As much as I don't want to put Imagawa up there as my vote, I am finding it hard not to.

While I'm amused by his personality I found him, by far the worst character to use in SW2XL, and well probably all of SW2 in fact. His moveset it slow, weak and plain annoying. Other then an average C4 you have next to nothing to use for a majority of the game until you give him a wealth of level ups. But everyone else also improves a great deal when you do that anyway, which pretty much nulls the benefit there.

And well, “Play Dead” is just a joke; I don’t even care if it extends Musou duration a bit…because his Musou attack is horrible anyway. His throw special isn’t much better either and I find it has too low of a success rate to rely on, who cares if you can’t really get hurt during it, it’s just a waste of time.

He is a real hit a miss character; many cast him away because his personality can be really off-putting initially. But the sad thing is, even if you start to like his personality you will probably end up disappointed with his moveset anyway. I'm also annoyed as how pointless his Story mode is; bar one battle it does not have a place, at all. So I end up wondering why KOEI bother with him. He should be unique NPC only, seriously.
