Love how she goes from "This can't be happening!!!" to "Hmph, weakling" halfway in. Easily one of the best optional character paths in fighting games at least.
I was happy to see her in Capcom VS SNK 2, I still believe there will be a Last Blade 3 someday, I want to see a grown-up Kotetsu fight with her father's powers, Zantetsu's grandson as the new Zantetsu, Hibiki's idol warrior, and some other things hinted in LB2 endings
I don''t understand this game (I'm thinking of getting it). How do you "not kill" your enemies? I've seen a Sane Hibiki playthrough here on YT and it doesn't seem any different. She still ends the fights with the Iainuki (Quickdraw) move. Is there some sort of setting you have to choose for non-killer endings? I haven't found much explanation on the topic (mostly found technical arcade competition stuff).
I know this comment is a few months old but I'd still like to share my observations. If blood is off (by default for the English arcade version I believe) it is impossible to kill enemies at all. Versions including the modern port to Steam have the option to toggle blood on, though, and when that happens, you can "kill opponents" through several means. Characters with swords or sharp weapons such as Hibiki and Kaede should be able to "kill" their opponents with their Strong (C button) attacks, certain specials involving their weapons that do not set the victim on fire, electrocute them, freeze them, etc., and also certain Desperation/Super Desperation Moves. Characters without such means of attack such as Juzoh and Lee (as they fight mainly with blunt objects, their hands, etc.) can still technically "kill" their foes too (denoted by special win quotes in their arcade runs) if they manage to win the final round of a match with a Desperation or Super Desperation Move. I main Hibiki in LB2 so I can tell you that the moves you want to consider using to end the final round if you want to trigger the kill animations to get the psychopath ending are all of her Strong attacks, specials including Distance Slash, Beckoning Slash, her unblockable (available only in Power Mode), her Desperation and Super Desperation. If blood is turned off, none of these will cause the kill animation - even with the Iainuki move you mentioned, and so getting Hibiki's psychopath ending is impossible.
@chko714 Yes. You can turn the blood on on some emulators. If you're using Final Burn Alpha: Press F2 > Setting up the sof dip > Slot 1 The Last Blade 2 > Cruel Fight On
@Loptous Her other DM is pretty hard to master so I can understand. Other than that, you did win so no need to beat you over the head with that. Okay, it looks cheap since you weren't as diverse as you could've been but then again, it's still worthy. Hibiki has many moves but it takes quite some time to master her completely. And for someone who claims to "suck", you did pretty good.
i have this on dreamcast but i SELDOMLY play it. it doesnt appeal to me as much as samurai spirits even tho its GORGEOUS to look at. however i do use hibiki in cvs2. maybe ill pick this back up because it is a great game overall and something for me to get into besides KOF, FF or SF
@alrune8 I could have done better against Kaede and Juzoh (which I had to purposely get hit by after I missed the first DM). I also had quite a lot of luck against Moriya and Kouryu. They could have punished me pretty badly. The run doesn't have much diversity either. I pretty much only used her quick slash and DM.
+Dark Ryoshi You need to deal with the NeoGeo dip switches, there's a menu for that too usually to turn them on, think of it like a BIOS menu, emulator should have options for that.
Did you play on a emulator?? Because I use the Neo-Geo emulator and, because I can't do things like blood and kill the enemy (sorry for my grammar I'm no to good with that jaja)
I actually prefer to play her on either Speed or EX, mostly EX so that I can get my Speed combos, my Super cancels and my SDM. See my video response for a glimpse of how I use her in actual human combat. You'll even see my Hibiki Bankai. For someone who uses her on Power, you didn't suck as bad as you said you did, lol.
Hibiki's a nice girl that isn't used to the bloodshed. If you bisect EACH of your foes, she gradually becomes more of a "psychopath". When she says, "I can't take it, I'm going mental!" she's close to breaking. When she killed Moriya @4:50, she broke and you get a different ending where she has an evil sneer and says, "I will triumph!" I don't know if there's a non-psycho ending on youtube for Hibiki...

