Liu Yunfei lived at one point
in 800 A.D. with his wife. Desiring to gain more power, he made a deal
with a being calling himself "The Dark Emperor" and apparently becomes
immortal due to an evil entity. However, he went insane and berserk until
he was sealed in a boulder by his students, Enja
and Suija.
A millennium later, he is freed due to the entity leaving him to possess
someone else. Wanting to redeem himself, he tracks down the entity's source
with intents to exorcise it. In his ending, the entity is found in Gaoh
and it begins to overwhelm its host. In order to help Gaoh, Yunfei takes
possession of the monster's body and urges the free Gaoh to slay the demon.
He is struck down and is reunited with his wife (presumably in heaven).
Yunfei takes most of his mannerisms
from typical wuxia traits. Parallel to other wuxia borrowing some
elements from real-life martial arts, his fighting style is a rough deviation
of the Wing Chun martial arts. He also possesses the ability to fly.

Yunfei looks like a character
right out of a classic Chinese Kung Fu flick... y'know, the ones with all the
mid-air fighting on invisible wires? -___- In the way that some movies take it
"too far" with wire fighting, I think Yunfei is just as unnecessary in
the Samurai Shodown series.
Sure, he's a unique type of character to Samurai Shodown, and represents the Chinese broadsword
style fairly well, but in my opinion, he doesn't quite "fit" with the
rest of the cast so well. I'm open to new character ideas, but Yunfei's
animation quality doesn't match the quality seen in the prequels... a lot of his
attacks are pretty choppy in comparison to characters from SS3 & SS4.
Right along with many others introduced in SS5 and after, Yunfei just
doesn't have the "oomph" of earlier Samurai Shodown designs. He
can be fun to use, in a way... but all his "flying around" almost
makes the game not feel like Samurai Shodown anymore. :/
