The Story Of Shingo Yabuki - KOF Lore

Shingo Yabuki, A.K.A the goof ball of the King Of Fighters franchise, was originally designed to tone down a little bit the serious and dark mood of the game where he was first introduced, KOF 97. But unexpectedly, he ended up being loved so much by many of the fans, that he became a requiring character and an essential fighter within the KOF roster.
In this video, we'll expose everything we know about Shingo, and we'll know if he is just a comic foil to Kyo Kusanagi, or if there is more to him that we didn't know before.

[@tarodeculture]

Of all the pupil joke characters I see in fighting games, Shingo is my favorite one. His martial arts are not perfect, but you can see that he tries hard. He is pretty significant in the story as well and is also a hero in a way. If Kyo chooses to remain with Beinmaru and Daimon in XV, then maybe Shingo can team up with Chizuru for helping him with his medical bills. Doing a vote on which character you should do next huh...I did say the Bernstein family in a previous video. However, after playing through some KoF games and watching KoF Destiny, there is one character who is relevant in every KoF who I think deserves some much needed attention. In terms of design, gameplay, lore, and the many connections he has with various characters in the series, my one favorite KoF character that I would like you to make a video about would be none other than the Ikari commander himself: Heidern.

[@shinzankuro]

Definitely agree about Shingo making a team with Chizuru. She's one of the very few characters who really believes in his potential and have genuine faith at him. Also she acts like a second mother for Shingo after the all shit both of them has suffered during 2003 and further events

I would love for Shingo to come back soon, and actually gain a power.

I like characters like him, because while he's comic relief, he's not made bad by any means, and managed to find some real potential despite being a goof.

I think Shingo have a lot of potential, and he should just give up on creating flames from his hands and just accept that he himself is unique and tries to train hard to improvise the skills that Kyo and Saisyu taught him.

[@xandert8527]

Honestly, Shingo's moves could be implemented in KOF XV, and it would make sense if a few of his moves changed, because he may have been studying Kyo's moves while resting. Most of Shingo's super special moves have evolved. Case in point, Burning Shingo(Moero Shingo). At first, it was a mix of Shingo's Aragami and Gettchu move, along with a few strong attacks, until becoming more and more of a Final Showdown-esque move, as shown in KOF 2003 as well as KOF 2002 Unlimited Match. The Desperation move version could be the version with just a mix of Aragamis and Dokugamis. The Super Deperation move version could be the one in 2001 and Unlimited match. The MAX Special move could be a spinoff of Kyo's special in XIV, but there are multiple candidates for this spot. They are as follows: The "Shingo's My Way Maimer"(KOF 2003-KOF XI;double qcf + BD): this is a super version of Shingo's reverse dragon punch move. In some circumstances, you may be able to get the hitbox of Shingo falling for some MAJOR damage. Shingo Style God's Duster or Shingo Kinsei Oreshiki Kamichiri(KOF 2002 UM;double hcb + AC): this is Shingo's version of Kyo's Kamichiri... or Kamakura. I'm not quite sure of the name, but it sure does a lot of damage. It also has a bit of humor, considering Shingo pauses halfway through the move to check for any more moves. I hope a running gag like that is in XV somewhere if they put in Shingo.

Blue Mary is a private investigator, her father and lover died on a mission, which is left her cold; Which is why she a had more serious expression in the old games (Mostly the 1st one). The jacket she wears was given to her by her lover. It wasn't really explained, so we could only assume that things developed off camera. As she started being jolly around Terry (Them having special intro interactions). During Garou they seem to be just "friends", last we saw of them is the 2 of them is Terry riding with Blue Mary to accompany her on her next assignment. KOF insinuates to a more romantic side of their relationship, outright saying that Blue Mary thanked NEST because now she's found her new partner. And arcade ending of 13 and 14 liked pairing them up together.
