Kazuma Kiryu VS Kunio

[Tonygameman]

Chose this match for many similarities.

Both are 9-A and their speed is equalized. Kazuma Kiryu doesn't use equipment.

Kazuma Kiryu: 0

Kunio: 0

Inconclusive: 0

So Kiryu has an AP advantage of 1.393x and arguably has more combat experience than Kunio due to handily winning out against Jo Amo, who's repeatedly known for his weird near-death training antics, with the first training regimen lasting for 17 years and bordering on insanity and even using a copy machine to absorb the skill of hundreds of fighters all over the world just to get at Kiryu, and then there's also Kiryu's invulnerability via Extreme Heat Mode that should more or less take care of Kunio's 100x amp. I'll vote Kiryu via slight AP advantage, usage of invulnerability and arguably better fighting skill.

 

[Ecstasy_Amphetamine]

He needs to eat to gain a hundred fold amp

But yeah reasoning seems solid, true Yakuza don't recognize Israel as a legitimate state FRA

bruh delet dat before breaker majima breaks yer nico nico kneecaps

 

[Meshifuari_Arimota]

Kiryu doesn't use equipment... What about Kunio tho?

 

[KLOL506]

Kunio just uses basic stuff you can find all around, like pipes, brass knuckles, crates, chains and the like. Everything Kiryu is heavily experienced against. It's on his profile.

 

[Absaddie]

Would you wager Kiryu has more stamina?

 

[Absaddie]

Concerning speed although I know it's equalized here, if you compare that animation where Riki/Kunio do multiple punches at once to how fast the bullets go in the games you might get hypersonic on a comparable scale or greater than Kiryu.

Not saying this would give him the win though. (also heard they can dodge lightning in Underground, not sure if that's true though, same with a technique that throws you around orbit or something to that effect, both are mentioned in the respect thread linked on his page by the way) but I think Kunio could do with a speed revision

 

[KLOL506]

KIryu's definitely got the stamina edge here too, if Majima's anything to go by. Kiryu's notorious for being his own one-man-army without needing the assistance of anyone else.

Also speed is equal here so the upgrades are irrelevant.

 

[Absaddie]

I know, I recognized that.

 

[KLOL506]

So, who are ya voting?

 

[Absaddie]

Gonna have to go with Kiryu, seems to have a lot more variety and a lot more fighting experience along with what seems to be more endurance. Though Kunio could have a small leg up in some of his unorthodox techniques like his hurricane kick though Kiryu has dealt with stranger especially with Jo Amon.

I mentioned the speed thing because with a good enough revision there might not be need to have speed equalizing for once and may make for a more interesting matchup but that'll have to wait for now.

 

[Absaddie]

Doesn't Kunio also have a super state just like Kiryu does in Y5 or something to that effect?

 

[KLOL506]

Yes but that requires Kunio to eat.

Also Heat Mode became a thing after Yakuza 3 and was officially canonized in Kiwami 2. Just saiyan

 

[Absaddie]

Can Kunio eat here, also what is it he needs to eat?

Would his extreme heat mode be comparable to Kunio's super state?

Thought I had posted this reply ages ago whoopsie

 

[KLOL506]

Yeah, it is comparable, plus Kiryu gets limited Invulnerability with Extreme Heat Mode.

Also Kiryu still has a versatility and combat skill gap to boot.

 

[Absaddie]

Think Kunio's teleportation would help him?

 

[KLOL506]

Prolly not since Komaki Tiger Drop is a thing.

 

[Absaddie]

Tiger Drop helps with anything really, he wouldn't know the timing for the teleportation until at least after its use though

 

[KLOL506]

Extreme Heat Mode would take care of getting affected by hits. Kiryu would take damage, but he'd be immunized to even reacting to it.

 

[Meshifuari_Arimota]

Wait this is Kiryu from Yakuza 0 or Y6?

 

[Tonygameman]

Wait this is Kiryu from Yakuza 0 or Y6?

Probably Yakuza 0 on his render.

 

[Tonygameman]

Bump.

 

[KLOL506]

Kiryu got bumped to 350 megajoules so he's got a 2.511x AP advantage.
