Anybody playing Sifu? It's fucking rad. Best I've done is get to the last level at age 45 but the boss is beating my fucking ass.

I don't know if it's because I'm old af now and I'll never be good at anything ever again, and the games aging mechanic really drives my mortality home while I'm getting the shit kicked out of me, or if the game is just that fucking hard. I've enjoyed spending the last few nights playing until I scream and/or cry though.

    Coming from playing SFIII: 3rd strike and being able to parry has made this game easy for me. Use weapsons when possible, in large groups divide and conquer, upgrade your stance bar and recovery health on takedowns. I always started the game over if I took one death until i could beat the level perfectly without taking a hit but i'm insane.

      I can make it to the 3rd boss at 20. But her first phase just whips my ass and takes the years off of me. People really good at this game impress me.

        Ohh i see. Don't go attacking her on the first phase. You have to wait for a specific string of hers where she is open for attack. You will see her glow red when she does. If you can parry its a plus but other wise dodge until she does the string and is left open for attack. If she doing the one where she chases you while spinning her weapon just run around.
