I like how you didn’t miss a single step and the crowd still shits on you at the end

a 57 combo in a 55 step song? he really is a miracle!

I looked it up. There is NO way to beat MJ. Someone modded the game on pc to win and he still lost. Its because Japan loves and respects Michael Jackson (Miracle is based off of him), and now that he's passed, they honored him with this mini game where you can never beat him. It's not the player, the mini game is scripted to always have you lose no matter what.

Michael Jackson looks an awful lot like Miracle Johnson.

I actually like that Kiryu can't win here. Not because I'm such a Michael Jackson fan, but simply because I believe it humanises Kiryu even more. He's great at A LOT of things. He's the best fighter in the world, can cook, is a good model car racer, is good at solving puzzles and mysteries, is a great father figure, a good friend, can sing and dance like a god and so much more. But in some things, there are people better than him and some things he can't do well. It makes him a more rounded figure.

Everyone talking about how MJ is unbeatable and im just here admiring Kiryu doing MJs wacky moves at the beginning.

Can we talk about Kiryu's cursed "wOo" at the beginning?

Kiryu's rank translated is "Disco King" Miracle's is translated to "King of pop" That's some fun detail and tribute, haha

Michael Jackson was the King of Pop. Having him being unbeatable in this mini game is a nice little tribute to him. Long live the King baby

My one regret is that dancing with Miracle isn't repeatable, even if we'll always lose. At least the Pocket Circuit racers can be fought repeatedly after its completion, but we'll never be able to dance with the Popstar Prince after this. But hey, at least he's a _damn good_ real estate advisor!

So Miracle is unbeatable, here's why: In the game, a hit is worth 50 points, then you add 10 per additional step you make before the hit: Edit:0 steps (the true minimum): 40 points 1 step (minimum): 50 points 2 steps: 60 points 3 steps: 70 points 4 steps: 80 points ... 9 steps (maximum): 130 points Then as the combo gets higher you earn additional points: 1 combo: 0 additional points 2 combo: 2 additional points 3 combo: 4 additional points 4 combo: 6 additional points 5 combo: 8 additional points 6 combo and higher: 10 additional points What makes this game impossible is the fact that no matter how many steps Miracle does, he always gets the maximum amount of points possible, while Kiryu would need to do 9 steps for every hit (which is clearly impossible if your name is not Dio). That's why Miracle's points go like:130>262>396>532>670>810>950 then adds 140 points every hit (130+10) Finally, a difference noticable in the video is the combo, which is higher for Miracle, this simply could be explained by the fact that H1s6n did not activate the fever immediately which was surely why 2 combos passed during that small margin of time. TLDR: Miracle's the king of pop and you simply can't defeat him, period.

fun fact: MJ worked with SEGA because of Sonic 3

0:07 I love how Kiryu 'HO!' it makes me laugh!

That was good stuff, but I was blown away by how much steps he put in.

You can't beat the king of pop

He’s unmatched in the game just like he was in real life.

I like how it’s impossible to lose to Miracle Johnson due to his popularity and dance skills. Points matter on what the audience thinks of the performance and showing it’s impossible to lose meaning that the audience of course would be biased to Miracle Johnson, because of his popularity even over seas

Wonder how this would look if they did this in TAS.

that was crazy, good stuff

Kinda wish they gave MJ his signature moves in this dance-off because it would totally explain why you would never be able to beat him.

Every time I got thrashed in a dance battle it made me mad. But I was actually happy with this outcome and that was before I even knew that Miracle is literally programmed to be unbeatable.

>implying you ever had a chance at beating MJ at a dance off. Might as well pick a fistfight with Mt Everest.

It's like Miracle Johnson cheated. First button same score even u do more step.

You know, I ain't even MAD that MJ is unbeatable. Odds are for a lot of people it's the introduction to the dancing minigame; it could almost be seen as the tutorial. And hell, after MJ wins, he doesn't gloat or mock Kiryu: he was just happy to get to dance with a bro. And then, he gives Kiryu another box to open, AND becomes an advisor for the real estate mini-game. By the way, this was my second Yakuza game (After LaD), and I'm considering playing all the games in chronological order. And so far, Yakuza 0 is a blast. :)

For me you're still a winner.

