Did you know that Majima in Yakuza 0 has 2 taunt animations in Thug Style? The first taunt is where you near an enemy and taunt. The second taunt is where you grab someone and taunt. (This is similar to Akiyama's ability, "Scolding Glare") After performing a grab taunt, the enemy will escape from your grab. This is perfect for following up with the heat action, "Essence of the Thug: Pursuit".
Im genuinely surprised people didnt know that lmao
@@hamidsafdar1219 Well to be fair, the game never tell us about it.
@@yinakiyama it does, its in the ability list
Although most people dont read that i guess
@@hamidsafdar1219 If you’re talking about the taunt grab, there’s nothing in the ability list that states that you can grab and taunt, the closest thing is the “White Tiger Spirit. The Heat Gauge will rise when you taunt an enemy. RT near enemy.”
@@hamidsafdar1219 Unless I'm missing something, I don't see anywhere in the ability list where Majima can do a grabbing taunt on someone.
"Wait, it's all Judgment?"
"Always has been."
Lotus flare fist can actually be used to make lau ka long a joke in his 3rd phas cause he doesn’t block it for some reason
He respects the effort and lets you hit him I reckon
Lotus Flare Fist does have ONE use which is cheesing Lau in Y3 since his claw phase makes him more passive than a grandma with arthritis on a wheelchair and he doesn't try to avoid the charged attack
i fucking love how yakuza 3 forced me to use my entire moveset, instead of what always worked.
i know a lot of ppl hate it but thanks for sharing this!
I beated yakuza 3 recently on legend and honestly, lotus flare fist is not that bad, it was pretty useful.
The friend thing is at least good for making me smile when I see one of buddies waving at me ;u;
It makes me feel like I actually have friends. Uh in game I mean… yeah
@@SnowiestAngeman I really like the friends system... makes Kamurocho feel less lifeless.
Lotus flare fist always felt like a 50/50 chance of hitting bosses but when you do you get all that heat so I think its useful, and it knocks them down usually
Lots of comments seem to all say that it works best on bosses which I didn’t really think about so that’s one positive thing about it
NEW SNOWIESTANGEMAN UPLOAD LEEETSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
As somebody else says, I think the Lotus charge fist gives a lot of heat if it lands, so that's it's one benefit.
IF it even fucking hits in the FIRST PLACE
Baby Flux Fissure lol
not to mention there’s an ability you can get from IF7 that lets you charge heat just by sitting in the flare fist stance.
@@ashikjaman1940 I mean, Kiryu did use kung fu that time tbh
If the Get-Up-Crane-Switch was just that, a quick get up that lets you immediately dodge away or attack, I would've loved it
Or if when you are doing the animation the enemies slow down like when you swap styles normally. But yeah it’s kinda underwhelming sadly haha
I think its perfectly fine and even welcomed (imo) to get nitpicky about some of the weird abilities in the games. After 100s, maybes 1000s of hours in all of these games I don't think this ever needs to be viewed as an attack on the series but just a fun video highlighting some of the niche little annoyances within an overall fantastic line of games. I think it gets really bad when you try to talk up something way more than it needs to be discussed but I don think you've ever done that
I thank you for the kind words. I also just think it’s funny pointing out stuff that is usually just ignored ‘cause it doesn’t matter too lol
I was absolutely bewildered when I got all three of the friendship boosts and encountering a friend still did like, literally fuck all.
I actually found the charges in 6 to be pretty decent. They’re not great in combos but the base charge kick without any light attacks does hood damage and can lead into a heat action if you’re in extreme heat mode.
Tbh I don't know how objectively good they are but charging up the kick and hitting a fallen opponent has always scratched the juicy part of my brain
Yakuza 6's charged drop kick is genuinely the most op move ever, I easily beat amon first try by just spamming it. So yeah, charged attacks were good
Yeah I meant more the combo charge attacks were the bad ones but Kiwami 2’s charged attacks I think were handled a little better ‘cause not being able to love around while charging can be a hassle sometimes. That being said though in my next video I mention how good Yakuza 6 extreme heat is so look forward to that whenever it comes out hahaha
@@SnowiestAngeman sorry for late reply but the combo charged attack in 6 and Kiwami 2 is useful as it is always a guaranteed attack to stun enemies whenever they're down after being hit by that charged attack (you can knock them down with rush attack and grab finisher or heavy attack finisher like usual) but the bosses take some time to be stunned
Serpent hold almost looks like the ground grab in breaker style from y0. Also hard to pull off outside of training
Lotus flare fist made a lot of the Y3 bosses possible for my first playthrough. Especially Joji Kazama
Would've been cool if you could use the smoking heat action from 3-5 in JE / LJ, maybe with slight alterations but it would give the cigarettes a good use
I think actually it would be interesting if that was the use for the cigarettes, but even though it’s a heat action it’ll give you the amount of heat you normally gain from smoking them. Would be a unique twist but Yakuza only know about cliche twists :(
@@Flufferpup they literally show Kimutaku smoking cigarettes. That alone depicts them as being awesome as hell.
