IMO it is the best, after the prologue with the emotions and the music. such a great job! I loved Metal gear rising and finally have a game that has similar mechanics and philosophy.
Another cool fact about sifu, sometimes you’ll hear the student make shushing noises or s sounds when he attacks, I don’t know if this also correlates with kung fu but in boxing when we punch we usually make those noises so we don’t run out of breath
Someone else said this, but GOD do I love this intro. Literally you get to fight all five bosses and learn a weakness they have. Teaching you basics and giving you a taste of what they will offer when it comes to time to face em. Fajar - Learn to parry and keep a strong defense Sean - Learn the strings and dodge em. Kuro - Learn to gage distance and timing Jinfeng - Learn to not let your opponent have ground or break time Yang - Learn to fight yourself. (Since he fights with the same style) But of course. It's never THAT simple. You learn the basics, but now you need to apply them and adapt to what may come your way. (Aka, all the phase twos for each boss since they now employ new tactics you need to adjust and be ready for)
honestly as a muay thai practicioner i can say this applies to real life as well, my coach always teaches me to utilize my teeps since I have long legs. But I have a hard time actually applying it during sparring. This is also one of the biggest reasons why most Chinese martial arts are failing in practicality, they train their technique, but they don't pressure train it in actual sparring.
@@andrewlee79233No. Yang is literally a mirror of you. He has your entire base move set, fights you without any melee weapons, and has his own skill moves (orange ones) which are exclusive to him, while your skill moves are exclusive to you. He also has your base attributes (His Structure regens over time) So you are fighting a mirror version of yourself. You have to use new moves and combos and not be predictable. Except that one combo move he does which can be parried every time.
What I got from this: Fajar - Predictable strings, can be easily Parried. Sean - Harder to Parry, but you can just sit still, Avoid then start beating him up. Kuro - Same as before, but now you need an approach tool after the Avoid/Dodge/Parry since she likes to back off really far away. Jin - She has a good defense even after you get through her annoying long range attack, try sweeping? Yang - The Mirror Match. Know yourself, literally, to know your enemy.
Not that much. More like it's just teaching you basics of the game. And the bosses later on reinforce those basics, so that you're prepared for Yang. For me it shows a bit of our protagonist's anger blinding him. He imagines he'd be able to take on these guys with ease after studying for 8 years. But all his studying has been theoretical. Maybe he hasn't even fought a single real opponent until he fought the junkies in The Squats. I think it creates this interesting moment where you think you're ready because of you practicing on your own, but then when you're thrown in actual combat you realize you have much left to learn.
@@dCa991 i watch youtubers who been gamin for over a decade n they gettin spanked too bro, i jus read sum that reports only 27% of niggas playin beat level 2 😭
@@yungsouljah2012 LMAO yeah the second level kicked my ass for a while, but it’s not that hard once you’ve got the timing down for parry and avoid. The game becomes so much more fun when you’re hoeing the enemies that gave you problems before.
@@dCa991 I feel the same way. Just managed to get past the museum with 0 deaths, and the game becomes a lot more fun and rewarding when you are able to beat your enemies with style. It's just practice.
Once you have mastered the game and go back to the intro, you feel even more like a badass as you are able to easily dodge/parry all attacks by the boss and give them a beatdown they'll never forget.
@@musicwizz3763 Yeah it's at that level the game really shines because not only are you able to dodge/parry perfectly, but you can combine various attack strings and moves to deal max damage and shove your enemies around like rag dolls. A definite highlight of this year. Indie studios have been killing it recently.
This is the sort of intro that a year later the music comes into your head and you compelled to look it up on youtube. I don’t even care if other games copy, just come with good music.
A good bunch of Shaw Brother's movies have intro's like this too! Pretty cool how the intro is a tutorial and an homage to classic martial arts movies at the same time!
This is probably one of the best opening credits of all the games Ive ever played and the fact that its an inde game is crazy, this team needs AAA funding and resources for a sequel, if they got that sifu 2 could potentially be the greatest combat action adventure game ever created.
@@branescanits only looped at Yang part,that's why even after 1 year playing this game and i don't even know how much playthrough i do, i never get perfectly timed cutscene like 2:27
I kind of like that despite 8 years having passed you ses the bosses here as he would've remembered them from when he saw them as a child, not how they look like when you face them in game.
But he is so obsessed he spent 8 years training a lot and using his imagination to create reflections of his foes, until the moment he goes out and beat all of them in one day. I mean...canonically, after this intro, the game starts at 3:30 PM and you're killing Yang around 5 AM, almost 6 in the other day
I think this would be better as a limited series like 10 episodes for the five bosses, one episode based on the mission and boss the fight, then the other episode about the gaps in between, finding the right moment to strike, and more lore.
As a person who platinum the game in the first week and then proceeded to not touch it for near a year just to pick it up and start nailing the game again I would 10 outta 10 deffo recommend this
Yang is such a badass final boss, I love how it’s a straight one on one when you fight him and no focus attacks. I got my ass handed to me by him several times before I mastered the art of Pak Mei and beat him silly
One of the first RPGs, souslike, Metroidvania and Hack n' Slash stuff that really applies to the concept of "Hard". The enemies have patterns, your combat relies on their patterns and on yours but you don't need to download their movesets to beat the game. I beat the game before dowloading most enemies, yet even today when I know all their patterns, I can easily get my ass kicked in a big room. (Especially fighting Yang, one wrong thought and I'm gone)
I feel like the most endearing or funny thing about this that this scene is presumably how strong the player's character thinks the bosses are. Like "yeah I think Fajar is the same strength as a grunt"
What happen if you die in the intro?! Can you get a secret ending or what? there is many game that has secret ending in the first intro like far cry 4 and 5 silent hill
Anyone know other Kung Fu movies to use the red or other colored background sometimes with a silhouette, similar to this? I can only recall 36 chamber shaolin, kill bill, and Kung fu panda. Gotta be more, right?
Well on a basic level the music is a banger, the visual is stylish as hell and the whole thing mimic the look and feel of a vintage kungfu movie intro. On the gameplay level, you are literally training in the tutorial along side the protagonist against what he conceptualise his strongest enemies to be. Who then, unless you are a gamer god, proceed to kick your ass over and over, showing the stark difference between thoughts and reality. If you play the game, it also subtly characterise the protagonist. Keep in mind when each enemies appear, there are only their alias and the way to beat them, except for one with a clear objective.
Honestly I was underwhelmed after the intro, I was super stocked on how amazing the intro was but the game was kinda short and lacked more content, I get what the devs wanted the game to be but I don’t think they did justice for the intro to be that amazing and the game to be kinda mediocre, still amazing but the intro is just probably my favorite game intro
Yang is such a badass final boss, I love how it’s a straight one on one when you fight him and no focus attacks. I got my ass handed to me by him several times before I mastered the art of Pak Mei and beat him silly.
Funny how Yang's moveset is literally yours but the only difference is that some of his moves are your moves improved or alternate versions of them. If you don't recognize most of his moves and think his attack patterns are new, you didn't unlock the full skill tree or didn't use all of its moves

