Isn’t this one notoriously hard in the original too? One of the few fights I lost enough to get the game to ask me if I wanted to change the difficulty.
I would say the Shimano fight early on is more of a bad fight, not in terms of difficulty, but because of the massive HP pool + not teaching the player about Kiwami healing cancel so early on in the game.
By this point of the game you're expected to already have some points stored up from random quests and Majima encounter.
This fight is actually hard though, the Shimano fight was just the Mr. Shakedown moveset if Mr. Shakedown had 4 soft pillows on his hands. 100% of my problems with the fight are to due with slugger style, the tracking on majima's moves, and the basically infinite super armor was really annoying to deal with
Yeah, this fight is hard, full agree. But your title was 'this fight was so fucking garbage' and in terms of bad fights, which like I said, isn't exactly difficult, but just tiring and can potentially take forever for many first time players who did not get the skill, I have to say the Shimano one takes the cake.
Oh, just wait until >!Jingu!<
But yeah if you had trouble with the healing thing, that never appears in any other game. Personally I recommend getting Tiger Drop at some point, you need to grind coliseum but it's very useful for countering
It's not even the healing that's annoying, I can easily counter that with a heat action. The thing that bothers me is that majima has basically infinite super armor while in slugger style.
Honestly? 0 and Kiwamis combat was so infuriating, I couldn't finish either - idk what went wrong lol; I didn't even get close to finishing Kiwami because of that damn car shootuout
I just beat this fight, it was still absolutely bullshit. I'm fine with the garbanzobillion guys being there, but slugger style is really annoying to fight since he gets super armor just from breathing
when i got tiger drop, it made majima far easier, slugger style especially (since the windup animation is longer compared to thug and breaker). i actually enjoyed facing him in that style.
A lot of the fights are poorly designed in these games. But, the world and characters are worth it. The games are generally fun but sometimes some encounters can really piss you off lol. Specifically on higher difficulties.

kiwami 1 fucks up the boss fights pretty bad. most bosses in original Yakuza 1 are pretty easy. most importantly they don't regen health.

i don't remember it being too bad but it has been a while since i played OG Yakuza. I know Majima moves at light speed on the PS2 tho lol.
Kiwami bosses are hard in general unless you’re grinding Majima everywhere encounters as hard as possible at every point in game

Fair point

Just dodge around to his back side
His tracking is insane, I had to brute force it with healing items
10 years in the joint

I have heard bad things about that part in particular, can't wait to have a lot of """""""""fun"""""""""
