Hokuto No Ken - Standard Juda Beasting

Every so often, when I'm talking to others about fighting games in general, this title seems to come up in conversation a lot for me anymore. And while I mean no disrespect to those that enjoy Hokuto No Ken, I have to say that I utterly loathe the game. And for those that don't know my reasons as to why, this video's second round should clearly illustrate it to you.

Juda is just one of the characters that has always had me white knuckling my controller (or stick) in rage. This guy is so nuts mainly because if his highly linkable Death Blow. Hell, it's so easily linkable that the AI on default settings can do it. And there's no reason for it. NONE!


The whole game just utterly screams, "Fuck you! Just put your controller down!" If you make one mistake, you're done. And while those would argue that other games such as MvC2 has the same problem, I'd advise those people to play against someone in Hokuto that knows what the hell they're doing. It's like they took Guilty Gear and decided to give it the severe imbalance that MvC2 has, but under the same Guilty Gear engine. I'm sorry, but that just doesn't mix well at all in my opinion.

If that was a real hnk battle, this is what happens. the game is meant to be like the comic book

It's one of those games meant to be broken.

In hindsight, it's not all that different from the manga its based on....

Still looks annoyoing as heck, though.