This is probably one of the best intros to any video game I've played in recent years!!
Bravo Sloclap!
Gonna go play some more now
IMO it is the best, after the prologue with the emotions and the music. such a great job! I loved Metal gear rising and finally have a game that has similar mechanics and philosophy.
This intro is definetly up there competing with Ghost of Tsushima and LOU1 intros
Bravo vince
a statement I can get fully behind
The Intro with the red background is a reference to the jackie chan movie snake in the eagles shadow. Check it out. The movie is pretty decent
2:30 I just love the emotion in that yell the voice acting and sound design is great!
Just realized the character also throws the same punch that Yang threw to kill Sifu during that segment.
Btw that punch is made to literally knock the air outa you. So now I'm even more surprised at the details
3:04 is straight up badass
The rapid blows and the scream of rage at the end
in context screaming out your diaphragm releases a lot of carbon dioxide so you can regain your breath instantly. still pretty cool tho
Another cool fact about sifu, sometimes you’ll hear the student make shushing noises or s sounds when he attacks, I don’t know if this also correlates with kung fu but in boxing when we punch we usually make those noises so we don’t run out of breath
This completely sold me on the game! I was screaming with joy while playing through this. This is how you start an opening and sell an atmosphere.

never thought a game could buy me so quickly, then sifu did this, instant fav.
This intro is inspired from the movie "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow"
Arguably. One of the best martial art intros to a film.
Yes! I thought the same when i saw it for the first time.
Thanks gonna go check it out. I love martial arts flicks.

The music at 2:30 is perfect
This opening is such a hype, it really puts you in the shoes of the protagonist
I really got that feeling of vengeance from the kid, going "FUCK YOU, I'M GONNA MAKE YOU ALL PAY, BRING IT ON"
2:27 the song and slow motion fit perfectly
the song is supposed to match with the cutscenes, they loop the track while ur fighting
@@branescanits only looped at Yang part,that's why even after 1 year playing this game and i don't even know how much playthrough i do, i never get perfectly timed cutscene like 2:27
The prologue of the game reminds me of Forced Unleashed. Starts off with the big bad only for you to play as the son of the man you killed.
You mean force unleashed
I kind of like that despite 8 years having passed you ses the bosses here as he would've remembered them from when he saw them as a child, not how they look like when you face them in game.

I mean...canonically, after this intro, the game starts at 3:30 PM and you're killing Yang around 5 AM, almost 6 in the other day
I never get tired of the intro and the song. I have at least 60 watches on this video and others like it. This is awesome.
I hope they make Film adaptation for Sifu and they do this exact opening credits
I think this would be better as a limited series like 10 episodes for the five bosses, one episode based on the mission and boss the fight, then the other episode about the gaps in between, finding the right moment to strike, and more lore.
2:42 lol
Talk shit, get hit.
The second this montage started I fell in love
0:50 when song starts it gets so damn hype. This was such a strong intro for the game. Great game, just recently finsihed it ❤❤
I loved the game. Simply 10/10 masterpiece.
that's How a real anime starts! Nice intro!
When the intro teaches you how to fight the bosses, but you STILL get your butt kicked.
The intro was like a movie good damn the game is good
Game literally gives u an opportunity to not get mad at it by showing u how to beat everything but also subtly hides that

absolute cinema
If y'all ever watched old Hong Kong kung-fu movies, and the Shaw Brothers, you'd know this is a homage to the classics.
Fajar gives me Mad Dog vibes from the end fight in The Raid
