Another Yakuza 4 vid. This is the Akiyama & Tanimura Fight as Kiryu Kazama. This was pretty fun this fight, except I wish they were harder to fight. Enjoy.
wumblebum I always thought it was funny that Akiyama didn't really do anything while he wad over Kiryus shoulder. He was just enjoying the moment, I reckon.
I love how at 4:15 you can see Akiyama standing in the back, looking at Tanimura get the shit kicked out of his face like "Well, this is happening, who am I to stop it?"
The fact that the game makes you spend so much time with these characters before Kiryu, learning how they are each badasses in their own way, then having Kiryu fight Two of them at once, mopping the floor with them. Just that freeze frame Versus shot alone simply IS the apex of this game... Period.
I loved this part. I got chills from the epicness. You're pitted against 2 characters who you've already played before and connected with. Now you're Kiryu and you just know how powerful he is from every game so far. The part where he's holding both of them up was awesome.
Gameboynitro 9 You can fight all of them if you do the VR Machine. That Doc Brown looking mf'er with the giant machine let's you get XP by fighting virtual versions of every boss and players character (obviously with Kiryu being the final and hardest one). You can do it with every character and fight yourself as well. It's a great way to level up fully before the final mission.
to me Akiyama and Kiryu are two of the most badass characters in their own aspects. To me Akiyama reminds me of Bruce Wayne ( rich, really freaking rich and smooth) and Kiryu reminds me of Batman ( the Ultimate fighter who's name puts fear in peoples hearts if )that makes sense
You know, what makes these four characters so awesome is that they are so different to each other yet they blend so well... I love them 4 all the same, they are epic. But you can't deny it: Akiyama's flair and style is simply too boss. I luv how he's talking to Kiryu on this video... he's simply too cool for school (I personally luv his fighting pose as he begins). :P
This battle was so cool, yet so painful for me to play/watch at the same time. Just because my favorite characters were all beating the snot out of each other at the same time :P
I know this comment is old as hell, but I'll reply anyway because it's you. It really bummed me when I was told he was replaced with the baseball guy because Nariyama (his actor) was caught up in a drug scandal. Turns out it was all false, but he retired anyway after all the negative reception. It's really fucking sad.
@@StreetwizeJJ2 Well, on the plus side, at least Shinada was still a charming character. And after the HD re-releases of 3, 4 & 5, there might be a chance for Tanimura to come back.
@HybridDragons I hate to say it, but I feel the same way. The moment Akiyama's story began, I instantly became a fan of him. Something about his fighting style I just love also. Also best of luck on the Amon family. Akiyama's & Kiryu's are the best fights.
This would be one of the coolest boss fights ever if they were even half as competent as they are when played by a competent player. I mean, if they fought like I fight while using them, Kiryu would be unable to do anything while Akiyama rains kicks on him and dodge cancels to keep the combo going and Tanimura puts him into ground/wall bound state constantly for fun. They were just too easy :(
I like how it Kiruy was just told he a ex-4 patriarch of dojo family tojo clan fight may not even started but hey its still good fight, and Japanese game are not about logic
Man that's not at all how it went down for me. Every time I went in to attack, these pricks would alternate combos and kept me stunlocked forever. Really frustrating, especially for how cool a scene this is. Just took the wind out of my sails
@kornypony I'm not sure, saldy. I think they only removed a small amount of moves from Kiryu (I just can't confirm which). It's been close to a year since I last played the game to remember what they changed.
Developers had to show that Kiryu is still the toughest guy in Japan. It doesn't make Akiyama and Tanimura look like pussies at all. Hell, exhausted and wounded Kiryu took out Ryuji Goda - so what, Goda is a pussy now too? But yeah, the fight itself is kinda-sorta letdown.
@KeikunFPSPinoy I agree with Amon now. But with #3's bosses, they kinda just felt harder for me, only because of the amount of health bars they had (with the exception of Lau Ka Long, who was a bastard to fight, particularly when you experience his fight for the first time) :P But not only that, but playing a previous Yakuza game like #3, then going on to #4, you tend to be really use to the game that it makes it easier in a way. Also thanks for the video comment. :)
@1337er1337berserker I love fighting with them all. Akiyama's kicks are just FTW. (His running attack leaves you less vulnerable than other characters') Tanimura... If you don't like tanimura... Tanimura has a heat action after all his moves. Saejima is a powerhouse, playing as him feels like knocking down garden gnomes. They're pretty defenseless but it's still fucking fun. And Kiryu... Kiryu needs no explanation. If A loan shark and a detective could shoot just shoot people... Nah Mean?
Is Kiryu like the main guy in the Yakuza games and the others people are just side stories to his? I played almost all of them, but I just wanted to know is all
Yeah kinda. Though you play more than just Kiryu now such as Akiyama, Saejima and Tanimura (along with Yakuza: Dead Souls & Y5 where you play as 1-2 different characters); Kiryu will (always) be the "main"..... Unless it's a PSP game, then they focus on someone else entirely. :V Not sure if I'd say Side Story to Kiryu's, but more like they all have seperate stories that eventually link together (connections and such)..... Though maybe you could say side stories, depending on how you look at it. I dunno. D:
Iziah Bush There is no he is but he isn't. He IS because he has been in EVERY Yakuza game, the main story almost always focuses on him. Also in Yakuza 4 he has all of the fighting styles of ALL the side characters in the game.
***** Its because he is the main character, and has ALL of their fighting styles. For example Kiryu has counter moves, grabbing moves, and kicking moves. He has a MUCH larger move set, his strength rivals Taiga, His speed is fast enough to deal with Shin, and he could counter Tanimura also if he tried that crap. Don't believe me? Go unlock all his moves and then do survival mode and tell me who is the better fighter! I beat over 1000 people with Kazuma in survival mode! Just because of his diversity! He has no weaknesses at all!
@KeikunFPSPinoy Touche, heh. I actually dodged it... But double dodged back into the end of the lazer.... Took no damage though surprisingly from it. I have No. 4's Amon fight on my channel. My Kiryu fight was kinda sloppy though. I'm thinking of re-recording his fight.
Yakuza 4... I have to guiltily admit that Kiryu wasn't my favorite character in this game... Akiyama's personality was just too win. He was easily the coolest character there in my opinion. Absolutely fucking legendary gane though. I've begun completing sidestories now. I wanna fight the Amon family!!!
It would be horrible. Why the need downgrading it to SD level? And you really need to check out that Yakuza 0 review by Hyperbithero to see what i mean.
Nice game, but you clearly don't know anything about the bounding system or know how to take advantage of it. With kiryu's hammer blow combo (what you keep doing in this movie), it bounces the enemy off the ground and you CAN juggle off it. It sucks watching you blowing away all that opportunity every time because you seemed unaware of it.
If you max out akiyama's training and upgrades, he can be the toughest character to down any NPCs (Thugs, Street Punks etc) in one combo and annihilate any bosses' health easily .
I love that even while carrying Akiyama bridal-style Kiryu was able to fight off Tanimura's heat move with ONLY ONE HAND.
wumblebum
I always thought it was funny that Akiyama didn't really do anything while he wad over Kiryus shoulder.
He was just enjoying the moment, I reckon.
hahahahahaha
@@DrunkenCoward1 to be fair I would also enjoy being in Kiryu shoulder as well
@@ariavachier-lagravech.6910 i will enjoy him punch me in my face
Kiryu countered Tanimura's flying armbar by suplexing, while carrying Akiyama
I love how at 4:15 you can see Akiyama standing in the back, looking at Tanimura get the shit kicked out of his face like "Well, this is happening, who am I to stop it?"
The fact that the game makes you spend so much time with these characters before Kiryu, learning how they are each badasses in their own way, then having Kiryu fight Two of them at once, mopping the floor with them.
Just that freeze frame Versus shot alone simply IS the apex of this game... Period.
And how powerful Saejima is that he could fight Kiryu in his condition.
I loved this part. I got chills from the epicness. You're pitted against 2 characters who you've already played before and connected with. Now you're Kiryu and you just know how powerful he is from every game so far. The part where he's holding both of them up was awesome.
Damn kiryu is a hard ass
Cannot be defeated so easily
What a guy is him
Kiriyu is the manliest videogame protagonist I've ever seen.
Anybody else noticed that Saejima is the only playable character you don't fight in this game?
Gameboynitro 9 You can fight all of them if you do the VR Machine. That Doc Brown looking mf'er with the giant machine let's you get XP by fighting virtual versions of every boss and players character (obviously with Kiryu being the final and hardest one).

