Normally I don't watch videos that take this long to show how to beat someone. However, your video was clearly, handsdown better than most short 2 minute videos. good job. you just won yourself a subscriber.
I tried so many vids and strategies, but after watching your guide vid and learning about the Ichimonji: Double? It was a MASSIVE improvement. I only needed 1 or 2 tries to beat him and I took him DOWN! Thank you SOOOO much!
You are most welcome kilnorc glad to hear the Ichimonji strategy worked well for you 👍 it can be tricky to pull off at first but once you get the timing down, he's easy work. Congratulations brother, thanks for watching and best of luck with the rest of the game 👊
Found this video searching for Genichiro tips. Been looking at vids on this subject for 2 days. Just wanted to let you know I think yours is the best I found. In depth explanation starting at how to get the skills required all the way through to an in depth explanation of how to win with those skills. You have a new subscriber in Southeast Texas. I haven’t beaten him yet but your vid gave me confidence. Wish me luck. Thank you!
Hey Fozzie, thanks a lot for your positive feedback, much appreciated! Glad to hear my guide gives you better insight on how to beat him. As with all bosses it will take several tries, but no where near as many without this guide :) Massive thanks for your subscription too its great to have you on board! Good Luck with beating Genichiro, let us know how you get on buddy??
Worked a 12 hour shift today and then came home. I only play about 60-90 minutes after I get home after 12 hour shifts so I knew time was limited. First attempt was sloppy and didn’t go well. Second attempt I started sloppy and used 4 healing gourds before taking his first health bar out. Almost quit out to try again but decided to press on for the practice. Used 2 healing gourds while taking his second life bar out as I screwed up and forgot to switch to shadow rush right after the first health bar was gone and paid the price in lost health trying to change during an inopportune time. Got to lightning dude and used 1 health gourd pretty quickly due to dodging lightning instead of jumping up and shooting it back at him. Rest of the lightning phase went pretty flawless and took him down. I yelled “HELL YEAH” in the house and then the wife yelled at me for yelling but I didn’t care because Genichiro was down. HUGE thanks again for the great video! I’m sure I will need more help soon so I will be back!
Good job Fozzie, high five bro! Sounds like you didnt have too much trouble in the end once you sussed out his sneaky tactics. Well done on not giving up at the last hurdle, ive had plenty of those "HELL YEAH" moments myself making everyone around me jump loool, it just cant be helped with this game! Good luck with the rest of the bosses, i have a feeling you will do just fine bud, Enjoy :)
I literally just beat him about 10 mins ago. Kept distance and worked him first 2 and used only 2 fire crackers at the end of 2nd phase to kill him quick. 3rd phase kept a distance to force him into the lightning move and that was over in 30 secs. All together 30-40 tries
Omg thank you, this boss seemed unbeatable but using your advices and with lots of practice, finally beat him. I had to use a combination of shadow rush, sugars and eals as well.
I used Ichimonji Double for the first two phases of Genichiro, then when I started the third phase when I switched to Shadow Rush and kicked his ass. Your video was great….it took me about 6 tries, but I finally did it…thank you so much!
Just wanted to leave a "Thanks" for this video. I was stuck with Genichero for over 200 attempts. Not that I was not able to read his moves, but I always got hit because of greed / or being over aggressive. This method starts slow, but surely very safe and bound to succeed. I was able to use this method and practicing a couple attempts, was able to succeed. The beauty of this method is that it limits Genichiro moves, and he is almost left to the grab attack which can be beautifully punished with 1 ichimonji and then double consecutively. Single best resource to beat his first 2 phases. Third phase is relatively easy with baiting his jump mikiri and lightning.
You're most welcome! So glad to hear the strategy i found with Ichimonji worked just as well for you, as it did for me 👍 As you mentioned It does require patience and proper timing, but once thats down its a fairly easy encounter. Thanks for your feedback and good luck with the other bosses 🍻
Wow... I was stuck with this boss forever. I watched all the videos, none had helped. Then I saw yours. A couple of tries later I got him. Ichimonji Double is my go to attack since then! Thank you so much for this!
