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

[@syxx573]

love the 3 second countdown in Namek time

[@BurstIsMildlyOk]

1:14 the fact he shouted the technique's name too is incredible

[@DeepestDankest]

It's a bit more common in Japan for commentators/players to refer to special moves by name.

[@chrisrockett5897]

HOKUTO... ZANKAI KEN!!!

3rd Round: "Giving you 3 minutes to live was too long, this time you get 3 seconds!"

[@RAWSKILLZ1223]

lordspork LMAO!

[@Kiyosuki]

This entire fight sums up the whole manga.

[@GAZAMAN93X]

lol . pretty much

[@ryujin______]

3 years later, this still doesn't fail to amuse me.

[@GAZAMAN93X]

omgitsnewton 6 years later... and here we are 🙄.

[@RAWSKILLZ1223]

Jill's Sandwiches that's because this shit is hilarious! It's sad how sometimes you can worn so hard at something and still get it taken away. Such is life! Lol. THAT LAUGH AT THE END THOUGH!

[@tehshingen]

YA-HA! HOKUTO! ZANKAI KEN! commentary hype off the charts, even today

[@crppledizzle9374]

we still chuckling 12 years later?

[@redvenomweb]

This isn't just the best HnK match, this is one of the greatest matches in any game ever.

[@TheOnirayju]

Fuck Moment 37 man, that shit was even more hype

[@Mikaek]

th3drag0n707 I partied with Chun's Super once. Why do you think she has those thick legs ;) second, why does no one take lessons in proper spelling? It's not a hard lesson to take.

[@GAZAMAN93X]

@@th3drag0n707 telling someone to kill themselves over a fucking fighting game???? You know that if he actually did it you'll be fucked right?

[@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!"

[@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.

[@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!"

[@lilwyvern4]

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

[@GAZAMAN93X]

ikr?

[@ClexYoshi]

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

[@LieseFury]

@@ClexYoshi maybe but the commentary is irreparable

[@arbyw.1889]

The potato quality is part of the charm.

[@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.

[@BombermanGold]

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

[@JenTheDog]

THANKS BEST FRIENDS SHIT WAS SO HYPE

[@GAZAMAN93X]

ikr!?

[@vorpalseraph]

The amount of self-control to not freak out and panic must've been incredible

[@Teeb15]

The commentator going nuts at Zankai Ken had me laughing till it hurt.

[@ju2tunknown]

EYAAAAHAAAA HOKUTO ZANKAI KEN!

[@ClexYoshi]

Bless Woolie for letting more people know about this.

[@jackmcgwire2078]

God bless him

[@creatine420]

this is so insane to watch if you have never seen HnK gameplay prior.

[@Jasonred79squeek]

This is insane to watch even though I have seen HnK gameplay prior!

[@lilium5548]

every year the video quality gets worse and the hype increases

[@angelon3637]

Thanks Best Friends for reminding us this exists. Again.

[@davidloya4691]

someone should recreate this at 1080 using tool assist, this shit is just too good to leave it at this resolution

[@dukkemonterier3429]

I literally yellet "HOLY SHIT!" Then "He came back straight from hell to bring him down for sure!"

[@MultiKarmacharger]

Round 1: Nice. Round 2: HOKUTO! ZANAKI KEN! When I remove my fingers, you will have three secOHCRAP Round 3: FUCK THIS, HEADSPLITTING TIME

[@SonGohanX]

I need to watch this video every few months to remind myself how awesome this game is.

[@Masamune_Shadow]

Even years later, what a vulgar display of power by Amiba.

[@tokyobassist]

"Comeback from this punk" - Ken

[@najendasabigbossu4423]

Amiba: Omae wa mou shindeiru. Dora:NANI?!

[@adelsa1359]

Ken start fighting @ 1:59

[@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.

[@NapalmJustice]

Best Friends Post-Evo Podcast sent me here. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED~! +100

[@TheIcyPanda]

This match was so hype, you can mostly ignore the potato quality

[@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.*

[@gc3k]

lol that laugh is classic

[@HokutoDynasty]

Dora lost... LIKE A BOSS.

Years later, its still one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

[@dustymax56]

Super best friends brought me here, judging by the comments , they've mentioned this video before.

[@Infimusoma]

1:15 I knew this was gonna be something special when the commentator turned into Hiruma from Eyeshield 21.

[@majortughjedi9813]

Ken vs rei how fitting. lol Dora always falling short

Never gets old

[@LDPRxPS3x1]

Only in HnK can you get insta killed at round start LMAOO

[@loo0oop]

Guilty Gear says hi! lol Instant kills are arc sytem’s trademark….everything has to be over-the-top with them! Fist is made by arc system works….so naturally guilty gear wud do the same thing….its also the same with their other fighting game, dbz fighterz 💯🫡🫡🫡🫡

[@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.