Well now that we have yakuza: like a dragon
@@somestuff7468 He said playable
@@BossHOF Yakuza 5
He didnt break a fucking sweat lol
The way he throwed them both down was epic and DAT FINISH DOE
when I fought them I was fucking PUMPED.
to me Akiyama and Kiryu are two of the most badass characters in their own aspects.
To me Akiyama reminds me of Bruce Wayne ( rich, really freaking rich and smooth) and Kiryu reminds me of Batman ( the Ultimate fighter who's name puts fear in peoples hearts if )that makes sense
no matter how strong new character is in Yakuza series...nothings can beat the original character of yakuza series,Kiryu!
This was probably one of the greatest fights in all of Yakuza
The way this scene gets intense along with the fight gives me goosebumps.
Kazuma :O absolute beast
I loved this part when I played it.
You know, what makes these four characters so awesome is that they are so different to each other yet they blend so well... I love them 4 all the same, they are epic.
But you can't deny it: Akiyama's flair and style is simply too boss. I luv how he's talking to Kiryu on this video... he's simply too cool for school (I personally luv his fighting pose as he begins). :P
3:47 That epic soundtrack! make the fight intents
This battle was so cool, yet so painful for me to play/watch at the same time. Just because my favorite characters were all beating the snot out of each other at the same time :P
Easily my favorite boss fight of the game, and with probably my favorite boss theme to boot.
i think there's a music playing on my mind......
like a kiryu like a kiryu.... feeling so badass like a kiryu~~
That finisher was perfect! :O
Tanimura became an instant favorite because of his counter and grappling moves. Too bad he's not in 5 :/
I know this comment is old as hell, but I'll reply anyway because it's you.

