In general, evading behind him with is your best bet to deal damage.

When he isn't in heat mode it is possible to do a full combo ending with Heat on him if you can get behind him then a heat finisher on him on the ground. Best place to try it is in the back right corner (from where you start) near the waters edge where the ship is. This was never consistent for me so I only used it occasionally. You can parry him into walls and you might be able to hit him when he bounces back. Since the fighting system in Yakuza games lacks fundamental fighting game logic this doesn't guarantee that you can recover faster than your opponent can retaliate but it puts you in a much better position. He will evade he first (!) attack most of the time. Don't mash out a full string of every time you try to hit him. You need to get used to "hit confirm" your starting attacks. Yes it works terrible in this game but helps a lot with the positioning and evade. There is no surefire way to beat him, so I will list a bunch of situations you should memorize and react accordingly. The only advantage of this fight that you will spend a bunch of time on it and this will help preparing for the Ultimate Matches where you are on a timer.

Also evades don't really work because he constantly circles around you. Sugiuchi auto blocks from every direction, auto counters heavy attacks, recovers from parry faster than you can hit him, crushes your blocks and avoids grabs. The second most active enemy is the Wakizashi (short sword) guy.Įvery other bossfight is easy but this is a royal pain. The other guys are nowhere as near as aggressive. I suggest focusing on him from the start and killing him as fast as possible. If you get close to him afterwards, he will do a slash which kills you instantly. In my experience he can and will stay in this stance indefinitely. After some time he will enter into a "samurai" stance where he looks like he is ready to unsheathe his sword. I could never do this by going after the weakest guys first because the Katana (long sword) guy is so dangerous. You need the purple suit to damage you at least once and then proceed to attack or you will run out of durability. Your "Marlin", the spear on the right D-pad deals more damage the less health you have. The reason this might seem impossible when you try it is because the description is incomplete.

I only focus on the Ultimate Matches which is not detailed in it and I give some tips for some of the normal matches.īeat the first 20-30 enemies normally because until 30 you don't have to watch out for the near indestructible enemies. The basic description is in the CyricZ guide on Gamefaqs.
