    Journey 8 (NG+7)
    Level 120
    Build/Stats at 7:40
    Bloodborne OST - Gehrman, the First Hunter (in-game version)
    Played on PS5! Gehrman’s grunts are edited in, no mods.
    Using Nyaha's waterfowl dodge technique: • It's possible to flawl...
    This player paved the way for dodging waterfowl without the use of bloodhound step and has found the most consistent technique. Inspiring stuff.

Backsteps are just bad, period. Ofc there are very niche uses such as canceling charged attacks on a very limited set of weapons, but they demand you stop all input on your joystick, only to travel less distance than a roll and have no s doing it. They interfere with normal gameplay far too much and give nothing in return.

      @@SlavaUPA Glad someone else mentioned this. The reason I bought Elden Ring was because I thought it was going to be something new. Turns out it's just a copy and paste of most souls games.
      Which is why I love Bloodborne so much, yes it was still using the same overall formula, but it actually felt unique and new. It had it's own personality.

      @@PEEK-A-BOO101 I've seen other players dodge it the same way that this person did it. It seems that the attack tracks the direction you're moving and locks on to a spot slightly in front of where you're walking, which is probably why you felt like it always tracked you really well. However, once the attack is locked to that position, you're free to turn around and move away, and it won't track you anymore. So as long as you know the timing on when it locks and then walk in the opposite direction, you can easily get out of its range.
      Check out the videos by Ongbal and Let Me Solo Her, they do it pretty much the same way. She readies the attack, they walk a bit in one direction, then change direction right before she starts her descent.

    That was really cool. Thx for sharing that. I love the Gehrman audio yelling and grunting. He is the Monica Seles of hunters.

    That Bloom cinematic with the musical timing. Just beautiful:)

    2:50 - 3:04 is beautiful from an audio visual standpoint. The music and how hopeful it sounds, both illustrates Malenia’s struggle to defend her brother, and Gerhman’s (while still having no hesitation) doubts about all of this. Probably thinking about how pointless the whole fight is, and realizing there is an outer god watching and laughing. Like he could have known her in a past life as a friend, but it’s just how things work. The way the hopeful music cuts off too, gorgeous timing
