possible helpful tip for anyone trying to do this, even if you have the other upgraded umbrellas, it might be best for you to use the basic umbrella, reason being is that after you block with the umbrella when you initiate the double ichimonji you run the risk of spinning your umbrella costing you an extra spirit emblem. and if anyone is still having difficulty with lighting reversal, jumping when the kanji symbol is fading was helpful for me. jumping too early sometimes doesn't give you enough air time.
this would be really useful a couple days ago since i started playing sekiro like a few weeks ago All good though i beat him fair and square no cheese needed!
I see both Gyoubu and Genichiro as a litmus test for your skill. They throw almost every essential element of the game’s combat loop at you. If you can get past them (without cheesing), you’ll be able to beat the game.
nice strat, i've learned how to beat all the bosses the good ole' fashion way, but there is something fun and challenging about trying to come up with cheeses, you also learn a lot about the game mechanics in the processes. i did something similar like this with inner genichiro, but it had little room for error and required not locking on and timing your attack. have you tried this strat with following with the projected force attack after blocking then into the Double ichi? might cut down the time but mainly could possibly preserve spirit emblems.
Thanks. I haven't tried with the projected force, but i did try a few other ways and this one seemed the most consistent. also this is pretty early game so I wanted to try get a strat done with as little skills and upgrades as possible in case anyone doesn't have those skills yet. But yeah, you're bang on.. there is something satisfying about coming up with cheese and easy strats.
😆 'cheese' in English gaming terms means to exploit or take advantage of the game mechanics to make something easy. for example dropping a boss off a cliff when that's not meant to be possible. I don't know why it's called cheese though 😕
Who told you the "normal" chese doesn't work? As far as I'm aware (haven't tried it myself) you should just dead angle him for three hits, then do a normal hit, repeat. No need for combat arts or prostetics.
Think they purposely made him like this so that we level our selves up for the rest of the game. once you beat him, at least for me, i felt like i technically understood the game mechanics a lot more. people refer to him as a 'skill check' boss.
If you cheese Genichiro, you will not finish the game. He’s there to make sure you don’t move forward until you learn the basics. In fact, the real storyline of Sekiro starts right after you defeat him right here.
Defeating bosses in this game using cheese tactics then it’s not worth playing this game. Be real and beat this boss . It will help you in further game
damn bro. don't give up. this guy is a bit of a skill check part of the game. cheese strats aside, you just gotta fight aggressively. hit him 2 or 3 times and then he'll attack you back in a predictable way that you can instantly parry. the more you run away, the harder it is. then its just about learning what moves he does when you're being aggressive and just getting used to it. once it clicks, you'll be able to complete the game no problem.
Too many people still playing Sekiro.. so here's an updated easier cheese for Genichiro in 2024. Leave a comment how it went for you 👇🏼
Sekiro is a forever game

I finally did it !!!! Thank you now I can continue the story .
you're welcome bro 👍🏼

honestly its better this way, beating this boss is a major step in understanding the game and hes also pretty fun and fair
Agreed. this guy is like a skill check part of the game. if you beat him fairly, you'll be prepared to take on the rest of the game. you did well 👏
@@juicybossfights i totally agree with you

UA-cam just recommends this video to me and that's great
new to sekiro?
@@ak-qd2jk no, finished sekiro for 2 or 3 years ago
Lol that's the youtube algorithm for you
Bro se agradece los vídeos traducidos, pero me surge una pregunta a qué le llamas queso?

i remember when i play the genchiro cheese me in that corner just like you did
Lol I know wym. Inner genichiro did the same thing to me

it was patched so it's a lot harder to do now.
Don’t get me wrong I beat his 2 stages easily sometimes,But it is a damn chore I just want to cheese him
Cheddar cheese
🤣🧀🧀🤫
for beginners don't do that this fight is important to understand how the game should be played
Can't disagree. its a skill check boss fight. if they cheese here, probably will be cheesing the whole game.
Terribly designed boss

Yeah Phase 3 is just Git Gud Skill Check + Lightning Reversal, not much of a Cheese.

Totally agree. though you could cheese the rest of the game too lol

If you have to cheese this boss this game is not for you haha major skill issue
you seem fun at parties
😂 I get you.. But there's always more cheese for the later bosses lol
I just can’t beat this guy no matter what I try so I’m gonna put this game down for good it’s no wonder I quit playing a year ago.
