7:16 Actually in game it is actually discouraged to parry/block the weapon as doing so will break your structure (stamina of your block) greater. This is also why the Second Level Club, is the most notorious, hardest and hated in the game. As you need to learn to dodge, and spot-dodging (dodging without moving a feet) the mini bosses there, as well as the Boss Sean the Fighter who uses a Bo Staff .
@@ruffethereal1904 True in that situation your best chance is to counter intuitively back yourself against a wall so you can't be attacked from behind pick up any weapons and use the eniviornment. But most importantly keep a good guard shifting from high to low and mainly throw kicks and knees. Mainly since you want to not drop your hands as much as possible against multiple attackers so only weave it in with elbows too when there is an opening. And also try to line them up and take on as few as possible one on one or two on one max three is damn near impossible if they're skilled. Four plus even a master or grand master above my level who's somewhat young would still struggle and definitely not come out unscathed. Also when your against multiple people let them come to you as stated and try to trap and tie them up or throw them into the other stuff like that. Tips like these would 100 percent help even the worst fighter in a life or death scenario. Never been that deep but had some pretty close calls my self. Since i tried to pick up multiple styles earlier in my life to defend myself. This made people here or there want to fuck with me or challenge me or some other stupid crap. Most of the time i didn't even want to fight and since my opponents are usually bigger and stronger i have to rely on aggression, brutality, and technique. So as you can imagine those didn't end well for them or me. The biggest thing i tell people in a street fight though is keep the hands up at least you can open them if your a wrestler or something but never fully drop them. At least keep one up i see pretty much everyone drop their hands when getting combed low and high with mix ups. Only shift your guard when necessary cause just doing it for show makes free openings. This is why 9.9 out of 10 times i never get hit by a haymaker and even if i do i cut the damage by like 3/4ths of what it could have been by catching and stopping it basically at last second if my guard wasn't in the right position. Also when it comes to kicks nothing fancy just stuff like push kicks or the teep in muay thai oblique kicks and low kicks with the shin and stuff like that only go high when they're crumpling from all the abuse low and mid to their chest and stomach.

…you guys never seen the behind the scenes of Sifu? To fill you in the actual martial art is called Pak Mei from LWS Pak Mei slow motion captured by Sifu Benjamin Culos
It seems the audio is a bit off halfway through the video, nevertheless amazing assessment, I'm only a 1st degree black belt in okinawan kenpo and have studied for only 5 years so I have many more years of learning ahead of me
Still playing it and yeah they really captured the flowing strikes and solid base line strength of Pak Mei. Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment!
There are sweeps and stuff and I find them pretty useful... this player doesn't seem to use them though. You can play different ways for sure so to each their own as they say.
The blocks and takedowns are very practical but I’m not sure the hand to hand combat is. The style is based of pak mei kung fu. Thing is that they never do any proper sparring so they get an unrealistic sense of fighting and most of the time, I think they just slap instead of punch. Seems hard to believe with the hand to hand mechanics but the blocks and takedowns definitely. In my opinion the character should’ve been able to check kicks or jump over a sweep rather than move back but that’s just a random thought Edit: I was a beginner on sifu when I said this so he can jump over sweeps. I slowed down the footage and the takedowns involving hands still seem like slaps in my opinion
Sifu seems to use some elements of Wing Chun and some muy Thai! I practice Wing Chun. The only difference it could be Pak Mei because wing Chun is fist strikes mainly not all slapping chops only.
@@gentry4960 well most kung fu styles have eye pokes and dick punches, and environmental attacks are just something thats great for gameplay. It's most definitely just pak mei. JKD is neither here or there as a style right now, it was something Bruce Lee tailored for himself, but never managed to consolidate into a complete system. Pak Mei could have similarities to JKD, but only because of the limitations on how a body could move, and not because it was a core inspiration for the protagonist
@@MatthewTraceur true this is why i never picked up jkd even though iv'e learned many styles. I will never be as slick as bruce if i trained for ten lifetimes so there is no point but i did steal the jab, flowing strikes, and some of the kicks like the oblique kicks. Then again i guess i took his teachings to heart since he specifically meant to discard what is useless to you and the fluff and find what is most efficient for you.
@@aquaticlibrary I think it might be Shorinji Kenpo, Sil Lum is just Shaolin but transliterated in Cantonese. And since Shaolin is Shorinji in Japanese, its the most probable one. Ed Parker Kenpo is usually just taught as American Kenpo
@@TyFhoonBoom Of course it provides insight into martial arts hahaha. The game has roundhouses, axe kicks, sweeps, high guard, low guard, spinning round kick, crescent kicks, side kicks, teep kicks, footwork and much, much more. It’s you who doesn’t have much insight into martial arts.
Not sure how many real life fights you've actually been in, but no, real people don't "wait their turn" to come in and strike you. People aren't dumb. If you're outnumbered they will constantly try to get your back, surround you, get your legs, tackle, hold you, throw something at you, jab you with a reach-based weapon. Also, enraged people will often not be deterred by a well-placed strike. Even a good one. They'll sacrifice the hit to take you down or pin your legs so their comrades can swarm you. Even 'untrained' people are far more cunning and ruthless than you'd give them credit for. Otherwise, it was a fun watch. Interesting take on a reaction video (which I'd usually steer clear of).
Taking a weapon blow to the limb is not ideal no but it's not completely ineffective either , it's like using a headbutt , did you get a little bruise maybe but at least you are still in good shape just saying by the wing Chun jeet June do and Kali myself
i guess all these armchair martial artists hating on him cuz he's fat, i gues you forgot Sammo Hung had a career in martial arts movies since the 70s and he's always been heavy, any body type can learn martial arts
Only had the game 12 hours at that point, and had to get the turn around done on the video. Did the best I could. Hopefully you still enjoyed the gameplay
so Hardwire gets an overweight kendo white dude to comment and a Chinese Kung Fu martial arts game!?! shit we need to be more aware. he didn’t add anything to this video. how could he? did he even mention the animal styles the character uses? NO!! b/c it’s not his martial art, he can’t relate.. video is a fail!!
@@j0cr0z Bro I played the game with my native hong kong girlfriend and she said nothing out of place. Only woke western fools like you make a big deal out of race. If the person can do the job well that's all that matters.

