Help with Samurai Parry

[Legato Bluesummers]

Samurai guy goes into his Poetic Blade and you get a parry sequence. I have tried this probably 30 times in a row in the training room. I simply cannot get anything except a 'good' on the 2nd to last parry. I know I'm doing it right, no other parry has failed me, it's always the same beat that's a good. I've tried it faster and slower, it will not pop. I can ignore every hit except that one and still only get a 'good' on it. Is it broken?

[Legato Bluesummers]

I think my game is bugged or something is going on because the achievement for parrying all the non-bosses is not popping despite save scumming through track 10 and making sure I did all of them 2 times and even before I did this I was pretty sure I had done them all except Samurai and Flame guy. Both of which appear completely broken to me as they are not the right timing. I'm getting ~95% perfect timing on average through the stages, no other parries cause me any issues but those two. despite all of that I did manage to figure out the timings which are not correct, they are slightly off on one of the beats (either faster or slower). I've read that a lot of people are having trouble with getting this achievement.

also, I forgot to mention that setting frame rate to Auto and essentially uncapping it makes it way, way easier to hit the correct timing on every parry segment including Samurai and Flame guy.

Iirc that attack is SLIGHTLY off beat. It's a bit of awkward timing for it.

it is definitely the achievement being buggy. because i got it by doing a new game file and parried every non boss in track 10 and it showed up. a tip i did against non bosses in their rhythm phases is by counting them like "1,2,3,1,2".. what always hit me from the samurai dude is his low attack during the rhythm phase. other than that everything started to fall into place and i started getting perfects against them..

keep on practicing my dude. it's bound to happen where everything falls into place.. and youll be getting perfects

Yes, many of the advanced patterns are off beat and utilizing tuplets.

This causes many people to say it's "out of sync" when in reality it's just a complex rhythm.

So you were mad and googled something like "Hi-Fi Rush samurai parry is bullsh!t" and ended up here, necroing this thread.

Nothing wrong with the mechanic. It's one of the best in the game, imo, so it's not just hammering quarter notes.

For the record, this was a bug that was later patched. I went into the training area early in the game to practice against the samurai and it locked me out of the achievement. I ended up doing it probably 15 times in a row during the last level but it never popped.

tf r u assuming i wonder you searched and defending game on those threads plus you dont even own the game just meat riding devs here i suppose

I'm assuming because this thread is more than a year old, and no one had posted since then. Then you randomly arrive one day. My assumption is therefore 100% correct.

And yeah, no sh!t I don't own the game on Steam. I played it on Game Pass on Xbox.

The mechanic is fine. Just git gud, noob.

this was the top most discussion for me on parry idiot thats why i came here. IMAGINE OWNING game at different platform and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on other different platform how about you mind your own business there? ofc iam gonna be on steam discussion i own game here. the mechanic aint fine the game doesn't read inputs in time and it is filler difficulty keep coping.

Coping? I'm not the one resurrecting ancient threads just to complain about skill issues.

That mechanic is in no way "filler difficulty." It's a genius mechanic because it allows the devs to introduce more complex rhythms (triples, etc) in this rhythm game. Those rhythms wouldn't work in the normal DMC-like gameplay loop because it would overload your brain. Just because you're trash at the game and can't handle it doesn't take anything away from the design.

What you're doing is being salty and "blaming it on the lag" as an excuse to feel better about yourself. It's ego protection. So it's amazingly ironic that you're talking to me about coping when what you're doing is in a literal sense coping with ego damage.

Did the parry successfully, ffs listen to people you degenerate. turns out it was input lag or delay now i can do those easily how about you give tips instead of trashing someone on internet i was literally frustrated and yes i did call it filler difficulty if my input aint reading in time and everything is right on my side ( i thought input delay was intended by devs) then i would definitely will call it filler difficulty because other games i play have no input delay or lag, this game has a bug even people in forums are mentioning it, now the game works fine

Yeah, sure, you played the game normally, without problems, until you got to this point where they introduced this enemy and mechanic. Then suddenly there's input delay here and *only* here. Seems very legit. It's like when people start complaining about lag and poor balance the moment they start losing. Until then the game is fine.

Why would I listen to people who are known to make excuses to protect their egos?

There are no tips to give. Either you do the rhythm right or wrong. Complaining on the forums about "filler difficulty" regarding one of the most interesting mechanics that truly leverages the rhythm aspect is stupidity when the problem is a lack of skill.

this game has a bug even people in forums are mentioning it

A bug that clearly not everyone or even close to a majority was suffering from and what was fixed a year ago or more. You're clearly referring to the guy above who said this bug, whatever it was, was fixed.

no one here protecting any of their ego lmfao, you might be the one complaining after loosing or has tiny little fragile heart if anyone criticize, i was frustrated. you made this scenario with your own fat ass from your own ♥♥♥♥ brain about ego. i never said i was good at this game i just said this is filler difficulty which i thought it was having input delay intentionally, thats why i was pissed off.

its still not fixed ? and by majority you mean 7.5% people who finished the game? out of 2-3 million people? huh?

and keep yapping about saying people have egos for video game since your whole life is spent on internet and you judge by the basis of it and always comes to similar conclusion instead of thinking normally, some people are here to have fun if they aint having it which they paid for will complaint.. plus i aint the one who goes to other forum and yap about it, i own game here and yes i would do discussion here you own somewhere else and trash talk people here, irony about 'ego'.

and yes i do took back about filler difficulty but you and your own ass face scenario you made about fragile ego cannot be fixed.
