Shenmue: 70 Man Battle

[@reginaldgillcrese3935]

This game was light years a ahead when it came out for the Dreamcast.

[@Galimah]

now it is light years behind. even Yakuza 1 have better fighting than this clunky old turd

[@Galimah]

lol yakauza still way more fun than walking/takling simulator shenmue. especially yakuza 0. better graphics, better fighting, weapons, bigger map, way more to do, better cut scenes and more fleshed out characters.

[@guts-141]

Galimah it's the same company idiot You're mocking Yakuza's predecessor

[@TreeOgre6]

@@guts-141 it's the same game just this is the girls version

[@thesch2867]

Galimah The Yakuza series is nice but i wouldn't say it's better than Shenmue because both series are totally different to even be compared, Yakuza games are mostly action packed around every corner. Shenmue on the other hand is more of a relaxing experience with rewarding moments. Both series are enjoyable but for very different reasons.

[@EDGar-wi6np]

Remember playing this game for the first time and getting to this part, so fucking epic

[@blestmusician2a.k.a.robert263]

ED Gar This is why I’m getting this game for ps4!

[@michaelbull4344]

I remember this part is so great

[@ALionlikeMane]

God, this part of the game still hits me hard all these years later.

[@SomeHomesickAlien]

I couldn't even believe that could run on the Dreamcast so smoothly

[@oogaboogie]

I noticed thr guys in this part have wayyy less polygons than normal their firsts are like cubes lol, plus the hugely lowered draw distance

[@HighComissioner]

that guy at 3:58 gets it square in the face; amazing.

[@oOBlueBubbleOo]

4:12 That running dropkick was awesome!! Pedro is a true beast!!!

[@TheRealParanaue]

Without Yu Suzuki's vision, there wouldn't be an Assassin's Creed or God of War.

[@damienp1988]

i remember my thumb used to be so sore using the dreamcast controller to do this battle lol

[@SolidMGSnake]

I always wondered where the hell Guizang went on the last boss battle. He just ran away! lol

[@JerrythePlayer360]

He got knocked out from getting hurt too much He can stick around is staying on the start spot or facing that tough guy in the end

[@LutherTaylor]

this was the game that got me into martial arts! i can't remember the last time i had a fight, which is a good thing but the memories i have of them always seem to have this tune acompanying them lol

[@ALionlikeMane]

I cannot wait to get this remaster in August to relive this moment.

[@tubu1ar86]

This is the difference between good quality games that last a lifetime and keep people coming back to games made by and for $ only

[@showti]

0:51 What's Ren doing here?

[@bujbju]

lol this brings back memory's. I remember on this part the Dreamcast memory card had a count down on it, dropping each time you defeated an enemy. Legendary game.

[@BananaKen298]

We need ryo to be a guest character on tekken 7

[@gojidumb5947]

Bushido Brown you're damn right we do!

[@Santouryu3]

Yet it gets Noctis instead...

[@darenturner9661]

ryo would be better in dead or alive since they got characters from virtua fighter as well.

[@gojidumb5947]

@@darenturner9661 good point

[@thesch2867]

It would be cool to have a Ryo costume in a new VF... That is if a new VF ever happens.

[@sarvate2]

Wow. Very nice moves from 2:40 - 3:00 with the guy holding the plank. Terrific!

[@Laeno1210]

shenmue was such a good game..do deep the combat system is the way you can master the moves..true rpg at its best

[@rubberchix]

and I hardly ever bother training n that and the games still beatable

[@Santouryu3]

3:16 Thug: A box... It's SNAKE! *Picks it up and throws at a container.*

[@Kyddosuperstar]

This cracks me up, one of the 70 guys is wearing a bill cosby sweater.

[@orlanzo2621]

I mean hey it WAS the 80's, lmao.

[@professordeportugadoyt113]

The good ol days

[@louiemac9455]

Love that counter to axe kick from the guy in purple.

[@semvision]

Best part of the game, all that time you spend practicing martial arts pays off in the end.

[@kennethaquino5786]

One of the best part of the Game

[@RaymondKarlVeasey75]

The 70 Person Free Battle's Fastest Natural Time In The World Was 3:53:93 Held By The Wooden Knight.

[@jayh4911]

why did ryo's character model downscale in the 70 men fight? i.e the pointy shoes etc

[@killarjn]

I learnt something new when playing the 70 man battle today, Ryo can actually start taking damage over time after he's been hit enough. I was letting every enemy hit me several times and recovering, eventually Ryo just starting losing health while waiting for more enemies and he fell to his knee, wonder if that animation is ever used elsewhere.

[@daoyang223]

I remember getting my ass pounded at this part.

[@deadsonic8907]

Ancient Chinese music playing

[@FallenMonk55]

Yakuza series is the son of the Shenmue series.

[@simonslade2042]

combat for this was brilliant , the counter moves you could do with the right timing were great and rewarding when u pulled it off, better than fighting games out now, why did no one learn from this game?

[@vocalcalibration8033]

Yakuza?

[@orlanzo2621]

@@vocalcalibration8033 Ehh Yakuza's combat is honestly a lot more simplified compared to Shenmue. Fighting felt better in Shenmue in my opinion.

[@alexandermckay9521]

DOA and Virtua Fighter feel a lot like Shenmue, great games.

[@eztoni]

3:19 "and he... disappeared"

[@lalolara123]

whoa!!!! i didn't know you could grab pedro when he does that kick at 4:59!!! you totally owned him with that move!!!!

[@raisedbybears1991]

I never played Shenmue, but once in Yakuza 1 or 2 I got in a non-story fight in an alleyway that looked JUST like this and the enemies kept coming for several minutes. The Yakuza series is a spiritual successor to Shenmue- was it a reference to this?

