In Memory of ijji Kwonho

Kwonho was an online fighting game that used to be hosted on www.ijji.com.

Just a little montage from ijji KwonHo's last night in service. I would have liked to have gotten a wider collection of flashier moves, but I think it worked out okay considering the time constraints.

My main characters were Dracomancer (MT) and Tyranny (BJ).

...One of your main characters...was a BJ?? Please...elaborate.

[DarkGem2]

@HaseoTakaeda,

I used two main characters while KwonHo was around: Dracomancer, a Muay Thai character; and Tyranny, a Ba Ji Quan character.

I did not use Tae Kwon Do, Tai Chi, or Judo much.

is this Hakenden?or am i way off?

[DarkGem2]

@txdx,

No, you're right. It's a game that's had a few different versions in a few different countries.

It is known as KwonHo in Korea and North America / International, Jing Wu in China, and Hakenden in Japan.

There are differences, but the engine and main idea are the same between them.

(Sorry for double post; misspelled something important.)

Is there a possibility of still playing it ANYWHERE, please answer ;)

[DarkGem2]

@HustlerxXXx,

Some diehards have moved to JingWu. The game is almost all in Chinese. But if you look up "OurKwonHo" on Google, you'll find a forum with registration.guides and people to answer your questions and coordinate games and stuff.

I don't know any more than that. But good luck. I hope you find what you're looking for there.

KwonHo was taken from Ijji for legal reasons.

In an effort to leech more money from potential customers, Ijji severely dumbed down their version from the Korean version, hosted by Hangame, and would add payment options to the game later.

Ijji signed a contract saying they'd strictly market this game for North American players. However, it stole customers from Hangame's audience, and essentially took their business.

They are a terrible company, always have been and always will be.

Tragic news is that jingwu has been taken down.The company that owns it cannot afford it anymore.Look for the one in japan if its still up :(

@JustTVinc So something similar happened to Drift City too? I remember KwonHo, never tried it, but I was going to DL it and try it out but on that day Ijji said they were gonna remove it =( and then there was another game, they also removed.

I loved that game even though I stumbled upon it later than most people. My PC sucked at the time, so I could barely play it, but it reminded me so much of Tekken. Muy Thai was probably my favorite style on there just because of some combos and the damage my character could do. This game took me a few days to a week to get the hang of, but once I did, nothing stopped me from playing it.

I don't know how true the top rated comment is, the last few months of the game, there were only about 300 people on at most at a time.
