    Now that the shock of the Shinada jumpscare has worn off, I want to talk about Takasugi instead. Dude is legit one of my favorite side characters in the series and I love his dynamic with Shinada lol. His dumb running gag about how every single one of his kids makes more bank than Shinada makes me laugh everytime
    Btw Nico, hope you’re staying safe during the hurricane!

    If I could give one warning: one of the baseball missions is extremely annoying to beat, and if you fail it you’ll have to reload a save since you won’t be able to retry it. I recommend saving for every two or three missions you complete to avoid failing that mission.

    *General Combat Notes:* Let’s talk more in depth with Shinada’s kit. I will be mentioning his barehanded combat as it still has uses and his heat actions are too good to miss personally.
    *First off foremost,* gun specifically Tech and Essence skill trees. Shinada desperately needs these because Essence upgrades help with his weapons _which you will be using a lot,_ and tech upgrades to make his barehanded combat not as bad to use. *It's way more important to get these than Soul or Body.*
    **A lot of Shinada’s Heat actions are new to you and honestly I want you to see them as they can help a lot and are cool to see.*
    *Second,* With specifically *Polearms, you can hold circle for an indefinite amount to do a special charge attack.* This is especially unique to Shinada _as no other character has it_ and it's good for crowds. Give it a try.
    *Third,* One handed weapons (Sturdy Iron Pipe) with Shinada have great horizontal range if you noticed. You are able to _reach pretty far to attack enemies safely,_ *meaning hit-stunning enemies to death is possible with it and pressuring bosses’ guards.*
    *Last,* I strongly recommend you to _make a stun weapon (preferably a polearm/knife version)_ and keep it in the back of your inventory. *Don’t use it unless you are facing an annoying enemy because Shinada struggles with not being able to handle BS enemies like Kiryu or Saejima rn.* Save its durability when you have to use it because you _will_ run into those enemies.*

  • @ChingTheMonkey
    @ChingTheMonkey 4 месяца назад +94

    Shinada's great not just cause he's a normal ass likeable goofy dude, but also because he really just has straight up some of the best substories in the series in my opinion. There's some really good stuff there.
    Also yeah, some important context for the baseball thing is just how huge baseball actually is in Japan. They really take it seriously over there, and you could probably find a fair number of cases where they go ballistic over it. Heck, just last year there was a case where a vtuber practically got fired over making an innocuous post about baseball.

    *General Notes:* Those prize tickets? There is a grand prize that is a Pearl in it *which is the only way to get one to invest into Kamiyama’s shop to unlock some stuff.* Since you want to put your resources into making weapons to gain the attack power advantage along with your infinite durability weapons, I would recommend to save scum for the pearl if you want.
    You usually get these tickets on the ground or by making large purchases, have like 20-30 tickets in hand to save scum.

  • @MugdhaMahdiShams
    @MugdhaMahdiShams 4 месяца назад +39

    I've been playing 5 again recently as well. One thing I've noticed is aside from weapons, Shinada's kit also heavily relies on his throws. Try pressing circle at the end of a combo. Like Square, Triangle, Circle or Square ×2, Triangle, Circle. They function a lot like Kiryu's bounding throws and if you can time it right, you can basically stunlock any boss to death.
    Best way to use em is dodge and get behind an enemy as they attack and then use the above mentioned combos but only land the last hit of the combo. Hitting them with the first hit of the combo makes them turn around and they may block afterwards.

I mean I guess I shouldn't be surprised since the Yakuza series is a Sega franchise and Sonic The Fighters did showed in one of the Judgement games but still what an odd place to play Sonic music. I dunno, maybe the bartender must have excellent taste in video game OSTs

    For those who don't know baseball, "Sign Stealing" is a form of cheating where someone observes the "Signs" (nonverbal hand gestures that team mates and officials use to communicate and strategize) of the opposing team and uses that to strategize. Sign Stealing is a bit interesting in that it is both legal and illegal depending on how it is done. For example it is legal for a Runner on second base to observe the Signs being given between the Pitcher and his team and in turn Sign to the Batter (it's on the other team to be subtle with their Signs), but it is illegal for the Batter to peak at the Signs given between the Pitcher and Catcher. Also, any form of mechanical or electronic Sign Stealing is illegal e.g. you can't look at the jumbotron to see what the Signs between other players are (well I mean you "Can" you just can't act on them).