Thats so awesome to hear! 🙏 Its a case of practice, with dying being the process of learning, after a good few times it will all start to click into place. Then you'll kick his ass. 👊 Dont give up and best of luck 🍻
This is BY FAR the best video i have seen how to defeat Genichiro. You have explained his moves so well, so i focused on his moves. Unlike other videos your tactics are as a true shinobi and not some cheese tactics, which is not bad btw but still so more satisfying to beat him like a true shinobi! Thanks
First 2 round was piece of a cake with shadow rush technique. Only the 3rd round was stuck due to his thunder attack. Your vid help me beat him in 3rd and final round . Thnx
Indeed Stage 3 is where many have the most trouble! But once you nail the timing to counter his lightning, he's doomed lol. Thanks for watching and good luck with the other bosses 👊
God bless you, im more reactionary than just going off rhythm so this was i can react based on unblockables. Im definitely using the ninja skill in phase 2 to knock out half his health to
Damn wish I would have seen this earlier, I killed him by essentially learning his every move until it became second nature. I feel like I can comfortably incorporate this into my NG+ version of him though.
This was the most useful guide ever I have attempted him so many other times with different guides but after watch’s this and doing it only two or theee time I finally managed to beat him
I consider myself quite amazing at Dark Souls, but this game... I've been fighting this boss for a while now. Thanks for the great strategy! I'm glad I found the channel.. And... Subscribed!
You are most welcome Bryce! Glad to hear the guide was helpful for you, i hope it helps you get the most from the awesome game 👍 Thanks so much for your sub and support brother, respect 👊
@@GamerGrade after but a few days of agonizing deaths I finally succeeded! He was something else my friend, now just another 10 minutes until the next boss I will struggle with haha it is an amazing game for sure. Keep up the great work brother!
I can’t thank you enough for this vid. I’ve been stuck on this asshole for a week solid. Watched every other video and nothing. Followed your steps and killed him first go and only lost one life on the 3rd stage. Your a ledge!
I subscribed 😊 I've been literally playing with Genichiro for more than 8 hours and I'm enjoying every fraction of second. Thank you Jay for the awesome videos.
8 hours of battling Genichiro and still loving every second?! You are in the minority of gamers who genuinely enjoy a consistently tough challenge bro 👊 I have no doubt you will beat the game with a smile on your face :) Thank you kindly for your sub my friend, your support is greatly appreciated 🍻
YOU ARE AWESOME!!! about weeks im stuck here.. but once i saw ur video i followed it was easy beasy.. second phase just be away from him once he jump, jump and press R1 his lighting will harm him you are amazing flaming!!! warm regards
The most thorough guide I’ve seen so far. After watching this I think I’m ready to kick his ass. Think my problem was I wasn’t being patient. I just ran in and attacked, I was using the Ichimonji 2x but was being hasty. You just got a new sub
You nailed it right on the head there man, patience is definitely the key of when to attack and when not to attack. The battle may take a little longer, but you'll increase your chances of success and reduce incoming damage, which really stacks up. Take your time, dont give up, and enjoy the challenge :) Massive thanks for your Sub too which is really appreciated! Great to have you on board bro 🍻 Good luck with all bosses, and stay frosty 👊
GamerGrade spent an hour perfecting his first two health bars without using my healing gourd. The problem was the 3rd phase. I’d get nervous and he’d just wreck me. I figured he was just the same just less armour and lightning plus that lunge attack is also a weakness. I went to bed and clapped his cheeks first try today. Was relieved and nervous all in one, not even bother watching the cutscene, just skipped it so I could save. I’m guessing he’s like Sigrun from God of war. I’ll be back to your guide when I’m at swordsaint.... Ashina
Awesome job man, i knew it wouldn't be long before you reported the win! Sometimes you just need to come away, rest, process all those tactics, then jump back in refreshed, then BOOM! Its one of those games that takes several tries, but when it clicks, its a stellar feeling. Unfortunately i didn't find time to cover all bosses, such as Isshin, but i have no doubt you will triumph! Keep kicking butt bro 👊
Lol well i hope the strategies in the video help! If you keep practicing them, and dont give up, you will most certainly taste victory! Good luck bro 👊
@@GamerGrade it definetly helped! You reminded me that dodging is an option, now I can get to his 3rd phase with 5 heals and 2 resurrections , by dodging so many of his attacks,every other video I watched just kept saying to deflect deflect deflect. Sadly I cant get the double move because I've already spent so much xp, grinding 1 level now takes 2.5 hours of work. Thanks again!
