Who knew! Found this Virtua Fighter animation of Akira's victory pose hidden away inside What's Shenmue.

Great find! I'm loving all your discoveries bud. Would be funny for someone to make a mod video of Ryo screaming at everyone with this animation :D

Ryo already has an animation (where he recovers from his fighting stance), so in theory, could that be replaced?

Another great find! It looks really funny when Ryo does it. It's just so unlike him, something he would never do.
That makes it all the more enjoyable.

Should be possible in theory! It turns out to be a bit tricky though. Since Ryo doesn't fight in What's Shenmue (apart from the QTE), I had a look at the Shenmue I file but it looks like this animation doesn't exist there. I haven't had any luck with transplanting animation data between the games in the past. Ryo just turns into a pile of trembling limbs :D

Always absolutely amazing to know that after all these years new things are found. Looking forward to discussing other things you have found when I return to Tokyo! Hope you are well Switch!
