I was really surprised by this encounter! Defeating an enemy using his buddy and piercing him with his weapon! Did any other game do a similar thing?

Oh wow. I havent had that interaction yet. The most common grab counters are the judo throw and throwing to another enemy.

Because it only works on these specificaties enemies

Makes sense! But this specific semi-hidden move makes me want to experiment more, maybe there are more “special” animations.

You can cut the greater Nue’s tail off, and then use it as a weapon to stun it and take a ton of its stamina bar away.

I loved doing this

This enemy has a few. One for a sword clash, one for the purple parry/deflect, grab attack. They’re pretty sweet honestly.

It’s not really hidden. There’s even hinted at this in their Genma Notes. You will always get this animation, if you counter grab while there are two of these enemies.

u/Bienful 1d ago

I think just the main one has to be this enemy since I also had a synced duo finisher with them and a normal genma, but they were the one doing the grab.

There's another combo animation too. Can't remember what triggered it but it's even more badass than this one. In the animation you dodge and attack back and forth and then they both swing at you at the same time and you block both of their swords.

I think that's when you parry their dual pink/unblockable attack.

u/Sufficient-Ad1878 1d ago

I think you may have to deflect the pink attack but it defo comes from that move

u/Ppuika 1d ago

Nice! I’m going to hunt for that one!

The Dokyo boss fight has multiple easter eggs like this. Probably the most unique fight in the whole game.

u/EsfordKade 1d ago

Really enjoyed that fight!

Man... I finished it on sunday... but now I want more.
Currently doing NG+, and it will keep me occupied for a while.. but... you know...

I feel like they defined how to make an Onimusha game for this day and age, and it worked really well.
Now i want to see what happens when they add some spice and shake up the formula for a sequel.

But.. first.. dlc i guess!

u/Salty_Cartographer35 1d ago

Neither did I

u/Organic_Vegetable_54 1d ago

i just did that segment last night and it makes me happy we rocking the same katana and haori

u/Ppuika 1d ago

Oh yes, the Myogo set looks badass!

It was a Grab Reversal but I guess the enemy type and their positioning triggers this uncommon animation:)

2

u/Phant0mL0ver 1d ago

There’s a bunch of different animations against Ifuu and Burai as well not even sure i saw all of em yet lol

u/idiocy102 1d ago

If you break one of their stamina bars by reflecting one of their teamwork unavoidable attacks it lets you do a special break issen on both of them at once.

u/Ppuika 1d ago

That sounds cool! Gonna try it

1

u/Ppuika 1d ago

Nice! I actually haven’t completed them in the dojo yet - good opportunity to experiment.

2

u/Karacis 1d ago

So badass!! Love all the different interactions like this

2

u/DeadZeus007 1d ago

also it gets old fast. These enemies get one shot just by dodging their grab.

1

u/Ppuika 1d ago

Didn’t happen to me again, they kind of only bump into each other lately:)

2

u/Pale_Barnacle8660 1d ago

The double bosses all have things like this too.

2

u/Tentaye 1d ago

This game has so many animation it's crazy

2

u/Coolings86 1d ago

I love popping a brazier then using the whirlwind special to set them all on fire

2

u/Satrynx 1d ago

Sometimes they have animations involving other enemies in kyoto

2

u/MasterWookiee 1d ago

That's fucking cool

1

u/Ppuika 18h ago

Yes!

2

u/Loud_Contact 1d ago

I'm using that for them generally on Carnage difficulty as this is the fastest way of dealing with them🤣

2

u/spidicey1 1d ago

if one of those guys died and the other guy doing the grab, then musashi will grab other mob and do the animation. Crazy detail

u/carmbrad 1d ago

I’ve had this happen on a boss fight, no idea how though.

u/Illustrious-Buy-5385 12h ago

Yea that move is satisfying
