Yo, so I've recently been reading Fist of the Blue Sky, a prequel to Fist of the North Star (both are really great reads, highly recommend you read them), and I've seen some pretty impressive abilities used that aren't listed on the wiki. I haven't finished FotBS yet, but here's what I've seen so far
Hokuto Shinken users should get:
Sleep Manipulation: Kasumi Kenshiro, a user of Hokuto Shinken, uses a pressure point technique to put a room full of guards to sleep (no not like that
. He also puts another guy to sleep with a pressure point. Puts Erica to sleep with a pressure point
Mind Manipulation or Mind Control: Kenshiro makes a corrupt priest answer all his questions
Uses a pressure point to help a woman regain her memory
Makes a ma confess his sins
Makes a ma drink a bowl of spit (gross)
Manipulates a mans memories and somehow learns his name
Makes a ma confess against his will
Copies Tai-Yang's mind control technique (More on that later)
Makes it so Lou Hu-Cheng can't say his name without blowing up. He says his name
Power Mimicry: Ken acknowledges the existence of the Suieishin technique, which lets him copy any technique during a fight. The technique was established in the original Fist of the North Star run by Kasumi's Kenshiro's nephew, Kenshiro, this just solidifies its existence as a standard Hokuto Shinken technique.
Precognition or Instinctive Reaction: Ken describes a technique that counters a technique that focuses on dodging attacks via subconscious reflexes.
Can "smell" murderous intent. Does it agai
Resistance to Ki Manipulation: Ken resists having his energy pulled out. Also reversed the flow of Ki to push back Lin-Wang's (also known as Máng Kuángyún) arm.
Heat Resistance: Ken could easily fight aboard a burning ship with no problem, a weaker Hokuto student easily withstood high flames (see below)
Knows a technique that easily lets him hold his breath for at least 10 minutes. It is an essential technique for all schools of Hokuto, so should apply to all Hokuto users.
Possible Death Manipulation or Biological Manipulation: Basically causes a guy to die by activating pressure points that had been tapped a day before. He comes back to life after he stops. All Hokuto Shinken users are regarded as "Gods of Death"
Resistance to Clairvoyance/ Low level Precognition:
The Taoist states that he cannot read Ken's destiny, and that it is because he has the ability to change his fate because he is a man of Hokuto. The Taoist then gives Ken a coin, stating that chance and wishing can allow one to change their destiny. He then shows off his status as "the wise old man" of the series by basically telling Ken that he knows of his status as a man of Hokuto, even though they just met.
The Taoist also makes several appearances (so far into my reading at least) and every time, regardless of who he's talking to, he always seems to have an eerily high amount of knowledge and understanding of what's going on (understanding the importance of the stars in relation to destiny and Hokuto arts, instantly knowing everything about a person only having just met them, granting people's wishes (extended Ling-Wangs life/destiny), having a ghost like presence (he can only be seen by certain people, Ken talked to him in a bar, and the bartender didn't even see him, despite the fact that he was sitting right in front of him, can bypass master martial artists defenses and render them immobile with a touch, Ken often wonders if he's even real) and can predict people's "journey of fate" (predicted Ling Wang's death, sensed Yu-Ling's death/destiny).
He is definitely well informed in the ways of fate reading and mysticism, so he clearly knows what he's talking about.
Hokuto Sonkaken users should get:
Ki Manipulation: Kenshiro describes the martial art as the art of ki manipulation
Lin-Wang (Máng Kuángyún) uses it to channel energy out of Kenshiro and weaken him. Also doubles as Power Nullification?
Blast's Kenshiro with a wave of ki
Telekinesis(?): Lin-Wang (Máng Kuángyún) uses his ki manipulation to drag a guy's brains out of his head, without breaking ski
Bends utensils without touching them
Twists and shatters a sword without touching it
Colonel De Giese, another master of Hokuto Sonkake, curves a bullet midair
Sleep Manipulation: Lin-Wang (Máng Kuángyún) uses his ki manipulation to put a guy to sleep
Resistance to Pressure Point Attacks and Body Control: Lin-Wang (Máng Kuángyún) changes the shape of his skull and explains that Hokuto Sonkaken allows him to control his own pressure points
Ken theorizes that Lin transforms his real body, and even causes his scent to change. Ken is a rather educated man (he can read, memorize and copy entire books in seconds, knows several languages, knows dozens of poisons, is a university professor and has a photographic memory), and his sense of smell is phenomenal]
Explanation of the pressure point transportation technique
Ken tries and fails to hit Lin's pressure points
Kuang-Yun's master attempts to erase his memory via pressure points, it doesn't go well. At all
However, a major weakness to the Pressure Point Transference technique is that there are pressure points that are simply fixed in place
Another explanation of the weakness
Memory Manipulation: Kuang-Yun erases Yu-Ling's memories of Kenshiro (a repeating action in the Hokutoverde) Kuang's master was also gonna erase his memory.
Hokuto Sokaken users should get:
Mind Control: Zhang Tai-Yan uses a technique to turn a ma into his puppet. The mind controlled guy tries to assassinate Giese agonist his will
Telekinesis:
Can do this with his arms
Possibly Matter Manipulation: Did this to a guy, notice how only his body was vaporized/disintegrated. His clothes are fine
Precognition or Instinctive Reaction: Same reason as Ken above, though slight different, focused on Kiken (read scans)
Heat Resistance: A weaker Hokuto student could withstand high flames for an extended period of times. Only died due to self inflicted wounds
Keep in mind folks that I'm only on chapter 115. There are 260 chapters in total, so I'm bound to get more stuff.

- slightly NSFW* Tai-Yan deflects the barrel of a gu with just his energy
Can do this with his arms
