Fist of the North Star (arcade)/Advanced

Jump Install (star removal)
The Jump Install "feature" originally comes from the Guilty Gear series developed by ARC System Works. By cancelling the jump start animation, it basically allows you to perform an extra jump where you couldn't do so. This is extremely used in GG but is rather different in Hokuto No Ken. The Jump Install feature of HNK only allows you to remove an extra star on moves that originally don't remove a star. The best example of it would be Thouther's Spear Toss move (623A or C). If you perform it in a regular combo starting from a Grave Shoot, you won't remove a star, but if you Jump Install the move by performing 62369A/C (i.e by performing a Tiger Knee motion), the game will register it as an air move done on ground and a star will disappear.

Hit Stop Cancel
The Hit Stop Cancel feature of HNK relies on both Boost & Aura gauge. You can instantly cancel the hit pausetime of a basic move into a super move by pressing both the button required by the super move and the boost button, provided that you have boost & aura in the respective gauges. Most seen examples of HSC are Toki's 2D cancel into 236236C and Raoh's 2C cancel into 214214A, giving the feeling of accelerated super moves.
