YAKUZA 5-Shinada's weirdass fighting style

Yakuza 5 Remastered

[kokroughtoss]

A Taxi Driver, a escaped convict, a dance idol, a moneylender, and a perverted journalist.

Truly we are the Yakuza 5!!!

I really like how unrefined and sluggish his fighting style is. Unlike Kiryu, Akiyama, or Saejima who are all experienced to the point they've developed their own styles, Shinada basically fights how a normal person on the street would probably fight.

[foufoustv]

I think he is the most realistic character in the whole serie.

He is supposed to rely on weapons, that's his entire gimmick. That's why you have an infinite pipe by default and why his Climax Heat moves all revolve around weapons.

[Artakha]

Pros:
- Easy Chaining against single enemies
- Follow-up Grab deals respectable damage, and can be used for wake-up attacks like Kiryu's Bounding Throw
- Better utilization of weapons than the other three PCs combined

Cons:
- Slow combos that feel sluggish and are easy to punish
- Combo damage is... pitiful
- Shinada's first weapon is absolutely pathetic in terms of damage output, and making or finding other unbreakable weapons takes a lot of extra grinding

At 0:46 I was like"Did the street punk just do a tag team attack?"

[unknownfigure]

If he didn't do those 1000 pushups, sit ups and 5000 swings, his fighting style would be less effective. Just kidding but it Is impressive he wins his fights with that style, especially on people that are experienced fighters

[dmb]

Its super fun to use tho, and honestly hes a beast when you know what your doing. His grab combos are snappy and you can get some sick combos and cancels with him

[arandominternetperson]

Shinada has a very flowy style where most of his attacks flow back into a grab finisher

[LinusTheSecond]

1:13 ah hell nah shinada killed joker 😔😔😔

[garyyyyyy]

His fighting style mixes with his batting skills, so that’s a nice touch to it

[velvetdood]

Man Fights like a 7/11 crackhead... But he makes it fun

[nott]

Bro still got that baseball spirit in him

[TrickyJebus]

his fighting style is way slower and more sluggish than Saejima

[Calibree]

i like his fighting style it's more focused on grabbing (kinda like how tanimura is focused on parrying) he may not have a double finishing blow but you can use "My Explosive Finish" which is basically grabbing after a finishing blow.

[longphan]

havent played him yet, but i could feel like a very unrefined style to his attacks. Like its the very definition of "thug" where he just do random stuff and use weapons like a normal thug would be on the street. Heck his moveset feel more "thug" than Majima's thug style, which was quite refined in its own way all thing considered.
Though i wish they also gave him a more slugger-like stance like Majima and also encourage players to use weapons with him since many players just skip alot portion of weapons in most Yakuza games simply because "if we can beat the game barefist, why even use weapons?"

[Shadowrulzalways]

He does have some jujutsu grappling in his style. He may have trained years ago but got sluggish due to his baseball career. Not much is known about his backstory.

[kiemacncheese]

shinada's style is the most realistic yakuza fighting style out of any character in this verse

[theeyetriangle]

At least he gets the sickest katana heat action in the game

[bluscout]

His fighting style matches his personality but his weapon skill is that of a professional his level.