Lmao Kiryu fights 2 main characters at once and still Won. Thats Dragon of Dojima for you B))
Little did they know about Kiryu's plot armor.
Akiyama and Tanimura both of them are good, i have to admit it
Theme of VS Player Character
Akiyama and Tanimura are both my favorite characters. I'm glad that Akiyama is in Dead Souls. Hope they put Tanimura in the next game.
i still remember the first time i saw this scene. i was like holy fuck, man my ps3 was full of jizz. just fucking epic and badass at the same time.
Mohammad Hussien I wish they made ports for the Ps4. I don't have a Ps3, I want to play yakuza 3-5
Get the old ps3 model, i it's pretty cheap now. Especially if it's used.
@HybridDragons I hate to say it, but I feel the same way. The moment Akiyama's story began, I instantly became a fan of him. Something about his fighting style I just love also. Also best of luck on the Amon family. Akiyama's & Kiryu's are the best fights.
I really like the detective and the voice actor.....hope he would come bck again =(
man i know how you feel but hey at least we got to see em walk up to the tower like badasses later on
You may be cool, but have you ever been beat up the two other main protagonists at the same time cool?
1:26
tanimura:We'll hold our pursuers here.
6:02
Oh really?
Kazuma Kiryu simply the best
No, it was the kick you did when you were getting up after you'd been knocked down.
This would be one of the coolest boss fights ever if they were even half as competent as they are when played by a competent player. I mean, if they fought like I fight while using them, Kiryu would be unable to do anything while Akiyama rains kicks on him and dodge cancels to keep the combo going and Tanimura puts him into ground/wall bound state constantly for fun. They were just too easy :(
Same as when you fought kiryu as Saejima
Androu1 Now imagine Kiryu do Tiger Drop and Komaki Reverse all the time. He is unbeatable.
Savage
No one can beat the dragon of dojima
i am and i was so glad they didnt go with draw but just beat both of them :D you know what i mean?
I like how it Kiruy was just told he a ex-4 patriarch of dojo family tojo clan
fight may not even started
but hey its still good fight, and Japanese game are not about logic
You don’t mess with the kiyru
Man that's not at all how it went down for me. Every time I went in to attack, these pricks would alternate combos and kept me stunlocked forever. Really frustrating, especially for how cool a scene this is. Just took the wind out of my sails

Definition of AWESOME!
So true.

