Restart the Gaming Era

What's more interesting is that the fonts of these "death" characters are different, and each one is different. At first glance, the stand-alone game areas of major live broadcast platforms look like a copybook, which is impressive.

If you click into a live broadcast room at random, you can see that the anchor is being crazily killed by various mobs and bosses.

Some are stuck in the prologue, some are stuck in the first elite monster, some are stuck in Hirata's mansion, and some are stuck in Akki...

In short, there are many tricks, but overall, the anchors all died peacefully.

In fact, many players had expected this situation.

When "Sekiro" started trial play before, the players who played the trial had roughly figured out where the game's early jamming points were, but seeing the anchors suffering so crazily, the audience still felt extremely gloating. Feeling.

"I'm laughing so hard, it's a large-scale literacy event!"

"Does Xinhuo Studio want to teach everyone how to write the word 'death'? And why is the word 'death' different every time?"

"Indeed, how many fonts have been prepared for the word 'death'?"

"It feels like there are at least dozens of them, it's so crazy!"

"This word "death" seems to be written by Zhong Ming. Is it okay for a real calligrapher to teach you step by step how to write the word "death"?

"How come there is a mysterious joy in watching anchors suffer?"

"There are still anchors who haven't broadcast it yet. It seems, hurry up, we must arrange it!"

The audience instantly became excited. Although they did not play the game themselves, they watched the fun one by one without taking it too seriously. They played "Sekiro" crazily in various live broadcast rooms and let the anchors play.

"Anchor, hurry up and play "Sekiro"! It's so fun!"

"Yes, if "Sekiro" is not broadcast, it will be canceled!"

""Sekiro" +1"

There are some ignorant anchors who don't know how difficult "Sekiro" is, so they downloaded the game in a very ignorant manner, and were immediately tortured to the point of becoming unconscious.

There are also some anchors who want to get away with it, but the audience is crazy about the rhythm, so they can't pretend not to see it, right?

What's more, the live broadcast effect of "Sekiro" is very good, and the anchor does not want to miss this opportunity to gain popularity.

The anchor's food will always die, and the audience will be happy to see the anchor suffer; the anchor will work hard to defeat the boss, and all barrages will be 666; the anchor's skills will make the audience worship him crazily.

If you play other games, you will be very worried that there will be no program effect, but you don’t have to worry about "Sekiro", because the program effect will be there no matter what.

Moreover, during the live broadcast, many high-end players quickly stood out, bringing many players to the Weiguang live broadcast platform.

…

On the Weiguang live broadcast platform, there are already several anchors who have stood out on the page of the "Sekiro" clearance contest.

Nowadays, everyone is basically still playing one game, but some of the anchors have tried it at the Star Tour Carnival, and their talents are also good, and they can get started faster than other players.

But even so, no anchor has yet been able to try the four-ending speedrun in the second part of the competition and the damage-free boss in the third part of the competition. Everyone is still trying to clear one round.

Complete the game for a week first, figure out the optimal way to play each boss, and find some key props before you can consider speedrunning.

Therefore, just search according to the progress of the players and you can filter out the players who are currently progressing the fastest.

The live broadcast room of an anchor named "Six Wings" has gathered millions of views, and various gifts float from time to time.

The reason is very simple, because "Sekiro" has not been released for long, and he is the player with the fastest progress in clearing the level in the entire Shimmer Live and even on all live broadcast platforms, and has already beaten Genichiro Ashina.

Of course, the game "Sekiro" has many clearance routes. There is no fixed route for which boss to fight first and which boss to fight later, but there are still difficulty levels for different bosses.

Although Genichiro Ashina is nicknamed "Ninja Chip" by players, he is still very difficult when he first meets him.

Unlike anchors on other live broadcast platforms, this player called "Six Wings" does not turn on the camera, rarely thanks for gifts, and probably doesn't watch the barrage much. He just plays the game seriously and occasionally speaks a sentence or two to explain. The idea just now.

However, the audience was not angry at all. Instead, they were all encouraging.

Occasionally, new viewers will come in, and old viewers will explain to them.

"The anchor is so quiet, why aren't you talking?"

"Shh, don't disturb the anchor, just watch quietly."

"The anchor is playing the game seriously. This boss is a bit difficult, so we can just watch silently."

"This boss is really powerful. When I fought against Red Ghost and Qiben Gun before, the anchor passed quickly. Only this boss is more difficult."

"But it's coming soon. Now it has stabilized for a period of time. There is hope this time!"

