SIFU - Chinese Grandmaster Difficulty No Death [Single Segment, NoSloMo, (Almost) All Lures, Wude]
I finally did it... I did this challenge when I rewarded myself with a good gaming session after progressing a good chunk of my thesis. Didn't expect to actually finish it.
This challenge is tough. Most of my run ended at the Squats either in the courtyard or at the hangar. Even if I get to the Club, I will most likely die in the room beside the disco room. Because of this, I haven't practiced the bosses for a long time. You can see that I almost died to grandma because I panicked.
About the pause at 36:23, it's a rare thing that happens to my laptop when I'm gaming. A massive frame drop followed by my controller stopped working (not disconnected). Luckily, I reached for the Esc key fast enough to pause my game. Otherwise, I would've died. The pause at 1:23:35 is just me scratching some itch.
Yes, I plagiarized the thumbnail from Hiro.
I'm happy that I finally finished it. But now, let's get some real-life stuff straight.
In-game modifiers are shown at the start of the stage and after the boss fight:
Stronger enemies
Unlimited threats

Relentless goons
No focus
Master difficulty
Personal rules:
Must make all enemies in the area aggressive before takedown/all lures (Except at the last area of the Sanctuary or for the handicap)
No intentionally not doing takedowns to prevent Saiyans (Most of the time when I didn't do a takedown, it's because I didn't expect the enemy structure to break or they were too far away)
No keeping enemy that doesn't turn into Saiyans alive for health reserve
No running away, must always be aggressive
No excessive sweep or chasing trip kick
No intentional instant kills (Except when they're alone or for the handicap)
Handicap:
Can takedown/sneak attack one enemy at the start of each area
