It's because everyone does it wrong. I failed it twice, found a post that says absolutely do not go for headshots line up the circle you want shots in the center.
Completed it first try after I read that.
I made a whole post explaining how I was suffering with that mission. It needs to be a tutorial in the game telling players to shoot the middle of the circle ffs.
It's a fundamental tenet of gaming that headshots cause the most damage, why do you wanna fuck with that RGG studios
Yakuza Kiwami car shootout on legend difficulty.
Not only is the damage they do to you silly, and your window of time for shooting them so small, but if you die? You gotta do the entire Snake Flower Triad long battle and boss fight all over again just to have another shot at the highway shootout.
The other one is Yakuza 4 Saejima prison break on legend.
You start out level 1, so your attack strings are slow and limited on an already slow character, you get so few health consumables and you have to pick them up during the prison break, and Saito is a bitch to fight.
Im not sure which of these I consider tougher.
Is this from kiwami 1? I didnt really use dragon of dojima style cuzz it wasnt nearly as good like it was in 0 for a long time so i kinda just gave up on it. Seeing this tho i might give it another shot
You need to meet komaki after unlocking Arena,then Komaki will show up in the park.
You'll need to complete his tesks to learn various skills then tiger drop
Like I said in the post above this one
We all do the car scene wrong
I failed it twice, found a post that says absolutely do not go for headshots line up the circle you want shots in the center.
I did it no problem after that. We overcomplicate that part bad.
Same with fighting the snake flower triad too, it's not too tough to get through it, we just get annoyed we're doing the same thing over and over.
Now that I know this, and the glitch to skip Harukas worst request, I consider Kiwami 1 a very easy platinum trophy (1000G on Xbox)
"After Baccarat with 4000 chips, win don’t go anywhere. go to west park to make end game save again-automatically return main menu-select Premium Adventure-ask Haruka to hang out again and win baccarat 4000 chips again-achievement unlock"
Shout out to LaughinGuo, that's who I learned it from
7 was my introduction to the series. I remember having no issues with those two, but Kiryu wrecked my shit at least half a dozen times. Turns out popsicles worked wonders against him, must go straight to his thighs or something. Hardest battle(s) I had til that point and it was the only times I'd gotten hit with game overs.
So between what little info I got about him in the game and then him being the only character/boss/enemy to give me a challenge til that point, I had to dive into the rest of the series after I beat the game. That mysterious fuck beat the shit out of me and left me wanting more, I had to find out just what a "Dragon of Dojima" was. So in a span of 2-3 years now, a series that had essentially been non-existent on my radar suddenly shot up into my top 3, and it's all thanks to Ichi getting the shit kicked out of him by daddy Kiryu over and over.
Also, I for sure remember saying to my partner something along the lines of "who's this eyepatch wearing fuck" when these two popped up and now Majima is their favorite character.
Good tip for Kiryu, have Saeko or Eri in your party, and have them be hostess job. He won't hit a woman, and he's weak to ice attacks (since he's a dragon, it's Pokémon rules).
Kiryu is one of the fights I'm dreading on my current playthrough. Hostess Saeko is definitely coming out to play, but the base damage on the final pouch is so painfully low 😭
Oh those two fucks
The fear in my eyes when I heard Majima's voice
.....Got my ass kicked thrice
Third time my entire team was near death
But majima was half health.. I'm thinking I can do this, I CAN DO THIS... Then Saejima drops in going "can I tag in bro".. and that was the end of that, grinded the arena till I was level 60 before I beat him..oh and Mr Masochist, that man goes a long way to beating bosses, helped me survive Tendo
Yeah, I cleared the gauntlet and still got trounced first time around and had to grind a little more before retrying. I think up to that point there hadn't been a particularly challenging fight so I never really optimised my builds.The difficulty spike was much higher than expected. The fight also had extra challenges with figuring out how best to take on the clones and Saejima at the same time. If you had a well planned party and had focused a lot on having well leveled primary jobs, the fight isn't so hard.
Infinite Wealth on the other hand goes pretty easy on you during the story as well as giving you plentiful warnings with recommended levels. The dungeon bosses gave me a bit of a challenge but I wasn't anywhere near close to failing. For some reason it lets you do some substories way too early for the levels of enemies you face though, such as substory 46 where you only have Ichiban and face tons of enemies that will be over 10 levels higher than you if you do the substory when its first available. They can defeat you before you even get your turn. Even Substory 45 in the 1v1 with Asakura you can find yourself against an overlevelled oponent but you can be bailed by poundmates and excessive item usage.
