Some of my favorite visual effects in the game is the slowmo when you defeat an opponent. There's nothing more satisfying than performing a red heat action and then watch the final hit connect in slow motion

Technically you can counter bosses' Heat combo(that's how I reference them since it's long heavy combos into heat action) with deathblows and parry(sometimes).
@@SnowiestAngeman I mean it depends on the timing for some boss's heat special move like the good ol' heat combo, dark souls' rolls, running man, tackle spam(that one military dude focus on destroying your torso), quickstep a lot then heat combo.
Final boss, Reiji, can have his sprint grab deflected by deathblow attack as long as the hit connects with upper body. Best for this is brawler drop kick.
I'm impressed this came out for psp. This looks so good! I remember there was supposed to be one for vita but it never came out but now I see there was one for psp.
This game literally and seriously deserves to be remade and be released on consoles. Both the first and second installments of Black Panther Like A Dragon New Chapter!!!
I love this game, my save data got deleted and I was close to the end so I’m kinda mad I wish I could’ve completed it, but this is a really great game on psp I love it
I've only seen this game through the soundtrack (which fucking slaps). I only got through chapter 1 on an emulator with the incomplete English patch so I can't wait to try this again with the new English patch in August.
@@eiichiroseI think they mean how ryoma uses kiryus character model, but it’s not actually supposed to be kiryu. That being said, Tatsuya is a completely different character from Nishiki, they just look the same. Unlike Ryoma, Tatsuya is already an existing character within rgg studios, so I agree with you in treating Kurohyō like ishin would be a bad move.
@@wantonjim3315 I'm fairly certain the guy meant that Nishiki's face fits better on Tatsuya than Mine's face (which is actually the face Tatsuya used on HD renders)
played it, really fun game and the fighting mechanics are really interesting, realistic even underrated is right. I think it's also the first ever time you play as a minor (second one being as Haruka)
makes sense the def jam devs worked on this, they really made a unique fighting game with ffny (and that game is basically counter: simulator, with almost all grabs and attacks being parryable)
I wish they would do some type of cinematic fight with these cameras and controls in future games but more polished of course. Like imagine you are in a major boss fight and with every hit the camera starts to shake, blood spills on the camera, and an injury system, with all of these adding weight to each hit. Think Kratos vs Zeus in part 1 of the Final Battle of GOW3 where it had that Mortal Kombat camera too, it would be cool to start that way and eventually go to more 3D environments as the battle continues.
just came here to comment this but it’s honestly so underrated - and i haven’t watched your retrospective in its entirety (probably won’t as i’m not sure if this video in its entirety is spoiler free😭) edit: no spoilers in the video!
K4L team made localisation patches for both games, Kurohyou 1 is on 1.2 version with pretty much everything translated, while Kurohyou 2 is on a 1.0 version with cabaret clubs and a few minigames lacking translation
Finally got around to finding my jailbroken psp, and playing this gem earlier today. They really used the psp to its fullest potential, im so mad they held it over in jp for so long.
I actually bought a PSP today just so im able to play both of them. Apart from the sick OST and everything you just showed me in this video, i do not know anything about this game. Cannot wait to play them and find out what theyre like. Ngl the thought of being able to play an RGG game from the coziness of my bed is also very alluring
I really enjoyed these games, and Def jam fight for ny is a pretty damn good 3d fighting game so it was cool to see more games with a similar gameplay. Also that catching thing happens a lot in Def Jam, which is where it came from.
Best part about this: there's literally not a single mention of Tatsuya being a black panther, his nickname is literally "Kamuro Kyo Ryu" or "Kamuro's Mad Dragon" Literally WHY is "Black Panther" a part of the name?
Even though it too caught the Blockuza bug (what with enemies with more developed styles and bosses), I still dig this game, not going to lie. Sure feels nice to try many different styles, even wonky as hell Weapon Mania (which is about the only style I'd rank lower than Dragon, my former least favorite of them all).
@logandunlap9156 kurohyou 2 combat has greatly improved since the first. You have combos that could break guard easily, knock enemies down with one hit, but keep in mind, enemies can be very counter heavy
@@drsamitch144Boxing really sucked for me in the first game and I started to get bored with relying on grabs, glad that Kurohyou 2 combat got better and boxing really felt satisfying now
Not only versus mode but it also has a co-op mode where you and your buddy can fight on a bunch of thugs and a character creator where you can unlock clothes/accessories by completing missions in multiplayer mode.
"As they all pretty much behave the exact same way." Alright, now use wild dance, then use pro wrestling, then use boxing, then lucha, then awakening, come to me, and say that again, with a straight face
i beat both games and enjoyed the story alot, i think the first game has a better story tho, I don't remember which but there's a side quest where you beat up fake kiryu
4:56 a lot of bosses can just be parried, perfect dodged, or even just punched out of their moves with the right timing. There is a boss in KH1 towards the end whos heat mode is fucking useless by virtue of a single parry with a huge window, and fucking them around a bit will boot them out of their heat mode regardless of their health or time in the heat mode.
I didn't have too much trouble with catching tbh - I mostly used kick attacks because kicks are cool. It happens sometimes, but you can hit on a whiff, and low kicks seem harder to catch. Ultimate God Leg + Low Kicks + the special kick you get from Kung Fu is awesome, it'll beat nearly anybody. I even beat the penultimate boss (the hardest story boss) with that tactic.
so i learned you can cheese baccarat with save states the rng for what cards you get seems to already be predetermined -- so you can make a max bet, save your state, lose, reload your state, then pick the winning choice the 9x multiplier for ties is fantastic
i fucking loooove this game its so much fun also dash attacks i remember being insanely good but once i got the circle special attack i would just do that constantly lol
They're not underrated, it's just that they're in japanese and not everyone speaks that language. Now, thanks to the efforts of Team K4L we can play both Kurohyo 1 and 2 in english.

The Kurohyou series has the best combat system in all the yakuza games, I'm so sad it was abandoned. This game deserved a spot on the big consoles
Playing it on my modded PS VITA and I can honestly say this game is so fire, it’s probably one of my most played games now.
The game that literally changed my life needs a 3rd game and make it a remake trilogy
this game hands down has the best combat in the whole series. wish they kept using it
yakuza + defjam = perfection
I'm impressed this came out for psp. This looks so good! I remember there was supposed to be one for vita but it never came out but now I see there was one for psp.
Def Jam: Like a Dragon edition? Sign me up!
Also, if I'm not wrong, the ones who did the cutscenes are the same folks who did the cutscenes from Peace Walker.
Yeah...same vibe.
