Shaolin [PS1] - play as Luo Tai's Daughter with Boss style
38This is a demonstration of Luo Tai's Daughter with her Boss style in the PS1 game Shaolin / Lord of Fist. Read on below for more information...
First of all, you need to know that this game has a large number of characters... but they are all just models. The 'true' character select comes in the form of the 6 fighting styles you can choose from - so technically you get 6 different playable 'characters'.
Lao Tai's Daughter is the final boss you face in the Hung Gar story mode (the one where you have to find the most beautiful girl in China). When you fight her (and her 2 other clones) at the end of this story mode, she uses the completely unique 7th fighting style. This fighting style is used exclusively for the CPU final bosses, which I'll refer to it as the Boss style.
Luo Tai's Daughter is an unlockable playable character model, however, the Boss fighting style mode (the 7th fighting style) is non-selectable.
Therefore by using alternative methods to select the Boss style, you are technically controlling an unplayable character.
===== About the Boss style =====
The Boss style seems to have a mixture of the other 6 regular style's moves, but I do think there are some completely unique moves in it that I haven't seen in the other regular styles. The standing stance of this style is definitely unique.
===== Additional Information =====
---- The game is known as Lord of Fist in Japan.
---- The game was only released in Japan and Europe. There is no US version of the game.
---- On the character select screen, when you select the Boss style, the graphics icon for it is flawed. This is obviously because this style is not meant to be selected by the player.
---- If you use Luo Tai's Daughter with Boss style in Versus mode and win a match, then for some reason after the winning pose it locks the game.
---- As mentioned earlier, there are a few completely unique moves you get in this Boss style that you don't get within the other 6 regular styles.
---- Her father's name is spelled wrongly on the VS screen.
===== Did you know? =====
In the Japanese version of the game (Lord Of Fist), the model/skin character used for Luo Tai's Daughter is different - instead it is originally the woman with the long ginger hair and gold top that plays the role of Luo Tai's Daughter.
The Anna Williams model/skin plays the role of Xu Bing instead. In the European version, these roles are swapped. I think it was a good choice to do this because the Anna Williams model/skin does suit the role of being Lao Tai's daughter better as she looks the more 'Asian' when compared to the woman with the ginger hair/gold top.
===== About Shaolin =====
Shaolin is a cool game which combines the elements of an RPG and fighting game. The game is set in China and you basically have 6 stories (each of them being the 6 different fighting styles) to choose from and play through for story mode. You start off as a kid, and grow up as you progress! The fighting parts of the game definitely require strategy, time, patience and leveling up to be successful.
