Choosing the 'Lu Bu' of Samurai Warriors isn't merely choosing the character who has the EXACT SAME PERSONALITY. It's obvious -- Lu Bu is portrayed as a selfish trailer, while Tadakatsu is portrayed as loyal and selfless. Therefore, they are POLAR OPPOSITES. If Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors are viewed as rival series, then Tadakatsu being Lu Bu's mirror makes more sense, instead of having a re-skinned Lu Bu? Where is the Tadakatsu = Zhang Fei comparison coming from? Some of you are getting carried away with the fact that Zhang Fei was compared with Tadakatsu in history. The reason he was is because ZF was one of the most powerful warriors in 3K era who was loyal to Liu Bei, and with the pro-Shu portrayals, that's probably why no-one was compared to Lu Bu, who had no redeeming quality other than his strength. This is just in history. People take things too literally. Now, in the KOEI universe, Zhang Fei is not particularly special compared to other fighters. So I don't know why this Tadakatsu = Zhang Fei comparison is being made. Guan Yu has had a more fearsome role in DW compared to ZF. I don't even need to argue this, because Koei basically agrees with me.
