As always excelent gameplay. This new technique that allows counter/parry yokais is very welcome. Man i'll we be playing this game for a looooooong time.
I can’t comprehend how you do the things you do in Nioh. You’re my main inspiration for wanting to learn this game and get the most out of it. I bounced off of it the first time but now I’ve gotten back into it and doing a lot better.
When you see someone playing like this, and think u can do the same but in reality you use use the 1st 3 skills over N over again while getting your ass handed to you
@@Number-bj1yn oh I know lol I was referring to everyone else lol, but yeah I saw people making k same combos aswell on dmc5 but for me it was super fun just using the motorcycle N the fist lol
Now that the game is out I can only say again people just don’t understand how to play this game, I learnt most of the advanced stuff from your channel and watching other people play is a pain, thank you master gladiator for this awesome gameplay
It is pretty similar to Dark Souls in its gameplay loop to be fair. I love both games, played DS2 + 3 but fell in love with these games because of Nioh 1
@@MatthewManney combat mechanics are nothing to do with the gameplay loop mate. Kill shit for souls/amrita and rest up at bonfire/shrine to regain health/elixers but all enemies respawn. Continue until reaching the boss via shortcuts unlocked as you go through the map. That's the gameplay loop. I agree with you that the combat is better on Nioh, by miles. However, with all the stays on armour and armour sets, the game can get way too easy. Currently on WOTS now and I'm face-tanking bosses and killing them in under a minute
I've been a long time subscriber but this is one of your best videos. It was fun and informative. A great showcase of gameplay, glitches, and tutorial.
I can't get enough of these videos! They inspired me to play better in the first game without hit&run tactics. And as soon as I lose my cool, I just watch another one of these and I'm ready for the next round... basically my spinach, if I was Popeye.
Wow! Great showcase! You are so great with yokai dodge. Really interesting how you use it to get 1/2 a move through then get out of the way of an attack. Really helps to keep the pressure on!! Excited to see what you do with the full game!!
It is missing the 360 no scope headshot. Nice skills, on the twilight mission I was careslly pulling on mob at a time, but you went there and fought all 3 lol
I've been playing for 3 days now and have no idea how anyone could get this good at the game. I'm level 16 and still stuck on Mezuki. I can handle mobs fairly effectively now, but I can't time burst counters correctly (still get the thwack) and trying to get the ki pulse timing right whilst being bludgeoned by a massive mace is... Impossible (for me).
Way late response but this dude not only is a beast at DMC and Ninja Gaiden, etc, he also played the heck out of the first Nioh, so it's no surprise he'd also kick ass in Nioh 2 :D
I must say, you using fleetfoot tech against ryomen looked really nice (along with all other clips you shared)! If you're willing and interested, then I'd love to work together. No pressure :)
You are the greatest Nioh player. I never understood how you manage you ki so well. Would you make a video explaining how you level up your character and how you manage to do so much damage without running out of ki? It’ll be greatly appreciated.
If you switch stances while doing the ki pulse you gain more ki than just by doing a regular ki pulse thanks to ki flux II. That and he's a hell of a skilled player as well lol
Thank you! I use Flux II to recover most of my Ki when i need to as well as understand enemies recovery frames so you can steal few hits and retreat. Also, not holding the guard button helps you regenerate your Ki much faster than when you're guarding so make sure you hold guard only when needed and rely on range management to be out of enemies reach.
Excellent video as always maestro. And of course you would use Basara Utage's ost, it just fits so well. The combos are amazing and that tonfa dash + cancel is the stuff of dreams. How do you feel about the new elements put in, like demon form, the revised skill system, RPG stuff etc? Do they mesh well or are there hiccups now due to unforseen balancing issues?
Thank you! I like the game but balancing it will never happen. I kinda gave up on that ages ago in Nioh 1. So my approach was like: let people do whatever they please and enjoy it the way they seem fit X)
I liked I combination of tonfas(courage) and dual blades(skill) the ki recovery helps a lot. And I loved The Katana(heart) and spear(constitution) very springy on low stance and deadly.
