3 and 6 slander will not be taken in this household. I’m the biggest shooter for both.Funny, I don't remember Kiryu driving a taxi in 3 or 6
But seriously, I hope Kiryu gets a different opponent if he ever gets an actual episode.
I’d prefer Saichi Sugimoto from Golden Kamuy or Shizuo Heiwajima from Durarara! For Kiryu. Both lean much more into his actual character and story, as well as providing a much better fight dynamic that actually works with Kiryu’s martial artistry and adaptability in combat even better. Shizuo utilizes the environment in combat (his most popular render is literally him swinging a stop sign) and he leans way further into super human ability that could fit well into Yakuza, while Saichi is a brick wall who has a berserker state that could rival Kiryu’s Extreme Heat mode much better, and his insane survivability would make for a really intense fight.
Meanwhile Dom forces Kiryu to engage half the fight in car combat, a type of fighting he isn’t well known for and engages in literally only in side content in one game, and which then means he gets to take absolutely no usage of any of his interesting facets in a fight in the 2nd half (adaptability, multiple fighting styles, martial arts skill, environment usage & mastery, higher scale superhuman shit, his absolutely ridiculous arsenal size, his heat based abilities etc) all get shafted for this format.
I think Dom, besides just being a stupid shitpost matchup, is actively the worst choice for Kiryu on a thematics and animation potential end, and would ultimately end up wasting him. Considering he’s my favorite character of all time I really don’t want that / :
If you want a Fast & Furious vs Yakuza MU, got for Saejima vs Hobbes. Both fit much better, neither has to sacrifice a large portion of what they’re known for to make the fight work, Hobbes is blatantly superhuman in his movie which makes the whole fight dynamic two huge ******* brawlers going at it, and it also produces the 3rd consecutive L for the Rock on Death Battle lmfao.

Unfortunately I am possibly the biggest Yakuza 6 hater to ever exist.
Seriously though, I wouldn't say that I actually hate it, since I really do love the entire series. But it's definitely my least favorite.
I agree with pretty much everything you said here, jokes aside. I love Kiryu a lot, too; I've perfected every game in his saga (0-6) and I've put in almost two thousand hours across the whole series. I'd wanna see him get a real fight, and get the respect he deserves. Dom is a meme choice who literally couldn't even hurt Kiryu, let alone meaningfully interact with the majority of his abilities.

Ya know I forgot about that until u reminded me
Who knows what are there main audience is these days or who makes a large chunks of it

Nah Dom vs Kiryu existed as a shit post before DB did this cast episode
Pretty much Dom is a straight up shit post mu that should stay a shit post mu
I can't see Dom vs Kiryu work well in a modern DB format especially when it cripples one characters arsenal

What's the best match up for Kiryu. Ryo from Shenmue?
- 14,418

Perhaps a verse grounded like yakuza but somewhat close to the themes of the series too that could work as a scenario

So with Overwatch 2 dead, what are the chances of OW getting an MU?

He's talking about Yakuza 5.

Thematically that would kinda make sense, the only issue with that MU is that you'd basically be putting poor Ryo in a preemptive body bag.

Wei Shen from Sleeping Dogs is a popular one.

ya know some suggested Kazuya vs Kiryu

We all know thats worse then against Wesker

Like totally ignoring stats and lore and just focus on gameplay or game mechanics - all accompanying with stretched close connections

then ultimate
then beast
- in terms of escalation
it would start with on a slightly more campy side. Saiyaman vs Base size (edited)
Gohan ramps it up into ultimate
forcing Ultraman to go kaiju
then Gohan transforming into beat to match that
like I would imagine it would be a 3D fight
Ultraman kinda has the flashey Henshin stuff going on
so like play into the unique moves
I think some dimension shattering stuff would be cool though
I think in my mind the fight would kinda happen in a city
but like Gohan powering up would alter the weather or something

something like that

I'm talking about the other times "the worst ******* game in the series ruined things for him".

Its enough to see the cutscenes and tell it aint gonna work with yakuza, former is way beyond grounded level to work out
- 23,122
- 50,542
like the best you can do is base kazuya vs kiryu but other than that nah it just doesn't work especially the moment Kazuya brings out Devil
- 14,418
- 14,548
Even in base its not going well, he can shoot at Kiryu if he felt like it without devil form and call it a day, gg via speed blitz

He means like, "Yakuza 5 is ******* me over again"

Oh right, OmniLander failed to do 10 mil in a year. Only 9.6 mil. Clearly a disappointment :^)
But actually tho thats great. Are there other big eps that would attract casuals?

Yakuza 3 is my favorite and Okinawa was a great location

Sure that's a start. Then continue with Fortnite, FNAF, Undertale, or whatever the zoomies like nowadays.
Oh yeah I forgot to include this on why they do these casts. They try to cash in to what the hot topic of the week is with these casts most of the time. Though that hasn't really been working too well for them recently except for BB vs Ben 10 and Anne vs Luz.
I don't think Dom vs Kiryu is a necessarily a shitpost MU. If it was Dom vs Lightning McQueen, which was submitted on the ballot, then sure lol and I think it was Liam that said that Kiryu was an option for Dom in BB

You say that as if those franchises coming to DB wouldn't be based...
- 23,122
- 50,542
idk Makima vs Gojo, you're typical goku vs major big names mu etc
if normies were aware of Getter EmperorMade a TN for Simon vs Ryoma, this MU will literally never happen but I still love it
FNAF only has Springtrap for a workable rep
undertale is obvious
Fornite has jonesy
tbh i don't think catering to zoomies is that great of an idea 24/7
this would be perfect

I'd call it a shitpost MU more because it's just not very good, rather than because I don't think it's an idea they're genuinely considering.

I mean, a Goku vs Superman 3 is warranted at this point with how many years it's been and DC getting the umpteenth reboot
- 498
- 1,096
I hope they don't do that. Would it not ultimately just be the same video, again? Unless their thoughts on Supes have radically changed for some reason, I don't see why their conclusion would change.

Speaking of Indie RPGs, I still have my fingers crossed for Brad or Wayne to happen one day

Maybe, but it would be cool to see Goku's new forms in these matches or anything Superman can cook up

Goku shows up in DC as part of a Dr Manhattan style crossover. The entire Sphere of Gods breaks under the weight of his ki as he goes SSJ. As a SSJ Blue, he bullies the Hands, with Superman Prime One Million and the Thought-Robot watching on in awe as they say
"Goku is beyond us all! He... he might even be stronger than God/The Presence!"
- 498
- 1,096
It would be pretty cool. But honestly I just don't wanna see Goku get rolled, again
- 6,926
- 14,180
At one point GvS3 would have been neat. Season 5+ beyond DC still has it too good so dont waste Goku for that lol
Try Sailor Moon or Saint Seiya.
Also Dom vs Kiryu feels like borderline shitpost, since at first glance Fast & Furious having fighters sounds weird for non watcher lol

Not sure. You'd think it was pretty low, but all the shit-bashing is at the very least 'publicity' to these companies.
Dibs on Ana vs Sharla, for the record.
