If you have played as Hwang in the previous Soul Calibur then Yunsung will be a perfect fit for you. He is an extremely fun character to play as. He uses a single-handed sword and he plays just like Hwang. He has quick moves and he has powerful moves. I wanted to play as Yunsung because he looked quick and he looked like Hwang. I didn't think I would play as him permanetly but I was wrong. Once you start playing as Yunsung, you just want to play as him as much as possible. He's just so awesome. In this guide, I'll tell you Yunsung's weapons, costumes, moves, profile and everything else you need to know about this fast and furious character. ================================== 2. Why be Yunsung? ================================== There are a few reasons you might want to play as Yunsung. One is if you liked Hwang in the previous Soul Calibur, you'll feel right at home with Yunsung. He plays like him and looks like him. Another reason to play as him is if you like speedy characters and you don't want to look cheap (*couph* Kilik) then Yunsung's a great choice. He is also pretty strong.

If you like to kick people in the face a lot, Yunsung has a wide variety of kick moves. That's some of the reasons you may want to play as Yunsung but the best reason is that Yunsung is just fun to play as. He has awesome, fast moves. ================================== 3. What's up with Yunsung... ================================== -=-=-=-=-=-=- a. Profile -=-=-=-=-=-=- Hong Yunsung Age: 18 Birthplace: Chili-san, Lee Dynasty Korea Height: 5' 9" Weight: 150 lbs. Birth Date: April 16 Blood Type: O Weapon: Chinese Sword Weapon Name: White Storm Discipline: Seung Style Long Sword + Natural Footwork Family: Father/Died from illness Mother/whereabouts unknown Master/Seung Han Myong Yunsung was well-known in the dojo for his swordmanship, even by his seniors. Hwang Sung Kyung, whom Yunsung had idolized as a child, was no longer his hero, but a goal to surpass. Yunsung wished to challenge Hwang to a deul. One day, news reached the Seung Dojo that Hwang was returning from his long journey. Yunsung saw his oppurtunity to force Hwang to acknoledge his fighting skills. He may even prove to be actually stronger than Hwang. Hwang, however, did not take Yunsung's challenge, for he had other priorities such as rejoining the military to help defend the country from the impending invasion by Japan. Seung Mina, the master's daughter, saw the brooding young man and handed him a single-handed sword. The weapon she handed to Yunsung was a Seung family heirloom. According to legend, it possessed the ability to reflect the deepest thoughts of those who held the blade. That night, Yunsung studied the image of himself in the sword and reflected. He eventually understood the foolishness of challenging someone for personal reason when the country was in such peril. But what could Yunsung do to make Hwang acknoledge him? He then relized that if he could obtain the Sword of Salvation that Hwang failed to find, Hwang would be forced to recognize Yunsung's talents and respect him. A challenge against Hwang would have to wait. Once Yunsung made his decision, he could not stay put for long. He immediately packed his belongings and left the dojo. -=-=-=-=-=-=- b. Stage -=-=-=-=-=-=- Imperial Capital Ayuthaya The Ayuthaya dynasty witnessed the height of prosperity of the Indonesian Peninsula. This imperial villa is one of the many used by the dynasty to entertain honored guests. The beautiful white walls of the villa and the abundant nature that can be seen across the river from the garden make visitors feel as though time stands still. Talim came to this place some time after the start of her journey. Yunsung passed through this place on his way to India a few days before she arrived. Ayuthaya is the place Talim first came to learn that there were others searching for the evil sword. -=-=-=-=-=-=- c. Ending -=-=-=-=-=-=- "I don't care if the sword is evil... I will protect my country with this power!" Thus he convinced throughout his battles, but as he reached for Soul Edge, he stopped. Returning quickly to his home, Yunsung toiled feverishly to protect his homeland. He no longer needed the Sword of Salvation, for he believed in himself. -=-=-=-=-=-=- d. Quotes -=-=-=-=-=-=- Quit now if you want to live! Just what I wanted! All right, let's do this! Watch this! All right, let's start! You're going down! Do you seriously want to fight? All right, I'm itching for a fight! Any time you're ready! All right, let's go! I can't wait to take you down! Talk is cheap in battle! I'm not going to lose to fools like you! It doesn't matter how many of you there are! Hear the scream of my sword! Alright! All's well that ends well. That was great! Not quite good enough. I hardly broke a sweat! It's a matter of skill! That's it? Not too bad. Come back when you're ready! Nothing can stop me! (Laugh 1) I'm unstoppable! Still breathing? That was too easy! No problem! How's that? Still Breathing? Man, I'm much better looking than you. Don't make me waste my time. (Laugh 2) That was better than the last time! What?! D*mn... ...I don't believe this. Oh, come on... That sword is definetly evil. I don't care if it's evil. I will protect my country! Did you feel my true strength?! Sorry, but I have to go. No no, let young people handle it. I can't handle her. I'm outta here! (Attack 1-19) Take this! Gotcha! Outta my way! Die! Next! Nice try! Don't run! No use! I see ya! Sorry! Gimme a break! Feel that? Yeah! How's that? (Damage 1-13) (Death Cry) -=-=-=-=-=-=- e.

