During the conversation, Sifu yells at his student that they were supposed to guard his magic talisman rather than steal it. Nonetheless, the scene depicts a heart-wrenching argument between the student and the master. Due to Yang and the Protagonist both being the master’s former students, it is quite possible that the mysterious voice can be attributed to either character. Upon approaching the graves, they hear an unidentified voice arguing with Sifu. After Yang dies, the protagonist envisions their younger self in a cloudy red room standing above two gravestones. Sifu’s narrative from here on can be seen with various interpretations, but no matter the way you look at it the key points will still stand. In the bad ending, the death of Yang brings no joy to the protagonist as they watch him fall with only a face of sad reflection. Sifu’s bad ending will initiate only after killing Yang during the final battle of the game. Sifu’s bad ending is unlocked by naturally defeating each boss through the act of murder and achieving revenge. Ith that crucial detail in mind, on a first playthrough of Sifu, almost all players will encounter the title’s bad ending because of how they are taught to play the game: bring every opponent that stands in your path to their knees. For now, it is important to understand that Sifu refers to the player’s teacher who is killed by Yang during the opening of the game and the title for the mantle of master. While this may sound disappointing, the narrative of Sifu gives a proper reason for this that can only be understood after experiencing each of the game’s endings–but we will get back to that soon. Players are never told what the Sifu’s actual name was. Yes, the old master player kills and leaves his disciple for dead when taking control of Yang is the titular character of the game. For players unaware of the term, “Shifu” (Mandarin), or rather a “Sifu” (Cantonese), is a person of great skill who can also be referred to as a master. During the last level of Sifu, the final confrontation with Yang provides plenty of revealing details about the game’s title for those who are unaware of what it exactly means. Before diving into all three endings, it is important to grasp the concept of what, or rather who Sifu is.
