"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle".
- Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Could be cool in co-op when wasted, otherwise I agree with Waargh, looks boring as hell.
The different styles they talk of could bring some variety, but I failed to see three styles if those were actually in that gameplay footage.

Your battle staff, powerful fists and excellent reaction are the only keys to victory. Army of your foes is ruthless and even the small-time bandit can turn out to be a real headache for an inexperienced player.

Early winter 2019 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch™, PC, macOS и Linux.
Kinda reminds me of Double Dragon, but with extra Shaolin... looks quite interesting, as long as the combat is more than just X X X X X X Y X X X Y....

it has the retarded short pause at hit which one of the earlier 3D zeldas introduced.. always hated it. it just ruins the fucking flow... There are way better means of showing the player that he managed to get in a hit or a crit etc. in the zelda game i actually thought at first it was having performance issues in fights.
its fine in zelda games because its short and in the old ones you usually had single attacks and not long combos.
In games where you do combos obviously its a fucking retarded idea to use the freeze frame on hit.