"Everyone, please go to other platforms to promote it. This is a real technical anchor!"

Obviously, for anchors, having skills means they can do whatever they want. There are many cloud players gathered in the live broadcast room. Although the anchor does not like to talk or interact with the barrage, the audience is willing to give gifts and even help promote it as long as they see the technology.

On the screen, the wolf and Genichiro Ashina were showing off their moves, the sounds of weapons clashing constantly sounded, and sparks flew everywhere.

"Ninja, I never thought we would see each other again..."

Before Genichiro finished speaking, he quickly rushed forward, took the long bow from behind and shot an arrow!

The wolf raised his hand to deflect the arrow, while Genichiro quickly rolled forward and raised his long knife.

The wolf moved away again, and the two long knives collided, creating a large ball of sparks.

The sound of "ding-dong" weapons clashing can be heard endlessly. On both sides, you move and I move, fighting hand-to-hand!

After a short period of energy accumulation, Ashina Genichiro started a crazy series of slashes. After blocking twice, the wolf dodged backwards, and then made a thrust after the last slash, but was still blocked.

Ashina Genichiro suddenly jumped high and made a downward slash, but was instantly blocked by the wolf. The subsequent thrust was seen through, and his posture gauge increased a lot.

On the screen, sparks are flying!

The audience was also watching attentively, and all kinds of barrages were cheering the anchor.

"Come on!"

"Wow, the anchor is so powerful!"

"The fight is so entertaining to watch, this is a master!"

"Crazy attack? Why does this posture gauge increase so fast!"

"It looks very simple. What's so difficult about this game?"

"Haha, you will know after you fight this boss yourself."

"You see all the operations of the anchor, every attack and parry, if you make one mistake, at least one-third of the blood will be gone in an instant. You are just talking here, and you really think it is simple."

Although there are some cloud players who don't know anything and still like to mess around, most people know how difficult it is for anchors to be like this.

This is what makes "Sekiro" different from "Dark Souls" and "Bloodborne", that is, it encourages more offense and is more enjoyable to watch!

The setting of the stance gauge in "Sekiro" is actually a double-edged sword. For some masters, a perfect parry while attacking can quickly fill up the stance gauge for execution. Even if the boss still has a lot of health, he can kill it directly. Killing greatly speeds up the game process; but for many novice players, the setting of the stance slot may also make the boss battle a long ordeal.

In Dark Souls and Bloodborne, when fighting the boss, you just need to carefully avoid the skills and then grind the blood with one knife, but in "Sekiro" this is not possible at all. Because the posture gauge of many bosses, especially humanoid bosses, increases quickly but also decreases quickly, and the attack range of these bosses is very large.

If players want to fight in a cowardly way, trying to avoid the boss's skills and then find an opening to touch and run away, the ending will often be very tragic. Because the boss's attack range is very large, if you can't dodge it, you may be swept away, and the attack will be parried. The boss will not lose health at all, and the posture gauge will be cleared quickly. The difficulty for players to defeat the boss is too high.

Therefore, except for some large bosses, the best strategy for players to fight against humanoid bosses and elite monsters is to rush forward and fight with swords.

While attacking, if you perfectly parry all the opponent's attacks, you can quickly fill up your stance gauge and execute.

But in this way, the risks of the game are also multiplied. Every parry by the players is equivalent to taking a risk, and failure means losing a lot of life points. This further widens the gap between masters and ordinary players in "Sekiro".

While many ordinary players are tortured to death by the boss and cannot defeat it with all their methods, many big players can already use their initial attributes to kill the boss without taking any damage, and they can do so very quickly!

It is precisely because of this that the anchor called "Six Wings" has conquered so many viewers with his skills.

Soon, Genichiro Ashina in the second stage was also killed.

Just when all kinds of 6666 and gifts were flooding the screen, after a cutscene, Ashina Genichiro unexpectedly came back to life again!

This time, Genichiro Ashina took off all his armor and was able to control thunder and lightning. He added a long-distance thrust to his moves, making him more offensive!

The barrage audience was all stunned, what a fucking surprise!

Two lives are not enough, there is a third stage? ?

But the anchor Liuyi didn't panic, didn't say a word, but carefully avoided Ashina Genichiro's attack.

This was his first time reaching the third stage, and he didn't have much medicine left, but he didn't panic at all, but patiently observed Genichiro's movements.

The system has already prompted that there is a move called "Thunder Return", which can be specially used to restrain Ashina Genichiro in the third stage.