In yakuza 6, Kiryu can go into heat mode and then unleash his charge attacks as a means to pull off some of the most brutal heat actions in that game. In lost judgement, when in EX mode in tiger style, Yagami can charge every part of his YYYY combo for some serious damage before finishing off with the final Ex action. It’s good at destroying bosses.
Lotus flare fist it's great against Lau ka long, it also works wonders against quick stepping enemies in Y3 (like komaki and the reapers)
From the comments it seems as though Lau Ka Long will ask the devs to nerf that one specific move
4:13 I don't know why, but snowiestangemans anonymous nickname for the final boss "bin banana" is always so funny to me, and when he says that i can't help but picture Yagami fighting a guy in banana costume
Just want to thank you for putting names of music at the top left angle of the screen in every of yours video.
The disappearance of putting certain items in item box in DE games pissed me off until LAD happened.
I know I’m late. But on the off chance to see this, I really want to thank you for not spoiling judgment.
I’m playing it next time, and im nothing but excited.
I'm someone that tells you you are wrong.
Passive enemy AI that usually input reads you doesnt react to charge, allowing you to combo input readers after a well placed lotus flare fist.
Namely, Lau's claw phase.
LETSGO LOVE THE VIDEOS, KEEP EM UP MAN
Thank you table desk chair Spanish
@@SnowiestAngeman it doesn't say chair but thanks for adding it, just table and then desk because why not, actually I forgot the password of this account and can't even log out of it or I'll lose it lmao
Imma be real I've done JE and I didn't know the refrigerator skill increases quantity of max item, I always thought it meant max number of food the landlady put in the fridge
Another useless snake feature are the EX ○ grab counters, they requiere an enemy to grab you while in ex boost AND not use the universal ex action, you have to think about pressing ○ or the grab button and the payoff is a nice animation but zero damage
Yeah true it’s rare enough that an enemy will grab you like more than once in a battle so just use the heat action haha
Making Yagami dance at Fiji's track at the end was sublime.
babe, snowiestangeman just uploaded
No, friendship is great and I hope everyone can feel true love
For real, for real
in yakuza 6 heat mode makes you take double damage
I love the Voice of him, it fits so well to the vids
Thank you very much :)
Majima's freeze pose counter in Breaker feels pretty damn useless especially given that you already have the more reliable elbow counter. You have to go out of you way to not hit anyone to set up the counter to get the opportunity to use it and the pose isn't held for very long.
I straight up didn't even know that it was a thing until not that long ago and then I proceeded to forget about it immediately lmao
lotus flare fist is goated
i only really used the yakuza 3 charge attack once and that was during the hamazaki fight on hard mode, you could sort off wall bound him using that. but i only used it cause i didnt have the komaki techniques yet
Yeah despite people saying how there’s not many options in 3 I think there are just a lot more way better options than the flare fist haha
@@SnowiestAngeman i got hamazaki mixed up with tamashiro lol
I know you mostly do Yakuza but it’s be dope if you ended up doing this for other games
The lotus first is bad but has some pretty good upside like the more heat you have the more damage it does and it is used to build heat as well
lol I never used serpent hold holy heck
Constantly failing that Yakuza 3 challenge because Lotus flare fist wouldn't work half the time. Enemies hitting me, missing, thinking the charge animation is done but it actually isn't and it taking like, 5 seconds to charge make it quite bad.
i think phantom turn from the breaker style is pretty useless considering that it wastes a lot of heat and it's not even that good of a block/dodge
Honestly, the one ability I still find almost no use for is the one heat action in Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami where you punch an opponent across the street after stunning them with Rush. It does so little damage for how much you have to damage the enemies in return, and alternatively, you could just switch to Beast or Dragon and get way more damage off. It really is the essence of “All that for a drop of blood.”
