When you think of monks with ancient techniques, you think of Shaolin monks which is chineseAs a martial artist I'm pleasantly surprised they chose Chinese movements to represent monk. They have in the past don't get me wrong but it was much more visual in the trailer. Loved it.
As for the dancer debate...
I want dancer. I do. I just dont want that monk rip off class if thats now dancer ... which it's not...it's monk.
Well yes, you and I may think that, which seems obvious. However China and Japan haven't exactly gotten along in the past...and this is especially true in the martial arts world. Which is why im pleasantly surprised to see Chinese aspects in there. Yes they belong there for what it was showing, but some developers might have (and have in the past) changed it to seem more Japanese. Yes were in a new era and the hate is slowly fading, but I love to see Chinese aspects in my manga/anime/video games because of the past.
As for the dancing combat argument, many Chinese forms/styles had a fluid like movement similar to dancing and what we saw in the trailer. Again, maybe it is a dancer...but I HOPE it isn't, because of the monk clone aspect.
Maybe they did this on purpose for a debate. I doubt it but still :P