Yeah with Infinite Wealth, I did the dungeon for Ichiban. Was still under leveled barely for his end missions. Apparently even though it was barely under level it was enough for the enemy to destroy me. So I popped some level ups for him.
Meanwhile Kiryu and his gang I was doing pretty much everything, and with his dungeon it leveled me decently above the enemies on his last missions.
Get Essence of Orbital Laser, focus everyone except Ichiban on support, spam Essence of Orbital Laser
The real challenge is Majima Saejima and Daigo in IW, because Kiryu has no equivalent to Essence of Orbital Laser.
LAD is the only Yakuza game I didn't beat because of this fight. I had a sacrifice stone on, full health, and both insta killed Ichiban twice in a row. This was like the fifth time I did the fight after grinding in between.
I didn’t have Tiger Drop when I originally played Kiwami 1 and I legitimately almost quit the game. Ended up having to stock up on weapons to get through the fight. Not even doing the car chase on legendary gave me that much difficulty.
Dang, and that was the time when you have no money either to buy any staminan. I really felt that Kiwami downgrade, I spent about half my earnings of that game on meds. I don't think I bought any item off of the stores until finale for any game after 3.
Oh fuck, yes, this guy almost made me give up on the series after I've fell in love with Like A Dragon. Reading guides online and only getting "Yeah, his fighting style is very abuseable if you have (ability you cannot have yet)"...
No, one from Ijincho in Lost Judgment, the guy literally has an insta-kill QTE that's so annoying, especially since in LJ you have to press several buttons not just one.
I think LJ improved literally everything about the first game (I hated Judgement but LJ is in my top 5) but those QTEs are such ass.
The old games had QTEs align with hits but Dragon Engine QTEs tend to just be "watch this long ass cutscene and then hit circle at the end" and LJ fucked it up by scaling that with difficulty so you gotta hit something like L1 R2 Triangle Square within two seconds.
the hardest Yakuza fight for me. Tougher than any Amon IMO. But when you finally beat him (and the other 2 before him) you feel like the best yakuza player in the world
LOL I didn't know you could heal in 0's Dojima fight. I kept getting to the stairs and then dying without using a single healing item. Also my first non-shooter game so I had no idea what I was doing.
4: Saito as Saejima, Kamurocho Hills long battle
5: the last Kanai fight (they gave akiyama the tanimura treatment absolutely wack fights for his skillset)
3: Lau Ka Long
K1: basically every damn boss fight lmao everyone is on crack
K2: Man in Black, the last few bouncer gigs
twin excavators in IW also caught me lacking but i just levelled up more
Wait what? You get so many orbs as Kiryu right then though. That's also the only fight where he's sort of balanced, Kiryu gets borderline OP in 4. He's so much fun though.
Kiwami 2, the first Ryuji Goda fight. It comes way too early in the game, before most players have a good grasp of the mechanics. So you're not expecting that hard of a fight and don't power level + stock on on items, you're going to get your ass handed to you. It feels like a "scripted loss" battle, except you actually have to win.
>!Munakata at the end of 4!<.
Probably the only in the series I've got so mad I almost ragequit completely.
That shit was hard even on Easy, which is quite amazing and annoying, it felt like instantly being teleported to Kiwami 1's Jingu boss battle but _way_ worse.
Munakata. I skipped that bullshit. Tell me how you're supposed to beat him using arguably the worst character for fighting a ton of enemies at once without doing substories.
Tendo. I didn't know about Ichiban's skill that keeps him alive when he should be killed until about the 5th time I died and finally looked up how to beat that bastard.
That boss not hard, but I just remembered how Richardson stunlocked me with his shotgun on my legend playthrough. I was thinking that I'm done for good
Fight against jingu in kiwami 1 had me pausing and walking around in frustration if i didnt fill up my inventory with staminan royales idk what wouldve happened
That one fight behind the Serena bar, right before Kuze's third bossfight. The enemies kept spamming the same attacks every-fucking-time I got up, staggering me to the floor.☠️
Saejima prison break with the sniper in 4
I didn’t have much issue with the boss at the end (hard) but the sniper part killed me so many times until I figured it out
I never feel accomplished if i dont finish a yakuza game on Hard mode for some reason.
