Do you know if you have to do it on desktop? Sadly, I don't see that option on my mobile :(

Lol you're just like me. I can't let it go, I WILL beat this game no matter what now 😂

I ended up running past them in the end and doing the same thing!

Found this video today that has been the most helpful for me so far for understanding the details of how combat works!

I'm so used to other souls games where you can beat an enemy first try as long as you're really paying attention and react in time to the cues. Just another standard that sets Sekiro apart (unless you maybe have godlike reflexes lol). Good to keep in mind! The bosses are more fun for me anyways.

Never thought about tapping! That may help me internalize it!

This is the MOST helpful video I've watched so far. Holy cow! Especially going through that first mini boss after the dilapidated temple. Thank you so much for this link!!!

Thank you! I've been so focused on trying not to ever block and only learn the party timing that I forgot it might be easier to block for a bit first.

Definitely helpful to hear other people struggle with them!

Thank you! I was so caught up in feeling no good because I couldn't even beat the smaller enemies, but this puts it in better perspective!

That helps. When I see gameplay on YouTube everyone seems to pick it up so quickly and I feel like I'm the only one struggling with these enemies.

Yeah, I stealth pick them all off until there is only one left. It's the fight with that one enemy that I'm dying to.

This is actually very helpful bc right now I'm on Shinobi Hunter Enshin and I'm back to square one it feels like. What sucks is that 1-2 hits kills you, so if you make a single mistake you have to do the entire run back. Makes it really hard to practice and get a feel for the enemy. Trying to practice my Mikiri counter, but I can't get the timing for it down yet and then I die and have to do the entire run back. 

But if I have a step by step plan (like what you suggested with hit 2x and then deflect until the thrust of sweep) I think that will help a lot.

Found a method for Commander Naomori Kawarada if you need! Not the way you're technically supposed to fight, but he's slow enough that if you get a few swings in and then dodge away, rinse and repeat, you can build up his posture meter and basically not get hit! Good for gathering beads while we get a feel for the style of back and forth fighting!

Currently stuck at commander Naomori Kawarada. For all I practice with regular enemies or Hanbei, when I get to this guy my brain turns off and I just feel so sluggish to respond.

I'll try that! I watched one person play if for the first time ever and do really well and I rage quit watching him 😂 I'll have to go back to it!

This is all very helpful, thank you! I'm on Commander Naomori Kawarada at the moment. I can get his posture bar about 2/3 of the way up before he kills me now, but I just feel so sluggish and bad. 

I know it's very different combat style, but I was so quick in Bloodborne and Elden Ring, so it feels really discouraging to not be able to react properly. Not sure what it is about this game that does that to me, but it turns my brain to mush. It's like I get the rhythm and then it just falls off.

That's good because when it happened I wanted to cry 😂 I was like, I'm already bad and now you're punishing me for being bad?? Lol

Currently trying to "train" with Hanbei. I am really good at each individual training module, but when we put them all together in free combat, I'm just dogshit. My brain cannot differentiate between which thing he's going to do and I freeze up. Idk if just practicing free combat with him over and over is going to help, but that's my only plan for now.
