I like what Shingo represents. There is a myth in fighting games that you NEED perfect execution to get anywhere. It's why alot of people avoid the genre. Truth is, you don't need perfect execution. Shingo lacks finesse, and still gets pretty far. Even has a championship under his belt. It's almost like he's DESIGNED around dispelling that myth. Maybe not in the beginning, but I think that's what he is now.
Shingo is a talented individual as well. He is just a newbie in the scene who needs to train, while everyone else had been training from childhood. It's like SNK is telling people that they might be very good but they will never know if they don't try the games
I like to think that maybe that blue fire was a form of Ki? In the KOF14 manga, it was shown that Ki could be shaped by the user. Perhaps Shingo's eternal fan boy spirit just shapes his Ki to that of a fire-like aura? lol
Maybe its a nod to his "critical mechanic" in the old game? Which mean, magai got hit by a lucky stroke critical punch of shingo, it will be cool if 15 shingo had blue fire effect everytime he do critical hits This could also be a char progression lore, as shingo werent able to properly control his new blue flame power (thus it only happen on accident/on crit only), also shingo is well deserved at this point to achieve his dream of getting his own flame especially after all of his struggle, hardwork, and char progression since 97 He deserved that power up (ofc, doesnt mean he need to be a kyo clone, but his own firestyle technique), blue flame on ex move only or crit only will be a sick addition to 15 shingo
@@ladjiel agreed. Dude has been working at this shit for so many years that no one could logically try to argue that he doesn’t deserve it at this point
There are a lot of fire users in KOF anyway. It's not unique to Kyo and Iori so why not Shingo. Maybe not as fire heavy on the specials because he'd be too much of a Saisyu/Kyo clone, but like one flame special.
Yeah, for how normal this guy is lorewise, his damage output is undoubtedly impressive. Adding Crits mechanic into the mix as for how goofy he is was a nice touch and I agree should comeback as his unique gimmick.
I think his new "blue flame" should be limited to his DM's, EX Critical hits, and his Climax Super. We may have a lot of fire users by now but Shingo is that one I feel deserves an exception since he worked so hard to make it to this point. Maybe have them be animations related to KOF XIII Iori's moveset as a homage.🙏🥋🔥
I'm pretty torn on the one hand we have enough fire user's in Kof. On the other if anyone deserves a pass for being a fire user it's Shingo. His whole goal was to produce his own flame and now he has one that burns even hotter than Kyo's! If anybody should get a pass for being a fire user it's Shingo!!!!
I believe that best option is to use the blue flames in his climax super as a small nod to the gaiden manga, other than that there is no need to change him to a full on fire user.
This I agree with. Honestly, if they mixed it in it would do a lot for his character and show his growth. It would be cool if he copied some of the other moves from people in the past as another nod. Him having an SF5 dan treatment would be sick imo 🔥
I'm rooting for the blue flames to show up only on his climax. Like an ultimate power that even himself doesn't know how to trigger at will, but it would be a cool payoff for all his efforts along the years and lore coherent. Apart from that, it pleases me that Shingo has always been a fun and effective character even looking a bit clumsy, but boy is he hard working
I’ve actually read the manga that was mentioned it was quite a interesting read. It was interesting to see shingo as a main character but also knowing he has siblings. The blue flames would be cool to see as a secret ultimate attack in kof 15 but then again who knows.
I think it'd be sick if they made a nod to the manga on his climax animation at least Like have him punch with the blue flame just against iori or the awakened orochi team Being so fucking strong and hardworking you create flames through sheer willpower is pretty sick
The best ending for Shingo was when Saisyu offered to mentor him in the NESTS saga (after Kyo discourages him to stop fighting) of 2K1. He even teams up with his new master and Kula in a later KOF game to reflect this. In 2K3 he finally gets his flame. But only if he's not teamed up with Goro and Benimaru. And at random. LOL.
I actually read the gaiden at some point it was very intersting , imo whether or not shingo pulls out the blue flames in XV i don't mind as long as he has updated and stronger moveset than before (time manipulation could be the biggest expectation shattering news in XV so far tbh) and as for when he stands i suppose he will team up with either saisyu and daimon or maybe kim and kensou for the asian alliance team (which was the case in 02UM with jhun and lin) anyway let's buckle up for season 2 💥💥💥💥
Since he met Iori's ancestors I would think he will have some of the yasakani's moves like KOFXIII Iori's move set or Iori's 3 quarter circle back uppercuts
Of course we don’t want another Kyo clone, but we don’t want Shingo’s dream to go unanswered. A compromise is to only have the Blue flames in the Climax super (let’s be real, the 2002 UM desperation super is too slow, especially considering the faster supers of K’, Kula, and Ángel from 2002 UM to XV).
Wow, well done Shoryu! Any stories involving Shingo is worth the watch! Honestly, now I can't wait to see Shingo in the new game! Even if it was a dream -or a concussion- it would be sweet to see him powered up from the experience. You have a good point, there are too many fire users in the game as is. It would be awesome if he gained the technique but spurned the power because his critical hits were his own style. Thanks for the vid!
I am glad I am not the only one who doesn't want to see Shingo becoming a Fire User. We have so many fire users in KOF already. Shingo having flames (or any super powers) would remove what made Shingo so special. It would be like Stryker from Mortal Kombat having Super Powers 🙁 I like the Underdog Type of character in fighing games. Characters that don't need powers to help. Besides, Shingo is already a skilled fighter.
I mean he was special the fact he got so far on his own was good and the fact he trained for years (IRL and in the series) to get flames. He never got it and we always are teased would feel worthless if he never reached that goal. I would understand if his character naturally made that realization and said (I give up on trying to do blah blah) But we never got that or he ever had that feeling of not achieving that goal. Like, Look at Dan from Street Fighter how he plays in SF5 is a perfect evolution of his character. If Dan became a pro fighter it would defeat his character. Like him and Shingo, both have amazing potential. Shingo should have some level of flames but it shouldn't overrule his character and growth over the years he existed in KOF.
Shingo's type of fire is different form other characters given that he can only punch and kick with it. Hell, I know want to see him with his own flames because it's something he earned and it'll give some forms of development to his character and fighting style. ( I like that he made his own techniques using the Kusanagi martial arts as a base.)
If shingo were to stop time will it be a cinematic super or a super that in "jojo's bizarre adventures heritage for the future" that dio can move freely when time is stopped?
The Manga may be about Shingo, but it's a Good thing we got to see a bit of Lore about the "Regalia of Japan" Era that the whole KOF series was based on, I always wondered why there has never been a Prequel KOF Game before, like how "Street Fighter" does it in the Alpha series, 4 and even 5 which were before SF3 until SF6 finally made past it.
Well, if you think about it, every time he does a Counter move, the screen freezes for a less of a second (time stop?), but of course it can be the visual effect of a powerful hit.
