The Greatest Boss FromSoftware Ever Designed

Why is Genichiro Ashina the best FromSoftware boss? This Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice combat analysis breaks down how the game's early bosses function as a massive tutorial. We explore why Sekiro's combat is such a massive departure from Dark Souls detailing the specific mechanics taught by enemies like the Chained Ogre, the Shinobi Hunter, and Ashina Seven Spears. After struggling with the usual Soulsborne muscle memory, I gave myself an ultimatum to beat Genichiro. Did I finally understand that "hesitation is defeat"? Join me as I explore how Genichiro acts as the ultimate proficiency exit exam for what is easily the best combat system in gaming.
