I wish to beat genichiro today,did one try on him last week before i went exploring other areas.

I cleared senpai temple till the main hall idol with all those priest and the big golden statue and defeated both centipede thingies, also got down to the gun fort until i got stuck on a locked door so yeah now i really need to face geni since i stalled that long enough. By the look of it he does not give much room to think and almost asks for instinctive reaction and lots of deflecting while staying in his face so i best not try to attack him too much and focus on getting his posture down unlike Lady butterfly that had more room to attack her inbetween.

Oh yes i will finish this game,just taking my damn sweet time :p

Edit: Yes brain and reaction speed while trying to focus and not letting panic take over are key to this game.

He was medium difficulty, but only because he was an upgraded Genchiro, and only because I had fought old Isshin before to get the Shura ending. There are sooooooo many opportunities to just dodge his attacks in phase 1 and cut him up from the back. When he does the slow three swing combo, you can dodge on the last swing. When he does his sweep attack you can dodge all the way around that. When he does double ichimonji you can dodge that too. His phase 2 was the hardest, because that spear has serious range, and his mortal draw attacks are almost impossible to predict whether or not they are sweeps or uppercuts. His phase 3 just needs you to catch lightning, and miriki counter his delayed stab attack. 

Hardest boss in the game for me was Corrupted Monk the first time around. She blocks literally everything unless you get behind her, and her freaking mix up is insane. Her jumping downward slash looks identical to her jumping sweep. Honestly, without 5 confetti, and a chip damage approach, I don't see how anyone could beat her on the first try. 

Did give Genichiro about 6 tries and i was so wrong about the deflecting,he almost forces you to play offensive while leaving little room for errors.
Needed to relearn how i played the game to make some progression on him.

I beat the Owl part 2 today. That fight was BS, because of the awful camera. I had to learn to back off form time to time, just so the camera wouldn't get caught on a pillar or a wall. Owl part 2's moveset is completely different than his original. He's very beatable though. None of the bosses I've encountered seemed to be busted. Just hard. And I just barely got my vitality to max. I was fighting in most of new game+ with two prayer bead necklaces missing, and I still managed to beat all the bosses. When I fought the Owl part 2 I was still missing 1 Prayer bead.

Oh, and this game wrecks controllers. My PS4's R1 button is sticking every once in a while now. It might just be sweat getting in between the controller, but PS4 controllers are a bitch to take apart and put back together again. That ribbon cable is borderline impossible to get back in. 

Just started NG+ 4. Isshin Ashina can almost one shot me with certain moves now. Gonna make it to the Owl, choose to abandon Kuro and beat the final two bosses for my second to last trophy. After that I'll be grinding away about 28 skill points.

Platinum Achieved! The grind for the final 9 skill points was real. Had to go all the way to NG+4 and then farm the Ashina Outskirts soldiers.

As a self-proclaimed Souls veteran, I hate that it's taken me this long to get to Isshin, but fatherhood has really killed my gaming time.

Anyways, I'm not finding this boss as hopeless as many internet ragers have lead me to believe.  Yes, it's hard, but after about 10 tries, I did get to his final phase.  And I can almost always get to phase 3 without using a gourd, often barely getting hit.  My guess is I'll be able to put this guy to rest tonight and then work on the Demon of Hatred.  I also missed the opportunity for the Owl 2 fight, so I'll have to take care of that in NG+ and then work on the remaining endings in NG++ and NG+++.

Holy hell, though.  Super fun game. Was kind of hoping they'd announce a Sekiro DLC at Microsoft's conference yesterday.  But oh well.

Went from this game to another playthrough of dark souls 2 and has been a walk in the park,everything is easy and relaxing compared to Sekiro;)

So I'm on NG+ now. Demon of Hatred was...not difficult at all. In comparison to Isshin, I'd say he was a little on the easy side? It's just a bit of a long battle. Anyways, I didn't get the Owl 2 fight, so I'll be doing that this time, and then NG++ will be for the Emma/Isshin fight ending.

Not yet. Bloodstained came out so Sekiro is on the back burner for now.
