Just something small I noticed that you did without realizing, to anyone watching that didn't notice, right after you beat mist noble make sure you pick up the Yashariku's that's on the ground right there! Got to the end of one of my runs and realized I didn't have enough for Isshin ... oh well, not like I was at a blistering pace or anything anyway lmao. I had to scrub back through to find out when you picked up the extra one I didn't have (it didn't take long at all for me to figure out). Not trying to be a dick or anything, still such an amazing tutorial and forgetting the explanation for one tiny thing in an entire route is more than excusable, this is just for anyone else who may need it.

Not a speedrunner, but, I really appreciate the detailed explanations for how boss fights are strategized. Specifically came to learn how top players learn the guardian ape and this was extremely helpful. Thanks!

Hey man! I just wanted to say thank you for this extensive tutorial. It helped me a lot and gave a lot of insight that is not easy to grasp just by looking at vods. In short I don't think I could have got my sub 40 run without this video. I did it today with a time of 38:56. So once again: Thanks! :)

Thank you SO much for making this Mitchriz! I've been watching the VOD on Twitch and waiting for this to be uploaded on KZread, as a new speedrunner it has been a MASSIVE help. You're a legend!

Thanks to this I manages to get 57 mins! Thank you so much! Will go for sub 50 next, I still took like 10 mins on ape.

I just started running this, so this is super timely for me 😅 It's always so awesome to see the speedrunning community being so willing to help each other out like this!

Bro your amazing. Clearest guide ever, to put so much time into an older game is so freakin commendable. thanks, will try this on the weekend.

Amazing tutorial. Really looking foward to see the more detail boss tutorials, hope you do it soon

I have yet to attempt a run, but I still watched the whole thing and enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to walk new runners through this with simple but effective instructions.

Thanks a lot for this tutoral! Is helping with things I couldnt figure out by just watching speedruns

senhor glitchless da silva, nós te amamos!!!

This is exactly what i am looking for. I love this game and i wanted to speedrun it. Most guides i found don't go into detail with certain basic techniques which makes them hard to understand fo me as a beginner. Thank you!

awesome video man im really grinding using this tutorial hopefully my first official run will be good!!!

Thanks for making this, it is amazing!

Amazing stuff, great tutorial :D

É isso Glitchless da Silva! Tô aprendendo bastante, kisses from Brazil

great tutorial!

Great timing! GG on IS no-airswim that I spotted today

hands down, best shura tutorial for beginners like me! cheers mate! also your lifesplitt vid is super. thanks for sharing knowledge! subed of course. keep up with running and content!

thanks u man, im gonna start practicing this run soon, ty!

Such an amazing tutorial, thank you so much, man! Concise yet very descriptive explanations/tips, you gave me the confidence I needed. I've broken the run into roughly halves (my brain is weird idk), I've been practicing the first half of the run for a couple days now and I'm starting to get things pretty consistently, getting to Divine Child at around 21:00 on my best runs and stopping there. Geni cheese and platforming accuracy are my main hang-ups at the moment, but I'm starting to get the Geni cheese down consistently. Now I'm gonna start making my saves for the second half and start practicing that as well. Will probably still be a little while before I can even complete a whole run (to my liking), but I'm the most excited I've been about playing a video game in a long time. Seriously, can't thank you enough for the great tutorial.

Amazing stuff, I was definitely looking for a good guide for this. After getting the console no airswim record glitchless was the next category I wanted to try

thanks for the guide big man :D

Mitchriz you are awesome I will probably wont be able to do it below 60 min, but I'm targeting less than 90 min for now. this is very helpful thank you

Thank you so much for the lessons and for helping our Lizard Gamer Calango, here in brazil we affectionately call you Glichless da Silva

A little late to share this, but might help someone: You can copy your save file and just paste it back in if you're practicing. Helps a lot with resource management like the monk fight and fights were you need certain sugars. You can also download the practice tool, but some people might not want to do that.

OH Wow finally buddy. This is it

Finally i see a good Keyboard Mouse player! Nice to meet you!

Great Tutorial Mitch. Thank you for including the strats that matter for beginners. They can worry about time save later.

nice splits

Managed to improve to 48:48 with still so many chokes and bad fights hoping youre still gping to do the undividual videos thanks mitch also no idea if this is the actual time i just use the load game to lookhow lomg it was

Super useful video Mitch, Thank you! I noticed you're going to be doing advanced tutorials as well and was wondering if you could you make a tutorial for dead angling, I can't seem to find a comprehensive explanation of it anywhere really and always see runners doing it a lot. Would appreciate this tons!

@Mitchriz

Absolutely! I'll talk about dead angling for each individual boss where it is useful. Each boss has it's own way to perform dead angling, so I'm not sure a separate tutorial for dead angling would be that useful.

