Sifu's new modifiers can "push your skills to the absolute limit, or let you beat on enemies stress-free"

gamesradar.com:

Sifu's summer update is nearly here, bringing players "more ways to play by adding a slew of new features" including an all-new scoring system, more stylish outfits, and new modifiers that "will push [your] abilities and skills to the absolute limit, or give [you] the opportunity to beat on enemies stress-free".

"For those who have already walked Sifu’s path to Wude, brand-new gameplay modifiers and a new scoring system will push their abilities and skills to the absolute limit, or give them the opportunity to beat on enemies stress-free," developer Sloclap explains. 

"These modifiers swing in both directions, bumping Sifu’s challenge up by letting enemies ignore a player’s guard and preventing them from picking up weapons or giving them infinite health and structure, and unbreakable weapons. Players who want a true challenge can make their own “hardcore” runs by making enemies even stronger, reducing their character to a single hit point and removing aging as well as guarding."

As for the new scoring system? Looking ahead, your score will now take into account every punch, kick, sweep and finisher performed, "doling out a ranking based on a player’s smoothness, efficiency and variety". 

"Dismantle a group of enemies without getting hit, and players will be greeted with a score worth flaunting," the developer teases.

Sifu's summer update is expected to release on August 31, 2022.
