Bruh, I hope you've learned by now that "La Llorona's" name has a "yo" sound, like "yo-yo."

GROSS FURRY HOW CAN YOU LIKE THAT DOG THING GROSS DUDE GO DO YOUR DOG

Hey, strain42, in the persona tsumi no batsu manga yakumo has naga, and kijimuna as two personas, but who is yakumo's ultimate persona?

Anansi isn’t just Doi’s best work, it may be one of the best designs in the series, period. Absolutely amazing.

Happy anniversary. It's been a pleasure following your work over the years, dude. This is the first I've heard of these games, but thinking about it, wrestling and LaD go together incredibly well. As cool as the combat looks, the camera is a bit too close, though I guess you can get used to it. It's impressive how much stuff they fit into this little UMD. It'd be neat to see some mention of Tatsuya in the series, even if it may be very unlikely.

One thing I like about the game is the various distinct gangs that litter Kamurocho who make up the random street fights and combat parts of the optional B-Plot (seen in the substories). There's about 4 here (From the tanned tough guy group known as Diablo, the Hip Hop wannabe grapplers from DIS, the flashily dressed and fighting KINGDOM guys along with the classic High School Delinquents which make up Death Corps), each with their own distinct fashion sense, preferred fighting styles and territory on the map. (Diablo on the bottom left, DIS on top left, KINGDOM on bottom right, Death Corps on top right) Admittedly, I do prefer this approach over the mainline titles, especially with their multi-part system ensuring that no two enemies look completely the same. Like these punks actually look like punks.

you forget the Syn Sophia(Formerly A.K.I.) was the Developer of the Greatest Rasslin' Game of all time, WWF No Mercy.

Hopefully, We'll get a Remake of Black Panther, most like gonna be Renamed "Like a Black Panther"

First I’ve heard of this version of the demon aside from the DDS version, honestly he seems very cool. As a suggestion if you take them from here, how about Beelzebub?

huang long gaming

Minotaur is the BEST One. The worst is Centaur, Lucifer, 4 Archangel, Lilith and Sanat. At least Doi fix Lucifer, Merkabah, Lucifer, Centaur, Napaea and Tenkai make them more appealing

Welp... good to mention that in my language, "Mara" is a word for "Apparition" or a female wraith. Usually in reference to the "Night mares", as in spirits that torment you at night.

Congratulations on the anniversary of this channel and hopefully you can cover more Like a dragon stuff.

9 years? Weak lol I got Yakuza: Like a Dragon from the free PlayStation games and it was my favorite free game beat the whole thing good to see coverage of a game I never would check out. 🤗

It scares me that Teddie rocks that Alice outfit too well.

IKUZO KORAAA!!!!

Just as an aside, the music in this game (like all LAD games) is absolutely kickass.

First-time viewer, now subbed. Good review! I played this one recently as well. I agree, it's definitely better than you'd expect from an LAD game shoved onto the PSP. Personally, my big complaint was how the AI would shamelessly spam block-and-counter moves, even making frame-perfect counters that feel like it's reading your inputs. That got VERY annoying after awhile. BTW, just as a suggestion: Have you ever played Kenka Bancho Badass Rumble? It's also on PSP and is kind of like a cross between Like A Dragon and Way Of The Samurai, with the goofiness of River City Ransom. I ended up playing it side-by-side with Black Panther, and it was kind of interesting comparing how the two games took very different approaches to fairly similar "bancho life sim" material.

Will you be doing an updated list if favourite moves now that it released

🎊🎉🎊🎉 9 YEARS!! Congrats, John!! And very well deserved that you're here for this long. The game looks like a gem, 15min cutscenes aside... would love to try it one day! It has that perfect 2010 portable game vibe that's so comforting and atmospheric to me.. I would really enjoy if you could bring the second game and other games like this too on the channel!

12:40 darn it, John! Also, happy anniversary!!

Love your content man, and I'm super stoked after seeing you cover one of my favorite games! Played the fan translation back in October last year and had a blast with both games. Keep rocking dude, and heres to another year of Strain42.

Hello Strain Long time fan and great work on this anniversary video. I got a suggestion for a future video. It's about a indie search-action game called Nine Sols. I think it's perfect for you, you like Search-Action and your big into Mythology judging By your own love of SMT. so check it out sometime in the future.

Please review the second game soon! I don't wanna have to wait 2 years for that.

I have legit never heard of this game. Nice review 👍

Does this video mean that anniversary episodes can now be whatever game is intresting enough to you to talk about

No way, peak (Kurohyou)! Btw Tatsuya is the best written RGG protag you can't change my mind

Very nice. I would like to see one about Danu and/or Dagda.

Definitely an interesting demon. Thanks for talking about it!

was looking for your daisoujou video because i wasnt sure i was pronouncing it correctly but i am realizing you never made one

Can someone explain me why zhu is a Drake race? With is drake race is evil dragon race in japanese(like fafnir) zhu sound like just regular-animalis

This guy is trolling and being a contrarian

3:31 Ngl, your rankings for Kaneko's Asura and Maya are kind of _ass_ .

I really like how Cherub's looks, as a Bayonetta fan I think it's design really matches SMT and I think the mechanical look really helps it stand out and look like something unique and cohesive with the game, just as the cherubim did in Bayo games Lilith looks great here, but she is quite.. holey? It kinda puts me off of it, but I think that's the idea? Naamah is waist goals tbh.. and showing off butt is an instant S for me Nyami Nyami is so dumb looking, I love it

I'm surprised there wasn't a Mareep joke or reference, since it's also a blue electric sheep with yellow wool.

i would pay dlc that increase your party slot to 5 so i can use all qadistu

I'd really love an episode on Tiamat

ooky kooky Agrat is Wife Material <3

Cool Ass thumbnail our friend

My two most favorite demons are Lilim and Belial!

Loved that alliteration!

bro ranked the buttplug as an S

You should do a video on Peallaidh because um it's a really cool demon? And definitely not because I don't know how to pronounce its name or anything and want you to figure it out for me haha don't be ridiculous, Vouivre too

I'm sorry but konohana is an F- for me, she fails at doing her one job which is healing and mp restoration because she doesn't have a proper mp pool to sustain and you have to run around finding incense just to her work. Literally Alilat is better at the same thing minus the mp restoration (which isn't even that much to start with). You're better off just slapping energy on all your party members or painstakingly running around with decarabia to get the support items you need which you can no longer get 99 of, you can only 20 or 10 with no in between.

I never noticed the upside down face on Labolas until this video, wow.

When do we get the spoiler demon rating :). Also bringing back Crusader and new higher version of demons such as a cacodemon as foot soldiers during the armageddon battles would have looked cool

i would really love to see some albanian folklore in a megaten game

8:24 Kaiba: “Why is she white?” Yami: “Wha?” Kaiba: “She’s an Ancient Egyptian Queen, why is she white?” Yami: “Kaiba stop activating the race card and listen.”

Wyzen - "Behold! It is Vlitra!"

Super fan 7 years later 🤣
