Shingo Yabuki (Ramkun / JFCT555 edit)

Introduction

This is a Mugen character based on Shingo Yabuki from SNK’s The King of Fighters series. The packaged definition credits Ramkun and JFCT555; the Korean readme identifies the original base as Shingo by JFCT555, with Ramkun (Anomi Polis) as the editor who applied the “AS” / special-system changes described in the translation notes.

Display name: Shingo Yabuki Ramkun

In the KOF storyline, Shingo is a high-school student who idolizes Kyo Kusanagi and fights with a self-taught imitation of the Kusanagi style—including numbered “Shiki” moves that are intentionally unfinished or error-prone, which is reflected in move names like Aragami Mikansei (“unfinished” Aragami) and in this character’s routes and modes.

File roles

Piece	Role
shingo_as.def	Entry: author, palettes, cmd, cns, st/stcommon, sprite, anim, sound, extra st1–st5 for mode-specific scripts
codigo/Shingo.cmd	Command buffer, human inputs, and [Statedef -1] routing to state numbers
codigo/Shingo-C.cns	Core constants, common states, physics, helpers
codigo/Shingo-Common.cns	Shared mechanics
codigo/Shingo-N.cns / Shingo-S.cns / Shingo-H.cns	Normals, specials, helpers / higher-number states
EX.cns	Extended / “mode” routes (e.g. Statedef 21000 family)
shingo_tag.cns / unotag.cns	Tag-related glue when used
archivos/Shingo.air	Animation and clsn timing vs sprites

Mode (var(23) / “MAX” style)

• Activation: A + Y (see TRANSLATION.md for full Korean designer notes). Power stocks are consumed (1 if standalone, 2 if canceled from normals).
• Effect: Many specials gain alternate state numbers (often in the 21000+ / EX.cns range): different cancels, juggle limits, and follow-up routes. Using a super-level move ends the mode.
• Critical: Roughly 25% chance on specials for 1.5× damage and extra effects on forced-down situations; hitstun scaling can double (move-dependent).

Combo and buffer logic (Shingo.cmd)

• var(1) tracks whether the last action allows special / super cancels (stand/crouch/air chains and certain hitstop windows).
• movecontact / movehit transitions switch between normal special statenos (e.g. 1000, 1100) and mode statenos (e.g. 21000, 21100) when var(23) > 0.
• Dodge: x+a with holdback or holdfwd selects backward or forward roll states (700 / 710).
• Power: Supers check power thresholds; in mode, costs sometimes drop (e.g. ifelse(!var(23), 1000, 0) patterns).

AI (AILEVEL)

• Mugen’s AILEVEL (1–8 via Options → Difficulty) scales random ChangeState attempts at high priority in Shingo.cmd: guards, rolls, confirms, and combo chains.
• var(58) is set from AILEVEL to weight those random branches.

Animation vs opponents

• archivos/Shingo.air maps each anim number to frame data and collision boxes. Hit behavior is not “per opponent character” in Mugen; instead, HitDef attr, guardflag, priority, and juggle points in each .cns state define how moves interact with standing / crouching / air opponents and helpers.
• Counter hits and mode bonuses are implemented with var(23), movehit, and occasional enemynear, conditions (e.g. height, statetype, movetype) in Shingo.cmd AI blocks and in states.

Counterplay (typical)

• Guard / roll: Dodge and AILEVEL-driven guarding reduce pressure; grab windows (b / y throws) punish passive guard at close range.
• Low / overhead: Mixed crouch vs stand guardflags on kicks and command normals force mixed defense.
• Air: Air Shingo Kick and jump attacks (statetype = A) interact with anti-airs only through HitDef priority and hurtbox timing—check Shingo.air for active frames.
