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.
The best way to describe the age thing is there's two runs "current run" which is you going through normally and staying the age you are and "best run" and that depends on how you did the level before
@@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.
Throwing your weapons is especially effective when the enemy is unaware of your presence. They will always get opened up for a takedown when you hit them
@@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.
I'm actually getting good at the game. Still have yet to complete mission 2 😂 but I've improved massively and it feels so good especially when you get into a room which normally would take me 3 lives now I do without dying
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.
Thanks for the tips, I underestimated this game. The game is actually hard especially when you're cornered, even my brother who finished some challenging game like dark soul, bloodborne, sekiro and nioh. kinda had a hard time on sifu.
One trick i discovered by accident is when you throw your weapon and the enemy dodges it sometimes they’ll be tricked into running back for it and picking it up which gives you a good few seconds to run up and get in a few hits as they go for the weapon, which can be really helpful for that last chunk of health
Instant SUB my maaan, this is by far my fav channel for sifu, I love your delivery too, glad too say I was there when this channel was still hidden once you got the big numbers! Keep it up man!
Great tips. A note on the throws - I've been experimenting with the Inverse throw as its positioning is so useful in a pinch. Enemies tend to crowd around you and a well timed Inverse puts you on the outside of the crowd instantly, and an attack with pushback can then disrupt that crowd you just lined up. More interestingly, the Inverse throw feels like it has some I frames attached to it. I'm not sure if this is just the game's hitboxes being a tad janky (they're usually excellent in my experience) or it's intentional, but I swear I've dodged some attacks that landed JUST as my character grabs and swaps with the enemy I am dodging into. Still tinkering with this.
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.
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.
@@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 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
You got a sub out of me. Good work my dude. You have a good presentation voice and you avoid just using general gameplay video and instead use actual video examples of what you are talking about. Keep it up!!!!
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!
These videos are great! I'm stuck on the second phase of the club boss - he has this up to down slam that gets me every time, and the dodging doesn't work as well... Would love guide vids for the bosses!
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 : ruclips.net/video/oxHv-vJpjco/видео.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!
@@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.
you're doing a great job for a small channel, mate. one tip though: have your visuals show whatever you're talking about, rather than mostly random gameplay... like u said "use this against the first boss" then if u had footage of using that against the first boss that would be great PS: im noticing u did do this in a lot of places, so it's def more of an advise to keep doing it everywhere - viewers will notice
@@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!!
Instant takedown means it technically does have a nascent stealth kernel. Good catch. I love games that let you pry a little bit out. Bionic Commando (2009) didn’t have stealth and neither does Just Cause but both games featured heavy, ubiquitous use of a grappling hook launcher. Loud stealth? Platform stealth? Arcade style stealth? The shit is tight!
You can cheese the third boss by waiting until she does the walk toward you while swinging vertically move. Dodge it by holding L1 and spamming down. That will not only boost tf out of your focus it will also give you a open to attack.
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
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.
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.
You are by far the best RUclipsr covering tips and tricks for Sifu. The first video alone made the game so much enjoyable and badass to play. Definitely deserve more subscribers. Great stuff bro.
@@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.
@@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.
Seems you've gained a good amount of subs by the look of the comments below, you've got my sub also now. Keep them video tips coming and by the way the reset thing with shrine progression for The Club at 21 is because it saves only the youngest age for that level progression..so if you were to play the first level again without aging, The Club level would save it as 20 with whatever shrine progression you've unlocked. I'm currently at The Museum at age 20 though I kept replaying The Club until I got through it without aging lol.
a few tipps, correct me. Almost always you can do bottom dodge, you should remember combos where to do high- dodge against low hits. then hit slowed enemy, also you ma block and dodge in the middle of your action, instantly finishing it. For train, you should intentionally stand in the middle of the group of foes and practice dodging :D I m not sure if all hits are counterhit- possible, maybe someone knows that?
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.
I don't know if it's a tip or something I've realized but whenever you parry an attack and counter attack. The counter attack doesn't count as an input towards your base strings. For example, I counter someones hook and press quick strike and get the double punch counter attack, and then try to do quick strike + sharp strike because before I thought it would perform the quick strike (x2) + sharp strike combo but it does something different.
Actually you missed a throw method, the best one : immediately after a dodge ( when the time slows down ) you hit 1 time : result is the ennemi is stunned and you have an opening for a throw using X+A , it's a game changer you can throw on any direction ;) and .... works on bosses ... so best combination with skills witch give a combo with throw
@@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.
