oh my lord, i interpreted that one so badly

Yeah, it was why i didn't do many side quests, especially the cabbaret

i can never get the timing down for his song's fast part man

I recall Miracle Johnson scoring 15k on me lol

could be higher though

duality of men

God made Majima, a perfect being

Not sure Majima is an imperfect being tho..

Yet is not enough to beat Miracle...

I know it is possible to get decently higher, I just can't recreate this consistently enough to actually get up there. Not sure what the actual highest possible score is but it easily goes above 10200. Maybe one day we'll get to see a 10250 from me or someone else.

nvm as a followup to what I said someone got a 10260 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qticgZqYv6m0ZoU.html might pick up the game again to see if I can hit 10300

That's nice to hear. How has your disco been going?

@@notyouravstalin8802 he hasn't started yet

bro is gonna become the disco queen

@@burning_mat5307 I did indeed, become the disco queen.

lorewise, it already had been

Tbh he is more depressed in this than the others

He was tortured before 0 starts

....Holy Shit, Kiryu chan!?

I agree, getting near perfect scores gets kinda painful at times though.

It really isn't that bad tbh, I got the hang of it rather quickly. Just takes a little bit of getting used to.

@@notyouravstalin8802 Precisely. Yakuza 5 was such a refreshing breeze when it comes to dance shit like this lmao

@notyouravstalin8802 controller is cemented into my motor function lol, it's just easier except for games I specifically learned on K+M like portal and portal 2

Well, the game lets you know right from the get go what real Yakuzas use :P

Its really easy with a kb and mouse, you can change the controls anyway. For me playing this minigame with a gamepad was harder.

thank you! I might try for 10300 soon when I get some more free time

real yakuza have the money to afford a game pad

Real madlads use a keyboard and mouse

Real yakuza use an usb steering wheel

Real Yakuza use the Wii Fit Balance Board

Real Yakuza can’t play with gamepads because the cops caught them as they made off with the gamepad they took at gunpoint. (That was a joke; gun laws in Japan are strict as all hell).

what?

ngl I had to look up who she was because I beat her first try and forgot

all it takes is a bit of dedication, it's in large part just practicing the song.

@@notyouravstalin8802 My computer might also need a bit of a boost haha

10 straight hours of disco should be criminal

@@notyouravstalin8802 lmao

I'd assume they made that decision because some of the parts let you get insane steps which would lead to hilarious point inflation but I wouldn't know. I mainly just take more than 9 steps to maintain my flow.

If the game lags, it will drop inputs like crazy. When it lags, you are lucky to get our three or four movement inputs per second no matter how hard you mash. For some reason, the developers chose to discontinue the ingenious feature of adaptive detail dropping, meaning it would drop details if your system started to chug. Yakuza 0 is the laggiest "Kiwami" engine (an unofficial nickname, featured in Y5, Y0 and YK1) game hands down and it lacks a proper content caching features, leading to pointless loading of same contents and over again no matter how much RAM you have. Oh and different game segments in Like a Dragon games are handled by different developers, so the optimization quality and performance varies a lot between them.

@@ihavenoson3384 I don't think I've ever experienced the game lagging. What platform were you playing it on?

@@HerecomestheCalavera PC. The PC version has all kinds of issues. Some people cannot even launch the game because it instantly crashes. You can have have a desktop PC with a powerful GPU and it will can still stutter like no tomorrow if it feels like it. This is probably because of some for-console optimization that tries to pull the max CPU usage out of the console-specific setup. It happens randomly too. Yakuza 0 was originally made for the Japanese PS3 and PS3 required some really weird programming to get the multicore processor to give any juice. It would not surprise to hear that that code is still in the PC port. The PC port had a lot of issues on launch. Stuff like missing effects who knows what. After extensive patching, it is not perfect. The game tries to mask the lagging in a way that means the game state portrayed in the graphics is behind the actual game state, meaning you get shown stuff like button prompts half a second late. This is not unique to Yakuza 0. It is about how these games are cobbled together from parts made by different sub-teams. The one doing the dance and karaoke sequences tends to be particularly callous about optimization. Add in the general lack of PC-specific optimization and you will get a very F'd up experience.

it really isn't that bad tbh, though I've never tried with a gamepad so I wouldn't know how it feels

​@@notyouravstalin8802you don't really need it for the minigames, but I find it better for the actual fights

I've spent years on kb+m so I'm not really sure how it would feel for most people, however what I can say is that my fingers were moving so much faster than they usually do that they started feeling extremely light, sort of how people feel with butterflies in their stomach but in the fingers.

Doesn't he only get like 6k?

@@notyouravstalin8802nope, his(Ogita’s) score is super random af…one moment it is as low as 6k the next it is like 9k which is why I was stuck on his dance battle for 5 days and not just that, his song is also super hard af. Why is it that that same dumb parody song has to be used over and over again? First the Media King then bloody Ogita. I am sick of doing that one song.

I am aware. The places I chose to fever gave better points overall. However I did mistime one of them by ~0.1 seconds and lost an extra key I could've had.

yes but I was under stress and would rather not risk losing the entire thing over 2 steps since missing one input kills the run. There are loads of optimizations that could be done like hitting the k around 1:20 a little faster so after the fever an extra input would spawn.

considering he literally cheats, no

@@notyouravstalin8802 I know, just thought it might be possible that you can beat him

It's not that bad tbh. If you are going after 3 star you don't even need to get anywhere close to this performance since the bar for 3 star is relatively low. Its just memorization and getting used to the controls really. I've managed to get 3 star with a bit of missed keys and broken combos too.

@@notyouravstalin8802 I can't even get over 5000 on any song, or do any of them on hard, the actual battles are impossible for me. Just annoys me how I can't fight either version of Amon just because of some crappy mini game. I learned to play Mahjong whilst playing Y0, that was way easier to do.

@@LyingSecret Aside from your route/strategy for the song it really all is just muscle memory, so all you can really do is go through the motions until you get it. It just takes some practice.

509 steps and yet the difference is so minor

@@think8736 maybe you missed a key somewhere, could also just be the game counting steps past 9 in the end screen but not for points not sure tbh

@@think8736 there's still a lot more room for improvement anyways assuming you got the same amount of keys as me since there's one I missed entirely by timing my second fever too late, if you manage to hit that key in the first fraction of a second or so it's available then fever it'll give you an extra key to use afterwards, let alone a lot of steps I could've taken that I didn't. the main reason I stopped doing this was for the sake of my mental health as I get frustrated easily, so if you're more committed than I you could reach 10300s maybe even 10400, not sure how high it goes but I'm fairly certain those are within reach

@@notyouravstalin8802 Yeah my fever timing sucks balls considering I got 509 steps on that play

Update: 10230

people really go way too hard on the keyboard controls, they aren't bad

@@notyouravstalin8802 its hard at first but now im doing death combos in kiwami with just keyboard and mouse.

Keyboard is amazing.
