Not having a community around this game is kind of big suck, there was some rumblings about it in my local area but it never got off the ground before COVID unfortunately. Even then, this is PS2-era ASW, so you'll have to dedicate some pretty serious lab time to just make some headwater here, doubly so because of how oppressive the offense in this game can be. Still, practicing and hitting dribble combos is very fun, getting a solid two-touch on the arcade AI is a good time, and this game is based on one of the most aesthetically unique shonens out there, so it's all great fun. I mean, sure, it's Mad Max Martial Arts if you're uncultured, but did Mad Max have the audacity to try and fit a Jesus Figure in Toki, Mr. Masculinity Incarnate in Raoh, and the ultimate joke character in Jagi all in the same narrative? Didn't think so.
hypest it's ever been. there is no reason to money match this game, but it remains the absolute sickest. audio design is horribly loud like +R and SBX. virtually every character is capable of killing off of one touch. bottom tiers are the worst ever, and top tiers are the best ever.
this game was hype enough to make me sit through the entirety of Hokuto No Ken, a show notorious for being the forefather of Shounen Filler where it's just protag goes to town to beat up a nameless throwaway baddie to put off the actual plot for #sales. i appreciated it and am attached to it even throughout its obvious flaws, mostly because HNK (arcade) was such a cool final realization of the show's actiony elements.
king of shitty fighting games. never to be dethroned. it will never be more hype than HnK.

One, If not the most broken fighting game that I ever seen. And I love it.
Its Hokuto No Ken in all his glory, with all the attacks, reference and a pretty solid roster of characters. ArcSystemWorks always deliver good fighting experiences... But this time is a little different, the balance and glitches make the game scale to another level in terms of mechanics, every character have his own broken things (ESPECIALLY TWO OF THEM) and the graphics are as beautiful as always ArcSys has delivered. I recommend the game of you want to experience and crazy fighting game that has nothing to envy at games like Marvel Vs Capcom or FighterZ.

I’m not a fighting game expert so I don’t really know the deep complexities of what makes a fighting game good, but as a FOTNS fan girl I loved this. Being able to play as my favs was great. The controls are janky, which would usually be bad, but is so over the top that it’s fun, especially with how true to the nature of the series it is. Artstyle is really nice, ost is pretty banging, and the fanservice is fun. Wish there was some more characters and a bit of polish tho. 9/10
Generic anime game... again. The graphics and sprite works in this game are amazing. Even the stages are creative, specially Jagi and Mamiya village, but the game itself.... oh man, awful. Very basic repetitive combos, which makes very easy to do inifinte combos and is also unbalanced. Not a good game.
