Story: Shirahama Kenichi is an average student who has earned the nickname "Weak Legs" from always getting bullied. One day he meets a cute girl named Furinji Miu who helps him build the courage to begin training at a mysterious dojo where she lives. Here Kenichi faces intense training from masters of many different martial arts styles as he attempts to become stronger.

General: Shijou Saikyou no Deshi: Kenichi, translated as History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi, is a PS2 3D fighting game from Capcom, based on the anime series of the same name. So far, it looks like it's only being released in Japan. :(

   For each character you can choose two battle styles "Quiet" and "Motion". Quiet focuses on defense and counter attacks, while "Motion" focuses on attacks and explode anger (super combos). During battles there are 3 types of attacks: shock skills (strikes), truth skills and return skills (counter attacks). Shock skills are stronger than Truth skills; Truth skills are stronger than Return skills; and Return skills are stronger than Shock skills.

Closing Comment: I haven't watched the anime, so I don't know much about the series. It looks somewhat interesting, although some of the character designs look a bit weak to me. Others don't look too bad, but a few of them look like they're right out of Project Justice's neck of the woods. I'd like to give the game a try eventually. ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
