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

Cool :bgrin:

BTW what kind of setup do you have?

And did you power-up your Rei game (that would be scary lol)? Or are you learning new people at the moment?

I have a PS2 in my arcade cab with HAPP comp sticks and buttons.

I also have a TV (about 32") that I can bring into the living room and play on also. I have a SF ann. stick modded w/ happ parts to use for this.

I haven’t really had any time to play since it has been released… I have JUST finished moving down to the OC. I plan on powering up my Rei hopefully this week so I can be ready for the gathering.

I got the original game and it loads even faster :razzy:

Man, we need to get the AI cab fixed so we can get in some matches. It’s been a while since I played good opponents :wasted:

In HD, it doesn’t even feel like there is loading at all:bgrin:

Yeah, we need some good matches, I’ve been using Jagi and Shin a lot, but I still use Juda :tup:

Does anybody ever noticed that when you use a full powered AB for an unblockable, it doesn’t work right anymore?

I remember I used to do that in the arcade, and it hits, slams the opponent and takes a star off, but when i tried it on the PS2, it felt like the opponent had super armor and didn’t took off a star?

Wait, did you mean a full-powered CD? Because I don’t think you can power-up the heavy strike (AB)!

If you did mean the CD, then it’s possible to reverse-parry it (agility defense?) and you won’t be pushed back at all.

I have an HRAP I can bring too. I know beggars can’t be choosers, but I’ve had a traumatic experience with American sticks before :sad:

Anyway, keep practicing man, I know I’ll be doing the same :tup:

Snip

Oh sweet thanks.

Sounds good… I am looking into getting a custom CP to fit Sanwa parts so I can have a Japanese setup too, but I do not have the money for that right now.

I will try to get as much practice in as I can.

reverse parry? is that when you block at the last moment, like just defend? So it prevents the unblockable powered up moves? Sorry, just started playing the game and you pretty much just said this but I just want confirmation:sweat:

[System_1]

Yep. Basically, IBing(Instant Blocking) from Guilty Gear but the timing window is a bit tighter. If you successfully perfect guard in HnK your character will flash white for a second then say something in Japanese. Differs depending on the character though. But yeah basically tap back the instant you’re about to get hit prevents you from even moving from a charged CD(or any move for that matter).

Also, if a charged unblockable CD winds up hitting you while you’re guarding, and you’re decently far away from the wall, you can mash out of it to prevent damage and wallbounce/star loss.

Yeah, I was referring to blocking at the last moment. I wasn’t sure, but I think it’s called agility defense in this game. And yes, you can use this to negate the push-back from a fully powered-up CD (Vanishing/Banishing Strike).

Or you can just read RedBeard’s better explanation

Yeah that’s it (it was a long day of school so I’m out of it)

I didn’t knew you can reverse-parry it, but that was the first time I ever seen it!

Um quick question about Rei.

how do you cancel 236 D?

[Amazing_Funbags]

Question: Does Raoh do the most damage? Or Mr. Heart?

[Gwyrgyn_Blood]

Raoh actually doesn’t do THAT much damage on a per-hit basis. Heart is definitely the guy to go to if you like doing massive damage in single hits.

Shinto: You cancel j.236D with a jump.

To whoever messaged me the other day about doing Stomp sets with Souther (maybe Turbovec?) … here’s a really simple way to do it on Ken and other problem characters:

2B 2B AC (delay) > sjc.C 214A |> AC > jc.A 214A

You have to do the super jump REAAALLY late.

[Sharin]

Question: Does Raoh do the most damage? Or Mr. Heart?

I think every character can kill you in 1 combo…

[MiyagiShin_X]

I think every character can kill you in 1 combo…

lol its so true, at least with a full bar and matter everycharter can. except maybe jagi or mamiya.

[System_1]

Jagi can’t on console. He can only kill like Shin at full life on a command throw in the arcade.

[Tsumuri]

lol its so true, at least with a full bar and matter everycharter can. except maybe jagi or mamiya.

I think Jagi and Souther are the ones that lack 100 percents.

[Amazing_Funbags]

Can somebody throw me some Souther goodness? I only know his BnB’s.

[FallingEdge]

One of my favorite combos for Shin that does decent damage and takes of one star…

2B>close standing C>AC>Jumping A x5 (might be x4, I don’t remember)>B>623B

[Amazing_Funbags]

Ugh Doing St.D into DP+C with Raoh sounds and looks easy but HnK’s semi-unforgiving-ness registers it as QCF+C -_-

Juda’s rushdown is retarded.

[FallingEdge]

Juda is the MvC2 character of HnK. I’m still waiting for Doom to come out as one of his side characters, lol.
