I gotta say Joey, that was by far the best explanation of how to execute both of the cancels. I just subscribed because of that alone. There are soo many content creators that just explain things in a way that makes me want to swim face first in to an outboard motor. So it's refreshing to find a human that has a talent for tutorials that are easy and quick. Keep up the good work mate 👍👍
One thing I forgot to mention when using the reload cancel, another really good time to use it in survival is when you're standing at the edge of any defense circle, enemies will treat you as if you're standing outside of the circle so most of them will just stand still making it easy target practice, but just watch out for the ones that are close enough to attack you. Watch any of my nightmare survival solo runs to see what I'm talking about
I'M REALLY LATE, but ranged weapon enemies will still attack you even if you're standing in the edge for example: Bomb Throwing Enemies, Archers, Shotgun Brutes, Oni Archers, etc.
Over a year playing the game, i consider myself pretty good, not the best definitely, but with this info I'm definitely gonna get crazy savage in the game... Thank you much !!
You're welcome, feel free to checkout the other tutorials I have on my channel. One thing I'd give an extra tip that I don't give in this video, put reload speed as a perk on skipping stone bow, makes reload canceling way faster than without it
I had my doubts but this video turned out very good. Being able to see the reload cancel done was best part . Thanks for the information. Will be trying it out.
Thanks dude, appreciate it. I normally don't ever make content like this so that means a lot. Had a couple people tell me they've tried it and really works out for them, hopefully you'll get similar results 💯
Hey mate thanks to your reload cancel tip I finally got a 300+ kill game with the hunter. Really appreciated the hand cam man! Keep up the good content
And here I was thinking you're just the guy "who solos NM survival" lol. super impressive. Really helpful info here. Much appreciated. As far as "the glitches" I don't see how they are glitches since they take technique and skill to perform.
Yeah haha, I technically did a lot of nightmare survival videos so it's fine for you to make that statement. But also technically this channel is mainly me sharing my dance choreography making me a "guy who shares dance videos" I normally don't make content like this, but I got questions all over Facebook and some here on youtube about how I'm doing this, so instead of constantly explaining how to do it, why not make a video right? That dude on the Facebook thread claims to be a game designer who worked for Blizzard and Unreal, yet straight up called me a trash gamer for this tech and calls this in his own words what game designers call "a glitch in the matrix" which is the most stupid thing I've seen on that thread. This tech isn't even as game breaking as the Hunter ability glitch or the farming glitch from earlier versions of the game, so idk what the heck that dude was talking about. Long comment my bad haha, but thanks for the sub. Not sure if I'll continually keep posting Ghost of Tsushima videos regularly, just wanna post whatever I find good to share
I just watched AfunNightmare solo Nightmare Survival in 27-minutes, and their video is the first video that's made me look up how to do the reload cancel "trick", which is how I found your video, and I'm now in awe of both of you. Soloing Nightmare is insane, and so is the reload cancel technique! And I mean that with the highest praise!
Thanks! You should checkout my other tutorial I made not too long ago, I give a couple more tips in this next one th-cam.com/video/PQzi2dOjEOs/w-d-xo.html
Seeing your nightmare survival solo runs had inspired me to pursue completing a solo run with samurai, as difficult as it is, it's possible right? Your videos have been an IMMENSE help since I had started the process over a week ago. thank you for continuing to post advice on playing the way you do, it's been a huge help so far :) it's not going unnoticed to Legends fans!
Glad I could inspire you and others within the community who play Legends 💯 it's definitely possible to do it as a samurai, but I think it might take a bit longer. I was attempting it with Samurai the other night, but I don't clear enemies as quick as I do with the hunter and I was getting sleepy during that attempt haha. With that katana cancel, it made things a whole lot easier, I can handle the bears on round 25 much better now with this new tech. Hoping this improved your gameplay and others as well 🙏
Good content, not sure if I will use it but handy to know. Hope your channel grows as you have a good voice and calmness in your videos. You got my subscription

Thanks for sharing this 🙌 this is game changer! I’ve been truing to learn how to do this and could never find out how, thank you so much man, really appreciate your time to share it
Hey Joey. Nice video. Looks like you nailed it. And I guess my comment in the Facebook would be right, if you have the Back Button Attachment, it will help a lot, because you can map the Circle button to one of the buttons behind.
