Masayoshi Tanimura is a defensive fighter who excels at parries, throws, and arrests. He can disarm enemies and use their own weapons against them, making him a master of crowd control and tactical combat. Tanimura is ideal for players who enjoy precise timing and strategic engagements.
Recommended Upgrades:
- Parry Window: Increase the timing window for his parries to make them easier to execute.
- Heat Gauge: Tanimura's 'Essence of Arrest' Heat Actions are his primary damage and money-earning tools, so a larger Heat Gauge is beneficial.
- Defense: While he parries a lot, increasing his base defense helps when a parry is missed.
Key Abilities & Training:
Tanimura's unique training master is Master Nair (unlocked via sub-story 'The Art of Evasion'). Nair teaches him advanced parry and evasion techniques, making him even more formidable defensively. Focus on unlocking his various 'Essence of Arrest' Heat Actions, as these not only deal damage but also provide bonus money. His ability to disarm enemies and use their weapons is also a key strength, so invest in upgrades that enhance this.