Finally, Genichiro jumped up high, and the long knife in his hand instantly attracted thunder, and struck the wolf headlong!

The wolf also jumped high at the same time, withstood the thunder with his body, and then waved with his backhand!

The thunder gathered on the long knife in Wolf Wolf's hand, and then hit Genichiro Ashina!

Genichiro lost a large amount of his health, and his whole body was paralyzed by the electricity, unable to move. Liuyi saw the opportunity and rushed forward with two swords.

In the end, Liuyi's health was reduced to the last bit, and Genichiro's posture gauge was finally filled. The wolf clenched the long knife in his hand and stabbed deeply into Genichiro's chest!

The last sign of killing forbearance appeared, and the wolf swung the knife forward. Genichiro tried his best to parry, but the moment the two people separated, the wolf suddenly turned around, and the long knife penetrated Genichiro's chest and came out from the back. !

"Ugh..."

"Wei... name..."

Genichiro murmured the name of Ash that was in his heart, and fell to the ground slumped.

Two big words appeared on the screen: [Endure Kill]!

At this time, thunder sounded in the sky, and in the falling snowflakes, the wolf's figure looked strong and lonely.

Liuyi let out a long breath: "Phew, it's finally over!"

The barrage has been filled with all kinds of 666s, and the final scene of the killing is really exciting!

All execution actions in "Sekiro" are also carefully designed, and combined with the game's combat system, the viewing experience of the battle is greatly enhanced.

In fact, this kind of execution action is somewhat similar to the QTE system in many games. All actions are pre-set for performance effects. However, because Sekiro has so many combat actions, the final execution action will not feel abrupt at all. , but pushed the players' emotions to a climax.

“The fighting scenes in this game are really exciting!”

"Watching masters fight is simply a joy!"

"It feels a bit like a martial arts movie, with every move and a close fight!"

"Both the visual effects and the sound effects are so cool. Isn't the combat system so cool?"

"The final execution scene is really cool. Is this a ninja battle?"

"Isn't the anchor too calm? Seeing that the boss still has three stages to go without saying a word, how calm he is, I'm going crazy!"

After defeating Genichiro Ashina, the popularity of Liuyi's live broadcast room increased again. This little anchor, who was just an ordinary player, became popular in one day!

…

At the same time, there are countless players and streamers who are also suffering in the world of "Sekiro".

It’s not just players in China. “Sekiro” was released simultaneously around the world, and foreign players are also feeling the unique charm of this game.

From being confused and suffering at the beginning, to slowly understanding how the game is played, and then starting to enjoy the battles in the game, the secrets of "Sekiro" are constantly being discovered.

The unique bosses in the game have also triggered heated discussions among players.

The boss battle design of "Sekiro" is very sophisticated. Although different bosses have different fighting styles and numerical values, and the players' routes are also different, overall, the bosses here maintain a good gradient.

Heyuantian Naomori is the most basic elite monster with relatively simple moves, but there are still many novice players who die here again and again. After defeating this boss, you basically learned how to parry and avoid lower attacks by jumping, and also learned how to steal a tube of blood through assassination before starting the fight.

Red Ghost is a boss who is good at throwing skills. Players must learn not to be greedy for swords here, and they can use a fire blower to restrain them.

The Oniform Club can be solved with firecrackers. Enshin Mishanin teaches players how to use See Through. The Phantom Butterfly teaches players how to take steps. Although the Fire Bull has only one tube of blood, its difficulty is not at all compared to the elites with two tubes of blood. Strange to be low...

Moreover, these bosses are just the beginning. In the middle and late stages of the game, the designs of various boss battles are as unconstrained as they are unconstrained, giving players the ultimate challenge while suffering.

The armored warrior who needs to be kicked off the cliff, the four monkeys who need to fight wits and courage to catch, the oppressive broken monk, the lion ape who fights head-on, the ghost of resentment...

Some of these boss battles require players to repeatedly bounce back, some require players to constantly dodge to gain blood, and some require a combination of interactive elements in the nearby terrain to achieve the kill.

At the end of the game, there are extremely perverted bosses such as Zhen Yifu and Ashina Isshin in his prime, enough to keep many players dead for several days.

Many action games often set the difficulty level very low to cater for novices. As a result, many players play the lowest difficulty level and watch the plot once, and then stop at it. They neither appreciate the exquisiteness of the boss battle design nor improve their skills.

But in "Sekiro", this is not the case at all.

While suffering, it is also the process of enjoying the boss battle. This is the biggest difference between the game "Sekiro" and other games.
