The BEST Long Battles in Yakuza/Like a Dragon

[@wertyppl]

Every time I'm in a hotel room, I fear that at any moment Kiryu will burst through the door yelling KANDAAA

Lost Judgment’s final long battle is an insane roller coaster, simply a peak finale in a videogame

[@AdApT3Rx]

You ain’t lying no cap

“b-but ebina can heal the damage i did to him” IF YOU CANT DO A PIDDLY 2000 DAMAGE IN A CYCLE OF 4 TURNS TO MAKE PROGRESS, YOU ARE NO DRAGON. YOU ARE WEAK 14:30

[@Tybell702]

Nothing, i mean NOTHING will ever beat the first kiryu long battle and final majima long battle in 0, running through the Dojima HQ with t u s k and reign playing, using the mad dog style as majima just makes it so much more thematically cool and kiryu dropkicking yoneda out of the bathroom window will always go FUCKING HARD

[@alonemax2912]

First Kiryu long battle is what sold the entire series for me. I'm sure it's the same for many people. And when you return there as Majima with all skills and emotional attachment you acquired throughout the game... Yakuza series is great, but Yakuza 0 is really something special.

t u s k is fking HEAT! The first long battle made me love that song. It’s currently in my workout playlist

[@theabyssfarer]

I swear the FF16 ending section in each of your videos never gets old,also congrats on 50k ma man,also inspiring me.

[@MrLemmy82]

In addition to the stuff you listed, I'm pretty fond of Tanimura's long battle in the docks, it's a cool area to fight through with some neat setpieces, Tanimura's style is fun to use to take down these enemies, and Material Delights is a banger!

[@Batfyre]

I really like the final long battle in infinite wealth. It was a very fitting finale for a character who is fighting one last time. And also The Four and End of Denial slaps.

The soundtrack at lower levels of millenium tower is an awful dubstep remix that made me almost kill myself

[@DanielFerreira-ez8qd]

@@lisek0205 we don't like you either

[@lisek0205]

@@DanielFerreira-ez8qd sound mixing is also dogshit, you can barely hear the soundtrack during battles

[@Volvagia1927]

I kind of prefer Kasuga's island one, but the Millennium Tower one is close and I get it getting a nod as it is, potentially, the final usage of that setting for a big fight. Game 9 is probably going to need an Ijincho equivalent (hopefully something SUPER Spencer Mansion-y to better fit the full RPG vibe of Ichiban), because his third game should have a final dungeon/long battle in his new stomping grounds.

[@residentevil4iguess]

playing the Yakuza 3 Touto Hospital long battle for the first time made me ascend to the 4th dimension cause the theme went SO HARD

[@JudgmenTaichi]

Can't wait for LAD Pirate's long battle involving full-scale naval combat, culminating in a 1v1 on a shipwreck that ends with Majima drowning and waking up in Okinawa or something.

[@supson16]

I don’t think I’ve ever felt more hype in a game than reaching the last long battle in Lost Judgment. Quite literally peak gaming.

[@billcipher147]

The entire finale of Lost Judgment was just PEAK RGG. Hype, an incredible combat section with THE best combat in the series, banger tracks, tying up all plot threats and character arcs, strong thematic moments and one of the best final bosses in the entire franchise. Basically everything you'd want from a Yakuza finale and then some.

[@hunteroflegendarymemes5827]

But what about Sawa-Sensei ?!

[@pseudochel]

in 3, when the piano part in clay doll in the cradle kicked in it was euphoric; that whole battle is one of my favorite memories of playing a yakuza game. it’s also my favorite track in the entire franchise. i also like District 5 long battle a lot.

[@captaincube132]

I remember Shoji saying in an interview before IW dropped that Clay Doll was the song he assigned new composers to give them an idea of the series' sound

[@bumby4737]

one of my favorites is the theater long battle in chapter 11 of infinite wealth, it starting out in the construction site, fight those bum ass excavators, and then my favorite part is when the gang gets split up and you basically fight 2 battles at the same time, wish we saw more of that in the game.

[@soulofwolf9906]

I legitimately had a religious experience upon hearing Recieve and Believe You for the first time

[@AdApT3Rx]

Fr amen

[@kinsmanne98]

Yakuza 4 Kamuro Hills mentioned. If you catch me at any given moment I am most likely thinking about Yakuza 4 OST ~ Solitude

[@Mishechka_]

Kenzan's final long battle is really good

[@kierano7698]

I think my favourite will always be Yakuza 4 Kamuro Hills. Solitude is so good and whether or not you like the inclusion of Kiryu in the story, it does feel pretty cool to bust out the big guns and just rampage through the whole area with Grey Yakuza. Solitude is such a banger.

