I think we've all had a good laugh over them using the old photo *again* but...This photo is actually kinda tragic if you think about it.
The reason it keeps getting used is because...When were Kiryu, Haruka and the kids all together after the events of Yakuza 4?
They weren't.
Yakuza 0-7 - Every game beaten from a fresh game done in 25 hours and 43 minutes
whew. Good fun. LAD tried to be evil, 5's fight spawns were VERY evil and 6 was really nice and good fun LOL
I am tired. Thank you SO MUCH for the support the last 2 days, but also the last 3 years
Also if you do one thing this christmas season - Play Yakuza.
Yakuza 1, 2 and 5 are literally Christmas games and LAD is a New Years game (how many of these can you name eh?)
And this is what happend. The hyper rare double left hand to Ichi - with no downtime in between. That "No" is pure "You can see his soul leaving his body" energy LMAO
Even if I hit the first Perfect Guard there was *nothing* I could do against this.
WR pace too 🙃
GG go again
I keep seeing a lot of questions about whether or not Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth is the next LAD game or not. It IS LAD 8, please consult this guide as to why it is LAD 8. Thank you.
Holy. Shit. Yakuza Like a Dragon at SGDQ 2022 and it's the *longest* run in a schedule full of big name RPGs too. I'm...Genuinely lost for words. I thought it wouldn't happen.
I am also going to America! I'm so goddamn excited!!
(Our boy Kaito in as backup too!)
If you want something a bit more lighthearted that happend in Like a Dragon recently - peep this from the third fight in the game.
This is when you know that it's not a speedrunning day LOL
Time to make it official
In 7 days on my three year Twitch Partner anniversary we'll be doing THE run. The 0-7. Any% Speedruns of:

oh my god. I can't say enough how much I LOVE this game. DESPITE Tendo doing his utmost to end this run (last chance 3rd turn poison, killing Saeko and JGH multiple times) we got it.
the reiji fight had a bonus defence masochist. oh no..

How about one more surprise...
The hit action noir thrillers Judgment and Lost Judgment are now available on Steam!
Watch the launch trailer here:
#Judgment
#LostJudgment
GG GDQ WR.
Couple of Titans giving me some real issues and one story trigger just a little on the late side, but other than that - solid. Happy with that. Commentary went better than I was expecting too.
Alright now I can relax and watch the rest of the marathon
Jesus christ what a videogame.
95 hours of streams in the last 7 days while struggling with Covid and this game just...Fucking rules. I have a lot of thoughts that i'll keep to myself for now, but I adore this game to bits. I cried.
I'll see you *real* soon for Speedrun routing
Through all my runs of LAD allow me to share a piece of info you might not know about and be extremely surprised at.
THIS is the optimal set up to get through the Business Minigame as fast as possible.
Allow me to explain🧵
It is TIME. 25+ hours of pure speedrunning. Speedrunning the entire Kiryu Saga, aka
Yakuza 0
Yakuza Kiwami 1
Yakuza Kiwami 2
Yakuza 3
Yakuza 4
Yakuza 5
Yakuza 6
All in one sitting. LET'S GO!
The run is ALREADY up on YouTube. You can find it here:
It's scary how well Amon went. I cannot stress enough how hard that fight is, but I bodied him. As said - when the strat works it's phenomenal.
I think this clip sums up todays attempts perfectly.
Nice stream, great attempts just CANNOT get out of chapter 4. Even with a run as good looking as the last one just...One fight ruins it.
Thanks for watching. Tomorrows stream TBD on how much sleep I get
Lost Judgment and Kaito Files both fully speedran and finished on PC. Froob's Official verdict is:
If I didn't know I was playing on PC, I would have assumed I was on PS5. Technically these ports are fantastic. Zero drops or problems and super smooth. They're absolutely great!
I was looking for this image
This was about ten years ago and was the first time I met her. Typical story - family had a kid, didn't want the dog anymore so they got rid of her. We went to a rescue home and she jumped into our car. Look at that smile
Glad we made you happy Jess
As said before, you have no idea how happy I am that they brought back Billiards to the Like a Dragon series. And even better without Dragon Engine shenanigans.
Only Froob shenanigans.
In three hours I'll be live on GDQs channel to speedrun
@RGGStudio
excellent Lost Judgment dlc - Kaito Files for Charity - The Prevent Cancer Foundation. We've got some incentives including a boss rush and Super Amon if they take your fancy
small sad update.
at the end of stream i thought i heard noise coming from my kitchen and i was right. unfortunately late at night my dog has tried to walk around and her legs have collapsed. shes struggling to breathe too.
i've spent some hours with her and this is it.
