They're one-time use, and enemies usually throw them, so keep an eye out. If you get hit with one, you are stunned for a couple of seconds, unable to block or dodge. These start off simple with glass bottles that can be picked up and thrown. Into the railing you go!īut the third and biggest hurdle to dodging and parrying in Sifu is the various weapons that the game introduces. However, perfectly parrying these attacks usually stun and stagger the attacker, so take your risks accordingly. In fact, several advanced enemies will do their own version of a finisher attack on you if they break your Structure like this. Worse still, if it breaks your Structure, it will knock you back and leave you open to punishment. If you try to block this attack, it will greatly effect your Structure. These attacks are telegraphed by the arm or leg doing it glowing with orange or red aura. On the other side of the coin, there are powerful attacks enemies can do that I'll just call interruptions. This will be vital with late-game boss battles. However, it must be noted that if you try to parry every single attack in an enemy string, it will still result in their overall Structure getting ticked down. The trick is to wait until you see the slowed time while dodging or physically see your opponent knocked back by your parry before you attack. If you try to interrupt the chain early with an attack, you'll get punished by the rest of the attack string. Dodging or parrying just one attack will not do. First and foremost is that more advanced enemies, minibosses and bosses in particular, will start exhibiting super armor. With the information listed above, you will get through a fair amount of Sifu just fine, but as things progress, exceptions to this rule will start popping up.

These help greatly reward this more risky play since, if you get the timing wrong, you'll be pummeled. What makes these attacks a bit different from dodge attacks is that there are skills you can unlock to gain extra parry attacks. Hit an attack button shortly after and you'll do some strong follow-up blows. As mentioned before, pressing block just as an attack comes to hit will you stun the opponent. Bottom line, don't overthink your input when you're dodging, just focus on where the attack is coming from.Īlternatively, if you are really good with your reflexes, parrying attacks can lead to greater yields. In fact, it is entirely possible to have two enemies hit each other with a well-timed dodge in more advanced play. Regardless of where your character is, the orientation of the camera, or where the attack is coming from, hitting down will always duck and hitting up will always avoid a sweep. Second of all, the control stick inputs do not change. Once their Structure breaks this way, you can instantly take them out with a finisher attack. However, if you dodge or hit the block button at the right time you will parry the attack and can do some follow-up strikes, which greatly reduce their Structure gauge. The big difference however is that while your Structure can be overwhelmed from multiple hits while blocking, your enemies can block almost indefinitely. If too many attacks are blocked, the gauge will flash red, a breaking glass sound effect will sound, and the defender will be stunned for a few seconds. It represents their overall balance and stance. Every single character in the game has one of these gauges. As attacks are blocked, it puts pressure on something called the Structure gauge.
