[@SparkShredder]

This was such a weird game for those times. Those in-game cutscenes, that background 8-bit seashore wave sounds, ths slow mo fighting....definitely a classic!

[@randomkitty2555]

that bird and that fvcking guillotine gate were the most annoying obstacles when I played this game.

[@HeroesofXanaduSloth]

Edward Elrich Just like regular fighters, if the hawk hits you as you are running, you will die instantly. When you hear the indication that the hawk is about to appear, stop running, and get into fighting stance. If you time your strike correctly at the right height, you can hit the hawk and avoid taking any damage from the encounter. However, even if you do not manage to hit the hawk, as long as you are in fighting stance, you will take two hit points worth of damage, which you can easily withstand and eventually regain.

[@seabear1959]

I think he mean Bird at 15:12

[@ciaosu4663]

I clearly remember this game in my childhood playing with my brother. It was fun, scary and frustrating back then. Seeing this now makes my blood boil and my hair tingling in nostalgia. It was really fun time in my life. 💙

[@sharedvideos]

Thank you for putting this online. I played this for years until got to the princess, and on that stage, i was wondering what to do, and as i approached her, surprisingly she would kill me, but then after days and days trying, i finally found out the trick that you had to run towards her. Just imagine how amazed i felt. Now, looking at this and seeing that so many of you had the same great time, this put me in on a high. Great time, simple things bringing great impact....a bit different from today😊

[@ChaseMC215]

For anyone new to this game, the final room with the girl has a pretty interesting outcome if you decided to stay in a fighting stance, as she will actually DEFEAT you because she thought you were looking for a fight. Damn, that lady has some fight in her.

[@saratoga4126]

Yeah I saw that outcome and made me ask how tf she got kidnapped when she can obliterate the whole dojo herself.

[@CrysisFear]

The hitboxes of those damn birds is an nightmare.

[@cerberusalpha9556]

Yeah, annoying birds

[@playerofgacha4197]

good memories i played this when i was six years old its so good to watch this again

[@dinopad10]

If I remember correctly, if you didn't run up to the princess at the end, she kicked your ass dead, because you would instead approach her in a fighting stance.

[@emptyspotlight]

not on this famicom version. there's a video of someone trying that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3qthqOQa7pnps0

[@dionstaples8294]

that happened to me when i played it on commodore 64!

[@westmcgee9320]

This was the comment I was looking for. I worked my ass off figuring out so many rules and patterns and actually beat this super hard game…except as I ran to the Princess, I remembered that getting hit while running is instant death. So, I walked to her, like every other character. Suddenly, she no longer assumed a hugging posture. And she kicked my ass to death. One wonders why I needed to save her in the first damned place. 😂 I had to go through all that 💩 again just to try breaking all the rules I’d learned before and running to her for an embrace.

[@macombcougars1112]

What's the actual name of this game I remember playing it in school on a floppy disc computer. It was the first game I beat like back in 84 or 85

[@dinopad10]

[@sangertheknight395]

Finishing this game as a kid is definitely one of my biggest achievements of all time.

[@moseslalmuanpuia8988]

My brother and I didn't know how to play this game at first. When we pressed the buttons while it was in its initial running stance it bowed. So we made a really dumb theory that you had to run quickly to the enemy and press the button, so you would tackle and hit them with your head haha

[@giogio4222]

When I first played this game I thought it was broken because I died in the first stage cause I didn't know how to punch or kick.

[@ryanrengalota8270]

there's this eerie feel to this game, the ominous music, the slow paced movement of the characters and your fragile character that dies in like 3 hits all add up to trigger anxiety.

those wave sound effects though lol hilarious

[@TheLohit007]

Always wanted to see how it ends. Thank-You so much.

[@NishantSengar]

i could never pass thru that net at 7:50.. it chops me in half :(

[@HeroesofXanaduSloth]

The most pivotal moment on the floor occurs at the very end where a spiked gate stands in front of the entrance to the dungeon where Mariko is kept. The enemies can't trigger the gate, but you can. If you try to rush through the gate, walking or running, the spikes will immediately slam down on you and kill you instantly. In order to bypass this death trap, you must inch towards the gate until your foot is right by the edge of the entrance. Then you must advance your fighter just enough to trigger the gate, and pull back in time to prevent the gate from killing him. If you do it correctly, the gate will fall in front of you.

[@daltonw5624]

Same here. That's why I came here to see how it's done.

[@Roarkethemerciless]

+Heroes of Xanadu - Sloth You don't pull back. In the video is clearly shown that you advanced, not pulled back. The game is glitched.

[@HeroesofXanaduSloth]

+Roarkethemerciless First you have to be in running mode and run and do that shohn-ryu karate salute just before the gate close down on you. If you time your moves, everything will work fine. It really is the only way to do it.

[@HonestFarmerLigue1Fan]

I could only finished this game on PC (DOS) version by doing a middle kick to trigger the guillotine, then run forward when the guilottine slowly rise up. for some odd reasons in NES version the guilottine keep killing my character no matter what method I use in any gaming site.

[@jetsonduarte]

Ese pajarrajo es un incertidumbre,cada vez que viene hacia voz,no sabes si le vas a dor un golpe o si te va a atacar,sin dudas el enemigo mas dificil del juego..

[@Dr.Antraxmon]

Los puños son efectivos contra los pajarrajos, en la segunda fase, pero casi al pelear contra en jefe te aparecen un montón de pájarracos y hay puedes usar la patada

[@Dr.Antraxmon]

Hay una versión en stream llamado karateca es más facil

[@jetsonduarte]

@@Dr.Antraxmon cierto pero ya le encontre la vuelta a esta version de karateka y al final no era tan dificil pasarlo..

[@Dr.Antraxmon]

@@jetsonduarte sip, un jugador se acerco al jefe para golpearlo y lo hizo justo cuando su novia está dentro. Pero creo que si te acercas mucho, el jefe te da muchos golpes que no puedes esquivarlo te deja casi sin vida, es donde no te queda otra opción que alejarse

[@georgeharvey4226]

I played this game, but it think there was a major coding error with it. Every time I made it to the end of the second area, the door would always close on top of me (no matter how I approached it), which resulted instantly in death and a game over. Plus, there was constant background noise which sounded like extremely loud rain playing over it. Did anyone else ever experience this? Maybe it's because the version I had was included in a bundle alongside 17 other games.
