The way he switched stances in the fight vs Shimura (his uncle) and mixing them one after the another is just pure class of mastering the games movement technique.
@Christopher Marlowe I didn't experience that. Only when I first unlocked the stance and encountered the suitable enemy for it. After that it was free reign to use whatever stance I wanted. I personally like water.
Yepp Yepp put the game on hard mode and don’t upgrade your sword and try to put yourself in the middle of a group of enemies. They attack faster when they have a big group with them but when there’s only like two or three enemies they try to be more strategic and usually only attack one at a time. But lethal makes this game to easy cause it’s supposed to be “realistic” so like I said put it on hard and do those other things and game is going to be way more funner faster and challenging.
U literally don't know how many times he played & dies to get it to where he doesn't get hit It probably takes like 15 times to get the perfect video because on Lethal this shit is hard & tricky no matter how good u are
Well most of the bosses imo in this game aren’t that hard, the only one that’s hard was that six blades guy, he kicked my ass, everyone else I either first tried, or did it in less than 5 tries
I will always admire how sucker punch added lethal and added a difficulty where you can tell the enemies are more powerful but WE are also more powerful too. They managed to add challenge and make it fair
Damn, I finished Ghost of Tsushima on Lethal. Never done no damage. Always to the point the game told me to Abandon the quest Lol. Your Parry Timing is top notch.
I played my first playthrough on mid and when i finished act 1 i went over to hard and finished the game now i've started a lethal playthrough and it feels rewarding but at the same time i'm dissapointed in myself a lot In the beginning of the game there's the quest where you have to safe the boy on a bridge from archers and i just couldn't do it. I rage quit get back tomorow,do it like first or second try. I agree tho lethal feels way more realistic,rewarding and just better.
This game taught me so much honor that whenever I go 1vs1 against a mongol boss or ronin, I change my armor to Broken Samurai armor in honor of the fallen Samurai warriors at Komodo Beach
Dude you are amazing and my inspiration on console playing, thanks to you I was able to pass Doom eternal and God of war (2018) in the hardest difficulty Thanks a lot
@@ghostwhencodghosts9114 The fight already are recycled, close to all the mongol bosses are the same SnS mongol, and the samurai/ronin are all variants of each other. The only truly unique boss is the Khan.
@@nutscratcher7973 That's true, I wonder what will they do with the next game, as long as the stealth and combat are at the same level as the first I will surely like it.
@@alexlight4178 It isn’t bad, but in terms of the setting however, Japanese would definitely fit it. Had the cutscenes and the characters in them had their lip sync with the voice line to their respectful languages. But I enjoy English’s lines too.
Bowing is usually done after the fight is won to show respect to the dead. Then SmVR bowing in the middle of the fight would mean: “Omae wa, mou Shindeiru”
For me it was Shimura on lethal. One wrong hit, and its instant death the whole fight. On top of that, Shimura can delay his hits and can read your feints so its harder to parry. Had no focus during that duel so I had to win the duel without getting hit.
Look how quickly he is changing stances one time I saw him with wind stance but he spin attacked him I saw that he changed his stance to moon very quickly
Damn this guy is bigger legend than me I did all boss fights on hard no damage but he did lethal which is way more intense and realistic but it is stupid that the bosses don’t die in one shot
Funny thing is, he had so many options. Hunting, fishing, stealing, fighting as hard as he can to take food from mongols, could have sneeked into camps with food and stole it. But nah, betray my friend thats how it is.
this game is 100/10 flawless execution upon the Japanese culture, the fighting and the music! i could write a book based in this game and how much i fall in love by it! but it would take me a life time to write this book!
Lethal mode is realistic (for the most part). One wrong move and you're dead, but if you're skilled, enemies get cut down quickly. Kinda like how these fights go in real life.
I agree I find lethal way to easy but the new lethal plus is a lot more challenging cuz the enemies take the damage from the hard difficulty but you still die from one blow.
@@MCSPARTAN501 Well realistic.. Got killed by two footkicks while I was full on health. I had to pause the game to laugh it looked so ridiculous xD (for me)
Well, I definitely fought the duels wrong, at least based on this technique. I mostly waited for the enemy to attack and then tried to read the attack to either dodge or parry to open him up for a counter. I died a lot, partly because I was apparently doing it wrong, and partly because I don't have the reflexes to react quickly enough to the red/blue glint and mostly just tried to guess, and often got the timing wrong even when I did guess correctly. Mostly it's the lack of reflexes.
I always use the parry/dodge technique too, a good thing to know is that when the enemy puts the sword back in the scabbard its because a "dodge" attack is coming, so when they put it in the scabbard you need to go for a heavy attack (triangle on ps4), works every time, and by the way you can dodge blue glint attacks too, its just more effective to parry them Useful note: the heavy attack combo from waters stance is very good to break the white line no matter who youre fighting with becahse its so quick, if your not fighting with an enemy with a sword and shield, you switch to waters stance, break white line, go back to the more effective stance aggainst your enemy. I know you wrote your comment like a yr ago but i hope i helped because i still play G.O.T. and its still amazing. Last thing: when running, you can reset your stamina when you get tired, by rolling (press circle twice on ps4). :)
After dying a 1000 deaths and also turning my controller into a frisbee on several occasions... I can finally say I'm starting to get good at these boss battles.
I just finished playing GOT for the first time and in lethal mode, and let me tell you, you should not punish yourself like this. Bast3rds can kill you with one swing, not even two. Kinda makes you do "No damage", since you are pretty dead after one normal hit.
The way he switched stances in the fight vs Shimura (his uncle) and mixing them one after the another is just pure class of mastering the games movement technique.
@Christopher Marlowe I thought that only happened when you first unlocked each stance. and then it let's you fight how you want after?
@Christopher Marlowe luckily you can turn that off in the settings
@Christopher Marlowe I didn't experience that. Only when I first unlocked the stance and encountered the suitable enemy for it. After that it was free reign to use whatever stance I wanted. I personally like water.
@@jneigh727 wait how?
And then the game's like: "no you gotta change stance for swordsman!"

Lethal mode literally just makes everyone a glass cannon.
That's... good and bad I think? It sure makes fights easier but manages to keep the sword sharp like Sucker Punch wanted it.
That’s how a sword fight is in real life though. You deal a lot of damage and take a lot.
@@S3aCa1mRa1n I feel like Sucker Punch just needs to make the enemies a little more faster and aggressive.
Yepp Yepp Yeah that’s true. Maybe in their sequel they can do better.

There needs to be a duel mode where you can play through all of them
Facts I usually die on purpose so I do the duel multiple times
I was thinking this too! Or an online duel mode where you can go head to head in rank matches, would make this game even more amazing
We need a multiplayer game where it’s literally just this 😂
We tried that already and it failed.... FOR HONOR
