The Story of Shen Woo - KOF Lore
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 мар 2021
- Arguably one of the best new characters introduced in the Tales of Ash saga, Shen Woo managed to become a fan favorite, especially in KOF XIII, thanks to his easy on the eye design and simple but effective play style. These are features that can easily make someone the main protagonist in other anime based productions.

I feel that the ash saga in itself is just underrated and has a lot of characters that need to return in kof15.
But his design is probably the best part.
It's simple yet effective.
New faces team!
I agree.
Shen's design is great
Small trivia: Iori's alternative costume in the Maximum Impact series is based on Shen's design.
I think if it was longer it could have been crafted a little bit better specially to introduce more of the followers of Saiki and see how they play and their role, most of them are like there and then gone before we could invest some time with them.
Agreed. Shen and Duo Lon need more screentime
Man I remember when 2003 first droppd.
Back in the arcades when my town first got 2k3, I saw a bunch of guys crowding around the cabinet. Running old classic teams of familiar characters but none of the new characters, when I finally got my turn to play(I've been a big fan of Kof games all the way back from 96), I picked Kyo, Shen and Clark. I put about 8 straight wins on the board before I got beat. After walking around the arcade for a bit, I came back to the 2k3 cab and noticed that Shen was on everyone's team after I played him.
One of my proudest moments as a kid. Shen was so cool man, kind of like a Yamazaki without the Orochi influence.
Man, that’s an awesome story!
Ah yes. Our very own One Punch Man of KOF
A pipe dream of mine's is him getting his own saga, aka him being the main character.
yep, huge potential indeed 🤓👍🏻
And my pipe dream is seeing him in a Yakuza game, as a crossover character. Come on, SNK + Sega, make it happen! He obviously fits!😤
@@SeymoreSparda #SNK × #SEGA
I Hope Yashiro Is His Rival XD
@@SeymoreSparda he would put up a good fight against kiryu and co
I honestly can’t tell if the extreme simplicity of his character is a strength or weakness from a writing perspective but I love this guy’s vibe overall
Right.
Shoryu: "Since his young age, he's been a hyperactive kid. And by that I mean an extremely brutal and violent boy."
Also Shoryu: *Shows a picture of Bakugo*
Meh, I'm not into that Superhero Crap, (with the Exception of DC Animations, they were Awesome),
I'm only into Action, Adventure, Medieval/Historical Fantasy and finally Martial Arts (sometimes Mecha),
Not into that Thriller, Slice of Life, Harem or even Isekai crap, ain't my Style. (With the Exception of Death Note, SAO and Highschool of the Dead, those were Classics)
@@joseurbina3835 'I am into that Superhero crap.."
Also, yeah I love Highschool of the dead too
@@meganinten0078 Thanks for reminding me Buddy,
"Highschool of the Dead" was Awesome and a good guilty pleasure series to Watch and Read, (it's what got me to loving Zombies again)
It's sad the Author of the HOTD series is Dead now.
@@joseurbina3835Hello Jose.
Yeah, it is sad what happened to the mangaka.
HOTD is the manga that made me like ecchi.
Ecchi and violence good combination.
(Shizuka is my waifu 😉)
@@meganinten0078 Man of Culture, I see. 😎
Shen Woo, one of the few original male characters in the Ash saga who doesn''t look too feminine.
Small trivia: Iori's alternative costume in the Maximum Impact series is based on Shen's design.
In his Another E costume Iori cosplays as Shen!
6:22 Brilliant hitbox logic
I just love Shen Woo's design from his attire to his moveset I loved playing him in Kof 11 and Kof 13 he was such a badass I hope he returns in Kof 15 plus thank you for this video.
I'd like to see Shen with Duo Lon and Lin as a "team china" of sorts or alternatively on some sort of team with Yamazaki in XV because they've only been in one game together but i feel like they'd have good or at least funny interactions both having similar backgrounds.
That would be fuckin awesome dood
@@kazumayoshikaze2898 Wonder if we will ever see Ron again, would love for Lin and Duo to team up
Cant wait to see him back in XV along with Duo Lon
We'll have to wait until the *Dragon Spirits* plotline is Concluded....
Oh wait, that plotline was never resolved for 20 years, well never mind.
He'll probably be with ash and Elizabeth, instead of Duo Lon.
@@joseurbina3835 I think it was technically resolved off-screen, in-between games lmao
@@claybfx It Wasn't
@@claybfx Actually If Anything More Questions Have Come
Oswald's thoughts: Shen has great strength, I must be quick and finish him before he hits me, I should bait him by throwing him a card and then...
Shen's thoughts: PUNCH! PUNCH! PUNCH!
