Luke Skywalker: Master Obi-Wan! I have a few questions I wanted to ask.

Obi-Wan: I'm here, Luke, ask me anything.


fbd54e73145082c7b1041d7590b2b5cb.jpg


Luke Skywalker: I've always wondered how you beat all those totally OP guys.


9aa0751cc29c98d486a6fa727784585c.jpg


Obi-Wan: OP Guys?


fbd54e73145082c7b1041d7590b2b5cb.jpg


Luke Skywalker: Y'know, Maul? Grievous? Mustafar Vader? Post Mustafar Vader?


9aa0751cc29c98d486a6fa727784585c.jpg


Obi-Wan: Oh. Those guys.


fbd54e73145082c7b1041d7590b2b5cb.jpg


Luke Skywalker: Yeah, I was always curious how you won those fights.

Obi-Wan: *flashbacks"

Obi-Wan's Flashback:

Obi-Wan: You must learn Perfect Parry.

Obi-Wan: That's how I did it.



fbd54e73145082c7b1041d7590b2b5cb.jpg


Luke Skywalker: Huh? Like Soresu?


9aa0751cc29c98d486a6fa727784585c.jpg


Obi-Wan: No. Soresu is only a guide. You can only learn Perfect Parry by playing Sekiro. If anything, you should play Sekiro first, learn Soresu second.


fbd54e73145082c7b1041d7590b2b5cb.jpg


Luke Skywalker: What's Sekiro? Is it like some sort of weird Jedi Meditation?


9aa0751cc29c98d486a6fa727784585c.jpg


Obi-Wan: No, it's an awesome video game, and I was the best player in the temple eventually. Anakin was a close second.

Obi-Wan: It's about Ninjas and deathblows and killing monsters and stuff, and serving your master. Make a mistake in a sword duel and you die. Not too different from our profession really.


fbd54e73145082c7b1041d7590b2b5cb.jpg


Luke Skywalker: That's your secret? That's how the great Obi-Wan Kenobi survived the Clone Wars, by spamming the deflect button in a video game?


9aa0751cc29c98d486a6fa727784585c.jpg


Obi-Wan: No, Luke, not by spamming the deflect button in a video game.

Obi-Wan: By spamming the deflect button in Life.


fbd54e73145082c7b1041d7590b2b5cb.jpg


Luke Skywalker: What else?


9aa0751cc29c98d486a6fa727784585c.jpg


Obi-Wan: And also by exploiting the game mechanics and level design.

Obi-Wan: Take Maul for example. I wasn't too good at deflecting and Maul had a lot higher posture than Qui-Gon. Up to that point, Maul spammed the Deflect button harder than anyone I had ever seen. He Mikiri Countered my master once he managed to separate us by cheap glitch in the level.

Obi-Wan: In retrospect, I wasn't surprised. Qui-Gon hadn't won a single fight with any of the cool double bladed monks at Senpou Temple, let alone that dude on the horse. I beat the dude on the horse on the first try.

fbd54e73145082c7b1041d7590b2b5cb.jpg


Luke Skywalker: So how did you beat Maul?


9aa0751cc29c98d486a6fa727784585c.jpg


Obi-Wan: He managed to separate me from Qui-Gon with a cheap level glitch, so I thought 'two can play at that game'.

Obi-Wan: So I exploited a cheap level glitch and then I separated him. His A.I. was too slow to figure out what I had done until he was tumbling into the pit.

Obi-Wan: Glowers


fbd54e73145082c7b1041d7590b2b5cb.jpg


Luke Skywalker: What's wrong, Master?


9aa0751cc29c98d486a6fa727784585c.jpg


Obi-Wan: If only I had known I hadn't taken out all of his resurrection points

Obi-Wan: But that's what I learned from that day forward, spam the deflect button and exploit the level design in the cheapest way possible, and do everything you can to turn the A.I. against itself


fbd54e73145082c7b1041d7590b2b5cb.jpg


Luke Skywalker: How come you lost to Dooku the first time out?


9aa0751cc29c98d486a6fa727784585c.jpg


Obi-Wan: Everyone loses to Genichiro the first time. I never beat him in any of my subsequent tries, of course, but Anakin figured out how to bait his A.I. into going for a attack and damaging his posture.

Obi-Wan: I ended up doing the same thing to him at Mustafar. Got him with an Anti-Air Deathblow. He still hadn't beat Demon of Hatred. I had finally beaten Isshin The Sword Saint by pure deflect spamming and running away.


fbd54e73145082c7b1041d7590b2b5cb.jpg


Luke Skywalker: What about Grievous?


9aa0751cc29c98d486a6fa727784585c.jpg


Obi-Wan: Forget Grievous, he just had high posture and bad A.I.

fbd54e73145082c7b1041d7590b2b5cb.jpg


Luke Skywalker: What about those other times you faced Vader?


9aa0751cc29c98d486a6fa727784585c.jpg


Obi-Wan: Those weren't Sekiro Fights, those were Dark Souls. The first one I ended up spamming Sorcery after he made me use up all my flasks. The second time , I just decided to exit the world I had invaded before he could take the last bit of my health bar, just to screw with him.


fbd54e73145082c7b1041d7590b2b5cb.jpg


Luke Skywalker: So my fight with Palpatine was a Souls Boss?


9aa0751cc29c98d486a6fa727784585c.jpg


Obi-Wan: No, that was still a Sekiro boss, you just hadn't gotten the timing down on Lightning Of Tomoe

9aa0751cc29c98d486a6fa727784585c.jpg


Obi-Wan: It was a good thing your father beat his Inner Genichiro at the last moment
