Like Haohmaru, just about every Japanese fighting game has someone based on Miyamoto Musashi. Ryu, Mitsurugi, etc...

I don't know I'd put Ryu into that category - he's not enough of a wild man, although he certainly shares the model of the wandering Japanese spiritual warrior. He's more of a conglomerated archetype of Funakoshi's ideals.

I just wish that someone would make a fighting game character based on the Chinese folk hero, Wong Fei Hung...

Like JB said, Lee from Last Blade is pretty much him - he even looks alot like Jet Li, although his personality's a bit different. I'm quite sure you could dig up others if you look around.

As for the "evil" characters, they're in there to boost the # of characters without having to increase memory a ton. They may well have maxed out the cart even with the new chip (I don;t know how big it is off the top of my head).

Yet another reason they need to drop that ancient MVS hardware and program on something more current... hopefully this will finally be done with "Samurai Spirits Zero"

Don't get me wrong, the MVS system was good but it's just holding games back now... but for it's time MVS was great

Don't worry, I'm not getting you wrong. I'm currently putting together a crack squad of mercenaries and grifters to bust into playmore and destroy every Neo Geo dev kit in existance. All I have left to get is a tunnel rat and a totally hot Mai cosplayer to distract the security guards.

JBNagis: Yeah when life gives ya lemons ... you make lemonade. Be a fountain and not a drain.

I know Chaos sounds like it sucks, but I still can't wait for it. Kensou aka Punk Kidd, would rule. He's my man; my dogg if you will. I just despised the way they dumbed him down in the last KOF or was it CvS2? I forget. BUT DAMN IT ... I WANT SAISHU AND DUCK KING!

True, but Master Funakoshi was far more secular than Ryu. Musashi spent much of his life living in a cave. I can see Ryu doing something like that...

All right!

SvC is finally out! (Both Stateside and Japan)

Anyway, here's (yet another) shot of Dan. He's actually challenging this time around!

You are correct sir -- his design is based largely on Jet Li's portrayal of this real-life Chinese Robin Hood...before Li, he was played by the late Kwan Tak Hing, who's Wong Fei Hung series is one of the longest running in history...he did an awesome film late in life with Sammo Hung, called Skyhawk...Seen Iron Monkey? That little kid was also Fei Hung, and his father Wong Kei Ying was played by Donnie Yen...
Wong Fei Hung is one of the most popular Chinese folk heroes along with Fong Sai Yuk (also played by Jet Li and others of course) and Hung Hei Kwoon (also played by Jet Li)...
