At the current pace, Koei reveals one character every two weeks. If this keeps up, we have three more on the way. Four if they do a final reveal the week of the game's release:

Aug 22 - possible character
Sept 05 - possible character
Sept 19 - possible character
Oct 3 - DW6:S released yesterday

So far:
Wei - 2 (Cao Pi, Zhang He)
Wu - 2 (Ling Tong, Taishi Ci)
Shu - 1 (Ma Chao)

With three to four more on the way (maybe more pleeeease!) we could end up with all three kingdoms getting 3 or maybe some going to the Others camp.

As for predictions, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Sun Ce have been knocked out of the running by today's screenshots.

EVIDENCE:
Characters doomed to remaining a clone, possibly no musou mode either:

Huang Zhong


Wei Yan


Sun Ce


-------

Let's look at the big board:

KEY
CLONED MOVE-SET
UNIQUE MOVE-SET
HAS A STORY MODE
ILL
STAYS THE SAME
CURED

[Bow] Yue Ying = Sun Shang Xiang
[Staff] Pang Tong = Zhang Jiao
[Whip] Zhen Ji = Diao Chan
[Polearm] Guan Ping = Lu Meng = Ling Tong = Xu Huang = Cao Ren
[Mace] Wei Yan = Huang Gai = Dong Zhuo = Xu Zhu
[Dao] Huang Zhong = Zhou Tai = Xiahou Yuan
[Sword] Sun Quan = Yuan Shao = Cao Pi
[Spear] Ma Chao = Sun Ce = Zhang He = Taishi Ci
[Double Voulges] Lu Bu
[Broadsword] Cao Cao
[Wrecking Ball on Chain] Dian Wei
[Wire Gloves] Sima Yi
[Wolf Teeth Club] Xiahou Dun
[Dual Pole-axes] Zhang Liao
[Twin Swords] Liu Bei
[Guan Dao] Guan Yu
[Dual-edge Cobra Pike] Zhang Fei
[Dragon's Spear] Zhao Yun
[Feather Fan] Zhuge Liang
[Scimitar] Sun Jian
[Bo Staff] Zhou Yu
[Two Daos] Gan Ning
[Twin Folding Fans] Xiao Qiao
[Falcon Blade] Lu Xun

Koei has cleared the Spear section.

Next (two weeks from now) is Shu. I'm leaning towards Yue Ying. Who do you think?

In the possible four updates, who will be de-cloned? Who's on your list? Can you predict the future?

Aug 22 - ???
Sept 05 - ???
Sept 19 - ???
Oct 3 - ???

I think Guan Ping will be Cured. And Yuan Shao will be the other, other character to be remade.

Truthfully, I hope they stay away from the Others. 3 Kingdoms first!

My list of who should:

Aug 22 - Yue Ying
Sept 05 - Xu Huang
Sept 19 - Zhou Tai
Oct 3 - Pang Tong

My list of who Koei would:

Aug 22 - Yue Ying
Sept 05 - Zhen Ji
Sept 19 - Lu Meng
Oct 3 - Guan Ping

I think they should do Zhou Tai, Guan Ping, Xu Huang and Yuan Shao Yuan Shao wwould have a good story. Just Like Lu Bu's just slightly different.

i think theres a slight possibility of Xiao Qiao getting a Musou.

other than that id say
yue ying
Zhen ji
Sun Quan or Xiao Qiao
Guan Ping

Im haveing a wild guess here, but-

Shu-

Yue Ying
Pang Tong

Wu-

Huang Gai
Zhou Tai

Wei-

Cao Ren
X Yuan, (Dun's brother) forgot how to spell first part.

Darn, the cool Wei Yan stuck with a toilet plunger =(.

If you noticed Technically Sun Ce is unique also maybe they'll give him a story.

Aparently they have only six new musous yue ying being the last. they also be spread across two disc to conserve disc space, and on the down side it has poor graphics and swimming is not there anymore.

Guan Ping is a must De-Clone I agree.
If Xiao Qiao has her own unique movesets, she should have a musou.
As for wei...I like don't like her personally but I think she's fine with the weapon she has now. I suppose a change in that would do no harm unless she replaces another character's De-Cloned spot.

what's up with all this yuan shao anyway? they're better off putting nanman back in there. not that i care though. PITA for more natives to kill but they're the south~

The Nanman better return by DW7. All 7 of the deleted characters musst come back...

Yep, we'll be seeing Yue Ying at earliest in a possible Famitsu scan next week Wednesday. Definitely Friday the 22nd.

HOWEVER...

Ya can't trust these IGN journalists. For instance, remember back in Sept. 2007 where they called Zhao Yun a woman:

quote IGN

Playing as either burly gent with a huge ball and chain, spritely lass with a crossbow or posh lady with long stick this time (all of whom probably have much grander names if you're in any way fluent in Japanese), we got to tackle a few levels...

Posh lady?! You gotta do the research to be a journalist!

My theory is that IGN got wind of Yue Ying coming next week and included it in their write-up. There's a slim possibility there could be more. Well, seeing how DW6:Special is slated for October 2nd release, one would think Koei would have some more reveals in the expanse of time we have left? The whole month of September is a long time, especially if you are trying to ramp up hype for a release...

Even if it just turns out to just six, it is still plenty for me and my PS2

what i would realy like to see is Zhou Tai get his katana back he got ruind in the nex-gen vers.

they didn't give it back to him because of the katana not being invented around that time

true. But what i stated earlier is from what i read in an online article

well to me that's what makes these fun i look forward to useing over the top weapons like xu zhu's giant club or ma choa's giant sword. i hate the dw6 zho tai they totally ruined him.
