Yakuza 3 Ultimate Match: "Here, fight this guy, you have this specific skillset, we'll rank you based on how you did." Yakuza Kiwami Climax Battles: "You have three minutes, don't get hit once. Also every enemy has a gun."
so basically real life gang fights; every enemy has a gun and if you get hit once you're dead, also cops are coming in three minutes so you gotta be quick
@@armedweiss5531 I'd say luck certainly did play a part in it then. You get Thug at almost any point in this particular challenge (especially towards the end) and you're dead meat.
@@WickedParanoidthug is actually the best one to get because you can use weapons and the rainbow umbrella absolutely melts everyone. but if you break the umbrella then its pretty shit and you will probably lose
@@WickedParanoid idk if it made it easier or worse that I played with legend remix mod for kiwami and 0 challenges. It made that dragon style challenge from 0 really easy tho. Yakuza 5 levels of combo speed with all the heat actions it entails was probably now how it was intended to be played
the date climax battle in this game was wild! really wish we got more experimental, fun climax battles like that, i love the really challenging ones and all but playing as date in one of these battles was something i never expected but would love to see more of (fighting as someone like kashiwagi, yuya, or rikiya would have been very cool)
In the OG yakuza on the PS2, in it's "climax battles" (it's called battle review mode lol), there's something called survival battle 5 where you literally do every single fight in the game, including some substory battles too
The worst part is that it's incremental. One challenge is every boss in the game up to Hayashi. Next challenge is every boss in the game up until Lau Ka Long. It just keeps going until you hit the final challenge, which is every single major fight in the game. It's so mind-numbingly repetitive.
I deadass just uninstalled Kiwami (Playing 0, and I'm already more than content with what I've complained in K1), and I did a few climax battles, but damn they got really annoying REALLY fast. Got excited to watch this, and see if it was worth going through to test myself. From what I've seen... This game got it bruh, I'm good 💀
0's Climax Battles are much much harder than Kiwami's. I did all the Kiwami battles in one sitting, for 0 I got stuck on that one Proving Grounds where Majima loses health and changes styles randomly for atleast 1 hour. And don't even mention Ultimate Battle 2. Still got them all completed though.
Start playing the Yakuza games properly a couple months ago and since then been looking for YT stuff, and tbh you make the best Yakuza related content fr
The funny thing about the "beetle" one is that they give you no health, and yet there's certain heat actions you can do to restore HP, meaning you can cheese it since it doesn't count as a fail if you get hit once.
The amaount of time and editing it must have taken. That was the most fun i have had on youtube since idk when. Love your content, keep it up it was amazing.
10:50 the fact he got cimboed by one guy, stunned, the other guy came in and comboed him next, the og guy stunned him again and then the second guy SHOT HIM.
The Yakuza 0 and Kiwami climax battles truly taught me what the word difficulty means after my spoiled ass called games too easy after beating the Riddler Challenges in Batman: Arkham City :')
Why is it that I found Kiwami’s climax battles so frustrating but I found Yakuza 3’s climax battles kinda fine. Even Yakuza 0 didn’t give me nearly as much pain as kiwami’s did.
You know it's a good day when Kaizen uploads 🔥🙏 I'm a new sub from a few weeks back and I have been watching your videos every day. They've been getting me through some really rough times so I just wanted to say thank you for being you and keep up the amazing work ❤️
I kinda like the feature where there are different type of dragons one which is more technical or more heat based as it really makes you adapt how you play especially when using each different type of dragon
As much as the Climax battles have frustrated me(completed all of 0's and 5's, working on 4 and getting S on 3) I will say they've humbled the shit out of me and to an extent made me a better player. Haven't even started Kiwamis climax battles and watching this makes me already feel like its gonna be a damn struggle
That Rush style one on the roof was so much easier once you learn that you can use the sword shatter heat action to one shot him and still have heat left to not fail.
I recently beat all of these… I didn’t know about the rush cheese for Melee Battle 10 till 2ish hours of trying where I was almost convinced it was near impossible till I read about it
I don't know if anyone else has pointed it out, but something Probably could have helped is that the Kiwami heal state can actually be broken with regular Heat Actions. The game doesn't tell you this, but at least with a handful of bosses this strategy works if you have a heat action that activates with the enemy standing like Essence of Sumo Slap.
Right now, i just finished the godamned Climax Battles. If you mastered the Tiger Drop's timing, you can defeat easily the final stages. Keep fighting, fellas!
Going through them right now and my god is it agitating. You'd think that "Climax Battles" would be these epic fights where you'll have to make the most of every part of your moveset to win, but instead they take pretty much everything away from you and just add time limits to most of the missions than create any sort of real challenge. The only good one so far has been the final majima gauntlet.
Just did the whole thing yesterday right after completing the game and it unexpectedly just takes couple hours for me. Gotta say compared to 0 the entire climax battles here is a complete joke and I'm glad for it.
I figured out that in proving grounds 6 you can do a katana parry that kills the sword guy and leaves you with a small bit of heat left, use the staminan and youre good to go, so it aint even a tease to an extent
This game. I thought that after Mahjong I was finally free to feel some sense of victory. But nooo. Then along came the 9 year old gambling addict who wants me to buy her love. And finally, this.
19:55 yeah that was my reaction to a lot of yakuza 0 and kiwami 1s climax battles lol, I'm gonna replay both of them for the 100% on the xbox at some point,when i finish the series probably. Also not looking forward to the driving battles on legendary but ehhhh problem for a future me 😂

yakuza kiwami has some of my favorite climax battles in the whole franchise, this shit humbled the shit outta me
Climax Battles humbled the shit out of me when I first played em
When the first challenge is defeating a huge crowd of enemies with deadly weapons without getting knocked down, you know what you're getting into.
Surely the homeless stole his loafers in that one colliseum fight so he had to go sort them out.
1:19 When you throw your hip out thinking you still got it
this man has infinite sanity
14:06 Ain't no way they had you beat up Sera and Kashiwagi, this was the universe where Kiryu went fucking mad
I beat sera with beast style spam with weapons and saejima heat actions it’s really useful if you have a lot of hp
I deadass just uninstalled Kiwami (Playing 0, and I'm already more than content with what I've complained in K1), and I did a few climax battles, but damn they got really annoying REALLY fast.

I don't know why but I found myself binging this guy's videos yesterday, nice to see a new one
After Yakuza 0 Climax Battles, this stuff felt like a breath of fresh air.
Climax battles be rough
God, imagine if they made you fight Jingu too
Lol that fake out at the first battle is hilarious
I could watch you play climax battles all day 😂
the golden gun one almost made me do a heat action irl
The amaount of time and editing it must have taken. That was the most fun i have had on youtube since idk when. Love your content, keep it up it was amazing.
These actually look kinda fun. I hated the climax battles in most of the other games, but I think I might give Kiwami a shot next time I go back.
shimano's gut must be fuckin paste after all those komaki parries you gave him

Even Yakuza 0 didn’t give me nearly as much pain as kiwami’s did.
If it wasn’t for Proving Grounds 6 at 3:54, I wouldn’t hesitate to call these mostly do-able. It really is just that one that always destroys me.
Right now. I'm on the 7th proving grounds challenge. And I all want to do is end it all.
I beaten all of them yesterday
I want to like this video not only twice, not thrice, but quadrice.
The one in the Tojo clan HQ with the Golden pistol where you’re stuck in beast was BRUTAL
LITERALLY!!! I was like at least put me in Dragon or Rush style
@@ryanologistonym rush would’ve been so easy.

Recently did these lmao, got stuck on some but managed to prevail, date one for some reason took me over 10+ attempts, W vid tho
4:41 the staminan is there to recharge your heat since staying in heat mode is part of the challenge
Why not just give us a tauriner then 😭
@@sogflesh4030 cause Tauriner gives a bad amount of heat Tauriner+ is kinda like StaminanXX.
This is a nice stroll down memory lane. I forgot how horrible some of these were.
The coincidence that I finish your video at 4:30 on the dot. When you said it's 4:30 am this was crazy idk how my luck is sometimes

That Rush style one on the roof was so much easier once you learn that you can use the sword shatter heat action to one shot him and still have heat left to not fail.
No it’s really not when getting the timing right means that you get frame 1 hit a fuckton of times before it works
Some of them are actually pretty easy if you know the trick, but I am surprised at how easily you cleared melee battle 10.
Out of all of them the majimas ones seem pretty easy and actually fun as hell
Being able to fight multiple majimas is fun
I know what to do to make last Climax Battle even better.
Add Jo Amon.
Don't give them any ideas.
