interesting how in 0 counter hook works like a nerfed tiger drop, however in kiwami they gave it a stun effect but took away the invincibility so you can still take damage when using it like yakuza 3
Well, in Y0 there is actually a counter in Kiryu's Legend style, which is similar to tiger drop, though different animation. On top of that, in last Kuze battle, during QTE Kiryu actually lands a punch which resembles Tiger Drop. (Uuuh, actshually)
Similarly, Majima's legend style has a counter that is very similar to the tiger drop mechanically in that it has the invincibility and does a stupid amount of damage and is performed the same way.
I think the only reason as to why Kuze didn't fly away immediately was because he used when Kuze was not even attacking him Aka, it wasn't an actual counterattack
The fact they said 'Yeah, you can UPGRADE the Tiger Drop' in 5 is fucking absurd but welcome. Make the most busted love in the series even more broken. And the fucking LORE reason Kiryu has to relearn it is cause he just fucking forgets if doesn't use it.
In the case of Yakuza 1, you don't actually need to hold R1 for any of the counters. It's just a good idea in case you would want dodge out of doing it.
Kiryu has the Tiger Drop in Yakuza 0 in the Legend style, it's called "iron fist counter" and it's the same command as the Tiger Drop but you can only use it with the 3rd Heat bar full
if its not emulated and the gameplay is captured via real hardware, there's no delay at all and you can perform the tiger drop just like any other entry
@@swagmaster-vn2dxI thought that the PS2 version had input delay even in real hardware, when I first played these games was on the PS3 HD collection and I was pretty consistent with my counters then when I tried the PS2 on pcsx2 the delay was messing with my timing, I was still able to perform it, but komaki was another story lol, that dude is way faster than the delay and was a nightmare fighting him

evolution of kiryu not gonna sugarcoat it
You also needed to cover Akiyama's counter kick, which is basically a Tiger Drop but with his feet.
i remember majima also got a counter attack with his knife
@@TrashBossA-vq7hv That looks more like a variant of the Komaki parry counter
@@TrashBossA-vq7hv Yeah y'know fuck it, just shove all the counters into there!
@@EvilMightyTrash true
@@pukky4328 kinda similar
Meanwhile in rgg studio:
Boss we didn't had any tiger drop in dead soul,
What!? well make a tiger drop but he shoots instead of punching
when kiryu finally uses guns that don’t have rubber bullets and he picks a 50 cal because it’s strong enough to drop tigers(undead included)

Most counter hook are use without heat
Iron fist is the only counter that requires heat
So its not similar as the tiger drop
This is true! That exact punch is actually the exact animation for a connected tiger drop!

Evolution of R1 + Triangle
The Tiger Dragon Drop is basically The Tiger Drop and Komaki parry in one attack and it’s awesome as hell
Tiger Drop also present in Fist of the North Star spin-off game
In Yakuza Kenzan, the Tiger Drop equivalent is on the Dual Sword style
This video is gold!
At the thumbnail I thought it was Majima in inmate uniform getting punched by naked ass Kiryu 💀
John Yakuza to Don Yakuzer
5:10 that music sync though
A magnificent sync 5:10
In Yakuza 3, wasn't Chapter 4 the one where Kiryu goes back to Kamurocho instead of Chapter 3?
@@diegordi1394 Yes it's a typo sorry about that
How can you able to the tiger drop on ps2

Doing Tiger Drops in ~30fps is tough to be consistent, especially in the PS2 games.