Great video. I agree with you, I want to see Shingo being the strongest "normal" person, you know, having a healthy rivalry with the likes of Ralph Jones, Antonov, etc.
Awesome I hope his hadouken heavy punch in 97 also returns You know the one we're elbow hits first followed by left or right punch XD And the shinggo kick was pretty awesome as always
Shingo's Critical Hits temporarily freeze the screen. Shingo has a desparate move that allowed him "TIME" to read his notes and finish his attack SHINGO ALREADY HAD TIME POWERS FROM THE START. HOW HAVE WE BEEN SO BLIND
Well there's a possibility that his strange blue fire is not exactly like the Kusanagi's. About the critical hits...some characters can give a critical hit so hard that the opponent's almost set on fire in the contact and they are not fire users (Ralf Jones for example). Could be the case for Shingo, or something like that. Then it could still he linked to time manipulation. Remember Saiki could use time and he had those strange black flames mayne it wasn't exactly fire. Leaving Shingo without a very special ability wouldn't be fair when there are people like Terry who got very strong without having genetic abilities (well...nothing says Terry's not related to the Heinlein family, Rock's mother's family, and they seem to have some genetic abilities that gives them strange blue flames, for example Rock and his uncle Kain). With so many martial artists who develop very powerful abilities just with their ki...Shingo coups develop his own flame-alike attack and still keep his critical hits...that would actually make him very dangerous.
Shingo is like the Rock Lee of KOF, a normal, goofy guy who's very strong and durable due to training alone. Also, Shingo's flames were listed on his KOF wiki page as a temporary way to power his physical attacks only. If the flames are canon, it'll only boost his physical attacks and have no projectiles. Hell, that might be the only way his critical hits can come back.😶
Personally, I don't want Shingo to have the flames, it'll mean so much more seeing him as one the few badass normal characters in fighting games despite being goofy. But you know what? Goofy doesn't equal weak. Look at Goku.😶
@@keondramcintyre3444 And for the same reason as yours, I want to see him having weak sparks of flames to signify his growth and potencial of manipulating ki.
@@sonicplays8740 We might see a actual Burning Shingo. I looked into this flame more since this was uploaded, and I'm now all in for Shingo having his own flames for multiple reasons. Mainly because he's the only fighter who actually made his flames and actually earn it. Plus, it'll add development to his character and fighting style since his flames are nothing like others.😶
As much as I'd like to see some beautiful blue flames in future KOF installments, I agree with ShoryuGame that Shingo should not have any flame powers. We don't need another Kyo clone and another flame user. Maybe a good character arc for Shingo would be that he has the potential to create flames, but he drops that pursuit to create his own unique abilities that don't involve flames. Him gaining flames would just mean that he's incapable of breaking out of Kyo's shadow.
If Shingo can stop time, that means his super moves where he checks his notebook and his enemy doesn't move at all could genuinely be more than just a joke
@ShoryuGame t's not time stop, it's hit stun! Those 4 hits were so hard it made the opponent so dizzy that Shingo can quickly go through his note book to know how to finish his special!😶
Considering how XIV and XV deal with time and space entities, it could be something with Verse and the buildup to Otoma=Raga that caused portals through time and space to appear around the world, and Shingo was just one of those (un)fortunate people who happened to be near said portals. That is one way to explain it if they want to make Shingo's time adventure canonized, I suppose. The audience will know the cause of the time portals, but Shingo will not.
As much as I hope Shingo will one day be able to learn the flame arts, I think you're right about Shingo's appeal being just a strong "avarage guy". Maybe if his moveset would stay the same, but in his level 3 super he does have control over flames?
I have to agree with you about Shingo not getting fire powers. Although, that saga was cool, I think giving him fire powers will kinda diminish the entire point of his character and might just make him an echo fighter. Then again, KOFXV’s motto is Shatter All Expectations. Who knows? Thank for sharing this story with us, Shoryugame!
I really do hope that in Canon it turns out that his element isn’t fire but light. Would fit his personality and story pretty well in my opinion! In a way it perfectly links with Kusanagi’s question about how the first fire user came to be. Perhaps originally it was an ability born from determination and training after years of looking for the *_light_* at the end of the tunnel
I agree I don't want Shingo to be a Fire User. However, I still want him to be able to produce fire; I just believe it should be limited to his Climax Super.
I hole they use his blue flames in his level 3 as for his critical hits, I hope satisfying slowdown effect. Thanks for adding more light to the Manhas, it's very often that I see them
1. More hyped for shingo then I was for the whole awakened orochi team 2. I agree with you about Not making him a fire user but I would be down to have his climax super be a blue flame punch like in the story. 3. I could also see them using the blue flames to represent the critical hits while his non critical hits are just normal.
Well, here's what I think of how Shingo knows about the existence of Mature and Vice and how he knows they're both Hakkesshu. When Chizuru asked for his help in teaming up with Kyo and Iori in his place after losing her sacred treasure to Ash Crimson before the events of KOF XI began, she told him all about Orochi, about the three clans and why this feud between the Kusanagi and the Yagami exists to this day. And when the two went to see the finals of KOF XIII together with the audience, Chizuru seeing who Iori teamed up with to enter the tournament, she must have told Shingo about Mature and Vice and that they are Hakkesshu, the enemies of the Yata, Kusanagi and Yasakani clans. It is because of this that Shingo recognized them in the manga, Chizuru told him everything she knew about these two snakes during the events of Tales of Ash.
I don’t want Shingo to become a fire user, but I would be fine with his new climax super including the blue flames as a reference! Other than that, leave the flames out. He’s supposed to be our Everyman but I think he’s earned just one fiery super move lol Just this once anyways. He’s been through enough and has been gone for over a decade.
When you started reading the comic, I was hoping that Shingo’s goofiness would have been the cause of the clan’s rivalry somehow 😂. THAT would have been hilarious, and yet would have made Shinto hold a dark secret 🤫.
@@ShoryuGame That can be his character arc if they are changing things. Him having more involvement because he slips back and forth. Then he can have a connection to Ash Crimson. Something about that blue flame. The only color left is yellow fire.
I've always depicted Shingo as optimistic pure muscle. Unrefined skills but big determination. He can get by special power users with just all that. He's already strong as he is already.
Now about the timeline. Ever since the release of King of Fighters manga comics in the 90's and 2000's about the Orochi saga, SNK fans stated that the 1800 years ago occured in the year 194 A.D. and 660 years ago in the year 854 A.D. But now with the confirmation of KOF GAIDEN Manga about the timeline, the timeline of this is based of the original and realife event such as 1800 years ago occured in the year 670 A.D. and 660 years ago in the year 1338 after the fall of Kamakaura Shogunate era (Great work). In original story mentioned both by Saisyu and Chizuru said that Magai was jealous of Yamato being the Hero and want it to gaine more power, but in gaiden Magai was a little bit jealous on him and he didn't tried to open the seal it was Yakumo possesed by Goenitz. Then again in original was mentioned that after he was arrested by Yamato for open the seal he talked to Orochi about his wife been killed by Yamato (but it was a lie) then make the bloodpact, but in gaiden showed that Magai wasn't arrested by Yamato, he was by the authorities for so called cooperation to help the emperor to portect Japan from invaders (I think and I don't like it that the Kusanagi, Yagami and Yata been tools of War), but failed, then been forced by Yakumo to make the bloodpact and Yakumo tells the truth about the death of Magai's brother. Also once that Magai and Yamato knows the plan of Hakkeshu, there are two posdibilities about the story. Either they written a fake journal for the next gen of the 3 clans and the truth journal are written and hiding in plain sight, either they written the truth journal for next gen of 20th. Century (For Saisyu and Iori's father) and not telling to Kyo and Iori until the time comes for the right moment...or....Everything is a lie. Lol (just kidding about everything is a lie but the rest are only two options). When the world is a Doublethink, when the years are 2+2=5. And when their fathers are hiding to their sons and friends many secrets.
I agree with you, I don't want Shingo to use pyrokinesis, but I think time manipulation might be too much for him...although it could be cool to see him do a move like MvC2 Cable's Time Flip.
As funny as it sounds, I defeated Orochi in KOF 97, on my PS4, by placing him first, because I was not confident that I would defeat Orochi. I got the Gold Trophy, "Apocalypse Denied" (Defeat Orochi with a single character), and the screen capture is Orochi suspended in the air, with Shingo at the tail end of an attack doing an afterimage! Shingo saves the world!!!!! 😅🤣
Deep red: 600-800 °C (1112-1800 °F) (Nameless) Orange: 1100 °C (2012 °F) (Kyo, K') Blue: 1400-1650 °C (2600-3000 °F) (Shingo maybe) Purple: 39400 °C (71000 °F) (Iori, Chris) Kyo's & K's Orange Flames are weaker than Iori's & Chris's Purple Flames. Shingo on the other hand we don't know which color of his flames will be in XV. Even if was mentioned in manga. Red and Orange Flames represents life, Purple flames represents poison and death but the Blue one...for me represents peace and purity and like water. Yes Shingo will have the flames like Kyo not Blue one. Maybe Iori's sister has it the Blue one 'cause during the Orochi Saga while Iori was occupied maybe she maked in secret a ritual of exorcise with the help of Chizuru but outside of Japan, thats my opinion and my theory. Plus i garantee that the manga is completly canon and a bit spoiler for ch. 10 of Gaiden (sorry). Magai regained his senses, he teamed with Yamato and defeated Yakumo possesed by Goenitz but still the Hakkeshu controls Yasakani/Yagami, and if my theory is correct or wait...I tell this in few seconds later. Shingo returned to present, he want it to tell Iori about his ancestor but Iori attacked him and laugh like an arrogant. Thats all (I hate this ending, I thought if Iori was listening to Shingo what really happend for real than attack him, then he can change his mind to not have the purple flames anymore and have a regular flame.) One thing. DIO: ZA WARDO. TOKI YO TOMARE....RODA ROLLA DA. MUDADADADADADADA MUDA. SOSHITE TOKI WA UGOKIDASU. KOREGA ZA WARDO DA. SHINE KAKYOIN.
You missed some important things about that manga. Magai's wife says that a time-paradox or a change in the future won't happen because Shingo's "world" and their world are not the same (this means Shingo were in a different timeline or another universe) and she says "our worlds are not the same but a STRANGE power managed to CONNECT them", if you remember that manga takes place after KOF XIV events and in Ash's team story Dolores says "The Crucible of the Souls CONNECTS all universes and makes all possibilities to converge". The point here is Shingo has no time power or something and that past wasn't the "original" (maybe another timeline or universe but im inclined it was another universe), that's why Mature and Vice didn't recognize him.
They wouldn't be able to recognize him in anyway since it's their first time seeing him. But Shingo should've recognized them IF he met them in the present, which he didn't as I explained.
@@ShoryuGame i mean in a "special interaction" in KOF UM like Rugal and Chris but the manga says that Shingo were not in the same world and it was by the current plot (Otoma-Raga).
I agree but i think for ultimates I'll accept one blue flame punch. Or have his critical attacks emit blue flames. In 98 i remember picking him alot since he's like kyo but without powers.
no but think about it. they make the gaiden canon and over haul his moveset to be a mix of kyo like and flameless iori type moves and for his climax he has the burning shingo but before the big punch at the end you see just a spark of the blue flame or make the critical hits a status buff super like a install XD
Hard Work > Being the chosen one. Anyway, when K9999 returned as Krohnen, one of the things I really dislike is how SNK remove his psychic powers. His psychic abilities was one of the reasons why I prefer K9999 over Nameless and what made him unique compare to other 'Kyo Clones' (even if K9999 is NOT an actual clone) Now Krohnen is like Nameless, another fire user, that's lame.
There about 18 fire usersin lof now considering now k9999 is fire user now😐. k9999 is just nameless with normal orange flames . They really nerfed him with the removal of his psychic powers. There are lot of abilities not explored in the franchise enough .like ice,water,lightning,psychic,light, air, Technology, Dark magic like Dou lon and earth but the king and queen of that belongs to Mukai and Delores . At this point Fire user in kof are boring .😂. It's an excuse to solve all problems. Orochi-call iori and kyo. Also Snk should stop putting Orochi back into main plot and give other villains spotlight hence why those from the past are the most boring villains despite having the one of the best designs. Alot of potential wasted on these guys. Then the Nest Saga having the best villains in the franchise . Humans proving to be a world threat without the aid of ancient power. The Orochi saga having the most evil villains in saga. with likes of Genitz and Orochi by damging the lifehoods of Hiedern,Leona and Chizuru.
Aside from that I really need to read this manga. But thinking about it, who are the team, if we're going manga reference, seeing that Vice, and Mature there, maybe that's the team? Second idea is Shingo, Saisyu, and maybe Maki? (since she's kind of exists because of Verse) Last one is the classic team pupils, Shingo, May Lee, and Marco Rodriguez.
Time control would be pretty cool. I don't think any fighter in the series have that power in the games right now 🤔 but please keep his critical hit ✨💥🙏🏾 it's bone breaking
Maybe the reason Shingo went back in time is because of Verse’s effect in time and space? And Shingo was just unlucky enough to be sucked in a random time space distortion. That’s just my theory as to how Shingo managed to go back in time since I think SNK is trying to push flame Shingo
Lol could you imagine if he did get tine powers and he LOOKS strong but only cause he spamming the time stop/slow on his opponents. Therefore to the unaware making it appear he is strong.