Weapons/Costumes ================================== 1. White Storm Most familiar and well-balanced weapon for him Description: The White Storm was given to Yunsung by Seung Mina. The blade itself has a silver-white tone to it. The handle is red and the ends of the handles are colored gold. Background: A sword passed down as a family treasure in the Korean Seung family, famous for its martial arts. It is said that its blade shows the reflection of the deepest parts of the wielder's heart. After re-examining his own heart, Yunsung decided to go out in search of the Soul Edge. As appropriate for a Seung family treasure, it is an exceedingly well-balanced sword. How to get it: Default weapon 2. Machete Penetrates defense, but lacks defense Description: The machete looks just like... a machete. If you look closely, the blade looks like a pocket knife. The handle is taped and bent. Background: A type of blade used by the indigenous people in the land beyond the Atlantic Ocean. Most the people encounter are actually replicas made in Europe, but this particular one is a rare and authentic one brought back by sailors. It's heavy blade can cause impact damage even when blocked. How to get it: Chapter 1/600 Gold 3. Khanjar Powerful single strikes, but has short reach Description: The Khanjar has a small and thin blade attached to its purple and gold handle. Background: Originally created in twelfth century Turkey, it is now widly used everywhere from Persia to India. Its sharp, curved blade which matches its name (meaning "meat cutting knife" in Arabic) makes it easy to attack while knocking aside the enemy's attacks. How to get it: Chapter 2 and 3/900 Gold 4. Xiao Lian Long reach, but wielder receives damage Description: The Xia Lian has a long, glowing blade with a handle that is T shaped and it has a red and silver coloring to it. Background: One of the three Shang dynasty treasure swords. It is said that during the day, only its shadow can be seen, and during the night, only the light that it radiates allows you to find its location. It is said that the sword can partially change its shape at its wielders will, but it is also said that it is difficult for a normal human body to withsatndthe sword's power. How to get it: Chapter 3 and 5/1200 Gold 5. Giant Butcher Knife Good offense, but has a short reach Description: The Giant Butcher Knife is large compared to a normal butcher knife but pretty small compared to Yunsung's other blades. The knifes handle is red, bronze, and it is squared with a small tail on it. Background: A simple sword designed for mass production. It was designed expressely for soldiers and was used on the battlefield. It was given the name 'Giant Butcher Knife' by the soldiers, but ofcourse it was not use for cooking. Its heavy blade, designed for killing, has a short reach but packs a punch. How to get it: Chapter 6/1600 Gold 6. Cheng Ying Easy to SC, but lacks offense and defense Description: The Cheng Ying has a spiky blade but its invisible. The handle is unique likes its blade. It has three horns that look like a W at the top of the handle. It has a red and blue middle and a small rigid, gold ball at the end. Background: One of the three Shang dynasty swords. It is said the its blade can only be seen, barely, at dusk and dawn, and even only if the sword is pointed northward. The blade's very existence is unstable, making it difficult for an enemy to block, but likewise, it is difficult to use it to guard against the opponent's attacks as well. How to get it: Chapter 6, 7, and Subchapter 3/2200 Gold 7. Ramdao Long reach and absorbs health, but guard is penetrable Description: The blade is silver and the side of it is red. The balde also has an eyeball drawn on it. The silver handle is not in the middle of the blade the left. Background: A widely used sacrificial sword from Nepal. It has a characteristic eye-motif decorating at the end of the blade. It has the power to sap the life away from enemies and heal the body of it's wielder. As a result of its long reach, the shock when absorbing enemies attacks is increased, making it difficult to guard effectively. How to get it: Chapter 8, Subchapter 3/3000 Gold 8. Blue Thunder Powerful single strikes, but lacks offense Description: It's the US sword! On its handle are the colors red, white, and blue. Coincidence? Anyway, the blade is thin and silver. Background: A sword that Korean General Lee Sun Shin received in his younger days from his closest friend, Seung Han Myong. When the Korean national hero, Hwang, went out on his second quest for the Sword of Salvation, the admiral himself presented the to him. It does not do to much damage with each