The New Fist of the Star/Hokuto no Ken thread

Rao be acting like a bitch throughout the anime.

ROAR!!!Yuria!!!You WILL love me(Even though he had a girl that loved him already)

He wouldn’t fight Rei until he knew the death star was hanging over him

The supreme ruler of the heavens cried like a female when he found out that Toki had seen the death star.

He acted like he didn’t want to fight Kenshiro because Kenshiro hadn’t seen the death star.

Fudo :sad:

BTW

Raoh has been reduced to an Emo bitch right now.Argh what emotion am I feeling this time.I need to kill you Yuria so that I will know how Kenshiro feels.

HnK is also full, FULL of family problems.

ROFL. That whole scene cracked me up.

Raoh: What is this terrible emotion I feel nao!?

Ugh…stupid Yuria

:rofl:

You’re both kinda missing the point if you expected Raoh to be just yet another generic anime end-boss, who basically is utterly two (or even ONE) dimensional. You want that kind of crap? That’s what DBZ is for…you don’t watch that, expecting to see the likes of Cell and Freeza start to cry because they’re actually much more complex characters than just “brutal and ruthless conqueror #50 and #51”.

But HnK was designed, from the get-go, as being a tragic story. Everyone, from the hero, his beau, Yuria, to the big name villains like Raoh, are all subject to that attribute. That, in my opinion, was what made Raoh a much more charismatic “villain”. He wasn’t another mindless destroyer, and I respected him for that.

^ I was trying to be funny :wonder: Maybe that’s why HnK2 go on as long as the original.

excuse me is there a tier list for this game??

excuse me is there a tier list for this game??

Can’t help it with many major Japanese players quitting and lack of new match vids, not to mention the game gradually dying out in arcades everywhere.

Well then, hook us up with any info you get about this tourney. And if you end up going, make sure to type up a report about it. Tianyuan can use some help when it comes to contributing new material to the thread lol. We need to keep things going until (hopefully) the PS2 release breathes some new life into the scene.

We’re all just waiting for that HUGE All-Character combo movie to be finished.

Yeah, but this means jack diddly if a seiyuu can’t deliver a single fucking line, you know?

Old Raoh VA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> anything

GOD MUST REALLY WANT TO FIGHT ME…! AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

True, but then again, the focus of my reply was not as a part of the “Old VAs vs. New VA argument”.

I’ll always prefer the old-school VAs, but I like some of the new VAs too. For instance, the new guy who voices Ken in the game actually does a decent job emulating the Kamiya-style Kenshiro, in my opinion. Meanwhile, the actor for Ken in the Shin HnK OVAs (also is the one behind GG’s Eddie and KOF’s Shingo, for starters) also does a nice job.

Then there’s the guy who does Kasumi Kenshiro for the Souten no Ken (Fist of the Blue Sky anime). Don’t know much about him, but I do know that he was also Spike Speigel in the Japanese version of Cowboy Bebop. And since that Kasumi Kenshiro/EN-OH is a different guy all together, it’s all the more easier to accept a new seiyuu, in my opinion…

Speaking of Souten no Ken…I could easily see another fighting game starring the best from that series, as well. Or at least, they could pull a “Holy Order Sol” type of a deal and put in EN-OH as a “new character”… :wgrin:

Is Fist of the Blue Sky osome kind of spin-off series that’s only related by name(Sort of)or is this Kasumi Kenshiro a descendent of the HnK Kenshiro?

Kasumi Kenshiro is rumored to be Kohryuu in HnK.

would it be worth importing this for $54? I would, of course, have to find myself a ps2 to play it on, and hot rodding it to work with imports doesn’t sound hard.

who is Kohryuu again :sweat:

I sort of forgot

Combo is not the only thing you need to win in Hokuto no Ken yet:lol:

Yeah, if you go try to get some videos or at least some pictures:)

I’ll put this here instead of the Trade forum first because the people on here are the ones who will most likely be buying the game. I’m not buying the game but I will buy the bonus DVD from anyone that is willing to sell. $20 including shipping, PM me if you are interested and we’ll set this up after the game is released.

Uploaded by yours truly.

I remember now.Dude got his hands and shit blown off by Raoh,and then after the fight Raoh was about to kill the two brothers.

So Fist of the Blue Sky is based off of this Kohryuu that gets owned by Raoh?
