How far are you in Skyward Sword?

Devised my own strategy for the first Ghirahim fight. I figured out that if i leaned towards his non-sword arm (though the way he holds the sword when he runs, it looks like his sword side) and downward-slashed as he came in, i could get him 4 times out of 5, which was enough. The guide recommended shield-bashing, which i simply cannot do...

I guess you mean when he charges you. Yeah took me a while to figure out I could hit him before he started a slash... I generally backflipped out of the way (which has to be timed right or his slash hits you in the head while you are in the air) then jump striked him, but yeah, better if you can get him earlier.

Not sure if shield bashing will work, not tried it for that bit.

Just a question though, why are you using a guide on your first playthrough (or tbh at all)?

I tend to buy them for Zelda games, those being one of 4 franchises i'll buy guides for. The others are 3D Mario, Metroid, and Pokemon

They do help out for the stuff that i would never think of. Like where you have to roll the bomb towards the lava plug to advance: i never would have thought the bomb's blast radius was that big or that i could roll them that far
