    I've gotten quite a few comments about the loud sound at 33:22, I thought the onscreen warning would be enough but I wasn't thinking about people who were just listening to the video. I've gone ahead and removed the part of the video with it in youtube's built in editor, but it may take a while for the change to take effect. Sorry everyone.

    at 18:49 the reason there are less missiles when jumping is because the game wants to put the missiles right in front of you to have you avoid them, but when you're in the air the game cant find any pathing for your character from the side of the building so it waits till you're on the "ground" again

  • @tosyl_chloride
    @tosyl_chloride 10 місяців тому +173

    26:29 For this combo, usually I'd just insert a dodge between the second and third slashes, since Sam's sheathing animation provides ample time to get out of the blocking animation, and move to his side or back. This would do away with the waiting time that normally comes with blocking the third/fourth slashes as well, so you can get a little bit more damage in during the time span.

    Does parrying even have any meaning anymore........
    Also, who could forget Ripper mode and its glorious ability to send Raiden flying with the Pole-arm or the aerial kick attack.

    MGR fun fact: during the Monsoon fight if you deal too much damage right after he throws things at you, you'll skip the part where he launches his arm at you (the cutscene that says "I have won this") making him instead attacking with the vehicles.
    Second MGR fun fact: during Armstrong's first phase you can actually trigger the other phase just by staying alive for something like 2 30 minutes

    I feel your pain on the Sam fight. I haven't done the entire game with the wooden sword, but I did beat Sam on Revengeance difficulty, hitless, using the wooden sword, with no consumables or secondaries, and I did the usual second phase instead of perfect parrying the charge. It was painful, but finishing it was SO worth it! Took about fifteen minutes on my winning attempt.

    I was thinking of doing this challenge myself, but on a semi-new game, basically just going through the game with minimal upgrades, getting wooden sword and then downgrading its damage with no other upgrades on hard, not sure if I'll be able to actually make a video out of it though.
    Loved this video though.
    16:05 this part also reminded me of something that I somehow completely forgot about during the Monsoon fight, this is going to help me so much getting the Stormbringer achievement, I was always trying to just evade it but got hit by some stray explosion hitboxes that remained for a deceivingly long time. I remember blocking it in my very first playthrough (Keyboard + mouse, because I didn't have a controller at the time), but somehow forgot about it.

    11:20 I want to add another Fun Metal Gear Rising Fact in the tripod section: In Very hard and Revengence, entering the vent at the end gives you a No-damage bonus. But in lower difficulties, doing the same won't. Instead, you have to trigger the alert, and avoid taking hits before entering the vent to get the no-damage tag, which makes this sections a bit harder in lower difficulties. You can trigger the alert by pressing Y in front of one of the guard.

    23:19 I'm pretty sure this is because Sundowner is just frozen in the air. If you look at 23:04, his body falls the moment the final swing connects. However with the wooden sword his body just stays there. There's no footage of this in the video but if you can test it yourself to see the comparison. I cant find his body afterwards though so I'm assuming it just disappears like a normal enemy. Either that or I'm blind.

    Can confirm you can beat it like this. Played it on revengance with wooden sword except for some parts where you absolutely need a regular blade. Good job beating it like this though my friend. I commend you..

      Yeah sorry about that. I've gotten quite a few comments about the sound so I've decided to remove it from the video.
