There's a few stick/button moves like Down, Up, Triangle. There's also "Focus Attacks" that are done by holding L2 and selecting a node. A lot of moves will also have effects, like knocking an enemy away from you, taking them down to the ground, or stunning them. You can unlock a lot more moves through the skill tree.

@Beaverish Buck Teeth Live service is dogshit. Sorry you never experienced a real video game.

I hated playing through this game at first because I haven't played any fighting games that included brutal difficulty like Sifu. But I kinda screwed myself to the point where I was an old man on the Museum level, and forcing myself to replay it over and over again kinda forced me to get better at it. I ended up restarting, and I got to the Museum level at age 35 instead of 65. Sifu is a game I now have a newfound love and appreciation for. It's one of my favorite games of 2022 so far.

Such a constantly reliable channel. The inclusion of saying the video is ‘spoiler free’ just takes that edge off at the start of the video. So hyped for Sifu

As a contribution to this vid, I think it's very important that the developers actually cared to respect the martial art. I've practiced Kung Fu for the last ten years, and I recognoize each and every move the character and enemies do. Of course, as it is a game, the combat is dramatized. But the techniques are real. Haven't played yet and I already love it!

I love how I can play the exact same level for 2 hours straight and still not be bored; The fighting mechanic is literally awesome and crazy and amazing; What I like about this game is the crazy amount of focus you need, you cant just go about spamming light and heavy attacks thinking its going to do the job, sometime you have to use your focus bar, sometimes you have to use palm strike to disarm your enemies , sometimes you sweep to get that extra ground damage, sometimes you have to dodge or parry ; Its just so amazing. Also, the fact that you replay the same level over and over, makes you think about the moves you should unlock at the skill tree like "oh I'm gonna use Environmental Mastery to beat big guys easier", or "I'm gonna use Ground Parry so that I can always defend myself".

Enemy throws a bottle but his bud steps in the way and the bottle collides with his buds model? Yeah no, that bottle hits his bud instead of you and damages and stuns him. I have never played a game that did so well of tracking movements and making things react realistically. Even games where you wield giant swords that look like they should body 6 guys in one swing will just hit the one guy you targeted even if it passes through 4 others on the way.

Replayability is high, the ability to get better and better happens (IMO) quickly, to the point where I'm working on finishing before age 25 without a ton of hours into the game. I haven't found any kind of fighting like this besides maybe Sekiro, and even there, Sifu has a fast-paced hectic crowd-whipping feel that's completely unique. I can't wait for their next installment!

Buying it regardless… been waiting for a game like this since Jet Li Rise To Honor!

Been loving it so far, one of my favourite games ever was Sekiro and this reminds me of a marital arts version of it (with its own take on it)

This game will be quickly forgotten and people won't buy this crap for not having a difficulty mode. The devs said on launch they won't have it but in the future [Whatever that might be] they will implement it. So buying this game is not worth it personally and for other people who want to enjoy a good campaign without being too difficult. I bet the devs did this to see how many people will buy it and if it's below their expectations they definitely implement it in an update. Also Returnal hasn't a difficulty mode and it was quickly forgotten and they instead put an update having photo mode and suspension mode.

@@MikeTheGreek This point your making is very dumb. You are saying a game needs to have a difficulty option to be successful? Not true at all. Just because you are bad at the game and aren’t willing to put in some effort to get good does not mean it will be quickly forgotten. It’s not a story driven game, but a combat driven game that doesn’t need an easy mode. This game isn’t for you but it will be for a lot of other people. Challenging games like dark souls, sekiro etc are popular for a reason.

I was about to say this looks like a polished Absolver with a twist, given the high skill level combat, then you mentioned Sloclap :D Sloclap does such a good job with combat, glad to have another game to check out.

Thanks, this looks like a really interesting game. From the description it reminded me of Katana Zero a bit.

I hope more hand to hand combat oriented games take much influence from Sifu, Particularly the next Big Batman game. Loved the Arkham series but its button mashing no matter how good it is always gets dull after a while cuz it feels like the game is doing all the work as long as you're dodging. Being able to actually focus on enemies, target body parts & break them, performing fluid hit combo & even defensive combos like you're Neo, would really make u feel like the precise & advanced fighter that Batman really is.

the creators of Sifu based they game off their previous title absolver. which came out in 2017 before sekiro and had posture bar mechanics, parries, and unblockable attacks that needed to be dodged, parried, or jump/ducked. So sekiro copied absolver/sifu not the other way around.

Most fulfilling hand to hand combat in a video game ever.

