Mine's Style

Explore Mine's unique combat style in Yakuza Kiwami 3. Learn his technical moves, aerial combos, ground attacks, and Heat Actions to dominate your enemies.

Mine's fighting style is his own combat style based on shoot boxing. While Kiryu is more about power, Mine is more technical, using long combo strings mixed with evasive moves. On top of his unique ground attacks, he also has aerial combos and can grapple between enemies seamlessly, making him great for crowd control. He can easily use one enemy as a stepping stool to attack another or transition in a move to hit many enemies. Unlike Kiryu, he cannot pick up weapons from his surroundings nor grab and hold his enemies. Instead, he grapples his enemies and drags them on the ground, beating them. Mine starts out pretty weak compared to Kiryu but can become a force that rivals him as he grows. One of the major advantages he has over Kiryu is that he is naturally faster moving and can both perfect guard and evade. Though he lacks some of Kiryu's boons, his combat ultimately flows a lot better, allowing for some juggling combos or long combos in general when fully utilized.

Combos