Awesome job dude, dodging is most definitely underrated! Deflections work well but can be tricky to pull off all the time. You're almost there, no doubt you'll have him beat very soon, keep going bro 👍
Sweet! I was expecting to hear this victory confirmation haha, determination always wins, well done man 👊 Massive thanks for you sub too! Great to have you on board brother 🙏
@@XDG I have accounts but I stopped managing them properly due to time, so their pretty much inactive. Need to put some time into growing them. How about you?
Finally getting around to this game after all these years and having trouble with Genichiro lmao. Great guide but does need a lot of farming to get all the recommended skills, esp if you want shadowrush+ichimonji double.
After watching a lot of guides of how to beat him yours is the best one, I haven’t beat it yet but now I get to the last phase without any hit but in the last phase he always kills me haha but I will beat him , good video you have a new subscriber
Thank you for the positive feedback Fabian! Much appreciated 🙏 Your Sub is massively appreciated! Great to have you on board my friend 🍻 Good luck and dont give up :) 👊
Great guide, i use the double imojij strategy on the third phase also but dodge the lighting strike, i take me alot of practice and death, i would say about 100 deaths, but your guide is great, thanks.
I’ll give your method a try. I can beat his first 2 phases but once he turns into lightening boy I’m stuff is usually depleted that I can’t afford to make any mistakes.
Wow U are awesome But unfortunately when i searched how to defeat genichiro in utube ur video didn't appear Nevermind, great work brother! Glad i watched this video
Thanks Ethan! 🙏 Yeah i show up for some phrases but not others, i think its to give us all a fair share of impressions :) Hope you're enjoying the game my friend 👊
Thanks bro................ But the more important thing is........... You cant even win the first deathblow if you are raging or angry at yourself........ Just RELAX you got this :)
You do realize you can stealth kill the rats without wasting spirit emblems on the axe, right? You only need to break their hats if you've already alerted them and are facing them in combat.
@@GamerGrade I did it last night haha.it wasn't actually too hard once I fight his final form enough to get the patterns. Doing the castle invasion part now 😌😁
Did you kill him? I am still fighting with him from yesterday and Its making me crazy especially In the final phase. Always late for lightning deflect.
I preparing myself for this dude,lady butterfly took me 4 attempts,but 7 spears kick my ass so hard I almost stop playin the game,after I obtain Ichimonji I finaly beat him,so without double ichimonji I don't go there
Bro I’m on the verge of crying right now I need some help please! I’ve got all the skills and I struggle still and don’t get me started on the 3rd stage
Keep practicing the strategy in the video bro, its key to success, you will nail it if you keep practicing! It may take many tries, but each time you will get that little bit better. Dont give up man 👊
Awesome job man, i knew you'd crack it! Good luck with the ape, remember, it can take a good few tries. The key is to never give up, you're improving with each attempt 👊
fuckin thanks bro, after watching 20 videos of shadow rush vids, or slash, dodge, slash, dodge repeat vids dying over 100 times in 5 hours or more, wasting over 500 spirit emblems ichimongi was the key! didnt even need to use 1 emblem. i beat it before but new game plus without kuro charm was way harder than 1st game for me. all i had to do was keep jumping and air ichimongi double bonkin his melon lmao thx
you are incredibly accurate and good. But it's really too complicated. If one needs a guide to beat a boss, you can't suggest being able to recognize and react to 4 different unblockable attacks in 4 different ways. If I could do it, I would already beat him without a guide :-)
Yeah Genichiro is one of the tougher more troublesome bosses with increasingly tricky stages, hence the reason the video is complex. However, if you break it down into bite sized chunks, and process in small steps, its not so bad if you take your time and practice. I wish you luck bro, thanks for the feedback! 👊
It's not like I don't know these things but it more the problem that my brain just goes straight to caveman when I fight him. I don't got got the mental stability for this fight
Its because you havent learned his patterns yet and become confident with knowing when to react with the proper counters in good time. Practice is the only way to fix this. How many times have you tried, and can you reach stage 2 yet?
