12This is a playthrough using Jin Chonshu in the Arcade version of Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory. Read on below for more information...
Jin Chonshu is the main boss of the game. He is a non-selectable character in both the Neo-Geo MVS and AES versions of it.
===== JIN CHONSHU STORY =====
He is the younger twin brother of Jin Chonrei. Their father told them that one of their ancient ancestors was Qin Wang Long, who was a celebrated General of the founder and ruler of the Qin dynasty, Qin Shi Huang. Their father convinced them that they had the same blood as Long, and soon passed away. The brothers were then left to fend for and support themselves and live up to the family name. When they were fourteen, an attack from bullies left them in a bad state on the streets. Once they lost consciousness, two spirits of their 2200-year-old ancestors possessed their bodies.
The spirit that possessed Chonshu was known as Qin Hai Long, making the boy into a fearsome fighter in combat. The spirit that possessed Chonrei was Qin Kong Long who was Hai Long's older brother. Kong Long and Hai Long were the sons of Wang Long, who wrote the Jin scrolls during the Qin Dynasty. The brothers now seek to gather all three scrolls, which they believe will resurrect them in immortal bodies and allow them to conquer the world.
===== FIGHTING STYLE =====
His fighting style is named Teiou Ken/Diwang Quan, also known as Sovereign Fist, which consist of moves that resemble Kung Fu.
===== DESIGN =====
According to an issue of Neo Geo Freak, his brother Chonrei was originally designed to be a person with split-personalities - a masculine and feminine side. However, the designers favored both sides equally so they abandoned this concept and created a twin brother (Chonshu) to have the feminine side.
===== ABOUT JIN CHONSHU =====
Gameplay-wise, he is basically the weaker version of Chonrei... it's kind of like the Akuma and Shin Akuma situation. Or if you know your fighting games, even more accurately it's like the situation between Abel and Veil from Toshinden 3.
Chonrei's Life Absorb special move is Chonshu's super move. Chonshu does have a better version of the Life Absorb move as his hidden super move though. Chonshu does not have the Projectile Reflector or the Spark Fireball that Chonrei has. Chonshu's fireball also comes out slower and recovers slower.
===== TECHNICAL INFORMATION =====
---- On the character select screen, his "portrait/icon" position is at the bottom right. Obviously as an non-selectable character, you won't see this and the position is not normally accessible.
---- When playing as him in a 1P game, you do not get the Yamazaki "accident" fight midway through the route.
---- When playing as him in a 1p game, you do not get any pre-fight cutscenes, such as the ones with Yamazaki and Chonshu at the end.
---- If you beat the game with him, he does not have an ending.
---- Despite being a non-selectable character, he actually has an alternate colour palette.
---- Despite being a non-selectable character, he operates perfectly on the Continue screen and can appear on the name entry screen.
---- He has some boss properties. Such examples being that he doesn't have any jumping punches; his Elbow Charge Throw special move being fast and overpowered; and some punches that hit twice.
===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====
---- He is essentially a "headswap" character of Chonrei.
---- The game is known as Garou Densetsu 3: Haruka-naru Tatakai in Japan.
