Shadowfist is the mile-a-minute, sword-clashing, butt-kicking, Uzi-spraying, boat-exploding, car-chasing, monster-crunching, Hong Kong cinematic action card game that is so epic it would take fourteen John Woos to film and a cast the likes of Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh. And that's just in the first five minutes!
It's like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hard Boiled, Drunken Master, Wing Chun, The Killer, Storm Riders, Heroic Trio, Iron Monkey, Supercop, Master Killer, Ballistic Kiss, and the rest of your favorite Hong Kong action films all rolled into one.

The problem, however, is that I could only do this for those reports we actually have. I suspect there are a great many missing or never turned in.
Anyone wishing to fill in these gaps with old reports can still do so by sending them to me.
Beyond that, this is the earliest we can track back for record keeping purposes.
Many thanks to those loyal players that have stuck through with us these last few years!
If I have time available, I may try to continue this with the 2006 rankings.
For now, though, I want this to be a regular staple from now on.
We'll be keeping up with the annual rankings so players can choose to focus on yearly points rather than the overreaching scope of all-time SWS points.
Many congratulations to Braz, our top 2007 secret warrior!
Be the champion of the True North, Strong and Free!