Awesome tutorial! It helped a lot and I completed my first couple of runs. When you marking the advanced tutorial for Genichiro do you plan to include the 4 hit as well as the 5 hit strat? Because in my case the 4 hit strat is very consistent but I cannot get the timing down of the 5 hit strat

Glad it helped! For advanced tutorials, my plan is to include all strategies that a runner might choose to do. This will include 4 hits, 5 hits, 3 hits, and 1 hit, as well as how to back it up if it fails.

Amazing, I want to get into speedrunning soon and this was super helpful. With the time splits, do I need to learn where exactly they're supposed to be or can I just decide on my own?

@Mitchriz

Жыл бұрын

You can split wherever you like. If you go into the split settings, you can also set up automatic splits so you don't have to keep track of when to split. (ex: split automatically -> when I kill a boss -> Genichiro Ashina). In the Sekiro speedrunning Discord server, there's a list of commonly used autosplits. Just make sure you do NOT set up an automatic split for the end of the game, you have to wait until the timer stops on its own at the credits.

Started learning because of this video, and it's going great!! Quick question though, at the beginning of Ape you have 3 Yash sugar, use two, but then have 2 when you grab the 3rd at Ashina Castle for Emma/Isshin. You mentioned skipping Ape p1 sugar if we're worried about resources, so was there a cut I missed or is there another sugar to grab between Ape and Emma/Isshin? Thanks so much for this tutorial! I'm almost ready to start doing full attempts, can't wait for the advanced tutorials!

@Mitchriz

Жыл бұрын

You have 4 as you fight Ape, you can just only hold 3 at a time, the last one is in your storage. You grab 3 in the misty forest before Mist Noble, and one directly after Mist Noble. So then you use 2 on Ape and have 2 left, grab the one in Ashina castle in the water, and now you have 3 for Emma/Isshin.

Depending on which jump you're talking about, don't do it. I'm completely serious, do not do the Double Canyon jump. There's a good reason it's not in my tutorial, and never would be, it's completely not worth it at all unless you're literally going for world record, and in that case you're probably not watching this tutorial meant for beginners. Or if you're talking about a different jump, if you could describe where in the game you're talking about maybe I can help you figure it out.

Thank you so much for the Video!! I do have a question though. Why do we take the Shinobi text so late into the run? I always take it right after Gyoubu so i have mikiri for Genichiro. Is that much slower than if i were to do it later?

@Mitchriz

Жыл бұрын

It's only a little bit slower, but it is slower. It makes you do an extra warp which is maybe around 5 seconds of sitting down at the idol and menuing. The problem is Mikiri counter doesn't save 5 seconds on the Geni fight. Overall, it's only a few seconds slower so it's perfectly fine to get Mikiri counter whenever you want.

Yeah, you can't change it in the settings, unfortunately. You have to use a third-party program to change the keybinds. I recommend AutoHotkey to make a simple script that causes tab to press escape, and you can even script it to only happen when you're in sekiro.exe, so it won't affect you outside of the game. If that's too complicated for you, you can instead use a key rebinding program like reWASD.

Thank you for the amazing tutorial, it's going great for me but I have one issue I can't get my head around. For Ape phase 1, you use the yash sugar, run to him, mid air double MD, then immediately hit him 2 times before you delay the next attacks into the stagger loop. When I do that (trying to replicate exactly your inputs), he immediately falls on his back on the first hit after the mortal draw. I can't do that loop at all because of that and I don't know why. Any idea ?

NEVERMIND, found the solution. I wasn't doing anything wrong mechanically and your explanation wasn't the problem either. Turns out I was using a mod making the game run at 144 Hz. Never made a noticeable change in the game until now, I turned it off and it worked immediately. I case anyone has the same problem, this is your solution

Hi I'm doing Geni and I keep messing up when it comes to keeping him in the corner and he also deflect sometimes. What should I fix?

You need to talk to Tengu after you kill Gyoubu. It is recommended that you refuse his request, and make sure to have subtitles off so that you can immediately end the conversation after refusing. If you have subtitles on, it won't count as a completed conversation until after you go through all the dialogue.

Do you recommend playing with mouse+keyboard or controller? I'm going to start speedrunning but I have wrist problems and cant really do mouse+keyboard for long

@Mitchriz

Either one works great, and the top players are about 50/50 of controller or keyboard. I've heard that controller can be much worse on the wrist than mouse and keyboard over a long period of time, but use whatever is comfortable for you. You might also try looking into wrist guards or other solutions.

It's a skill you have to pick up. It's from the skill book you get from the sculptor, the same one that has Mikiri counter in it. You level up the skill after the Folding Screen Monkeys.
