bit easier, but imo they scratch the same itch that Sekiro scratches. For me, I actually played Sekiro back when it came out but I just gave up on Genichiro, I simply couldn’t do it, but between that and my second attempt now, I’ve played DS3, Elden Ring, Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor, and when I came back, after applying everything I learned with especially the Jedi games, the combat just CLICKED. It clicked in a way I’ve never felt it click before. Granted, I’m still stuck on Genichiro (I am not that great on these kinds of games), but I have zero intention on giving up this time. I’m so fucking close, I just keep choking on the last phase.

sekiro : shadow never getting hit

I'm almost there. As soon as I stop dying in the Folded Screen Monkeys fight. And all the others.

Cmon man how do u die to the folding screen monkeys, just pop a Gachiin sugar and sneak up behind them. Honestly one of the easiest main bosses that fromsoft has put out

Always nice to see Sekiro getting some love. Honestly Sekiro speedruns are a lot more fun to watch than Elden Ring imo.
