How far are you in Skyward Sword?

Also I never understood Ghirahim's first part. I get that I need to quickly hit him in the area he's not covering, and I did that, but he always grabbed it. I just had to get lucky a lot. Second part is much better. I did OK on the second part after I figured out his patterns but I'd probably destroy him now because I shield bash like almost everything now. I'll wait for the boss rush...

You basically just have to hit the jewel on his belt with horizontal swings. It can easily be done by holding your sword to the top right, so he will move his hand to the spot farthest away from the jewel. Then you move the Wiimote slowly (as in only as fast to not make an attack) into the position where you can make a horizontal swing from left to right to initiate a three hit combo. Works every single time.

It has absolutely nothing to do with quick reflexes, that's the trick to it.

So that's the root of the matter. What i got working was approaching him with my shield up and the sword hanging way out on the right side, sitting there for a couple seconds (since he just doesn't attack), and then attacking, but that makes sense
