Tips on how to dodge and counter please

[Go to HELL Amber Heard]

Just started playing Sifu and defeated the Botanist. But I'm fighting Sean and my character died like 5 times in my playthrough and now she is almost 70. Any have any tips on dodging or counter because I know Sifu is all about this.

Would recommend going through the game's tutorial — you can do that by interacting with the wooden dummy in the Wuguan (main character's house).

I'm gonna take a wild guess that you've been pressing the sprint button to dodge, and not avoiding. The proper way to do it is to hold the block button and do directional inputs (Left/Down/Right for mid and high attacks, Up for low attacks). That will restore your structure and allow you to counterattack after the enemy whiffs.

You can also press the block button right before getting hit to deflect/parry. All attacks can be deflected, some are interrupted (parried) instead, both deal structure damage to your enemies.

For Sean specifically most of his combos can be dodged by ducking (holding block and moving down). Starting out his sweep was mostly what got me. Unlocking the ground counter skill with exp is also very helpful for when he sweeps you, it negates his slam and gives you a little bit of free damage.

Best advice I can give is looking up 1ManArmy, Liquid Drone and Djisso on youtube, if you're the type to watch video guides. Extremely helpful.

A sweep is a low attack, so naturally you'd want to press Up to avoid low attacks (cmon, it's written just one post above yours).

i feel like some people just trolling.
