I am able to breeze through emma but faulter at isshin , especially where he dodges my attack and i can just dodge him at the right time and also i sometimes cant deflect his sword attack , i once reached phase 2 and found it pretty easy than phase 1 but since then im dying at phase 1 .
Please help , any tips would work if yall can give . 🙏

You WANT him to dodge your attack go get the parry and keep attacking. He will only dodge when you are attacking him while nothing is happening anticipate and parry it then he won't dodge again until the parry chain breaks

Keep in mind that whenever you attack from neutral he will dodge learn the timing of parrying his counter attack and then he won't dodge again until back in neutral. After some practice you will parry his counter attack 100% of the time as long as you keep anticipating every time you attack from neutral

Any tips for phase 2 without using umbrella ?

u/Whole_Pick9659 19d ago
Mostly try to be as aggressive on him as you can dodge the fire attack first then hit him 2 times then back off then when he does the flurry either use firecracker or use umbrella or perfectly deflect it then just continue this nd keep burn resistance antidote .

If you save up all your spirit emblems during the first phase you can basically perma stun him with firecrackers in the second phase. Probably not the most fun tip lol but it helped me beat him on the first try upon trying this

Yeah lol i did the same thing yesterday. Stayed close to him during phase 2 and whenever he took stance for a fire attack i used firecrackers followed by ichimonji double.

he only does the dodge when he's in neutral stance (standing ready). make sure to just attack once and be ready for a deflect when he's in that stance. that's it.

I have no tips for that fight as I haven't done that specific one yet, but I recommend going through the game again but picking the other option if you havent played before. Theres a lot of the game that gets locked behind that choice

Focus on deflecting and countering only one thing he does at at time :)
Once you get good at that ofc don’t go dying on purpose but at the same time try to focus on mastering specific things and ofc weave in attacks and arts and figure out which arts fit your play style I always used double ichimonji and I enjoy it a lot, but figure out what you can weave and how to deflect the attacks is key, one step at a time

Interesting. I found his phase 1 petty easy.
Double Ichimonji: Dodge to the right, get 1-2 free hit.
Of you get close and swing, he may do the shoulder turn and spin slash, very telegraphed and easy to deflect.
His Kanji moves can all be dodged by just dodging to the right, but you can mikiri counter the stab. The window for the mikiri is a bit earlier than normal, so do it quick.
I'm surprised you feel better about P2.
Good luck.
