“I met master Wu Lianzhi
the other day, It’s been about
10 years I saw him last time,
He and his Baji Quan style
(Kung Fu) never get old
and still flowing. He is the
strongest 68 years old man.

*Flies*

Right before E3 as well? Of all of the time thought the year......

Is it the actual Yu Suzuki's account or is it a fanbase thing that is unofficial. Could be very intresting if it is him as E3 is near. I don't have much hope of a new Shenmue release or even HD though.

Yes, its his actual account,

Intriguingly

Don't have an correct translation yet but it says Suzuki finally got to meet a master. I believe he is the Baji-quan master seen in old Shenmue videos. (Not 100% sure) His style influenced character moves seen in VF and Shenmue.

4:04 AM
Shenmue III not found.

Holy crap, Hakkyokuken style is Akira Yuki's style from VF. This master must be able to do elbow assualts and double storm kicks. I wish I was his student.

Glad to see he uses his account again. Don't think that it means all that much. But great thing that he met the old master again who gave him so much knowledge and inspiration for the fightig action in VF and Shenmue.

The last meeting of Yu Suzuki with Master Wu (that was caught on video), was at August 2004 (during Shenmue Online's conference). - Here's a video:

QuickTranslation:

I met Master Wu after 10 years the other day, Him and his Baji never get old & still flowing, strongest 68 years old man!

Clearly he is talking to him as part of research while making Shenmue 3

Just 2 old friends catching up really.

But, what if..... just imagine at some point of the meeting was there a discussion about their work on Shenmue and what styles could be brought into further instalment...

New fighting game IP from Yu Suzuki (funded by Kickstarter)? Even that would excite me greatly. Wish he was still making awesome arcade games, at least.
