| | '''Fist of the North Star (北斗の拳, Hokuto no Ken)''' is a 2D competitive fighting game produced by Sega and developed by Arc System Works, based on the manga series of the same name. It was originally released in 2005 as a coin-operated arcade game for the Atomiswave hardware. A PlayStation 2 port, retitled Hokuto no Ken: Shinpan no Sōsōsei Kengō Retsuden (北斗の拳 ～審判の双蒼星 拳豪列伝～, roughly translated as Fist of the North Star: The Twin Blue Stars of Judgment - History of the Fist Masters), was released exclusively in Japan in March 2007. |

| ==Mechanics==
| |
| ===Recovering Life Gauge===
| |
| The orange color on the life gauge indicates current life energy. The blue bar underneath the orange represents the amount that can be recovered. Recovery only occurs when a character is not being attacked or high-jumping.
| |
| ===Seven Stars of the Hokuto===
| |
| Underneath every life bar is the 7-Star gauge. Special moves and other attacks can deplete stars at any given moment of the match. A final star will be brightly displayed on the 7-Star gauge when there is only ONE star left. The player who has the "Death Star" on their gauge is now vulnerable to a "FATAL KO." When this occurs, the words "Death Fist Blow" appear on the side of the opponent's Aura bar. If the opponent is able to land his/her FATAL KO move, the round (not match) ends immediately. However, if he/she misses the move, the victim is rewarded with an extra star, therefore eliminating the threat of another FATAL KO for the moment. Both players also recover a missing star at the beginning of each round.
| |
| ===Guard Gauge and Weight System===
| |
| Depending on the characters being played, a Guard gauge sometimes appears. Similar to [[Street Fighter Alpha 3]], constant blocking and defending decreases the meter. When it reaches zero, a "Guard Crush" occurs and the defending player becomes temporarily vulnerable to attacks. This gauge only appears when characters of the same weight class have a match, with the exception of middle-weights.
| |
|
| |
|
| For instance, two heavyweights fighting each other will have a Guard gauge, as will two lightweight fighters. On the other hand, two middleweights will not. When there is a mismatch in terms of weight, only the lighter character is given a Guard gauge. For example, in a match where Mr. Heart (a heavy-weight) is fighting Mamiya (a light-weight) only Mamiya has a Guard gauge, since she is lighter and more vulnerable to being guard crushed.
| | [[Category:Hokuto no Ken]] |
| | |
| The game's weight classes are as follows:
| |
| | |
| '''Heavyweight:''' Mr. Heart, Shin<br>
| |
| '''Middleweight:''' Jagi, Juda, Kenshiro, Raoh, Rei, Toki<br>
| |
| '''Lightweight:''' Mamiya, Thouther
| |
| ===Boost Gauge===
| |
| The Boost Gauge raises gradually as a player performs attacks and Special moves. This gauge is divided into 3 levels, similarly, Boosts can be performed a maximum of three times. However, there are exceptions to this, such as when the Boost is performed during a combo. Boosting allows a player to dash toward opponents and perform quick combo chains, as well as acting as a sort of Roman Cancel. The Boost button is designated as the E button.
| |
| ===Aura Gauge===
| |
| Located beneath the Boost Gauge is the 2-level Aura Gauge, which is the meter that enables the use Super moves. When one level of Aura is full, the bar changes color from blue to gold and the words "GOD FIST BLOW" appear.