Finally beat him after practicing mikiri counter and just getting in he's face and learning from these tutorial he was defeated and it was worth all those deaths🙏😊
Yeah It definitely seems that way first several tries but learn the attack patterns step by step and trust me, he will start becoming much easier. Dont give up!
@@StateOfMind63 yes indeed. Finally managed to finish him and the entire game. Looking back I rate Genichiro the 3rd hardest boss behind Ishin and demon of hatred.
You don't have to face him that early though , you are able to progress alil bit to help get ready for this battle , when I first fought him I had 4 prayer necklace's- vitality 14 ,attack power 3, 7 healing gourds , farmed alil so I also had most skills unlocked and about half of the prosthetic tools pretty much leveled up all the way (well to the 2nd highest they'd go) anyway all that shit adds up an makes a difference
@@GamerGrade i noticed it in ur vid great vid btw but still didnt beat him he kills me last second anyway i will beat him tom cuz am gonna get shadow rush
Holy crap! NOTHING I DO IS WORKING AGAINST THIS GUY! I can never get the Mikiri Counter in-time! 2 days and about 7 hours in already and still can't even get one life off of this guy! WTH!!!! I think i have to restart playing the game so I can buy the right skills. I spent alot of money on stuff that is irrelevant now. Unless I go and just kill guys the already completed levels to gain the hit points and then buy it.
Keep in mind that Genichiro has three different danger attacks and you'll have to recognize the animation tells that telegraph each one. Only the thrust can be countered by mikiri. Also although you see videos of people deflecting the jump up high slash, I recommend just jumping out of the way.
I think I figured the pausing thing out ,you can't pause the game if your jumping or falling or if your standing to close to an enemy ,against genichiro id just run to the other side and could pause it everytime
I mean.. this is the point when im just done with this game.. this boss fight is a absolutely impossible to win for me. Is there any realy easy way to win? Because this isnt Easy method at all..
I agree its not easy, as it requires several tries and fails even if you have a guide. Genichiro is one of the tougher bosses. How many times have you tried so far?

Awesome job dude, dodging is most definitely underrated! Deflections work well but can be tricky to pull off all the time.
You're almost there, no doubt you'll have him beat very soon, keep going bro 👍
@@GamerGrade Finally!! Lol . I got him without having to res once and have 2 heals leftover! Thanks again,again! Subbing for sure!
Sweet! I was expecting to hear this victory confirmation haha, determination always wins, well done man 👊
Massive thanks for you sub too! Great to have you on board brother 🙏
This is the kind of video I needed, thanks very helpful 👍
You are most welcome Hugo! Good luck and thanks for commenting and watching my friend 🙏
Great breakdown as usual bro!
Thanks man, appreciate it :)
@@GamerGrade Are you on Twitter or Facebook?
@@XDG I have accounts but I stopped managing them properly due to time, so their pretty much inactive. Need to put some time into growing them. How about you?
Defeated, I owe you a huuuuge hug❤️☺️😂
Thanks Kristof! Glad to hear my video was helpful 🙏
Good luck with the other bosses my friend 👊
You just made my day mate
Thank you
You are most welcome Monty 🙏 Glad the video was helpful my friend! Thanks for watching and commenting, good luck with the rest of the game, Enjoy 👍
Your videos sir are amongst the best and most in depth there are out there. Well done.👍👍
Thank you kindly for the positive feedback! Much appreciated 🙏
Great to know im on the right track 🍻
Finally getting around to this game after all these years and having trouble with Genichiro lmao. Great guide but does need a lot of farming to get all the recommended skills, esp if you want shadowrush+ichimonji double.
Yeah i agree, its well worth it though as those skills are a game changer for certain enemies/bosses 👍
@@GamerGrade of course once I grinded and got Ichimonji Double it completely changed the fight and I beat him in a few tries 😅Thanks for the guides!!!
