Shimano? He was one of the easiest bosses for me. You need to watch his pattern and just punish him when he's vulnerable. He has a very simple moveset, but he likes to trick you a bit by using the same combo with a different number of strings, so you have to be a little cautious and not rush in right away every time.

Also it helps if you unlock Kiwami Heat Moves. It kinda trivializes the hardest part of the fight. (Bosses get stronger the lower their HP is.)

You have enough games in your library to know that its best to not rush the story and spend time upgrading your character before you get to each story mission
First boss will be difficult but then you are able to do side missions and get upgrades via exp

You got beaten by literally the slowest and most predictable boss in the game.

It takes literally a couple of minutes for any normal player to beat. Button mashing will get you nowhere.

I came here expecting the Jingu fight, but anyway, I can see why people can get upset with Shimano. For the most part combat in Yakuza is quick and brutal. Fights rarely last longer than a minute if you know what you're doing. But Shimano shows up and has buckets of health and is slow to show for it, and the rhythm of typical combat comes to a near stop. It can throw people off.

The only thing I can say is to be patient and grind through it. If you wanna look at it this way, it's a battle between two mountains of strength; who's going to erode first? Besides, Jingu is far, far worse. Oh my god he's so much worse.

It's kinda why I don't like Mr. Shakedown from Y0 as well. It's kinda tedious and takes a while to fight him.

Shimano I didn't mind because he's just a bit different and you have less punishment (but still kind of close to the same danger), but also he's a boss, not a reoccurring enemy that you are expected to grind constantly.

I might even argue that Shimano is a good boss thematically for how you have to fight him. Kiryu probably felt out of his depth in that moment.

I kept forgetting he has SHakedown's moveset when fighting Shimano and still manage to beat him lol

im fairly deep in game, but it was the only fight that took that long, hes very easy to beat in rush, hes just a replica of mr.shakedown from 0 so anyone with expirience would have no problem, i agree that his HP is kinda high, takes long time to beat him, but thankfully its the only fight like that so far.

yeah well, Majima def getting tougher and colliseum fights, but im confident ill beat anything, especially since im holding back anyway for now, i can simply start unleashing powerfull weapons like katanas and 300+ damage tonfas, not to say if i absolutely need to beat some kind of fight, i guess i could finally use pole and wreck everything.

And well good ol rush+knuckles takes down anything 1v1, doubt it had changed in kiwami. Im more excited to see full legend power, that style was really bad in zero but it seems like in kiwami it will be nuts, cant wait for my boy Kiryu kick some ass in it for real.

yea i know, to be fair i've fought most of his forms including mad dog, it does take time, but hes not hard in rush style, brawler is good against some of his forms, but breaker and mad dog are too fast to fight in anything but rush and maybe? maxed legend
