Yagami is OP

The intro was a reference to my Joon-gi Han is OP video. But no seriously RGG Studio when I asked for better balancing I didn't expect you to make all three styles insanely powerful lol.
Joon-gi Han was the first OP playable character: • Yakuza: Like a Dragon ...
Songs:
Tekken 7 - Equator Line, Pt. 1
Tekken 7 - Arctic Snowfall, Pt. 2
Hey guys can you tell I like the Tekken soundtracks yet???

[@SnowiestAngeman]

I ended up cutting it from the video because I couldn't show it too well but the Secret Arts of the Tiger is also a very crazy attack buff considering how easy it is to get it. The Secret Arts are pretty identical to the special moves in Kiwami 1 but to get them they don't consume all of your heat like you literally just need to dodge an attack or something like bruh. Would also like to apologise for the text at 0:13 as Premiere just decided it'd be funny to mistime my keyframes so the text faded in at the wrong time lol. Not gonna re-render the video too because that section had 6 4K videos layered on top of each other so my computer had a heart attack trying to render it. But enjoy the video regardless :)

[@NinjaWarotMCph]

Actually the Tiger Arts temporarily increase your attack damage if you land a charged blow. The "Secret of" abilities lets you reset the buff timer of that style buff if you trigger the Hidden Arts of another style. I think it also stacks.

Imo Tiger in LJ isn't as clean as Crane or Snake but it doesn't matter considering how much damage it shits out

RGG was basically like "so ummm guys, Tiger style was kinda OP in Judgment... What should we do to fix it this time?" and literally decided to make them all just as OP as each other. That's what I call some extremely entertaining game balancing. Nice video man.

[@__bepis____bepis__308]

I’m very glad they made the changes they did (not just making Crane useleful, but as another commenter stated, making every style overpowered) it reminds me alot of Yakuza 0 combat, not because of style switching but because every style is so good you can start and end any combat encounter without feeling like you have to, but they shine when you start combining the properties if each. Stack agony on every enemy, then apply Snakes hidden arts to not get knocked down, then swap to crane to sweep the now unable to dodge crowds, and then apply crane’s hidden arts for the attack speed boost, swap to tiger to mop up the rest and mainting buffs, and that’s just the surface Peak combat in my opinion

[@alarminglyfastmovingskelet7289]

Lost Judgment's combat is great but it reminds me a lot of Yakuza 0 where the abilities provided so much depth that you never actually got to experience just because everybody died so quickly.

I did think it wasn't so braindead since I played on Easy, but then I started my Legend playthrough earlier today (only trophy left) and uh... ok it's braindead compared to the first one.

[@SnowiestAngeman]

Nah it makes it easy but not brain dead because the enemies can still hit you really hard and if you intentionally don’t get health upgrades or equip good gear you can make it more challenging. Hard and Legend are same as always but bleeding destroys your health in this game which like 90% of the enemies can make you bleed haha. The game also has A LOT of abilities for when you’re at low health so it encourages you to actually fight at low health a lot which has its obvious risks

SPOILERS I'd argue kiryu as towards the end of lost judgement Yagami needed 4 of buddies to defeat 100 rk members while kiryu was able to defeat 100 tojo members by himself. As for majima he's pretty close to kiryu's level

[@zipherfoxhound571]

Canon-wise, Kiryu and Saejima are the league of their own, they are inhuman. But Yagami is around the peak of normal human. I would put Yagami around Shinada and Tanimura's level. Maybe they are a bit above him since they don't get mortal wound. But in the end, character's canon strength is whatever the plot demand at the moment. That's why Saejima can beat a demon bear barehanded in one moment, and get tied down by simple ropes in another moment.