Hey Benny, thanks dude. That back button will definitely help if people don't wanna use that way of gripping the controller that I show in this video. Also thanks again for that key comment I talked about on Facebook
Joey Dominguez: "Make sure you don't hold any direction while doing the katana cancel" My controller: "Ayyyy I'm just gonna drift the analog stick over this way, you cool with that?" (lol, liked and subbed man, this was great! Will definitely come back to this again when I start playing Hunter as well)
@@joeyAdominguez I joke but honestly Tsushima is one game that's usually pretty awesome about this since it has dead zone settings. Really wish more games had that, or even better, if the PS4/5 had it as a system-level setting. It bugged me a lot in God of War and it sometimes is a problem in Spider-Man as well.
I already knew how to do this since the game came out but i wanna improve my bow canceling. This helped alot and that fucking cut off of him screaming was so fuckinf funny. It was random
Saw your post on FB and I tried practice with “square” then “triangle” and nothing happens, didn’t know I have reversed the button sequence! Thanks for the tips and since I have left that toxic fb group (full of whiners and kill count boasters) I much prefer to subscribe your channel my friend. (:
Yeah man, it was tough to figure out Allen's tech til someone kinda pointed out you needed to push the dodge button, but he couldn't figure out the timing til I messed around with it. There's definitely a lot of bad apples in that FB thread, but there are a handful of good people/players on there too. Thanks for the sub, but I probably won't post content frequently regarding this game, but there are some other content creators who play still and make content more frequently than I do. You should watch Twin Ponchos, Gooshy Gaming, and Allen's youtube link is in the description of this video if you wanna see more high level play
Correct way: FIRST press 1=🔘, SECOND Press 2=🔲. Second way - Water katana: More damage: Hold=🔺 > after 3 seconds press 3 times 🔺 🔺 🔺 then 1=🔘, 2=🔲 until you finished with the target! = Insane damage ;) BR Good work Joey ;)
I purchased a Scuf for PS5. I got both the reflex and reflex fps in which the latter have the triggers replaced with instant ones. Do you think the reflex fps will work better for the bow cancel???
hi! thanks for these videos. I'm planning to make a Ghost of Tsushima No Upgrades Lethal tips video series and the Katana Cancel tip has been helpful but I have a question have you ever been able to get more than 6 hits in a singleplayer duel? I've been able to get my hits into the double digits with normal enemies, but in duels, it always seems like there's a hard cap of 6 hits after a stagger I can't be sure whether it's me still needing more practice or if it's a game limit you've had time to master the technique, have you ever been able to get more than 6 hits with this in a duel? thanks again!
There is another animation cancel that is a slash instead of the upward strike it isn't much of a difference but the slash is faster. It running and striking but repetitively
I already made a video on Dash Attack cancel. There's a new cancel I wanna make a tutorial on and it's faster. Moon Master Cancel is super good against brutes th-cam.com/video/PQzi2dOjEOs/w-d-xo.html
How come in your clip at 2:45 do you shoot so much faster than the other times? I can't get it to cancel and shoot that quickly. Is that not the skipping stone bow?
That's the "Scent of Blood" Technique making me shoot that fast. It has nothing really to do with my button presses or the perks on the bow. Scent of blood increases your reload and draw speed by 100% for 30 seconds after performing a critical strike or assassination. If you watch the clip, I do an assassination from above then do the reload cancel + the scent of blood
@@joeyAdominguez Hey Joey, big fan here! I'm still confused about which is better (reload or draw) since the input cancels the reload animation... wouldn't draw speed get the arrow out faster?
Do u still play this someone told me to check your channel out I been playing ghost of Tsushima for 3weeks I’m fairly new I wanted to understand how to do moon cancel every time I try I get killed
You can if you want to But if your good without using an assist then no problem it won't make a difference for a player like him so either way as long as you Hit your headshots your good. I know some people do not like it because it ruins their flow... Others use it mainly because it helps alot against teleporting oni's especially and comfort.
You can do that dash cancel animation instead, so you dont have to hold your controller like that. The fwrd + r3 + □, r1 one. I wonder which is better though, damage wise.
Yeah, that happens with controllers. I've gone through at least 3 to 4 controllers, but I have one that's lasted for 2 years with no problems, and it's not even a pro ps5 controller
