SIFU - 6 tips the game DOES NOT tell you 

If you'll be spoiler consciously covering horizon and Elden Ring best believe I'll keep coming to your videos. Good conversations and good tips. Keep kicking butt.

@@kavemanx420x Oh heavens yes!!! I hate spoilers!!!

@@Stryftek if youtubers just straight up show the ending boss fight near the launch date of Elden ring U bet ur ass im gonna report them!

@Sushan The Shreztha - yeah, that's pretty bad.

total Warhammer 3, lost ark

Thank you so much! It would be nice to be big one day - but for now at least I am having fun :-)

@@Stryftek kept me entertained

@@Stryftek and your brevity is incredibly refreshing, it's just what I needed to convince me not to give up on this run I just failed. I was about to turn it off and come back tomorrow, but now I have to utilize your tips.

Hearty agree. Honest, to the point and playful. Keep it up, man. It’ll happen👏🏼⚡️👌🏼

Yes!! I LOVE grabbing bottles and tossing them before I run into battle - you get that free takedown :-).

@@Stryftek the environmental skill that lets you throw items straight of the ground is great for that. It also gives you way more options for combat - particularly in the club level with all those chairs laying around doing nothing until you unlock it.

@@GManderson I LOVE Environmental Mastery!! I actually put that in my first video :-) (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oxHv-vJpjco.html)

Rolled a 20 stealth check

@@soldierx345 Ooo!

That's what I totally did! Just felt odd not having like a crouch button or something. Some way to sneak.

Ooo! IT would be nice if you could "aim" the throw a little better. There have been a few times the thrown object doesn't hit who I intended it to.

Very nice!! Just takes time.

@Ralphie Channel Permanent ftw!

It's worth just running those bits you can do to unlock a bunch of skills as permanents and practicing before you worry too much about moving on. Chaces are by the time you go for you'll just naturally be better and do better thanks to muscle memory, more skills and just getting into your groove.

Same! I spend a good amount of time on each level to master it. First run Shawn the second boss, I finished him at like age 50 or higher. Now I can at least get out in the lower 30’s. Still the two enemies you fight before Shawn give me some trouble! Pain in my ass.

Yeah, can't farm souls until your over powered.

@@Stryftek can’t really farm too much in sekiro except for skills and items which still require you to be good at the game

5?? I'll have to look harder. I find 3.

@@Stryftek get first two ladies, then go back, go downstairs. Another ladie talking on the phone and last one i know if u run to the right. There's girl standing with her back open. Sorry if it's hard to understand my english :)

@@Stryftek 3 on the platforms, 1 in a room at the entrance, then anyone in the open area

Oh nice to know!!

Inverse Dodge, they line themselves up - then a charged throw into the group? Nice!! Ooo! I hadn't even thought of discussing i-frames!! I always find myself strategically using my take-downs as basically i-frames.

The dodge you are using to do the grab has s at the start of it. So if it's not the grab its that.

I just like using the throw to chuck enemies over ledges and get them out of there quickly. If you're not looking for takedowns to heal it also helps reduce the risk of causing them to hulk out.

Oo, good to know!

Really? I had to hold L1 and forward to jump over the first attack then L1 and back to duck the second.

JrocKnorth yes but theres one where she swings the blades in a circle while walking towards you. Those are high attacks. Avoid the other attacks untill she comes at you with a high atack

I'm stuck on her rn bro and I lost 30-40 lives just against her alone 😭

Get crotch punch for this level. One point in weapon durability. Take knife from the first goon on the level and go straight to the boss. You can easilly kill her by just spamming crotch punch (up+up + x) in both stages.

Gotta start somewhere, right? Thanks so much!! :-)

I'm certainly no pro, lol

Thanka for that!! I might be big one day ;-)

Hey - every little bit counts! Thanks!!!!

Heh - I'm just really good at faking it :-D

Hey thanks man! The RU-vid Algorithm will like me one day :-)

Hey, thanks man!! Maybe I'll be big one day - SIFU has really given me a boost!

@@Stryftek I saw it, it's well deserved dude, best of luck, covering topical titles seems to be really helpful so congrats on your intuition too

"glad too say"?

Glad I could help!

Ah hah! I do see ;-)

Not so stealthy stealthing ;-). It seems like they had thought about doing it, but didn't, so what we get are traces of a possibility.

@@Stryftek There are plenty of places that take noise especially into account. Jump through a window in the Squats, and everyone in earshot is coming running. Stealth and surprise are integral to consistently clearing stages cleanly. You can wipe out half the warehouse before anyone knows you're there, for example. The lack of a "hide behind object" button doesn't take anything away from the stealth mechanics.

