Hakkyo-ken / Baji Quan

Agent_Wax · Post by **Agent_Wax** » Mon May 23, 2005 11:41 pm

E3 saw the premier of XBOX360 & the Dead Or Alive 4 trailer. In the trailer, you get to see uber cutie Kokoro practicing Hakkyo-ken. For this and other HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!! moments, go to

http://gametrailers.com/player.php?id=5866&type=wmv

and download the trailer. I recommend Quicktime.

So Lisa's a luchadora, that was unexpected. Most people I'd heard thought she'd be capoiera (sp?). Which one's Kokoro? The first or the second one? I'm guessing the first since the second looked like some sort of tai chi style (or so I'd think from the sword form), though that Hakkyo-ken doesn't look much more impressive, and I gotta say I don't think she's as cute as Hitomi's new outfit it displayed with the loose socks <drool>

Yea, I saw on IGN with my insider.

I like the opening in DOA:4 a lot.

I enjoy playing DOA all the time, I'm just hoping Itagaki is going rehaul the fighting engine like he said.

Actually it is Capoiera (sp?)

Wow, this is amazing...
I was especially impressed with the flowing effects shown in the kimono scene and the sword dance scene.
The cloths are actually moving independently!
Very nice.
I am looking forward to the next gen consoles.

Yeah, I'm also excited about the next-gen consoles too.

But it also sucks that I'm not a kid anymore, since I don't have as much free time as I used to.

What you've lost in free time, you've exchanged for more expendable income.
At least that's what's what I say to try uplift my depressed and overstressed self.

I remember when I was in highschool, I didn't have money to buy a PSX...

Isn't 'Expendable income' an oxymoron?

The blond boy uses Keii Ken. I don't know what that is. But I liked the monkeys...

And Jann Lee irritates the hell out of me, so I enjoy watching him get a beatdown.

I like Hitomi and her balanced style. I play her a lot in DOA3. Uh. That sounded dirty. Never mind. But I don't think she's as cute as Kokoro.

And Lisa supposedly uses a fusion of Capoeira and wrestling moves.

Hariel0079 · Post by **Hariel0079** » Tue May 24, 2005 10:51 pm

I use Ein, I personally think he's better out of the two. (though it's Hayate with amnesia)

Ein/Hayate, Ayane, Kasumi, Ryu, Lei-Fang, and Tina

Hakkyo-Ken, doesn't seem like it to me, I know Akira Yuki in Virtua Fighter uses that style

Agent_Wax · Post by **Agent_Wax** » Wed May 25, 2005 3:12 am

I never figured out how to unlock Ein for DOA3, but he's my default in DOA2.

Keii Ken is Hsing Yi Quan.

Shinpachi · Post by **Shinpachi** » Wed May 25, 2005 8:05 am

Oh, I just assumed luchadore style from the wrastling ring appearence against Bass, and from the throw that I know from my many years of watching WWF and some WCW was definitely a luchadore move, though I have forgotten the name of it now. I admittadly don't know the history of luchadore nor capoiera, so I don't know if one stems from the other, but don't DOA characters have 1 definitive style each?

The blond was a guy?! He sounded just like a girl though! Damn the Japanese and their insistence on females voicing males!

I prefer Hitomi to Ein, her moves seem to combo together better for me (I'm basically a novice with no patience to memorize any combo beyond 3 hits), even though I have a difficult time focusing with her.

To get Ein in DOA:3 all you have to do is play Hayate in Survival mode and when you lose and have to enter your name just type in EIN

but don't DOA characters have 1 definitive style each?

Yes, they do, but many don't think so. for instance the four Ninja's in the game most likely you'll hear someone say that they have all the same moves which is very ignorant on their part being that when you play with either of them the difference is visible.

Banorac · Post by **Banorac** » Wed May 25, 2005 10:50 am

Erm ... I don't see what the fuss is about, apart from the water it looked like DOA2 with differently dressed characters, performing the same moves, is this really what little the new Xbox has to offer ?

In the Xbox 360's case, the games that were being shown were running off their Alpha dev kit's and DOA:4 was being shown at 15% power. 360 isn't even finished yet so it'll look much better on the final industrial model.

Compared to the Killzone in game graphics on the PS3 this DOA movie falls into oblivion

But still, besides the graphics, I still don't get the fuss

That Killzone 2 trailer was pure pre-rendered.

No trailer or game for that matter can look that good in freakin a 2 month period.

Do you really think that Sony wouldn't provide at least some game developers acces to their next gen machine so they'd have launch titles ?

In *many* cases developers work on more than one title simultanously, who'd have known

Don't be daft

1) They claim it was real-time.

2) PS3 teams has released devkits to game developers some time ago.

Trust me, releasing development data AFTER you release a console makes no sense. Who's gonna buy a console that has no games for it?

1) It was a Sony Ceo not the people who made Killzone. Being that the purpose behind tech demo's is to show what that paticular system is POSSIBLE what it's capable of doing and also to get you to buy their product and make MONEY of course by all means they would say what people want to hear.

