I always found it interesting the connections that Shenmue games have with Virtua Fighter games, many fans know that the big reason for this was that before the name was Virtua Fighter RPG.
I know that we have on the Dojo threads to talk about the chapter concept arts but i’m creating this thread to talk about every connection with Virtua Fighter, the connections are Characters, places, moves and much more.
Maybe some people will think that i’m taking the connections too seriously, i know a lot of things changed since the chapter concept arts but in my opinion it is fun to look at this connections.
Before the main character was not Ryo, the main character of the story was Akira but i always love thinking that Ryo is a younger version of Akira, Ryo even learns Akira moves and this is beautiful.
One of these days i was looking to the character selection screen of the first Virtua Fighter, i was looking about the Akira’s informations, and one thing in particular caught my attention.
"Job Kung Fu Teacher"
I immediately thought that maybe this is what will happen with Ryo in the ending, maybe in the ending he decides to be a Kung Fu Teacher, he will come back to Japan and take care of the Dojo, on the Dojo he will be a Kung Fu Teacher, or maybe he will be a Kung Fu Teacher in China or other place, this is a interesting ending for Ryo, he will finally understand the last words of his father, he will be close to his friends and loved ones and he will teach Kung Fu, Fuku-san can help him with this, it is interesting and possible, i will really like if this is Ryo’s ending in the story.
SPOILER ALERT
I will talk about one thing that happened in Shenmue III
One of the things i love about Shenmue III is that Ryo learned 2 moves of Akira, he learned the Body Check and the Reverse Body Check, in Virtua Fighter the names of the moves are Youshin Senrin and Kouzanheki, this connection is beautiful, i love that Ryo learn Akira moves.
In Virtua Fighter - Youshi Senrin
In Shenmue III - Body Check
In Virtua Fighter - Kouzanheki
In Shenmue III - Reverse Body Check
