That being said, after using the beast that is Hanzo in Warriors Orochi, I have to say SW2: XL Hanzo is really dull to use. He still does not have a reliable way of quickly and efficiently dispatching officers and his crowd control (minus the shadows) is still same old --- meaning, nothing special. I guess you can say that I could just use his C5 all the time to spawn the shadows which will then give me more than adequate crowd control plus greater officer killing abilities. His C5, however, doesn't quite live up to its potential. This move would have been so much better if only you could control where he would face prior to fragging random peons with shuriken and if he would fire instantly. Having him pause prior to shooting things up gives opponents a crowds a chance to hit you and officers to potentially inflict serious damage if they're on hyper mode or if you're on a higher difficulty setting. It absolutely sucks when a character gets locked into position for any particular move. Seeing as Hanzo's crowd control is rather mediocre, the ability to alter his positioning would have been a rather welcome change. The only "special" effect from his C5 is that his shadows spawn automatically. If those "what ifs" were realized, I'd definitely use Hanzo more than most others. He has a sick weapon, one of the coolest looking fight stances and definitely has the best running animation. Oh and ninjas are just plain kick-ass. :ph43r:
