Sun Wukong isn't "ripped off" from LoL and LoL's Wukong isn't an original idea. Both characters are inspired by the main character from the Chinese novel: "Journey to the West" who is named Sun Wukong. Fun fact, his Japanese name is Son Goku and yes, that is where the Dragonball character got his name from. It's an extremely popular book and a very good one, I suggest people read up on it.
I'm glad they remodeled SWK. In his mythology, he is depicted as more human than monkey, so his new model is more accurate to the lore. His current moves are also better, as they directly relate to his lore, whereas these old skills have nothing to do with his lore, and more on how he looks like a generic fast, agile monkey.
I think the reason furious monkey's description says Sun Wukong flips through the air is because in the story Journey to the West where Wukong is from, he could create clones of himself from one of his hairs. That's why when you use it, it looks like he is grabbing a hair from his body and throwing it
i had imagined yahweh as being the god and jesus as his summoned pet. Pestilence, raining toads, mind control, floods, there's a lot to work with here.
Its in closed beta. You can buy a gem pack for automatic access or hunt forums and reddit for keys. Do note it is beta, there a lot of balancing issues. But it is a LOAD of fun, if you don't mind odd bugs here and there.
If you run out of mana pretty quickly, go to the jungle and take a blue buff. As a wukong its fast and easy (; btw love your content Force keep it up (;
Actualy, Sun Wukong in Smite is based on the chinese mythological literal character, who in turn is thought, by both American, Chinese and Indian scholars, to be influenced by both the Hindu deity Hanuman from the Ramayana and elements of Chinese folklore. So, it's obvious that Wukong in League of Legends is based on Sun Wukong, not the other way around. So, this concludes that Sun Wukong in Smite is in turn influenced by the chinese folklore character with the same name. :)
turn water into wine, make you drink his blood ultimate is Masterful Cross, calls people around him to nail him to a cross in order to forgive sins. Dies as a result, damaging all enemy champions for their treachery
I'm pretty sure it's going to be based on an in-game money system.. Free to play, but you can spend money for benefits. Two reasons: Other MOBAs are f2p w/ money systems and SMITE is created by Hi-Rez Studios which made Tribes Ascend which is one of the fastest growing fps at the moment (Also f2p w/ in in game money system)
I'm amazed of so many ppl think sun wukong - aka the monkey king, is a ripp off from other games....He's a Chinese fictional character from the book The Journey to the West(Published in 16th century)...
Its really funny whenever you go into the jungle to try and get a gank you start to whisper like they might somehow hear you haha. These Smite videos rule! Keep it up!
DotA was the first MOBA, although it started in Starcraft with another name. And LoL did rip a whole lot of things from DotA, as well as DotA 2, I could give you some obvious examples if you'd like. And I'm saying this as a LoL player with previous DotA/DotA 2 experience.
Maybe indeed... If people only realized that every god in this game is a name taken from a god or goddess from many of the world's different religions.
i play LoL alot and this really seems fun so how much would i have to pay to get into this beta and what can i use thes gems for and u wouldit have a key would u since it sounds like ur in the game lol
Just some advice for TP'ing to town. Try to hold off on going back to town as much as possible, even if you are out of mana (HP is a different story, but can still be utilized in what I will explain) because staying in lane = EXP and levels which are much more important than buying a few items or mana/health pots. I notice a lot of noobie MOBA players doing this then going back into lane and going "wth man they are so strong!". Tip in short, try to stay in lane at all costs to get exp/levels.
hey force - i enjoy playing the beta as well. just a quick tip for you playing melee chars: try out the item hand of god ;) very easy and quick low lvl ganks and a good cooldown to trigger (f.e. to get a buff in jungle)
They plan to keep it free to play. Micro transaction model for gems. Gems can be used to buy skins, unlock gods faster( takes quite a while to unlock with IP equivalent, called favor, some may want to expedite the process) and boosts
The comments on Sun Wukong SMITE videos are hilarious. It's amazing how many people never looked at that the Year of the Animal place mats in the Chinese restaurants.
Force, you should always keep enough mana for an escape. You harass with your last mana, and without boots early game you have no chance of running away. I can't believe you are almost lvl 12 and still play versus newbies. Good job though, love your vids!
