The Story Of Shingo Yabuki - KOF Lore

My favorite Shingo factoid is that he is the only character who doesn't get a sound effect when he activates his desperation move. He actually makes the sound effect himself with his voice.

Shingo the Ascended Fan. If he forgot about flames and focused to create his own fighting style using the Kusanagi's as base other fighters would take him more seriously, his potential is inmense.

@@yunase I'm new to the whole kof series, but judging by how shingo is very popular and how he's still able to compete against other fighters despite being a regular human being I'd say he's doing really good for a character that was meant for some comedy relief.

[@yunase]

@@nuttypotatoe1210 he actually requires a lot of skill to play. I never felt he was that much interesting until his later iteration. His biggest strength was raw damage and the fact you could do another move if the "critical" word appeared (like a "counter" hit). He's popular because he embodies the average kof player who was mostly school boys (like myself). He appeared during 97 which was the beginning of the KOF peak. Everyone in asia knew about the game. You either knew how to play or you were out of it. KOF then became even more popular during the 98' era peaking until 2000 (where later 2001 was under playmore since SNK went bankrupt). Basically, you can say people grew up with this character. Getting love from players, but hate from the game (where he's mostly ridiculed, until the later KOF where he gained respect from his team mate and acknowledgement from Kyo, his master). He's the potential to turn into a very mature, strong and cool character. Let's hope they explore this option.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

@@yunase Matured ok, even more skilled, it's ok too... as long as he still a joke char. Otherwise it wont be fun anymore. There is a difference between that and being strong in the game. Like, he was never a weak char. In that sense he is different from Sf's Dan, for example.

[@ephemera-noctourniquet]

Man, I love shingo. He's my favorite "goofball" character of sorts. He NEEDS to be in KOF 15. Also, a video on benimaru would be cool!

[@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

[@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.

Mine also

[@sorma007]

I really enjoy your videos as they introduced me to the story of KOF and Fatal Fury, Thank you and keep up the good work. From many characters Shingo is probably my favourite.

[@binkbunk3759]

Finally, I waited for this for a long time.

[@1Diddums]

I'm def' curious about Seth. I enjoy his playstyle. 4 unique divekicks was such a strange discovery when I first played him. Other than that, I'm curious if there are any more details behind being "Beni's old friend".

[@bananabike279]

Man, I never knew Shingo played such an important role in the story! Could you do a video on Kula or Billy Kane next? Or maybe a review of King of Fighters: All Star??

[@manueldesant4849]

This was so good ! Well done ... I would love to get the ikari warriors whole essay XD From heidern to whip and everyone in between please !

[@botaktatasumo]

Great stuff!! Mature and Vice next? 😁

[@abdallasa7077]

Kyo, Shingo and Iori in one team is anime worthy.

[@AbulKalamAzadShahin]

As Kyo, Chizuru, and Iori just defeated Orochi again (resurrected bcoz of Verse), they decided to team up and look into this Verse Matter together this year. Meanwhile, after "recovering", Shingo is ready to participate as well. So, he sets off to find his teammates. --- Somewhere in South Town: Rock is miserable, fighting with the leader of local weapon dealer Alexandrite, trying to get Geese Howard's location. He knows his father is not dead, and participated in last tournament... but still hiding from him. Rock is not at his best shape, taking beat down as his mind is not at right place. Shingo breaks the fight. Alexandrite says to them that they stopped working with the crime boss long time ago, and knows nothing about Geese's current affairs. Adelheid arrives, he was notified previously about the fight. Seeing Alexandrite beaten, he started attacking Shingo & Rock... During the fight, something unexpected happens... Shingo strikes and knocks out Adelheid with FIRE. He is both excited and little bit confused. --- After a while: Shingo: Look, we aren't after you... Rock: I'm looking for Geese Howrad. Adelheid: Right, your father! Rock: Don't pretend now you know us!! Adelheid: Well, you aren't the only one with daddy issue, in fact most of us are trying to recover from our former self, or shadow of forefathers... Shingo: I never knew my father... for all I know, what have I learned from my life, fathers don't define sons... Adelheid: It's our Action which defines us! Shingo: Yea! See how life turns out... Kyo, the man I looked up to, teaming up with his rival, the man who wanted to kill him, who almost killed me for trying to save him, Iori... Father, Master no matter what, no one is worth your attention more than yourself. Rock: Anyways guys, thanks for the talk. Adelheid: Hey, have you found your team for KOF XV yet? Shingo: no! Adelheid: how about us?! Rock: sure, Geese is bound to be their like the last time! Adelheid: I have a feeling someone might be resurrected too! Shingo: Orochi?! He's already defeated by those double timing teams. Rock: No, he's looking for his father... Rugal! --- --- --- Could Orochi be defeated just like that?! How did Shingo cast fire just like that now?! Isn't Orochi originally suppose to take over Shingo instead of Chris...!!! --- --- ---

[@jomsht7116]

Nice fanfic Appreciate the fact that you incorporated the fact that Shingo was supposed to be the body Orochi manifested in the development of 97', and made that as an excuse to throw fire, but I'd rather have Shingo as the "regular" guy in KOF, it's what made him special in the first place also if Shingo = Orochi then he'd have met a truly unjust fate (death)

[@AbulKalamAzadShahin]

that's only the beginning... it's written by a fan, so stay tuned, it gets better ;)

[@lonestarr1707]

If kof98 was just a dream it would have made sense if Shingo would have been able to use flames in that game

[@blaze6477]

The clips on 3:27 to 3:40 had me laughing. Kyo teaching Shingo

[@nat_2096]

Can Ryo Sakazaki teach Shingo to cast fire? It sounds like an exclusive technique but the other cast members can do it such as King, Mai, and Ash

[@m3tl1kv3e9]

Shingo Yabuki the KOF Fan Wants to Join for KOF XV Incoming will be Expectation Soon.

[@laocoontius]

I'm on a binge watching spree and in watching your videos. Best thing for a KOF fan is finding this type of content! Also, I have a question! Do you plan on making a video on the Original Zero? I'd love to see that!

[@MikeDeeJackson]

I hope Shingo NEVER gets flames. He's a loveable guy! I wish him the best lol

[@luziaflone1951]

Shingo is my fav character in kof, alongside Yashiro (normal Yashiro not orochi) and Sie Kensou. I really like character with raw strength without projectile power. Shingo kick is my fav moves, easy to connect with serious damage.

[@josuearriaza3952]

Shingo is my fav character. Shingo Kick!! A underdog indeed with some spark.