In the ene you forgot to mention that it only counts age towards your best run and not shrines, so if you have an age 20 Squats run and took the short path or missed a shrine you’ll have to delete your save… If you redo the level and pick different upgrades they’ll just revert the next time you either give up or lose, I would have loved to know this before investing 3 hours into the game. Good vid tho
Maaan, the other day I was the 647 sub, now we are 1k. I was gonna write to you that day but been busy since, but let me tell you this sir, I see this channel grow immensely fast. Watch us reach 10k soon. And after that to 100k. Cheers
@@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
Any stage you start from after a game over will play at your best (youngest) clear with whatever perks you took on that run, so the only way to overwrite that is to do better.
ugh the save feature kinda sucks, I did first level at 20 then finished club at 23, then re did first level because I had missed some shrines, but everytime I continue to the club it resets my character aspects.. shit sucks it's like I have to beat the first 2 stages in one run
If an enemy has a weapon you can parry their attack and hit circle or b at the same time and you will take their weapon. At least I think it's circle or b, I have done it by accident a couple of times but I know for a fact you can do it. Also be careful with enraged enemies, usually the ones with head bands or uses flips and kicks can catch weapons you throw at them like nothing and use it against you (only noticed they do it while they are enraged otherwise if not they just take the hit if you throw it). They only enrage when you try to perform a takedown on them. I like to avoid doing takedowns on them unless I absolutely need more health
On a side note in the first mission there’s a major shortcut which lets you skip %70 of the level. When entering the first building you are supposed to head up the stairs which lead you to the hallway fight. However if you immediately go left there’s a pair of glass double doors you can unlock and head back out onto the street,which takes you to the factory with a few enemies here and there
I hope Sifu adds an endless survival mode similar to Batman Arkham Series!!!! That was the best and with this combat system that would be beyond addictive
@@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
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
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.
I found you can't use combos that need directions while holding to avoid. So you'll need to let go of space and then input it. You can practice on the training dummy at base!!
The only question that remains is how on earth do you do focus moves on PC? I am supposed to select them SOMEHOW when the bar is full, and the prompt says "WASD Select Vital point". It actually does not do anything if you press wasd while holding F, neither does anything happen if you move the mouse.
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
these are just tips for the starting areas, the enemies later one become much MUCH stronger, smarter, and what not. It'll be almost impossible to throw something at them since they just dodge it, attacking them while they don't notice u won't give u free takedowns and their hits are much more deadly.
@@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
Ah - old F when they are in range - then when you drag your mouse in the reticle you'll see the abilities around the ediges. You gotta find the one you want and click on it.
Here's a little guide :: ruclips.net/video/3EB_YnVJf8c/видео.html That being said, some have found they also need to go into the control settings and change it from change it from CUSTOM and back to DEFAULT.
I think this is another tip the game doesnt tell you but uts also kinda obvious: yoo can stun an enemy and if your near a railing and you grab and throw them into it you can push them off and get the easy kill, stun back fist plus grab made this really funny to use
I just started and first thing I did was farm the permanent unlocks moves and now I’m age 21 at the clubs which is waaay better then my first run we’re I fought The Botanist at age 70.
Absolutely. I just ran into a situation where my best age didn't have the shrine buffs I wanted - so I wondered what would happen and how I could possibly get the ones I wanted. It was weird started Stage 2 at 26 with the shrine buffs I wanted when my BEST was 21. Almost like they need another button for that screen. Continue Current RUN and Continue BEST run.
Feb is a STACKED month for game releases!! Elden Ring, Horizon, Dying Light, etc. Its a good month to be a gamer!!

@@Stryftek can’t really farm too much in sekiro except for skills and items which still require you to be good at the game
You can also dodge into an enemy after an avoid or parry to throw them from the beginning of the game. The perk is just to do it after an attack
Oh nice to know!!

You can cheese the third boss by waiting until she does the walk toward you while swinging vertically move. Dodge it by holding L1 and spamming down. That will not only boost tf out of your focus it will also give you a open to attack.
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.
Amazing tips! I am still trying to figure out this age and skill thing, it's confusing to me.
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!
I hope this game get a strong modding community going the possibilities are endless with this combat system
Already seen some cool John Wick and Daredevil skins!