Been waiting for this indeed, thank you! Remembered reading from one of the earlier iOS KOF apps that he managed to beat up a whole restaurant reserved for a gang leader’s birthday, but I could no longer find that story.
Didn't expect Shen to get his own lore video, but I'm glad he did! Great stuff!!
I haven’t seen Shen Woo for a long time I Want Ash Crimson Duo Lon and Shen Woo to Return in The King of Fighters XV
Ash is probably going to be Teaming up with Elizabeth and Kukri in KOFXV so that's very much unlikely,
I do think Shen Woo and Duo Lon could Team up again but I actually want Duo to team up with Lin and the 3rd Member from they're Clan (Xiao Lon) for the *"Dragons Spirits"* storyline,
I think Shen needs to actually form his own Team with anyone to match his Fighting Style, like 2 other Street Brawlers like him.
@@joseurbina3835 will Rugal Bernstein Geese Howard Krizalid Clone Zero Original Zero Igniz Goenitz Orochi Orochi Iori Orochi Leona Orochi Chris Orochi Shermie and Orochi Yashiro return in The King of Fighters XV
@@joseurbina3835 So you are saying he should Team up with Yamazaki and Oswald?
@@tnmblonewolf8799 That's pretty much likely to be Honest, it's not that out of Character for Yamazaki to be Teaming Up with the Unlikely Alliance with Shen and Oswald,
He once Teamed up with Blue Mary and Billy Kane in 97, and he also Teamed up with Billy again only this Time it's Gato which are also Unlikely Alliances.
Shen Woo could show up on KoF XV
finally i was waiting for this
I think you forgot to mention the fact that Ikaris Team had encounter Team Hero in Kof 2003. Since the Ikaris Team won, I would like to see how the fight went on. It's almost certain that Ralf fought against Shen Woo. I would like to see how the 2 brawlers fight with their immense strength and mighty punches. It would be a hell of bloody fight for sure
Thanks for covering Shen! I really like how despite being a rough brawler and an attitude, Shen actually has a sense of respect for the people he meet. Easily one of the coolest things about him is how his ultimate move in KOF13 gave him a power boost. It would be cool to seem him in a future game, maybe in KOF15 perhaps!
I like characters like Shen who doesn't need a deep backstory to be likeable.
Although by his actions, Shen is more like an anti hero.
I am still mad of how KOF XIII eliminated almost all the characters from the Ash saga (2003-XI) to bring back the classic teams from KOF 94 and 96
At least Shen was one of the few who managed to appear in XIII
I think bringing Takuma back in KOFXIII was the right thing, same goes for Leona because she's a Fan Favorite,
Hwa Jai and Raiden were a surprise and great choices for they're 1st Debut in KOFXIII since the Fatal Fury times.
Although I am very confused to why was Billy Kane a Solo Entry in KOFXIII,
While Adelheid and Geese were scraped Originally supposed to be KOFXIII, but they were cut do to Time constraints,
Here's my Theory, was Billy Originally supposed to Team up with Adelheid and Geese in KOFXIII?
@@joseurbina3835 I am sorry but I disagree.
I was really happy to not see the popular faces all the time.
That is why I didn't have an issue to not seeing King in the Women Team in KOF 2002
The roster of KOF XI is great!
Whip instead of Leona.
Jenet instead of Mai.
Gato instead of Takuma.
Vice and Mature were really unnecessary in KOF XIII
The plot of the Ash saga really suffered because of the decision of bring back the classic faces/teams.
@@joseurbina3835 That is a good theory 🤔
Human Saiki and Mr. Karate were a waste of money, they must have brought Adelheid and Geese instead.
You've got some terrible hot takes. "Jenet instead of mai". There was a massive uproar when mai wasn't present in that game. People were not happy about a beloved franchise veteran being canned for an obscure character with a small fanbase. Rosters make or break fighting games, you have to pick fan favourites or people will not buy your game, this has been proven time and time again.
Man i hope they will bring Shen woo back to the KOF15, i really love his fighting style and he is one of my fav character
Shen was my main in 13 along with iori and kim I hope he returns in 15
I did not expect this but I'm intrigued.
great video as always. i hope you'll cover Oswald's story in the future.
Hope my boy Shen makes it to XV. Love the tales of ash characters
One of my favorite characters from the Ash saga, great video!!👍👍
Amazing video Shoryu
I hope you create the story of Duo Lon next time! Also your video is still catchy for some details of each characters in KOF by learning about it! Kudos to you man!
Speaking of shen woos team .... Future idea....
How about a hizoku clan video about Lin duo long and thier dad ron
All thier individual stories together to keep the vid over 2 mins lol
Good idea.
I hope he mentions Xiao Lon.
Despite only appearing in one game, she has a lot of potential.
