[edit] Weapons
[edit] Falcon
Li Long wields a pair of handmade nunchaku, originally only one on Soul Edge, made by himself. Both nunchakus possess blades on each of their ends. Their damage-dealing abilities are greatly increased, but they require great skill to be handled without receiving severe injuries. On the UK and eastern Europe version of the game, the weapon is referred to as a Sansetsukon, a three-sectional staff, though this resembles more a bladed nunchaku with its chain replaced by a third, shorter section.
[edit] Story
After the death of the great Eirakutei, the Ming Dynasty was left open to plundering by pirates from southern Japan. Li Long was sent by the emperor to assassinate the leader of the pirates, and bring Soul Edge home with him. Li Long, however, didn't really care about Soul Edge, so, instead, he decided to not only assassinate the leader of the pirates, but the Daimyo feudal lords as well. This was not part of the mission, but there was no doubt in Li Long's mind that he would succeed.
However, Li Long was not as strong as he thought, and an attack on the head of a powerful family went wrong. Li Long was badly injured, but he was rescued by a young girl named Chie. Chie was the daughter of an innkeeper named Yahei. She was traumatized by the death of her mother as a child, and had lost the ability to speak. She devoted herself to the care of Li Long. They fell in love, and Li Long stayed with Chie long after he was fit for travel again.
One day, while Li Long was out, a fight broke out at the Inn. Chie was thought to have been killed. A wounded Yahei told Li Long that a wandering swordsman had started the fight and left. Witnesses thought that it may have been Heishiro Mitsurugi. Mitsurugi, however, was not the only swordsman wandering the land.
Li Long set out for revenge. He learned the Mitsurugi was looking for Soul Edge. He decided that if he found the swords first, Mitsurugi would eventually have to come to fight him. And if it turns out that it wasn't Mitsurugi who was responsible for Chie's death, then he would seek out every last swordsman until he got his revenge.
[edit] Ending
Li Long is badly beaten by Cervantes and is laying beaten on the ground.
[edit] Bad Ending
This ending is a lot like the end of his Weapons Master Mode. Li Long dies, and it cuts to Chie standing in a field holding a comb. She starts to cry, wondering where Li Long is. She then realizes that she may never see him again, and she's carrying his baby.
[edit] Good Ending
Li Long stands up. An illusion of Chie appears, and he goes over to hug her. He realizes that he is hugging the bigger blade of Soul Edge. The smaller blade floats up into the air and says, in Chie's voice, "Come back to me. I'll be waiting." Li Long grabs Soul Edge, and returns.
[edit] Canon Ending
Li Long fights Cervantes and loses.
[edit] Trivia
- Li Long is back in Soul Calibur 3. He's a bonus character. He uses a Create a Soul move list, so he's not really an original character. He looks unique, he has his own voice, but doesn't have a Tales of Souls mode. Thus, it remains unclear if he's really alive, storyline wise
- In the SC1 art gallery, there is a picture of Cervantes standing over a beaten man who resembles Li Long, but I can't be sure. It says something like "Those who found Soul Edge cursed their misfortune as the evil swords devoured their souls," or something like that. If it is, in fact, Li Long, there is very little hope that he's still alive.
- Some people wonder why they didn't even bring Li Long back in SC2 as an extra character, like Lizardman. Well, the reason for that is that Li Long wasn't in SC1. Some people may not realize this, but the fighting system in SB is so drastically different, that Namco doesn't even call it a prequel sometimes. SC1, and SC2, however, are almost identical as far as the basic system of fighting goes. So, you see, for Lizardman, Assassin and Berserker, the only things Namco had to do to bring them over were to create new character models, and copy their move lists. (For those of you who don't know, Assassin is based on SC1 Hwang, Berserker is based on SC1 Rock, and Lizardman is just SC1 Lizardman, with 6 new costumes.)
- In SC2, Maxi can use Falcon, Li Long's nunchaku, and in the weapon gallery it mention's that Li Long once used it.
- In Soul Blade the announcer sounds confused when he says Li Long's name. He says it like he's asking him something. "Li Long?"
- Li Long's sister, Meimei, is Xianghua's best friend.
- Li Long's reasons for believing that Chie is dead can be potentially be explained in Taki's bio; what probabbly happened is that Toki (Taki's Master) sent someone to find an possibly kill Hachibei - this would be the unidentified swordsman who was seen during the fight (it wasn't Mitsurugi). Furthermore Taki's lie that Hachibei and Chie had died may have also caused confusion. This isn't officially stated, but it makes some level of sense.
- In the Soul Blade Edge Master Mode, it is implied that Cervantes was the one who killed Chie, this however is obviously a translation error. Not only was Chie not killed, but it makes no sense that Cervantes would go all the way to China, kill one person, and go all the way back to Spain again.