I only want blue flames for his Climax, like the flames of one miracle, same angle and intensity as the manga scene, let him achieve his long wished dream and objective to get close to kusanagi, i mean sakura was able to do some weird ass looking hadoken as well after all so why not let Shingo get some badass features as well.
@@djantouahmed7319 How about the "hamon" , the one we talk in series like Jojo or jujutsu kaisen. Somehow that also can be considered as some kind of ki right? But it allows you somehow to transform ur ki into elemental energy. Joe Higashi can use wind projectiles while he isn't a Hakkesshu. Why not Shingo? They could come out with some bullshit reason like he received orochi's energy in him but his heart was too pure 4 orochi to control him, it got mixed with his ki that allowed him to let out these unique blue colored flames. The question of how were the kusanagi and yasakani clan members able to produce flames at first remains unsolved. Maybe Shingo is the key to that answer.
Its pyrokinetic powers only inherited or you can learn them in the KOF universe? Mai, Ralf Jones and even Andy Bogard seen to have some pyrokinetic abilities. Hell, lightning abilities seen to be even harder to have, like, the only names that comes to mind is Benimaru, Geese and maybe Athena.
@@keondramcintyre3444 Oh ok. I tough elemental abilities in the king of fighters worked like naruto. You Only have if you inherited just like the sharingan. Or did some weird experiments.
Ralf and Kevin Rian(GMOTW) can just punch really hard they make explosions. Hell, Kevin is actually Blue Mary's cousin. Shingo's flames is nothing but his own flames me made through his hard work, willpower and determination.😶
I think if SNK will not Change SHINGO'S Powerful and Impactful Punches they will just add Blue Fire to his Punch Motions. It might be possible that SHINGO'S Blue Fire will be similar to what LUKE from STREET FIGHTER 5 and 6 has. LUKE also have Powerful Punches and when he uses his Fist to attack the Focused Flames are visible in his Attack.
sorry I'll use Google translate to share what I think about it:Shingo will have fire moves but it won't be like kyo and yori the flames should probably replace the critial hit and maybe they will appear in his climax move.And I think like this "even though he was a normal idiot he trained harder worked hard to get it so I think it's only fair that he can use it".About the power of temporal manipulation maybe put a little something because SNK likes to put references to anime and other games and we don't know if they're going to change Shingo's original voice actor or they're going to keep it more if they keep it, probably (I'm not talking for sure) there will be some move, special move super move or joke making a reference to this.
I mean why would he not be a fire user? The story he went through is taking him in that direction. Heck, he can be a fire user and NOT be a Kyo clone or be a mix of his unique fighting style with some blue flames. I personally would like to see him take the Dan route where his personality is what makes him stand out. He won't be shooting fireballs but it would be cool if his supers allowed him to use more of the fire he might have gotten from his time in the past. Or even try and replicate the other fighters fighting style (the people he faced in the past) You can go in so many ways with Shingo. Allowing him to have fire in some way would push his story and show it's not all for nothing and its not just a joke.
This Maiden manga basically like Non-canon old one In the end of KOF 97, when Kyo and Iori try to finish Orochi, Kyo secretly use power of scared sword to send Shingo back to the time when Yagami clan first make contact of Orochi. And put little power of flame in Shingo When he got in the past, he see all 3 clans fight with Orochi (Eight head snake form) and save Yuki's ancestor by using Kusanagi's move Iori's ancestor came to place that seal Orochi, got caught and put to jail, here he got mind-break by Goenitz voice that his wife got tortute and kill by Kusanagi, angry then he accept to break seal change his clan to Yagami and flame became purple All Hakkesshu releash rush to Kusanagi but got sealed again by Shingo, this time Shingo using Shiki Orochinagi with red flame appear on his finger Shingo's critical strike can freeze enimies, he used it to defeate Omega Rugal in 98
Same here. I don't want to shingo to have new flames. Rather like one of the comments "critical attack" which is essences of time or prove his ability to slow down time or time travel.😊
I believe Shingo should not be able to produce fire, it would be out of his character... Hmmm maybe though a future desperation move of kof 15 could include some fire..!
I like what Shingo represents. There is a myth in fighting games that you NEED perfect execution to get anywhere. It's why alot of people avoid the genre. Truth is, you don't need perfect execution. Shingo lacks finesse, and still gets pretty far. Even has a championship under his belt. It's almost like he's DESIGNED around dispelling that myth. Maybe not in the beginning, but I think that's what he is now.
👏👏👏
Great comment!
I couldn’t agree more with you on this. it’s not about being perfect. It’s about giving it your best shot even when you know you’ll lose!
Shingo is a talented individual as well. He is just a newbie in the scene who needs to train, while everyone else had been training from childhood.
It's like SNK is telling people that they might be very good but they will never know if they don't try the games
I like to think that maybe that blue fire was a form of Ki? In the KOF14 manga, it was shown that Ki could be shaped by the user. Perhaps Shingo's eternal fan boy spirit just shapes his Ki to that of a fire-like aura? lol
Thought the same. Would be a happy compromise if anything.
Maybe its a nod to his "critical mechanic" in the old game? Which mean, magai got hit by a lucky stroke critical punch of shingo, it will be cool if 15 shingo had blue fire effect everytime he do critical hits
This could also be a char progression lore, as shingo werent able to properly control his new blue flame power (thus it only happen on accident/on crit only), also shingo is well deserved at this point to achieve his dream of getting his own flame especially after all of his struggle, hardwork, and char progression since 97
He deserved that power up (ofc, doesnt mean he need to be a kyo clone, but his own firestyle technique), blue flame on ex move only or crit only will be a sick addition to 15 shingo
@@ladjiel agreed. Dude has been working at this shit for so many years that no one could logically try to argue that he doesn’t deserve it at this point
There are a lot of fire users in KOF anyway. It's not unique to Kyo and Iori so why not Shingo. Maybe not as fire heavy on the specials because he'd be too much of a Saisyu/Kyo clone, but like one flame special.
Given Shingo's name, it's smoke.😶
Yeah, for how normal this guy is lorewise, his damage output is undoubtedly impressive. Adding Crits mechanic into the mix as for how goofy he is was a nice touch and I agree should comeback as his unique gimmick.
Yep. That would be awesome!
I think his new "blue flame" should be limited to his DM's, EX Critical hits, and his Climax Super.
We may have a lot of fire users by now but Shingo is that one I feel deserves an exception since he worked so hard to make it to this point.
Maybe have them be animations related to KOF XIII Iori's moveset as a homage.🙏🥋🔥
One of those points is true.😶
I'm pretty torn on the one hand we have enough fire user's in Kof. On the other if anyone deserves a pass for being a fire user it's Shingo. His whole goal was to produce his own flame and now he has one that burns even hotter than Kyo's! If anybody should get a pass for being a fire user it's Shingo!!!!
I don't want Blue Flames,SNK....
I want CRITICAL HITS!
