I believe this is the only time you get to see the top of the millenium tower on the drago engine. That's crazy to think they went through the effort of modelling the entire thing and setting up collisions and everything for it just for this tournament
Funny how they aren't allowed to use Iwami's likeness due to the fact he was modelled after a real actor, so they just gave him the glasses and went "that's recognizable enough"
He was already receiving mad disrespect in his own game, from Kiryu outright calling him a baby *to his face* and the game itself refusing to call him Chairman of the Yomei and instead naming him as CEO of Iwami Shipbuilding, this is just even more salt to the wound lmao
Funny enough, I use a similar name structure when inputting them for the arcade games. Kiryu is KRU, Yagami is YGM, and Ichiban is ICH. Imagine having robots with those names, bahahaha!!
@@ratt__mann9220 Damn for real, this game was underrated!

This looks like they put a lot more effort on Mine's moveset, i don't know, just looks better. This also make me wonder if they are going to announce Kiwami 3 in the next years
@@NerutoYT Something tells me it's not only Like A Dragon Kiwami 3, Kiwami 4 and 5 should be announced too because of Daigo and Aizawa's movesets. Oh boy, if they make Kiwami 5 the game is going to be very big because of multiple cities in the dragon engine. If Kiwami 3 is released we get to see Okinawa in the dragon engine.
Majima's parry was included in kiwami 1's nishiki boss moveset, but the ai was just programmed to never use it. My guess is they just copied the moveset from K1 directly without bothering to check which moves were actually being used in that game
I mean to be fair, Kiryu beat him when he was a lot younger and less experienced, he doesn't even have his iconic fighting style in 0 unless you do his business minigame. Narratively Shibusawa likely IS the weakest final boss Kiryu ever fought except maybe Iwami.
I knew attack upgrades would kill me lol, i was relying on equipment the whole time. For some added challenge, try fighting these guys with all of the items that lower defense. Kinda balances out your attack with theirs.
Well you have to reach a certain criteria like for example there's a platinum sponsored battle only after you finish all the Gold Rank matches. I remember that Plat Sponsored Battle was only available after a certain Main Story mission, I think? But if you're only starting them there should be VIPs when you unlock the areas near the Coliseum.
My girlfriend said Kiryu looked kinky bruh 😵☠️
lol
is she wrong tho 💀

I wouldnt be surprised if this is in IW to some extent and this is just re-use.

Which confirms what we already knew: There REALLY is a boss fight scheduled on top of Millenium Tower every week
maybe if we're lucky the 3-5 games may eventually get the remake treatment so this is one less asset to remake.
@@sonictj3 why the hell 4 and 5 need remakes, they are perfectly fine
Why the hell does this fanbase have this obsession with desiring remakes
Nostalgia trip for old players 🎉
It really is with the soundtrack included for that specific boss battle!

Funny thing is that his face appears in the flashback in early game
Well guess the dev knew he just a lil baby and they just give the robot just glasses
Took me way too long to realize I was fighting all the final bosses. Had to re-do the whole thing to truly live the moment. What a treat.
Funny enough, I use a similar name structure when inputting them for the arcade games. Kiryu is KRU, Yagami is YGM, and Ichiban is ICH. Imagine having robots with those names, bahahaha!!
That's just how their animations are listed in the game files, that's how they've been named at least since y3
Yagami is YAG, tho

hearing "a scattered moment" gave me goosebumps.
Love the music change according to the final bosses,weird that they don't include Shibusawa boss fight
minamida can’t get fight data from the 80s

5:45 did Robo Nishiki/M-NSK just do Majima's thug parry?
he did, guess he learnt a few moves from majima after he lost to him
I didn't realise that xD
Majima's parry was included in kiwami 1's nishiki boss moveset, but the ai was just programmed to never use it. My guess is they just copied the moveset from K1 directly without bothering to check which moves were actually being used in that game
3:56 F L Y
One of the best soundtracks ngl
Yakuza 3 had the best soundtracks period! The remix of Fly on the rooftop is exactly how Final Fights should go!
5:36 Dude logged off 💀
They should add Shibusawa and Takechi.
They should Roboma Sakamoto vs Tech-kechi
For some reason, I dont know why I find Ryuji Goda's fight theme sad.
It was one of Kiryu's important fights with I would say one of the best antagonists in the series.
I dawdled in the fights against simulated Daigo, Ryuji and Nishiki just to hear the music.
Shibusawa wasnt kiryu's stronger opponents after all. 😔
not including him was CRIMINAL
Maybe they wanted to wrap it up with Nishiki?
I mean to be fair, Kiryu beat him when he was a lot younger and less experienced, he doesn't even have his iconic fighting style in 0 unless you do his business minigame. Narratively Shibusawa likely IS the weakest final boss Kiryu ever fought except maybe Iwami.
It's much more poetic to have the tournament end on the one boss fight that actually mattered; the one the series started with.
Shibusawa is stronger than Iwami though
Bruh, when the video made windows device disconnect noises I was scrambling to see if my keyboard or mouse or headset dc'd lol
Sorry bout that 😂😂
Man its too bad i had to upgrade attack a lot to make it here. I destroy all the bosses just like i did at the end of all their games
My Kiryu was pretty maxed out tbh 😂 he's easily OP in this game
I knew attack upgrades would kill me lol, i was relying on equipment the whole time.
For some added challenge, try fighting these guys with all of the items that lower defense. Kinda balances out your attack with theirs.
I find it weird how Shibusawa isn't included
All the boss from every game is there except Yakuza 0's boss.
@@nikamir3845 I know, why the hell did you need to tell me that
Yeah it only includes bosses from 1 to 6
Because the guys moveset is already being used for slightly harder grunts, and they reuse it multiple times as well as in Lost Judgement
While I would've liked that too, honestly it would've felt weird not to end it on Nishiki
PS2 Nishiki lmao
I'd be having ptsd if I had to fight a robot with the face of my sworn-brother ngl

@NerutoYT maybe because Minamaida didn't get to read 0's final boss movement
@@bettergamer4ever582 I think they just focused on Kiryu specifically cause 0 had 2 final bosses for both protagonists.

I have a question:
How do you unlock Sponsored Battles?
Well you have to reach a certain criteria like for example there's a platinum sponsored battle only after you finish all the Gold Rank matches. I remember that Plat Sponsored Battle was only available after a certain Main Story mission, I think? But if you're only starting them there should be VIPs when you unlock the areas near the Coliseum.
Imagine robot Munakata lmao
What? Nishiki has majima's counter?
Another person said that it was already in the code during Kiwami and they forgot to unactivate it in this game idk xD
how do i unlock this? ive done every match
Well you'll have to do all the sponsored matches on top of all the matches if I recall
One thing I hated was the bosses were easy. Couldn’t enjoy their themes
Honestly you're right. Kiryu is OP if you have done everything prior to this
