Guan Yu is one of the playable fighters from the Beat 'em Up game Warriors of Fate.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Based on the manga Tenchi wo Kurau, which in turn is settled in China's Three Kingdoms period (and Romance of the Three Kingdoms), Guan Yu basically is a Hollywood expy of his historical counterpart. Serving under the warlord Liu Bei, he battles the forces of Cao Cao, the overlord of the rivalling Wei Kingdom.
Guan Yu is the most balanced of the available fighters, having no particular strengths or weaknesses. While initially fighting unarmed, picking up a weapon equips him with the fabled Green Dragon Crescent Blade; a polearm that supposedly survived to the current age and is on display in the Purple Cloud Temple of Hubei.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
In 8chanmania X, Guan Yu was teamed up with Shao Khan. The two warriors resisted the psychic assault from Wololo Monk and Yuri, told Tormund Giantsbane and Sandor Clegane that their books were as shit as that one diarrhea scene, and christened Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho in their own blood.
Sadly, lacking records mean we don't know whom they fought during the semi-finals, or whether they made it into the finals itself.
