Fist of the North Star (北斗の拳 Hokuto no Ken) is a 2D head-to-head fighting game developed by Arc System Works and produced by Sega Games, based on the manga and anime series of the same name. It was originally released for the arcades in late 2005 on the Atomiswave platform. A PlayStation 2 version, titled Hokuto no Ken: Shinpan no Sōsōsei: Kengō Retsuden (北斗の拳 審判の双蒼星 拳豪列伝, which roughly translates to "Fist of the North Star: The Twin Blue Stars of Judgment - History of Great Fighters"), 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 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.
