He also gets a few good lines as well. His FMVs are good, especially the 4th one. He can smash through peons and is as strong as Tadakatsu if in the hands of a master gamer. He is not serious, he doesn't have OCD, he's not emo, pretentious, hollow, honor loving. He is one of my favorite characters in the game, apart from Ieyasu, Ina, Shingen, Hanzo and Magoichi. Stages Conquest For Kyushu Odawara Castle East Kusegawa Struggle at Sekigahara Seige of Edo Castle Dream: Battle of Sekigahara He also has two of the most useful specials in the entire game, and the only ones that can be used at almost exactly the same time!

This guy definitely isn't a rock anymore.... Posts: 4,434 Group: Members Member #749 Joined: February 21, 2006 Gender Male	He has one big flaw though... his S string. Not only it's slow, but his range seems so short and in crowds he doesn't hit to many people. You could expect that to happen from a guy who swings a giant hammer. Yoshihiro, who wields a huge weapon, would be better with Charge moveset. His Charge attacks, however, are pretty good, deal much damage and help you to clear crowds. His Musou is strong against generals, but weak against crowds due to short reach. I like from his Specials. I often use S1 before doing a Musou attack and S2 when facing more than one general. That way you can keep others away from you while attacking to one of them. And you have to love his Self skill... even Tadakatsu can't flinch you on Chaos difficulty when you have Resist. I was happy with his Story, thought that it was better than Ginchiyo's. But his Dream stage was a big disappointment... wtf. I expected to see Pursuit of Yoshihiro with Shimazu forces and not Yukimura's Battle of Sekigahara >_>.

1948-2009: THE GRAND SLAM DREAM LIVES ON! Posts: 6,547 Group: Members Member #1,747 Joined: April 28, 2006	CHESTOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! is actually a war cry, more specifically a Shimazu war cry. His moveset should have been charge. His range is good but his movement and attack speeds are slow. If you use his specials in tandem, you can do a lot of damage. His S string could have been tweaked somewhat. Yoshihiro's Dream was somewhat pointless.

That or someone else. it makes no difference either way, Shimazu is pretty cool considering his line at Sekigahara; "Hell huh? Isn't that where devils live? If this is hell than it is our home." something of that nature.

Scares away like 5 of your guys. Kinda annoyed me when he kept going like "I'm warning you! It's not smart to mess with the devil!"

1948-2009: THE GRAND SLAM DREAM LIVES ON! Posts: 6,547 Group: Members Member #1,747 Joined: April 28, 2006	Use both his specials at the same time and hammer your enemies to a pulp. That works. You can actually use his normal attacks and specials and use Yoshihiro's musou very rarely.

Commander Posts: 989 Group: Members Member #5,896 Joined: March 4, 2007	Yoshihiro a.k.a the tomato man (That's what my brothers and I call him) Not a bad character, but his range really needs work. All his movies are cool though. Love the CHESTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH bit. Also, I was kinda hoping he and Ginchoyo would become friends. But his dream SUCKS...It's so hard...I've always hated Sekigahara, whether East or West, but Yoshihiro's dream...it's hard... [size=14]CHESTOOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/size]

KOEI Warriors Unifier Posts: 1,757 Group: Members Member #7,496 Joined: May 22, 2007	I like him. Very slow on foot and a slow unecessary S string. But stong moves, simple C1, specials used in tandem complement each other. Of course its been said before but he should have been charge and not normal. But I have no problem as he is. As far as his story goes, fighting my way out of that castle when it is on fire in chaos is one of my favorite moments in the game. His quote to Ina is also one of my faves, talk about respecting your opponent, even a woman. "Tadakatsu, what good is strength if you're too serious to enjoy it?"

KOEI Warriors Unifier Posts: 1,757 Group: Members Member #7,496 Joined: May 22, 2007	Yes. I just think he could have had a better dream stage. Maybe his version of the Tounament of Champions in Kyushu to show the youngsters how it's done. What do you think of that?

Jeremy Clarkson watches you while you are alone. Posts: 168 Group: Members Member #6,542 Joined: April 4, 2007	Shimazu Yoshihiro is the first character I completely maxed out, every single skill, whatnot. He is still one of my favourites despite some flaws. Sure, his attack string can be blocked in places, but you just wait for your foe to attack then you strike. You're not being interrupted anytime soon.
	Akechi Mitsuhide(WGXH) Ruler Perks: Arms Expert (Mitsuhide's soldiers take less damage from muskets) Tennozan Charge: Mitsuhide may use this skill to have any Akechi unit quickly gain speed and get to high ground or any advantegeous spot of Mitsuhide's choosing. Musket Blitz: If Mitsuhide has ashigaru teppou or samurai gunmen and some melee troops, he can use this skill to have his gunmen fire into an enemy unit's van while his melee soldiers attack an enemy's flank, thus causing good damage and confusion of the enemy ranks. Vengeful Onslaught: When on the battlefield with Oda, Tokugawa, or Toyotomi forces, Mitsuhide's soldiers can do more damage if this ability is used. Family Allies: When on the feild with Akechi Hidemitsu, Mitsuhide may use this skill to have his entire unit gain a morale boost. Musket Master: Mitsuhide and his men all fire in one synchronized volley. Mitsuhide may injure the enemy commander, and the enemy suffer heavy damage. War: 84 Akechi Mitsuhide= 10,300 ashigaru, 8,700 teppou ashigaru, 200 yakuza, 700 shinobi, 130 reapers, 2,000 sohei, 3,440 samurai
