Actually at the start of the game kiryu was almost as strong as he was at the end

[@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

What's wrong with agent style though? It's seems more effective to take down enemies with less effort and has actual legit techniques compared to the Yakuza Style( i don't say Yakuza style has no techniques at all)

[@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.

[@user-cc6rw1qu1v]

Agent style about pacifiyng, yakuza style about dealing damage. That's the difference. Agent may look cool and effective, but basic dod combos (they're technical, btw, saying that it's just streetfighting's kinda dumb) are better for straight beating up people, whereas agent is used for "teaching punks a lesson"