2) who said anything about not being games?? I said that Xbox had only their alpha kit's (which means the 360 was incomplete at the showing at E3) also it was found out that Sony was showing their Alpha kit's as well so with that said products incomplete showing a supposed In-game footage like that is highly doubtable.

MrProphet · Post by **MrProphet** » Thu May 26, 2005 9:26 pm

Okay...

Sony IS the maker of Killzone!

XBox 360 clearly sucks in terms of what it will be able to do compared to Sony's system. It has barely half of PS3's horsepower, the games they have are either meh, or multi-system, it's not fully backwards compatible.

That's not say that it will suck per se. It'll definitely capture a lot of the original next-gen console market, if only with the fact that it will be out first, and it will probably be cheaper. But head-on PS3 just destroys 360. Come on! MGS4, FFXII, UT2007, Gran Turismo 5, Tekken 6, Cell processor, the new nVidia GPU, Blu-ray...

It's a no brainer! At least, for me...

PS If only the controllers were not so prepostreous!

I could've sworn Guerilla Games were the makers and sony only published but hey what do I know.

Yes Xbox 360 does suck when it is incomplete, where did you hear it wasn't fully backwards compatible? "Xbox 360 will be backwards compatible with all the top selling Xbox games" that's left to open interpretation.

This is MS here were talking about not no noname company here.

MGS4, FFXII, UT2007, Gran Turismo 5, Tekken 6,

FF:XII whoa hold on a min. and UT:2007!

wow I stop there you said XII on the PS:3. Go back and do more research on that!

Shinpachi · Post by **Shinpachi** » Fri May 27, 2005 8:18 am

I second that!! FFXII's for PS2 right? And didn't Microsoft get like a moocho big contract with SquareEnix for them to make a kickass RPG for the release or soon after? Or was that someone FROM SquareEnix, I can't remember.

FF:XII is for the PSTwo don't know where the PS:3 came into play. (I'm still pissed at SE for not annoucing Grandia III) Xbox 360 is getting FF:XI as far as I know plus the fact that Sakaguchi and his new company name "Mist Walker" making a JRPG "Blue Dragon" on the 360 says a lot. Xbox 360 is getting a lot of support from JRPG companies.

I'm looking forward to eNCHANT Arms, DMC:4, Virtua Fighter 5, DOA:4, Tekken 6 or Zero (which ever game comes first from Namco) and that's pretty much it as of now.

I'm still waiting on Final Fantasy VII Advent Children to come out, my curiosity for that movie has been at it's peak for a while now.

Hey hey hey... they've got a bunch of new costumes in this one. Besides that, it's got new characters and some new moves, so it's more like the same monkey with an extra tail.

buemba · Post by **buemba** » Wed Jun 15, 2005 6:20 pm

As far as Lisa's style go, I don't see how it's possible to mix Capoeira with wrestling, as Capoeira uses only the fighter's legs to strike and aims to have as little contact as possible with the opponent (Basically, hit him first and hit him hard enough to prevent him from ever standing up), while luchador is a grappler style that aims to imobilize and submit the opponent.

Anyway, go Kokoro! I used to practice Ba-Gua (With a bit of Ba-ji-Quan/Hakkyokuken thrown in for good measure), and it's a very beautiful and effective style. Unlike Capoeira and wrestling, Ba-Gua and Ba-ji-Quan complement each other very well.

And that Killzone 3 trailer sure was sweet (Yes, they're showing Killzone 3 before even releasing Killzone 2 - Which is supposed to be either a PS2 or a PSP game last I heard), but until Sony releases videos of demos being controlled in real-time I won't comment on the PS3's capabilities.

Who remembers the unveiling of the PS2? Movie-like graphics! Huge amounts of polygons! Bezier models! It can render Toy Story 2 in real time! Turns out most weren't true, and what was true didn't factor in things like A.I., colision detection, textures and effects.

Remember Street Fighter?
"Hey, dudes, that Van Damme guy? He's pretty famous right? And he, like knows kungfu or some such shit, right? Wouldn't it be perfect if he were to play Guile?"

I just remembered I should translate part of that page:

Kane Kosugi as Ryu (No complaints here)
Devon Aoki as Kasumi (What the fuck?)
Natassia Malthe as Ayane (WHAT THE FUCK?!)
Jaime Pressley as Tina (Oy vey...

)
Sarah Carter as Helena (I can't go on. This is breaking my heart)
Holly Valance as Christie (...

)

My disappointment in Itagaki currently knows no bounds. All that talk about his love and respect for the characters he helped create. And then he licenses them out to make this pile of faeces.

Devon Aoki looks nothing like Kasumi.

And Malthe as Ayane. I can only wonder what kind of mind-altering substances the producers were abusing when they cast her.

The absolute least that they could do is to get an actual busty blonde WWF wrestler (someone who at least has had a modicum of pro-wrestling training) to play Tina, and there are no shortage of those. It can't be the lack of acting skills, because almost none of the other main cast can really act either. The only way they could actually make this abortion any worse is if they cast Tony Jaa as Zack.

....

Actually, that would still be an improvement.
