If you take the timer element away then it's just Battle DLC... Sorry silly joke but...
Really? Did the point that it is supposed to be like a race completely go over your head?
Yes, I didn't enjoy it that way. That's me. I get the reasons, but the end result I liked a bit less than in game Tigers, or other tournaments. It was still fun. I guess he went back more to his arcade roots there. It brought back that feeling from decades ago playing them yes. I'll try a bit more. BTW I beat the race on the 3rd try using Ren. It's not the fact you have no time to do it, you do.

Other than providing some items and costumes for the main game, I wouldn’t say that it ‘adds’ much to Shenmue 3’s core game.
Agree. Is the kind of content that in the 90s would have been an extra mode unlock after completing the game in a certain way or something like that. It is really fun to play.
I don't know if you played Tekken 3, it had a mode where you fought on a timer via many. It also had power ups to run into. So does this. It can be neat.
You're missing out big time. The combat in the DLC feels just right. Reminds me of the 70 man battle. It shines in a way that one on one battles just didn't in the game. I even went back after and played through the main story again after, and it didn't feel the same.
Agree with this, although I think the rewards give the Bailu Chan hunt a purpose which made it more rewarding than the Chobu Chan Hunt (I know there’s a few move scrolls that can be traded for but there is no incentive to find all of them).
All that meant to me was you liked arcades, fighters, and such more than a slower paced RPG. Most hating Shenmue 1 for example were way too used to typical console games. I saw them crying now about Shenmue 3 was boring after 2 hours. I've played many many RPGs that went like that since 2001. Too many expected all 3 Shenmue's to be action games. I still think the huge mistakes in both 1 and 2 were hours at a time where there were no fights on demand. Lotus park in S2 doesn't count for me. You don't enjoy it as much. The 3rd fixed it with a vengeance. BTW elbow seemed to be this huge favorite of Suzuki's even in S1 VS Chai. No wonder it's still the main knock out blow. Overall I liked the new fighting system minus some things missing in it. I enjoyed it way more in the main game. That DLC is much more towards your types, it's good he can please you too.