    Match fixing has been explored back in Kiwami 1 where Kiryu helped out this one fighter, the Jackal, who was being blackmailed. The shady guys were taking advantage of this by trying to fix the Jackal's upcoming match and have him throw the fight, leading to these guys getting profit from all the winnings on the bets, most of which are in favor of the Jackal.

    It's so funny to me how canonically Shinada is supposed to be broke as shit and Akiyama is supposed to be loaded with cash. But on my first ever run I kid you not the first time I had a street fight I got a platinum plate, Then about 30 minutes later with Shinada I got another and was basically set for life. Meanwhile, I literally had to heal with food items on Akiyama cuz for the life of me I couldn't get any money on him and my luck was always crap.

    Just some funny moments I like going back to:
    9:27 Peak Masked Man Zoom In Moment™
    11:50 That side pan to Shinada while he's making such an expression is hilarious 😂
    30:40 The conga line of old acquaintances from Shinada's high school days is so ridiculously funny.
    Coach Igarashi is a Mr. Miyagi fan, so you know he's cool (if eccentric).
    45:00 Ah, *Heat Eye*
    This was a skill Kiryu used during the shooting segments in both Zero and K1 if you remember. It's kinda interesting to think about, since Shinada and seemingly Kiryu have _good dynamic visual acuity_ , they'd probably be good at spotting tells like Apollo Justice's mechanics in Ace Attorney -with his big bulgy eyes- 👀
    59:01 The sound of Nico dying inside because of Y5 Remastered pool.
    -Also Coach Igarashi is just the devs saying "Play all the side games, please", isn't he?-
    1:02:43 Time for *Machine Gun Kiss* , you shall have your moment next time, *Rouge of Love* (I hope, it's better with a hostess anyway)
    1:08:31 _Into the hole_
    1:09:37 -The spirit of Chef Tatsuya has possessed the coach!-

    Coach Igarashi: The next training is to train your stamina. You need to be able to keep swinging at your best no matter how tired you.
    Shinada: Makes sense.
    Coach Igarashi: Your training this time is to go to a Cabaret Club and talk to one of the hostess there.
    Shinada: * Surprised * Seriously?
    Coach Igarashi: Yes, but not just any cabaret club, you need to go to Sotenbori and find a club called "Four Shine".
    Shinada: I heard of that club. Isn't it the best club in all of Sotenbori? Oh, I get it. Getting together with one of the best hostess in the business would make for "good training".
    Coach Igarashi: Get you head out of the gutter, you horndog. It's nothing like that. You literally just need to talk to one of the hostess there. And it has to be a specific hostess.
    Shinada: Oh? Which one?
    Coach Igarashi: The best hostess in the business. Their number one girl. Etsuko, the Obatarian.
    Shinada: What?!
    Coach Igarashi: She talk the ear off on anyone. It's the most taxing thing anyone can do, both physically and mentally. If you're not careful, she might just talk you to death. Be prepared Shinada.
    Shinada: I'm not sure if I want to keep training anymore...
    Coach Igarashi: Don't be such a wuss! You'll never make it to the big leagues if you don't even try challenging the Obatarian! Be a real man and show her what you got!
    Shinada: If you say so...

    You should play the baseball side story whichever way is most comfortable to you, but it is flexible enough to allow for a variety of ways to do it. With me, for example, I only ever used one button - X. I never really focused on the other three, only X. That was comfortable for me. So just play however you want to do it, whether focusing on one button or going all the way to four.