Miracle Johnson just beat it. He didn't let himself be defeated

Media King: I'm the best dancer in "Yakuza 0". Miracle Johnson: Hold my fedora.

My god he’s dressed as robotnik

This actually fits with the theme of the Disco side-stories; that even if you do win, there will always be somebody better

Love that they actually give some respect to him.. if this was anywhere else (not naming) it be more he's a joke

Great skill!

I just love how even though the steps before each beat caps at 9, miracle adds and extra 5 or so just to show off

There's a lot of angry people whining how you can't beat Miracle Johnson. Some people just can't take the L, I guess.

Being black gives you TAS

I already knew this was a unwinnable beforehand. He's the prodigy of dance.

Miracle simply gets maximum score for any button no matter what (that is base 40 score, then 90 score from supposed maximum 9 steps and +0\2\4\6\8\10 score depending on the combo), doesn't matters how many actual steps he takes, though for some reason he is still influenced by the combo system, thus gains maximum 140 points per button only starting from the 6th one. Not sure about Easy and Normal, but on Hard it's physically impossible to get maximum score for each button because many of them disappear too early to make 9 steps. So yeah, even theoretically it's not possible to beat him without cheats (and even with them since Miracle has no losing dialogue), at best you will just get the same score as him because he never misses. The only theoretical non-cheat win I can think of, and i'm still not sure if it's possible, is that maybe if you can get unhuman skill, then make max steps for each button not missing any on Easy, and get more than 800 points during Michael's Dancing Fever(s) since successful DF always gives you 800 points.

I always think it's epic how you do the combo on the best part of the song

I originally wanted to see a TAS run of the disco in Yakuza 0. Then I got to the Miracle Jackson side story and got my wish: Fuck he’s good.

Although you have more steps than him, MJ will always get the score awarded for a 9-step move each time he connects a move, even if it was a 0-step move. With that being said, MJ's score is theoretically the max score you can get on this song provided you use a TAS to get 9-step moves everytime.

I SWEAR TO GOD THIS IS THE ONLY GAME THAT HAS ENJOYABLE SIDEQUESTS

Kiryu's lower-octave wHoO! Plagues me at the most inopportune times. Jfc! It's so simple, so ridiculously funny! 😂😂😂

Michael Jackson and SEGA are like the Best of the 90's

I really enjoyed the sidequests involving mj I loved that he got a little mini adventure in the game rip to the king of pop nice disco moves btw

This is BEAUTIFUL.

I remember the first time going up against MJ i thought if i tried beating him i might unlock him as a playable character or unlock his outfit, but then i realized that I'm scripted to lose to him, i still appreciate that he's the king of pop

No one beats the Prince of Pop baby! Woo!

That version of Michael's Thriller jacket looks a lot like a certain egg-shaped mad scientist...

Shit. I was hoping that with the PC release coming soon, someone could TAS a win. But the fact is even at 9 steps you get less points per correct button press compared to MJ who seems to always go for 6 steps between each hit. Thus, even if someone TAS to the point of 9+ steps per press, MJ would still get more points. Oh well. Great job on your part, but alas it wasn't meant to be.

This song resembles "Bad". I mean, it takes place back in the 80s. Glad the developers decided to do something to give a tribute to the late King of Pop. A ton of song references such as "Thriller", "Beat It", "Bad", " The Way You Make Me Feel", "You Rock My World", " Don't Stop Till You Get Enough", "Smooth Criminal", etc.

Well, it is fair. It is the true disco king. You cannot beat THE dance itself.

nice try

it would have been cool if even when Kiryu loses they cheer for Kiryu for at least giving it his all against the king of pop

1:25 what that miracle johnson next level step.

Michael Jackson FTW. He can never be defeated and rightfully so

Top 10 Anime Crossovers

Two things Kazuma Kiryu can't beat: Miracle Johnson and Lung Cancer.