Actualy, Sun Wukong in Smite is based on the Chinese mythological literal character, who in turn is thought, by both American, Chinese and Indian scholars, to be influenced by both the Hindu deity Hanuman from the Ramanaya and elements of Chinese folklore, Sun Wukong.* Otherwise, if you don't believe me, google it, read about it, and you'll very quickly know who Sun Wukong really was, and who Wukong in LoL really is influenced by. :) Happy to help out with correct information ^^. Cheers. :)
@Forcesc2strategy when he said "give out beta keys and get more subs on her" he meant to say get more subs playing smite (get more subs on here* e.g. smite), not get more youtube subs for the beta keys :P
yeh, jumped into the gamr after watching and realised already had him. good job too as not sure gonna buy any gems unless i get into it. thanks for the tip anyway :)
No. This is a moba (the same as LoL, DotA, HoN, even Awesomenauts). But it's completely different. It's the same as in Halo, Battlefield and Tribes Ascend are the same.
everyone has played dynasty warriors cmon, kingdom of wu remember them the red guys? gotta pronounce them words right stretch them syllables, dont fret though i got my own problems too i just sound my words out >.> good videos always keep em coming
I said that it started of in Starcraft (AoS) but since DotA was made from that idea I thought of it as basicly the same. (Custom game in Blizzards RTS-games.) And since AoS didn't get very far, and with the thought of how bad the quality was back then as far as balance and gameplay goes, I didn't think it was needed to go into those specifics. And as for "You can't rip off something that's released AFTER you", this is not true at all.
I'm glad to see Sun Wukong...but arghhhh I am totally disappointed how they designed him! I like when Wukong is depicted as a monkey/human hybrid. Read his lore on Wiki, he picks up manners and the speech of humans throughout his travels. His jin (Staff) looks like an over sized royal scepter and the confetti that trails behind him should be replaced by some type of nimbus cloud. All that being said, League of Legends' Monkey King is more appealing IMO P.S. Son Goku(DBZ) = Sun Wukong
wukong's animations in lol (the pole and cloud) are wukongs actual abilities its not based on goku.wukong first appeared in 16th century so its not really possible in any way that wukong is a copy of goku.i'd say that goku is a copy of wukong WITH his own unique caracteristics.
If its free to play, go ahead and sub. Lots of other youtube posters post a link so they get credit. After all, your really giving the game free advertising. Its a fair trade.
I never said that the DotA 2 Beta was released before LoL, I was saying LoL copied things from the DotA 2 Beta. That doesn't imply that the DotA 2 Beta came before LoL, since they do these updates with patches. What I was saying regarding the releases was that the original DotA was way before LoL, which is kind of obvious.
i like the lore of the monkey king, surprised this game hasnt made people want to wiki these cats. anyhoo force playing monkey man??? i thought youd avoid him like the plague. he always is an enemy in your videos and usually pushes your lane
If you're not stupid and charge every time you get the chance you'll easily survive longer. Also, not spamming your attacks will save you tons of mana and more chances to slay enemies. Just think as a team player, not a stupid one man army.
Why argue if u don't like smite who cares if u don't like lol who cares they are both really good games I've never played smite I always play lol and honestly it look like a really fun game and even better than lol but I wont know until I play it.
DotA 2 introduced a shop where you can type to buy items etc. and they introduced a spectator system that was quite amazing. A few months later LoL made the same shop and the same spectator system more or less. It doesn't matter if DotA 2 is a BETA, they can still copy the shop, spectator system, items etc. tl;dr LoL has basicly done the same shop, spectator system and some items that exists in DotA/DotA 2. And if you think it's annoying with replies delete your comment lol. ^^
Sun Wukong isn't "ripped off" from LoL and LoL's Wukong isn't an original idea.

Or you know the mythical god Sun WuKong...
Yeah, who was invented for the novel "Journey to the West", I said that.
Chris Polkas Ummm... Sun Wukong was in mythology... before the movie came out...
I'm not talking about a movie, he was a character in a book. Read the article.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Wukong
the movie. lol
Bring this Sun Wukong back as a Hun Batz skin.
Yes
I played this game when it was in closed beta. Looking at this vid brings back soo many memories
Brings back memories of when I first opened it in beta.
Thank you Force. Do continue the series. It's really amazing to watch a friend play SMITE.
I'm glad they remodeled SWK. In his mythology, he is depicted as more human than monkey, so his new model is more accurate to the lore. His current moves are also better, as they directly relate to his lore, whereas these old skills have nothing to do with his lore, and more on how he looks like a generic fast, agile monkey.
Tu Pham I want them to do this to ares
old wukong looks like hun batz
They made Hun batz to be basically the old Sun Wukong
That's because he is. They turned old Sun Wukong into Hun Batz and then remade Sun Wukong.
Force, you finally did it. You joined the Dark Side and became The Monkeyman. By the looks of it, you enjoyed every damn second, as we all did:)
i realy like the way how smite changed up camera view thirdperson is rly refreshing in my opinion
I think the reason furious monkey's description says Sun Wukong flips through the air is because in the story Journey to the West where Wukong is from, he could create clones of himself from one of his hairs. That's why when you use it, it looks like he is grabbing a hair from his body and throwing it
i had imagined yahweh as being the god and jesus as his summoned pet. Pestilence, raining toads, mind control, floods, there's a lot to work with here.
I love the old ult with the fireworks. The effect of them being a pseudo-cc blocking vision is kinda cool Wish that was kept
Its in closed beta. You can buy a gem pack for automatic access or hunt forums and reddit for keys. Do note it is beta, there a lot of balancing issues. But it is a LOAD of fun, if you don't mind odd bugs here and there.
If you run out of mana pretty quickly, go to the jungle and take a blue buff. As a wukong its fast and easy (; btw love your content Force keep it up (;
i really enjoy ur Smite's Gameplays.
I wish this Sun Wukong be a retro skin For Hun Batz for the next anniversary of smite
The monkey-dude seems to be really good. Especially the speed-buff.
Since Hi Rez is adding the old kaung skin in the game I’m excited now that they might bring this skin back

The main reason you don't teleport back to town in open view is the opposing team can disrupt your teleport by doing damage to you.
Personally, what makes me think that he has huge similarities with Wukong from LoL is the fact that his kit is relatively same.
Believe me,there's a lot of people who don't read developers notes,what inspired them to create such a character.They just simply do not care.
If they don't see you teleport they could assume your trying to gank from the jungle. tends to keep them a little less likely to push the lane hard.
turn water into wine, make you drink his blood
ultimate is Masterful Cross, calls people around him to nail him to a cross in order to forgive sins. Dies as a result, damaging all enemy champions for their treachery
thank God for his rework
Thank you for another Smite gameplay :D
Nicely played Force ;D. You pwn them all. XP
It will be free to play. The preorder is done by buying gems(an in-game currency) ahead of time, not pre-purchasing the game itself.
is there any smart casts? like artemis ulti... i have to click the button then i have to left click to activate it.
Sun Wukong is from Chinese legend fiction.
Him, a Pig, and a Sea Monster guard a religious man to buda
I'm pretty sure it's going to be based on an in-game money system.. Free to play, but you can spend money for benefits. Two reasons: Other MOBAs are f2p w/ money systems and SMITE is created by Hi-Rez Studios which made Tribes Ascend which is one of the fastest growing fps at the moment (Also f2p w/ in in game money system)
Whens the full game gonna be availible for download?
wukong is not a chinese god,he is a character from a chinese novel written in the 16th century 'journey to the west'.
I'm amazed of so many ppl think sun wukong - aka the monkey king, is a ripp off from other games....He's a Chinese fictional character from the book The Journey to the West(Published in 16th century)...
LOL wtf, pro kiting around that turret Force
Its really funny whenever you go into the jungle to try and get a gank you start to whisper like they might somehow hear you haha.
These Smite videos rule! Keep it up!
DotA was the first MOBA, although it started in Starcraft with another name. And LoL did rip a whole lot of things from DotA, as well as DotA 2, I could give you some obvious examples if you'd like. And I'm saying this as a LoL player with previous DotA/DotA 2 experience.
How do you get to play this game? I really wanna play!! Please reply..
Maybe indeed... If people only realized that every god in this game is a name taken from a god or goddess from many of the world's different religions.
i play LoL alot and this really seems fun so how much would i have to pay to get into this beta and what can i use thes gems for and u wouldit have a key would u since it sounds like ur in the game lol
He was also the basis for the main Dragonball character, Goku.
Just some advice for TP'ing to town.
Try to hold off on going back to town as much as possible, even if you are out of mana (HP is a different story, but can still be utilized in what I will explain) because staying in lane = EXP and levels which are much more important than buying a few items or mana/health pots.
I notice a lot of noobie MOBA players doing this then going back into lane and going "wth man they are so strong!". Tip in short, try to stay in lane at all costs to get exp/levels.
is this open to the public to play yet an if not how do i get into it to play
i downloaded smite but i cant play it becous i need to buy the game.
but you said in the prevois video it is free to play...
how does that work?
hey force - i enjoy playing the beta as well.
just a quick tip for you playing melee chars: try out the item hand of god ;) very easy and quick low lvl ganks and a good cooldown to trigger (f.e. to get a buff in jungle)
i feel you could have been slightly more aggressive with this one Force, methinks we need a monkeyman round two
you can also get in by getting a beta key from some1, each player that register a beta key got 3 extra keys
His ultimate will be Punish, which will kill everybody on the map, including the 2 minotaurs, phoenixes, etc... :D
They plan to keep it free to play. Micro transaction model for gems. Gems can be used to buy skins, unlock gods faster( takes quite a while to unlock with IP equivalent, called favor, some may want to expedite the process) and boosts
The comments on Sun Wukong SMITE videos are hilarious. It's amazing how many people never looked at that the Year of the Animal place mats in the Chinese restaurants.
there are loads of variants of sun wukong in all moba games
Force, you should always keep enough mana for an escape. You harass with your last mana, and without boots early game you have no chance of running away. I can't believe you are almost lvl 12 and still play versus newbies. Good job though, love your vids!
so true, and there for, every game ever made, is a "doppleganger" of something else...
