Hey Dojo community, Richard here. About a year ago, I opened a thread talking about how I was creating a “playable Guizhang in 70 Man Battle” mod for Dreamcast, asking for some directions on how I should have gone about fixing some of its shortcomings, like Guizhang’s inability to block.
Since then, I was able to find a way to restore this ability and even added a couple of new moves to his style, turning him from a glass cannon to a more balanced fighter.
After discussing it with the Dojo staff, we decided to release it to the public on Shenmue Day, ditching the patch method I used last time, instead making the image files directly available for download (in GDI format). I even had the honor of having James and Matt play through it directly on stream, which was a blast to watch!
I figured some people might not be too much into socials or YouTube and might have missed out on it, so I created this thread to post all relevant links in case anyone wants to give it a go!
This video is meant as an introduction to Guizhang’s Diving Swallow Style, showcasing each move and discussing it in detail, all in a funny Shenmue-esque scenario.

3. Guizhang Chen’s Move List + Notes & Hints →
- A list of all known moves Guizhang can use, including the 3 new custom actions. I also included some of my observations on how Guizhang plays compared to Ryo.

- I answer some of the possible questions you may have, plus share more of my thoughts on the mod. You can skip this one if you just want to play the mod.
That should be everything. I hope you enjoy this fun little mod for OG Shenmue!
Please let me know if you run into any issues, and of course, feel free to post your best times using Guizhang. It will be fun to see how low we can push the time without using Ryo.
