I didn't audition last summer when the word went out for content creators.

EDIT: Not that it would have been a sure thing if I did I only have a couple thousand Twitter followers and no active streaming channel.

They did a Twitter post and said "hey content creators who wants to do RGG stuff sign up here". This was before we even knew Ishin was coming out.

I heard rumor Kson is auditioning for a Vtuber substory in Gaiden or 8. I hope she gets it.

Just tried the demo, was pretty dope. Little bit more challenging than I expected, but I blame that on it being my first time playing. Hopefully the full game will have a dodge cancel ability, or maybe a quick style change like in 0 and Kiwami. I don't know if the original game had these. I assume at the very least that there'll be a dodge cancel.

It's Gaiden, and she's auditioning to be a hostess.

As of a few hours ago, she's a finalist.

Bear in mind that's just my impression from trying the demo. I don't know if the original game had it, but quick change needed to be unlocked in 0 and Kiwami so I'm hoping it'll be unlockable in the Ishin remaster as well.

Im still going through 6. Im actually liking it a lot despite always hearing it was subpar. After that Ill give it a quick break then go through Like a Dragon. Then maybe Ill play the new Ishin after that.

I played the original Ishin in late 2021 so it might be a little soon to play the remake anyway. Plus I didnt recognize a lot of the new characters that are now playing Ishin characters due to only playing 0-5 (and original Ishin) at the time I watched the trailer.

The combat is pretty fun though (in the original. I imagine its the same in the remake). I definitely stuck to the single sword style mostly though. The gun and sword style was a little too flashy for me and I preferred classic samurai.

So is Wild Dancer the only style that gets quickstep cancels? And does Ryoma ever get quickstep attacks or quickchanging styles like in 0/Kiwami?

From what I heard about the old version: Sword style sucks. Wild style is the best. Is it like that here?

Wild style is good for crowd control, sword style is "better" for 1v1 because it does high damage per hit, but wild style has quickstep canceling. That's the impression I got so far. Definitely gonna need more practice with this game lol. If anything Brawler style feels like it's the worst so far because it does less damage than the sword.

You know what, nah, Wild Dancer is just straight up better, the mobility it offers is just too good. It's basically the Rush Style of this game.

Okay so for those of you who haven't tried it out yet, you have the option of two scenarios. The first is a "long battle" run through a series of relatively weak encounters. The second is a a single battle against three more powerful foes.

You've got a small choice of equipment, but you can't check your actual combat abilities. Also you have a full stock of Trooper Cards (different in each scenario) to play with. Some of them are the "normal" ones (heal up, attack up, defense up, Heat up) and some are the wacky ones, like the shoot a kamehameha or swing a giant spinning sword.

While you can't change the individual Trooper Cards around, you can switch "Squads". You have a choice of seven, and can slot sets into each of your four styles.

I really want a chance to open up Brawler. It feels a little thin at the moment and it may be early game, but hey I grew up in this series brawling.

Swordsman is Slugger Style. Wide powerful swings. Haven't quite got the hang of the "special" move yet, but it seems like your average iaijutsu.

Gunner is "you stay the fuck away from me" style. Light attack: shoot the gun. Heavy attack: shoot the gun HARDER. There's also the spinny combo follow-ups. The first scenario also sets up some enemy gunman encounters designed for you to shoot back.

Wild Dancer, as Kircheis says, is the early favorite. It's very flowing and has a LOT going for it in both close up and far off attacks.

Tbh I think Wild Dancer is a more effective counter against guns, the quickstep is kinda op. And at least in the demo you're given cover so you can inch closer while they're reloading, and the gunners sometimes get scared when you get up close to them. At least the larger groups of them did. It's also pretty easy to just bully one up close and then quickstep to the next one.

Still trying to get a feel for the parry timing in Wild Dancer and Brawler. Is it just me or does Brawler's parry have a slightly more generous window?

Yeah, I'm not really feeling the combat. Which is disappointing because the initial trailer made it look more fun.

I managed to sneak a little bit in before work. You definitely gotta get used to the combat but once you do, it's pretty fun >_> My only complaint is that Brawler feels so laughably weak compared to the other styles. But all the trooper cards are pretty varied and fun, like shooting a kamehameha, stopping time, summoned swords, having a chicken lay explosive eggs, and doing a dimension cut lol. It's pretty wacky

From what I hear, it's not difficult to exploit the weapon upgrading to your advantage to match pace with the enemies, so it's unfortunate that the demo did it this way, but it's not indicative of the average battle.

Does Brawler get better or will it always suck?

That I don't know. Brawler does get Tiger Drop, though, and apparently that's broken as always.