[@SiuLoong]

Thank you Suzuki san..

[@SamuraiSnake]

Can't wait until I get to the 70 man battle!

[@JamalTheTitan]

Ryo Hazuki vs. Kiryu Kazuma. Make it happen!

[@Mfdude716]

JamalTheTitan I believe kazuma Kiryu would curb stomp ryo. However a crossover where ryo and Kiryu work together to defeat lan di and other yakuza families would be dope

[@darenturner9661]

they did a crossover in projext x zone 2 together.

[@Roxas-dr8om]

MF Dude716 I would fucking love to see Ryo and Kiryu work together! Even though kiryu could solo lan di and other Yakuza families it would still be cool to see!

[@Roxas-dr8om]

No ryo kick kazuma ass

1:55 that guy in the background. Who's he throwing that barrel at?

[@eamundo19]

My version of this on the old DC must have had a glitch, as Gui zhang pissed off as soon as the first 20 guys had been beaten!!

[@johnetanneso5095]

Man... 70 men battle .. it just epic ..

[@jrno93]

Getting a 4k screen soon can't wait to drool over those blurry textuees

[@normanroscher7545]

Was this set to easy mode or anything like that? As I remember it one hit by the large guy in the end would cost me one third of my health points.

[@JerrythePlayer360]

The last enemy was hard to beat though i tried my best even when the other guy was down

[@lalolara123]

damn!!! you owned the first mini boss in the camo!!!! :O

[@petteway23]

I don't remember Guizong (excuse my spelling) being there to help.

[@tactician1179]

Philosopher Doom Gui Zhang is only there to help in story mode but not 70 Man Battle mode.

[@Bigdaddykane2011]

Ur defense is amazing

[@dwiBrata]

THIS IS EPIC!

[@vocalcalibration8033]

I think this is the first time I've ever seen real gameplay of this thing. Every time someone talks about Shenmue in a top ten list or video essay or something all I ever see are the quick time events and mini games... even the trailer didn't show any of the actual combat. As it stands it looks similar to Yakuza... not quite the same, but still that arcade-y 3D beat-em-up look to it. Needless to say I'm more interested in the game than ever.

[@alanwake4442]

VocalCalibration Yakuza is more over the top stuff where as Shenmue is based on Virtua Fighter which is more grounded in realism. I enjoy both series though. Suzuki was a bit of a mentor to Nagoshi back in the day hence why people say Yakuza is like a spiritual successor.

[@vocalcalibration8033]

Alan Wake Fair enough. I just ordered Shenmue online and have 2 sitting on my shelf so I look forward to finally experiencing it.

[@alanwake4442]

VocalCalibration are you playing the second game on Dreamcast or Xbox?

[@vocalcalibration8033]

Alan Wake Xbox. Found a copy for $30 at a pawn shop

[@JohnnyBoiRed86]

Epic double team at 2:38

[@tjeastcoast556]

ya pretty damn good at this

[@christophermoody6840]

+ibrungit1 this guy is just button mashing has no finesse at all. Just using power moves and knocking guys out with one move. The cool thing is when you use throws and parry / counter attack moves and deal with 3 or 4 guys at the same time who get back up and try to attack you again and you wipe the floor with them. They need to remake this game, can you imagine with today's graphics. These graphics where amazing at the time. It's the game that made me want to buy a dreamcast when I saw pics of the game in the fall of 1998. Dreamcast came out a year later.

[@simpleyvic]

i remember it like it was yesterday.. the release date for dreamcast was 9/9/99.. and i loveddd this game.. this, and sonic adventure, among other classics like mvc2, crazy taxi, hydro thunder, ready 2 rumble, powerstone, house of the dead, daytona 500, san francisco rush 2049.. too many to name.. but i agree.. this guy has no style at all..

[@xMTxcameron]

There was a kickstarter for Shenmue 3 but there hasn't been one for a remake

[@dsl69]

Cameron Kirby well there's. Sadly not remake, but only a remaster. Atleast it'll run perfectly

[@guts-141]

TheSunkillers it's a remake It takes 100 GB jeez

[@FooFighters-x]

Cameron Kirby ppppppp

[@nokey7]

I loved to play it, very VF like in the gameplay, I think my best time was 4:25, Unlocked something but I had no connection to check what it was :C

[@Ampelfreund]

how you beat that shit?! I tryed 20 time and die at 2nd strong guy

[@1joel8]

thanks for replying to my old comment i forgot about it :D thanks

[@xMTxcameron]

Haven't played this game for years I forgot how much the Mad Angels sucked at fighting.This was an epic battle though I wish there was something similar in Shenmue 2, where you fight along side Ren

[@LilQuey]

5:22 tottaly powned!

[@Gurskii]

final kick on the dick finished the last battle!

[@ibrungit1]

Whoever is playing this is not even using technique. Ryo hazuki had so many cool moves by this point of the game. This guys is just mashing like its a side scroller.

[@KJBlueAvenger]

No ones perfect at everything. So what were you expecting?

[@ibrungit1]

Indeed. The point is nostalgia. I'm just making an observation. Nothing more nothing less.

[@Ivo1517]

woow u rock at fighting

[@squall600]

c'mon spn XBLA re-releaae shenmue!!! if sonic adventure was re-re-realeased for the PSN u can do for both shenmue 1 & 2 so u can have enough money for make part 3

[@brandongolden33]

Omg....YES!!!

[@davidconjefferson]

beat it faster solo /o;

[@mattf.868]

Shenmue 3 combat sucks ass : (

[@viron6734]

Yep, it's objectively awful. I come back to Shenmue 1 to remember how good it could have been.
