I like your style of fighting because it's not over breaking game mechanics. It's still all in game moves, just beautiful combos and incredible timing.
It does look like he is using a lot of glitchy animation cancels though. I don't think the developers intended for these. For example the agile punch animation cancel that lets you essentially move at 200% speed indefinitely. Also it looks like he recalls his axe during agile punches somehow so that he doesn't have to pay the time penalty of your character standing there with his hand out. I kind of wish this kind of stuff was just in the game naturally so I don't have to learn to glitch animations to chain some of these combos together. It definitely looks cool though.
What the hell are you talking about? Those moves are IN THE GAME and part of the gameplay mechanics system... the problem is practicing doing them... Do you notice how he avoids getting hit?... a game with skills based gameplay mechanics system means that if you can master the move set (which under skills where it tells you how to execute them is very extensive... instead of button mashing which is what the average gawker and FEARFUL gamer sees...) Instead of actually learning... kinda like learning Virtua Fighter and then playing the hardest A.I. eventually you can see certain attacks... and know how to prevent their attacks from hitting you by being cool... Obviously when he first played this game much like how the Game Breaker also shows in his channel, they both died a lot... however you hardly see those unless they're live streaming because even if it seems like they are exploiting something... they can still mess up, get hit and in certain cases like wearing the basic armor set... one touch dead... If you tried it you might throw your gamepad in rage... the point is looking at the kills menu... practice, etc which is what they did... Button mashing and thinking you're a bad ass while in NORMAL mode isn't going to get you anywhere... you might as well play on Give Me Story... And note this is true only in tightly coded skills based games... 2018 GoW isn't perfect by any means but SMS did definitely polish and they did INTEND for advanced players to use the move sets in combination with the Realm Shift IF YOU CHOOSE TO... You can also opt to play without using Realm shift..Shift... but holy hell "Give Me a Challenge" and "Give Me God of War" difficulty modes are not just about enemies having higher hit points but they pulling advanced A.I. stuff only possible in pure single player games where skilled devs can make you fear the A.I. especially if you refuse to change your tactics... Also note I can say this... my gripe with the game is that in the harder difficulty modes it would have been awesome for MORE enemies to show up... including Wolvers, and Trolls and Ogres...... and Dark Elves Captains or King types... hell even a Valkyrie gauntlet would have been amazing... but the devs probably didn't believe the average player would like that... given how traitorous the professional gamer journalists are at whining about game difficulty... Not sure if you were ever aware but the original PS3 Demon's Souls was basically covertly labeled "hard" and "difficult" from a hardcore gamer they might have misread that whining as some flawed game... but later word of mouth happened... same deal with 2018 Gow... first it was detractors whining that the gameplay and combat was changed... Problem is there's six similar GoW games..., Heavenly Sword, Dantes Inferno, Castlevania and other copied GoW gameplay so too many games and alternatives existed and the cookie cutter needed to be broken... Imagine if later SMS made a full remake of the first four GoW games using the 2018 system but on PS5 hardware... too much indeed.

@@Mikey-uj3dc It means exactly what I said. I'm not trying to throw shade at anyone. What GBG does is ultra high-skilled and is absolutely extraordinary with how he's able to, like his name implies, break the game. However, when trying to find the highest level gameplay of this game on TH-cam, that style has become all there is. And it's nice to see elite God of War skills that remain within the confines of developer intention. Trying to take it in that direction was all you. Subtlety throwing shade at someone without calling them out directly is weak and if I were, it'd be obvious and you wouldn't have to question it.
@@SmvR holy shit, God of War 4 has the most in-depth combat system I have ever seen... can't wait for what mechanics Ragnarok will soon offer I guess I'm gonna try the game being quite underleveled
I think this is what it’s all about, posting high level skills with beautiful moves during fights. This could be the only content you post and we would tune in every single time
Amazing content as always man, your gameplay and style never ceases to amaze me! Keep up what your doing man, I can’t wait to see you style on Thor and freya 😂🔥🔥🔥
Can only imagine the time & effort you have put to master this game,I'll b damned if I play even half the speed like you. It keeps getting better and better everytime I watch you play it.
You know I have to paused the video every second just to appreciate every move set and combos you do! Everything happens to fast yet perfectly timing! This is so good at the same time it’s so hard to digest all your combinations. Just watching you play I feel overwhelm for the enemies. Your skills is absolutely vicious!
You are my motivation my friend, i just beated Sigrun on GGOW+ too, the top hardest difficulty, doing my best personal record at 6:25 and with all the knowledge you gave us to all GOW players/lovers... My respect 4u always, greetings from Guadalajara, Jalisco, México :)
By far still one of the best games ever. I started it all over again when I got my PS5. it makes a Big difference. The graffix are more enhanced and gameplay is faster.

@@MariusBoss11458 because there is no point keeping it behind the "exclusive" logic anymore when the game is this old + new generation consoles already out. Sony make money from it, PC gamers get to play a game they wanted for so long. It's a win-win.
Love your videos. I just started playing God of War and I absolutely love this game. This is definitely a huge help in testing out new gear and perks as shown in your videos
Dude you the shit I just took a break myself from ghost of Tsushima to just slay all 9 Valkyrie before goin to bed I’m working nights right now just worked 17 straight days ands quick flip to nights and wanted what gow gives me I love that you’re still playing this masterpiece and bringing this quality to the gaming community so often keep it up!

3:32 what do you have your controls mapped out to? You dodged that like when Kratos slipped Baldur's punch from across the chasm during their first fight
Wow!!! Amazing gameplay!! And brilliant control not getting hit even once.. the combos of the blades of chaos and the leviathan ace were impressive… do you recommend any must have upgrades for the axe? Which upgrade gives the frost burst?

1:20 such a movie moment :)
WTF man this guy keep getting better and better 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😳😟🥺
Always a pleasure to watch a master at work.
Bro the way you killed the wulvers at the end 💯 straight to the point no time wasted 🔥
You know, I wonder just how fast Kratos is actually moving when he slows time? 🔥
How does he do that
@@converse201996 what slow down time ?
@@ragnarr454 yes lodbrok how does he do that ? Is it an upgrade for the axe or talisman? I'm sure it's not the talisman because it wasn't activated