[@AdApT3Rx]

Solid one

[@ChiefSuperIntendedBacon]

8:16 While most music tracks from Kiwami 2 don't have an official name, the most common/popular names for the final long battle themes are: "Heading for Kamurocho Hills" - during the fights in Kamurocho "Elevator of Knifes" - during the Jingweon group fight at Kamurocho Hills "Ceiling of Needles" - during the last fight with The Man in Black

[@Hezzadude12]

I think the Castle from Gaiden and the final long battle from LJ are the peak of the series. They’re so good. Especially the LJ one - Yagami just decides to have infinite stamina and literally fight hundreds of dudes just to take down Soma and Kuwana. It’s awesome. Great video and congrats on 50k!

[@PhoenixDowned]

Receive and Believe You was instantly a banger in my mind but End of Denial crept up on me and I do actually like it now.

[@MikeJr9284]

The Sengoku Castle long battle in Yakuza 2/Kiwami 2 was quite the long battle. Kiryu was out here fighting ninjas, samurai and tigers just moments after getting stabbed in the stomach.

[@milicabojic9434]

FF 16 really do clear everything huh

[@Brassrain0su]

catwalk battle in IW wins the style reward though

[@chubbynutz]

Catwalk battle best ost

[@5persondude]

RGG’s neglect of Kamurocho Hills is a war crime

[@TMOComedyy]

12:56 so glad you pointed this out, it's been bugging me how the tension of long battles is kind of broken in the rpg games because of the constant switches into combat

[@brokeoutlaw3195]

Yakuza kiwami's funeral long battle will be amazing to me. Kiwami was my first yakuza game and it's where I noticed how phenomenal the soundtrack was. Get over it slaps and I'm glad it was reused a few more times throughout the game

[@heyitz_ch3rriez]

the peronsa 5 last surprise bit made me laugh and wheeze so bad i almost fell off my chair, thanks for making my day man holy shit

[@theduckkritz]

you know its a going to be a good day when snowiest uploads. Well its currently night for me. So gdnight (congrats on the 50k!)

[@slippinsam]

You putting Final fantasy XVI at the end of a lot of your videos actually convinced me to get the game 19 days ago and I cannot thank you enough because it is PEAK GAMING

[@Milty2001]

Lost judgment's finale battles were peak i remember taking my time with the game and when i reached the end game i was blown away by how the soundtrack was a banger

[@_s3raph1m_20]

This guy needs to upload more

[@autismpossum]

this video is such a Truth Nuke

[@amberhernandez]

Me thinking the Judgment Soleil long battle (the Cane Man one) would actually get a spotlight:

[@redstonepixels]

Hey Snowiest, I finished FF16 today.... I am not gonna emotionally recover from it. Clive is one of the best characters ever written. I love when he said "The only fantasy here is yours. And we shall be its final witness!" at the end of the final fight.

[@bedeyboy]

Been waiting for this video king 🍯🍯🍯

[@treharewood288]

I never knew the community called them long battles. My head cannon name for these sequences was always rampage battles.

[@Mohammed1000real]

Long battles is truly awesome everytime!!

[@gameparty-yt7290]

the first long battle in y0 was definitely one of the main things that got me so invested in the franchise as a whole especially with t u s k playing the whole time but i gotta admit i do have somewhat of a soft spot for judgements final long battle because i love destination and also because every night when i go to sleep i dream of the day that rgg says fuck it we ball and remasters judgement with either lj or hell even judgement 3s combat system so that i can experience that long battle again without the dissapointment of knowing how good the combat could have been

[@Toastman30K]

you just reminded me I have Lost Judgment in my library, i need to play peak, on god

[@Skorpion._]

No mahjong long battle?!

[@uoal227]

Yakuza fans are not ready for that my man.

[@toptricksandtips.1460]

Yakuza 0’s long battle really sucks you into the game to get you to continue playing

[@lhfirex]

Lost Judgment's final long battle annoys me because it's so much better than the rest of the game. Wish they'd actually put that level of effort into the rest of the story and its battles. Also wish 95% of the story battles were against someone besides RK because by that point they felt like a joke after kicking the shit out of them all game.

[@zinkpopovitch9519]

The worst one was Judgement. Who was Cane man??!?

