Game Data:
Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu
JAPAN 1992 | ACTION/FIGHTING
Created by Technos Japan.
Literal Translation : "Hotblood Fighting Epic"
Commonly Refered To As "Riki Kunio"
1 to 4 players
Story:
At Nekketsu High School, Kunio finding a note pinned to his locker inviting
him to a martial arts tournament. Riki comes along and finds the note, and
can't let Kunio kick some booty without him. Toraji and Toraichi make their
first and last appearance in this game, but they outperform Kunio, Riki, and
every other character in the series on the coolness scale. In a innovative
twist for a Technos game, you can also enter yourself in the tournament, and
the game will create a player based on your personal statistics.
Review:
This is my favorite NES game.
It is a straight through tournament fighter. You can join the computer or a
friend to fight your way through story mode to ending on a showdown with
Toraichi and Toraji, or you can fight up to 3 others in an all-out brawl.
Excellent action and control, beautiful graphics, great music, excellent
secrets, and 5 different classes of fighters to learn, each with a better
movelist than the ones you get on Marvel -vs- Capcom 2.
This game is part of the Nekketsu series of games starring Kunio. If you are
American, think "Super Dodge Ball" and "River City Ransom".
About This FAQ:

This page is a downgraded version of
http://www.rahga.com/nkd/ . If possible,
I suggest going there instead, because it contains a GIF of the Hiragana-based
passwords.
Many of the secrets can also befound on these Japanese sites, along with extra
and less reliable information, such as working theories on character creation:

I'll add more links to sites that have less to do with this game and more with
the series in the next revision.

| If you can't read Japanese..... |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| There is a IPS patch for the game availiable at |
|
http://utd.dynip.com/oc/rikikunio/ . |
| If you are more of a purist, you shouldn't have too much trouble with this |
| game. Mashing A over and over will get you through most screens. After the |
| title screen, you can choose to play the story mode (top) or the battle |
| mode (bottom). Story goes through a tournament to meet with "Double Tiger". |
| The other option lets you and 3 other fighters duke it out in an exhibition |
| match. |
| After choosing the game mode, you will be able to create a character. First |
| you will be asked to enter either your name (1st option) or a password (2nd |
| option). Create a 5-character name, and choose "end" in the bottom corner. |
| You will then be asked to choose a birthday and your blood type (explained |
| below). The rest is automatic. In between fights, you can check on the |
| status of your fighter and where you rank in the tournament. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Creating a character |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| There are 5 times as many Astrologers in America than Astronomers. Yep, |
| enough of us Westerners believe in astrological signs and the complete bull |
| associated with it all. But, like it or not, it's kinda worse in the |
| Eastern countries. Even in some video games, like Gradius III, you are |
| forced to give your sign in the high score list! The thought is that your |
| sign, blood type, and name help defines who you are and how you act. So, in |
| creating characters for play from scratch, why would Technos assign random |
| stats? By using your personal information, they can create a fighter that |
| reflects the true you! |
| |
| Unfortunately, I'm still having a hard time figuring out how all of this |
| works out, as are many others out there. With the cheats you will find at |
| the bottom of the page, most of us quit caring as much about creating |
| fighters anyway. Nevertheless, I have not discovered what role blood type |
| plays yet. In case you are wondering about the "real life" view, most |
| opinions say: |
| A : social introvert, perfecitionist |
| B : social extrovert, overbearing |
| AB : strong, natural leader, quirky |
| O : hyper-motivated, healthy, insecure |
| |
| Your name also plays a significant part in the starting attributes you get |
| under speed, strength, etc. I do not yet know how it is calculated, but I |
| have seen several theories and basic charts which don't always work. |

| Character Creation: Names, Birthdays, and Blood Types. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The special moves are assigned based on your birthday. The following chart |
| has only 20 patterns, and each pattern is simply a list of moves you will be |
| assigned. For January, from the 1st through the 20th, the number of the day |
| is the same number of the pattern that you are assigned. After you reach the |
| number 20, start back at 1 on the pattern list. Beyond January, add 1 for |
| each month. |
| For example: Jan 10th, Jan 30th, Feb 11th, and October 30th use pattern # 10.|

| Team Colors And Compatability |
+-------------+-------------+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+
| I'm still not sure how much of an effect compatibility has on the game, but I know |
| that it is measured in at least 5 levels, because there are 5 different team outfit |
| colors. The best color is Red, followed by Blue, White, Green, and finally Yellow. |
| For example, Kunio is a Sagittarius, obviously the friendliest sign of the zodiac. |
| This means he works best with a Taurus, Aries, Leo, or a Virgo. Lo and behold, Riki |
| is a Taurus. Perfect team, eh? |

| HINTS |
+-------+
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Game Endings |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| There are three different endings to the game, each one |
| differs from the others only slightly. |
| To access them: |
| * Ending #1: Beat the 1p story without Kunio |
| * Ending #2: Beat the 2p story. |
| * Ending #3: The best ending, beat the 1p story with Kunio |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Story mode with stock characters. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| To play as Riki, Kunio, or any other of |
| the main characters with their initial |
| statistics, just get the password for |
| them from their status screen shown in |
| battle mode. The cheat sections has |
| passwords for every character at full |
| power. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+
| EASTER EGGS |
+-------------+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Sound Test |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| It's a useless, but common, easter egg. At the title screen, |
| hold down SELECT, LEFT, and press A. |
+------------+----------------------------------------------------+

| CHEATS |
+--------+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Clone Game |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Normally in battle mode, each character can be used only by |
| one player at a time. To remove this restriction, hold down |
| A+B on the second controller while pressing START on |
| controller one at the title screen. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Final Battle |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| To skip 14 fights on the road to Toraji and Toraichi, hold |
| down SELECT and RIGHT at the title and press A. Then just |
| choose story mode and choose your characters. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Play as Toraji and Toraichi |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| This secret is a personal favorite of mine. Select battle mode, |
| the number of players you want to use, then press RIGHT to |
| choose not to use a custom character but don't press A yet. |
| Hold down SELECT and continue holding it for the entire process.|
| Press A to enter the character select screen. Once there, press |
| and hold Right if you want to use Toraji, or press and hold Left|
| to use Toraichi. Then press A to finalize your choice. You can |
| repeat this process for characters 2 through 4. |
