Hokuto No Ken / Fist Of The North Star is well known in the fighting game community worldwide as being a game with a high comboability level and for its bugged gravity combos. Here are three types of bugged combos you will often meet at mid/high gaming level, and of course in video clips on YouTube from Japan / Taiwan / Hong Kong / France ...

Also, few characters are less subject to get hit by that kind of combos due to their unorthodox collision boxes (Thouther, Mamiya & Toki are good examples).

Characters like Rei & Juda have lots of dribble setups starting with 0.4/0.5 boost stock and are using most of the time a combo against a cornered opponent.

The third type of bugged combo only concerns Raoh as he is the only one who can make efficient use of it (other characters need infinite boost which is impossible to have in the arcade version of the game).
The travelling combo is basically a huge 65/70 hit combo ending with a Banishing Strike. After the Banishing Strike, you can either auto-boost and perform crouching weak kick then spam crouching weak punch, of just wait a bit, run and enter the crouching weak kick to crouching weak punch spam combo.
During the weak punches sequence :
– opponent is stuck in mid-air and only shakes a bit horizontally without bouncing.
– corner pushback for Raoh is very weak
– Raoh can use standing weak punch instead of crouching weak punchs when counter reaches 90+ hits
This is a flawless & easy combo against most of the cast except Toki who has a weird air collision box and requires a specific combo set-up.
Latest tournament matches show Raoh entering his Reversed Sai combo in order to increase the hit counter then performing Travelling at ~ 70 hits.
