Judgment definitely brings new favorites to the table for me! Which ones are your favorites? Special thanks to Hannya Tier patrons: MiyuRon, eks2009, The Guts To Never Give Up Follow me on Twitter: / devilleon7
@@Xirce in his fight in l'amant, i went for a wall jump the same time he did, so it just became an awkward yet badass moment of us both flying past eachother aggressively, kind of like a second dynamic intro
@@kiryokazooma i think it fits Kuroiwa’s character (what little I know about him) pretty well, he’s a deranged killer, and his theme represents that pretty well
I like how a lot of these battles have dynamic intros, even if they are relatively simple to some degree: like the first one with Murase, all he's doing is trying to brain you with a chair, but it still looks really cool with the slow down and all. My personal favourite has to be from the second fight with Higashi.
Agreed. Speaking of the "simple" ones, I really love the one against Kengo. It's pretty basic, but the build-up and the beat drop on the name display really do it for me.
I'm surprised when actors can play different roles, and those roles are drastically different. I watched Shosuke Tanihara on Rainy Days where he acted as a sweet man and in Judgment he acted as a psychopath cop. Amazing!
@Crazeh Boi there isn't even one second right from the intro in chapter where I thought Kuroiwa a good guy. To me he started of as a cold af sob and then an annoying fake-competent bastard and then a full-on overly competent menacing psycho. I've only ever been exposed to one of Tanihara's works before this though so there isn't much overlap for me.
4:50 I actually like the Eng version of this line. The og Japanese voiceline means literally “You're not an officer, just a hitman”, but the English version is really on point and hit hard.
Honestly no, LOL, I didn't even think about it that way. I just wanted a thumbnail that's close and personal and gets the idea across without any boss appearing, that's my intention.
It feels like heresy but I like this guys fighting more than kiryus I know that kiryu is a good fighter but it seems like he wins most fights through sheer brute force Yagami seems like he uses mostly technique and kinda reminds me of akiyama who probably has my favorite fighting style
@@funnydudeguyman6114 I like both Kiryu's and Yagami's fighting styles. Sometimes, sheer brute force is the best style to use but you ain't gonna win every battle with brute force alone. How much damage you can do to an enemy doesn't matter if you can't hit them. That's when you switch from using sheer brute force to using some technique.
I think I like these ones better than Yakuza's. Kinda shows skill and grace like a martial arts flick. Yakuza's intro's are good, but they usually center on brute force or power, and once you watch a single counter destroy a health bar, you already know they're a force to be reckoned with
Yakuza intros have a lot more force behind them, they freeze frame on punches or kicks colliding, and Judgement intros usually either freeze in the middle of big strings of attacks or before the fighting takes place, as to not break the flow, which suits Judgement because the fighting has a better flow than Yakuza which has more impactful weighty strikes
I thoroughly enjoyed this game.... and as always, the Dynamic intros give me SO much inspiration as an artist...as well as the music...the extended versions of the tracks just cant get here quick enough!!
I can’t believe it took me this long to play this game, despite playing the other Yakuza games for quite a while, and I really enjoyed it from start to finish. Now I’m on Lost Judgment.
How are the soles of his kicks so spotless with the kind of shit he steps on sprinting around Kamurocho all damned day everyday? I mean good for the guys whose faces he kicks in but this is mystifying.
the best one IMO is by and far the first Kuroiwa fight. Mostly because the build up with his theme Penumbra kicks in at just the perfect moment and because of how their fighting styles are so similar.
Technically you missed an intro, because while I know the intro to Kuroiwa's second phase is considered an action sequence, if you lose to Kuroiwa, it starts again from his second phase, and plays a dynamic intro. There's a titlecard and everything
@@jaypostromboli-jpgamertv-457 I've searched for a while, but unfortunately I couldn't find any footage of it, tho I'm sure it exists somewhere. I only know this because I witnessed it myself after dying to Kuroiwa on his second phase. The only proof I can really offer you is the existence of the C and D versions of his soundtrack. If you didn't know, Kuroiwa has 4 versions of his theme. They're all just the same theme, but with different intros. Anyways, Version C and D sound nearly identical, with Version D just being shortened. That's because instead of replaying the entire cutscene again, it only plays the scene of Kuroiwa pulling himself up from the window, afterwards, his titlecard pops up and the fight starts.
I should stop doubting RGG Studio. Thought a Yakuza spin-off would suck without Kiryu, I was wrong. Thought a Yakuza game with a protagonist other than Kiryu would suck... I was wrong. Keep'em coming RGG!
I'm trying to make a wallpaper on all the dynamic intros for wall paper engine. Getting the timing right and removing the game HUD is the challenge, but I;ll love seeing Yagami's intro every time I boot up my computer
Kuroiwa was the most challenging boss i have ever fought in the Ryu studio games. From Yakuza, to Fist of the North Star, he is by far the most challenging. Not because he is cheap or uses shitty ai, but because he was so technically well made in his combat style that you could be fully upgraded on just normal mode and he would still kick your ass. You actually had to resort to strategy to take him down
Not if you take the cheap way out and spam TD. But that would be missing the point of the fight, I guess. I mean you still need to be a master of timing it to the guy's devastating attacks (esp on Legend) but no strategizing would be needed there.
Leon are you going to make the Judgement dating videos . When I was in your stream it was pretty good and I really wanna rewatch all the dates in a playlist/Compilation
I love that yagami has the strength of an ox while being a stringy martial arts boy, this was my first yakuza game so him not being strong wasn't a factor.
I'd say those fall under the category of action sequences more than dynamic intros, they don't come with a title card/name display like these but they're still a lot like dynamic intros. I'll try to make a video of all the QTEs and the action sequences at one point.
@@mr.grimms321 Correction. Yagami is the more technical of the two. Way more so in fact. Kiryu is more brawler god. This is why I'm a bigger fan of Yagami's style and in a fight between this two, I'll always be rooting for Yagami, even though I know he can't beat Kiryu saddled as he is by his humanity and Kiryu not so much (again, brawler god).
i wish for a good sequel. Not a fan of Yakuza games but loved this one (i like the brawler genre in general just not so fond of character designs in previous games)
Yeah these are alot more grounded and simple than the FLYING SUPERMAN PUNCH from Daigo in Yakuza 4 Or that INTENSE RUNNING THEN FLIP OVER YOU INTRO of Lao Gui from 0
I was so disappointed that these are soooo rare and half of them aren't even that great. There are like 10 chapters between the 1:40 and 1:50 ones. Wasted potential, I think intros pack a lot more punch than qte's, which were awesome and frequent, but they should have been intros instead in my opinion
Not that I don't understand your sentiment. It is very good. But I hope you know that what you're saying is very biased opinion and is in no way the actual truth. Because objectively, it isn't better. It can't be. This is a game set in Japan which comes close to our reality. So no other language will ever sound as natural as the native one unless the voice acting is bad, because of the environment of the game itself. I doubt games like GTA and TLOU will sound better in other languages than in American English, no matter how well acted.
