Liu Yunfei
(LAST UPDATE: 11/15/2010)


 

GENERAL/STORY:

Liu Yunfei lived at one point in 800 A.D. with his wife. Desiring to gain more power, he made a deal with a being calling himself "The Dark Emperor" and apparently becomes immortal due to an evil entity. However, he went insane and berserk until he was sealed in a boulder by his students, Enja and Suija. A millennium later, he is freed due to the entity leaving him to possess someone else. Wanting to redeem himself, he tracks down the entity's source with intents to exorcise it. In his ending, the entity is found in Gaoh and it begins to overwhelm its host. In order to help Gaoh, Yunfei takes possession of the monster's body and urges the free Gaoh to slay the demon. He is struck down and is reunited with his wife (presumably in heaven).

Yunfei takes most of his mannerisms from typical wuxia traits. Parallel to other wuxia borrowing some elements from real-life martial arts, his fighting style is a rough deviation of the Wing Chun martial arts. He also possesses the ability to fly.

REVIEW:
He looks like a character right out of a classic Chinese kung fu flick... and he's even got all the "high flying" moves to back it up. He's a unique type of character to the Samurai Shodown series and represents the Chinese broadsword rather well, but in my opinion his animations and overall move-set could've been done better. He's slightly uninspiring as a design, considering the original cast of the series.
