games

you can't get from 1 world to another freely

some worlds are connected

not all

The power up thing seems like a stronger point against it than connectivity, since metroidvanias have plenty of dead ends

And metroidvanias are usually combat oriented, combat is almost always optional in mainline Mario

but sunshine literally is a connected world

you go back to levels too

with new nozels

its a hub

with warps to other areas

I don't think it counts

its a sign

i just played all of sekiro (100%) in one day

again

for some god forsaken reason

i've actually never watched/played sekiro. is it any good?

Very

it's in my top 5 favorite games

(haven't played it)

my dad for some reason had it on xbox and he was like have you ever seen this game before

and i was like haha maybe

This little indie game

and then proceeded to 100% it

and first try every boss but demon of hatred

woopsie!

That's the one everyone complains about

i didn't have red gourd

so

or the ring

just don’t get hit

demon of hatred is easy

tho i play sekiro like 2-3 times a month

so way more then most

it is easy!

i just dont like phase 3

and i havent played in like half a year!

@bio is your least favorite enemy type still the juzou clones

??

what region

?

every time i fight one

i remember you saying

like a year ago

you really didnt like the juzou-style mini-bosses

i dont know why

oh

but it pops into my head every single time

they’re a bit annoying

easy though

i stand by the

seven spears-style midbosses are way harder

than juzou style

7 spears are so easy, you just deflect and mikiri counter

there is no mini boss id call hard

tho that’s probably from learning all their patterns and having them ingrained into my hands

i would say first run or 2 it was o rin

their mikiris are the hardest for me to call

even after multiple NG+s

when they do their long mikiri it tricks my brain

because every single other one

is similar except that one

even the shinobi hunters have delayed ones sometimes but theyre still easier than the seven spears version

it doesnt help that there's only two? one at the start but one at the end

shinobi hunters you can lock into a pretty easy pattern

everything else you get lots of time to test them/get used to them

yes

do u use high monk or r u cringe and use some dumb special

but seven spears you dont get to see their move sets much and their thrusts are a little weird timing wise

im a double ichimonji/mortal draw

yeah you gotta kinda hesitate

high monk is just reskinned jump

but way cooler

ik high monk is op tho

honestly the weirdest mikiri counter timing is the spear monks

they like jump to the side and come from a weird angle

which makes it hard to counter sometimes

you mean flippy dudes?

with the hats

and twin spears

do they even have a thrust