Actualy, Sun Wukong in Smite is based on the Chinese mythological literal character, who in turn is thought, by both American, Chinese and Indian scholars, to be influenced by both the Hindu deity Hanuman from the Ramanaya and elements of Chinese folklore, Sun Wukong.* Otherwise, if you don't believe me, google it, read about it, and you'll very quickly know who Sun Wukong really was, and who Wukong in LoL really is influenced by. :) Happy to help out with correct information ^^. Cheers. :)
If you're willing to acknowledge that the genre can be played casually, it kind of completely destroys your last point.
Love your smite vids. =)
"there trying to get me to believe that's me..PFFF" lmao
this game is using actual GODs like those AGNI and KALI are actual Indian GODs...... they r doing amazing stuff
Punk Duck voiced Force Gaming
jesus has resu and clairvoyance!
Yeah, that's one of the best myths of all time.
this game looks fun. cant wait till its out.
lol force u desere more subs for ur awesome commentary
@Forcesc2strategy when he said "give out beta keys and get more subs on her" he meant to say get more subs playing smite (get more subs on here* e.g. smite), not get more youtube subs for the beta keys :P
When he said "get some more subs on here" I'm pretty sure he meant just give them away so your current subscribers can play also.
don't argue with ignorance, they'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
@TheDevilgreed no u only need to buy a $8 one
Force you OP. Stop destroying those poor souls
sun wukung has the magic trick to use his hair to make extra forms of him self...so maybe he is throwing him self ;)
yeh, jumped into the gamr after watching and realised already had him. good job too as not sure gonna buy any gems unless i get into it. thanks for the tip anyway :)
No. This is a moba (the same as LoL, DotA, HoN, even Awesomenauts). But it's completely different. It's the same as in Halo, Battlefield and Tribes Ascend are the same.
what is in the area in the woods
everyone has played dynasty warriors cmon, kingdom of wu remember them the red guys? gotta pronounce them words right stretch them syllables, dont fret though i got my own problems too i just sound my words out >.>
good videos always keep em coming
How do you type while running?
I said that it started of in Starcraft (AoS) but since DotA was made from that idea I thought of it as basicly the same. (Custom game in Blizzards RTS-games.) And since AoS didn't get very far, and with the thought of how bad the quality was back then as far as balance and gameplay goes, I didn't think it was needed to go into those specifics. And as for "You can't rip off something that's released AFTER you", this is not true at all.
Please play Hel next. Should be a lot of fun!
Forces' arch nemesis!
Also... is it free only during the beta?
they dont have mana potions force?
Dude, nothing wrong with HP, great books.
I'm glad to see Sun Wukong...but arghhhh I am totally disappointed how they designed him! I like when Wukong is depicted as a monkey/human hybrid.

P.S. Son Goku(DBZ) = Sun Wukong
I'm just shocked that Force wasn't using auto buy from the store ;-D
wukong's animations in lol (the pole and cloud) are wukongs actual abilities its not based on goku.wukong first appeared in 16th century so its not really possible in any way that wukong is a copy of goku.i'd say that goku is a copy of wukong WITH his own unique caracteristics.

You should look into the concept of "sarcasm".
if you didnt know theyre the same type of game and thats the name of an actual chinese god
I never said that the DotA 2 Beta was released before LoL, I was saying LoL copied things from the DotA 2 Beta. That doesn't imply that the DotA 2 Beta came before LoL, since they do these updates with patches. What I was saying regarding the releases was that the original DotA was way before LoL, which is kind of obvious.
I sense a pro smite carreer inc!
Force go smite
Tell this to all the LoL players that still pronounce Warwick as "War Wick" and not "Warrick".
Nice Winston Churchill quote. :D
... if you ask me but no one ask me ... *silence*
It's a genre... And all of the names are god's names.
i like the lore of the monkey king, surprised this game hasnt made people want to wiki these cats.
anyhoo force playing monkey man??? i thought youd avoid him like the plague. he always is an enemy in your videos and usually pushes your lane
Someone should've preserved Smite while it was in beta.
Someone should've deleted it before it got a chance to spiral into ridiculousness multiple times over.
Smakingest, Wackingest, Trollingest god in the East
sun wukong is kinda like the normal wukong from leguee of legends
If you're not stupid and charge every time you get the chance you'll easily survive longer. Also, not spamming your attacks will save you tons of mana and more chances to slay enemies. Just think as a team player, not a stupid one man army.