Green,pretty and fair Critical Hits,with screen shaking and the little pause.
Yo! Thar would be epic
I want both
Hire this guy, SNK.
We got those!😶
I believe that best option is to use the blue flames in his climax super as a small nod to the gaiden manga, other than that there is no need to change him to a full on fire user.
This I agree with. Honestly, if they mixed it in it would do a lot for his character and show his growth.
It would be cool if he copied some of the other moves from people in the past as another nod. Him having an SF5 dan treatment would be sick imo 🔥
If not blue fire, making him with blue sparks every hit cuss of friction would be nasty.
I'm rooting for the blue flames to show up only on his climax. Like an ultimate power that even himself doesn't know how to trigger at will, but it would be a cool payoff for all his efforts along the years and lore coherent. Apart from that, it pleases me that Shingo has always been a fun and effective character even looking a bit clumsy, but boy is he hard working
I totally agree with you.
Normal character, with critical hits for his hard training, and a ki manifestation during climax would be just perfect!
I can agree with that too!
I’ve actually read the manga that was mentioned it was quite a interesting read. It was interesting to see shingo as a main character but also knowing he has siblings. The blue flames would be cool to see as a secret ultimate attack in kof 15 but then again who knows.
I think it'd be sick if they made a nod to the manga on his climax animation at least
Like have him punch with the blue flame just against iori or the awakened orochi team
Being so fucking strong and hardworking you create flames through sheer willpower is pretty sick
The best ending for Shingo was when Saisyu offered to mentor him in the NESTS saga (after Kyo discourages him to stop fighting) of 2K1.
He even teams up with his new master and Kula in a later KOF game to reflect this. In 2K3 he finally gets his flame. But only if he's not teamed up with Goro and Benimaru. And at random. LOL.
I'm honestly just happy to see Shingo again. It's been a while since his last appearance in main KOF.
It seems that Shingo's blue flame also has a purifying quality that nullifies the effect of the cursed Orochi flame (and riot of the blood).
That's gonna be beneficial to Iori and Leona.😶
I actually read the gaiden at some point it was very intersting , imo whether or not shingo pulls out the blue flames in XV i don't mind as long as he has updated and stronger moveset than before (time manipulation could be the biggest expectation shattering news in XV so far tbh) and as for when he stands i suppose he will team up with either saisyu and daimon or maybe kim and kensou for the asian alliance team (which was the case in 02UM with jhun and lin) anyway let's buckle up for season 2 💥💥💥💥
Since he met Iori's ancestors I would think he will have some of the yasakani's moves like KOFXIII Iori's move set or Iori's 3 quarter circle back uppercuts
That might be the case.
Sounds awesome physical moves are just as cool in KOF as the special powers so hope they take that route
Imagine Shingo coming with some of KOF 13 Iori's moves, that'd be sick
iori + kyo without flames but more brute power
@@reim1 A rougher version of the Kusanagi style, I hope it doesn't insult Iori enough for him to beat up Shingo....
Of course we don’t want another Kyo clone, but we don’t want Shingo’s dream to go unanswered. A compromise is to only have the Blue flames in the Climax super (let’s be real, the 2002 UM desperation super is too slow, especially considering the faster supers of K’, Kula, and Ángel from 2002 UM to XV).
I would like Blue flame to be a special gimmick... It's activated at a random time or works against a specific opponent.
I can imagine him holding a concealed lighter to fool the others that he can control flames. XV climax
I like your idea
That's something he would do (He already did it).
Wow, well done Shoryu! Any stories involving Shingo is worth the watch! Honestly, now I can't wait to see Shingo in the new game! Even if it was a dream -or a concussion- it would be sweet to see him powered up from the experience. You have a good point, there are too many fire users in the game as is. It would be awesome if he gained the technique but spurned the power because his critical hits were his own style.
Thanks for the vid!
Hope you enjoy it!
Critical hit is incidentally a very cool time stop visual effect in Dio's fashion
I am glad I am not the only one who doesn't want to see Shingo becoming a Fire User.
We have so many fire users in KOF already.
Shingo having flames (or any super powers) would remove what made Shingo so special.
It would be like Stryker from Mortal Kombat having Super Powers 🙁
I like the Underdog Type of character in fighing games.
Characters that don't need powers to help.
Besides, Shingo is already a skilled fighter.
I mean he was special the fact he got so far on his own was good and the fact he trained for years (IRL and in the series) to get flames.
He never got it and we always are teased would feel worthless if he never reached that goal. I would understand if his character naturally made that realization and said (I give up on trying to do blah blah)
But we never got that or he ever had that feeling of not achieving that goal.
Like, Look at Dan from Street Fighter how he plays in SF5 is a perfect evolution of his character. If Dan became a pro fighter it would defeat his character. Like him and Shingo, both have amazing potential.
Shingo should have some level of flames but it shouldn't overrule his character and growth over the years he existed in KOF.
Shingo's type of fire is different form other characters given that he can only punch and kick with it. Hell, I know want to see him with his own flames because it's something he earned and it'll give some forms of development to his character and fighting style. ( I like that he made his own techniques using the Kusanagi martial arts as a base.)
If shingo were to stop time will it be a cinematic super or a super that in "jojo's bizarre adventures heritage for the future" that dio can move freely when time is stopped?
I see what you did there
The Manga may be about Shingo, but it's a Good thing we got to see a bit of Lore about the "Regalia of Japan" Era that the whole KOF series was based on,
I always wondered why there has never been a Prequel KOF Game before, like how "Street Fighter" does it in the Alpha series, 4 and even 5 which were before SF3 until SF6 finally made past it.
Well, if you think about it, every time he does a Counter move, the screen freezes for a less of a second (time stop?), but of course it can be the visual effect of a powerful hit.
Great video.
I agree with you, I want to see Shingo being the strongest "normal" person, you know, having a healthy rivalry with the likes of Ralph Jones, Antonov, etc.
Thank you!
Awesome
I hope his hadouken heavy punch in 97 also returns
You know the one we're elbow hits first followed by left or right punch XD
And the shinggo kick was pretty awesome as always
I'm pretty sure that's a staple move in his move list.
Shingo's Critical Hits temporarily freeze the screen. Shingo has a desparate move that allowed him "TIME" to read his notes and finish his attack
SHINGO ALREADY HAD TIME POWERS FROM THE START. HOW HAVE WE BEEN SO BLIND
Well there's a possibility that his strange blue fire is not exactly like the Kusanagi's. About the critical hits...some characters can give a critical hit so hard that the opponent's almost set on fire in the contact and they are not fire users (Ralf Jones for example). Could be the case for Shingo, or something like that. Then it could still he linked to time manipulation. Remember Saiki could use time and he had those strange black flames mayne it wasn't exactly fire. Leaving Shingo without a very special ability wouldn't be fair when there are people like Terry who got very strong without having genetic abilities (well...nothing says Terry's not related to the Heinlein family, Rock's mother's family, and they seem to have some genetic abilities that gives them strange blue flames, for example Rock and his uncle Kain). With so many martial artists who develop very powerful abilities just with their ki...Shingo coups develop his own flame-alike attack and still keep his critical hits...that would actually make him very dangerous.
