EVO 2018: Hokuto No Ken - Top 4

[@novemberaff]

even though i can't tell whats going on i've been fascinated with this game for years, and now that i have a full time job i've only recently got a jp ps2 and hrap and the disc and now that i have it i can finally say that i still don't have a clue what's going on

[@Punished-Ken]

watch the 1986 movie fist of the north star, u can learn a little about what the hell is going on

[@Punished-Ken]

@NotSnarl yeah but I don't think the other dude would watch the whole tv series in 2020

[@Next-xm2dh]

I think he meant the gameplay...

Hokuto Shinken is undefeatable.

Hokuto shinken wa muteki da!

[@lahabitaciondeterciopelo913]

This game is so insane omg Glad it's back

[@lhommemystere3938]

OMG is it true ?

[@DenkyManner]

This game feels like the first basic version of something they intended to expand and fix in a big update, but it never happened

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

Man, the execution in this game is extremely crazy. Also crazy on how many 1 frame links there are in this game, for how fast the game is and how clean your inputs have to be in this game.

[@typhoontim86]

This game is the best nonsense.

[@professionalfangster1510]

Nice profile picture, looks like you have high tier taste.

[@6Sezt]

Nice professional taste, maybe you could throw a hint to arcsys to include her- hi- he- GIVE ME BRIDGET IN GGST IT'S IN YOUR HANDS NOW PROFANG

[@Jippurokku]

It's yin and yang your joyous yet pissed if you fail your fatal attempt gotta love it some people will never understand kusoge games

[@youtubeaccount6564]

This is like if you told someone on stims to design a new anime fighter. This is a game with design decisions that suggest that the developers did not play any fighting games after Fatal Fury 1. This is what fighting games look like to people who don't play fighting games. It's excellent.

[@ultimatederp5069]

I'm really glad I watched this tournament because my only exposure to this game has been Sajam's Will It Kill and I thought it was only setups for basketball infinites but it's actually so much more.

[@thepugoffbusiness]

I know this is a bit late but this is what happens in the manga most of the time

[@devilbuster20xx37]

Absolute bullshit? Yeah, sounds like HnK to me. Seriously, 90% of the combat is not martiak arts, is fucking magic.

[@moechano]

@@devilbuster20xx37 you don't sound like a believer of the arts of Hokuto Shinken. Shame

[@ChromisPasqueflowerBowerbird]

@@devilbuster20xx37 Shame!

[@KetsubanSolo]

Nah if they were gonna make HNK manga accurate, it would be closer to Samurai Showdown, and everyone dies in like three hits

wish they made a sequel or a hd remaster. beautiful manly anime beautiful game

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it true ? Are my eyes deceiving me ? Hokuto no ken ps2 is back OMGGGG

[@mattbryant8320]

Bring this game back

[@wutang_batman]

This need to be ported to ps4

[@lhommemystere3938]

So true

[@flick2flick]

I agree. Im pissed that it hasnt been ported to ps4. Or at least they should have it to download in psn store.

[@jrtien]

Yeah. Why haven't we gotten this in the store yet? Pisses me off...

[@chrisrockett5897]

Yeah, no patches or nothin. Don't change a single thing except giving it netplay and cranking the quality up a bit.

[@RAWSKILLZ1223]

LIKE YESTERDAY!

[@shinodax7123]

I wish this game got a steam port

[@yourboyvic]

3:21 "quick primer, in this game" *change in game flow* "oh no!" commentators together "I think we'll get explanation next time" this is HNK

[@downrightfiercerare1565]

This game would low-key be 10 times more appealing to watch if Toki was banned, but either way I LOVE IT!

[@Yung_Lowdown59]

God basketball combos never get old I gotta get into this game 😂😂

[@187Wretched]

Even though Strive and Fighterz look visually stunning theres just something more appealing to Arc Systems older games that used real sprites.

[@touayaaj84]

The game is so material realistic. In the manga/anime, one hit and you’re dead.

[@mukundvats4434]

[@quattro4468]

They played on an arcade board. Thats awesome

[@himajin774]

23:20 この1戦が1番好きだな

[@RedBomberZer0]

8:50 for someone actually fucking dying

[@dreamEnd]

So this game is just pretty much who manages to land the first hit and combo your opponent to death without messing it up

[@Rei-uk3qt]

All fighting games are like that if you know death combos

[@superrookie-1]

Tbh there's so many mixups & setups happening on the screen, but it's happening so fucking fast you'd this that guy is just getting comboed the whole way lol

[@PedroDeLimaKawase-b4f]

You don't play many fighting games, do you? Death combos are rare. The majority of fighting games only allow you to deal ~40% damage in one combo

[@breakfastsquirrel]

they need to make this for pc!!!!

[@shadowdancer5330]

This game really needs a remaster and a patch

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

That, or they should just make Hokuto no Ken 2, and bring all the characters from Hokuto no Ken 1 back, with all the characters from Hokuto no Ken 2 in there, like Kaioh, Hyo, and more. Also would be cool to see Hokuto no Ken use those unreal engine 5 graphics with that guilty gear strive sort of 2d 3d thing, while retaining the similar hokuto no ken art style.

[@thesmashor4396]

WIN! TOKI!

[@dragonfun6498]

How come none of these characters are in the NBA yet?

[@eyyojung]

Whats up with that super low quality picture? Don't they use RGB over there or is something wrong with the capture? Looks like s-video or composite or worse if that's even possible... BTW is that a stretched 16:9 ratio? x - X

[@上野-l3h]

eyyojung Because this game developed 13years ago.

[@eyyojung]

...well do they play Street Fighter II in stretched 16:9 ratio too? BTW the game look beautiful, capture fails unfortunately. Nevermind.

[@philiplowe9524]

@@上野-l3h you are stupid

[@willlozinak5182]

did they make it like this on purpose??

[@jimmykeffer7401]

Well it is made by Arcsys so, it’s entirely possible

[@jimmykeffer7401]

It’s from like 2005? So they had to know how to make the game not be like this if they wanted to

[@emikox]

@@jimmykeffer7401 probably it was rushed.

[@WantSomeWhiskey818]

The game was rushed out the door and poorly received on release as a result. It took a couple years to crack the game open like this and get reevaluated as a kuso classic.