7:16 it actually hurts a little in the game to block a weapon and it breaks more your structure than blocking an unarmed enemy so it was thought of.
That hallway is a reference to a film called "Oldboy". AMAZING MOVIE!
Edit: for those that think Raid or Ip Man, go look up "Oldboy corridor fight" on youtube
Yeah for sure called to mind a lot of classic hallway scenes
@@HARDWIREDONKWTX sure but THAT hallway is literally pulled from Oldboy.
Got me so gassed as soon as I saw they put this reference in
too bad we cant watch it online 😂
I got that movie and recognized they paid homage to old boy. That's literally a scene from the movie.

It discourages block but not so much parry
You can parry Sean. Your structure will go higher but as long as you parry him your structure won't break.
This was interesting to watch. Really enjoyed the video!
Thanks, appreciate the feedback!
What an absolute legend. This guy also teaches sword combat.
The guy playing this game is a genius. Look at how much mastery there is after what I can only assume is 8 hours of gameplay
I feel like 20 dudes could just run into me from all sides without attacking and I'll be stuck lol
That's the sheer horror of being outnumbered.

…you guys never seen the behind the scenes of Sifu? To fill you in the actual martial art is called Pak Mei from LWS Pak Mei slow motion captured by Sifu Benjamin Culos
I saw it but the idea was to have him blind react to the game having seen nothing about it yet.
Loved the behind the scenes stuff they did for this game. Always cool to see the mocap process
It seems the audio is a bit off halfway through the video, nevertheless amazing assessment, I'm only a 1st degree black belt in okinawan kenpo and have studied for only 5 years so I have many more years of learning ahead of me
The Kung Fu system used in Sifu is Bak Mei. I've been a practitioner for 28 years. It's an extremely powerful style. The game captured it really well.
Still playing it and yeah they really captured the flowing strikes and solid base line strength of Pak Mei. Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment!
The style hes using in a southern style called pak mei
There are sweeps and stuff and I find them pretty useful... this player doesn't seem to use them though. You can play different ways for sure so to each their own as they say.

He can jump over low kicks
Aye this video didn't have the boss fights where jumping over sweeping kicks is required. It is in the game's dodging mechanics though
You should try Pak Mei if you can, they definitely punch.

It is Pak Mei. Sloclap said so.

Homie out here practiced in the ways of kung pao chicken
Haha for real lol
It's actually Pak-Mei Kung Fu, check it up.
Just about anyone who has been in a schoolyard fight could have contributed the same quality of commentary.
Tbf, this game doesn't really provide a lot of insight into martial arts, it's just a regular beat em up arcade game with no basis on real life.
@@TyFhoonBoom Of course it provides insight into martial arts hahaha. The game has roundhouses, axe kicks, sweeps, high guard, low guard, spinning round kick, crescent kicks, side kicks, teep kicks, footwork and much, much more. It’s you who doesn’t have much insight into martial arts.

I think the point of this video was just to explain the "cool" moves that sifu uses. I dont think they expect much of it can be used practically
late to comment but the enemies in sifu do try to swarm you, easily avoidable though if you keep moving

I did not take Zach Galifianakis seriously when he said he had a black belt in that movie!
His martial art was very what?
Stop cappin
I don't know who was playing but blah. Didn't really get a good look at everything you can do.

This dude looks like Alan from Hangover KEKW
You guys should rather check out the reaction of the Pak Wei Master.
