Cursed Mountain footage http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3...mountain/51083

Augh, i am not clicking that because i know that it is the mountain you can see from your back yard. Why do i want to see that? It is not a game.

Jesus Christ. Did you listen to the part about having no weapons because you could "attack" with gestures during Buddhist prayers? Interest -10,000,000

The guy in the interview mangles the term but they're called mudras, and they make sense as a way to battle ghosts.

They're kind of badass, imo:



I think the game looks pretty decent.

Oh Yoshi, you are on a journey to Silius!

Truth, at least for the GC one (I haven't played the GBA one). And Cursed Mountain's pretty nice looking for a Wii game.

I watched the whole video and never heard mudras mentioned. I will hold my cynicism until I see more gameplay I guess.

Watch the hands, man! There are much better examples but I can't find anything relevant on youtube, unless you'd just like to see them in regular everyday prayer use rather than fighting anything mystical.

The moral of the story being, you need to watch more kung fu movies.

EDIT: just had a thought - ninjas and shugenja do them, if you've ever played DOA3, Ryu Hayabusa does the kuji-no-in mudra sequence with his hands as a win pose saying the name of each one, "rin pyo to sha kai jin retsu zai zen".

Can't find the clip from the game, but this is the sequence:



They all have different symbolic meanings, the practitioner is supposed to hold the image in their mind summoning up the power of that image - a sheathed sword, a mountain etc. In some forms of mysticism, different sequences result in different spells. In Buddhism they're generally used to generate a specific energy or state of mind.
