[edit] History
[edit] Samurai Shodown
Hailing from a powerful and notable family that resides in China, Wan Fu is the general of the Qing Dynasty. With his cunning battle strategies and powerful army, Wan Fu seeks to unify all of China. To this end, he searches for worthy recruits to his army, and hearing of particularly "powerful warriors", sets out to find them.
[edit] Samurai Shodown 2
Unable to find "powerful warriors," a prophet appears before the furious Wanfu and informs him of the existence of the "Seed of Destruction," which, in exchange for one's soul, can allow one to rule the world. Determined to find it all costs, as his hope of uniting China would no longer be a mere dream, so he leaves his homeland to obtain it. Wan Fu's status after SS2 is unknown.
[edit] Trivia
- He is the only character to change weapons in the series beginning with a scimitar, then a "slab of rock" (a rock pillar) for training purposes as he admitted being out of shape in SS2, and in his return in Tenka, a Chinese War Hammer.
- In SS2, Wan Fu gains a peculiar new special move dubbed the Benpatsu Attack (meaning?). In this move, he slams his pillar into his face, receiving some minor damage. The true "use" of this move can be seen as it builds up his POW meter completely with one use, allowing him access to his supermove (or just a considerable attack boost) immediately after.
- In one special move, and his supermove, Wan Fu flings his weapon into the opponent in a blast of fire. He is the only character in the series to use his weapon in such a careless way, putting him in "unarmed mode" after each use (at least Cham Cham's boomerang returns to her).
