Yakuza Skills That Serve ZERO PURPOSE

So there are a lot of skills and abilities across these games. Some of them go exceptionally hard, some are bad, and some are completely pointless. But not worthless 'cause, like, they can be good, but they're overshadowed by something that serves the same purpose only it does it better? Anyway you'll see what I mean.
But you know what's not pointless OR worthless? You. You have many points. And many people would say you're worth. You exist in this world for a reason, even if that reason is to just be yourself. No one is better at being you than you, so be proud of who and what you are. Unless your name is Dreaming Arrow.

In Y0 Majima has an ability to "sense when people are secretly wielding knives" but I have never in my life found an enemy who is secretly wielding a knife, and if they are. Why would I spend my time holding down the button every combat to see who secretly has a knife when I can just whoop their ass instead

That was something I mentioned in the second bad yakuza abilities video I did 'cause you could honestly activate it every battle and get maybe 1 in every 100 dudes having a knife.

@armedweiss5531 2 ай бұрын

Another reason could be because in Kiwami the Tiger Drop gets a massive damage debuff when you're in heat mode, and made Double Finishers drain heat to try to max out its damage. Or you could always just use one of the style buffs that drain all your heat for that

One point in twisting Viper's favor is availability. As great as Tiger and Crane's counters are, they only become available in the story very late game on your first playthrough. Now RGG knows that any Tiger Drop-esque move is extremely valuable and popular to use, so having a more niche counter move for most of the game before the end game true counters serves as a stop gap.

Imo Whip Service's use would be the fact that its a grapple + applies weapon attributes, which I found really useful when it came to Night Queen's 7 star weapon which has a chance to instakill, with a higher chance the lower the enemy's hp. If an enemy is guarding and I also have a chance to instakill, then why not? Even if it doesn't trigger the instakill the guard will be broken at least.

Judgement had it's own version of Komaki reversal for tiger and saying that it sucks is understatement.

For judgment in no upgrades crane does have a use in both clearing crowds (Vastly superior to tiger) and im not going to say all because I am unsure but square square triangle triangle in crane gurantees a knock down (can be blocked) where as tiger attack can knock down but people can withstand the knockdown sometimes which can get you killed due to the inconsistency. For Ishin each of the heat actions (spin stick or push button) count as a new heat action when you get the choice dealing the full heat damage which can be heat efficient as you ignore the repeated heat action less damage mechanic helping out sometimes. Still not useful but more useful than nothing. In general though agree with 99% of the points made. Great vid keep em coming!

There is a way to quickly throw out bombs. It's a bit wonky but, it happens to be the whole other usage of the Jet Boots. With the exception of drones, you can use other gadgets immediately in Serpent's Boost Mode. This means using boost to spam and litter the entire arena with cigarettes. And with the upgrade, you can immediately boost, throw a bomb with a single tap of square, and boost and another, and boost and another. However, it would be.. Highly impractical, since you'd only throw in the direction you're facing.

Here's one that's actually useless: Swordsman's stomp in Ishin Kiwami. In the original, you needed to use stomps or specific moves that have hitboxes that go low to the ground to hit prone enemies. However, in Ishin Kiwami you can do rush combos against enemies that are prone to the ground, which makes the stomp completely irrelevant. Even worse, is that you can charge the stomp but it doesn't do any extra damage whatsoever. Imagine of the charged stomp did a ground bounce or something? That would've been neat. Also, 0's heat system affecting combo speed is cool. I like it. Makes you have to choose between using heat for guaranteed damage or keeping it for attack speed or other moves.

If the turn-based games had enemies with counter/retaliation/deflect effects, that might dial back the area-spam brainrot. There would be situations where you DON'T want to hit everyone at once.

I actually spent waaaay more time in Agent because I felt considerably more overall mobile and like I could lock down a specific enemy in the 1v1s, esp. doing the whole arena, but it's fully possible that that's placebo.

The ex heat move I thought you were gonna say all of them were trash which I would have disagreed with (because I don't use attack upgrades anymore), but yeah no, the arm bar just ends up you getting hit. And the x one is only really just for looking fancy I guess 2. And the spider gadgets ones I would like to mention the basic one (where pull towards and hit with the arm) juggles... Which would be good since like the best ways to juggle is with a few yakuza ones and the ex kick counter into 2 ex attacks with agent...

In Yakuza 0 you have a Stance + Heavy attack parry for Majima's Thug style that is learned from Komaki. The timing window for this parry is way tighter than any other of it's kind imo, and I struggled for years to figure out why, especially since it can be upgraded to do more damage that also gives it a brand new animation. Majima's Thug style by default also comes with a heat action that can be triggered by Stance + Heavy. The use of this parry only came to me by accident as I was fucking around, trying to see how close of a call I can make with the chokeout heat action. If you fuck up the timing of the chokeout heat action, you can still perform the aforementioned parry, that's all the purpose it serves. In normal gameplay, it's effectively impossible to perform this parry, and it doesn't do enough damage on Mr Shakedowns to make it worth the chance of having your ass handed to you. It is very cool looking though, stylish points go there.

Is it possible that the heat gets obliterated at 13:20 because of it being the PC version? I recall 0, Kiwami and Kiwami 2 having a few random issues so maybe it's related somehow. Or not, idk.

@DerpySnake Ай бұрын

Also, I noticed that the heavy attack Ishin heat actions were worse than the full stick rotate ones - they just did less damage and often didn't hit multiple people, for example the sword slash or brawler grab one.

@cjyoung5635 Ай бұрын

An argument to be made for whip service is its a grab so it cant be block. Ichi having like 3 grabs in a row for his starter class always kinda felt weird till i fought kiryu and pretty much every grab crit after i got stomped 3 or 4 times using his hero class.

Went over Yakuza 0 without mentioning Majima's entirely useless counter attacks in Thug style. They're so slow and drain so much heat you might as well just stand still in front of a gun barrel and it would have the same effect as missing these counters by a milimeter.

in terms of forgot i would say probably any skill from the idol job that isn't a heal or a revive

@sweatyapenipples8281 2 ай бұрын

The idol class has been my go to class for Saeko in both games. Not only is it the best healing class, but it can give debuffs and charm as well. Lovedrunk typhoon has the ability to charm multiple enemies at once, which can be very useful, and if paired with an ally who has any sort of electrical attack, you can use playful splash to lower electric resistance and then use an electric attack for huge damage. Very useful for taking down enemies with large health pools or high defense.

@SnowiestAngeman 2 ай бұрын

I know what you mean. It doesn't help that because it's so magic focused, the physical skills it gets aren't very strong. But chuck those physical skills onto a stronger job and lemme tell ya, you're in for a wild ride. And also the debuffs can be pretty handy as the above comment by, uhh... Sweaty Ape Nipples 8281 says

@chuckfinley1501 2 ай бұрын

@@SnowiestAngeman I kinda lumped the debuffs in with the heals and revives because yeah the support skills are great, but while it's true you can get good damage out of the rest of the skills if u put them on saeko barmaid or something, why does a magic class have only physical attacks, why didn't they do something like with geodancer and make some of the attacks scale with magic or if they had no ideas put a lightning damage skill in there because those are sparce on the females if u didn't buy the dlc. It's far from the worst class though obviously it's just weird to me they gave a magic class a bunch of physical skills, but I geuss the class is more for healing anyway.
