I remember when I had the game on Dreamcast and was surprised the combat was like this also as I thought the whole game was going to be QTE. This shit was awesome!
How much of shenmue is combat? Like how many fights are in 1 & 2? Cause this combat looks appealing to me but i worry about there not being a ton of chances to actually experience it
Shenmue is such an amazing game the only thing I don't like about 1 and 2 combat which I wish it had is a lock on target 3 has it but 1 and 2 don't you need it for 1 because you can't see the enemy's health bar or ring
I still haven't played a better adventure game than S1&2 regarding fighting system, both intuitive and rewarding Some talk about Yakuza, imo it's really leagues behind
For it’s time, Shenmue was pioneering and groundbreaking, and not only that, criminally under appreciated.
The QTE system was immense, and the combat system was (as has been alluded to) a more rudimentary VF system. Shenmue II’s system obviously evolved greatly, but I was surprised by how engaging the combat was on 1.

During 1999, it was pretty neat for a 3D fight.
I liked the fighting
Boring? Probably for those who prefer mash the buttons to win. No offense but if the game has a number of these combos and stuff..just use them.
Damn Ryo with the EWHF at 0:17
Nice combo vid my man!

That only side quest involed fighting
Good enough for an adventure game.
looks like Tekken 1 style
Great fighting system 👏 shame you rarely fight tho😂
people who said that are just lucky that the combat is just forgiving. if the devs didn’t modified the engine’s combat, it’ll be dark souls in 2000.
Earth and Sea is probably one of the best fighting songs ever made.
You womanhandled them
0:15 that’s how I’m gonna Knee life
Boring?? Up yours! 🖕
They meant Shenmue III, most likely. What a massacre that was.
this in 1999 game?
Why is this one have better combat system than Shenmue 3?
Perhaps by todays standards, but back then it was impressive.

It's way better than some modern open world games I must say, especially in 1999.
The GTA games are just “punch > punch > kick > kick” and that's it (though GTA IV is bit deeper than the other GTA games, even GTA V).
and what about that hit detection?
Im confused on how the fck can my potato phone run this shit at 60 fps 😂😂
Can't wait to play this,it looks really good for its time
Fun Fact:
The original protagonist was going to be Akira Yuki.
I would rather have this combat system than Shenmue 3 any day.
Said no one ever

Every blow was felt. lol
Sleeping dogs creator must have played this –
What was that first throw?
You made that look easy.
KO
If only Yakuza has the very same fighting system that Shenmue has, that would be a blast to play.
