Sentoki 4

戦闘機 Sentoki 4 (戦闘機; fighter) is a 3D fighting game developed by Orange Soft and published by ACS Softworks. It is the sequel to 戦闘機 Sentoki 3 and the fourth part of the Sentoki series. Released for Arcades (System 201) and the Samsung Zeo as an exclusive title.

Gameplay
The game adds a second Ultimate attack for each character, which can be performed with a certain motion unique to each character. Because of these changes, the old method of pressing all four buttons to perform an Ultimate attack has been abolished completely.

Another new game addition is the inclusion of "Advancing Guard", which allows the defending player to push the opponent away, allowing for advanced comeback tactics. Advancing Guard can be performed by pressing P+K while blocking the opponent's attack.

The game also includes new real-time clothing damage, similar to that featured in Orange Soft's previous title Half*Dead. Some stages include water, mud or certain other elements which can be reflected on the fighter's body as the fight progresses.

The console ports include a new Character Creation mode, which allows players to create their own fighter by changing their name, gender, voice, attire and movesets.There are 10 slots available for new characters, each with four individual costume slots for additional outfits.

Story
As Kei Ikushima reaches the finals of the Sentoki tournament, Ranzou Kihara, who was watching over the tournament, decided to unleash K1, a clone created in Kei's image and infused with all of the fight data collected by Orion, upon her.

Kei was able to defeat the clone and win the tournament, until Ranzou, not liking the results, decided to restart the match.

As the match got restarted, K1 proceeded to attack the battered and exhausted Kei in cold blood, delivering vicious blows and strikes, which incapacitated her.

She was about to be killed by K1 when Shin intervened and fought with the clone. He was eventually able to defeat K1, but Kei barely survived after the injuries she suffered, and was sent to the hospital.

Meanwhile, a mysterious man who goes by the name of "Nixon" watches the entireity of the tournament through some of the TVs displayed on a surplus window.

All alone on the streets, Nixon has no memory about his past, and has lived his life as a vagrant, walking the streets of Tokyo and occasionaly fighting as a shoot boxer.

However, despite his amnesia, he seems to recognize the face of Ranzou Kihara.

He dosen't understand it either. He just felt something... familiar about him.

Almost a year after the last tournament, Orion would announce the next Sentoki: Global Martial Arts tournament. Upon hearing news about it, Nixon decides to enter the tournament, thinking that Ranzou has all the answers to his past.
