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

psychochronic · December 13, 2007, 8:28am

I wished there were people in the Greater Toronto Area who play this game. :sad:

tianyuan · December 13, 2007, 6:51pm

I wished there were people in New York City who played this game…

Shotokan_Symphony · December 13, 2007, 7:19pm

lol, tian, let me know when you wanna go to kong manh. I work in the city now.

tianyuan · December 13, 2007, 10:54pm

Shotokan are you serious? You love Hokuto enough to work in the city?

Now I wished there were no final exams in college, lol! Once I am done with it I want to have some Raoh mirror matchs with you! (Pharaon, help me on this one!)

Deansta · December 14, 2007, 12:18am

I wish there was some more HNK players in SoCal… I have tried many times to get something going but no one really plays HNK around here. All GG and other fighters.

PHARAON · December 14, 2007, 12:38am

I can’t help you, just watch the mirrors I did against Mago for example.
Man, I have lost track of my captured matches against Shiro :sad::sad::sad:
Also, no one told me Laugh was in Paris recently ! :annoy:

I’m probably going to NYC on summer '08 for holidays. Maybe we can catch up there, Tian.

tianyuan · December 14, 2007, 7:03pm

You can at least write a faq on the tricks you learned from Shiro:lovin: Plus your homebrew tricks you used on Japanese. I don’t really want to learn Raoh combos (I don’t like solidarity that much), but his mix ups, trickeries, and pressure really amuse me. Gotta learn em all!

If nothing goes wrong I am going back to China in summer '08. Maybe we should go to Shanghai instead and play Hokuto and Sengoku BASARA X there! Those Chinese players really want to fight your Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoh:rofl:

PHARAON · December 15, 2007, 1:46am

Oh, too bad. I heard China is a great country for KOF, so if KOF 12 is in 2D, maybe I’ll get over there to play (and why not Hokuto if it’s still alive). For now, I’m stopping the game.

PHARAON · December 16, 2007, 5:38pm

Yeah, I read about your CvS2 battles against Yamazaki. Nice stuff.
I really wanted to play against you at Hokuto though. :sad:

PHARAON · December 20, 2007, 1:34am

A short reminder : for those who don’t visit my Youtube account nor HNK France, here is the first batch of videos from Japan. As a bonus for those who already saw the battles, I have included pictures, have fun looking at them.

Forgive my ignorance but what are the current tiers?

PHARAON · December 20, 2007, 11:29pm

According to the “DF2 official pamphlet” & several players :

SSS - Toki / Rei
SS - Juda
S - Raoh
AA - Kenshiro / Shin
A - Thouther / Heart / Mamiya
B - Jagi

I will scan the full document soon.

tianyuan · December 20, 2007, 11:43pm

I thought Raoh is better than Juda because Juda has a hard time vs Raoh. But other than that this list is perfect.

tianyuan · December 22, 2007, 12:28am

_8_with_Hate · December 22, 2007, 1:38am

Hmmm…interesting…

Thanks for all the vids and pics, PHARAON! This one in particular really caught my eye

Stairs with Raoh and Kenshiro on them! Freaking stairs! lol. Awesome…

white_shadow · December 22, 2007, 3:14am

Seeing that Rei doesn’t seem to have anything overly powerful at his base, is there a glitch or tactic that makes Rei that high on the tier list?

And why does Jagi and Souther suck.

Demon_Dash · December 22, 2007, 3:27am

2B, his B&B leads to infinite, also almost every god damn normal is fast and jump cancelable, making him incredibly versatile. His loose, open ended design allows him to take advantage of gravity and he can juggle you no matter where he is on the screen. He also has great projectiles and other little quirks that top the package off.

True_Grave · December 22, 2007, 3:35am

Why is Souther so low on the list? He seems to have some very effective tools to use, like those slow projectiles.

Souther Pwns a toki player at 16:05 into that vid. Nice!:lovin:

tianyuan · December 22, 2007, 6:34pm

Guard gauge + low stamina put him a bit lower than others. He doesn’t have good reversal too. As long as he isn’t fighting the top ones, he actually has slightly advantage vs the mid tier, I think.

True_Grave · December 23, 2007, 6:01am

Now Yuda is higher than Raoh?