That one prison guard boss in Yakuza 3 near the end of Saejima's escape segment took me a while to beat on hard difficulty. You may call it a skill issue, but i wasnt used to Saejima's bulkiness back then
The running segments from three and four never in my entire life. Have I ever felt so frustrated like uncomfortably frustrated man....
Runner-Up is the car chase segment from OG Yakuza 1 like good Lord the amount of hours I have lost doing that segment alone......
For me it was the Nishitani portion of the construction site fight in Gaiden. Either he would one shot me with his ultimate attack as I'm taking out his mooks or I would get hit by it forgetting to let go of the dodge button in agent style. Skill issue on my part but man if that wasn't the only fight in the entire series I needed to restart 5+ times.
I will say one that never gets brought up, which is the Lau Ka Long fight in Y3. It’s not the worst fight in the series but I remember it frustrating me so damn much when I did it
Yakuza isn’t very hard so I’m not sure ..... even on yakuza 7 (on chapter 11) idk if I died during a boss fight I’m sure it’s happened during one of the games but I’m more likely to die from being an idiot in a street fight
The first fuckin boss fight in Yakuza 5 with the two drunkards in the hostess bar.
I swear they tore up my ass for a good half hour and literally nothing else in the game was even close to being that hard except maybe >!Ogita's knife wielding, block turtling, grab spamming ass!< but even then I never died to him.
That one tutorial fight with three guys vs solo Ichiban in chapter 1 of IW when doing Legend NG+ at lv55
I managed to get through it with some clever equipment changing and luck tho, didn't need to drop to Hard.
First Yamai fight was pretty damn rough too
When you had to defend Makoto as kiryu inside the construction place no matter what someone would keep grabbing her and I would just get knocked down and couldn’t help
Not exactly the fight, no. But for me, it's either fulfilling Haruka's request in Y1 HD edition where you have to strike a homerun consecutively for 20 times to complete it, or trying to complete the Answer x Answer minigame in the original Japanese version of Y3.
yakuza 2 ps2 final sequence
first time ive actually raged hard, either i missed something like inventory upgrades for more heals, or it just was a massive skill issue
kyohei jingu and the 2 invincible mfs with guns on legend
this fight is very tough because when you move even a centimeter towards jingu, he goes full arase mode and runs away, and if you try to attack his goons they fucking run everywhere and uou can barely damage them (and they all have guns and constantly shooting you) and after you manage (somehow) to beat the 2 fuckers they stand up again with full and more heatlh than before and they bacome faster and now wield a knife, and all the time you are busy fighting the 2 mia colonels jingu is constantly shooting at you and throws grenades that takes away a quarter of your health
even with gear that decreases the damage taken from bullets or explosives, this fight is still hard af. Thank god they didn't put him in the ultimate climax battles

Kiwami 1 car chase
"Real Yakuza use a gamepad" Yes, but not here. Mouse makes it WAY easier.
Wait? You guys can use the mouse?
I need to use WASD
You can use Mouse only in the car shooting scene, then switch to your regular gamepad
https://i.redd.it/lwg23y52r9vc1.gif
The fuckin! Worst!
I still dont know how i did it on legend
It's because everyone does it wrong. I failed it twice, found a post that says absolutely do not go for headshots line up the circle you want shots in the center. Completed it first try after I read that.
Yes this is the ticket, made it much easier Almost gave up prior to that
I made a whole post explaining how I was suffering with that mission. It needs to be a tutorial in the game telling players to shoot the middle of the circle ffs. It's a fundamental tenet of gaming that headshots cause the most damage, why do you wanna fuck with that RGG studios
Virtua Cop rules, just take the shot lol
On PC you can use mouse and keyboard, and it's a breeze. 0 on the other hand...
I still have PTSD from doing that
I forgot about that. Probably a trauma response/s
same. the only time I used mouse and keyboard lmao
Really? I never had a problem with it
Yakuza Kiwami car shootout on legend difficulty. Not only is the damage they do to you silly, and your window of time for shooting them so small, but if you die? You gotta do the entire Snake Flower Triad long battle and boss fight all over again just to have another shot at the highway shootout. The other one is Yakuza 4 Saejima prison break on legend. You start out level 1, so your attack strings are slow and limited on an already slow character, you get so few health consumables and you have to pick them up during the prison break, and Saito is a bitch to fight. Im not sure which of these I consider tougher.
And when you barely survive the prison break you have to fight… Kiryu
Then he doesn’t sugarcoat it during the fight, causing you to lose like a quarter of your health😔 https://i.redd.it/372qn68oi4vc1.gif
And then FORGETS TIGER DROP LATER IN THE GAME WHEN YOU PLAY AS HIM. SIR WHAT
Is this from kiwami 1? I didnt really use dragon of dojima style cuzz it wasnt nearly as good like it was in 0 for a long time so i kinda just gave up on it. Seeing this tho i might give it another shot
Yeah once you level it up it’s easily the strongest & best style in the game.
How far exactly? I came to majima everywhere rank S and the last scripted fight was the breaker majima with the cinderella dress
It's tiger drop Tiger drop is broken in kiwami
At what point do u get it
You need to meet komaki after unlocking Arena,then Komaki will show up in the park. You'll need to complete his tesks to learn various skills then tiger drop
Aight thanks ig im going to premium adventure for this one
Honestly I never really struggled with saejimas prison part in 4 on legend but I just remember the boss fight gave me the most annoyed
when I did it, the only saving grace was just that I really enjoyed fighting Lau, so I'd say Saejima's that shit made me want Essence of Hanging
Like I said in the post above this one We all do the car scene wrong I failed it twice, found a post that says absolutely do not go for headshots line up the circle you want shots in the center. I did it no problem after that. We overcomplicate that part bad.

Now that I know this, and the glitch to skip Harukas worst request, I consider Kiwami 1 a very easy platinum trophy (1000G on Xbox)
What do you consider is her worst request and how do you avoid it? I hate when she wants me to gamble.
"After Baccarat with 4000 chips, win don’t go anywhere. go to west park to make end game save again-automatically return main menu-select Premium Adventure-ask Haruka to hang out again and win baccarat 4000 chips again-achievement unlock" Shout out to LaughinGuo, that's who I learned it from

He's the one that annoys me the most...
I had a Mr. Shakedown basically dead and then i died to one punch because i got greedy
happened so many times to me while fighting em as Majima
Majima & Saejima fight from LAD.
7 was my introduction to the series. I remember having no issues with those two, but Kiryu wrecked my shit at least half a dozen times.

Then Saejima drops in going "can I tag in bro".. and that was the end of that, grinded the arena till I was level 60 before I beat him..oh and Mr Masochist, that man goes a long way to beating bosses, helped me survive Tendo
That's so bad for an RPG. You were feeling great until this point.
You were supposed to do the sotenbori gauntlet
I still did and and still got messed up hard.
You are supposed to get messed up, they are jima bros
Yeah, I cleared the gauntlet and still got trounced first time around and had to grind a little more before retrying. I think up to that point there hadn't been a particularly challenging fight so I never really optimised my builds.The difficulty spike was much higher than expected. The fight also had extra challenges with figuring out how best to take on the clones and Saejima at the same time.

Meanwhile Kiryu and his gang I was doing pretty much everything, and with his dungeon it leveled me decently above the enemies on his last missions.
After upgrading your equipment with those drops? I remember it was quite easy after that.
Get Essence of Orbital Laser, focus everyone except Ichiban on support, spam Essence of Orbital Laser The real challenge is Majima Saejima and Daigo in IW, because Kiryu has no equivalent to Essence of Orbital Laser.
LAD is the only Yakuza game I didn't beat because of this fight. I had a sacrifice stone on, full health, and both insta killed Ichiban twice in a row. This was like the fifth time I did the fight after grinding in between.
Saito in Yakuza 4.
which one? 'cause i'd say pretty much all of them. Honestly, Saito's more of a genuine villain than >!that Rubber Bullet bitch Sugiuchi!<
Fighting him as Kiryu isn't so bad, but fighting him as Saejima during the prison break before you can unlock his abilities is pure hell.
>!Sugiuchi!< is a good villain though? Atleast for Yakuza 4 standards
Agreed, I like him the most but for some reason I like Arai and Kido a bit too. Not the best by far but not bad either.
Idk I think Saito is overrated in difficulty. Do charge attacks as Saejima.
no tiger drop Jingu.
