[2. INTRODUCTION] [JUMP2.0]

This FAQ means to serve as the undeniable number one source for unlocking the 
gallery pics in 'History Mode' and ultimately Kenoh for player use in Hokuto 
No Ken for the Sony Playstation 2.  Each 'Historic Moment' contributes to 
fulfilling a total of 77 total moments.  When all 77 moments are unlocked, 
Kenoh will be able to be selected on the character select screen.  To do so, 
simply press START while Raoh is highlighted and he will switch over to 
Kenoh.

The game was released on March 28, 2007 and came with a pack-in DVD (Region 
2) that includes a Starter Guide, a Contest to find the real Kenshiro, a trip 
down memory lane with past HnK titles, and finally, some commercial clips and 
anime clips from the upcoming anime.

I also in no way claim to have figured out all this info on my own and am 
really just trying to place it in a lasting form for fans to come to if need 
be.  The real heroes who found out the secrets of this game are the fans 
(with particular ones named in the 'Thanks' section.)  Without fans, HnK 
wouldn't be a reality and definitely wouldn't have such a wonderful game 
available.

The core of this FAQ was already written by BBQmyNUTZ.  I rearranged some 
things, made some additions, notes, etc.

I've decided to use the numeric pad system of listing commands.  The 
community has began to shift over to this and has been a staple in Japan for 
years.  It also allows FAQs to be created faster since other methods are 
cumbersome.    Below I have made a diagram as well as listed each direction 
for posterity sake.

7 = up-Back
8 = up
9 = up-Forward
4 = back
5 = neutral
6 = forward
1 = down-back
2 = down
3 = down-forward

	In the Street Fighter series, a standard Hadouken fireball would be 
denoted as 236+P (P for any punch.)  In this game, there are 5 face buttons,
each being something different.  Below is a list of how those translate in 
the FAQ:

A = Punch
B = Kick
C = Hard Punch
D = Hard Kick
E = Boost

[5. TIPS FOR DIFFICULT MOMENTS] [JUMP5.0]

There are a couple of 'Historic Moments' that are quite annoying.  By 
annoying, I mean absolutely brain hurting and troublesome.  Heh.  Anyone, 
here are some hints on how to get past the ones that people (like myself) 
seem to have trouble with.  They are listed in chronological order.

22. Ken vs. Jagi - Connect with Ken's Guard Crash during Jagi's crouching 
block (Destroy's the Jagi Statue)
Tip: Choose Jagi and constantly crouch and block.

37. Rei vs. Raoh - Counter Rei's 236236+C with Raoh's 214214+A
Tip: Choose Rei and watch your opponent's Aura gauge.  As soon as Raoh gains 
a stock, perform Rei's 236236+C directly next to him.  Raoh will most likely 
counter you instantly.  This saves a lot of headache.

39. Toki vs. Raoh - Connect with Raoh's (Air)214+D Special in a combo
40. Toki vs. Raoh - After connect with Raoh's 214+D Special, block Toki's 2+D 
Tip: There are two approaches to this.  You can let Raoh do his signature 
abuse air combo on you (which results in the HM every time) or you can do it 
yourself.  If you choose to do it yourself, you can just block as soon as you 
hit the ground with the knife.  Toki will attack most likely with an attack 
string that includes his crouching 2+D.

50. Rei vs. Juda - Connect with Rei's OHK 236+CD while Juda is performing his 
OHK 236+CD 
51. Rei vs. Juda - Connect with Rei's OHK 236+CD 
Tip: Let Juda get you down to ZERO stars and just wait for him to whip out 
his OHK.  Juda goes OHK nuts when he can.  As soon as you see Juda power up, 
activate Rei's OHK.  You'll eliminate both in one fail swoop.  Another 
suggestion someone had was to choose Juda and wait for Rei to go nuts with his 
instant kill.  Since Rei's starts up slower, you can input Juda's and make the 
event happen that way too.
