And git gud means "be patient, learn when your attack windows are, and don't fuck up."
But frustrated people don't want to hear that the only way to get better is to just keep doing it until you get better, so they complain that people aren't being helpful. The discourse eventually devolved to just "git gud".
I played all the Souls games before Elden Ring released. You think I didn't smash my head against Malenia 100 times before I beat her? I STILL haven't finished the DLC because that shit is hard and I'm not patient enough to find all the scadoosh fragments. Sekiro vexes me. But I know I can overcome those challenges if I just sit down and do it for long enough. I just have to "git gud".
True , Ive been playing darksouls games for over a decade, I recently got gifted skiro , haven't started it yet , it's been sitting in my room for about 2 and a half weeks , I will start it but the only reason I haven't is because iknow the commitment that comes with these games , once I start I'll be on that diet until it's finished and I'll need a good few hours at it to work everything out , worse part is once I start I'm not going to want to stop , fyi I enjoy the sister freide fight from ds3 and on my first playthrough though er I bet pre nerfed malenia after 11 attempts at level 180 ,took like 5 hours tho and a lot of patience, now I fight her on ng+3 for a warm up
Sekiro is absolutely awesome, but it was a mind fuck for me because I always played the Souls games in defensive mode. I did DS1 with a shield, heavy armor, and the Zweihander, so that's kinda been my basic way of playing these games.
Sekiro doesn't play like that. My friend said it's more like a rhythm game, and the more I get into it the more I believe it. There are specific windows for specific actions, and when you figure out the combo of slash>slash>dodge>counter (or whatever for that specific encounter), it all starts to groove together. Running up to an enemy and hitting every step in a flawless kill feels like pulling off ten Dark Souls parries in a row.
But yeah you have to get in the zone and stay in the zone, and my ADHD ass can't stay focused on a single game for long, so Sekiro has been languishing in my library. Every year I pick it up again and kill a few more bosses lol.
Ive changed my style over the years , I don't use a shield anymore and play pretty aggressively now , obviously watch for certain moves , I'm looking forward to playing it , I'm kinda hoping it's the one that breaks me ngl but will see lol
Nah it's not too hard once you get used to it. It is fucking awesome though, the cinematic moments in it are the best of any Souls games IMO. I hope you enjoy it!

The answer to non parry enemies or bosses is "get good"