You are by far the best RUclipsr covering tips and tricks for Sifu. The first video alone made the game so much enjoyable and badass to play. Definitely deserve more subscribers. Great stuff bro.
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 :-)
Seems you've gained a good amount of subs by the look of the comments below, you've got my sub also now. Keep them video tips coming and by the way the reset thing with shrine progression for The Club at 21 is because it saves only the youngest age for that level progression..so if you were to play the first level again without aging, The Club level would save it as 20 with whatever shrine progression you've unlocked. I'm currently at The Museum at age 20 though I kept replaying The Club until I got through it without aging lol.
20 at Museum!? Very nice!
The algorithm is about to bless you
I can only cross my fingers!
Subscribed thanks for the tips !
Thanks!! I appreciate it!
You have potential brother nice video subscribed!
Thanks!!! I hope so.
professional editing, helpful and to the point tips, silk smooth voice
this man got'em all
Hey - I'm glad you liked :-). I try my best :-).
I just learn about the taunting to increase the multiplayer yesterday. So yea, this would have been helpful to watch early.
Its also cool how the taunt changes based on your age :-)
a few tipps, correct me. Almost always you can do bottom dodge, you should remember combos where to do high- dodge against low hits. then hit slowed enemy, also you ma block and dodge in the middle of your action, instantly finishing it. For train, you should intentionally stand in the middle of the group of foes and practice dodging :D I m not sure if all hits are counterhit- possible, maybe someone knows that?
For the "stealth" section, you can take out the girl on her cell phone underneath the stairs where you first spawn too.
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.
I just learned today that the second boss room has staffs you can pick up. Haha
I tried to use those... I just dodge.
Another tip I learned, you can down enemies on the ground and focus the other enemies so there's less people fighting back
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.
Thought I'd give you a well deserved sub before you hit that 1 million sub range
1 million?! 👀 Not sure about that :-)
I don't know if it's a tip or something I've realized but whenever you parry an attack and counter attack. The counter attack doesn't count as an input towards your base strings. For example, I counter someones hook and press quick strike and get the double punch counter attack, and then try to do quick strike + sharp strike because before I thought it would perform the quick strike (x2) + sharp strike combo but it does something different.
Interesting.... Hmm...
Actually you missed a throw method, the best one : immediately after a dodge ( when the time slows down ) you hit 1 time : result is the ennemi is stunned and you have an opening for a throw using X+A , it's a game changer you can throw on any direction ;) and .... works on bosses ... so best combination with skills witch give a combo with throw
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 :))
"Sifu doesn't have a stealth mechanic" > proceeds to describe Sifu's stealth mechanics
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.
In the ene you forgot to mention that it only counts age towards your best run and not shrines, so if you have an age 20 Squats run and took the short path or missed a shrine you’ll have to delete your save… If you redo the level and pick different upgrades they’ll just revert the next time you either give up or lose, I would have loved to know this before investing 3 hours into the game. Good vid tho
:-)
I've just been permanently unlocking everything. Once you die at age 70 it,'s not like you lose it. I'm about 6 moves away from having it all.
Ooo nice!!
Maaan, the other day I was the 647 sub, now we are 1k. I was gonna write to you that day but been busy since, but let me tell you this sir, I see this channel grow immensely fast. Watch us reach 10k soon. And after that to 100k. Cheers
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
Any stage you start from after a game over will play at your best (youngest) clear with whatever perks you took on that run, so the only way to overwrite that is to do better.
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.
ugh the save feature kinda sucks, I did first level at 20 then finished club at 23, then re did first level because I had missed some shrines, but everytime I continue to the club it resets my character aspects.. shit sucks it's like I have to beat the first 2 stages in one run
Thanks buddy. Were you around for Absolver? I feel like you were
I wish I would have played Absolver! It was on my list and I just never got around to it :-(
If an enemy has a weapon you can parry their attack and hit circle or b at the same time and you will take their weapon. At least I think it's circle or b, I have done it by accident a couple of times but I know for a fact you can do it.
Also be careful with enraged enemies, usually the ones with head bands or uses flips and kicks can catch weapons you throw at them like nothing and use it against you (only noticed they do it while they are enraged otherwise if not they just take the hit if you throw it). They only enrage when you try to perform a takedown on them. I like to avoid doing takedowns on them unless I absolutely need more health
Weapon steal?! I need to try this.
@@Stryftek Oh yes! It's so useful!
