VF5 Shun Di Thread

SHU's blog, with videos

To translate the page, go to Babelfish and enter the url above, and tell it to translate Japanese to English before hitting "Translate." I'm thinking that the translated page is painful to decipher, even in english, because they're using some type of webspeak...

Also, you'll need a DivX player thing to view the videos, but the videos link you to them automatically (at least, it did that for me).

I gotta thank gregor_thewolf for pointing me out to the site. Thanks a bunch man /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif Now, go learn from the master, people /versus/images/graemlins/cool.gif

 

Yo, this is DancingFighterG. Hello, I'm new to the Vf world. I've played this game in the past but no one around me really wanted to take the game to the next level so I decided to stop but now since this game will be out for the Ps3 I think this game will be the premier fighter on the PS3. I love Shun and I'm starting to learn him in Vf4 again. I love seeing all these new things that he has so I'm definitly excited for this game.

 

Hey DancingFighterG

Shun is mad strong in VF5. You'll enjoy using him. He's much better than in VF4. Just stick with him, even if it gets frustrating. Ask around if you need help on tactics and move execution. Good luck /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

Yo, this is DancingFighterG. Thanks man!!

 

Yo, this is DancingFighterG. I LOVE THIS CHARACTER. I just finished watching a lot of Shun video and I must say I know he was good but not this good. The fun factor alone makes him so good to play. The mix up game is amazing. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THIS GAME COMES OUT ON PS3. ALL I SEE IN MY GAMING FUTURE IS:

VF5
Soul Calibur 3
GGXX Accent Core

The end!! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

I want to thank everyone in this thread for contributing.
Shun is my favorite character in VF4/VF4evo and I can't wait to learn his new stuff and start practicing hehe.

I'm glad to hear that Shun is even deadlyer in VF5. Makes me even more pumped up for February 20th

 

I was working for Sega during the period of of VF > VF2 and again during the DC days... So out of all the fighters VF is the most dear to me, yes even more than *GASP* street fighter. Blasphemy I know... I personally have always loved Shun Di, it sparked so much interest in me in Kung Fu that I left the japanese Martial Arts and began a new life in chinese martial arts. Even though his drunken is not the actually Drunken Style more built off of jackies hollywood exhonoration of it, he is still one of the best characters IMHO. Now that hes stronger I cant wait to play with him again in the New Game... Dunno if I'll get another PS3 anytime soon, because right now its not really worth it other than for resistance and VF, but now that VF's on point for 360 I'll prolly wait.

On a side note i cant wait to, as my buddy Jack Tu says, 'go monkey' and also mess with some lucha libre.

I've updated the first post in this thread for possibly the last time. Check it out if you're curious about Shun!

 

This is an awesome thread. Thanks a lot to Ladon and all the other contributors for creating this mini-faq on one of the best things about Shun (and one of the best things added to VF5 in general).

I'll be reading it over and over and over again for the weeks to come.

/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif I find is a great way to squeeze in drinks. It's also good against the bigger characters like Wolf and Jeffery that bring you down. Their range seems to get the best of you but the attack in particular is a great counter against some striking moves if you get it in early enough. Finally it doesn't leave you in a throw position like say an attack like /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif does if it's blocked. It's a great defensive attack if used right.
