great work Blue!

So now that we know the variables for the bike animations, I wonder if Wang uses the same ones? Maybe we could do some switcherooing and get it to work. I'll work on this next week. It may be possible to port these animations into shenmue beta if necessary. However, I feel that maybe WS has code sni...

Do you think there's any chance of making it functional in game? The animations here are just one small piece of what is needed, but I'm optimistic that this goal can be reached eventually. The results of the bicycle hacking/modding carried out by James (shengoro86) have shown some very promising r...

I would help but sadly I lack the time.

One more thing I'd like to mention for the topic are the stiff bodys of NPCs at times. The way they twist their necks to painful angles instead of just turning around. .

No wonder why Yamagashi-san's back kept hurting!

There are so many big mysteries in Shenmue. I'll try to cut it down to my personal top 5: 1) Who was Ryo's mother and how and when did she die? 2) What happened in Meng Cun when Iwao was there? 3) Who are the 4 leaders of the Chi You Men and who is Tentei? 4) What do the two mirrors actually do whe...

Hello. I wanted to make a concrete thread on box protector sizes for Shenmue, Shenmue 2, US Shenmue, What's Shenmue, etc. I could not find a central location for this info. As a collector, it would be nice to have some sort of reference guide. I could not find all of the sizes for a complete Shenmue...

I want to know everything about Shenhua. I feel like her connection to it all is where the mysticism really takes off.

Tentei as well.

Haven't read all the posts yet so if this was mentioned already then I'm sorry. However, we can all say that the biggest blunder in Shenmue 1 is that the Kitchen Door in the Hazuki Residence does not match with the door shown outside. Nor is that door connected to anything :X Proof: https://www.yout...

I'm more than certain I have gotten stuck in the xbox version as well.

If you pause the game, or bring up the inventory menu they fade for you to pass. True True. 2. NPCs getting stuck in doorways, especially at man mo temple I wonder why they didn't notice this problem during the testing of the game. I mean, they should've known better to make the gate wider after fi...

True True.

As for the subtitle: "Occasionally, there are even times when the mountains along the Li River bring misfortune..." Could Shenhua be talking about the very same mountains found on the picture in her house??? Some connection there? If so, then it's theory time. Actually, that line couldn't...

I love Shenmue 2 but yeah there are some issues with it.

1. Totally agree with the martial arts school
2. NPCs getting stuck in doorways, especially at man mo temple
3. Winning Can workflow just feels odd.
4. How fucking hard Dory Gordie is.