Damn I didn't know you could taunt, that's amazing
On a side note in the first mission there’s a major shortcut which lets you skip %70 of the level. When entering the first building you are supposed to head up the stairs which lead you to the hallway fight. However if you immediately go left there’s a pair of glass double doors you can unlock and head back out onto the street,which takes you to the factory with a few enemies here and there
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
I don't gotta worry cause they're are adding difficulty options lol. So I will pretty much master everything
I hope Sifu adds an endless survival mode similar to Batman Arkham Series!!!! That was the best and with this combat system that would be beyond addictive
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
You need more subs! So I subbed! Good info!
Why thank you!
Tips were valid thank you
Happy to help :-)
Throwing your weapon comes with the risk that the enemy catches it. Know your target.
Truth
Honestly I found myself losing health alot so I went for the health after takedown upgrades
I pick those up in the 2nd and 3rd stages!
Good stuff man I pre orderd a month ago on my way home right now to play cool tips tho I’ll sub
You're in for a treat!!!
Stealth mechanic would break the game in my opinion
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
Awesome Vid man. Subscribed.
Thanks! I hope it helps!!!
Really nice video dude :D
Thanks for watching!!
Don't use takedown if you don't need the health. Someone turning super saiyan in the middle of a tough group fight can be the end.
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.
Any tip to successfully use the palm or leg swipe using keyboard and mouse? i can barely pull it off one on one and impossible to do it in a group
I found you can't use combos that need directions while holding to avoid. So you'll need to let go of space and then input it.
You can practice on the training dummy at base!!
Thanx. This is Game of the year
That's gunna be tough. New Horizon Game, Lost Ark, Elden Ring. We'll see!!
Great video, king
So glad I could help!
The only question that remains is how on earth do you do focus moves on PC? I am supposed to select them SOMEHOW when the bar is full, and the prompt says "WASD Select Vital point". It actually does not do anything if you press wasd while holding F, neither does anything happen if you move the mouse.
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
ruclips.net/video/3EB_YnVJf8c/видео.html - quick short on it. Weird about the default thing though.
Is there a limit to how many skills you can permanently unlock? Or can you essentially perma unlock them all by grinding for it?
Many people grind the first 1 levels and just unlock them all.
these are just tips for the starting areas, the enemies later one become much MUCH stronger, smarter, and what not. It'll be almost impossible to throw something at them since they just dodge it, attacking them while they don't notice u won't give u free takedowns and their hits are much more deadly.
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
Great video bro Really helpful. I'm definitely going to do a video about this game I will tell people to go subscribe to you. In the video
Hey! Thanks so much for that!!!
3:24 - I have the high ground.
Hello there!
Thank you so much man, I'm more of an aggressive player so I really needed to see this video telling me to slow down and dodge!
Yeah, I was trying to play this like Batman Arkham - doesn't work all that well.
4:14 There are actually 4.
Girl, who talks about kung-fu or something.
Two on right and one on left side.
Can't use focus attacks on pc for some reason, got 2 bars but when I go in focus mode it just says "SWDA Select Point" and I can't select anything
Ah - old F when they are in range - then when you drag your mouse in the reticle you'll see the abilities around the ediges. You gotta find the one you want and click on it.
Here's a little guide :: ruclips.net/video/3EB_YnVJf8c/видео.html
That being said, some have found they also need to go into the control settings and change it from change it from CUSTOM and back to DEFAULT.
I think this is another tip the game doesnt tell you but uts also kinda obvious: yoo can stun an enemy and if your near a railing and you grab and throw them into it you can push them off and get the easy kill, stun back fist plus grab made this really funny to use
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.
Got the platinum a while ago, but still looking for tips to “improve”. 😅
I just started and first thing I did was farm the permanent unlocks moves and now I’m age 21 at the clubs which is waaay better then my first run we’re I fought The Botanist at age 70.
That totally works too!!
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
4:10 actually there's 4 takedown. Downstairs from 1st takedown. BTW thanks for the tips. I didn't know you could taunt that way. 😆👍
You can always start a level at the best run youve had (age wise)
Absolutely. I just ran into a situation where my best age didn't have the shrine buffs I wanted - so I wondered what would happen and how I could possibly get the ones I wanted.
It was weird started Stage 2 at 26 with the shrine buffs I wanted when my BEST was 21. Almost like they need another button for that screen. Continue Current RUN and Continue BEST run.
Stryftek's voice though 🤤😍