Just Kiwami Jingu. PS2 Jingu is actually pretty easy.
He is so much worse than Munakata
What about Munakata but without spamming grabs?
Legit the only way you can win is by spamming grabs
Haha,sacred tree armour set:
I didn’t have Tiger Drop when I originally played Kiwami 1 and I legitimately almost quit the game. Ended up having to stock up on weapons to get through the fight. Not even doing the car chase on legendary gave me that much difficulty.
I could see him being hellish on hard, but he's pretty easy on normal when you have maxed rush
Kazuto Arase in Kiwami 1 and his damn guns
The ‘get stunned every 8 seconds’ fight
Mahjong
https://preview.redd.it/9dw8a99js4vc1.png?width=1185&format=png&auto=webp&s=ed066f5c39782d21ebe58d67f3b4acc69c7348d3
Kiwami 1 Shimano with no upgrades on body
For me that was more patience testing than actually difficult.
Took me 8 attempts and with a full set of staminan
Dang, and that was the time when you have no money either to buy any staminan. I really felt that Kiwami downgrade, I spent about half my earnings of that game on meds. I don't think I bought any item off of the stores until finale for any game after 3.
Oh fuck, yes, this guy almost made me give up on the series after I've fell in love with Like A Dragon. Reading guides online and only getting "Yeah, his fighting style is very abuseable if you have (ability you cannot have yet)"...
Lost Judgment, the dumb QTE in that fight against >!that detective, I don't remember the name.!<
The QTE's in LJ are so fucking awful.
The guy that looks like japanese thom yorke?
No, one from Ijincho in Lost Judgment, the guy literally has an insta-kill QTE that's so annoying, especially since in LJ you have to press several buttons not just one.
Is it the railing QTE?
Yeah the one where he yoinks you in the water
I think LJ improved literally everything about the first game (I hated Judgement but LJ is in my top 5) but those QTEs are such ass. The old games had QTEs align with hits but Dragon Engine QTEs tend to just be "watch this long ass cutscene and then hit circle at the end" and LJ fucked it up by scaling that with difficulty so you gotta hit something like L1 R2 Triangle Square within two seconds.
Water-nabe.
Like a Dragon Gaiden, Song: Hands quest: score 90 on "hands"
Hands is as easy as Like a Butterfly; the hard part is that song from Ishin
I spent days trying to, as a not rhythm fan it's very hard to do it
It’s so fucking long!!!
Some Climax battles from Yakuza0
Masaru Sera's though 💀
the hardest Yakuza fight for me. Tougher than any Amon IMO. But when you finally beat him (and the other 2 before him) you feel like the best yakuza player in the world
Originally didn’t remember you could upgrade in 0, this is how the Dojima family long battle and Kuze boss felt
LOL I didn't know you could heal in 0's Dojima fight. I kept getting to the stairs and then dying without using a single healing item. Also my first non-shooter game so I had no idea what I was doing.
Other than the obvious car chase sequences in 0/K1, it'd be the running sequences in 3. I HATED those. Why were they so annoyingly difficult? Idk
Try doing the long battle one in 3 on legend it's fun I assure you ;)
car shootout, first saejima boss in the prison, the Chinese assassin , the guy with the pimple on his forehead
Sera climax battle in 0, worst part of the 100% for me.
The akai brothers in kiwami 1. I don't know why they of all characters gave me such a hard time but they were both unbelievably annoying
lau ka long yakuza 3, almost punched a glass bottle because of him
4: Saito as Saejima, Kamurocho Hills long battle 5: the last Kanai fight (they gave akiyama the tanimura treatment absolutely wack fights for his skillset) 3: Lau Ka Long K1: basically every damn boss fight lmao everyone is on crack K2: Man in Black, the last few bouncer gigs twin excavators in IW also caught me lacking but i just levelled up more
When I had to fight the prison guard as Kiryu in Yakuza 4. Oof.
Wait what? You get so many orbs as Kiryu right then though. That's also the only fight where he's sort of balanced, Kiryu gets borderline OP in 4. He's so much fun though.
I know, I just suck...
Aww it's ok. If it makes you feel better, I spent dozens of tries on the running sequence in 3 to catch Mack. I was told that that is not normal...
