As in Kiryu is one of the most infamous, arguably dangerous man in Kamurocho, and Majima is the only man who can hold his own against him in a fight, and get back up on his feet laughing as if he didnt just get his brain rattled in his skull by that mans Iron Fists

after playing the underground fights in yakuza 0 as majima. this feels like when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. but for the plot majima has to lose sadly. personally, i think majima's mad dog style is superior to kiryu's dragon of dojima but he holds back because he sees his former self in kiryu and hates to see him go down the same path that made him to be as psychopathic as he became

Imma have to agree with xellosdarkslayer here. I don't find it too much as a problem. Just a slight nitpick. I loved the unique auras. Especially Ryuji's.
