Game System
---
Energy Gauge
The players' health is indicated by orange life bars on the top of the screen.
When that runs out you lose the round. A portion of all inflicted damage
is shown as a blue segment of the life bar. This part heals (ie: turns orange)
over time as long as you aren't being attacked or high-jumping.
Seven Stars of the Hokuto
Below the life bar is the seven star gauge. Various attacks can be used to
reduce the number of glowing stars on your opponent's gauge. Once it is empty
a final "death star" will light up below their main star gauge. At this point
the "DEADLY FIST BLOW" indicator is displayed near your super bar and you
can use a special One-Hit Kill attack to win the round.
The attacks that can reduce an enemy's stars are listed below. Note that on a
counter hit special moves plus moves that otherwise take a star will usually
take an additional star. When you hit your opponent with a launch type move
(including Grave Shoot) and jump up after them, a subsequent special move
will take an extra star.
There are some restrictions on taking away stars during a combo. First, the
total number of stars than can be taken during one combo is three. Second,
any given move can be used to take away stars only once per combo. Note that
there are exceptions to both of these rules.
Both players recover one missing star at the beginning of each round. You'll
also recover a star if your opponent fails to connect with a One-Hit Kill
attack.
Guard Gauge
Next to the star gauge is the guard gauge. This is depleted as you block
attacks. When it reaches zero you'll suffer a guard crush and become
briefly unable to block. Note that this particular gauge doesn't always appear.
There are three different weight classes when it comes to guard crushing:
Heavy: Shin, Heart-Sama
Medium: Kenshiro, Raoh, Toki, Rei, Juda, Jagi
Light: Thouther, Mamiya
When a character from a heavier class fights against one from a lighter class
only the lighter character will have a guard gauge. In the event of heavy vs.
heavy and light vs. light both sides have a gauge. For medium vs. medium
neither gets a gauge.
Boost Gauge
The long bar divided into three segments is the boost gauge. It fills up
gradually as you attack your opponent. As long as it is at least 1/3 full
you can boost to cancel attacks and dash towards your opponent. Having boosted
once, the gauge empties towards the next dividing line. If you boost again
during this time you'll lose only a fraction of the current segment. The upside
here is that it is possible to boost more than once during a combo without
using more than one boost gauge segment.
It's possible to incorporate the boost input into a special move motion to
give the move extra horizontal range. Consider Shin's command throw:
63214+A
This can be changed to:
632145+E+A
to make Shin shoot forward a little bit before throwing his opponent.
Aura Gauge
Used to perform super moves, etc, the Aura Gauge is all the way at the bottom
of the screen. You can hold two Aura stocks -- the first one is blue, the
second gold. When the first stock is full the words "GOD FIST BLOW" appear next
to the gauge.
Clashes
When both players attack at the same time and the moves line up with each other
they'll clash. There's a little spark animation and both attacks will be
negated. Note that the player who had attacked with the stronger move gets
the initiative after the clash is over.
Universal Commands
---
Throw: close to opponent 4/6+C
Everyone but Mamiya. Throws have a non-zero start up so they don't work well
for wake-ups.
Overhead: 6A
Varies by character. 6B with Raoh.
Boost: E
Everyone but Heart-Sama. Uses boost gauge to cancel move recovery and charge
towards opponent.
Kyukyoku Ougi(ultimate technique): various
Super moves. Typically stars: 1/2 (normal hit/counter hit)
Ichigeki Hissastu Ougi(one hit sure killing technique): 236+CD
When opponent's seven star gauge is empty use this to KO. Miss and your super
bars reset to zero and opponent gets one of their seven stars back.
Grab: 4/6+BD
This doesn't work on crouching characters but it has more range than a regular
throw. Toki and Mamiya can't grab. Heart-sama's grab catches crouching chars.
One star.
Grave Shoot: AC
Launch opponent - hold up to fly up after them.
Banishing Strike: CD (hold) (aka Vanishing Strike)
Blast opponent across the screen. Hold 6 to auto boost after them. Auto boost
is only possible when you hit an opponent on the ground or in the air when
not part of a combo.
At max charge the Banishing Strike blasts blocking characters, although they
can wiggle the joystick to avoid a wall bounce.
Normal: one star (1/2)
Max charge vs. blocking opponent: one star on wall bounce (1/2)
Heavy Strike: AB
Unblockable. Staggers. Stars: 1/2
Agility Defense: block at the last minute
White glow indicates success. Shorter block stun, super bonus, etc. Also,
Agility Defense makes you immune to charged Banishing Strikes.
Aura Guard: hold E while blocking
Faultless defense. Depletes aura gauge while negating special move block
damage. Allows you to air block moves you couldn't otherwise.
Guard Cancel: 6+CD while blocking
Alpha Counter. One Aura stock. Invincible.
Stagger Cancel: attack button while staggered
Uses Aura gauge to cut stagger animation short.
Tech Hit: attack button while reeling in the air

Tap up just before hitting the floor to get up quicker. Hold down while on the
ground to stay down longer.