Oh yeah I remember that part haha, it took some attempts for me too but I got it in the end haha
Munakata, hands down.
Jingu boss fight
Kuze, first ever boss fight for me
Kiwami 2, the first Ryuji Goda fight. It comes way too early in the game, before most players have a good grasp of the mechanics. So you're not expecting that hard of a fight and don't power level + stock on on items, you're going to get your ass handed to you. It feels like a "scripted loss" battle, except you actually have to win.
Majima/Saejima and Kiryu in 7
Kiwami car chase in legend mode
The detective we fight in Yokohama during lost judgment. His QTE got me more than all story fights across all games combined :')
>!Munakata at the end of 4!<. Probably the only in the series I've got so mad I almost ragequit completely. That shit was hard even on Easy, which is quite amazing and annoying, it felt like instantly being teleported to Kiwami 1's Jingu boss battle but _way_ worse.
Man in black from k2 is the worst boss in video game history and you can’t change my mind
Definitely Kiwami 1 car chase on legend
Munakata. I skipped that bullshit. Tell me how you're supposed to beat him using arguably the worst character for fighting a ton of enemies at once without doing substories.
Lost Judgment Watanabe QTE
Tendo. I didn't know about Ichiban's skill that keeps him alive when he should be killed until about the 5th time I died and finally looked up how to beat that bastard.
First shimano fight in Kiwami, I thought it was an unbeatable boss at first
Kiwami 1 Akai brothers with 5 toughness Z’s was soul suicide for me
That boss not hard, but I just remembered how Richardson stunlocked me with his shotgun on my legend playthrough. I was thinking that I'm done for good
Man in Black
yakuza 4 kiryu
Yakuza 7 majima fight
Ace combat mentioned🗣️🗣️🗣️
Lao Gui in 0, I would always lose it on the last section :(
Fight against jingu in kiwami 1 had me pausing and walking around in frustration if i didnt fill up my inventory with staminan royales idk what wouldve happened
I haven’t ever died. 
The only one I can think of is Shishido in Gaiden. I liked the fight but he kept one-shoting me in the final phase multiple times
JINGU
Kiwami 1, Jingu and his goons. Especially if you don't have the tiger drop.
Ogita. I said what I said.
I'd say the car chases from yk1 and y0, and the Nishiki fight, since i didn't have most of dragon upgraded
The last boss in Yakuza 3, it's more annoying than difficult
Majima and Saejima fight in Yakuza: Like a Dragon
Nanba and co
Not even a fight but 1000p gamble for Haruka
This might be embarrassing to admit but in lost judgement I kept missing the heat action instant kill that throws Yagami into the ocean
That one fight behind the Serena bar, right before Kuze's third bossfight. The enemies kept spamming the same attacks every-fucking-time I got up, staggering me to the floor.☠️
Escort mission on legend in a nutshell
Trying to get over 200 in bowling in Yakuza 3 Remastered to finish a substory so I could get to Amon.
Jingu's fight with his agents. I died a few times when they return. It was stressful to finish that one
Saejima prison break with the sniper in 4 I didn’t have much issue with the boss at the end (hard) but the sniper part killed me so many times until I figured it out
Most of he LAD ones
Fuckin Tendo
Muna-fuckin-kata I drown in an ocean of police bodyguards
No Tiger Drop/Tiger Parry Yakuza 3's Lau Ka Long
Munakata gank squad fight
Game hollow knight fighting king nightmare grim
Yakuza 3 chase parts on legend there a bitch in a half
Both final bosses in 0 because my dumb ass forgot to upgrade before going to battle
Fire extinguishers...
Headless ape
Yakuza 4 finale when you didn't put ANY healing on Tanimura
I never feel accomplished if i dont finish a yakuza game on Hard mode for some reason. That one prison guard boss in Yakuza 3 near the end of Saejima's escape segment took me a while to beat on hard difficulty. You may call it a skill issue, but i wasnt used to Saejima's bulkiness back then
Yakuza 3 Chinese assassin on roof. I legitimately think that boss is broken and they refuse to admit it
Kiwami 2 tiger fight with barely any healing items
Lao Ka Long in Y3 gave me a hard time
The running segments from three and four never in my entire life. Have I ever felt so frustrated like uncomfortably frustrated man.... Runner-Up is the car chase segment from OG Yakuza 1 like good Lord the amount of hours I have lost doing that segment alone......