Lin trained her after all
Nice to see you are back in the lore!
Shen would be a very acceptable protagonist for saga.
7:45
I'm very impressed! Wow!
I would definitely make *Shen Woo* as my New Main if he will ever makes a Comeback in the Upcoming KOFXV,
Although the "Ash Saga" is not my favorite Storyline in the KOF series, but it does have some really great Characters for its time.
Edit: Since *Ash Crimson* is now back from the Dead, it's likely possible that *Shen Woo* would make his return in as either in the Base Roster for KOFXV.
Also my favorite KOF Sagas are:
#1 Orochi Saga
#2 Maximum Impact Saga
#3 NESTS Saga
I agree.
Most of characters from the Ash saga are great and underrated.
It is a shame many of the characters and teams didn't appear in KOF XI
My favorites KOF sagas are
#1 NESTS Saga.
#2 Orochi Saga
#3 Maximum Impact Saga (only because it doesn't have a finale 😢)
Small trivia.
Iori's alternative costume in the Maximum Impact series is based on Shen.
I do hope Shen returns alongside Lin, Duo Lon, and Eiji
Even Lin Would Honestly
YES I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS!
I hope he team up with Shun'ei and Meitenkun someday so they can be Team China. Since he has a basic control over ki energy, maybe Shun'ei and Meitenkun or even Tung Fu Rue himself can help him to learn even more for his attacks.
Nice, he is back with another interesting lore
Man, I have no idea why, but I could not use this character to save my life! I think it was that awkward movement he had? I dunno, but I'm willing to give him another try. Thanks Shoryu!
ooo, i almost forgot this character. btw great video as always, keep it up
Thanks!
Shen , Duo Lon and Oswald Must be in KOF XV insha'Allah
Great video
Thanks!
My kof 13 main and possibly my favorite character of the ash saga
Everything about shen is simple but that’s part of the reason he is such an awesome character to me. From his combos to his design to his personality he gets very far off of very very little
Interesting man, i always liked Shen Woo. I hope to see him in KOF XV
I hope he comes back to kof xv in a team with duo lon and oswald.
Or a team with Duo long and his brother Lin and idk.. Someone else maybe shen woo for fun lol
Continue the story of Lin and duo long looking for thier father and maybe make him a mid boss for them
Just some quick suggestion lol
good to see someone else agrees with me on this team order
What about Ash Crimson
@@joshualedesmasegovia I think he'll most likely team up with Elizabeth and Kukri.
@@Heidern.. glad to see that someone other than me wants lin to come back.
Awesome vid totally awesome rugged character contrary to his flamboyant teammate Ash Crimson, can you do Elisabeth Blanctorche next?!?! One of my favorites from Those From The Past arc!! I want all these characters to return for KOF15 Ash Crimson(a total MUST Official Invitation Neo NESTS team ending hinted this and he’s a fan favorite), Elisabeth Blanctorche(same ending she appears with a vital presence so it seems so I am betting on her to return), Shen Woo, Oswald and Duo Lon such klassik characters I can see why people were disappointed for KOF14 aside from Oswald being DLC now I LOVE 14 but something did felt missing with how amazing 13 was!!
I like Shen's design and character, his gameplay though like you said like Ralph which is one reason I'll rather pick Ralph than him and his very simple high damage, poking and guard crushes.
I only played Kof 14 but Shen Woo seems like a cool character hope he makes it in to KOF 15 and KOF All stars same for Duo Lon
Kof XV announced: His feared reputation and iron fists know no equal. Make way for Shanghai's God of War. *Shen Woo*
Shen:Omae nara manzoku deki souda!
Elisabeth's team in KOF 13 was one of the strongest designs in that whole game.
Such a shame that Liz' herself has one of the most tragically unappealing movesets in all of KOF history.
I didn't know shen woo story thx for telling
Awesome
I LOVE YOU please do momoko, Oswald one day or maybe sorrie and alba.
I was surprised by the vid, thanks for talking about one of my faves. Think he'll be back in 15 with Oswald?
I hope so!
Yall ever notice how he looks like Shen Long from Bloody Roar 3?
Shenlong came first tho
Shen's probably my favorite character in KOF, he still wears the same clothes since 2003 to XIII, I do want to see him in KOF Allstar or in XV.
*Looks at runtime*
Me: I guess there isn't much to know about Shen?
*Watches video*
Me: I was wrong.
Shoryu Can you do Rock Horward
Can you please make one of these two top 10:
1.kof spin off characters
2.kof opening/intro
Shen woo is old mc hero type who people cant hate for whatever reason.
When was he a hero?
@@CombatSportsNerd hm? That how old type hero doing.making friend with fist .no need word. Rival everyone.
