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

You actually cancel that with an airdash, doesn’t work when you tiger knee it or do it in an air juggle starting with a grounded a+c.

It’s like…You knock away/get hit by Dagarl then the midget comes and posions you AND you still get nailed by a super :wasted: His fireball is fast too.

His FKO has this wierd tracking thing that’ll hit you even when it misses. Unless you’re raoh or Ken.

Airdash? cool, been trying regular jump with no success >.>

One I like, when you have your opponent cornered:

Poke with 2B’s (blocked), 214A ( Whiffed Ground Cross), Boost cancel right as it’s ending, IAD, Jumping C, J.214A (Nanto Bakuseiha), land, aircombo.

Now what you can do on repeat uses of this string, is drop Nanto Bakuseiha, and just land after a blocked Jumping C and do a low into aircombo. Odds are they will continue blocking high to block what they anticipate to be an aircross.

Also I’m partial to boosting Souther’s kick overhead, 236D into a Nanto Bakuseiha as well.

Those are my favorite tactics with Jagi too. Like charging up a boosted kick, waiting til near the end of it then double boosting across the screen and smacking them with it. This actually works even better with Kenshiro because his Vanishing Strike hits so high.

Another good one is boosting after the startup of a heavy strike or a grave shoot. All good options.

:lovin: :lovin: :lovin:

Mhahahahahahahaha… With that data my holy emperor will be unstopable again:P

One zillion thanx!!!

No sweat :wgrin:

I noticed your (most excellent!) Shin FAQ included the transliterated and translated vocal collection for Shin. The mook has all that info for each character; if someone can transliterate/translate that, I can scan/upload that as well.

Souther has a 100%. So cross him off that list.

Not sure what the majority of people want to play on, but I’ll most likely be able to get my cabinet, minus the shitty tv, out to evo to run an HnK side tourney among others.

Now, would you guys prefer the arcade or ps2 version? The cabinet can do either. Also, what would you guys like to see as far as an entry fee would go, $5 or $10? All money towards the winners of course,70/20/10.

Lucky bastard…:arazz:

Nice use of the Raoh Gaiden art BTW.

Wow, awesome setup you have there man. I especially like the swappable controls for people who prefer Japanese/American. The HnK art only makes it cooler :tup:

Too bad I’ll be abroad for the summer :sad: I would’ve loved to take part in a tourney, especially on that nice cab.

I’ve had the cabinet since around May last year but couldn’t get it to evo last year unfortunately :frowning:

well, i just got to finally play the ps2 version yesterday afternoon, and i must say its pretty sweet:lovin: , but i dont know which character to use???, maybe ill learn kenshiro first:wonder: nice setup Hydra632!!!

That is one sick sick setup! Id play on that anyday. As for tournaments, thats alot to bring lol, im sure people will be happy playing on the PS2 version and using there own custom sticks. :sweat:

That still is perhaps one of the best setups ive seen though!:lovin:

Probably a stupid question but IAD stands for instant air dash correct?

:confused:
