Regarding notation, pages in the Hokuto no Ken section of this Wiki use the numpad format, where the direction of the joystick corresponds to the keys on a numpad. It is always assumed that the player is on the 1P(left) side. For example '4' would be 'back,' '5' is 'neutral', '9' is 'up-forward,' and so on. 'Quarter-circle forward' would be written '236.'

The basic controls are as follows:

A = Light Punch
B = Light Kick
C = Heavy Punch
D = Heavy Kick
E = Boost

AB = Heavy Strike
AC = Grave Shoot
CD = Banishing Strike
236CD = Fatal KO

4C or 6C = Throw
BD = 'Tsukami Nage,' or BD Throw

6CD during guard = Guard Cancel
E during guard = Aura Guard
Guard directly before being hit = Agility Defence
Upward direction during knockdown = Quick Standing
Downward direction during knockdown = Delayed Standing

The standard arcade button layout is:
A C E
B D
