Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple [PS2] - play as Odin / Ryuto

Описание: This is a play-through using Odin / Ryuto Asamiya in the PS2 game Shijyou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi: Gekitou! Ragnarok Hachikengou. Read on below for more information...

Odin is the one and only genuine boss of the game. He is an unlockable playable character.

===== About Odin / Ryuto =====
As the game is based on a Japanese manga series, Odin naturally looks like a typical tall anime guy with "cool hair" and glasses. He is dressed smartly in a suit for his default costumes, and uses mixed martial arts, to which he formed into his own style. He has also mastered Seikuken, which is a technique that allows him to create a barrier to neutralize opposition moves.

Gameplay -wise, he seems to be a powerful character with very good combo abilities. His Forcefield special move comes out very fast and covers a large range... it's quite a cheap move.

==== About Kenichi: Gekitou! Ragnarok Hachikengou ====
The game is based on a Japanese manga/anime series of the same name (Shijyou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi). The story seems to be about a young school student in the name of Kenichi who trains in martial arts under the masters of Ryozanpaku in order to protect himself from bullies. As his martial arts improves, he becomes a target of a group called Ragnarok, who are a gang of bullies looking to recruit or defeat him.

Design-wise, there is a Rival Schools/Project Justice vibe going on in this game, because the characters could easily be inserted into Project Justice and fit in. This is another example of classic Capcom's expertise at turning a manga/anime/cartoon franchise into a fighting game. Even though this game is lesser known (possibly bordering on obscure) and nowhere near as famous as Jojos, RS and Tatsunoko, you simply cannot doubt the artistry and effort put into it.

The gameplay is very heavily combo-based, and is all about stringing basics, specials and supers together. The game features an 8-way walk/run system (like Soul Calibur), so you cannot really "jump" or "crouch" in it. Another unique aspect is that when travelling forward, you cannot walk - instead you always run.