Congrats on the win! 🍻
After watching a lot of guides of how to beat him yours is the best one, I haven’t beat it yet but now I get to the last phase without any hit but in the last phase he always kills me haha but I will beat him , good video you have a new subscriber
I just beat it haha, thank you so much for the guide.
Thank you for the positive feedback Fabian! Much appreciated 🙏
Your Sub is massively appreciated! Great to have you on board my friend 🍻
Good luck and dont give up :) 👊
Awesome job man! I knew it wouldn't be long before you kicked his ass haha 🍻
it was tough but your guide helped a lot, cheers mate
You're most welcome! Congratulations on the win 🍻
Great guide, i use the double imojij strategy on the third phase also but dodge the lighting strike, i take me alot of practice and death, i would say about 100 deaths, but your guide is great, thanks.
You're most welcome Jim! Thanks for watching :) 🙏
Congratulations on not giving up after 100 tries, you most definitely deserve that sweet win bro 👊
You sound like you should be narrating Police Interceptors 😂😂😂
Haha ill take that as a compliment :)
Thanks for watching!
GamerGrade absolutely 🙌🏼
Best Sekiro guide!
Thanks so much! Appreciate the feedback :) 🙏
I’ll give your method a try. I can beat his first 2 phases but once he turns into lightening boy I’m stuff is usually depleted that I can’t afford to make any mistakes.
It may take several tries but you'll nail it, good luck!
Let us know how you get on? 👊
I've seen other videos with different techniques. I think this is the best one.
Thanks for the feedback Scott! Glad to hear the video was helpful 🙏
Good luck with the other bosses 👊
Wow
U are awesome
But unfortunately when i searched how to defeat genichiro in utube ur video didn't appear
Nevermind, great work brother!
Glad i watched this video
Thanks Ethan! 🙏
Yeah i show up for some phrases but not others, i think its to give us all a fair share of impressions :)
Hope you're enjoying the game my friend 👊
New drinking game: Take a shot every time he says Ichimonji.
Thanks bro................ But the more important thing is........... You cant even win the first deathblow if you are raging or angry at yourself........ Just RELAX you got this :)
Deep Inhale, hold... exhale, focus...
Rinse and repeat, kick ass 👊
You do realize you can stealth kill the rats without wasting spirit emblems on the axe, right? You only need to break their hats if you've already alerted them and are facing them in combat.
Yep thats another method to get the job done :)
Thanks for sharing the tip bro 👊
Good job thanks
You're welcome! Thanks for watching 🙏
Good luck with the other bosses 👊
You are the best
After watching your video , it took me 3 attempts to beat his ass
Thanks
Congratulations on kicking his ass! 👊
Thanks for watching and good luck with the other bosses 🍻
I demand you come to my house and do that. I'm stuck. I'll make you pop tarts and coolaid
I love pop tarts! 😍
Dont give up, practice the strategy in the video, it gets easier.
Ill be rooting for ya, good luck 👊
@@GamerGrade I did it last night haha.it wasn't actually too hard once I fight his final form enough to get the patterns. Doing the castle invasion part now 😌😁
Sweet! Good job Vicky, i had no doubt you'd bring him down in the end 💯🍻
Good luck with the other bosses, keep kickin' ass my friend 👊
3 days later still dealing with this dude
currently gridning the skills lol
btw what is the point of breath of life for this fight?
You dont need the two Breath of Life skills for this fight at all, but they should still be unlocked asap due to their awesome perks.
Good luck man 👊
@@GamerGrade thanks dude this guy has my number but i got all the skills you recommended and trying now
YO I BEAT HIM!!!! CRAZY BRO
just woke up this morning and got all the way to last phase on my first but died to lightning 🤣
You've beaten the toughest stages by far, now its just a matter of time. Good luck! 👊
@@GamerGrade hopefully🤣, i just started playing this game la
at week friday, game is tough lol
Yeah its definitely tough! But i have no doubt you'll enjoy the challenge :) 🍻
I’ve been enjoying the game until this guy. I think your tutorial is the best I seen so far. If yours doesn’t work I’m done.
Dont give up! You will nail it with practice, trust me 👊
Im fighting him literally 10 minutes into the game?
@@StateOfMind63 That is the first encounter with him, which is expected from you to lose. This fight is the second one later in the game.