It's a bit of a bummer seeing Judgement kinda nerf the friendly NPC thing for combat from some of the Yak games. If I remember right, a couple of them, like K2, had area-specific heat moves where a buddy you made in-game would toss you a unique weapon or provide an assist for a heat move. Not always the most practical to set up, but it was nice to see the big city still have some life in it post-side quests.
Have you thought about making kurohyou videos? It's a cool and obscure game with lots of mechanical depth
I’ve mentioned it over a few different videos but never anything dedicated to it. Definitely would if ever it got a port or remake or whatever though
Lotus flare fist isn't that bad
It's very useful for lau ka longs last phase in y3
4:18 what overdoing it looks like
Kick Combo is such a terrible ability if you mash buttons... at least it's optional in one of the games.
The only other person I know that says mackers for McDonald’s is my brothers South African friend, Shit always has me laughing
It's reali5e
Did they change the greeting friend skill recently? I swear i got the full charge with that skill
man your channel has really grown.. i don't like it just because it's a yakuza channel. i like it because it's an indepth on every angle of the yakuza games. all of my yakuza shower thoughts are in your channel. your idea's are really unique. i feel like at some point i thought about them but i didn't bother to get deep in it. and somehow all of your music selection are on my playlist😅. i really like your style. i hope someday you make a discord server so we can brainstorm some idea's or something. keep it up!🤩
I hate mashing x and don't know why they brought it back, so I swap to crane whenever I can.
All abilities are bad when compared to picking up weapons off the streets. I don't need no fancy kung fu moves, I got a bike (and sometimes a traffic cone)
Xenoblade music
I know this isn't Yakuza related but will you make tekken 8 videos?
Bruh I’d love to but I suck balls at Tekken I know how to do like one combo as Jin and that’s about it haha
@@SnowiestAngeman really? Damn doesn't matter anyways your videos about breaking down Yakuza stuff could easily be well done with tekken videos too
I just started Lost Judgement and tbh as cool as the combat is, why do I have to buy the same move for every style individually??
It’s a lit game but you’ll see as you progress that you’ll just get like a million SP per random encounter so it’s not that big an issue. I would definitely suggest getting the 200% SP bonus skill or however much higher you want though it helps a lot
@@SnowiestAngeman Just got to the Soma fight and nearly shat myself when I saw a *purple* healthbar, why do they recolor them every other game lol, green meant third HB for the longest time
should've said part 3/2
I disagree wit the lotus attack in Y3. My normal attacks do nothing so the lotus attack is the only reliable way to damage enemies and also to stun them
Yagamer
Kiwami 2's Situational, positional, encounter opening Heat Moves were simply not worth the time and effort to get them all.
They required a sidequest to be ENABLED to be unlocked,
They took up precious moderately large amounts of XP in a game that's annoying to grind them out.
They can only be used depending on where each one is, which would be fine since there's plenty of situational Heat Moves, except
They can only be used on ONE guy, when the fight STARTS, IF you have Heat ready, IF you don't miss the QTE that can genuinely catch you by surprise because you forgot that you had it in this spot.
Simply too many hurdles for what amounts to making one guy start with less HP at the start of an encounter.
Could have fixed it by making it available at any time if you're in the right area. Then you could maybe finish a fight with having an NPC Assist by tossing the weapon you use the Heat Move for.
Bad yakuza ability: Haruka
Counter argument: Otometal my life
R1 + Triangle Counter: So Much More and the whole princess league
Stamina Spark: the best selling yakuza games are the ones without Haruka
Snake's counter kinda sucks ngl
S issue
Honestly, the Ashura spirit from yakuza 3,4 and 5 kinda sucked.
Sure, it gave you health at the cost of emptying your heat bar, but not only is it completely wasteful, the health you receive is complete piss.
Yeah I tend not to use those abilities outside of like specific things where you can’t use healing items
Essence of Jumping from Yakuza 3 and 4 is a pretty bad technique. It's a heat move that requires a railing to be between you and the enemy, which happens so infrequently in both games, it makes you wonder why it was even introduced. There's pretty much no reason to ever go behind a railing in these games because you have less real estate to move around.
was my idea stolen 😱
Yes because I forgot about the friend thing because it sucked so much thank you lol

Kinda first