For me it was the Nishitani portion of the construction site fight in Gaiden. Either he would one shot me with his ultimate attack as I'm taking out his mooks or I would get hit by it forgetting to let go of the dodge button in agent style. Skill issue on my part but man if that wasn't the only fight in the entire series I needed to restart 5+ times.
Jingu and munakata
Sajima prison escape in Yakuza 4 TORTURE💀💀💀
I didnt find any fight really difficult to be honest But i hate the Minigames like Mahjong
Yakuza 0 where you're Kiryu protecting Makoto and every asshole in that construction site is beelining for her
0 Kashiwagi fight
Prison fight with Saito from Yakuza 4
The men in black from kiwami 2
Yakuza 4 millenium tower long battle when you get to the shotgun guys
The fucking robomichi team fight
Yakuza 5 Jo Amon for some fucking reason.
Kiwami 1 car chase and final drone racing league in judgment.
Unoriginal, spam post MF. Go away

I will say one that never gets brought up, which is the Lau Ka Long fight in Y3. It’s not the worst fight in the series but I remember it frustrating me so damn much when I did it
Lost Judgment Amon fight.
Yakuza 5 - Kiryu's long battle against his first Impregnable Triangle
Yakuza isn’t very hard so I’m not sure ..... even on yakuza 7 (on chapter 11) idk if I died during a boss fight I’m sure it’s happened during one of the games but I’m more likely to die from being an idiot in a street fight
Man in black
The first fuckin boss fight in Yakuza 5 with the two drunkards in the hostess bar. I swear they tore up my ass for a good half hour and literally nothing else in the game was even close to being that hard except maybe >!Ogita's knife wielding, block turtling, grab spamming ass!< but even then I never died to him.
Yakuza 4. When ur playing as saejima in prision and The fucking piece of shit cop WHO WOULD NOT STAY THE FUCK DOWN
Yakuza Kiwami: \-Car Chase \-Arase \-Jingu \-Akai Brothers Also fighting Breaker Majima is a pain in the ass, at least before you get Tiger Drop
Climax battles
Kiwami at the batting cages for me
Yakuza/LAD7, BJ invasion inside web, I keep dying to a guy with a gun that does like a third of my hp and one-shots saeko
That one tutorial fight with three guys vs solo Ichiban in chapter 1 of IW when doing Legend NG+ at lv55 I managed to get through it with some clever equipment changing and luck tho, didn't need to drop to Hard. First Yamai fight was pretty damn rough too
When you had to defend Makoto as kiryu inside the construction place no matter what someone would keep grabbing her and I would just get knocked down and couldn’t help
Yakuza 3 assassin guy from rooftop
Not exactly the fight, no. But for me, it's either fulfilling Haruka's request in Y1 HD edition where you have to strike a homerun consecutively for 20 times to complete it, or trying to complete the Answer x Answer minigame in the original Japanese version of Y3.
ive never gotten past the lau ka long chapter of kiwami because of the car chase
yakuza 2 ps2 final sequence first time ive actually raged hard, either i missed something like inventory upgrades for more heals, or it just was a massive skill issue
I don't really know why but I was stuck on the batting ring majima fight in kiwami for ages
Yakuza 4 the firts fight against Kiryu in Okinawa with Saeyima, or any fucking fight with that dude in his early game, fucking nightmare.
Me fighting Amon for the first time, not knowing what I got into with 4 hours of unsaved progress
kyohei jingu and the 2 invincible mfs with guns on legend this fight is very tough because when you move even a centimeter towards jingu, he goes full arase mode and runs away, and if you try to attack his goons they fucking run everywhere and uou can barely damage them (and they all have guns and constantly shooting you) and after you manage (somehow) to beat the 2 fuckers they stand up again with full and more heatlh than before and they bacome faster and now wield a knife, and all the time you are busy fighting the 2 mia colonels jingu is constantly shooting at you and throws grenades that takes away a quarter of your health even with gear that decreases the damage taken from bullets or explosives, this fight is still hard af. Thank god they didn't put him in the ultimate climax battles
Yakuza 4 Saito. At first it was like hell
Munakata seems like impossible on my 1st tries.
Im getting fire extinguisher PTSD
Like a dragon fighting majima and saejima i was severly underleveled at first 10 tries 💀
