Video game guideHokuto no Ken
Hokuto no Ken Seikimatsu Ōgi Hiden no Sho (SoftBank Creative, 2006) 北斗の拳 世紀末奥義秘伝之書
Overview
“Hokuto no Ken, secret book of the ultimate techniques of the century’s end” (北斗の拳 世紀末奥義秘伝之書) is the guide to the Hokuto no Ken fighting game by Arc System Works, released in arcades by Sega in 2005. It is published by SoftBank Creative, which would publish the guide to the game’s PlayStation 2 adaptation the following year. Its presentation promises the complete “exclusive” walkthrough of the arcade version (アーケード版「北斗の拳」を独占完全攻略!!), with move lists, tactics and combos for each character, all the frame data from normal moves to special moves, and how to trigger the moves, lines and scenes that only appear under certain conditions.
The book opens with the basic vocabulary of Hokuto no Ken and an explanation of the game system. It then reviews the ten playable characters, Kenshiro, Raoh, Toki, Jagi, Shin, Rei, Yuda, Souther, Heart and Mamiya, after a diagram of their relationships. Next come the strategy against the computer, the endings, the carefully crafted scenes (君はコダワリの演出を見たか!?) and the stages. The data section lists, character by character, the victory messages, the voices and the properties of the moves. A series of sidebars, “the column of Lord Heart, martial arts killer” (ハート様の拳法殺しコラム), covers hitboxes and the score system.