Shingo is like the Rock Lee of KOF, a normal, goofy guy who's very strong and durable due to training alone. Also, Shingo's flames were listed on his KOF wiki page as a temporary way to power his physical attacks only. If the flames are canon, it'll only boost his physical attacks and have no projectiles. Hell, that might be the only way his critical hits can come back.😶
Personally, I don't want Shingo to have the flames, it'll mean so much more seeing him as one the few badass normal characters in fighting games despite being goofy. But you know what? Goofy doesn't equal weak. Look at Goku.😶
@@keondramcintyre3444 And for the same reason as yours, I want to see him having weak sparks of flames to signify his growth and potencial of manipulating ki.
@@sonicplays8740 We might see a actual Burning Shingo. I looked into this flame more since this was uploaded, and I'm now all in for Shingo having his own flames for multiple reasons. Mainly because he's the only fighter who actually made his flames and actually earn it. Plus, it'll add development to his character and fighting style since his flames are nothing like others.😶
Shingo can use the blue flames in EX attacks (not all) and his Climax super. Otherwise keep his play style the way it's been in older KOF games
As much as I'd like to see some beautiful blue flames in future KOF installments, I agree with ShoryuGame that Shingo should not have any flame powers. We don't need another Kyo clone and another flame user. Maybe a good character arc for Shingo would be that he has the potential to create flames, but he drops that pursuit to create his own unique abilities that don't involve flames. Him gaining flames would just mean that he's incapable of breaking out of Kyo's shadow.
Exactly my thought!
Thanks, you are a real Kof scholar!!! Great video!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
If Shingo can stop time, that means his super moves where he checks his notebook and his enemy doesn't move at all could genuinely be more than just a joke
I checked that super. The enemy can still move actually when Shingo checks his notes.
@ShoryuGame t's not time stop, it's hit stun! Those 4 hits were so hard it made the opponent so dizzy that Shingo can quickly go through his note book to know how to finish his special!😶
Considering how XIV and XV deal with time and space entities, it could be something with Verse and the buildup to Otoma=Raga that caused portals through time and space to appear around the world, and Shingo was just one of those (un)fortunate people who happened to be near said portals.
That is one way to explain it if they want to make Shingo's time adventure canonized, I suppose. The audience will know the cause of the time portals, but Shingo will not.
It could be the case.
@@ShoryuGame yes it is, Magai's wife says it
I absolutely agree with you. The only way I see him using flames is if it's rather being used in his core kit, leave it as a bonus for his HDM
As much as I hope Shingo will one day be able to learn the flame arts, I think you're right about Shingo's appeal being just a strong "avarage guy". Maybe if his moveset would stay the same, but in his level 3 super he does have control over flames?
I wouldn't mind that.
I have to agree with you about Shingo not getting fire powers. Although, that saga was cool, I think giving him fire powers will kinda diminish the entire point of his character and might just make him an echo fighter. Then again, KOFXV’s motto is Shatter All Expectations. Who knows? Thank for sharing this story with us, Shoryugame!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can tell that you really love Shingo. XD
Shingo with blue flames would be 🔥
I really do hope that in Canon it turns out that his element isn’t fire but light. Would fit his personality and story pretty well in my opinion! In a way it perfectly links with Kusanagi’s question about how the first fire user came to be. Perhaps originally it was an ability born from determination and training after years of looking for the *_light_* at the end of the tunnel
When Saisyu foreshadow everything to KOF XV that far... Damn
Shingo is such an awesome character.
It will be great to see Shingo in kof 15 I can't wait I am so hype
Shingo is what a massive KOF fan would look like and I love him for it
Awesome lore for Shingo and Make the Analysis the Team Samurai in KOF XV Looking forward to it.
100% agree with you on a flameless Shingo.
Definitely don't need another fire user!
I agree I don't want Shingo to be a Fire User. However, I still want him to be able to produce fire; I just believe it should be limited to his Climax Super.
That, and no projectiles! The KOF mentioned that his flames only powered his physical attacks.😶
I hole they use his blue flames in his level 3 as for his critical hits, I hope satisfying slowdown effect.
Thanks for adding more light to the Manhas, it's very often that I see them
Blue flames are hype
1. More hyped for shingo then I was for the whole awakened orochi team
2. I agree with you about Not making him a fire user but I would be down to have his climax super be a blue flame punch like in the story.
3. I could also see them using the blue flames to represent the critical hits while his non critical hits are just normal.
Great content brother, keep uploading ❤️
Thank you 🙌
Shingo might have witnessed a memory of the past rather then actually traveling back in time.
Well, here's what I think of how Shingo knows about the existence of Mature and Vice and how he knows they're both Hakkesshu.
When Chizuru asked for his help in teaming up with Kyo and Iori in his place after losing her sacred treasure to Ash Crimson before the events of KOF XI began, she told him all about Orochi, about the three clans and why this feud between the Kusanagi and the Yagami exists to this day.
And when the two went to see the finals of KOF XIII together with the audience, Chizuru seeing who Iori teamed up with to enter the tournament, she must have told Shingo about Mature and Vice and that they are Hakkesshu, the enemies of the Yata, Kusanagi and Yasakani clans. It is because of this that Shingo recognized them in the manga, Chizuru told him everything she knew about these two snakes during the events of Tales of Ash.
Makes logical sense to be fair.😶
just a friendly reminder that Shingo has a KOF cannon victory under his belt (kof 99). something that Athena, KIm, Terry and Iori couldn't
Terry has 3 titles (but in the Fatal Fury series). You're right about the others though.
didn't realize this was a lore video. thought it was another playthrough.
I don’t want Shingo to become a fire user, but I would be fine with his new climax super including the blue flames as a reference! Other than that, leave the flames out. He’s supposed to be our Everyman but I think he’s earned just one fiery super move lol
Just this once anyways. He’s been through enough and has been gone for over a decade.
Shingo using za warudo as a climax in xv would be perfection
When you started reading the comic, I was hoping that Shingo’s goofiness would have been the cause of the clan’s rivalry somehow 😂. THAT would have been hilarious, and yet would have made Shinto hold a dark secret 🤫.
I'm not sure I would've liked it, but it would've been funny. Too bad he doesn't have more involvement with the events of the past.
@@ShoryuGame That can be his character arc if they are changing things. Him having more involvement because he slips back and forth. Then he can have a connection to Ash Crimson. Something about that blue flame. The only color left is yellow fire.
I think blue flames would be cool in the climax move or something
The moment you mentioned “time manipulation”, I thought of only one (VERY ironic) thing:
“ZA WARUDO!!”
