Mr Shakedowns money can quadruple!!

[Godzilly ^~^]

anyone whos played this game a little knows you use mr shakedown as a walking stockmarket, for newbies i explain real quick:

you accumulate alot of money, let him beat you and take it, then you go and beat him up AFTER (IMPORTANT) getting some of the perks you buy at the shrine that increases the money he gives you when defeating him, you can get anything from 20-50% of the money you lost to him. pro tip, SINK ALL into real estate, the first 4 areas 100% give almost 1 billion, also recommendation dont waste early mr shakedown by doing this with low amount of money since his hp increases each win YOU get, so get like one or 2 billion first or more if you dont mind the grind, but do sink as much money into real estate and farm the money that way, worth it.

back to the topic, you can do it normally as mentioned above, or to double the money you lost to him, i figured this out first by remembering i lost 12 billion to him and he now had 25 billion ON HIM, so when i beat him i could get 30-40 billion due to that 20-50%, i figured out why, its when hes ASLEEP, basically if you let him take your money when he has low hp apparently one full bar for high level mr.shakedown is enough, or just let him take money, die, fight him again, get him low hp and then die, he'll eventually go to sleep on a bench, you can obviously take it BUT DONT, try to take it but intentionally wake him up by holding the button to grab money from him, then fight him and defeat him, for example, i lost 29 billion to him now hes asleep with 47 billion, and if i defeat him i could get 60-80+ billion.

some of yall pro players might know this but before i tested my theory i looked it up and no one said anything about this, no post.

newbie pro tip, use smoke gun which you get from the weapon/equipment search as goro majima on west europe, look for whats best.

TL:DR, make Mr. shakedown fall asleep by getting his hp low, either during the fight you lose money to him or after, boom the 10 billion you lost to him became 20 billion on him instead, boom when you wake him up and defeat him you got 30-40 billion.

Edit: For new people get a smoke gun, and instead get him low and lose to him either in two seperate fights or the same, then find him when hes asleep and steal the money since that probably dont increase shakedowns max hp/dosnt level him up.

The easiest way people do is have Kiryu have the bonus where you get 50% extra every time you beat him. Lose, win, lose, win, lose, win etc and your money soon snowballs into the trillions.

I did notice with Majima the money they have randomly increases, not sure how or why but if you figured something out thats cool.

If you have the time, you can also steal everything off a sleeping me shakedown. He will then walk around with 0 money.

It's not a good strategy in any way, but fun.

yeah, i mentioned that but actually, just now i thought of this, its probably more worth doing that even though you need to be a little more careful. even if its your first time fighting him its way more worth since youll double your money without increasing mr shakedowns max hp. so if you new and can hurt shakedown alot, get him down fairly low and then lose, find him at park bench sleeping and he should have double your money, while hes sleeping steal all the money and do it again, and again and again, and when you have several billion you can either continue or do the "lose sleep wake him up win" thing to earn maybe 4 times what you lost instead of 2x, in the long run the "get him low and steal money while hes asleep" is better.

i still dont see the reason why you should steal his money why he sleeping it kind of waste of time it take 10 time longer then just 1 standing still press 1 button end in 1 minute or less

it only wastes more time when shakedown is weak, not later game when hes strong, since he becomes WAY stronger when you beat him, if you beat him to much it takes longer to beat him and if you lose to him while getting him low he will get your, for example 10 billion, but when he sleeps the amount he carries doubles so he has 20 billion when sleeping 10x2=20, while it does sound dumb for people like us that can defeat later game shakedown without to much problem, early game people how i was before that couldnt i could still get him low back then so its a more profitable way since getting the smoke gun took a while and money. idk i just feel that way is better for new players in the long run.

i just thought of a theory if you can continue double his cash by losing to him while getting him low, so if we lost 10B to him, when we find him sleeping he gets 20b, but then we wake him up and get him low, and when hes sleeping again, will he get 40b and then continue gettin 80b>160>320b etc. ill test it.

Don't know where you went looking for info but there are multiple guides for Mr. Shakedown here on steam, YouTube and various sites which mentioned it in detail.

They all say to use Kiryu, since Goro doesn't have the perks to increase the money and you're right that it's an 50% increase. By just farming him for ca. 1 - 1 1/2h with win-lose-win-lose-strategy you will never have any money problems while 100% this game.

The money you get through Real Estate is pitiful slow and low in comparison but helps to get a solid base until you can use the tactic.

i searched on google and found no answer except the normal lose/win etc, no one mentioned that he doubled his money that he has on him when hes sleeping, from what i looked up and found im the first that acknowledged that.

Ah, I misread you. My bad. Then you might be really the first one to find this.

Would you say it is worth it time wise instead of just winning/losing as quick as possible or just a neat gimmick?

majima do have multiple for shakrdown at the end of the battle but i want to bet it random tho because out of 20 of them i beat only 2-3 of them multiple the cash

You're right. Seems to be based on chance and might have a cap how often it can happen.

"Majima does not have access to the deep pockets perk, however, it is possible to multiply his money too, only this is chance based. You see there is apparently a hidden bonus for beating Mr Shakedown, which on occasion will cause the money reward he drops to double."

it might just be me but i feel its worth it, then i again i havnt defeated shakedown till his final level if he has one, its probably more worth the lower level shakedown is. but maybe you can even continue doubling his money till he goes from 10 billion to a trillion on him, dont know, but i theorized if you lose to his and get him to sleep, you wake him up to beat him low hp again and get him to sleep, and do that over and over, but i havnt tried it.

is there a reason to even want to do it with majima? if theres a good reason, you can multiply his pockets by getting him to sleep since that probably works for both character.

Since Kiryu has the same extra chance according to the post I would say no. The deep pockets perk + extra chance is better and you can just send the money to Majima later.

Personally I had an easier time beating the Shakedowns with Majima in the beginning but that might differ for everyone. But I would and have sticked to Kiryu after unlocking the smoke/zap/slime gun.

i just thought of a theory if you can continue double his cash by losing to him while getting him low, so if we lost 10B to him, when we find him sleeping he gets 20b, but then we wake him up and get him low, and when hes sleeping again, will he get 40b and then continue gettin 80b>160>320b etc. ill test it.

This is not relevant. as you get more money your character also become stronger by upgrade

also you can just cheese through him with zap gun. you need invest around 20 million using Majima though, but you can easily defeat him in one minute or less even when your character under level. and i prefer it than wasting 10 minutes stealing from his sleep

i mean that i do know, its just not everyone can defeat him, especially early, and everyone wont have zap/smoke/*whatever* gun, especially early. but i noticed him doubling his held money when sleeping isnt 100% or i did something wrong.
