Just beat Skyward Sword, my thoughts (and SPOILERS)

Ghirahim's hand stops following you when he stands in front of you. Wait for him to shift his stance - when he plants his feet, that means his hand is slower, and you can hit him easily from the opposite side without him grabbing your sword.

I can sort of understand why some people don't get that, but Ghirahim doesn't actually attack you in that mode, so there's every reason to try to feel him out a bit before flailing at him.

And that's what i did in the first fight, since he had no offensive technique (also Rol's advice where he said you should try going for the jewel on his belt). It was in the Fire Sanctuary fight, where he had those kunai pointed at you all the time, that i was afraid to take the slow approach, and so took the even slower but safe approach

That must have been mind-numbing. No wonder you didn't enjoy them very much.

What's this about his belt?
