ASSET-RIVAL
--Cover art by Anirudh Bhattacharya(@ink.for.oxygen on instagram), follow him- dude's the best.

"Genichiro: The Rival " is the latest release in the "Genichiro-The Last Stand" mod series; it is the most well-developed release so far, with the highest difficulty.


This release has far more combo attacks than any previous release with consistent reacts and punishes- many attacks have extra effects and VFX added in as well!!

Points to be noted:

For Genichiro: The Rival (Phase 1 and 2)-

  • Mikiri countering Genichiro will usually cause him to react aggressively immediately after-
    Continuing offense after a mikiri counter might be unwise.
  • Chasing slice, floating passage and certain other heavy attacks now do chip damage (even with kuro's charm active).
  • The heal punish is fail-safe, try healing only if you are perfectly sure it is safe to do so.
  • Genichiro is wearing armour and has drunk from the waters of rejuvenation, keep this in mind if you think of attempting to cancel him
    out of a combo attack
    -Genichiro will attempt to recover posture if Sekiro dies mid-battle, the only way to stop this would be to resurrect and attack as soon as
    possible- the window is pretty tight.

For Genichiro: The Heretic (Phase 3)-

  • Genichiro is desperate, he will do anything it takes to defeat Sekiro- whether that be abandoning his humanity and developing a weakness to flames, or consuming a sugar which takes away his life and vigour in exchange for additional strength.
  • Genichiro consistently reacts to being mikiri'ed, mantaining an offense immediately after a mikiri counter would be unwise
  • Genichiro has learnt more from Lady Tomoe than you might think.
    -LIGHTNING REVERSAL CHANGES: The lightning of tomoe can no longer be reversed by Sakura dance or simply taking a direct hit while in the air and spamming attack. To reverse lightning, either use mist raven, or jump up and block the lightning attack, then press attack to reverse it. [JUMP->PRESS BLOCK/DEFLECT->PRESS ATTACK]


Patches:

  1. Genichiro no longer performs sudden hyper armoured elbow jabs out of neutral, the elbow jab is now well-choreographed.
  2. Genichiro no longer performs a homing grab, as many players complained that it was breaking the flow of the fight.
  3. Genichiro's posture has been nerfed from 2000 units to 1520 units, on request from majority of the player base
  4. Genichiro's sweeps can now consistently be countered with the jump-kick, and the player will no longer be punished for this. Infact,
    failing to perform a jump kick will cause genichiro to continue attacking, as opposed to him staggering and replanning his attacks on a
    successful jump-kick.
  5. Many combination attacks are more consistent now, especially chained sweep ->bow attack transitions.
  6. Genichiro no longer spams chasing slice, and has more variations to his gap closer attacks
  7. New reactions and cancels have been added since the initial release, be sure to check it out!

A big thank you to all my mods' players and testers, your feedback is super-valuable! Let me know if I missed something, or you'd like a nerf/buff by contacting me on my discord: nikhil.exe#6003

This is probably going to be the last update to my Genichiro Mod series for some time,so I would like a few words before wrapping up:

I'd like to thank my mentor Ionian(Discord name) for teaching me the ropes of modding with sp-interrupts and LUA, helping me setup my modding tools, and motivating and encouraging me throughout the development process. He's developed the Sekiro overhaul "Resurrection" mod, you can download that here
I'd also like to thank the modder Sauce(Discord name) for helping me develop the only-block lightning reversal, answering my doubts on SP-effects and blocktables, dropping interesting modding facts and information every now and then, and being so very encouraging.
Sauce is the genius behind the "For The Sake of Ashina Mod", and you can download that from
here

Further, a discord buddy(Gothos) of mine and I might release a collaborative one-time mod release called "The Warriors of Ashina", which would contain his modded Sword Saint Ishhin, and my modded Genichiro Ashina, so stay tuned.

Now, without further ado-
"Face Me"
"Shinobi, I didn't think I'd see you again
