how much do you think a weapon has impact on the characters charisma? what do you think would be better suited weapons for the various characters?

Dont you think youkimura sanada would look better with a long sword? Hanzo Hattori with two blades like kunoichi etc etc

Well I'd have to agree with that to a point. The weapon does help add to the character. For instance, Tadakatsu Honda looks far more impressive with the weapon he'll be using now as opposed to just a regular spear. People like Guan Yu, Lu Bu and Xu Zhu were all weilding big weapons in the game so it made their presence seem that much larger when they were swinging weapons some people would struggle to swing.

I have to admit, one great thing about SW is the variety of weapons, and this will only add to that, with the Kyoto kicking ball, and the sansetsukon. It's gonna be awesome.

I like the added weapons with the characters, I'm especially looking forward to using Hideyoshi's 3 sectional staff.

I bought the game the other day and must say that Hideyoshi by far has the best moveset, regardless of his looks.

KEJI ROCK hahaahahhahahhahhahahahhahahhaha
