Standless

"Some are born with talent, and some aren't. That's true. But that said... Those with talent never make it through talent alone. You have to overcome. Find boundaries, and break them. The only way to grow is by overcoming challenges" —Kazuma Kiryu

Trivia

• Standless was inspired by Kazuma Kiryu, one of the video game protagonists from the Japanese beat'em up game series, Yakuza, as the old standless was considered bland, uninteresting, and really weak.

• Before the NU update, this spec used to be a normal human. It's moveset consisted of normal punches, Heavy punch and Dash, with the dash being one of the longest in game.

• WOTY (Way Of The Yakuza) has 5 different soundtracks. The following are:
  • Yakuza 3: Bruise
  • Yakuza 0: Receive You ~ Tech Trance Arrange ~
  • Yakuza 6: Kamuro Again
  • Yakuza 6: Bishop-Violet Velveteen
  • Yakuza 7 Like a Dragon: Rolling Eyes Fall Down the Dragon Wall

• Weirdly, Asphalt Connoisseur and Dragon Bite have reversed descriptions in the "Moves" section of the Ability menu.

• Equipping the "Kazuma Kiryu" skin actually changes his attack noises. It also changes the Pose music to "Rolling Eyes Fall Down The Dragon Wall", and adds the entirety of Baka Mitai (I've been a fool) as an extra fourth quote.
  • The quote is as follows: "...I've been foolish, and you've been childish. You fell down, you got hurt chasing sweeter dreams. Never could hide the truth in your eyes. That's how I knew, that smile was a lie. "I love you" is something you never say. Couldn't get it out, always just pulled it away. So then why? Won’t you tell me why? You could find the words to say goodbye. I'm such a mess. I'm lost. I'm no good at this. I'm in love, still in love, still in love with you. Hard as I try, I can't even drink this pain away. Memories of you, twisting my view, I've been a fool... I've been a fool, honestly such a fool.” (This lasts for a while)

• Equpping the "Santa" Skin changes the voicelines to that of another Yakuza Character being Taiga Saejima as a reference to the time in Yakuza 5 where he wore a Santa Suit as part of the "Santa Hunters" Substory.

• Before the New Universe Update 3.0, Standless could be crafted with 3 Common Standless Shards which could've been obtained from the Ability Banner, although now the player can still receive the shards but are unable to craft it
