Talk:Yun-seong (Soul)

Hong Yun Sung

In order to prevent an edit war over Hong Yun Sung's name, I have decided to explain the situation to those unfamiliar with why it is written in this way. In Asian names, the family name is one syllable and comes at the beginning of the name. Thus, his surname is actually Hong. In Korea, his given name, or the name by which he is called, is more often than not two syllables--in this case, Yunsung. However, it is only listed as a single word when referring exclusively to his given name, because when referring to his full name, each syllable is written as a separate word when romanized. This is done to match the fact that Korean names are generally written using three characters--one for each syllable. Soul Calibur II was originally coded such that his name was actually written properly as Hong Yun Sung, but the English translators remembered the previous incident with Seung Mi Na and eventually changed most instances of "Hong Yun Sung" in Soul Calibur II to prevent confusion, mostly among Americans. However, you can still see a trace of its original state in the credits to Weapon Master Mode. It is asked that when you see his full name written as Hong Yun Sung, you leave it as such; and if you ever see it combined to simply Hong Yunsung, that you restore it to its original state. Only if his given name is written on its own will he be referred to as Yunsung, as it should be. Thank you for your cooperation.

Please do not move this page back - there is nothing "anti-korean' about making all Soul Calibur characters' articles match. There has been a discussion on this to name article titles after their most common name - and Yun-seong's first name is not mentioned enough in the games. He is announced as simply Yun-seong/Yun-Sung throughout the series.Mr.bonus 14:06, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

SC4 Biography

On the Soul Calibur 4 website, a profile for Yun-Seong is up but what does it say in English? SuperSaiyanCrash 7:25, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Mistake?

Article claims he wasn't in Soul calibur 2, but in my copy at least, Yunsung is there (spelling as in game, SC2, PAL version) anyone want to fix it or tell me why not to?

It was vandalism on someone's part. His contribution history was littered with other acts of vandalism too. I fixed it... although I wasn't logged in at the time. But it was me. -GamblinMonkey (talk) 12:55, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Gameplay

Okay, this is pretty much just like the old character analysis section from before. I'm removing these for the same reason people from before deleted the character analysis section. If you want to find out why, check out Taki's and Kilik's talk pages. If people want a strategy guide, they should go to fansites. Mythmonster2 (talk) 06:33, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Being a "replacement" character

I believe Yun-seong was created as a replacement for Hwang (why Hwang was not in SCII and was only a bonus character in SCIII). Yun-seong's moves were somewhat a modified version of Hwang's.

I think this description could be added to the article however, I could not present any reference or source. Well, just my perception.--JCD ^(Talk) 10:56, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