Coming up in like 30 minutes - Yakuza Like a Dragon at
@GamesDoneQuick
we've got a bunch of incentives coming up such as Ono Michio costumes, Summon Showcase and Karaoke which yes you'll get to hear a British lad off key sing Baka Mitai.
In ways it feels surreal. Only two months ago we had a brand new RGG game in Like a Dragon: Gaiden. A great entry into the brawler based line up with a smaller more focused experience. Tomorrow we get one of RGGs most ambitious and biggest games.
No matter how you play - Enjoy.
NEW YAKUZA LIKE A DRAGON PB/WR! 3:35:09 LOADLESS
FINALLY. I'm still not FULLY satisfied with this. We had an AMAZING front 12 chapters and 3 HORRIFIC end game chapters with awful RNG. It can be beaten. I'm NOT DONE YET.
Today's one hell of a day huh.
I literally cannot thank all of you enough for this. I was told I would never amount to anything on Twitch and you've all helped to prove that wrong. To the people and parties who have supported me, shouted me out, given me a chance.
Thank you.
wait didn't i say i'd sell out ishin every single day if it came to the west?
y'all better be ready for me to be *insufferable* YOU BETTER BUY ISHIN!!!!
Once again, play Yakuza.
Wanna know what all the fuss is about with the RPG stuff before IW? Grab this one. You can start the series here too as it's a new protaganist.
Great offer for a great game. Play Yakuza!
Yakuza: Like a Dragon, play it for the very first time!
Now 80% off for our Steam Autumn Sale.
Catch up on Ichiban's story before Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth releases on January 26th, 2024.
You ever hit Amon so hard you make him mad, break his AI and having him attack you constantly non-stop?
huh.
Hopefully that doesn't happen tomorrow. Judgment All Substories tomorrow! 10 hours of Judgment Speedrun!
shes been totally fine before this but tonight shes suffering. i'm gonna have to go have her put down in a couple of hours.
i'm a wreck. everything hurts.
i don't like this but i have to delay the last two charity streams for a while. i'm sorry. i won't be around for a while.
Once again massive thank you to
@GamesDoneQuick
for having me. The staff there are putting on an insane event for a wonderful cause and deserve all the praise they get
Even though we didn't hit boss rush I am SUPER PROUD of everyone who came out tonight, donated and supported <3
DOUBLE WORLD RECORD - YAKUZA 2 AND YAKUZA DEAD SOULS!!!
Yakuza 2 had a death to Ryuji 3 so whilst i'm not fully satisfied and it'll be beaten soon, it was still a good run. Finally pulled one out.
THAT DEAD SOULS RUN THOUGH. LOOK AT THE SPICYNESS. WOW.
Wait a minute. When did Steam start doing this!? I went to my library to check a few things and this greeted me because of Like a Dragon Gaiden's preload being available
That's super sick actually. Really cool
Happy One Year Anniversary Yakuza Like a Dragon!
A game I absolutely fell in love with and an amazing first shot at a turn based rpg. Wonderful characters (and VAs in both languages), amazing localisation and a brilliant story.
YAKUZA LIKE A DRAGON PB/WR - First sub 3:23 on PC!
You have no idea how much this means to me. From 4 months ago learning that I can no longer be competitive on the PC version to this. 60FPS was a game changer. What a Tendo. Eri survives 8hp, JGH NATURALLY dodges the right hand.
Stage 3 Lymphedema. Essentially I won't ever be "cured" but at least with a diagnosis I can get help and also start treatment with compression stuff.
Just happy to finally have a proper diagnosis for the first time in three years. Explains why they've gotten worse too.
Fun fact, that
#SGDQ
Kiwami 2 run? That WAS a PB with some insane pace apparently going into late game.
Thank you SO MUCH for all of the support you've shown to me and
@GamesDoneQuick
tonight. It has been an absolute honor to show off some Yakuza and I hope you all enjoyed it!
In about 30 minutes it's time to become the Dad of Dojima on
@GamesDoneQuick
raising money for charity while speedrunning
@RGGStudio
superb Yakuza 6.
Join myself and
@tapioca2k
as we go through a story about mystery, trouble in the Tojo (again) and more
Tomorrow we're teaming up with
@SEGA_Europe
as part of their stream team for Pride Month raising money in aid of
@Mermaids_Gender
for the next 4 days!
