10 Brutal Video Game Fighting Moves You Won’t Believe Exist

Anyone even vaguely familiar with the Fist of The North Star franchise will be well aware that it is born and raised on hilarious, over-the-top fighting moves. Between a mixture of your sweet martial arts skills, and a little touch of magic, you can do just about anything to any baddy you've ever met, so long as you're alright at button mashing combos.

Of these assorted combos, there is one crowning glory that stands head and shoulder above the others. Because, should you carry out the Hokuto Hundred Fist Rush, you will initially be disappointed, since it looks like nothing has really happened to the guy who just punched like seven million times.

Then, your foe starts to glow along his veins. He puffs up, looks very unsure of himself, and then explodes into tiny, tiny pieces.

If you are not consumed with childlike wonder and a kind of messed up joy the first time you see this move, the franchise may be a little too wild for you. If you're ready for some whimsical wounds, though? It's a grand old time.
