THREAD: Sekiro is basically a Rhythm game and heres how it uses #animation to set its difficulty. Every attack has set timings like riffs in a song but instead of chords it uses anticipation to tell the player which note to play next and when. Eg. This boss is super intimidating.

One thing I love about #GenshinImpact are the weapon transition animations. These could be so much simpler for what they are and are rarely seen in gameplay but definitely shows the care and detail that was put into it #animation

Did Riot even look at who they were laying off? Literal masters of their craft that have been constantly pushing Riot's creativity for almost a decade. People that have inspired me and countless others for most of our careers. They just said bye bye to that? Madness.

..until you learn that he only has two combos / riffs, and you only need two buttons to beat him. Those being Block (LB) and Jump (A). Every combo has a set timing for each attack and once you get the rhythm it becomes second nature.

His second combo starts the same but often ends early with an unblockable attack. This can be pretty scary at first since these attacks aren't always countered by jumping but once you’ve got the timing it’s just another riff in the song.

Like the previous example, From Software telegraph the attacks by holding big readable anticipation poses before each one. Other games do this too but Soul’s games use it as their primary combat mechanic and hitting a wrong note often means death, especially in #Sekiro

Adam Turnbull

Most attacks are telegraphed by a huge anticipation, in this case he holds it for over a second before striking.This can be applied to every boss and enemy in the game. The primary way Sekiro alters difficulty is by tweaking the amount of attacks and timing for each enemy

This one only requires one button, which is Block (but you should probably attack after it too). It might take a couple of tries to find the timing but its always there and once you have it you won't forget.
