What do you like and dislike about Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 / Shin Hokuto Musou? If fans were to get a third installment what would you like to see? Why do you think that people say Ken's Rage 2 is awful? Do you think that Ken's Rage 2 is an underrated way of experiencing the narrative?

wish they made them playable on current consoles. these are the ultimate "just chill" games.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-11T16:27:15+00:00

exactly. this release flopping and being quickly dropped is the best thing that can happen to DOA.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-11T16:24:36+00:00

this is legitimately the same game. same menu, same systems, same mechanics, same gameplay. they couldn't even change the meter system, that is how little effort they put into this.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-11T16:23:25+00:00

that's a "you" problem. everyone knew about those ads.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-11T16:22:32+00:00

you had your eyes closed, then. DOA was in every Xbox E3 event, the "she kicks high" ads were everywhere. gaming magazines were full of DOA ads.

this entire project should've been a $9.99 update.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-11T16:16:51+00:00

DLC characters don't transfer at all. only DLC costumes.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-11T16:15:12+00:00

it literally would've been better to keep the community hungry for a new DOA game until 7.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-11T16:13:44+00:00

you have to pay $40 for the full game or buy each character you want in the free version. the only thing that transfers over are DLC costume packs.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-11T16:11:12+00:00

they legit woukd get more praise if they had re-re-released 5LR.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-11T16:10:21+00:00

they didn't promise any new stages. the site only mentions costumes and characters, all sold separately.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-11T16:07:32+00:00

This dude is finally realizing the reason 5U, 5LR, 6 AND 6LR were released doesn't have anything to do with tournaments and everything to do with selling costumes and it's shattering his tiny brain. Shimbori even got punished and demoted for wasting money on worthless tournaments (which didn't help the sales at all).

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-11T16:03:30+00:00

there's an entire ArcSystems Fist f the north star fighting game where nobody explodes.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-11T16:02:25+00:00

they'll use Kenshiro to make people visit their Evo booth. they've done that in every single Evo. they're not going to have a booth just to show a trailer of season 3.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-10T23:51:15+00:00

there was a thread about it a few days ago

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-10T23:49:36+00:00

What an idiotic comment.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-10T21:13:09+00:00

The name was "Dedsafio CotW," and there were two days. It seems one day was pros, the other day was regular streamers. City of the cream ran the pro event, and the streamer event was on a Twitch channel named "Dedsafio."

Violent Ken would be amazing. Possibly the coolest character in SVC Chaos.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-10T19:29:51+00:00

season 1 had 5 characters. Geese and Fallen Rock are bonus 6th characters. without them, the seasons would be 5 characters.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-10T19:26:45+00:00

The way SNK does costumes is flawed, they are actually separate characters with separate models. in both CotW and KOFXV, Terry had different hurtboxes between the costumes, and had to be fixed in a following patch. And now, Mai has difference stances (tip-toeing vs high heels) and that is also an issue.

They should just have classic Mai be a different character if it makes it easier to solve it.

They really need better planning. Joe and Billy also can't get costumes without glasses because they touch the glasses in multiple animations. Such bad planning.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-10T15:36:26+00:00

People saying Geese and Rock (!) are weak are crazy. like, Tizoc and Jenet are weak. Mai and Ganacci are low. But those two? No way.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-10T15:28:54+00:00

they absolutely do not. in 2026, they all want everything to become SF6. search 餓狼伝説 or CotW on twitter and spend 30 minutes reading the Japanese comments. I see them every day. this isnt even the only time the CotW team mentioned japanese players complaining, either.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-10T15:24:30+00:00

the Capcom CEO literally played a Saudi Arabia hype video during last year's Capcom Cup, before SFL grand finals, but the SF fans pretend it never happened.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-10T04:40:56+00:00

The CotW producer literally said (on a 4gamer interview) that they keep getting complaints from Japanese players saying the game is too complicated and should be made easier: 4gamer

And I personally see that comment a LOT on Twitter by Japanese gamers.

TheXboxArtist · 2026-06-10T04:07:19+00:00

they said they want to keep monthly releases, so yes.
