The Next Fist of the North Star/Hokuto no Ken thread

Thanks. I was worried about that when i had saw they cleared some of their archives a few days after i started watching the HNK tournament. Now i can archive your archives. lol.

Yo I heard you like archives?

This was on last night, and it was an HD stream of HNK. It was gloriously sexy. Kane, grab that shit and pop it on your youtube mane. Gotta hit dem archives

Archive is gone now. I’m so annoyed. Ugh, i didnt get to finish it yet. I knew i shouldve just downloaded it when i had the chance. Fucking japanese streams always taking down their archives in like 2 days and shit. God damn them.

Archive can be found here. Its not in their past broadcast last i checked, but i guess as long as you still link to the original link, twitch still has the archive able to be viewed.

I’m watching it now. Gonna try to download as much as i can of the 9 hours, hopefully all before the night ends.

Ugh, KI’s toki is so sick. That ish at like 1:19 and some change is noisty. Ive never seen ki play anything else except vanilla sf4 sagat, and he was good with him, but i dont think he played past early vanilla. Ive never seen his name in any guilty gear or blazblue videos. I coulda swore ive seen him in a guilty gear ac video, but i dont know. I really only know him for playing HNK, and im fine with that.

HNK is almost 10 years old in japan now, and still going strong. I love it.

I have seen KI play a little bit of 3S with Kokujin once. He has a pretty good Yun.

I’m currently uploading the whole 9 hours in my channel in HD (5 more videos to go). I made sure to download the very next day.

I gotta say the Japanese step up their stream quality.

Shit looks crisp.

Japan never really stopped playing HNK. I still enjoy watching their ranbats / tournaments !
If you browse niconico videos, you’ll find weeks worth of footage ahah

(oh, and hello there, it’s been a long time :wink: )

Just a heads up for my Hokuto brothers in SoCal, I heard Round 1 has new Japanese cabs and Hokuto is there for just 25 cents.

Also, I have been updating the Toki combo section in the SRK wiki using the jpn wiki as a base but I added a couple of combos from outside the wiki as well. I’ll probably add more stuff in the future.

I tried to keep a similar layout to the style that guy that was working before me was using (he was also using the jpn wiki as a main source).

After I’m done with Toki, I’ll start working on the Rei combo section. No need to touch Raoh, Shin, and Kenshiro since I think Mashu (from Dustloop) did a very good job in their respective wikis. I just wished he was around to translate the matchup section for the other characters.

the FGC really should request Sega and Arc System Works to bring Hokuto No Ken to PS4, at least the Japanese version, we can then import it region free using Japan codes from online stores. with the 2017 tournaments, it shows more incentives to make it playable on PS4.

Hokuto No Ken is ahead of its time, PS2 wasn’t the best market for it, and PS4 being so prosperous, the game really would get more sales and new generation of Hokuto No Ken brothers and sisters playing and enjoying the game.

even if it was a straight PS2 port, wouldn’t mind, it would still get trophies at least and finally playable on PS4, which people can Share upload youtube videos directly, so there can be more active community and matches shared than on ps2. So PS4 is greater for it . It really is the greatest 2D fighting game and 2D combat system ever

Legendary tournament video. they could bring this to PS4, would get JPN psn codes for it

haven’t seen this one before, a lot of great combos

classic fights. a billionaire should give Sega, ASW and Hokuto No Ken owners 10 million dollars to port the game to PS4 and Switch

Always been intrigued by the amazing and stupid game. I have just never had the chance to play it and do not know if I ever will.

LMAO hahaha. Hilarious I like your use of brothers and sisters like we are in a congregation. I really want to like this broken game as a fan of the anime series, I can’t.
That acho video was hard to sit through those combos. You preach like the pastor that resolves people’s problems every weekend.

If you do not enjoy watching Hokuto no Ken matches you have no soul.

After many years HNK will be back at EVO again as part of the animEVO lineup.

I’ll be running a tourney along with Hagure, make sure to sign up if anyone is planning to attend this year:

We’ll be running in real arcade hardware so no worries about Juda’s assist placement and such.

Do people still discuss this game in any capacity? Some other forum perhaps? I was trying to get Raoh help, but no luck.

There’s a Discord group that discusses HnK: https://discordapp.com/invite/e9fjQqS

Hokuto no ken for ps2 (arc systems). There was a HD version iirc, is this still obtainable or only on psn years ago?

I just managed to get my ps2 to play imports/dvdr and man this game is awesome :slight_smile: would love to online with this !