@@apostateCourier Not talking about a "hide behind object" button. More of just a crouch or walk button so you can sneak up behind them. Even using a controller and pushing the stuck up so you move as little as possible - they have a radius where they turn around. I found you always have to be running and throw a punch to catch them off guard. It seems like all the groundwork is there, just some minor things that make it feel incomplete.

Incredible game! I loved it!!

So glad I could help!!

Glad I can help!

I can totally see that - it would have to be implemented correctly. Let me crouch and sneak up behind an enemy and take them out - them hitting the ground makes a noise and alerts those nearby or something. It just felt so weird they'd have these unaware people around - but no mechanic to nicely take them out. If you walk up behind them they just turn around and fight you, lol

Thanks!! I appreciate it!

OH hey, I can only hope :-)

Thanks for the tip

@@Stryftek hope to see u grow :) btw is there a way to spot the enemies that come back more powerful? or is it just random... i can't get myself to figure it out lol

@@UjjwalKumarJha-raymando Yeah - I haven't nailed this down. Sometimes they go SSJ on you and other times they don't..... I wish I knew, SSJ ones give more XP and Level Points!!

Thanks for that! How far have you gotten in the game so far?

@@Stryftek I’ve gotten to the staff lady, I’m guessing she’s the final mini boss before Sean “The Fighter” in the “Club” level. Today I completed a No Death run of the first level, I’m trying to get as many points and skills before progressing.

@@iiraiyen Hey! That's what I'm doing right now too! Doing a full video of Stage 1, 6000+ level points, etc. Dang this game is fun.

@@Stryftek I just love beating people up. It’s satisfying when you learn your combos and parry windows, though I mostly avoid. The environmental mastery is so cheating. I find myself just running around spamming bottles at people in the Club.

@iiRaiYen - It helps SO MUCH!! I love it when there are money bags all over and I can use those :-)

I can only cross my fingers!

it is actually told since they are called "permament"

It really has grown on me, but I can see how it might not be for everyone.

:-)

Hey thanks! Watching your playthrough - idk if you need many tips :-).

Havok!!!!!

Thank you!! I can cross my fingers!

Thanks!! And I 100% agree, I HATE it when the video isn't really matching what is being talked about - so I try extra hard to make sure it is a good fit!

That's the dream! Though the boost is largely due to SIFU. We'll see if things can be sustained.

@@Stryftek my opinion is not based upon Sifu, but as mentioned in other comments: your voice, approach and skill on explaining. So called silver tongue. Not all posses that! 10k here we come baby

@@SwedishLatino :-D

I'm so glad I could help!!

Yeah I think I am in that same boat... Game looks so good. and I enjoy the in depth fighting mechanics.

One day I'll have a cool EPIC Creator Code..... until then I always use COHH for CohCarnage (www.twitch.tv/CohhCarnage)

Hey - I'm glad you liked :-). I try my best :-).

20 at Museum!? Very nice!

Glad I could help!

You can take out up to 4 people on the catwalks and the one girl on the ground in that section. You get a trophy if you clean out that area fast so it helps.

Truth

Thanks!!! I hope so.

Thanks a lot!! Got a few more sifu videos in the works ;-)

Already seen some cool John Wick and Daredevil skins!

Hey thanks for stopping by! Maybe I'll be up there one day!

So glad I could help!!!

@@Stryftek Im glad I discovered sifu, since im a kung fu trainee its moves really give me great ideas on how to takedown enemies! too bad I train in kickboxing so I doubt I'll be able to do these cool sifu moves

Awesome! Have a favorite way to down them?

@@Stryftek honestly, I just like to hit them with charged strikes with one handed weapons, as it just trips them.

Yup - these tips are to give you a basis as you learn the game.

@@Stryftek the taunting your enemies and throwing your enemies are still great tips tho. Especially the throwing your enemies one since that is very underrated

Ooo nice!!

Ooo! I'm gunna have to try this!

@@Stryftek when you throw on a table or anything else you can have an instant finisher move it's pretty awesome :))

Ooo! I'll try that!

Its also cool how the taunt changes based on your age :-)

35 isn't bad at all! I wanna say my first run (before I figured out the hold to avoid thing) was in the 40's.

@@Stryftek True eh did you continue to the 2nd mission or would you say it’s best to start over the first one before jumping in?

@@matiasgago I personally like to keep going - sure I know I'm probably going to run out of continues (get to old) - but the new environment is refreshing and I'm not beating my head against the same level. When I finally go back I feel like I've gotten a ton better.

@@Stryftek Amazing appreciate the feedback chief!

Oooo! That would be a great idea!!!

I'd also love to see some multiplayer gameplay! Imagine fighting back to back with another player while surrounded, or even pvp duels!

