* EarlyGameHell: The early game can feel a lot difficult due to a lack of power and a CPU partner to help fight the high-level yakuza thugs roaming around that can defeat Tatsuya in a few hits.

** Telling homeless men lying on the street to move out of the way gets them hostile on Tatsuya, resulting in a fight worth a small prize in experience and money. Ignoring those events displays a message about how somebody else rushed them to a hospital.
** Bumping into women on the streets sometimes results in they screaming, which draws the attention of nearby thugs who think you're a bad guy. You can then beat them up with impunity for exp and money.

* {{Nerf}}: In the first game, raising a style to level 5 would convert all of its stat penalties into bonuses. In this one, it's only good enough to reduce them somewhat, with the skill slot mechanic being meant to compensate for this as the player gains more of them.

* DiscOneNuke: By loading a save file from the previous game, Tatsuya can start with two powerful fighting styles that have no stat penalties. One has a large boost to stamina and the other drastically raises Heat damage, so you can pretty much forget about learning all the other styles.

* TakeYourTime: On Chapter 3, Ryusho tags along with Tatsuya to go look for Makoto on Sōtenbori. Do ''not'' immediately advance the story by taking the taxi and instead take the time to clear the available substories on Kamurocho and level grind to at least Ryusho's level. This is because not only does Ryusho part ways with Tatsuya too soon after arriving on Sōtenbori, but the yakuza thugs there are actually only worth half as much exp as the ones on Kamurocho.

Lampshaded early on, with him wondering if he's lost his "Philosophy" in America, his manager mentioning he hasn't been training properly, and Tsukahara lamenting how the man somehow forgot all the fighting styles and techniques he taught him.
* BossInMookClothing: The Yakuza members you can battle by bumping them on the street, they give out substantially more exp than regular encounters. The trade off is they are high leveled, have a lot of health and use the powerful Hard Arm or God Leg styles.
* CollectionSidequest: Tsukahara now needs Tatsuya to go find 102 of his lost cats for his granddaughter's cat café. As before, he offers discounts in his dojo as you find more and more of them.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Thor's Hammer special move that's unlocked by a password is a flashy two-hit air attack that charges quickly. Unfortunately, it begins with a pointless empty jump before Tatsuya does the two air punches and it does not combo. Even if the first punch hits, the enemy is very likely to parry or dodge the second one. It also suffers from HitboxDissonance and can miss when it looks like it shouldn't.

* SequelDifficultySpike: Compared to the previous game, you can save progress anytime and Red Heat charges faster but within minutes of gameplay you can notice interesting things like enemies being a bit tougher even in Normal mode, crowds as a new hazard in fights and the act of bumping into civilians [[VideoGameCrueltyPunishment sometimes causing]] Tatsuya to drop money or trigger battles against [[BossInMookClothing high-level opponents]]. Yes, you can get a game over within minutes of play to some nobody if you're unprepared.
