Shenmue Dojo

This is simply one of the best scenes in gaming for me [the whole of disc 3 was just awesome] with Lan Di appearing and then the little stare down after the fight.

My top 3 scenes in Shenmue, ooh that's hard.

My third favorite scene is the Nozomi rescue scene because it adds a lot to the relationship between Nozomi and Ryo.

My second favorite scene is the forest run through and Shenhua's house because it begins the tale of one of the biggest cliffhangers ever.

My most favorite Shenmue scene, if I really had to choose, is:



I know, I know, its odd but there's a fundamental reason for it.

That scene is important to me because I spent soooooo much time hacking Shenmue save files, to recreate LanDCs hacked saves for the xbox, to load that area as a playable area.

Seeing that scene in the game reminds me of my own dedication to the series and the completion of the storyline. It really sends a chill down my spine as well as makes me feel enlightened about the game as well.


My least favorite part?
Fighting Chai in the Arcade, son of a bitch he is hard, unless you max your moves out.

You don't need to max anything simply focus on ground leg kicks like the leg sweep and he wont stand a chance

One does not simply pick just 3 top 3 scenes.

Ryo crashing a helicopter by kicking it.

Is that in the Capcom remake?

I always seem to miss the Double Blow scene on re-plays. Great move, too.

In Shenmue I, I think everything from the time Ryo has to go save Nozomi and after is damn near perfect - Ono-san, Naoyuki, even the cheesy J-Pop bit. And of course, the morning after the 70 man fight ("Naw. Thats my line" - I think I have a bit of a man crush on Gui Zhang). The scene with Ryo leaving the Dojo and clenching his fist. The way Ryo walk toward the bus stop for one last time and Dobuita almost refuses to let him go - that was genius. The final scene with Master Chen, with Xuiying's theme music - top notch.

But, my favorite 3 scenes, if I had to pick, would be from the end of Shenmue II. The hawk at the crag the first night, Shenhua blowing the flowers the next day, and the Shenmue tree. All superbly done. A very close runner up is of course the rooftop stare down.

Good to know its not just me.

Man... Well... just three.

The Intro of Shenmue, The intro of Shenmue II and Lan-Di escaping from Ryo in that epic scene...

II's intro is let down but that 1 guy appearing in every damn scene I mean come on Sega did no one notice it or had they become lazy at that point?
