Kiryu uses Dragon of Dojima Style once more

[@andreasottohansen7338]

That poor bastard had no idea the man he was fighting just switched from being a martial artist to the engine of destruction that has crushed entire branches of the Yakuza, independent gangs, all manners of drunks and louts, and pretty much everything between Heaven and Hell, all in one stance change. I feel it appropriate to say he *was* fighting, because that man lost all hope when the Dragon came roaring back.

I always found this cutscene specifically 0:45 being Kiryu “breaking free” of the Daidoji’s rules of combat, his fist placement style changing from his right fist raided and left hand lower which is the reverse for his Agent style. The change of open palms for quick grabs and take downs being replaced with fists really makes Kiryu be like. “I want you gone” am i overlooking this? Yeah probably.

[@lycanbladefang4768]

According to RGG's choice of programming, Dragon Style or Yakuza style is actually Komaki style... Since Komaki always uses it in all of his appearances and literally taught Kiryu most of his fighting skills It could be an oversight or added later on but Kiryu's fighting style is definitely Komaki's. Despite Komaki setting up a Dojo, no one else other than Kiryu could master the same fighting style. Like i dont care if PS2 Komaki had some weird monkey looking kungfu moves but RGG's choice of affirming how important it is in later titles that Kiryu's legitimate master being Sotaro Komaki like Roshi to Goku was in their decision of giving Komaki the exact same moveset as Kiryu

[@psiw0lf718]

gameplay wise, the agent style’s strengths lie in its gadgets, and therefore the rush combo and finishers aren’t much to write home about. the yakuza style is great for some no-nonsense head busting and generally does more damage than agent overall, not that agent doesn’t have its uses. i found myself using yakuza style far more since it was familiar to me. lore-wise, you could tell kiryu was getting really bored and complacent being a daidoji agent. it’s also implied the daidoji’s strict rules meant kiryu had to learn their style. this is kiryu going back to basics and doing things his own way, in a sense.

[@Богдан-м9и9ъ]

Agent style about pacifiyng, yakuza style about dealing damage. That's the difference.