@@ashchisalleh1454
Yeah but he’s not out here trying to save or redeem anyone. Shen’s just out here trying to fight strong guys. He’s not really a hero. I feel like if he was just another do gooder doing heroic stuff for just cuz people wouldn’t have liked him as much. He’s popular in part because he isn’t a boring Boy Scout.
@@CombatSportsNerd he not. He just type of guy which stay by you side when you need it. He not bound by thinking I help people so I am hero, he just type of guy doing what must be done. That why he can friends with suspicious character as ash and young master of assassin clan. Heck he have best friend trait most, it like how benimaru and kyo behave. Nothing wrong with fight strong guy. That just what majority man think . Except he enjoy the fight.
Hero don't tell everyone they do good thing . They do for themselves.
@@CombatSportsNerd Kyo Kusanagi isn't exactly a boy scout and neither is K'
Nice
Thanks
I think his animations in his 2003/XI sprite look better then the ones from his XIII sprite ( without taking into account the hd quality of this sprite ), if he shows up in XV i hope they use the older one as inspiration
Him an Ralph should hang out.
Benimaru + Shen Woo + Meitenkun: Team Lancer
(Maxima's not here because he's mandated by law to be on Team K')
Can you pls make a lore about about heidern
I would love to see shen woo come back in KOF 15
Shen and k are my fav charcters
Great video as always mate!! By the way what is the outro song?
Check the description!
@@ShoryuGame Thanks mate!!! Appreciate your reponse a lot!!
I really like kof 2003 I was able to learn to play as ash crimson duo long and shen
Can You Do A Lore About Diana Next.
Kula's Adopted Mother.
I want Shen, Oswald and Duo Long on a team for XV
Even though I've watched the tales of ash saga and I'm just from watching this video, I still have some questions concerning that Ash kid, like : where did he get his green flames ? How come he was capable of stealing Chizuru and Iori's powers ? I mean they are not just simple powers, they are the SACRED TREASURES. Normally ONLY the descendants of the respective clans must be able to use their respective treasures. But no that's not the case and I wonder why. I think it'll be nice if you made a video on the story of Ash Crimson and maybe my questions will be finally answered. What do you think ?
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll consider your request!
@@ShoryuGame Big thanks
Shen was not over yet of his career to seize off ash in the next kof.. but i want him and alba crossed and asking whos the real boss is..
Can you do Oswald?
I wonder if this guy also nest since well...
We never see his take off his clove
N also flame
He needs to return in KOF XV!
Yashiro is back my son
Love it! Okay, soooo... DUCK KING NEXT!!! :-D
Amazing bro which flame is strong Kyo iori Ash or K?
I made a video answering that question; Top ten fire users.
btw, what other game's story u r gonna make video about? ever thought about Gulty Gear? it's getting hype.
I would wanna know the lore behind it.
Thanks for the suggestion.
@@ShoryuGame ooh, & also street fighter
Pink.Man.Must.Punch.
I FUCKIN LOVE SHEN, HE BETTER COME BACK IN KOF 15 I SWEAR. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I HONESTLY THOUGHT THAT SHEN KILLED OSWALD IN 11
I would like to see him back in XV 👍
The Story Of Oswald please
him, oswald and duo, i would like to see them in 15.
hopefully he will be back for XV
Wish Shen makes to KOFXV!
Shen for KOF XV.
Nevermind, i don't use it or shows interesting for the character, but he is functional.
WHERE IS MAI
Can't unseen smol Shen is Bakugou
I hope Oswald is present in XV🙏
I hope he returns in XV
Make video on kim, takuma, mai plz
I already did one for Kim.
@@ShoryuGame ...but could you do a second one 🤔
Shen it's a good character
1:09 Thank you ShoryuGame, for remind me of that guy 🙄
I really dislike Bakugo.
2:32 (Pause the video)
Hahahahahaha! 😆
I am sorry but these guys are not heroes
4:53 Such a nice 'friend' Ash Crimson is.
I dislike that jerk
@Noel T. Lat It Was The Great Mukai XD

Hope you liked my idea!!!
Lots of love for you from me SyoryuGame!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
So sad that they forgot about Shen he doesn't appear in the KOF Allstar and KOF XV almost out but no sign of Shen gonna be feature
Look at ash's ending
Well...
Like a ryu
For me, Shen Woo is more appropriate to be the Hero / Leader instead of Ash... It's my personal opinion, that the Androgynous Theme (Ash, Saiki and Shion) doesn't fit the KOF character design properly :(
Shen is the miguel of kof
Shen Came First Bruh
@@ragingningen6318 yea i figured that, i was stating the similarities is saw

B Jenet lore?