U got ur ass served ahaha. That is a cool song I wonder who sings it

Holy shit, you really CANT beat him I mean, it does makes sense He is the king, after all

I got destroyed by MJ (something like 7500 vs 11000), so I was wondering if there was some mad lad out there who had managed to defeat him. But going by the comments I guess you simply can't beat the King of Pop. XD

Thank god I came to this video to know that he was unbeatable, he was the first one that I had to go against to disco battle, and I didn’t even know how to disco battle since it was my first time, so I thought that you could win, but then at the same time, it’s MIRACLE JOHNSON we’re going against here.

0:14 “Oh? You’re approaching me?”

It’s interesting how you can get a perfect run on this mode but you can lose due to the game rigging the score in Miracle’s favor

I've actually got it down to a science of how many steps i would do for every input to max out my steps, and everytime miracle would be just 1 step over me

That's really impressive. I find disco really fun, I wish there was a more expanded version of it, like a similar thing as a full game.

nobody: Michael Johnson: soft *HEEHEE*

If this was magima it would be a different story lets be real here.

Miracle jackson does cheated, because every hit they consider him as max 9 combo even though he does fewer. The only way maybe to beat him is maybe to time the 4 way combo perfectly during the period where normally no buttons will be hitted. However, I even think they consider those button as pressed for miracle jackson despite not reaching them

i even use a trainer for pc version score is 99999 and you cant beat him he is the king no one can beat him R.I.P. m.j

Best dancer in japan vs Best dancer in the world *Long live the king of pop*

Miracle Johnson is too good to be defeated by someone like you 8)

that ain't Micheal Jackson, that miracle johnson the greatest dancer in the world

Watching MJ’s AI pop off is fun

You can't beat people who die like the best but i don't care if i'm gona lose i want MJ to defeat me! Such a honor!

My first playthrough I genuinely just stopped and watched Miracle go at a certain point. Kiryu might be a fighter, but I just KNEW he wasn't winning this particular battle.

Fpr one side, Sega sure as hell could have get the rights of one of Micheal's hits from the 80's and put it into the game, but by the other, they parodying him and making a whole ass 80s pop song just to homage is somewhat even more funny and respectful for him

Samurai!

It's so neat he's unbeatable.

goddamn! Can you complete my Perfectionist trophy(disco&karaoke only)? I'm pretty bad at rhythm games!

I did the impossible I didn't even try because I know how much of a legend he is

I wish Miracle to return in a sub story

How dare they boo you when you did the dance perfectly and then some.

Here I was, thinking that i'm pretty good in disco after defeating the Media King

Let's dance!! 😎

Kiryu beat his bodyguard outside before dancing, he is a bit tired no wonder he couldnt beat Miracle and also it was programmed that way. Still enjoyed it tho.

Watching this guy play makes me jealous. I can never fucking get the heat moves right. Like, it annoys me so much lol. Then i remind myself that "OH wait, why tf am I getting so riled up about a mini game in this crime thriller?".

How do you get his sub story I only got the music video one so far

He looks like Bruno Mars

That guy looks a lot like Space Michael from Space Chanel 5

This is the most aggressive iv ever seen someone play this game

alternate kiryu saga where after the events of yakuza 0 kiryu spends 6 games training to beat miracle johnson in a dance battle

Why is Japanese 'Michael Jackson' dancing so strangely? (The same way the player is moving.)

Even if you beat Miracle, you actually still lose lol

That’s Miracle

Nice moves Kiryu. But you can't beat the King of Pop.

i love this song

Who's this Michael Jackson dude? This is clearly Miracle Johnson! (for all the people typing angry messages, I know who Michael Jackson is, this was a JOKE)

Sooooooooooooo you thought you could own Prince of Pop on his OWN single ! You fool !

Golden ✨

Could anyone tell me what is original of 0:02-0:03 sound effect? I just can't find it by googling "sword\shuriken\katana clang\clash". I know that It is from some sort of "Chanbara"\"Wuxia" - movies, but still can't find good clear sound samples.

Got the title of the video misspelled, this is actually miracle Johnson
