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

Those tier lists are all wrong then. Only stuff that matters:

Topest: Rei, Toki
Almost Topest: Raoh, Juda
Stupid Good: Everyone Else
Pretty good: Mamiya, Souther
Not so good: Jagi

For Thouther’s BnB im having some trouble connecting his 236C (2 hits) into CDE, is there some sort of timing to it? because my combo resets right after i do CDE.

lol @ Shin being only “Stupid Good”

Is it cuz he’s got no close to inifinite combos?

I’ve only been able to achieve a 21 hit from ground to air combo ending in Nanto Gokutoken

Taken from WyX’s Souther guide on guardcrush

“Note on Boost-canceling: The game is able to register multiple button inputs when Boost-canceling. You can input moves together while pressing the Boost button at the same time. This serves as a much easier shortcut, rather than having to time the Boost in between moves.”

I was having the same problem as you and that helped, good luck.

Characters’ defense ratings go up as they get low on life. Some characters get more increased than others in Guilty Gear(For Example, Chipp and Anji become very toughened as they get low on life, whereas Testament is the least resilient to damage as he gets low), so I’m unsure if this game incorporates the same system. Guts rating is like the absolute hardest thing to test.

The other stuff I tested was pretty easy, except the defense modifiers might be .02 off up or down. I have no real way of specifying beyond that though but all you really need to know is Raoh=good defense, Mamiya/Thouther=really bad.

Oh also, I edited into my last post and it’s also probably common knowledge but everyone in the game has 192 life.

Id say that Souther has moved up to the stupid good tier from the latest videos, and tourny results.

will someone please help me out with raoh and kenshiro i am having trouble with ther combos it seems like raoh combos dont work like the arcade counterpart with his infinite ?

Very important lesson to learn about HnK: You can boost out of Hitpause. Because of this, the timing on cancels like this becomes very important. You will need to hit 6CDE as soon as possible after the 236C connects, don’t wait and lazily cancel it.

You can boost either hit of the 236C, and also if you are far away after the 236A, you might need to boost the 236C to get the combo to work proper. So the whole thing looks like : 236A 236CE 6CDE

His options aren’t as good as the others, and he doesn’t get free wins like Raoh or Juda. Also doesn’t have a totally retarded mixup like Toki, or like 20 different infinites and setups into them like Rei.

Everyone is good in this game, some are just much more stupid than others.

Yeah Mamiya/Souther both could probably be ‘Stupid Good’ now really, I agree with that.

Took a while for them to tool up - Mamiya really wasn’t that shit, just that people never SAW THE** POTENTIAL** ;_;

I really don’t know what to end combos with with her - I get a nice 50% combo though I’m pretty sure I can get more (lul) and by then I throw out a helmet bomb or go to super for a small air combo, of which, I dunno exactly what to do because the air combos in this game are wierd…well, Mamiya’s at least. I end up doing something like:

AC -> JC -> [A-B] -> [B-D (1 Hit)] -> Air Bowgun -> [A-B-D-B+D]

I can chain a few other hits, but nothing seems to work properly. I need to work this shit out (mind you, I’m having lots of fun using her).

Yeah really from there you just want to drop them and setup for an unblockable oki. Throw helmet, shoot with low arrow, do AB unblockable into massive combo.

Off blowback combos, you want to end with the Motorcycle usually. It’s a tricky setup though.

I noticed its not to hard to pull off a half life combo wit him… and when that speed up super is on he gets mad good and can do alot more… like combo off his throw apparently!

Jagi is cool. He does not rely on as much physically powerful moves as the rest, just weapons and stuff. I love his pillar launcher, shotgun blasts, and mud super.

i like the fact u can put down multiple gas barrells with him. He is a strange character…

Toki beginner’s guide anyone?

Word. The only guide I can find about him has to do with playing against him :rofl:

Yeah,I was pretty pissed when I saw that topic.I read it the title three times before I processed that it was actually a thread on fighting against him.

Live and learn son. :rofl:

Thanks father :rofl:

Oh I know he’s a cool character, I’m using him. He’s really fun, as long as you don’t take losing too seriously because half the characters in the game will kick his shit in before he can move. He’s still very interesting though.

I don’t see any love for Juda, where are all the Juda players:tup:
