They even have a Cabaret Club minigame and everything.

I played this game when it came out but never finished it because my PS4 constantly made the room hot as gently caress so I didn't like to turn it on. I also watched the first arc of the anime a long time ago so please enjoy as I kinda half remember both of them :v:

Kazuma Kiryu has never killed a man, but Kenshiro is going to make up for the lack.

I get my fun here. Enjoy!
This game was fun, but unfortunately it had some downsides. I liked Dead Souls better.

Still, anyone who doesn’t think Fist of the North Star is awesome can be subjected to Kenshiro’s most notorious moves.

Also, what depraved maniac would play this in English. "Omae wa mou shindeiru" is one of the most iconic phrases of the genre and who would say no to Takaya Kuroda doing it?

That would be Jagi, the runt of the 4 brothers consisting of Toki (kung fu Jesus) Raoh (huge muscular guy with ambitions for conquering the world/wasteland with the power and skill to back it up), and Kenshiro (the main protagonist). Jagi...was not as good at Hokutoshinken like his brothers, but he did make up for it by being an utter cheating poo poo and incorporating some Nantoseiken into his move set. Mind you, his poo poo tier mastery over Hokutoshinken was enough to gently caress over your run of the mill peasant and/or bandit.


That concludes this segment of "poo poo No One Asked About". :v:

Edit: Toko? Surely you mean Toki. :v:

I read through FotNS end to end once and goodness, that thing really starts to tank after Raoh huh?

THIS however I always meant to get around to, but never had the time for it. It seems a natural combination (truly who could this mystery man behind Jagi be:v:).

To add on to this, Toki is voiced by Kashiwagi's voice actor, and Raoh is voiced by Ryuji's voice actor, if anyone is curious what direction the story's gonna take :v:

I can't imagine anyone in this world has a working sense of smell anymore. drat near everyone is so gross and grody that your nose just nopes right the gently caress out. Even if you still did somehow, your nose would shut down instantly in self-defense on encountering giant boy here.

Hokuto Shinken allows the practitioner to selectively choose what odors they can smell, and to what degree. :v:

Pretty much yeah. I don't know if you noticed but Jagre is coded like your standard FotNS elite mook, mohawk and all, and it's incredibly appropriate for the place.

Suggestion: be very frugal about using your shining orbs, they're in short supply.

Which standard special move you do depends on which point of the combo you used the circle finisher.
Ex the hundred crack fist is after the longest combo (4 or 5 standard attacks -> circle), the "grab an enemy with your thumb and use him to beat other enemies" was the second longest (I want to say 3 attacks and then circle).

As you noticed the positioning for the Hokuto killing moves is kinda finicky. Simplest way is that when you connect with a circle finisher just leave the stick on neutral and wait for the animation to end, then hit circle as soon as the prompt comes up.


I should replay this, Yakuza team really gets FotNS.

Did you hear anything that a robot could think was hate speech, the bar is so low that an episode of Yakuza 3 got canned because Grace said "I hate white people" while Richardson was shooting me in the dick, and my appeal was denied within seconds of submitting when I said white people and CIA agents aren't a protected class as outlined in their hate speech policy
