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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
Everything is broken in this game. Literally every character is busted except maybe kenshiro. But that is what make this game incredible insane fun and boost mechanic is so goddam fun
Man arc system works been doing there things forever. They make the best fighting games in my opinion. Some talented ass people man. I would so want a remaster of this and maybe a balanced patch to take away the infinite crap. God I would so love that

watch the 1986 movie fist of the north star, u can learn a little about what the hell is going on
@NotSnarl yeah but I don't think the other dude would watch the whole tv series in 2020
I think he meant the gameplay...
@@Next-xm2dh He totally did lmao
This game is the best nonsense.
Nice profile picture, looks like you have high tier taste.
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
tied with hisoutensoku
@@6Sezt you got it, but at what cost?
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
Hokuto Shinken is undefeatable.
Hokuto shinken wa muteki da!
This game feels like the first basic version of something they intended to expand and fix in a big update, but it never happened
This game is so insane omg
Glad it's back
OMG is it true ?

I know this is a bit late but this is what happens in the manga most of the time
Absolute bullshit? Yeah, sounds like HnK to me. Seriously, 90% of the combat is not martiak arts, is fucking magic.
@@devilbuster20xx37 you don't sound like a believer of the arts of Hokuto Shinken. Shame
@@devilbuster20xx37 Shame!
Nah if they were gonna make HNK manga accurate, it would be closer to Samurai Showdown, and everyone dies in like three hits
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.
This need to be ported to ps4
So true
I agree. Im pissed that it hasnt been ported to ps4. Or at least they should have it to download in psn store.
Yeah. Why haven't we gotten this in the store yet? Pisses me off...
Yeah, no patches or nothin. Don't change a single thing except giving it netplay and cranking the quality up a bit.
LIKE YESTERDAY!
OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it true ? Are my eyes deceiving me ? Hokuto no ken ps2 is back OMGGGG
Anything into Fatal KO never grows old.
Shit I heard about this game from a stumblebee video but I never expected it to be this insane
You remember which video?
@@TheTheThe_ th-cam.com/video/DzjoJ7OMVds/w-d-xo.html better late than never
So this game is just pretty much who manages to land the first hit and combo your opponent to death without messing it up
All fighting games are like that if you know death combos
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
This game would low-key be 10 times more appealing to watch if Toki was banned, but either way I LOVE IT!
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
wish they made a sequel or a hd remaster. beautiful manly anime beautiful game
Most broken game ever ha ha lmao ha ha ha savage godlike lol ha ha :D
I play this on my phone via retroarch emulator arcade perfect baby!
@@markocoric9233 can you send me the link to the game and emulator? Pls i was looking for it from along time
@@mar9540 on Google play search retroarch and the game rom you will find on darksoft site
lmao this game broken as shit, I love it.
I wish this game got a steam port
23:33 WTFFFFFFFFFFF
How come none of these characters are in the NBA yet?
Even though Strive and Fighterz look visually stunning theres just something more appealing to Arc Systems older games that used real sprites.
8:50 for someone actually fucking dying
did they make it like this on purpose??
Well it is made by Arcsys so, it’s entirely possible
It’s from like 2005? So they had to know how to make the game not be like this if they wanted to
@@jimmykeffer7401 probably it was rushed.
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.
Better than FighterZ
The game is so material realistic. In the manga/anime, one hit and you’re dead.
The Most Lore accurate game ever made
This game really needs a remaster and a patch
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.

Looks like s-video or composite or worse if that's even possible... BTW is that a stretched 16:9 ratio? x - X
eyyojung
Because this game developed 13years ago.
...well do they play Street Fighter II in stretched 16:9 ratio too?
BTW the game look beautiful, capture fails unfortunately. Nevermind.
@@上野-l3h you are stupid
God basketball combos never get old I gotta get into this game 😂😂
they need to make this for pc!!!!
26:30 lmaooo
Oh that shit broken🤣
This game is fucking aids lmao I love it
They played on an arcade board. Thats awesome
toki is broken
looool
What else is new
Everything is broken in this game. Literally every character is busted except maybe kenshiro. But that is what make this game incredible insane fun and boost mechanic is so goddam fun

@@priestskorge Yeah, even I sadly agree. I love long combos, but there at least needs to precise inputs after you do a move a certain number of times.
NOT EVEN ONCE THEY PICK KENSHIRO WTF PEOPLE
Kenshiro is Mid-Low tier.
Metagame characters list:
Rei
Raoh
Toki
Shin
Juda (Yuda)
Souther (Thouther)
Hugoo (thoter) XD
Don't pick anyone who isn't Toki or Rei.
@@Hugoo171 So then he's the real man's choice.
Bring this game back
My favorite bascketball game!
콤보무섭다; 132;
23:20 この1戦が1番好きだな
19:50 - 26:10 SHEESH
The fuck is up with the quality of this? What you using, original AV cables?
Sheesh...I thought that infinite was going to smoke through Toki. Boy was I wrong.
The game might as well have been called TOKI: Featuring Rei.
🔥🔥
#freeHNK
WHAT A GAME!!!!
Yeah 3 out of 5 works....

This game is a disgrace.
Embarassing
