Saejima ruins Yakuza 4

what a slow ass ♥♥♥♥ character

The worst part of this game is the dedicated grabber enemies that can chain grab you immediately after you smack them away. Noting that it's really annoying to be Saejima. Hoping to god you can get a swing in before they grab you then the entire crowd descends upon you to bounce you against a wall for a few minutes. The super armor that lets you power through everything and the low hp skills all fit together nice though. Different playstyle just gotta get used to it.

block hit block hit ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Oddly enough dodging works wonders.
He's not as speedy as he seems and tends to get himself stuck in his combos, giving a decent enough opening to whack him in the back.
If you don't have re-block unlocked, blocking doesn't quite work on him, because that damn stick keeps breaking you block on the first hit of his combo.

Although I only got that figured out when I fought him with Kiryu.
lol I kinda lucked through it with Saejima because I had enough powerdrinks to survive.

Just grab the enemies back when you're in tight situation. Stop spamming combo when those dimwits are gang up on you.

most of saejima chapter you are kind of locked because cops are everywhere... leaving you just short time for substories...

[fejota]

For Saejima it's best to early spend points on combo speed and finishing moves. The prision level is horrible though.
I like the fact that Saejima looks a little like the protagonist of Hatred

dude saejima can turn the kiryu boss fight into a joke on ex hard what are you on

[Venix]

Are you kidding? Hes a powerhouse.

I actually like Saejima's fighting style but his fight with Kiryu was too hard. That's because Kiryu's fight comes too early. If it were possible to unlock more of Saejima's abilities before Kiryu then it would be easier.

After tonimura, would take Saejima over him. While his heat moves are cool, are useless against bosses and his parry just sucks.

Combat in this game sucks. I've played 0, 1, 2, 3, and 7 and this is the first game I've been tempted to skip. Saejima is already bad, now people are saying the guy after him isn't any better? I'll just watch the cutscenes on YT.

Combat is fine, saejima is fun. Don't really get the dislikes...

This is far better then 3, upgrade and learn there skills not that hard if anything he is the easiest to use in the game.

Though, I didn't say anything about it being difficult. Just dull. I survived Yakuza 3 because I liked the orphanage, the Okinawan backdrop, and likeable side characters. I know the combat in that one isn't great either.

The orphanage, ruined the games paced doesn’t help that it hardly plays any role in 4 can’t say for 5. You should play them more saejima has a great move set minus some heat move setups.
