Are they still planning to make it so that you get to choose his fighting styles? The only reason I am asking is cause since e3 we've heard nothing about this. In every vid we have seen Shujinko in, he has had Mantis and Shaolin Fist(Sp?) and Some weird looking sword. I'm wondering if they changed their mind about him and made his fighting styles locked in, but you can give him a boat load of special moves. I REALLY hope this is not the case. As this would be a very big disappointment. Like I said, I only have this concern because of there being no mention of it since e3 and the fact that he has been seen with NO other styles in the vids. In the Gamer's day vid, Boon talks in detail about Shujinko, but only to the effect that he's an unlockable character that will have secret cloned specials of other fighters.

If this does turn out to be the case I am gonna be a bit pissed off. I've been looking forward to giving Shujinko fighting styles of my choosing, as was promised about him in the beginning. Do you think it proved to difficult for them to be able to make branches out of every possible style combination? SO they scraped the idea? Does anyone know about this for a fact?

That's probably what he learned up to that point.

I really hope so. I don't know..I guess it's just a little weird that nothing else has been mentioned about that aspect, while EVERYTHING else has been repeated to death, ya know?

I noticed too!!!! He's using the same weapon he was using as an adult... I'm starting to think the only thing u can really costumize about him are special moves... and to tell the truth... I'm not too optimistic on the fighting style choosing...

Exactly what I thought...though I am REALLY hoping I'm dead wrong..and when the game comes out you will be able to equip him with the fighting styles of your choosing.

My thoughts on this matter is that once finished with Konquest Mode, Shujinko will becomed unlocked and he will have set, unchangable fighting styles, with set, unchangable special moves (from an assortment of characters). It kinda sucks, I was hoping for a customizble Shujinko :(
Oh well. I pray that I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

WEll... now that I actually think about it... in the interview with the blond girl... Boon said that when you are done with konquest u unlock shujinkoin arcade... and then he said THEN u could costumize him... That's what I understood... so maybe it's just a way to keep you playing konquest...

Most likely nothing will happen except you unlock him with set moves. They seemed to be headed the way of making your own set of moves at first, and now pulled a 180. I think Konquest mode will be for unlocking characters and arenas. Not making up a character. I was hoping to make an ultimate MK fighter, that now looks like it won't happen.
I hope that if this is the case, the next game changes that.

He's supposed to be customizable in his movesets. I know Boon said that.

Hmm yea some good points.

You may only be able to unlock certain fighting styles at certain points of Konquest, and to add reply value, u may only be able to lock 2 styles per 1 completion if that makes sense...I dunno but Id hate to NOT have a customizable Shujinko, cos thats one of the features Im actually lookin 4ward to the most.

Beatin arcade with MY guy and MY fightin styles, Grrrrrr...

bo roi cho trained kung lou, so i am not surprized to see that he starts out with his styles.

sujinko is still young in that clip, he probly learns more along the way.

I am hoping Shujinko will have his styles customisable. This was one of the things that made him interesting and if they're planning on giving him loads of special moves to compensate for locked styles, then I think it sucks.

They did say his styles would be customisable and they should keep it that way. Part of Konquest would be to gain familiarity with these styles and Shujinko should learn all of them and then you choose the ones you want at the end. I'm sure they will have found a way to link of the styles in branchers as they were testing the styles mixed up on everyone else. We'll just have to wait and see.
