NCsoft's highly-anticipated Blade & Soul has recently released a themed introduction about "Kung-Fu Master" through its official site. It's true that each martial arts game has its own fighting style, but have you ever asked yourself which set of boxing in the Chinese martial arts system is the most powerful & destructive but simple enough to be applied in self-protection?
In this respect, the game's development team answered "Baji Boxing" and "Tie Shan Kao". To reflect the power and speed of the Kung-Fu Master, the team just chose ""Baji Boxing", which's often used by guards as the basic kung fu in the Chinese martial arts system.
Regardless of the genre and history, Baji Boxing is basically a simple, straightforward and uplifting set of kung fu, and is one of the famous categories of Internal Boxing which also includes Xingyi Boxing, Bagua Boxing and Shaolin Boxing, "Tie Shan Kao", however, is usually used to approach the foe quickly by means of the boxer's strength at different body parts, and then fatally attack the foe at his/her weak parts.
Blade & Soul is a great martial arts project that has taken NCsoft many years to develop. At last year's G-star, the company released a video to introduce four playable classes in the game including Blade Master, Kung-Fu Master, Force Master and Destroyer. Prior to this year's G-star, background settings about the various classes and races in the game will also be unveiled successively, making gamers able to have a deeper understanding about the game.