But yeah, the fight itself is kinda-sorta letdown.
kiryu is still my number one character
@OuendanCyrus "...In terms of personality and fight style" - A substitute for "No Homo" :P
Best fight on the game
I still liked Kiryu the best, but the others all were close seconds.
@KeikunFPSPinoy I agree with Amon now. But with #3's bosses, they kinda just felt harder for me, only because of the amount of health bars they had (with the exception of Lau Ka Long, who was a bastard to fight, particularly when you experience his fight for the first time) :P But not only that, but playing a previous Yakuza game like #3, then going on to #4, you tend to be really use to the game that it makes it easier in a way.
Also thanks for the video comment. :)
taekwondo.. maybe, he always uses kicks as his signature offensive attacks

@spawngoat kiryu didnt took him seriously amd if you see the video after the fighte he didnt actually lose
damn,Kazuma is a damn beast
too bad they removed Hell's Floor, I wanna spam it just to watch the enemy in pain
At least Shinada brought it back in the 5th game.
how they ( tanimura & akiyama) want beat the legendary DRAGON. LOL. but they are awesome character. Good work SEGA. I enjoyed play this game.
He's in 5.

that's true.
So kiryu is unbeatable?
Almost. He's only known defeat is against Shintaro Kazama
@@NymNeves Kashiwagi clocked him good too, lol
@KeikunFPSPinoy 6-8 life bars I believe? I'm almost tempted to fight him in no. 3 again. Shame he didn't use lightsabers in No. 4 also. :P
Name of theme battle ? (so badass)
Jordan Servan It's called "Smile Venomously." Amazing song. I love the violins.
Kiryu is the Best !!!!
@KeikunFPSPinoy Touche, heh. I actually dodged it... But double dodged back into the end of the lazer.... Took no damage though surprisingly from it. I have No. 4's Amon fight on my channel. My Kiryu fight was kinda sloppy though. I'm thinking of re-recording his fight.

This was kinda easy but Saejima vs Kiryu took me forever
SpacekillaHD I can guess why... *gets tiger dropped*
epic comment is just an epic comment
FEEL THE HEAT BITCH.
XD
They should make a crossover of Mortal Kombat, Yakuza & Sleeping Dogs
Holy shit.
YES.
Martin R. Cruz kiryy kazuma would wipe the floor against Wei shen.
No
Venom Wolf lol
to true
What's the music called in this fight?
Smile Venomously
if you play on normal
god! I wish I had a PS3 :(
Funny scene.. Too bad for Akiyama and Tanimura lol
what do you think if this game have a similar combat style like sleeping dogs? :D
It would be horrible. Why the need downgrading it to SD level? And you really need to check out that Yakuza 0 review by Hyperbithero to see what i mean.
+Dan Hyang holy crap you're right..just watched yakuza 0..it looked fantastic :D
Lol Kiryu smash them up xD
桐生さん最強！！
@maravich12 That's true, sadly. =/ But not much can be done about it I guess. Oh well.
@MazManZero And bleh to UA-cam jibberish.... I meant as no. 3 's, not that #3' crap. :P
これは流石にキツかった・・・
H hide 谷村チート過ぎるwww
heta
what is the name of the last heat action?
I dont know the name, but you get it in a revelation on the rooftops, with the female cop and the child kidnapper
@Hellyeah935 tae kwon do
Hi, how do you do this last move!!? 5:49
You just need to roll (double tap X) towards an enemy while you have HEAT Essence.
MazManZero Ok thanks, I'll try it next time!

With kiryu's hammer blow combo (what you keep doing in this movie), it bounces the enemy off the ground and you CAN juggle off it.
It sucks watching you blowing away all that opportunity every time because you seemed unaware of it.
Akiyama is another wannabe Kazuma is the best!
This series is too much a babysitter to Kiryu, the guy can even take Akiyama plus Tanimura.. Kiryu is way too overpowered.
Dadiris Agrom three games as the main protagonist will do that to you
I love how the guy says this with a goku pfp. And yes ik this is max old
If you max out akiyama's training and upgrades, he can be the toughest character to down any NPCs (Thugs, Street Punks etc) in one combo and annihilate any bosses' health easily .