The original genocide run.
More games should do alternate paths and dialogues for killing or not killing the opponent.
This is why I liked her.
Or even the other characters from last blade series should have that duh
I was happy to see her in Capcom VS SNK 2, I still believe there will be a Last Blade 3 someday, I want to see a grown-up Kotetsu fight with her father's powers, Zantetsu's grandson as the new Zantetsu, Hibiki's idol warrior, and some other things hinted in LB2 endings
I was looking for a "Psychopath Hibiki" playthrough and I'm very satisfied with this video
OMG. I just remembered when I was a little child, I always chose Hibiki as my girl. These scenes truly bring my happy memories back.
Last Blade 2 should be given the title of "most somber fighting game ever made"
So sad... Saddest victory music ever too.
Dude, don't skip the cutscenes.
Whos here after the samurai shodown announcement?
Me, and i'm glad to see her on SamSho 😊
Me. I was so happy when she got announced

One of the most underrated games ever SAMSHO def needs more love!
This is a beautiful game.
i still remember the year 2003 when i just having first pc and get neo geo with this game
You know why I'm here!!!
Seeing this brings me back some good memories playing this game

the option to "kill" enemies are determined by dip switches on the arcade machine, on emulators you can manipulate those on the service menu
@chko714 Yes. You can turn the blood on on some emulators.
If you're using Final Burn Alpha:
Press F2 > Setting up the sof dip > Slot 1 The Last Blade 2 > Cruel Fight On
My favourite character that I can beat the final Boss in my childhood life. It was fun to use Lee or Akari anyway...
hey good run man!
great run...but I wanted to see that super move where she does the single slash...
@Loptous Her other DM is pretty hard to master so I can understand. Other than that, you did win so no need to beat you over the head with that.
Okay, it looks cheap since you weren't as diverse as you could've been but then again, it's still worthy. Hibiki has many moves but it takes quite some time to master her completely. And for someone who claims to "suck", you did pretty good.
@Loptous And if I'm using neo geo emulator?? Thanks for the answer

How do you do the special move in which you kill the opponent? I've been trying to but even when it connects it does not kill the opponent.
+Dark Ryoshi You need to deal with the NeoGeo dip switches, there's a menu for that too usually to turn them on, think of it like a BIOS menu, emulator should have options for that.
Ahhh I see, I'll mess around with that. Thanks!
Nurse Joy's slasher movie.
+1CoolDudeMe I think it says 'Enteisho!'
Multiple endings
superb, as i can't use her, even tho there was a command list, even tho for arcade controller and i played it with keyboard
Did you play on a emulator?? Because I use the Neo-Geo emulator and, because I can't do things like blood and kill the enemy (sorry for my grammar I'm no to good with that jaja)
it ten san gek!
mesatsu.
Lucky. :D
How do you do that finishing move? Its awesome.
If you're still wondering, you do that by finishing the match with a hard slash. Some super moves also count.
I actually prefer to play her on either Speed or EX, mostly EX so that I can get my Speed combos, my Super cancels and my SDM. See my video response for a glimpse of how I use her in actual human combat. You'll even see my Hibiki Bankai.
For someone who uses her on Power, you didn't suck as bad as you said you did, lol.
FinalBurn Alpha
At 1:04 did he say "nin ten do"?!!
Aren't you supposed to get a message for using only one token?
Her idol is Ukyo Tachibana
I had a feeling she was connected to Samurai Shodown for some reason, and not just because of the intro between her and Haohmaru in Capcom vs SNK 2
She's way better than ukyo though
These games are in the same universe?
@@salj.5459 they are not, it was a joke.
Does Moriya's grip on that sword look familiar to anyone else?!
.
Any Samurai Spirts fans?

Give up?

Zankuro
it was more similar to genjuro
Move over Undertale
She's using a fighting style called BattoJutsu
That's Kenshin, she's using a real style called Iaijutsu though
cho e hỏi game này là game j v
Last Blade 2
she looks like rukia from bleach
That's the reason why we call it "animation generation" then
A lot of characters both from games and anime share the same image
Snk vs Capcom 2
It's really not that bad.
No you hadn't and never will have
Her reaction after killing Moriya is different... why?
Isn't Setsuna her rival?
Setsuna is Yuki's rival and her reaction is different because it's her 6th kill, where she got used to blood and killing.
Hibiki's a nice girl that isn't used to the bloodshed. If you bisect EACH of your foes, she gradually becomes more of a "psychopath". When she says, "I can't take it, I'm going mental!" she's close to breaking. When she killed Moriya @4:50, she broke and you get a different ending where she has an evil sneer and says, "I will triumph!"
I don't know if there's a non-psycho ending on youtube for Hibiki...
fascinating. only SNK
@@lionelsteele007 We have it, there is another ending which she says that she has found a strong companion and then smirks
Cho xin click room game
I hate power hibiki
