The New Fist of the Star/Hokuto no Ken thread

There is a bonus DVD that comes with the game that is ArcSys official. It has tutorial and combo vids as well as lots of extra games and crap.

THIS DVD is a freebie put out by some of the best players in the scene. It is combo vids and glitch vids and the super high level play stuff.

I see. Interesting, that makes more stuff to practice and perform.
That crazy game never ceases to amaze me. :smiley:

so who is low tier and who is top tier?!

Jagi is low tier and Toki and Rei is top tier!

ohoh then what about Shin i see a lotta people play him also

Shin is Mid-tier or Upper methinks.

is there a reason they don’t play this game in Tougeki(Super Battle Opera)?

i remember this game was in Tougeki before but this time it’s not there

kinda weird~

is this the reason they don’t play this game?? >> [media=youtube]d90tNc8zyVc"[/media]

Tier rankings should be something like

S:

Rei
Toki
Juda
Raoh

A:

Kenshiro
Shin
Souhther
Mamiya
Heart-Sama

B:
Jagi

I heard that the scene for the game is starting to break down in Japan.It’s most likely too broken,even for the Japanese players.

what do you mean by too broken??

White said that isn’t it?

Usually a game could be in SBO only once unless it’s insanely popular (Aka Tekken DR), others usually come up with a newer version to keep up (Aka GGXX AC or MBAC ver B), or it’s classic (3rd strike, KOF98). Hnk didn’t have a sequel before 2007. So it wont be in SBO this year.

Wait until you watched that combo vids. Not really, because:

Midnight Fighter Festival rules for Hnk

hyakuretsu, banned!
Rei’s bug uppercut, banned!
Any bugs that freeze the game, banned!

So Pharaon you might want to consider these rules for the French tournament. Well, sai loop is still allowed, you should be able to win the tournament:rofl:

thats real crappy= = so many bugs and shit! i hope they fix it in the PS2 version so everybody can have some fun playing without haveing to think about bugs

hey tianyuan, what’s ‘hyakuretsu’? the multiple jab/short inf thing that makes them bounce?

Yes, hyakuretsu is the multiple jab/short infinite glitch.

The tier-list of the game should look like this right now.

S - Toki / Rei
A - Raoh / Kenshiro / Juda
B - Shin / Thouther
C - Mamiya / Mr. Heart
D - Jagi

As for the MF2 rules, we’re not going to follow them. The only thing that could be re-used here is the “no freeze” rule, which is rather obvious. But bounce bugs & Rei uppercut glitch are allowed (with 2 boost stocks, of course).

Then you should wait for the combo vids since hyakuretsu is allowed.

My feeling toward hyakuretsu is kinda mixed. It’s fun to do it sometimes, but doing that all the time it will look quite ridiculous:

Heh, as long as Toki is around, hyakuretsu might the key for certain characters to win. Actually banning hyakuretsu makes Toki even better!! Watch this new combo video you will understand:

I agree with this, don’t want the game going back into SBO 06 Toki fest :confused:

Just like the first GGXX at Evo where it was a Sol Badguy fest:lame:

Lotsa people out here are scrubbing out wins with Rei and his SUPER safe BS. =/ He’s REALLY annoying to fight against…especially using a big char like Heart-sama or Raoh.

I play Rei as secondary after Shin, and Raoh is definitively not an easy matchup for him, if the Raoh player is decent at least.
The most important thing against Rei is to learn how to deal with his IAD corner pressure, but even if it’s good, he doesn’t have as much variations as Toki for exemple. If the guy keep on doing things like 2B > 2D > IAD jB > jD x n like a machine (as you say they’re scrubbing, it might be like that), it’s not so hard to deal with it.
I don’t play Roah and Heart but Raoh as at least 214214A and powered 623A that will beat this if done just when he IADs (a Muso Tensei will give you the advantage but probably not enough to punish him).
For Heart you can use his counter 214A and maybe 623A (might need to agility defend the move before the IAD i’m not sure). Well that if the guy is predictable, if he’s not its gonna be a lot harder, also you might know it but just in case you should never guard cancel a ground move because he can 214C you out of it.
