not very polite<\/a>). If you're also struggling to get through its brawls and boss battles, or just want to avoid a few beginner's mistakes, this Sifu guide contains the most important things I learned on my way to defeating the final boss.<\/p>\nNotes on terminology<\/h2>\n
Avoid: <\/strong>When I say this, I'm referring to holding block and avoiding blows by flicking the analog stick up or down (or hitting W or S, if you're playing with a keyboard).<\/p>\nDodge\/Dash:<\/strong> I use these terms interchangeably to refer to the dash move (RT or Shift) which can be used to back away or sidestep, or be held down to run.<\/p>\nBlock:<\/strong> Holding down block (LB or Space) and absorbing blows.<\/p>\nDeflect\/Parry:<\/strong> Deflecting is hitting the block button just before being hit, and deflecting certain attacks will parry<\/em> them, stunning enemies and making them vulnerable to throws. (That's the way I've understood the terminology, at least.)<\/p>\n