Yup, every time I feel I am getting bored of gaming or maybe too old for it, a game like this, or something out of FromSoft, comes out and I get that old feeling again

These indie games really are great not just because their prime directive is to make something enjoyable, but because they are also priced a lot more reasonably. It’s shocking how much games cost outside of the US, and $70 USD for some next gen games can come out to double that in other countries. Indie games can get a broader reach and audience and in this day and age we see small teams (sometimes just one person) create games that make the Titans in the industry laughable.

The combat reminds me of Sleeping Dogs, which in it's day had unique combat moves. This looks like keeper if you like fighting games and don't mind grinding to get better.

The idea of obsessing over age while trying to take revenge is kinda cool. It tells a story about a man who spent his entire life training to fight these 6 people. But he never did, he died of old age before over setting out

@1:45 I got Oldboy vibes with the hallway-then they turned the camera to the side of the hallway…they fucking knew. Well played.

Kind of like a sim racer in that you either figure out the right braking + turn-in to a turn or your losing position or in to a wall. Some might say it has the "souls" like grind but that would be a watered down. Played a few hours yesterday and enjoyed my time but also hit a wall pretty quick of what Jake says in you really need to master sections/levels before moving on. The unlock tree could use some massaging just in terms of why is everything so high priced imo. It is those moments of there you clear an area without being touched just to get without-mercy crushed in the very next section. I could use a little more varied enemy interaction its either 2-3 enemies or 7-8 - which is daunting to the say the least. Still trying to get my blocking/dodge down as well as get out of the Club level. Cheers

Challenging combat that tests your reflexes/move knowledge/situational awareness, beautiful animation work, kickass environments to bust your way through, and a simple efficient story that pushes you and the combat forward. The game runs perfect for the most part (frame drops when transitioning to new areas, but quickly fixes itself), and there's incentive for me to replay all the levels and get better and learn more. LOVING the game. Sloclap has delivered for me 👍👊

I’ve been replaying the first two missions to truly master them and unlock new abilities that will help me going forward! Truly a well crafted game despite the difficulty! Ghost of Tsushima made me feel like a samurai, and sifu made me feel like a kung fu master!

I am literally a Sifu, and this is a decent insight to what is constantly replaying in my head, day in and day out.

Its kind like a fighting game mixed with a Dark Souls type mercilessness. You have to master the controls, and they are far more complex than "swing sword" & "dodge roll".....but you have to have the motivation to keep playing the same sections over and over until you do master the controls. It will be far too tedious for most people. Its a very well done game, but its a very specific experience. Im glad to see unique ideas come to fruition, and have such care put into them. Its something we dont see in video games industry enough, these days.....especially with the AAA developers in North America. So, although Sifu is probably a pretty niche game, and not for me -- im delighted to see it out there being received so well.

It’s not really like souls in any way. But it does have elements of Sekiro in it, mainly the rhythm and countering. Also, it’s a common misconception that dark souls games are super “merciless”. Pretty much every game made in the 90s or before was harder than dark souls. Games just got so easy that if you actually die people will compare it to dark souls

I’m already in love with the game I can’t put it down

The way it's all put together, definitely unique. It does share the grind and perfectionism mentality with Furi, though. Definitely reminds me of that game at least. But it goes beyond adding fodder to the boss encounters. Then again, you could argue Furi was even more about perfectionism and pure player skill. No EXP, no upgrades, nothing. If you beat it, increase the difficulty, go again.

Bought this game on 3 different platforms just to support this studio. It's a masterpiece.

Kind of liked it when I started it, got my ass beat a thousand times, started getting annoyed with it, preserved through, enjoying it a bit more now, but man there are some enemies that whoop my ass. Regardless of this game annoying the hell out of me, I've played more than a few hours. When everything flows together and the camera is not being another obstacle to contend with, it's pretty fun and engaging

I've been playing it all night last night, and I ended up getting to the 3rd level, but I found my age too far, so I started redoing the early levels to try and bring my age down more. I can get through the first zone with no deaths and the second zone with 3 to 4 deaths. Honestly it's the last two that get me, the two disciples before the main boss of zone 2. i hate them so much and cannot get passed there without dying a couple of times. The boss itself is easy once you know his attack pattern. dodge dodge dodge dodge attack attack. I used the shrine to put points into the focus regain which fills up the focus bar as you avoid. And then low sweep kick to put in extra posture damage. This game gives me mad Sekiro vibes and Sekiro is one of my favorite games of all time. Games that just test out your reflexes are *finger kiss*

This reminds of the NES Classic Kung Fu. Five levels, they’re always the same, boss are the end of every level that has a new mechanic you need to overcome. Repeat over and over. Very cool.

Initial impression after a few hours: going to be hard but I'm going to platinum it. There's a part of me that loves a good grind and this is going to scratch that itch real good. Can't wait to finish every level at 20.
