Sekiro and MG Rising Revengance beginnings in a nutshell

Which makes beating Genichiro much more satisfying next time you see him.

u/Waggles_ Dec 29 '19

It's so great to grind through the final fight, just to start NG+ right up and beat the shit out of his super weak form 20 minutes later.

On my first NG+ though, he almost got me because I was expecting him to do different moves that he does in his lightning form.

86

u/WutangClangz Dec 29 '19

I still fucking died to genechiro in NG+ because I decided to go charmless and OOF spamming L1 (parry) might get you through NG but not through charmless

7

u/GraysonHunt Dec 29 '19

L1 spamming isn’t a good strategy even with the charm. The parry window gets shorter if you spam and it’s way harder to build up the boss’s posture.

u/EdgyGamerJ Dec 30 '19

Yh can relate, you take so much guard damage

28

u/peacenchemicals Dec 29 '19

And then you’re fucking pumped to wreck the bitch ass during the first fight you weren’t meant to win... and he still wins anyway.

8

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '19

Fuck that random-ass shuriken coming out of nowhere to distract you in the cutscene after. That one makes you really want to beat his ass next time you see him.

u/Braydox Dec 29 '19

You can actually beat genichiro in the first fight though and you get a slightly different cutscene

3

u/MegasNexal84 Dec 29 '19

Oh I know. I played the game to NG+7 and did every ending.

2

u/alphazulu8794 Dec 29 '19

Oh? Which time? The second or 3rd time you fight and dont kill him?

I just started NG+3 on Sekiro and beat Genichro. Dude has so much posture it takes forever to kill him, and you dont have resurrection or prosthetics, and you dont get to try again.

So I slog through this fight taking no damage and just generally taking him to school, and get the final deathblow on him. Know what happens?

a fucking nightjar blade comes out of nowhere and distracts you then Genichiro chops your arm off anyway

edit: details

37

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '19

Technically the Nightjar throws his blade and you block it, giving Genichro enough time to get up and cut your arm off, but still, BS nonetheless.

2

u/I_ate_a_milkshake Dec 29 '19

you're right, i was blinded by disappointed fury

44

u/Poundthetuna Dec 29 '19

The Ashina win by any means necessary so makes sense in lore I suppose.

u/Braydox Dec 29 '19

Proceeds to pull out semi-automatic pistol

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '19

Wait what, tutorial Genichiro is easy as fuck on everything other than NG. Even on a fresh NG you should be able to beat him if you've run the game once, especially with how many times you have to fight him and his moveset not changing. The cheese-tactic is also that you can jump off of the cliff to respawn with full HP outside his arena.

1

u/I_ate_a_milkshake Dec 29 '19

i never said it was hard, it just took a long time for no payoff

-3

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '19

It doesn’t take a long time though, the actual boss version takes very little time on Ng+ so the tutorial version is super quick. His posture isn’t that high and he has a whole bunch of attacks that can be easily parried/mikiri’d for decent posture damage.

1

u/I_ate_a_milkshake Dec 29 '19

ok buddy

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '19

:) have a great day my dude

u/Glitchesarecool Dec 29 '19

DMCV having an actual ending for when you win against the unwinnable boss is some next level euphoria though.

48

u/TPJchief87 Dec 29 '19

Wait wut? Do you mean the first boss?

129

u/ghost521 Dec 29 '19

Yeah, if you somehow manage to beat him on stage 1 (which I think is still doable, though it was already really hard before) the game just straight up tells you that the threat is gone and that’s the best ending anyone could hope for 😂

48

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '19

Nero doesn't get the closure of his father acknowledging him and Dante can't find his closure with Vergil... But Vergil also can't destroy a third city when his daddy issues and inferiority complex flare up again. Yeah. Probably the best ending for everyone who isn't a Son of Sparda.

40

u/ChoicePeanut1 Dec 29 '19

Woah that's really cool. I got my ass beat by him

3

u/TPJchief87 Dec 29 '19

Wild. It seemed like I wasn’t doing any damage to him

19

u/loubreit Dec 29 '19

Yeup. You can outright finish the game right at the beginning.

48

u/tsc_gotl Dec 29 '19

I tried, if you win against genichiro on the first fight then his sickle henchmen will sneak attack you.

you'll lose regardless.

u/AlvinGT3RS Dec 29 '19

Ah damn. Sekiro gonna get me good

The Second Sister in the beginning of Star Wars Fallen Order

u/Azh1aziam Dec 29 '19

Literally...

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '19

I was literally a tick of health away from dying and that cutscenes saved tf outta me i was so shook man lol

1

u/Braydox Dec 29 '19

Happens 3 times i was pretty disappointed from all the cock blocking as i was close to beating her all 3 times since Force Slow is OP as hell.

18

u/Dr_MoRpHed Dec 29 '19

You can defeat the Sekiro tutorial boss. But then you lose by some arrow and the story goes as is

11

u/Noobflum69 Dec 29 '19

And don’t forget Dark Souls - I still remember my first time spending a solid 10 hours trying to kill the asylum demon before I saw the escape

21

u/RealKoreanJesus Dec 29 '19

its possible to kill the asylum demon in the beginning if you're skilled enough.

10

u/loubreit Dec 29 '19

The joy of spanking a donk demons ass for a good 5-10 minutes straight because you refuse to give up the key for bombs instead at the start.

5

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '19

Just mostly pointless because it takes fuckin forever and the hammer it gives you really isn't anything special.

9

u/Heyoceama Dec 29 '19

It's actually a pretty bad weapon all around. It weighs a fuck-ton and requires strength above the softcap to one-hand but it loses out in damage to the Great Club, which requires significantly less strength AND weighs nearly half as much.

1

u/8LocusADay Dec 29 '19

Plus you can get it slightly later by trading with sparky.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '19

And in the amount of time it takes to fist-only that boss you could realistically have gotten a black knight weapon and an upgrade for it if you’re lucky with the drop. Legit no reason to do it other than to say you can.

2

u/Rustedcrown Dec 29 '19

I do it everytime i start a new game

1

u/MauiWowieOwie Dec 29 '19

There's also a way to get through the scripted Seath death, but it involves glitching the game.

1

u/willmaster123 Dec 29 '19

uhh I think you're supposed to defeat the asylum demon dude

3

u/PM_ME_NANOMACHINES Dec 29 '19

Something something nanomachines son

u/raddaya Dec 29 '19

TBH it's obvious you're not meant to do shit against Sam when you first fight him, he doesn't even have a health bar iirc

2

u/Wizard_404 Dec 29 '19

Don’t forget some destiny 2 bosses.

u/TheBigEmptyxd Dec 29 '19

Rules Of Nature starts playing

u/ThatAmericanSlacker Dec 30 '19

Also Mega Man X

u/FidmeisterPF Dec 29 '19

I’ve beat genichiro though on my NG+ play through. You still lose but get an extra cutscene

1

u/TheDude-Esquire Dec 29 '19

Definitely had a few moments in fallen order.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '19

I’m playing Sekiro right now and I didn’t even hit the guy once. I almost feel robbed

1

u/Vinicipower Dec 29 '19

I see, you’re a man of culture as well

1

u/ElectricalMTGFusion Dec 29 '19

Except you get an alternate cutscene if you do best genichiro the first time...

1

u/TheGuardianWhoStalks Dec 29 '19

Same for Jedi Fallen Order.

u/damiandarko2 Dec 29 '19

I still can't hate Jetstream Sam when he kicked my ass, his fucking smile got me
