Sentoki 5

戦闘機 Sentoki 5 (戦闘機; fighter) is a 3D fighting game developed by Orange Soft and published by ACS. It is the sequel to 戦闘機 Sentoki 4 and the fifth and final part of the Sentoki series. Released for Arcades (System 203: ATLANTIS), PlayStation 4, XBox ONE, Nintendo Switch and the Samsung Zeo.

Gameplay
Gameplay remains the same as previous installments, but with a few new changes.

The Fury system has been revamped, with the introduction of the “Fury Drive”, a highly-damaging cinematic attack that can only be used when the player is in Fury mode. Upon usage, the Fury Drive attack will also shut off the player’s Fury Mode for the rest of the round, so players need to use the attack wisely.

Another new introduction is the addition of “Power Points”. Each player starts off with 3 power points per match, which can then be used for special abilities that can be performed during the match. However, Power Points cannot be regained after usage until the next match starts, thus the player needs to use his or her Power Points wisely.

Gameplay mechanics that use up Power Points include “Impact Enders”, special attacks that can only be perfomed after performing certain moves, and are meant to be utilized as juggle finishing attacks, and “Saving Reversals” which allows players to perform reverals during hitstun instead of before, but can only be performed during ground hits, thus players aren’t allowed to perform Saving Reversals while launched.

Aside from the clothing effects featured in the previous game, the new graphics engine of Sentoki 5 now allows real-time body damage. This time around, the figher’s clothes can get slightly ripped and torn, and bruises and cuts would be reflected on their faces and bodies as the fight goes on. The game’s graphics, powered by Unreal Engine 4, are rendered in 4K UltraHD, resulting in the crispest and clearest graphics in a Sentoki game yet.

The PlayStation 4 version incudes support for PlayStation VR, allowing players to view fights at many different camera angles, as well as to play a specialized first-person mode that puts them on the fighters’ point of view.

Story
Near the end of the fourth tournament, Nixon had defeated K2, officially winning the fourth tournament. However, he did not care about this, as Nixon suddenly ran off to the Orion building shorly after the announcement.

After taking down a handful of Orion’s guards with his bare hands, Nixon stormed into Ranzou Kihara’s office so he could spill out everthing that he knows about him.

Upon encountering Ranzou Kihara in his office, Nixon went face-to-face with the CEO. It was then that Ranzou told him the truth that he was looking for all along.

Nixon was actually a failed experiment by Orion. A guinea pig for testing out the “perfect fighter” DNA on live subjects. He, alongside several other people, were stripped off their previous memories and geneticaly reconstructed as “perfect fighters”. However, the experiment on him failed, as his body did not accept these changes, thus only giving him half of the effects of the experiment.

Ranzou also told Nixon that his sister still works for Orion, now known as the cold-blooded assasin Mira, which explained her comparatively mellow behavior when fighting him.

Nixon was shocked to know all of these revelations that he did not notice the guards behind him. The guards then proceeded to escort Nixon out in the building. However, his mind is still in disbelief.

Nixon then spent a three-year interim under the custody of the Ikushimas after they offered themselves to take care of him. During this time, he also developed a romantic relationship with Kei, whom he had once met in the tournament. He lived his life in peace, but deep inside, he still possesses the desire to destory Orion and save his sister from their clutches.

Meanwhile, Orion Corporation went mostly forgotten. Although the company still existed, they mostly became docile, and were no longer as notiorious as before. There are sources that claimed that Orion is secretly planning something sinister behind the curtains, while others claimed that they were facing bankrupcy. But no one could confirm or deny these claims.

It all seemed like Nixon was now living the peaceful life that he wanted… until one day changed everything.

One day, another series of attacks and kidnappings took place in several places around the world. All of them involving Orion, once thought to be long dead. Rumors regarding these attacks trickled once again, some claiming that it was for a restart of their “perfect fighter” project, while others claimed that it was a whole new project altogether. But one thing was confirmed: Orion was planning on something all along.

Realizing that it was the perfect time, Orion by announcing the fifth Sentoki: Global Martial Arts tournament. With the promise of a much bigger prize than ever, the tournament attracted lots and lots of participants, and interest in Orion skyrocketed once again. The announcement that Ranzou Kihara himself would be the final adversary that the participants would face only added more fuel to the fire.

To Nixon and the Ikushimas, it was like the golden opportunity that they have all been waiting for. The chance to finally crush Orion once and for all. Thus, the three of the decided decided to join the tournament. Each for their own reasons:

Shin, to finally exact his long-awaited revenge for his deceased mother.

Kei, to find out the whole truth about her relationship with Ranzo.

And Nixon, to save her sister and regain their past memories back.
