Can someone link me to that side story guide floating around? Would be much appreciated

I believe IGN said the main story is 30 hours long. Even without the side stuff that's hefty as fook.
triangle attacks are not guaranteed, chip at him with jabs. in rush, jab jab jab>dodge forward>jab jab jab is strong against him. he'll attack after blocking, so play attentively and if he blocks, evade his next attack.
in the second half of the fight use the slower fight style and dodge to his back when he attacks, then grab him from behind.

Having just booted up the game today and beaten Chapter 1 I have to say I think this might just be the best opening chapter to a Yakuza game yet and I've played them all. Hope it stays this good throughout.
he breaks out of the grab before I can do anything so uhh
also it takes forever to get him down with just jabs. And he just randomly breaks out or super armors through my moves half the time.

Ohh, I'm still before that. Cool, cool
Forget 3-5, remake 2 😩

You guys better hone your UFO Catcher skills and do the side quest with the little girl. I almost teared up at the end. Mad respect for Majima.
Use rush style and dash to go around him and hit him in the back.
Quick combos are best: jab, jab, triangle works wonders.

First time Yakuza player here. Played for a while earlier and played chapter 1.
I love it. The characters, story, brutal combat are fantastic. Graphics are surprisingly good too. Only thing I don't like as others have mentioned is the weird visual novel cutscenes.
Going to play it all day tomorrow

if by works wonders you mean he dodges and traps me in a combo for half my health.
anyways I figured out the grab thing. I can probably just cheese him with this.
If you liked the combat of Sleeping Dogs, you'll love Yakuza's combat.
if he's breaking out of grabs you're taking to long to hit triangle (or mash circle) after grabbing. i beat him in hard mode this way.

This though, the strongest title in the series deserves to reach a modern audience. Yakuza 2 is G O D T I E R

Where the heck is the pocket racing? I'm in chapter 6 and still have no idea where to find it.
Upper left hand corner of Kamurocho. It's near the children's park which is near Theater Square.
(At least I think. That's where I was introduced to it.)

Top left area of the map in Kamuracho (just by the taxi). Its location is the same place where Seijima's dojo side stories take place in Yakuza 4 and 5.

So apparently I can't stop playing the disco dancing mini game.
Bought this game on a whim last weekend and I love it. First Yakuza game, but definitely not the last.

I'm mashing it as I grab him. He breaks out before the prompt even appears. I try waiting for the prompt and he breaks out.
I just don't get it, everything is so inconsistent and makes no sense.

I tried it once and don't understand the timing on that stuff at All

What don't you like about the cutscenes? I'll admit it was jarring at first, but I kinda dig them now. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like the character models are higher-res in that mode?

Alright, I finished Pocket Racing, Karaoke, Dancing, Batting and UFO Catching, it's time to end... chapter 2 lmao.

Ok thanks. Can I access the catfights too or do I have to progress further in the story?

Yep, me too for ages. Couldn't work it out so I kept trying and trying. You have to press the button when the square is just slightly inside the box (if that makes sense). I was pressing too early. I still find it so difficult.

How does fishing work? Can't get the fish to bite. Where can you buy bait?

you don't have to wait for the prompt, he's breaking out of your throws when you grab from behind after dodging one of his attacks?

i'm up to chapter 3 playing on hard. not too bad.
i really like the new fighting styles.

Yes. Dodge behind him, grab, immediately mash circle, 90% of the time he breaks out. I thought it might be related to heat level but he just did it 4 times in a row with me at 3 full bars.
I'm sure loving these punch hitboxes that hit me when I'm BEHIND him too.
no, it doesn't have anything to do with heat... i don't see why it would work differently for me than you though... if throws aren't working, do PPP after dodging instead.
Took me a few tries on hard (I've played all the Yakuza games on normal until this one). Wait for him to attack then dodge, leaving him open to a couple attacks. Repeat until your heat is full, then grab him with circle and hit circle again to knock him to the ground (might have to spam circle since it's a boss fight). Then use your heat move (triangle) while he's on the ground. The kicking his body sideways one does a lot more than the stepping on his head one haha

any tips for the catfights? need cash desperately right now
this is what I've been doing. My problem is when the grab decides to fail, it just did it 7 times in a row. Last run I got him to 10% hp with me at 90% when he decided to say lol no I'm immune now.
I tried using the punch instead of throw and he breaks out of that too. I'd like to know if I'm just fundamentally missing something here because I'm doing everything suggested.
I've played the series mostly for the main story, and you can do it that and the story will keep you entertained. But for Zero I'm definitely playing as much as I can of the sub stories this time round.

Got myself a digital copy after seeing the positive reception.
Quick question: I started Yakuza 5 a few weeks ago(3~hrs in), which btw is my first entry into the series. Should I beat 5 first, then play 0?

Yeah Mr. Shakedown you hit too hard !
It's not the same. There's more side stepping dodging in Yakuza 0. Sleeping dogs there are more reversals. Both have sick 'heat' actions, lethal moves. You'll like both!
