I don't know why there are so many people like using characters that have short attack range such as Kunoichi, Lu Xun, and many kind of them. I think, I prefer Zhao Yun rather than both of them suck!!!

I think Lu Bu is better than Zhao Yun. Lu Bu C5 is really useful, if you use range ability on his weapon. Zhao Yun too, Cao Pi just suck.

Short ranged people do generally have an easier time against enemy generals - having said that some of them are so awful that they're worse than long ranged people anyway (thinking Xiahou Yuan, Zhen Ji etc)

Kunoichi and Lu Xun can both cope with crowds rather well though anyway - both of which have some very handy charge attacks

I have no problem using Zhao Yun to kill generals either though - C1, C4 and jump charge kills generals pretty quickly really, especially when the general is in a big group of men he can still cope fine, which is where many of the short ranged people struggle.

Ling Tong I find average having a moveset that doesn't really have any range at all, although his C5 is quite handy. Cao Pi and Lu Bu however I would definately put in the 'suck' category

True Artirico...
But that's also why I love the original Samurai Warriors. Each characters had perfect stats and movesets which fitted perfectly together. But all characters had issues and weaknesses.

Let's take four examples: Masamune Date, Okuni, Oichi and Nobunaga Oda.

Masamune was the weakest character in the game, he did not have sufficient health, attack power or defence. Masamune also had very short range. But! Masamune was quick, agile and hitted with two weapons which means that he could cover a small area 360 degrees around him. Masamune also had a strong and quick charging musou and was one of the best characters on horse. Only Yukimura and Shingen was better.

Okuni, being the character who didn't have the best moveset, Okuni coped incredibly being the strongest playable female character. Okuni did not have strong attacks, great combos, strong musou or quick attacks, her range wasn't that great aswell. But Okunis strength was her ability to stun and throw the enemies away. She could also kill enemy generals super quickly. Okuni was also the only character which could fly... an ability which was removed in WO.

Oichi, one of the four quickest characters (Hanzo, Kunoichi, Masamune & Oichi). Oichi could outrun any horse and was better without horse than with. Oichi had quick, but weak attacks, and a great range. This served her perfectly as Oichi lacked both Life, Defence and Attack power. All of Oichis attacks was stationed, but they all kept the enemy close so that she could combo major crowds. Unlike Okuni, which kept the enemy at bay, Oichi could drag enemies close and deal massive damage to them. Oichi also had the strongest counter attack.

The last example: Nobunaga. Nobunaga was one of the best characters in SW1. He was strong and agile and his attacks varied from narrow short range to massive wide. This means that Nobunaga was a very balanced character. His health, defence, strength and speed were all average and all of his attacks did regular damage. His musou moved over a great distance, but was not very strong. Nobunaga had one attack for each requirement. for crowd stunning: C1. For enemy officer slaying: C2. For crowd controlling (meaning decent damage to all around without hitting them away): C3. And for crowd clearing: C4. Nobunagas musou worked like a mixture of all.

---

My personal favourites is Masamune, Oichi and Kunoichi. As I work best with high combos, strong musous and massive speed

So, SW is quite different with DW. In DW, we have an extremely weak character (such as Zhang Jiao) and extremely powerful character (such as Lu Bu). That's good in WO Lu Bu isn't as strong as in DW.

I agree with those three (But, it's that true Okuni can fly?). But I don't agree with Nobunaga's Musou. It's hard to control and I can't even kill a single officer using his Musou. Gan Ning also have a similar Musou but it's deal great damage once it's hit an officer

My fav character from DW is Lu Xun, Ma Chao, and Ling Tong. Sima Yi and Jiang Wei are good too. I haven't played SW yet, but from WO, my best character would be Kunoichi (yeah, I agree with you, slev), Yukimura, and Kanetsugu (using cards like Zuo Ci), Ieyasu is quite useful with a cannon.

I just getting started to like Kunoichi, cuz on WO:2(vs mode) i can beat my bro easily. Nobunaga's Musou same as Gan Ning's musou, but i think Gan Ning's musou is more useful than Nobunaga's musou.

well, i cant really remember my first to max out, but these are the maxed out ones atm...

well i prefer DW3 over every other Koei Game to date, I hated gundam.

I'm pretty sure everyone prefers DW3 overall it's a classic to the whole series.

yes, biggest levels, i liked the noises they made...HUWAA!

The levels were much harder on hard than any lvl on chaos in my mind, I find it very challenging at first, and its great how your musou can increase so quickly on it.

I haven't play DW3 but it's seems fun. DW4 is sucks! Just the fact that Lu Xun's voice is better than DW5 makes me keep playing it

Wu-
Ling tong
Zhou tai

I like ma chao, and think hes one of the strongest to thats why he was first to max out, then some other person.

DW3 was brilliant - and yeah DW4 was a bit of a let-down...I'm glad it picked up again in 5 which was a good game, but 3 was just the best I have enjoyed WO though too

For me there is hardly anyone worse in WO than Lu Bu Ling Tong and Sun Jian I find fairly average...Zhou Tai I like a lot but I would rank him higher in DW5 (my third fav I think) than I would in WO

Double jumping and Gliding sound great - I've had a go with Okuni on that level with the huge mountain...don't know the name...ummm - possibly the same lvl as the 7th Wei lvl - anyway yeah where you can fly from one side of the map to the other due to being so high at the beginning That was on a friends SW2 game...All of those extra weapon features sound great on SW1 - the characters would be much more dangerous with those It's like the death element in DW3 - It makes them a tad overpowered though...Cao Cao meh...Lu Xun has the death element too in DW3 Mystic It automatically kills any troops you hit (I think with his C4) deadly

Of those 99's Yukimura and Zhou Tai I've also got to 99, Ma Chao to about 70 I think and the rest 51 - I finally finished raising all of the characters to lvl 51 the other day
