Fist of the North Star (arcade)/Bugs

Rei's Infinite 623C [ARCADE]
This was the first serious bug found in the early days of the game in arcades. Boosting Rei's move after a Grave Shoot makes Rei going upwards forever. This caused the Atomiswave system to hang up when time is up.

Once tolerated with 2 boost stocks (using boost during his infinite caused Rei to fall down), the bug is now totally forbidden in tournaments as it's rather easy to pull off now. Notice how this bug shows up another one that is widely use nowadays : the bounce bug. This bug has been fixed by Arc System Works in the PS2 version of the game and thus doesn't work anymore.
 * Command : During [[Image:HNK_Atomiswave_Button_A.png]][[Image:HNK_Atomiswave_Button_C.png]] Grave Shoot, perform [[Image:HNK_Atomiswave_Button_E.png]] then [[Image:HNK_Atomiswave_Button_C.png]] very quickly.

Shin's MUTEKING [ARCADE]
Another serious bug affecting the game. Shin can become invincible to everything if he boosts his right after a Grave Shoot. In case of success, Shin will leave the ground while performing the move, he then becomes invincible and can still hit you while you can't touch him. Considering the extreme cheapness of tolerating this bug, this has been banned from use. This bug has been fixed by Arc System Works in the PS2 version of the game and thus doesn't work anymore.
 * Command : During [[Image:HNK_Atomiswave_Button_A.png]][[Image:HNK_Atomiswave_Button_C.png]] Grave Shoot, perform [[Image:HNK_Atomiswave_Button_E.png]] then [[Image:HNK_Atomiswave_Button_C.png]] very quickly.

Opponent Air Freeze
This bug can be performed by most characters. The way it works is pretty easy to understand : opponent has to be sent on the wall with a Banishing Strike, but your character has to go farther than the opponent, then you hit him from the back with a boosted attack to finally reappear in front, then perform a super move. The game understands the following : This bug can be done with everyone except Shin, Mamiya & Mr. Heart ; since it's as cheap as Shin's MUTEKING and can lock up the machine, this bug has been banned during game tournaments but hasn't been fixed by Arc System Works as it was found after the PS2 release.
 * 1) make opponent go on the wall after the Banishing Strike
 * 2) inverse wall direction after the hit from the back
 * 3) where to go after the super freeze time ? 1.+ 2.
 * Command :
 * 1) [[Image:HNK_Atomiswave_Button_C.png]][[Image:HNK_Atomiswave_Button_D.png]] then [[Image:HNK_Atomiswave_Button_E.png]] (cancels hit pausetime)
 * 2) Basic move then [[Image:HNK_Atomiswave_Button_E.png]] (cancels hit pausetime again)
 * 3) Any super move (freezes opponent)
