Best HnK match ever! - Dora(Rei) vs Amiba(Kenshiro)

love the 3 second countdown in Namek time

[@BurstIsMildlyOk]

[@mattfabb]

Rei saw the death star, nothing could save him, his fate was sealed.

[@dukkemonterier3429]

And I was like "Rei defeat the death omen star!" Then Kenshiro made his amazing come back to proof HOKUTO SHINKEN WA MUTEKI DA!"

[@kanzenchowa9868]

Both players are equally awesome, but personally I think Rei was the real winner there. Beating the zankai ken death clock which such a lead disadvantage. No easy task.

[@EmpressTiffanyOfBrittany]

That... Was Amazing. "Ha, your Zankai Ren has failed, Ken! I'm unstoppable! And you said l would be dead by this time." "... You ARE already dead." "Eh?" "RaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ATATATATATATAATATATATAATATATATATATATATATAATATATATATATATATATATATA... WATAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

[@AlexR-ATG]

Kenshiro's like "You defeat me 0.08 seconds before Zankai Ken kills you? Then have a Hyakuretsu Ken, bitch!"

[@3slicessenpai]

Opening the match with Instant Kill is something that defines the older era Arcsys games.

[@lilwyvern4]

I really wish there was a version of this fight in non-potato quality.

[@GAZAMAN93X]

ikr?

maybe someday someone can recreate this with a TAS or something?

2019. This video still sums up the HNK/Fist of the North Star series as a whole. And still is awesome.

[@marcuscalixte4392]

Looks like Best Friends directed people to this video once already Well they did it again in their most recent podcast and *I'm glad they did.*

[@jtmarquez]

@Fernaculous EVERY character has a similar move that does 100% damage *if* it lands, and *if* you take away all your opponents stars in the previous rounds. Only certain moves remove stars, if you watch the video you'll see the blue stars be removed from the appropriate player when they get hit by certain attacks. But yeah, HNK is not for the feint of heart at high levels. Play perfect or die :)

[@zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba0]

Still one of the hypest fucking matching in history.

[@thevengefulone57]

I wish there were captions, these commentators sound almost as hyped as the Wombo Combo commentators.

[@LDPRxPS3x1]

@@loo0oop I'm quite somewhat familiar with Guilty Gear and ArcSys, actually (hell, most of my videos are just Guilty Gear Strive clips) and I've seen their games having instant kills, which are pretty hype. I just haven't seen it happen at round start like it did here lol. Btw, while DBFZ does have instant kills, it's not really a mechanic the game has. It's exclusive to SS4 Gogeta and Android 16. That said, universal instant kills would go kinda crazy in that game.

[@Anybanks]

As a first time viewer of this game why did he get 1 hit KO and whats so hype about it? how difficult is it to execute

[@jesschan8064]

In the game there are stars or a meter that you have to deplete. The actual command is not difficult. Mostly double qcf motions.

[@jesschan8064]

Actually if I remember correctly its a single QCF motion after opponents stars are depleted.

[@mumbles_and_incoherent_sounds]

Jess Chan the motion is 236CD(QCF+CD)

[@KCzz15]

Kidney Thief I've never played the game myself before but I've heard enough from a friend to understand more or less why the match is hype: Kenshiro vs Rei, the first round goes in a fairly standard manner with Kenshiro winning by a large margin. The second round, Kenshiro again has the upper hand before eventually landing a special move which puts Rei on a 3.00 timer from instant death, all Kenshiro has to do now is not die before the timer is up and the match is his. Dora(Rei) however unleashes the beast and fights back with everything he has and manages to win the round with just 0.08 left on the clock, thus opening the way for a possible comeback upset. Third round, Amiba(Kenshio) is having none of that shit though, manages to clear all the per-requisites right at the start for a difficult to execute instant kill move through equal skill and luck, manages to hit it even with the small hitbox on the attack and utterly stamps out any possibility of a comeback in the first second of the round in a moment of pure disrespect.
