I beat Dark Souls Remastered for the first time last week, and I can't stop thinking about the final boss. Was Gwyn supposed to be that easy? I didn't get hit at all. He only got to swing 3 times. I parried and landed the crit 3 times in a row, and that was it. It only took 3 hits. Is that how it's supposed to be?

Fun Fact: Did you know that the thing holding Yamcha back as a martial artist is specifically that, despite expanding his skills and abilities, he refuses to refine his technique?
From the get-go, Yamcha is a surprisingly talented and knowledgeable martial artist. During the Tenkaichi Budokai tournaments, Yamcha is the exposition guy; He knows everybody who is anybody in the martial arts world and provides useful infodumps about the various contenders.
But despite a clear passion for the art, Yamcha has never once made it past the first round.
This is not for lack of ability. Yamcha may not learn as fast as Goku, but he's creative, innovative, and dedicated to his training.
It took him three more years to break out a Kamehameha than it did for Goku.
But that's still 47 years short of the Muten-Roshi's estimate.
Yamcha's fighting style is predicated on hyper-aggression. He believes that the best defense is a strong offense. His signature technique, the Rogafufuken or Wolf Fang Fist, is an unrelenting assault of infinity strikes.
As his talents improved, he would devise a similar technique using a remotely manipulated ki bullet. An attack so ferocious it caught God himself offguard.
And yet. Every single time.
The key problem with Yamcha's style is that his hyper-aggression leaves him open to counterattack. His defense is awful. This is because Yamcha spends his time working on new, more aggro techniques without refining himself in other areas.
He's ferocious. But sloppy. And we know for a fact that he's failing to polish his technique because we've seen his failures to learn.
At the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai, the Muten-Roshi warned Yamcha about his wasting excess movement.
Ferocious as he is, his moves were sloppy and easy to read. He had only intensity and aggression to carry him; He's battle-forged, not honed by discipline and martial technique. As a desert bandit who hadn't yet had a chance to study under a master, Yamcha was more of a wild animal than a martial artist.
After six years of proper martial arts training, Yamcha met God in the first round of the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. At which point God had this to say to him.
Six years later and Yamcha's still having a hard time connecting because he still fights like a wild animal. He's gotten stronger and built up his offense. But he hasn't put in the work for the rest of his technique.
Yamcha's critical weakness is that he always leaves himself open.
A weakness that would ultimately haunt him in the worst way.
Y'know he actually wins that fight? Look at that thing trying to get away. Isn't that precious? Nobody runs from Yamcha; He will run your ass down.
He just.
Can't guard to save his life.
Yamcha.
Yamcha.

Maybe this is the wrong platform to pose this question given the average tumblr user but
Is it just me or did our generation (those of is who are currently 20-30 ish) just not get the opportunity to be young in the 'standard' sense?
Like, everyone I talk to who's over 40 has all their wild stories about their teens and 20s, being young and dumb, and then I talk to my friends and coworkers and classmates, and we just... dont.