hit, but its weight breaks the opponents stance. How to get it: Chapter 8, 9, 10, and Subchapter 3/4000 Gold 9. Soul Edge (Complete) Fearsome demonic weapon said to absorb life Description: This Soul Edge looks just like the other ones, green, pointy, and mutated. Background: An evil blade with a reputation for devouring souls. This weapon is also known to be a shape shifter -- which form it takes depends on its owner. The forms it has taken are legendary, as are the souls of the renowned warriors it has consumed. Only those with great mental discipline can retain their will while wielding this weapon. It is an evil weapon which saps the strength of the enemy it wounds and rends the soul of the one who holds it. How to get it: Extra Chapter 1/7800 Gold 10. Han Guang Legendary weapon. Wield it to discover its true power Description: This legendary weapon has a wavy and T shaped handle and an invisible blade. Why? Because this thing is huge. Its true power is being extremely long. Background: One of the three Shang dynasty treasure swords. Its balde has no physical presence, and it is said that those cut by it do not even relize that they have been hit. It boasts a suprising lightness and long reach, but it saps the life of its wielder with every swing. It is unlikely that any human can handle it. How to get it: Extra Chapter 2/9800 Gold 11. Child's Sword And what am I suppose to do with this? Description: Cool, a plastic sword. Hey, atleast its not a broom. It's plain and plastic. Background: A sword that Seung Mina once gave to Yunsung. Upon close examination, the words 'For little kids' have been engraved onto an inconspicous place. In other words, she'd been treating him like a child when she gave it to him. It is completely ineffective as a sword, but perhaps it will cause oponents to let down their guard. How to get it: Subchapter 2/12500 Costume 1: Yunsung has red hair and is wearing a red, white, blue, and yellow halter top. The top has a circle with three little circles in it on it. His pants are white and have designs on them. He also has a belt on his waist with two long parts hanging on the sides of his legs.

Tips for fighting with Yunsung ================================== - Yunsung's Meteor Throw is a great throw to get ring outs with. Have your opponents back toward the and of the stage and execute the throw. It'll throw you opponent straight out of the stage. - If your opponent is next to the end of the stage (he/she has his or her side toward the end of the stage) try the Pinwheel Kick throw. It'll easily throw your opponent out of the ring. You can also use the Spine Destroyer but getting your opponent in the back is tough. - Using Crane and Crane Swoop combos is essential to kicking your opponents crapper! Doing moves like Rising Phoenix Kick give you an enourmous opportunity to juggle your opponent crazy. And moves like Rage Fire Blade hurt your opponent a lot and it gets them on the ground. - When opponents are on the ground, its time to beet the crap out of your opponent without breaking a sweat. Use strong, and low vertical and kicks. - Yunsung has some awesome kicks. So use them to your advantage. Double Circular Heaven Fangs inflicts almost 100 damage, gets the opponent on the ground, and your evading while you attack. And you can combine kicks with sword attacks like the Warrior Step. And inflict quick damage with the Double Hawk kick. Without kicks, Yunsung would be an average character. - There are a lot of vertical and horizonta attacks you can use. There's the Opening Void Thrust which doesn't look to comfortable, there's the Jolting Blade or you could use a combination of vertical and horizontal attacks and do attacks like the Rage Fire Blade or the Willow Dance. - Yunsung's best signature move is definetly Raging Panther. Two kicks in the face and when your opponent thinks your goin to do another kick, you do some horizontal attacks and one of them trips your opponent. It's a high, medium and low attack to die for. - Yunsung's best quick moves are Blade Song for its very quick maneuverings and Vipers Illusion for being quick and deadly. - All of Yunsung's powerful moves are good but they require timing. For Fire Storm, you have to be far away from your opponent and have them standing still. The best time to do Loin Crush(Hold) is right after someone gets up. While they're getting up, excecute the move. Roaring Flame is the same as Loin Crush(Hold). Once they get back on their feet, they'll be off their feet. And for Wall Dance(Hold), just make sure your opponent stands still. ================================== 6. FAQs ================================== There haven't been any FAQs yet.
