    Fist of the North Star (北斗の拳, Hokuto no Ken) is a 2005 2D head-to-head fighting game developed by Arc System Works, based on the manga and anime series of the same name. A PlayStation 2 port, retitled Hokuto no Ken: Shinpan no Sōsōsei Kengō Retsuden (北斗の拳 審判の双蒼星 拳豪列伝, roughly translated as "Fist of the North Star: The Twin Blue Stars of Judgment - History of the Fist Masters"), was released in Japan in March 2007. This version features a bonus DVD including an exclusive training mode ("Starter's Guide") and a documentary covering previous Hokuto no Ken console games. The arcade version was officially distributed by Sega in North America[1], while the PS2 port was released only in Japan.

    Gameplay

    While in both terms of gameplay and visual style, the game is similar to the Guilty Gear series (which was also made by Arc System Works), some aspects of the mechanics are slightly different.

    Seven Stars of the Hokuto

    Below each character's lifebar is a gauge with seven "stars" in the shape of the Big Dipper. Special moves, supers, and some command normals can remove varying amounts of stars. Once empty, a final "Death Star" or "shichousei" will light up and the other player can perform a special "Fatal KO" attack that can instantly defeat them, regardless of their lifebar (similar to the Instant Kill attacks in Guilty Gear.). The biggest difference is these moves may be easily comboed into, making them far more practical than their Guilty Gear counterparts. Players regain two stars at the start of each round, and one star any time an opponent unsuccessfully attempts to Fatal KO. After being Fatal KO'd, if the match is not over, that player starts the following round with all seven stars replenished.

    Boost

    Boost is one of the many meters in the game, displayed above the Aura meter in the game's HUD. The bar is divided into three sections or stocks. Using a boost (with the Boost/Special button) allows a player to cancel a move after it hits (similar to Roman Cancels in Guilty Gear), and also shoots the character forward. The player can also Boost when not doing a move, in order to jet across the screen quickly. Boosts are frequently used to perform combos that otherwise would not be possible.

    Aura

    Used to perform super moves and Guard Cancels (similar to alpha counters.) The gauge can hold two stocks. The first stock fills the gauge up with blue; the second stock fills the gauge up with gold. When at least one stock is ready, text reading "GOD FIST BLOW" appears next to the gauge. If the player's opponent has lost all his stars, it will read "DEADLY FIST BLOW."

    Characters

    There are three types of special techniques in the game:

    • Special Move (必殺技, Hissatsuwaza, "Sure-Killing Techniques") - Standard techniques that can performed through specific command-based/button inputs.
    • God Fist Blow (究極奥義, Kyūkyoku Ōgi, "Ultimate Secrets") - Techniques that can be performed when at least one stock of the Aura Gauge has been filled.
    • Deadly Fist Blow (一撃必殺拳, Ichigeki Hissatsu Ken, "One Strike Deadly Fist") - Techniques that defeat the opponent in an instant. Can be perform when the Death Omen Star appears on the opponent's Seven Star Gauge.

    Thouther

    One of the Nanto Rokusei Ken, the man who bears the burden of the Star of Leadership. The successor of Nanto Hōō Ken, the mightiest among the 108 sects of Nanto Sei Ken. He once had a lover deeper than anyone else until he renounced it and took on the name of the Holy Emperor, building himself the Holy Emperor Cross Mausoleum. A man whose body possesses a secret that makes him invulnerable to the use of Hokuto Shin Ken that not even Ken-oh himself dares to challenge him.

    Mr. Heart

    An underling of Shin, the one who calls himself "KING". His body may seemed like an excessive amount of fat, but also has the capability of absorbing the impacts of most attacks, earning it the nickname the "destroyer of martial artists". He is usually mild-mannered until he sees the sight of his own blood, in which he turns into a homicidal maniac who will not calm down until he kills someone.

    Mamiya

    She was kidnapped by Juda on the day , who also killed her parents. After escaping, she renounced her womanhood and became the leader of her village, where she met Kenshiro and Rei.
