Anyone knows if there are voices regarding a sequel for this amazing game?
I’d really like to play as Juza of the cloud or Ryuga (yuria’s brother).
Also Falco would not be so bad…

The sequel better have 8-way boost, think of the possibilities.

Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s going to happen. After Arc Systems Works became their own publisher/development house, they severed ties with Sega-Sammy after their contracts were all done, took all that they could with them and seemingly have no plans to do business with Sega any more.

However, Sega still holds the HnK license. So, unless ASW decides to go back to Sega, a sequel to HnK is just not going to happen.

I think the fact that their upcoming Sengoku BASARA X (which they’re making with Capcom overseeing) basically has an upgraded and streamlined version of the engine used in HnK ,pretty much is a testament that ASW more or less said that they don’t need HnK to continue trucking along.

A pity, in a lot of ways…but I am glad that ASW has their freedom now, all the same.

Sometimes when I’m bored I go to youtube and I watch Toki in HnK matches for epic lulz. However, I recently discovered that there’s a considerable lack of Toki in tournament vids (all Japanese vids of Toki seem to be casuals). Seeing that rounds are now officially back to 2/3 instead of 3/5, and a recent singles tournament (Mago was there, so I’m sure it was a fairly big tournament) literally had NO Tokis. I mean, there was a fucking Jagi (who promptly got raped and nuclear paunched by Mago) in the tournament but zero Tokis. Does anyone know if Toki has been soft banned from tournament play in Japan? It certainly seems like it. :shake:

+50. :clap:

Shin protips please.:lovin:

So what is the current tier list for HNK. I would really love to know. Im sure rei and raoh are top.(i think)

share all your knowledge about how the game changed since the “broki era” plzplzplz!

Shin lower than Mamiya? I think Toki and Raoh are about even.

The list posted above includes “dribble, basket & infinite combo access”.
That’s why Rei is considered as the new god tier since you can die against a Rei that has 0.5 boost stock.

you mean the dragon punch infinite or bounce infinite?

I’d assume DP infinite is banned. :rofl:

I’m disappointed that Toki is no longer SSS tier like he was in SBO’06 time. Oh well. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU, RADIOACTIVE JESUS AND YOUR JESUSBEAM.

THE TIME OF RETRIBUTION
FINAL BATTLE
DECIDE THE DESTINY
NAZE NAZE NAZE
IK MUSIC
HOKUTO… UJOU HAGAN KEN
FATAL KO
WIN
TOKI
PERFECT

That was like music to my ears. Guess I’ll have to play Rei now. >:D

You are a waste of space. Just quit posting.

Bounce infinite. DP bug is banned (but not hyakuretsu/dribble bugged combos, try to understand them …)

I know that Pharon is probably THE top player in France, but how does he compare to top players in Japan?
