Glad y'all are finding this helpful! Here are some follow ups and updates I've found since uploading this: 1. I made a timing helper tool! Check it out here -> ua-cam.com/video/npfUr5BSxcQ/v-deo.html 2. For the swiping method, one improvement I've learned (hat tip to Kedican) is to only hit Circle on the 3rd swipe. Then you don't need to do the follow up Circle hit to cancel the kick! I show this in the timing video linked above. 3. I've since seen a 4th method, where you roll your thumb, you can see it in this person's video: ua-cam.com/video/2E7MEZ2xUtY/v-deo.html
Dudee, method 3 worked like a charm here! Now i only need more practice. This was the best video about this subject, no doubt! Thank you so much, cheers from Brazil!
Honestly im only learning these cancels now that ive done everything else. Basically the last thing i have left is to do a perfect custom plat run for the hidden heart sword. I want it so bad. Your explanation is pretty good, picked up on it pretty quick with your video 👍
It's surprisingly tricky.. also using that door to check you're not cancelling too soon was really helpful. I'm going to have to check but I'm pretty sure you've *won the internet for today* Nov 7th 2021.
I've been trying to learn the MMC for months now. I thought I was missing something; turns out I didn't have the moon master perk 😑 Thank you very much sdk for this video!
This is sooooo much easier now that I learned that you can NOT move your character while doing this like you would when you do a regular Moon Master v.s. Moon Master Cancel. I'm kinda new so took me some time to realize that.
Great tutorial my friend! I've noticed when I equip a sword VFX it helped me find the Sweet Spot of when to initiate first swing cancel to begin MMC. Hopefully it might help others but definitely helped me.
When I press triangle and circle in rapid succession in either order it consistently does a heavenly strike. Sometimes it even happens when I'm just trying to dodge
Ok WTF? I have been tryin to learn this Moon cancel forever and I never ever got close to ever landing any of it. I watched your tutorial and still couldn't do it UNTIL you showed the SLIDING OF THE BUTTONS. The moment I did that with a half a second pause between each Slide I got it. Then I tried it on enemies and I was doing it. My man you truly helped me with that tip.
Thanks so much for this vid, bro! By far, THE most thorough instructions out there! Really appreciate you showing the different hand movements, so helpful! Been trying to do this for awhile now to no avail.
@@sdkverse I actually managed to time it well 🙂 This was really helpful! I also use the staggering an enemy has a chance to "something something" legendary katana! Sorry, forgot its name but you guys probably know which one I'm talking about. 😀 Put the poison blade perk on it, and the katana becomes so much fun!
Another way to do it, put your thumb on circle and triangle, and do a worm or wave motion. I press circle with the bone and triangle with my tip. It’s similar to the slide.
When MMC first became a thing the first two ways didn’t really work for me ended up doing the last way but I don’t swipe away I just press triangle and circle after holding triangle and have the kick at the end. Reminds me of Street Fighter 4’s FADC
If someone wants to learn it 1:20 + Do Not move left Joystick while peforming the cancel + When peforming the cancel, rly rly rly short Tap the Buttons. The longer the Press the worser the Chance. Try focusing on rly short Press. This was the missing knowledge, now i can perform it If bevor you pressed the Button normally and the time is Press X x x Then or should now be Press X. Try to Focus on moon canceling Just the first Attack. The Timing is actually good explained in the other Tutorials
🔥🔥🔥Tip: Master the Moon Master Cancel! 🔥🔥🔥 ⚡⚡⚡never fully push down, swift swipe over triangle+circle⚡⚡⚡ + do not use left joystick, while whole moon master cancel act Minimize the duration of your button presses on the triangle and circle buttons. Normally, your fingers press these buttons with "normal" strength and duration, as they have pressed a button countless times. This standard press, however, won't trigger the Moon Master cancel. To perform the Moon Master cancel, you must retrain your fingers. Here’s how: Swipe Across Buttons: Use two quick swipes across the triangle and circle buttons. Edge Starting Point: Start your swipe at the edge of both buttons. This technique helps achieve a shorter press duration. Avoid the Center: Pressing in the middle of the buttons tends to result in a longer press. Starting at the edge and swiping across minimizes the input duration. Focus on making triangle+circle input as brief and light as possible. Your fingers naturally want to apply normal strength and duration, but for this cancel to work, you must override that instinct. This means put your full focus on the keydown press, if it's to long no moon master cancel. This means put all your full focus on the keydown press, if it's to long no moon master cancel. This means put all your full focus on the keydown press, if it's to long no moon master cancel. This means put all your full focus on the keydown press, if it's to long no moon master cancel. This means put all your full focus on the keydown press, if it's to long no moon master cancel. + edge starting point + never fully push down + quick swift swipe over bothTriangleCircle at the same time + no left movement stick input (directional input cancels moon master cancel) The swipe over the triangle and circle (quickly, edge, never full pressdown) should be as quick as touching a hot surface. You wouldnt touch a hot surface instinctively like a normal one? same here, quick, edge, never full. Timing / tempo / Rhythm: ua-cam.com/video/npfUr5BSxcQ/v-deo.html - when to press the buttons - but you re-educate your finger to downpress as brief, short as possible - you see him swipe over triangle and circle at the same Moon master cancel (timestamp) ua-cam.com/video/pHnLnY3SDiE/v-deo.html
Thanks for this... I've tried and given up so many times trying to do this and I kept kicking :( Trying the swipe method I realised that the act of a normal button press it too slow to trigger the next attack. I can now at least trigger the cancel without kicking. Gives me somewhere to start and now I can focus on the timing :D ...RIP my right thumb.
I remember at first my thumb also hurt 😄 but just remember you don't need to hit the buttons hard to trigger them. Just relax your hand. it shouldn't hurt your thumb 😄
This was made assuming you're on a Playstation, but it will work for PC and other controllers, just swap "Circle" for whatever your dodge button is and "Triangle" for your strong attack
Good question, should be the same just need to use swap the button inputs. When the video says triangle, use whatever button you have mapped to strong attack. When it says circle, use your dodge button. The rhythm and options should still work the same
It seems to just be a quirk of some of the methods for doing it, it just kind of happens unless you cancel the kick as well. Though, I will say sometimes it doesn't happen when fighting or doing a killing blow.
It just takes some practice, you'll get it eventually. Can also try this to help get the timing right ua-cam.com/video/npfUr5BSxcQ/v-deo.html Good luck!
It uses the same buttons, so Moon Master Cancel won't work if you have heavenly strike on your build and have enough resolve to trigger it. You'll need to drain your resolve or (on legends) don't use items that give you heavenly strike
How does your sword have black sh** come off of it?... Wait... this is online Legends mode I think... probably a feature in that mode... lol thought it was the story mode or whatever. Lol