@@StateOfMind63 Did you get a game genie for Christmas?
How did you succeed? I am really stuck here.its just too hard for me at the final phase
Your guide is nice but first I need to grind to get the double ichimonji & shadow rush. Atm im stucked with this boss 😂
Good idea Gerome, they are skills that will make this fight much easier, as you will find out! Good Luck brother 👊
@@GamerGrade Thanks man! Don't get tired doing this kinds
You're welcome! Ill be rooting for ya 👊
Did you kill him? I am still fighting with him from yesterday and Its making me crazy especially In the final phase. Always late for lightning deflect.
@@GamerGrade i will try your method now.i am stuck here from yesterday
I preparing myself for this dude,lady butterfly took me 4 attempts,but 7 spears kick my ass so hard I almost stop playin the game,after I obtain Ichimonji I finaly beat him,so without double ichimonji I don't go there
Awesome job so far dude! Dont give up and you'll always learn the right tactics to win if you persevere.
Good luck and keep kicking butt 👊
Thank you
Thanks for watching 🙏 good luck with the game!
THX
You're welcome :)
Bro I’m on the verge of crying right now I need some help please! I’ve got all the skills and I struggle still and don’t get me started on the 3rd stage
Keep practicing the strategy in the video bro, its key to success, you will nail it if you keep practicing!
It may take many tries, but each time you will get that little bit better.
Dont give up man 👊
GamerGrade I beat him now using your strategy bro. Thank You so much just needed a little bit of patience. Now I’m on the Guardian Ape🐵
Awesome job man, i knew you'd crack it!
Good luck with the ape, remember, it can take a good few tries.
The key is to never give up, you're improving with each attempt 👊
GamerGrade Your a good UA-camr you deserve more recognition👍
Thanks brother, appreciate it :)
fuckin thanks bro, after watching 20 videos of shadow rush vids, or slash, dodge, slash, dodge repeat vids dying over 100 times in 5 hours or more, wasting over 500 spirit emblems ichimongi was the key! didnt even need to use 1 emblem. i beat it before but new game plus without kuro charm was way harder than 1st game for me. all i had to do was keep jumping and air ichimongi double bonkin his melon lmao thx
You're most welcome bro, congratulations! Glad the video was helpful for you 🍻
Ichimonji is Genichiro's Kryptonite lol
Excuse me can you explain to me how to counter properly with right timing using mikiri block once the kanji character appear? Thanks
Hey Tommaso :) Are you playing on PC, PS4 or XBox?
@@GamerGrade i am playing on xbox.so Please tell me When to counter lightning ? I am really stuck at third phase
you are incredibly accurate and good. But it's really too complicated. If one needs a guide to beat a boss, you can't suggest being able to recognize and react to 4 different unblockable attacks in 4 different ways. If I could do it, I would already beat him without a guide :-)
Yeah Genichiro is one of the tougher more troublesome bosses with increasingly tricky stages, hence the reason the video is complex. However, if you break it down into bite sized chunks, and process in small steps, its not so bad if you take your time and practice.
I wish you luck bro, thanks for the feedback! 👊
How is this a “beginners guide”? What beginner is gonna have all those skills to unlock?
Just go xp farm
bloody hell, gotta grind some levels first
Good luck dude, if you havent already kicked his ass! 👊
It's not like I don't know these things but it more the problem that my brain just goes straight to caveman when I fight him. I don't got got the mental stability for this fight
Its because you havent learned his patterns yet and become confident with knowing when to react with the proper counters in good time. Practice is the only way to fix this. How many times have you tried, and can you reach stage 2 yet?
I can't mikiri counter no matter how hard I try😭
Make sure to practice this at Hanbei The Undying to improve quickly: sekiroshadowsdietwice.wiki.fextralife.com/Hanbei+The+Undying
Finally beat him after practicing mikiri counter and just getting in he's face and learning from these tutorial he was defeated and it was worth all those deaths🙏😊
This b*st*rd of a boss is ruining the game for me
He's way too overpowered for this stage of the game
Yeah It definitely seems that way first several tries but learn the attack patterns step by step and trust me, he will start becoming much easier. Dont give up!