We will be speedrunning the Yakuza series - with a twist! Every £100 raised for charity unlocks the next run starting with 0!
YAKUZA 4 ANY% WORLD RECORD
Why am I not satisified. Look at those rollercoaster splits. I know I still have like a minute of time save.
I'm leaving Yakuza 4 for a while i'm done LMAO Still satisfied but like man i'm never satisified with this game.
Finally at least
I'll be dropping my thoughts and thanks in a bit (I'm just currently out of energy of course!) but I want to say thank you to ALL OF YOU for your insane support, donations, comments. EVERYTHING.
Super massive thanks to
@SEGA
and
@RGGStudio
for the love and LJ too! Buy LJ!
NEW FIST OF THE NORTH STAR WORLD RECORD
9 MINUTES BEHIND. BRING IT ALL BACK IN THE LAST 3 CHAPTERS.
THIS RUN IS A MESS LMAOOOOOOOO
Thank you so much for the charity support. One FINAL day with LAD Ishin to raise £3.5k for Yakuza 5 All Substories! Lets get it!!
35. Old.
My one wish is not spending a third year in a row in the hospital. Things seem fine for now.
if my legs would like to fix themselves overnight that'd be a pretty nice gift too lmao
New Yakuza: Dead Souls Any% WR
So I just casually WR'd by 20 minutes. Can I er...Can I give this one back? Can I trade it in for K2 WR? No...? That's not how this works...?
Bother.
Oh I woke up early and you have no idea how excited I am.
HAPPY INFINITE WEALTH LAUNCH DAY!!!
With huge thanks to
@HelloGuillotine
and
@RGGStudio
I'll see you all at 3pm today when we start our Hawaiian vacation of a lifetime!!
I've been exceptionally emotional over the last couple of days and just...I've played Ishin and just sitting here thinking Ishins coming out in English? I'm in tears.
Yakuza fans we're eating well. Thank you
@RGGStudio
this is absolutely fantastic
New Yakuza Kiwami 2 WR.
Good run, but still a bit rough in places. Tap will likely beat this within 3 days, but i'm happy with big parts of this. Finally the Osaka Castle i've been after and a very very good finale!
NEW YAKUZA LIKE A DRAGON WR + 10,000 TWITCH FOLLOWERS
The 1 turn Tendo poison + the 10k followers got so overwhelming I might have cried on stream. Thank you all so much. You have no idea how much it means to me.
(Also yes that chapter 12 loss. I'm not done with LAD yet...)
WORLD RECORD - JUDGMENT.
Yeah I wasn't satisfied with one. Decided to go for another. My internet cut out THREE TIMES and a moth attempted to attack me multiple times, but that wasn't stopping me.
Hey to the people coming in sayiing the dumbest fucking shit like "Spam laser"
Remember: This is a speedrun. We don't have two hours to go get the laser. We're exceedingly underleveled. I've been doing this run for over THREE YEARS. Your irrelevant backseating is not needed.
Alright i'll be honest and take a big ass L on this one. During my Ishin run earlier I said "Ishin does not need a Kiwami" and the Japanese version is literally called Ishin Kiwami.
Aight i'll take the L happily. DRAGON ENGINE ISHIN HOLYYYYYYYYYY
I'm so fucking tired.
Even if you state that you've not done speedruns and that you're taking it from a casual point of view you constantly get tarred with the "BUT YOUR A SPEEDRUNNER AND LOOKING AT IT FROM THAT PERSPECTIVEEEEEEE"
No. I'm fucking not.
Seriously.
MOVEMENT in battles is SO HUGE. This is THE number one thing I wanted!!
Hawaii looks gorgeous
Crazy taxi inspired minigame
MODEL 3 AND SOME SEGA BASS
All those new jobs
THE POUNDMATES
JANUARY!?!?!?!!??
I'm...More excited than I can put into words.
New Yakuza Like a Dragon PB/World Record.
I no longer have to worry about a double masochist chapter 14.
i now have to worry about a single left hand zero right hand tendo with no curse substitute.
ew.
Officially announcing - The Double Week of ASS speedruns! (All Sub Stories)

Yakuza 0-7 Day 1:
I'm..A little (very) unhappy that I have to stop half way, but I've always said never to ruin your health over a speedrun and I am very much ruining my health with this speedrun. I don't feel good at all.
We'll pick this back up when I wake up with 5, 6 and 7
With huge thanks to GDQ - on the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd of July the Yakuza Speedrun Community is gonna showcase a whole bunch of runs from a variety of runners!
