The New Fist of the Star/Hokuto no Ken thread

anybody know which character is better for noobs like me??

i just started playing 5 minutes ago= = … :looney:

dude, i think if possible you should make it a specific PS2 thread and also can you update the first post with reported changes? To be honest that’s one of the main things I want if there’s a new thread. There’s already been 2 about the arcade version.

Can some knowledgeable fellow tell me exactly how hearts corner grab inf works and if it has made it into the PS2 version?

I pretty much made a new thread so info wouldn’t be cluttered for the new players, or just anyone that wanted to get access to information quick. The first arcade thread I think is pretty a moot point since a lot of it was about people’s anticipation of the game, and a lot about the game has changed since it the time the thread was made/ended. No doubt the second thread is a much better reference for the arcade version.

Also, I think it’s kinda early to warrant separate thread for PS2 version. The game just came out, so we don’t know how different it is from the arcade version yet. When the time comes, I think the best solution would to be make a dedicated post for the differences, or just put it on the wiki. If you think I’m wrong or have better ideas, I’m all ears.

So I just got the game!

I think he means because of the clutter, not because of the material…

So I’ve got the first part of Rei’s B&B down, but how do I continue?

c.lk, c.lk, c.hk (sjc/iad) j.hp, s.hp, dp + lp x hcf + hp ???

Just wanted to say that I downloaded this game through a torrent site, burned it to dvd, and it works great on my PS2 with swap magic. I would assume that the original import version would work with swap magic. I’ve only tried one original import (Rez) on my system, and unfortunately it didn’t work, so I copied it to my hard drive, burned it, and it worked perfectly. This is likely just a problem with my system or my copy of swap magic, although I have no idea what it would be. Anyway, the game itself although obviously broken as shit, is still fun as hell.

cheers for the sai loop vid, i see where i was going wrong i was tryingTo just repeat the jumping P into air sai, i got quite a lot to learn, definently an interesting game

O thanks man i will practice those tonight

Well I got my copy of the game in today. It seems that the bonus disc is nothing more than a Region 2 dvd. Are the bonus games on the main disc? If not it must just be a history of the games and not the actual games themselves.

That’ll be lame. I hope they’re unlockable. :[

Well that was kinda dissapointing and a load off from missing out on past games!

seconded. i only tried kenshiro and he seems cool. Need his combos please somebody.

Nonoho wrote something about it a long time ago. Hopefully this will help you:

Hey, thanks a lot for the answer.

Oh my gawd how do you cancel far hk into banshing strike(the shit that knocks niggas agains the wall).

which character???

Why are there two active FotNS threads? Close one down or merge them. Disjointed information from a forum is bad enough without having to search throught two threads about the same thing.

This thread has derailed many times, whether it be about anime, torrents or what not. We’re trying to encourage people to move to the other thread when concerning the PS2 version so sifting through 54 pages isn’t necisary.

I’d like to know how to do it with Raoh. I forgot. :[

With raoh there is a few ways to do it.

The way that i find the easiest and works on most (all) characters, is I do, cr.a, cr.b,far D, kara cr.d into cd.

This takes advantage of the fist cancel glitch where you can kara the chains before they come out into cd. yay.

oh the way I found the easiest to do it, is just do the the start then move the stick to down foward and mash cd, I get it pretty much everytime. Now I just gotta get down the combos that come after it.

lol, i knew i forgot something. thanks, kabuki.

Omg, I really want to play this game!

Is this going to be on Xbox360 at least? It really sux since my PS2 is now broken.