@@GamerGrade I finally beat him today thanks man. Double ichimonji got me through the fight.
Does seem harsh literally 10 minutes into the game to face him.
@@StateOfMind63 yes indeed. Finally managed to finish him and the entire game. Looking back I rate Genichiro the 3rd hardest boss behind Ishin and demon of hatred.
You don't have to face him that early though , you are able to progress alil bit to help get ready for this battle , when I first fought him I had 4 prayer necklace's- vitality 14 ,attack power 3, 7 healing gourds , farmed alil so I also had most skills unlocked and about half of the prosthetic tools pretty much leveled up all the way (well to the 2nd highest they'd go) anyway all that shit adds up an makes a difference
Hey each of his perilous (i hoped i spelled that right) attacks have different kanjis
Is it a different symbol representing the type of unblockable he's about to perform? Never looked for that before, well spotted! 👊
@@GamerGrade i noticed it in ur vid great vid btw but still didnt beat him he kills me last second anyway i will beat him tom cuz am gonna get shadow rush
Yeesss i beat him
Sweet good job bro! Respect 👊
Uh, no? The red kanji all reads "危". What are you taking about?
the last one is hard. i can t dodge the lightning.
Its all down to practicing the timing bro, its tight but you'll nail it if you keep trying.
Good luck man 👊
@@GamerGrade i got it. nailed him. thanks man. felt so good. now i missed the fight.
Awesome job man! I knew you'd nail it :) 🍻
Ur channel is monetized wow
Yeah i think the door to entry to be a UA-cam Partner is minimum 1K subs and 4K hours watch time every 12 months :)
Actually getting monetized is just the beginning lad..after that, the work really starts!
what about his grab move, why did you not mention it
wish you did the final boss of the game
Yeah same, unfortunately i never found the time 😕
Holy crap! NOTHING I DO IS WORKING AGAINST THIS GUY! I can never get the Mikiri Counter in-time! 2 days and about 7 hours in already and still can't even get one life off of this guy! WTH!!!! I think i have to restart playing the game so I can buy the right skills. I spent alot of money on stuff that is irrelevant now. Unless I go and just kill guys the already completed levels to gain the hit points and then buy it.
Keep in mind that Genichiro has three different danger attacks and you'll have to recognize the animation tells that telegraph each one. Only the thrust can be countered by mikiri. Also although you see videos of people deflecting the jump up high slash, I recommend just jumping out of the way.
I jate this stupid fucking boss so much im about to crashout
Ong
"easy"
I'll have another go before i throw the towel in, but this fight is NOT easy!
Dont give up! You'll kick his ass soon 👊
Big Help, For Those Who Feel Stuck You Could Always Progress in The Game Going An Alternate Route & Come Back 🗣
Great tip!
Alternate route?
Só matei depois que fumei um
Thanks for watching!
I've never been able to open the menu during this battle.
Seriously !? Everyone else says you can
Is it only a problem during this battle, or every boss battle?
Was only an issue for this battle oddly enough. Managed to get through it in the end though so all good 😊
Good job!
I think I figured the pausing thing out ,you can't pause the game if your jumping or falling or if your standing to close to an enemy ,against genichiro id just run to the other side and could pause it everytime
Beginners guide, and the video is fucking 17 min long
Just befcause a video is short, doesnt make it any better.
I mean.. this is the point when im just done with this game.. this boss fight is a absolutely impossible to win for me. Is there any realy easy way to win? Because this isnt Easy method at all..
I agree its not easy, as it requires several tries and fails even if you have a guide. Genichiro is one of the tougher bosses.
How many times have you tried so far?
@@GamerGrade so I just died at my 19 try
Are you improving with each try, can you reach stage 3 now?
GamerGrade yeah, i can reach third round with spamming shadowrush, if i have luck of course.. but that last round is just... ah.
@@tomovidlo I get spammed with his bow and can't even get to do the dashing
Oh, so basically you need a shitload of hp and skillpoints to be able to win the fight?
What a joke. Another boss with an "awesome" design lol.
Well the skills are definitely helpful, however, depending on your skill level, i have seen players defeat him with minimal HP and skills.
This game is crap.
