Considering how durable Frank becomes, he could probably beat Yujiro, one-on-one without a weapon. Just give him the hand-to-hand book, and it's a definite win.
I'd argue the football tackle should be ranked higher, its one of few moves in the game that will guarantee knocking down psychopaths, its great for bullying cliff and preventing him from running away to a hatch (doesn't stagger psychos that are blocking i.e adam and brock tho)
and it hits more targets than the roundhouse kick, so it's technically better for zombies. I don't remember if it deals less damage than roundhouse, but I want to believe that they have their niches even if it is unlikely.
I feel like Frank was a high school wrestler or a big fan of Mike Haggar. A good chunk of his moves are wrestler moves. Heck you can even get Mike Haggars outfit in 4 and they both have the same pants
yeah one of the main problems with the skills is just their button combinations and specific positions that make it hard or tedious to perform, thank god they completely reworked them for Off the Record
Off the Record Reuses the DR2 inputs from Chuck's skillset, since most of Chuck and Frank's moves have the same functions. It's really the zombie walk and zombie hop (the reworking of the zombie ride) that are new to off the Record. But yeah, DR2 and OtR were peak Dead Rising as far as I'm concerned.
The only thing this video tells me is that Frank West would make a great street fighter character! and that Frank can bust Leon Kennedy's guts open with his bear hands...
I wish Street Fighter had it's own version of Frank West. Not that the two worlds share continuity, obviously, but the world of Street Fighter having this reporter who will fight tooth and nail for the scoop is something I'm surprised they haven't done yet.
That would be cool... though I hope they do remake someday Like they Did With a resident evil. Maybe I'm remembering wrong but I thought the skill moves In the original Flow and combo together better Then in DR2 Off The Record.
I wouldn't say "easy". It can deal good damage to them, but the over it a bit unwieldy (it takes a good dela of practice to learn how to control frank since his movement is relative to the camera) and you need to be careful to not hurt survivors (Namely Jo's). Plus, several bosses are in areas were getting them close enough to a wall is completely luck based (every Carlito battle, Isabella, and especially Paul). And Cliff has the unique issue of the place being too cramped. It is still capable of it, but it has some serious limitations. I still think the Somersault Kick is better for beating bosses without weapons.
Dead rising 1 was a bit more clunky but I have to say they still have the best skill moves and variety. Off the record is second best but they got rid of some of the little details and even moves altogether. For example the roundhouse kick if you hold this joystick and tilt it down (towards you the player) he will do a leg sweep instead, which has the benefit of taking out all zombies in front of crank and even a bit on the sides as well as giving 30PP instead of 10, the drawback is that he won’t aim the leg sweep and instead only do the strike where you are facing when you land. Fair trade off though. Additionally you can combine that with the wall somersault kick and do the leg sweep/roundhouse kick. In DR 2 OTR they got Rid of those little tricks.
hammer throw is the most overpowered move in the game, im surprised theres no mention of it considering it kills tons of zombies in large numbers and youre invincible while youre doing it
At first i thought landing the moves and being on the correct side of zombies was kind of weird, but after a while of learning the nuance it feels so much more satisfying to land them consistently than on dr2 and off the record, where they became too easy and standardized. Zombie ride feels so good in this game too, japanese are too good at making satisfying, challenging to land moves
I plan to someday make tier lists of those moves, but in general: I think the DR2 saga as a better skill set but the zombie horde doesn't demand the moves quite as often.
@11:29. While i definitely understand where you're coming from at the same time I'm also a pro wrestling fan & i do love using these moves. I oftentimes like using wrestling moves in non pro wrestling games. One of the best DDT's I've ever seen was in Saints Row 3. The way hoe you do the move plus the way how the victim sells it is just amazing imo. I feel like if Capcom ever remakes/reboots the Dead Rising franchise to keep & hell even add new moves(wrestling moves included) rework the abilities to make pulling off the moves easier maybe?
The fact the flying dodge isn't at the bottom of F tier is a crime. Even on the original 360 version I've never used it intentionally. It's always an accidental input that stops you in your tracks and leaves you open to be attacked.
5:40 wait... it's not based off of the time it takes you to throw the zombie off? i thought it was just based off of "do it quick = you get bonus" not an actual input.
....Okay, but where is Sweep Kick? You activate it just like Rounhouse Kick, except you have to hold down. It rather reliably kills multiple zombies, can hit enemies on the ground and the damage allows it to be very useful in the final battle (I was around lvl 43 and 4-5 sweeps was enough to finnish off the boss).
I've just started playing on PS4 and I unlocked a new skill thats driving me insane I HATE IT I dont want it! Its the lunge supposedly u double tap LS to do it but my Frank does it all the damn time it's so annoying I wish I could disable the move
The reason that happens is because the old 360 analog stick was far less sensitive, so you had to really push it. But it wasn't adjusted for modern control sticks, so you do it by accident all the time. Legit the worst part of the 2016 ports.
@@MYATWASTAKEN Chuck is given those moves as well, the ones that function differently anyway. Off the Record basically combines their movesets into one. The different ones share the same use and input (like the Knee Drop and Elbow Drop), so I don't see that as Frank or Chuck's skills.
It's weird they didn't use more buttons for skill inputs. It's more position based.
Capcom couldnt resist putting street fighter into it.
@@ExtremeMan10 Haha, yeah. That might be why...
They could've added way more moves lol
They definitely learned their lesson going forward. Even in the games with Frank a lot of them had the inputs changed
Fr and the controls in this game for the skill moves suck
Damn with these skills and techniques Frank can solo the entire Baki verse.
Considering how durable Frank becomes, he could probably beat Yujiro, one-on-one without a weapon. Just give him the hand-to-hand book, and it's a definite win.