@@Paulothy Check out Absolver, its Slowclaps first game and basically a martial arts Dark Souls game. There are still people playing it so you might get lucky searching for some PvP.

@@The66Hammer Oh I know about absolver lol. I used to play, but I was never good enough to do pvp. I always got matched up against people with fast relentless combos, couldn't even fight back! I did enjoy the game over all though

Why thank you!

You can carry over a higher age with different perks, it won't save unless you reach a stage at a younger age than before.

I tried to use those... I just dodge.

So the age thing is basically retries. You have AT LEAST 12 retries to beat the game. When your death counter goes down, you are potentially gaining more retries. So lets say you're 60 years and your death counter is 9. On death you go to 69, after that death 79 and then game over. But if you were 60 with a 0 death counter, on death you'd go to 61, then 63, then 66, then 70 -- you've squeaked out a bunch more retries because of the low death counter. So somtimes at a jade dragon it is worth it to use XP to buy that death counters to 0. The skills do get a tad odd too. Only if spend a bunch of XP and unlock them permanently do they stay unlocked always (even starting on level 1). I find myself checking my character profile at the beginning of the run to see what abilities I have active - with so many deaths I sometimes forget what I have and haven't unlocked.

@@Stryftek wow thank you so much for this reply!

Thanks for watching!!

Thanks! I hope it helps!!!

1 million?! 👀 Not sure about that :-)

Huh?

I could see that.

Yup! But you do miss a jade dragon.... so risk reward. Do you want more passive abilities, or do you want to get there at a lower age?

@@Stryftek there’s a jade dragon on the street too.

@@alpacalips4887 Yuppers! So with the short cut you walk out with 2, the full way gets you 3.

How do u unlock the doors?

@@2kay they just open whenever I interact with them

Totally true - I do find myself using take downs as i-frames sometimes. Basically you're surrounded and need to get out, a take-down can totally help with that. I wish our guy could go SSJ.

Hello there!

Interesting.... Hmm...

there is a pattern where he does not step back and you can hit him , fill the focus bar with dodging the rest of time, it's a safe method

Guide video for bosses... Hmmmm.... I like this idea. I could also do it as a playthrough of each level. Meanwhile - Hold To Avoid will make the second boss the easiest thing ever. I explain it in my previous video : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oxHv-vJpjco.html But yeah, for him - EVERYTHING can be avoided by hitting left and right while holding block. Second phase he ads a low sweep attack you need to watch out for - but the WORSTE part about that phase is he starts dash cancelling himself. He just attacks and dashes back before you can retaliate. This is where Focus Regain comes in KEY. Your dodges regain your focus, with focus you can land the Eye Gouge and follow up with attacks!

@@Stryftek I just beat it! I'm an old man of 42 now, after going into the club at 21. Which is basically how i feel before and after going to a club anyway... I could not read the low sweep he does, but the focus regain was key, so I used the focus i got from dodging his other moves to eventually sweep him away. Is there a way to read it, parry it, something? Looking forward to your next vids!

@@demondayzzz The boss from the club was pretty awful. His low sweep comes when he wraps his staff behind his back. If that helps..... I'll have a video on the bosses soon. Working on perfect stage 1 walk through!!

@@Stryftek For the sweep it looks like you can dodge shift forward through it, whereas the other moves are L1 and back. It's a bit counter-intuitive.... His moves still get faster and I can barely avoid half of them. Guess I need more familiarity with the fight.. I'm looking forward to your level guides too - there's a locked door near the boss of the first i'm not sure how to open!

That's gunna be tough. New Horizon Game, Lost Ark, Elden Ring. We'll see!!

Weapon steal?! I need to try this.

@@Stryftek Oh yes! It's so useful!

Ah k - so Hold F, everything goes blue and you have that reticle - then drag the mouse up and to the right, you'll see a line being made from the center of the reticle to where you're moving to, there is a small dot on the outside of the circle, when you get there it'll say the move name - then click!

@@Stryftek that very thing failed me as well until i found a reddit post from a few days ago.. where they said you have to put the preset to custom then back to default if you wish to use focus moves on PC. Weird stuff

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3EB_YnVJf8c.html - quick short on it. Weird about the default thing though.

So glad I could help!

I pick those up in the 2nd and 3rd stages!

That totally works too!!

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Hey! Thanks so much for that!!!

I wish I would have played Absolver! It was on my list and I just never got around to it :-(

Yeah, I was trying to play this like Batman Arkham - doesn't work all that well.

Happy to help :-)

Trial 2? Yeah totally!

Oh yeah! Good point! I love throw people off on Stage 2 on the second trial.

I wasn't aware that we had a railing nearby. I'm curious when that feature was added.

Oh snap!
