This might be legitimately the most difficult thing for me I've ever seen in gaming (thankfully there's an option to remove the timed nature of the mini game but even then it's kinda hard for me lol).

just take a picture and it makes things easier, especially with the timing off
Isn't that right, Zach?

Yeah I cant do those quick sequences anymore.
Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

I actually think they're easier than in Tsushima since they seem to be more patterns in Yotei

No they're easier. There's definitely patterns in the buttons.

The only one that's legitimately difficult is intentionally difficult as part of the story.

The left handed ones were rough.
Never forget where you came from.

Some of the bamboo strikes were trickier than I expected but like, that just meant it took 6 tries instead of 2.

Finished this the other day, I was fine with bamboo strikes. Certain duels however... (on lethal difficulty)

some shit is too hard to parry, lots of the animations and timings seemed wonky to me

The duels have been folding my ass. I'm disappointed that they changed Lethal from GoT. Before it was kill or be killed in an instant, now Atsu dies immediately while she's fighting with a wet noodle
Delicious and vicious, while maliciously nutritious.

Yeah I don't know what they were thinking with changing Lethal.

Especially because there's so many damage sponge enemies and they honestly changed the combat for the worse.

It's because with the blue glint attacks they made it so that you don't parry when you see the glint, you have to parry right before the attack hits you. It just adds a stupid layer of difficulty because there's no consistency on timing with the attacks and some of the enemies honestly move waaaaaaay too fast.

I'm pretty sure most other combat games like this the glint is the visual clue to parry.