I've always depicted Shingo as optimistic pure muscle. Unrefined skills but big determination. He can get by special power users with just all that. He's already strong as he is already.
Maybe they'll give Shingo the Sean treatment from SF, the flames being a super-only move.
Now about the timeline.
Ever since the release of King of Fighters manga comics in the 90's and 2000's about the Orochi saga, SNK fans stated that the 1800 years ago occured in the year 194 A.D. and 660 years ago in the year 854 A.D. But now with the confirmation of KOF GAIDEN Manga about the timeline, the timeline of this is based of the original and realife event such as 1800 years ago occured in the year 670 A.D. and 660 years ago in the year 1338 after the fall of Kamakaura Shogunate era (Great work). In original story mentioned both by Saisyu and Chizuru said that Magai was jealous of Yamato being the Hero and want it to gaine more power, but in gaiden Magai was a little bit jealous on him and he didn't tried to open the seal it was Yakumo possesed by Goenitz. Then again in original was mentioned that after he was arrested by Yamato for open the seal he talked to Orochi about his wife been killed by Yamato (but it was a lie) then make the bloodpact, but in gaiden showed that Magai wasn't arrested by Yamato, he was by the authorities for so called cooperation to help the emperor to portect Japan from invaders (I think and I don't like it that the Kusanagi, Yagami and Yata been tools of War), but failed, then been forced by Yakumo to make the bloodpact and Yakumo tells the truth about the death of Magai's brother. Also once that Magai and Yamato knows the plan of Hakkeshu, there are two posdibilities about the story. Either they written a fake journal for the next gen of the 3 clans and the truth journal are written and hiding in plain sight, either they written the truth journal for next gen of 20th. Century (For Saisyu and Iori's father) and not telling to Kyo and Iori until the time comes for the right moment...or....Everything is a lie. Lol (just kidding about everything is a lie but the rest are only two options). When the world is a Doublethink, when the years are 2+2=5. And when their fathers are hiding to their sons and friends many secrets.
This is very interesting lore and story of Shingo KOF Gaiden so Snk should this lore Cannon in next games of KOF series
I agree with you, I don't want Shingo to use pyrokinesis, but I think time manipulation might be too much for him...although it could be cool to see him do a move like MvC2 Cable's Time Flip.
As funny as it sounds, I defeated Orochi in KOF 97, on my PS4, by placing him first, because I was not confident that I would defeat Orochi. I got the Gold Trophy, "Apocalypse Denied" (Defeat Orochi with a single character), and the screen capture is Orochi suspended in the air, with Shingo at the tail end of an attack doing an afterimage!
Shingo saves the world!!!!! 😅🤣
That's a cool screen shot!
Shingo's secret? Two guns that he keeps packing
Deep red: 600-800 °C (1112-1800 °F) (Nameless)
Orange: 1100 °C (2012 °F) (Kyo, K')
Blue: 1400-1650 °C (2600-3000 °F) (Shingo maybe)
Purple: 39400 °C (71000 °F) (Iori, Chris)
Kyo's & K's Orange Flames are weaker than Iori's & Chris's Purple Flames. Shingo on the other hand we don't know which color of his flames will be in XV. Even if was mentioned in manga. Red and Orange Flames represents life, Purple flames represents poison and death but the Blue one...for me represents peace and purity and like water. Yes Shingo will have the flames like Kyo not Blue one. Maybe Iori's sister has it the Blue one 'cause during the Orochi Saga while Iori was occupied maybe she maked in secret a ritual of exorcise with the help of Chizuru but outside of Japan, thats my opinion and my theory. Plus i garantee that the manga is completly canon and a bit spoiler for ch. 10 of Gaiden (sorry). Magai regained his senses, he teamed with Yamato and defeated Yakumo possesed by Goenitz but still the Hakkeshu controls Yasakani/Yagami, and if my theory is correct or wait...I tell this in few seconds later. Shingo returned to present, he want it to tell Iori about his ancestor but Iori attacked him and laugh like an arrogant. Thats all (I hate this ending, I thought if Iori was listening to Shingo what really happend for real than attack him, then he can change his mind to not have the purple flames anymore and have a regular flame.) One thing. DIO: ZA WARDO. TOKI YO TOMARE....RODA ROLLA DA. MUDADADADADADADA MUDA. SOSHITE TOKI WA UGOKIDASU. KOREGA ZA WARDO DA. SHINE KAKYOIN.
Shingo shouting "The world" during his climax super in XV... I would LOVE to see that, even if he does it without reason.
@@ShoryuGame WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
You missed some important things about that manga. Magai's wife says that a time-paradox or a change in the future won't happen because Shingo's "world" and their world are not the same (this means Shingo were in a different timeline or another universe) and she says "our worlds are not the same but a STRANGE power managed to CONNECT them", if you remember that manga takes place after KOF XIV events and in Ash's team story Dolores says "The Crucible of the Souls CONNECTS all universes and makes all possibilities to converge". The point here is Shingo has no time power or something and that past wasn't the "original" (maybe another timeline or universe but im inclined it was another universe), that's why Mature and Vice didn't recognize him.
They wouldn't be able to recognize him in anyway since it's their first time seeing him. But Shingo should've recognized them IF he met them in the present, which he didn't as I explained.
@@ShoryuGame i mean in a "special interaction" in KOF UM like Rugal and Chris but the manga says that Shingo were not in the same world and it was by the current plot (Otoma-Raga).
I agree but i think for ultimates I'll accept one blue flame punch. Or have his critical attacks emit blue flames.
In 98 i remember picking him alot since he's like kyo but without powers.
Shingo needs to show up as a kind of Saiyaman style hero, alongside May Lee xD
no but think about it. they make the gaiden canon and over haul his moveset to be a mix of kyo like and flameless iori type moves
and for his climax he has the burning shingo but before the big punch at the end you see just a spark of the blue flame
or make the critical hits a status buff super like a install XD
We all know Shingo’s true ability is STANDO POWAH
You saying Shingo is voice by Kururu!? Shit I DID NOT KNOW THAT!
I hope that he'll use his blue flame in his level 3 only
I guess this confirms that Shingo is the Axl Low of KoF... Besides Billy Kane...
Hard Work > Being the chosen one.
Anyway, when K9999 returned as Krohnen, one of the things I really dislike is how SNK remove his psychic powers.
His psychic abilities was one of the reasons why I prefer K9999 over Nameless and what made him unique compare to other 'Kyo Clones' (even if K9999 is NOT an actual clone)
Now Krohnen is like Nameless, another fire user, that's lame.
There about 18 fire usersin lof now considering now k9999 is fire user now😐. k9999 is just nameless with normal orange flames . They really nerfed him with the removal of his psychic powers.
