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

[System_1]

What did you expect? Those are the characters that they see dominate in every match video. They’re not gonna flock to Mamiya or Jagi or nothing like that. I’m sticking with Kenshiro just cuz he’s such a bad ass in the series and I don’t know enough about the game to use anyone else.

Nice :bgrin:

Yeah I know, it’s typical going for High tiers to win matches.

I would love too see matches with different characters which is more exciting to play and watch, Toki and Rei matches and tourneys are just too boring!

I’m going for Jagi, Kenshiro, Shin, and Juda:tup:

[Fasty_McNasty]

Uploading soon basic character tutorials.

Thank you. :lovin:

[PozerWolf]

Yeeeees, the buggy character got a new bug:) Put that on youtube. A few frames? Kara cancel into nothing? That sounds really weird.

I think tonight I’ll just record myself in training mode and see if it happens again.

It still trips me out when I see it.
But like I said before, it could be the disc or something seeing as how its burned.

Those were awesome vids :tup:

It seems Jagi’s corner combos are more difficult to connect right, any that can guarantee hits?

[Biolink]

What does BnB stand exactly for?

[tianyuan]

beaten and busted… I mean Bread aNd Butter

[Hydra632]

I forgot to ask earlier, but whats your guys general opinion on 2/3 or 3/5? I’ve been playing 3/5 for the last year and hope that will be the standard for all tourneys here in the US.

[Deansta]

I would prefer 3/5, the 2/3 matches can end very early in the 2nd Round if alot of stars were taken off in the 1st.

[FullMetalRoss]

Oh man Msin is my hero. That guy just does all sorts of silly combos just cause he can.

Also in response to 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 5, I think that at low level it’s fun to have a 2/3 system it can help teach caution and how to make sure you land your combos especially ones that take off stars, but once the game reaches a high level where execution is no longer the issue, the only way to make it so the instant kill metagame doesn’t get out of hand is the 3/5 system. I would say try it 2/3 and then if losing the first round and then instantly losing the second starts to get to you I’d switch to 3/5 also 3/5 after everyone knows their characters combos and can do them, because at least for my group right now it seems we get too many time over matches or matches that come down to the wire to make 3/5 as much fun, but that is rapidly switching as we are getting our combos and instant kill setups down.

[PHARAON]

Well this is odd.
I’m not too sure if its the disc or training mode or what.

I’m in training mode trying to do some throw combos with Toki and I notice something a bit odd. Whenever I try to tick throw (or just walk up and throw… or anything throw related) Toki does his animation of his far HP attack but only for the first few frames and goes back to normal stance. It’s like I kara into… nothing, seriously.

I thought it was just me tripping out or something was wrong with my stick, so I put up the display for input. It registers everything just fine, and it even says I hit the HP yet nothing came out but some strange animation.

Anyone run into this?
The shit is random as hell.

I’ve done it with Raoh too.
I think I got it on tape, gonna search it later.

Hey dudes the shadow bug on Heart-sama super is still in.

I get the same problem with Shin a lot actually, he does his first hit of far C but then stops.

[tianyuan]

3/5! 2/3 is toooooo fast. 3/5 is the standard.

Edit: What is that shadow bug?

[Gwyrgyn_Blood]

Tian if you want to me to frame analyze anything, I run my PS2 through a capture card anyway so I can probably see what’s up with stuff. That is assuming there is anything to look at anyway.

[tianyuan]

Wada, Dan, you can really do that?! Awesome. Write down every move’s execution, recovery frames! Just kidding. It comes out all the sudden I am quite surprised. I will think of something tonight to get you busy later:) Thanks for telling me that.

[nothingxs]

How can I combo into Shin’s CD?
