You'll never win the button mash contest if you're at a disadvantage. There's a meter at the top in between the health bars that starts out even but during the match it can change based on actions and if you're at a disadvantage, you will never win it.

I'm definitely doing better on Rush than any other stance, though the knockdown is the really annoying thing - I might have to go spend some time farming up gear with Majima and a fat stack of cash first.

I didn't notice any timing and just pressed Circle after dodging normally. The key is you have to be in 2nd Heat (it doesn't work in 3rd) and and your dodge has to be somewhat near your target.

Big thank you to whomever mentioned the Zap Gun as the key to Mr Shakedown fights. I am farming him as Majima because I don't particularly care for the cabaret minigame and it is both simple and hilarious to have a giant man challenge you to a fist fight, run around shooting him in the chest, and then get 60 million yen.

However I am annoyed with the weapon agents. I have sent the Spy (best available agent) to Area 51 like 6 times with millions of extra yen and have yet to hit that 40% chance of him finding the cannon.

Missed the afro guy on the shooting scene, was almost tempted to fail the mission to get the trophy.

I didn't play either one, but I watched heat moves compilations of both today, I'd say go for Kenzan because it looks really early PS3 and it could be hard to play it after tasting Ishin if you play it on PS4. It also look brutal as gently caress and playing as Miyamoto Musashi (spoiler just in case) would be extremely my poo poo. I wish they had an occidental release :(

I've kicked people into the river over bridge railings a ton with Heat from grapples, but I never stopped to look at what it was called. Now I'm curious even though I haven't exactly been trying for 100% completion.

But I remember the fella who told me. Big lad. Arms as thick as oak trees, a stunning collection of scars, nice eye patch. A REAL therapist he was. Er wait. Maybe it was rapist?


Holy poo poo I just finished the game. The main story was so good. That scene at the end with Majima encountering Makoto was so bittersweet.The character's starting to look like their later series selves at the end was also real good and the ending slides were a nice touch as well. God damnit this game is great.

I only played Yakuza 3 before this and boy am I keen on continuing. It's just too bad Kiwami isn't out yet. It'll be weird jumping back to four after that, even though I know what happens in 1 & 2 due to the story summaries in later games.

You have to beat the Leisure King. It sort of treats it like a tutorial thing. After that, you can go after the other areas except for the last King's

You have to defeat the Leisure King first before the rest open up. Just keep buying and investing; it shouldn't take too much time.

Edit: Beaten. I'll take a look at Kenzan after wrapping up.

Nah. You can invest as many times as needed to S rank. You just can't invest in an individual property more than once per pay period.

Your ultimate goal is to get 90% completion, that's when you can fight the King and take over his region.

roughly the scale appears to be about he such for completion:

Owning a D-Rank property - 5%
Owning a C-Rank property - 6%
Owning a B-Rank property - 8%
Owning a A-Rank property - 10%
Owning a S-Rank property - 12%

(note that upgrading only gives you the difference, i.e. upgrading a Rank D to a Rank C only increases your total by 1%)

Money battles add 1% if you win

Fighting off trouble makers is 1%

At 60% you'll be invited to a minigame challenge (varies by King). Winning this challenge is a flat +10%, Losing is a flat -10%. No deeds change hands.

At worst you need to own 9 properties to make it to the King.

If you got the Smooth Criminal Trophy in this playthrough, Harumi should already be on the club's roster. She's one of the extra girls that Odyssey sends over with Noizomi if Majima completely nails their situation. (The other two are Kiara and Ume who are Bronze tier)