I mean you could also just use a scuff and hit the buttons at the same time without any practise
This is by far the best explanation of how to do it. That's so much.
Could you do a video on running dash cancel?
Watch Ghost legends my tactic Blowgun Hallucination Dart ua-cam.com/video/8R557p0Jb84/v-deo.html
I SWEAR I LEARNED IT IN 10 MINS THIS BY FAR WAS THE BESSTTTTT VIDEO TYSM

Dude you're speaking the language of the god thank you!
Of all thing i found method 3 swiping is the simplest and best.
That swipe method is a gamechanger cheers!
Honestly im only learning these cancels now that ive done everything else. Basically the last thing i have left is to do a perfect custom plat run for the hidden heart sword. I want it so bad. Your explanation is pretty good, picked up on it pretty quick with your video 👍
@Waffle Genie i could help with hidden heart if u want

I'm going to have to check but I'm pretty sure you've *won the internet for today* Nov 7th 2021.
Glad it was helpful. Can't wait for my Nov 7th victory plaque.
I'd actually given up trying to get this, one yr later I find this video and just like that I'm doing the moon cancel, amazing video
Thanks a lot for this video! Learned my first animation cancel thanks to this and I‘m super happy!
What is that thing people do when they throw something it explodes and they teleport somewhere else
Excellent tutorial. Easily the best I've seen. Stay active you earned a sub.
Gracias a este tutorial he podido hacer el moon cancel. Muchas gracias por la excelente explicación.
This is the BEST video I've seen so far re: MMC. Can't wait to give this a try. Many thanks, kind sir!!
Good luck!
LOL that ending killed me
I've been trying to learn the MMC for months now. I thought I was missing something; turns out I didn't have the moon master perk 😑 Thank you very much sdk for this video!
Oh that sucks!! Glad you figured it out!!
That 3rd method is THA TRUTH!!! Big thanks brotha!!!
I was trying this blade you tonight and hated it, definitely helped, thanks so much, got my sub
This is sooooo much easier now that I learned that you can NOT move your character while doing this like you would when you do a regular Moon Master v.s. Moon Master Cancel. I'm kinda new so took me some time to realize that.
Wow sdk! Really great video and explanation!! I had given up trying to learn the MMC months ago but you have inspired me to try again!
I CAN DO IT NOW, THANK GOD BRO, BLESS YOU, IT WAS VERY DETAILED
Dude I’ve given up on this but that swipe makes me wanna try it again! Thanks l🙏💪
Great tutorial my friend! I've noticed when I equip a sword VFX it helped me find the Sweet Spot of when to initiate first swing cancel to begin MMC. Hopefully it might help others but definitely helped me.
Wow, awesome. This almost reminds me a throw buffering in Tekken. Great breakdown my guy.🔥💯
Same here. The best explenation I've seen so far. TY!
I've been trying to learn this cancel for a while now. This has helped so much!
DAAAAAAAAMN your last method is on point , really easy really simple works always :D big thanks
When I press triangle and circle in rapid succession in either order it consistently does a heavenly strike. Sometimes it even happens when I'm just trying to dodge
luckily i play mortal kombat so button timing and speed shouldnt be a problem, great vid!
Keep making videos like this, i find ur explanation is the best

I think it becomes easier when you've played fighting games before. Anyways, great tutorial, keep up the great work!
Beautiful explanation. Subscribed
Great explanation! Presentation with how you did it really helps. Thumbs up!
Sdk: now you master the moon katana and be unstoppable
The Oni: Not in my watch 💀
Nice explained 👏🏽🙏🏽
And the ending 😂🕺🏽👌🏽
Nobody explains it better than you did, thanks !!
I can make it, after I see your video. Thanks
Thanks so much for this vid, bro! By far, THE most thorough instructions out there! Really appreciate you showing the different hand movements, so helpful! Been trying to do this for awhile now to no avail.
I also have a timing helper video you can look for and try as well, might help! Good luck, glad it's been helpful!
I'll give this one last shot. Thank you for the video!

The best video I've seen, thanks bro
Great vid. Not sure if I want to use this in my play tbh, but may give it a shot. In any case, best vid I’ve seen on this. Thanks! 👍
damn.... I wanna play this game again... it was so good.
Another way to do it, put your thumb on circle and triangle, and do a worm or wave motion. I press circle with the bone and triangle with my tip. It’s similar to the slide.
Thanks for the tutorial.
I think at this point using an arcade controller might be the best option.
Thank you so much 😊 I am getting it thank you 🙏 for your help really appreciate 🙏🙏🙏 blessed you. And keep up the good work Bro 😎
Love how u show it. Best vid out
Finally i knew how to do that. Thanks
This helped enormously, thank you!

My problem is!!, I have a joystick drift.