Had I known that, I would have at least moved it to C tier. Cool to know this!
biggest facts I’ve heard
500 hundred hours, still learning something new.
@@JakeJakers That's honestly worth B-Rank.
disembowel was always the go-to skill when I wanted to deal with the military or other no-name living enemies in a flashy way
Frank is like a Captain America level superhuman, I mean he can blow up zombie heads by throwing cds or soda cans at lvl 50.
@@arkinyte13 to be fair, even a low level Frank is quite lethal with these soda cans - convicts in the park can confirm it
Wowww you left out the leg sweep! It's basically the roundhouse kick but you hold down when you land while attacking
Great after the flash kick
and it hits more targets than the roundhouse kick, so it's technically better for zombies. I don't remember if it deals less damage than roundhouse, but I want to believe that they have their niches even if it is unlikely.

Round house kick also can be used right after roll.
it also cancels that awkward animation where Frank lands on his hands.
Summersault on command like a true dead rising vet

@@RUNNEbytheinternet I actually don't want them to remake Dead Rising. I wouldn't mind making a video on why.
👍@@JakeJakers
TvC, UMvC3 and MVCI exist...
Thanks for pointing out that lift can be used on survivors as a method of moving them. It let me finally get frank the pimp without killing survivors.
The suplex it's just to feel like a pro wrestler(in addition to the wrestling boots and pants)
The wall kick is amazing for psychopaths and can be used to unarm all psychos easy

5:48 my favourite move
This one should have a better frame rate, but I'm still struggling to record my voice loudly enough.

Dead Rising is amazing and this video is exactly what I'd want to see of Dead Rising, absolute banger good buddy.
These are the tier lists that matter
thankfully it don't matter what they do i always use them all
they're fun af to pull off
Hmm I wonder if good ole secret trusty legsweep is included here
Suplex is S tier. Not because it's good but because it's really funny
There are so many more moves that appear in Street Fighter and Dead Rising than the two we all like to label the street fighter moves.
bro, these vids are 🔥 🔥 🔥
If you keep rolling the stick after the giant swing, it can reduce the dizzy time #tmyk
I liked this for the music alone, nice twist! Subscribed

Good video! Will yo make another tier list with DR2 skill moves?
I do plan to, yes. Especially since Chuck overall has a better moveset.
Out of curiosity, What do you think of Chuck and Frank's DR2 skill movesets?
I plan to someday make tier lists of those moves, but in general: I think the DR2 saga as a better skill set but the zombie horde doesn't demand the moves quite as often.
Frank’s moves are so much better than chucks imo but I like chuck more

I really didn't exploit them until the Brock fight but they are fun when i actually do find the timing.
I wanna see this for dr2

It's both. You have to do the input AND do it fast enough.
....Okay, but where is Sweep Kick? You activate it just like Rounhouse Kick, except you have to hold down. It rather reliably kills multiple zombies, can hit enemies on the ground and the damage allows it to be very useful in the final battle (I was around lvl 43 and 4-5 sweeps was enough to finnish off the boss).
Ah, the secret skill move. I simply forgot it. I think it would rank higher than the leg kick, but I don't think it'd break out of a higher tier.
Isn’t the wall kick another street fighter move. Vega does it
True, but it's not too specific to him like the other two are. It might have been a reference, but hard to tell.
Would you think about making a weapons Tier List
I have, although it wouldn't be the normal kind of tier list.
I've just started playing on PS4 and I unlocked a new skill thats driving me insane I HATE IT I dont want it! Its the lunge supposedly u double tap LS to do it but my Frank does it all the damn time it's so annoying I wish I could disable the move

9:22 What's the song?
Guile's theme. It goes with everything.
roundhouse kick in b tier? lol
Uhhhh... I think you are forgetting about the REAL HERO, you know, a guy who goes by the name of CHUCK GREENE!
One day, I'll make videos on DR2.
Who had the better skill moves Chuck or Frank
I think Chuck's moves in DR2 are overall better than Franks in DR1, but that's mostly down to input commands.
@JakeJakers I think Frank's skill moves in OTR are objectively better than Chuck's skill moves
@@MYATWASTAKEN Chuck is given those moves as well, the ones that function differently anyway. Off the Record basically combines their movesets into one. The different ones share the same use and input (like the Knee Drop and Elbow Drop), so I don't see that as Frank or Chuck's skills.

Counter argument... The suplex is rad
