Shenmue's fighting system was K I N O and didn't deserve most of the criticism it got

I don't remember the fighting system ever getting criticized?

This is what some people said at the time, though it got its fair share of praise.

That's nice, but can you tell me where to find sailors?

I don’t remember fighting this girl at all, and I’ve played through Shenmue 2 four times in different formats. Even platinumed the remaster. When/where was this??

the combat system works for 1vs1 but is horrible for multiple enemies.

I wish there was a single new game that tried to be like Shenmue, Deadly Premonition is the closest and that's about it. I hope the Yakuza devs eventually borrow elements like the day-night cycle and NPC routines

Perhaps they're out

Two of my favorite games of all time, yet never considered any connection between them whatsoever

This looks so bad. Jesus.

Wasn't it basically Virtua Fighter just ripped and slapped into a different game? That's what I always heard. Which would explain why the third one had a shit combat system.

The reason people dropped shenmue was because of the mandatory 4 hour long arc of being a forklift driver.

Considering that the combat system is literally just "Virtua Fighter"-light, who the fuck was criticizing it?
The only solid complaints relate to fighting multiple enemies at once and not getting more mileage out of it. Where Shenmue 3 proceeded to go in a completely different direction

Its so good that I wish we got 3D Beat-em-ups with this combat system. Just needs something like the targeting system and strafing from Spikeout to make something really compelling

getting beat up by girls is my fetish.
i purposely lose to girls in every game i play, including shenmue. this is shenmue 2 and you just game over iirc, but losing to the sukeban girls in 1 you get wounded pride and the game continues on

Combine the sidestep dodge of VF with the strafing of Spikeout, (basically something akin to Onimusha Warlord's style of going seamlessly from a sidestep into a strafe) and we may have something solid here.
Just gotta get rid of infinite wall combos and being able to keep juggling enemies that are in a knockdown state

The only game recently thats felt close to Shenmue's combat is Sifu imo.
Even has the whole "pressing the run button to disengage and use a different moveset when re-engaging

>>713482152 (OP)
Well RGG seemed to think it was great by continuing what Shenmue started with the beat-em-up battles in the Yakuza and Judgement games.
And considering that Shenmue started off from VF, and that RGG are making the next VF, who knows if Yu Suzuki is able to reach out to them for help with the combat engine for the next Shenmue game.

That's because it was buried under the bloat that was the rest of the game