+ Do Not move left Joystick while peforming the cancel

X x x
Then or should now be

Try to Focus on moon canceling Just the first Attack.
The Timing is actually good explained in the other Tutorials
Thank you!
Thank you for this 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks 🙏
This was awesome
Nice tips
Thank you so much for posting this video!! This help me a lot ♡
the alternative grip is call piano keying for fighting game peoples
I need to learn this
Brilliant, thank you
Woow i actually managed to do it thanks dood
For PC i assume its Right Click and Q (Right Click is Heavy Attack and Q is block)
A fellow ghost : Alright !! now you should be a master of the moon master cancel , and you should truly be unstoppable
Oni : not on my watch 💀😂😂
Thanks you are awesome 😎
Thank you a lot
You'll truly be unstoppable.....dies at end of video... seems legit
🤣
I hold down 🔻 then I tap 🔺️ and 🔵 and the same time with my index and middle finger be sure to tap them 3 times I found it the easiest way for me
When I do this, it does the instantaneous heavenly strike ( no blue glint )
Impressive!
I just read that you can vanish and use the moon master cancel without breaking vanish
VERY GOOD...OBRIGADO MANO
The right moon cancel should finish with katana strike not with the kick. In this case you probably missing the last pressing of O-button (circle).
He does mention it
Am I the only one using R1 and R2 for attacks? Which make it really easy to do cancels.
damn dude tns
damn ,this shit is dope

Almost 6 months trying and i cant do it.. i do all the other cancels but this one i dont know ahaha i cant do it
I seem to have better results pressing triangle just before circle instead.
The circle button is for parrying?
This was made assuming you're on a Playstation, but it will work for PC and other controllers, just swap "Circle" for whatever your dodge button is and "Triangle" for your strong attack
how to do this on PC version with keyboard and mouse?
Good question, should be the same just need to use swap the button inputs. When the video says triangle, use whatever button you have mapped to strong attack. When it says circle, use your dodge button.
The rhythm and options should still work the same
Great explanation! I just don't get why you would always do that kick?
It seems to just be a quirk of some of the methods for doing it, it just kind of happens unless you cancel the kick as well. Though, I will say sometimes it doesn't happen when fighting or doing a killing blow.
This must be a pc only mode?
I tried 5 months ago and couldn’t do it i guess I can try again
You can doooooo it
Omg i can’t get this right it’s so hard for some reason
It just takes some practice, you'll get it eventually. Can also try this to help get the timing right ua-cam.com/video/npfUr5BSxcQ/v-deo.html Good luck!
Hi, does adding more 12% melee damage on weapon, 12% kunai, etc. + 25% melee damage equip with samurai skill does more damage with the moon cancel?
Yep, melee damage +% applies to all of your katana attacks.
@@sdkverse Hey thanks, I'm going to try the Moon Cancel!!
Now when you do the slide method are you hitting circle first or triangle (Swipe)
For the swipe you can basically do the same time. But if you're going to do one at a time, circle first.
@@sdkverse alright thanks
Is hard man
you'll get it! can also check out the timing tool video on my channel as well if you need more help! good luck!
Please tell me what is that dark sword effect with every hit ?
its smoke i believe
Could you do one showing the dash attack cancel? I seem to always throw a sticky on accident lol
I haven't mastered that one myself yet 😆, maybe after I do...
DA cancel MUCH easier (imo) opinion than MMC. See Joey Dominguez' video tutorial on this.
Whenever I try this my heavenly strike goes off. Why?
It uses the same buttons, so Moon Master Cancel won't work if you have heavenly strike on your build and have enough resolve to trigger it. You'll need to drain your resolve or (on legends) don't use items that give you heavenly strike
OBRIGADO
hey how do can you have 2 traits the flame one + the moon master i saw you have both of them on the 120 lvl sword how ?
Complete mastery challenges for that katana. There's an option on each gear for starting the process, it will bind that gear to that class
So, at that point, the game becomes a fighting game with an arcade stick 😂
hi in the game settings, is the key option in simplified or standard mode please
How to do on single player without triggering heavenly strike
Can't really, if you have resolve, it will trigger. this is more for legends
How does your sword have black sh** come off of it?...
Wait... this is online Legends mode I think... probably a feature in that mode... lol thought it was the story mode or whatever. Lol
what if i have a legendary katana and get moon stance? Do i still need moon master?
On legendaries, as long as it has moon stance, you automatically get the master perk too
