Wan-fu is headed to Samurai Shodown as DLC this week

A pillar of the community

SNK has dropped a trailer for the next DLC character headed to its dramatic fighting title Samurai Shodown, and while most of the SamSho roster are adept with ruthless b♛laded weaponry, this next combatant is muc♏h more at home with a solid bit of garden decor.

Wan-fu, who made their series debut way back in 1994’s Samurai Shodown II, is one of the franchise’s lesser-known characters, having only featured in a handful of series entries. A proponent of “power”, this Chinese warrior is on a mission to find and defeat the strongest fighters in existence.

While Wan-fu has dabbled with a variety of different weaponry over the years, in this particular iteration of Samurai Shodown he is coming equipped with a huge, ornate, stone pillar. This obviously makes Wan-fu’s fighting style somewhat deliberate in movement and speed, but also makes his attacks extremely damaging. Wan-fu will be made available to purchase in-game on December 18.

Samurai Shodown is available now on PS4 and Xbox One. A Nintendo Switch port will arrive i꧑n the west in early 2020, with a PC port also expected in the near future.
