Recommended Skill Upgrades: Focus on upgrading his basic combo strings (Square, Square, Square, Triangle), his grab techniques, and his Heat Gauge accumulation speed. Prioritize unlocking 'Essence of Extreme Dragon' and other powerful Heat Actions. In his 'Another Drama', invest in taxi upgrades that improve handling and boost duration for street races, as these unlock his 'Revelation' Heat Actions related to driving. train with Komaki for additional powerful techniques like the 'Komaki Parry' and 'Komaki Tiger Drop', which are essential for advanced combat.
