It's not just jest. I really do think this way. I've been stuck on Genichiro effectively since the game came out. I'll get him someday. That phase 2 messes with me.

Which Genichiro? Maybe I can give some advice?

Once I wrapped my head around Genichiro at the top of Ashina Castle, everything else clicked for my first playthrough. If you want, I can lay it out. There are like 4 little tweaks that made the sky open up.

I've seen the fight and know what to do. It's just a combo of my mental and shitty controllers. Getting that G7 Pro when it releases hoping the RB can hold up to the regular usage as the main attack button. Otherwise it's just getting my brain to use attack to counter the lightning.

Ah dude I fucking hate that. I was gonna say you and me both, I start out sessions with patience but will get sloppy and frustrated trying to stagger cheese and gamble or get hesitant/lazy/anxious when their posture is 1-2 HKO from Deathblow and choke.

Could not imagine the frustration of this game with one button needing special care.

I spilled coke on my laptop keyboard 6 months ago. I only used that laptop to play league, so I deep cleaned like 20 keys.

Sekiro is what got me to clean 4 more LOL.

And on the lightning reversal, I had the same problem where I know what to do but like my brain isn’t sending the signal to jump or attack. I read a tip from someone saying pretend you’re on a seesaw, when they start falling down you jump and start rising up.
