Would be nice if the more advanced you are, tougher enemies would challenge you around the streets and in tournaments.
If you do a lot of fighting, it gets more complex and challenging, if you don't, you keep a normal difficulty throughout the game. Yu, as mentioned in the combat thread, doesn't want it to be too hard, so by doing that, people that love challenge and people that don't would be happy.

A tournament would be ever so slightly at odds with that lesson.

That's actually one of the reasons I've always thought the lessons taught in Shenmue were a bit odd to begin with. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with the stuff I was referencing, I'm just saying if that's the setup they've established in the games so far, it'd be silly to ignore it all for the sake of adding certain gameplay features, just so players always have the option of beating someone up and getting something out of it.
But eh, with the huge amount of time that's elapsed since the last game, I'm halfway expecting a lot of "modern gaming" deviations like that anyway.

But the topic post was talking about a tournament from the standpoint of a basic gameplay feature, something you can enter at any time for rewards (sort of like in the Yakuza games). That is what I was saying would be against the wude.