There are lot of abilities not explored in the franchise enough .like ice,water,lightning,psychic,light, air, Technology, Dark magic like Dou lon and earth but the king and queen of that belongs to Mukai and Delores .
At this point Fire user in kof are boring .😂. It's an excuse to solve all problems. Orochi-call iori and kyo.
Also Snk should stop putting Orochi back into main plot and give other villains spotlight hence why those from the past are the most boring villains despite having the one of the best designs. Alot of potential wasted on these guys.
Then the Nest Saga having the best villains in the franchise . Humans proving to be a world threat without the aid of ancient power.
The Orochi saga having the most evil villains in saga. with likes of Genitz and Orochi by damging the lifehoods of Hiedern,Leona and Chizuru.
Aside from that I really need to read this manga.
But thinking about it, who are the team, if we're going manga reference, seeing that Vice, and Mature there, maybe that's the team?
Second idea is Shingo, Saisyu, and maybe Maki? (since she's kind of exists because of Verse)
Last one is the classic team pupils, Shingo, May Lee, and Marco Rodriguez.
Time control would be pretty cool. I don't think any fighter in the series have that power in the games right now 🤔 but please keep his critical hit ✨💥🙏🏾 it's bone breaking
They should straight up make shingo the protag of the next arc. That'll be so cool
I'd love to see that.
Maybe the reason Shingo went back in time is because of Verse’s effect in time and space? And Shingo was just unlucky enough to be sucked in a random time space distortion. That’s just my theory as to how Shingo managed to go back in time since I think SNK is trying to push flame Shingo
Shingo finally producing flames and defeating kyo would be pretty cool
Defeating Kyo WITHOUT flames would be cooler!
Damn right!
Here's what I think: Shingo-kun might be a water-style element user. What he manifest isn't fire but water instead.
He called it blue flame though.
Lol could you imagine if he did get tine powers and he LOOKS strong but only cause he spamming the time stop/slow on his opponents. Therefore to the unaware making it appear he is strong.
I only want blue flames for his Climax, like the flames of one miracle, same angle and intensity as the manga scene, let him achieve his long wished dream and objective to get close to kusanagi, i mean sakura was able to do some weird ass looking hadoken as well after all so why not let Shingo get some badass features as well.
Ki is different, it is a power present in everyone one and you unlock it through training.
@@djantouahmed7319 How about the "hamon" , the one we talk in series like Jojo or jujutsu kaisen. Somehow that also can be considered as some kind of ki right? But it allows you somehow to transform ur ki into elemental energy. Joe Higashi can use wind projectiles while he isn't a Hakkesshu. Why not Shingo? They could come out with some bullshit reason like he received orochi's energy in him but his heart was too pure 4 orochi to control him, it got mixed with his ki that allowed him to let out these unique blue colored flames. The question of how were the kusanagi and yasakani clan members able to produce flames at first remains unsolved. Maybe Shingo is the key to that answer.
I DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD KING OF FIGHTERS MANGA. THAT WAS A GOOD STORYLINE.
I just want his Critical Hits back!
Its pyrokinetic powers only inherited or you can learn them in the KOF universe? Mai, Ralf Jones and even Andy Bogard seen to have some pyrokinetic abilities. Hell, lightning abilities seen to be even harder to have, like, the only names that comes to mind is Benimaru, Geese and maybe Athena.
It's hereditary for the Shiranuri clan, but Andy was taught in a different way. Hell, Andy's fire more like ki than actually fire.😶
@@keondramcintyre3444 And geese fire attack in his deadly rave? Inherited or some weird ki ability? Asking because is cool to hear some theories...
Ki ability for Geese, Inherited by Rock.😶
@@keondramcintyre3444 Oh ok. I tough elemental abilities in the king of fighters worked like naruto. You Only have if you inherited just like the sharingan. Or did some weird experiments.
Ralf and Kevin Rian(GMOTW) can just punch really hard they make explosions. Hell, Kevin is actually Blue Mary's cousin. Shingo's flames is nothing but his own flames me made through his hard work, willpower and determination.😶
He WILL have it
I think if SNK will not Change SHINGO'S Powerful and Impactful Punches they will just add Blue Fire to his Punch Motions.
It might be possible that SHINGO'S Blue Fire will be similar to what LUKE from STREET FIGHTER 5 and 6 has. LUKE also have Powerful Punches and when he uses his Fist to attack the Focused Flames are visible in his Attack.
You thought it was DIO?... IT WAS ME... SHINGO!
😐
sorry I'll use Google translate to share what I think about it:Shingo will have fire moves but it won't be like kyo and yori the flames should probably replace the critial hit and maybe they will appear in his climax move.And I think like this "even though he was a normal idiot he trained harder worked hard to get it so I think it's only fair that he can use it".About the power of temporal manipulation maybe put a little something because SNK likes to put references to anime and other games and we don't know if they're going to change Shingo's original voice actor or they're going to keep it more if they keep it, probably (I'm not talking for sure) there will be some move, special move super move or joke making a reference to this.
I find with the blue flames if they are limited to his super and that's it.
Hahahaha, I just love Shingo, to the point my second online nick became Dark.Shingo, lol
He should evolve. Flame or not.
I mean why would he not be a fire user? The story he went through is taking him in that direction.
Heck, he can be a fire user and NOT be a Kyo clone or be a mix of his unique fighting style with some blue flames.
I personally would like to see him take the Dan route where his personality is what makes him stand out.
He won't be shooting fireballs but it would be cool if his supers allowed him to use more of the fire he might have gotten from his time in the past. Or even try and replicate the other fighters fighting style (the people he faced in the past)
You can go in so many ways with Shingo. Allowing him to have fire in some way would push his story and show it's not all for nothing and its not just a joke.
I better see shingo's blue fire moves and crits
This Maiden manga basically like Non-canon old one
In the end of KOF 97, when Kyo and Iori try to finish Orochi, Kyo secretly use power of scared sword to send Shingo back to the time when Yagami clan first make contact of Orochi. And put little power of flame in Shingo
When he got in the past, he see all 3 clans fight with Orochi (Eight head snake form) and save Yuki's ancestor by using Kusanagi's move
Iori's ancestor came to place that seal Orochi, got caught and put to jail, here he got mind-break by Goenitz voice that his wife got tortute and kill by Kusanagi, angry then he accept to break seal change his clan to Yagami and flame became purple
All Hakkesshu releash rush to Kusanagi but got sealed again by Shingo, this time Shingo using Shiki Orochinagi with red flame appear on his finger
Shingo's critical strike can freeze enimies, he used it to defeate Omega Rugal in 98
Bruh it's official canon
Same here. I don't want to shingo to have new flames. Rather like one of the comments "critical attack" which is essences of time or prove his ability to slow down time or time travel.😊
I believe Shingo should not be able to produce fire, it would be out of his character... Hmmm maybe though a future desperation move of kof 15 could include some fire..!