Wallace Sousuke I don’t know i died less times in this demo then the demo before. Maybe I became better or maybe the game was easier or both I don’t know
@@aleee2010 yeah, you definitely got gud :) I died over 10 times to the 1st boss, 13 times to the monkey yokai but strangely none to the Twilight boss, I feel that he doesn't hit hard at all or else I'd have died a few times, but anyway I loved his design, he's a better onrioky or whatever the name of the iron ball yokai from the 1st game
Wallace Sousuke Yeah the horse face boss was the easiest your right. Anyways the game looks amazing can’t wait for it. I will go for the platinum for sure & hopefully will get it if it’s Gods will. Add me if you want coop when the game comes out my ID is car2010
@@lordbane9328 No,it's a sony game,koei tecmo/sony Interactive int,but they release the game on pc for more money,like death stranding,but kojima productions is not a sony studio,koei tecmo is a japanese studio very related to sony.
Thanks for this awesome video, now i know how much i suck at this game. Btw since you tried all the weapons, do you feel like the switchglaive was underpowered compared to others? I see a lot of people saying it's dmg is pretty low.
I wonder if it will become way more powerful as we learn to string longer combos together that utilize all aspects of its weapon. Low Mid and High stances in one combo?
Hey Gladiator can you please explain again how to do weapon switch attack without changing weapons, I try it by pressing r1 in active frames of my attack, changing weapons twice releasing r1 and pressing again but I can’t do it is there maybe something else I miss?
You are changing weapons, but the trick is changing it twice. First, you don't just press R1 during active frames, you need to hold it. While still holding it, after the recovery ends press the d-pad to change to the secondary weapon. Then let go of R1 and press it again with the d-pad to go back to your first sellected weapon and do the usual weapon switch animation.
@@XLHGladiator Well, we might have more, Ninja team always hiding something! Indeed switchglaive is awesome right now! Katana new skill that follow up after sword ki is simple amazing! Looking forward to see more great stuff once full game drop! Cheers man!
how do u make the special yokai grab 0:19? i always try to do with enemys that have ki break and tired but only can do regular grab or yokai skill, wich is the input?
If the last Ki depleting attack was your Yokai burst counter and the enemy is out of Ki it will make the enemy crumble. So, if you press triangle fast enough you can do that Yokai form grab instead of the regular one.
I think it's going to be a fun game. They fixed some of the issues from the BETA but i wish they also reduced the amount of projectile spammers all over the map X)
This game is gonna be insane, can’t wait.

Wait... I knew you could cancel animations with the feral counter, BUT AERIAL ANIMATIONS TOO?! 😵
Also Smokin' Sick Stylish Gameplay my guy!
How am I not gonna get this game?
I loved the hell out of first game!
Game looks extremely fun.
And then you get it and you're playing a quarter of how well he plays 🤣
Just a joke 😋
This i like! I’ve always thought nioh was more like Dmc or Ninja garden than it was a souls game. So I always love to see fast and flashy gameplay.
Indeed, it seems like a spiritual successor to Ninja Gaiden. Even some moves remind me of weapons from NG Black/Sigma 2.
What? The combos are gonna be crazy. Huge step away from the first game big time. I will probably replay this more forsure

I think these Yokai's parents want to speak with you
You control so great just like animal are animal are animal
Just got this game and have been playing nonstop!
Always a pleasure to see yoy work these demons
yo bro I love your vids, can't wait to see more of you
i had no idea you could parry Yokai with an odachi haha
Welcome back to Nioh 2 :D
Excuse me?! @1:11. Hahah! Yes that was interesting! Sick moves bruh!
I'm going to try and get my own demon slaying lady as stylish as you and Miduki someday.
Fantastic skill of combat dude.
1st time I've actually felt bad for the yokai...
Never stood a chance... 🤦🏾♂️
