Tung Fu Rue (Fatal Fury)

==Summary==
Tung Fu Rue is an old chinese master of Hakkyoku Seiken, an esoteric fighting style that characterizes several characters in the Fatal Fury series. He was the one who trained Terry Bogard's father, Jeff Bogard, and the series's main antagonist Geese Howard. He was amongst the participants of the second "The King of Fighters", having entered the competition to test his skills against a new generation of fighters and to put an end to Geese's evil deeds.
He participated in the third tournament too, but was brutally beaten by Wolfgang Krauser, and from thereafter he seemingly retired from official competitions. Tung continued his activities as a master, most notably taking with him the reformed Jin Chonrei, teaching him how to employ his skills for the good and embrace a new lifestyle.

|-|Special Attacks=
*Shou Ha ("Power Wave"): Tung unleashes a large ki blast from his palm. He can also breathe a ki projectile from his mouth by briefly increasing his muscle mass.
*Dai Shou Ha ("Great Power Wave"): A more powerful and concentrated version of the Shou Ha.
*Senpuuken ("Whirlwind Fist"): Tung bends his legs, spreads his arms and starts spinning forward through the air.
*Senshippou ("Quick Arrow Step"): Tung delivers a straight punch while leaping forward.
*Ressen Kyaku ("Vicious Thousand Kicks"): Tung jumps diagonally and kicks the airborne opponent several times, before backflipping back onto his feet.
*Meditation: Tung assumes a meditation pose that almost looks like a taunt. Doing this allows him to perform stronger versions of Senshippou and Ressen Kyaku, while also leaving afterimages behind him.
*Geki Hou ("Conquering Flash"): A versatile technique which can performed in three different ways. Tung ducks and focuses his ki, projecting a solid astral projection of his muscular form from his back. Alternatively, Tung bends down and brings forth said projection, before charging forward with a shoulder tackle. Lastly, Tung greatly increases his very muscles mass, becoming considerably larger and brimming with enough ki energy to hurt the opponent by simply making contact with them.
