The New Fist of the Star/Hokuto no Ken thread

Well, like 4r5 states, he does start throwing around some “toki” (means “aura” in this case) by the latter half of the original HnK series. Tenha Kassatsu (sp)? was first employed in his fight against Souther, and then there was other generic “air blast” stuff too. Overall though, Raoh was definitely more of the “projectile spammer” of the three brothers (not including the black sheep, Jagi).

Of course, by HnK2, you’ll get to see Ken and pals doing even more crazy stuff with projectiles. Never getting too ridiculous, but it was interesting nonetheless…

Oh, now I get it :tup:

I’m sure I try doing it without the charge, thats why it didn’t came out!!

Yeah, White’s Juda is the best I have ever seen, that’s why I love using him.

I think Juda has the best CD attack, it has massive range.

He also takes off stars faster easily!!

Ken has the very 1st Shinkuu Hadoken back in the day LOL. Raoh did spam his toki aura quite a bit(When he first fights Ken/Rei) Toki did have a ground fireball IIRC. I remember Kohryuu shooting off a blast of ki at a wall when he fought Raoh.

I’ve seen an HnK2 clip where Kaio is shooting beams n shit at Sachi. :looney:

White’s tier list from last week:

S: Toki, Roah, Rei, Juda
A: Ken, Shin, Heart, Souther, Mamiya
B: Jagi

Poor Jagi…

Is there any new crazy match footage with Shin? I haven’t seen anything with him in months.

N

Nothing lately but you can always search for Tomono matches on youtube. The last big break thru for him was his tiger knee slappy hands.

how exactly are we supposed to “acquire” this dvd of broken combo goodness?

Import the game…

So they will eventually just put the ISO up?

after the game is released, prolly.

And why exactly wouldn’t you buy the most eagerly anticipated fighting game since 99’?

…well it is for me :slight_smile:

Realize that Sega Sammy doesn’t want a bunch of Rei clones,but Ryyuga and Shuu would have been sweet.

^ They aren’t Rei clones. Hyuui is though. Shuren is too in a way but his slicing is don with FYRE!

Basically I don’t know how there fighting style would equate.

Ryuuga seems to be different.

Shuu seemed like Rei to me,but the fact that he almost fought excuslively with his legs and feet could make him different then Rei(I guess).

Shuu’s back handspring counter would be the sickest looking move in the game.

Definitely. If some of the old crappy HnK fighters for the SNES were able to include Shuu and Jyuza and make them interesting characters, SURELY Arc Systems can at least do something similar, if not much better.

And I do have to agree some what with the notion that Ryuuga is a bit too much like Rei, at least, circa his anime/manga rendition. So he ends up taking chunks out of his foes instead of slicing them into cutlets, he still does a lot of the same basic stuff. ASW would have to be much more imaginative with him to make him a much more distinctive personality.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d like to see him too (imagine if he and Jyuuza could have a special intro! :wgrin: ) , but I would straight balk at the idea of turning him into some sort of Sub Zero rip-off, or what have you. I understand that you gotta take some liberties in order to make a workable fighting game character, but that would just be shameful, in my opinion.

Nanto Rekkyaku Zanjin!

Would Shuu’s FKO be the move he used on Ken?

Either that (though I would see it more as a normal super), or they could use that manuever that he never got to finish using on Souther.

Hey, if they did that for Juda, they could certainly do something for Shuu too…

^ I was refering to where a bunch of hands where floating around Ken.(Yuugen Shou)

The kicking one would be a badass super though.

oh yea!!!
