The People's Republic of China (better known as China) (Chinese: 中国 / Zhōngguó) is the 29th Character in Head Soccer. He was added on April 3, 2013 along with Ireland and Greece in Update 1.6. He is a 5 star opponent in Arcade mode.
Playing style[]
China plays rather defensively.
Appearance[]
China is a monkey with a headband and earrings. He has brown hair, brown beard, a gnashing mouth and an angry facial expression. He also has pink half circles under his eyes. He is mainly based on Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, a character from the classic Chinese novel: Journey to the West.
Damaged appearance[]
China's orange headband can be kicked off, and once that happenes, his eyes will turn flaming red and his face becomes shaded, complimenting the furious expression. He'll also have a different Power Shot.
Power Shots[]
First Shot: Monkey Shot[]
Monkey Shot
For China's first Power Shot, the Monkey Shot, when the crown is still intact, numerous monkeys (with an appearance similar to China) floating on clouds carrying golden spears appear and fly towards the opponent's side of the pitch, although they do absolutely no damage. They are only meant to cause some confusion when the ball with a bright light behind is launched. If the user manages to block the ball, they will be put in a basket and will be whacked by the monkeys, making it possible to go through them. After four seconds, they'll reappear on the field.
Damaged Shot: Buddha Shot[]
Buddha Shot
If the crown gets knocked off and China has got red flames in his eyes, his Power Shot will change to the Buddha Shot. Wherever the player is, he will disappear in a cloud of smoke and grow a golden Buddhist statue from the ground holding a bottle that pops off the cap (the ball comes immediately behind the cap), sending it diagonally down towards the opponent's goal. This makes it extremely easy to block, resulting in the opponent getting "sucked" back into the bottle for two seconds, and appearing at the same spot where they got "sucked in."
Costume[]
China doesn't wear a costume in Arcade mode or Tournament.
Unlock Requirements[]
To unlock China, you must win using 5 Counter Attacks in a single match to any 30 characters in Arcade mode, or pay 2,800,000 points to unlock him instantly.
Headballs Unlock = Yes ✔️
Tips and Tricks[]
China's first shot, Monkey Shot, is simply a straight line though it harbors much flair to distract you. Do what you would normally do to block shots such as Cameroon's Thunderbolt Shot and Valentine's Valentine Shot. His other Power Shot, Buddha Shot, is even easier to counter. Simply run forward, jump, and kick to counter it. You can also block both shots by jumping in front of China.