[@RakastanPorkkanakakkua]

I live for that final fantasy XVI ending joke

[@irsyadiaryadiva9430]

Best Long Battles in every Yakuza games (spoilers obviously): 0: Majima storming the Tojo Clan HQ 1: Rescuing Reina and Shinji 2: Fighting Jingweon Mafia at Kamurocho street 3: Towards the top of the Touto Hospital 4: Towards the top of Kamuro Hills 5: Same as above 6: Before facing Someya 7: True Millenium Tower Ishin: Edo Castle Judgment: Before facing Kuroiwa for the last time Lost Judgment: Warehouse raid Gaiden: Facing Daidoji Agents 8: Kiryu and the gang storming Millenium Tower

[@HunterForHire422]

Off the top of my head for my favorites Yakuza 5s final bit where you jump between the characters and can choose most of yakuza 0 yakuza 2 final tower. (Yakuza 2 combat with the kiwami 2 track is my preference) yakuza 6s Find Yuta section Gaiden Boat escape Lost Judgments final level OH! And kurohyou 1. I love the climb at the end of that game

[@rubik7336]

I know they are not exactly "long battles", but those segments in Kurohyou where enemies just kept spawning after defeating some of them were usually sick, especially the truck section and the final Millenium Tower segment in 2

[@Rolo1507]

Honestly it's hard choice in between long battle for millenium tower yakuza 6, millenium tower yakuza 8, long battle hospital yakuza 3 and dojima family office yakuza 0

[@yuduleya7844]

tl;dw the millenium tower is so fucking cool

[@dyno2506]

Lost judgement's final long battle has to be one of my favourite levels in any game ever. The hype I felt in that section was unreal.

[@jffj1425]

Last suprise is peak

[@MCitechLight]

gokudonis gonna HATE the last 2 minutes of this video

[@ShadowThe771]

There’s too many amazing long battles for me to list, but off the top of my head: Millennium Tower 2016 from 6 Kamurocho Hills 2012 from 5 The Warehouse from Lost Judgment The Final Dojima HQ battle from 0.

[@CRAZYWIZARD]

goated snowiest fiery guy

[@MisterLuba]

That's the one thing that's really missing from the newer games in my opinion - these "classical" long fights. Super long, huge, larger than life fights with several short cutscenes and a number of QTEs in between. They were completely over the top, sometimes fairly frustrating (looking at you instant death QTEs), but I loved every last one of them. In the newer games, even the big fights have felt pretty small to me. Also, the music was much cooler in some of the older games (The music for the Goda fight in Kiwami 2 remains unrivaled).

[@Lex-vg1hr]

I just started playing FF16 you're not wrong peak peak peak

[@bjhale]

No mention of Like A Dragon Gaiden? I thought the party boat long battle was pretty cool. I liked how vertical a lot of it was.

[@altitudelimit]

I need you to know I bought FF16 solely because of your bit and the end of your videos

[@ThijsVanAmstel]

Long battles are my fav

[@garretwoeller7669]

Im glad someone like Y8 final fight the ichinan boss fight was weak but that one the true final boss is awesome

[@klaus.sfc01official30]

Hear me out. Akiyama gaiden, but instead of like the castle or madlantis we get an explorable kamurocho hills. Make it happen RGG. Please.

[@emiljansson02]

Does Kiryu fighting a whole army in Yakuza 5 count as a long battle? Either way, I love that bit

[@AdApT3Rx]

50k lets go

[@talkingluiggi3006]

my favourite long battle is chapter 9 in kiwami on legend

[@theultimatebusta]

FINAL FANTASY 16 SWEEP BABY

[@smugcat8248]

yo this is not related to the video at all but thanks for telling me about ff16 I bought it in the steam sale and its amazing

[@RubyFridays]

Skipping over the hype as all hell first two judgment long battles?? Shame! Threads of sin is such a banger track, and fits so well for those first two! Of course we can't forget about the cane man

[@DYLANROLLS]

Y6 HOTEL RAID

[@moustafaabousalem1411]

I honestly miss the old style of Long battles, where it is just a continuous battle with no interruptions. I wasn't really a big fan of the long battles that had you fight a group of enemy, go to the standard gameplay, then move to the next room, then combat gameplay and then repeat. i feel like the flow of the long battle gets ruined like that. I think Gaiden got it right in some long battles where you are just punching doors open, moving to the next horde of enemies with no breaks between.

[@optimus27000]

Ace Combat videos when?

[@literallysnake]

I will not tolerate Kiwami 2 praise but long battles are awesome

[@AdApT3Rx]

I will

[@keithvandorn]

The community calls them “long battles”? Have we never heard of a “gauntlet” (which is what I call them and is more accurate)?

[@NoForksGiven]

OMG i didn't realise long battles were were Yakazer games turning into a Beat Em Up. I keep hearing people call the series a Beat Em Up but I've always saw it as more of just an open world action game. Now it all makes sense 🤯

[@SirBigWater]

This guy, shilling Lost Judgement yet again! (And I'm okay with that because it's great).
