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)
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
@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?
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.
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).
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.
@@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.
