Its a hard question I know. :P

My vote is for Ma Chao because of these reasons:
Probably one of the best appearances in the game, and has always been improved upon after each installment.
His MS is nothing special, but it sure is creative and I suppose it can be seen as kind of generic if you have played the originals. Wouldn't you agree?? Because it was very similar to Jiang Wei's at the time, and the MS was used by generic models.
His voice is incredibly good, as well as his dialogue and overwhelming presence. And of course not forgetting his rivalry with Cao Cao and his abilities on a horse. ;)

Xiahou Dun has probably a better MS then Ma Chao IMO, especially his musou.
He also has a few relationships on the battlefield such as with Guan Yu, Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan.
Plus the good voice, hot temper and of course not forgetting his eye patch.
In fact in my opinion his eye patch has made him many fans of the series and probably for that reason alone.

Xiahou Dun gets my vote, one reason is because he is from Wei, another is the fact that I prefer his MS, the third is because if I hear Ma Chao say justice a few times, I'd jump into the fight and kill him myself.

Dun has always been a fave to me, I can kill twice as many people with him than Ma Chao, Plus Xiahou Dun's weapon looks sooo much cooler!

justice justice. I rate xiahou dun as wei best but im bias. c5for xiahou can break through defense and musou is decent. ma chao c3 is pretty accurate and strikes rapidly. c6 all around and true musou ends with 360 degrees

They have different style, so I prefer Ma Chao style (spear) compared to Xiahou Dun (Cimeter). -_-

However, these two fought for their idea and for their ruler, they were honorable both for that ^^

I'd go with Xiahou Dun. He's bad ass and he's got a big sword. Though Ma Chao owns him on a horse, on the ground, Dun is better, and since I fight mostly on the ground, Dun gets my vote.

Xiahou Dun

Man was that a hard one. But I've played Dun since the original so he keeps a place above most for me in a vote. Though in life Xiahou Dun was said to have lost many important battles in the game he is one of the more capable Wei Generals. His awesome appearance, weapon, voice, and violent yet cool persona make him a fave for many even those who dont like Wei characters.

He has a cool overall moveset, I just wish they (Koei) would still give him a 360 C6. That C1 is on par with Sun Jian's in effectiveness And no one can compare to Ma Chao on a horse (maybe Pang De) but Dun's horse attack has never been anything to take lightly.

"I am Xiahou Dun, come if you want to die!"

Ma Chao.
He's invincible on a horse, but on the ground, he isn't bad either. I like his charges.
For Xiahou Dun, I was really disappointed in him in the 5 (his moveset), I can't think of a move I like about him... That's why I leave him to my little sister, I don't really play with him anymore.

G. O. W., I make my polls hard on purpose if you haven't noticed?? As it makes you really think deeply and also makes you give a good reason for your choice. :P

The poll tally says it all. :)

"If I hear you say honour one more time, I'll rip your throat out!!" ~ Masamune Date.

Now, change the honour to justice, and that's exactly how I feel about Ma Chao. Also, maybe because I hate playing characters that are too easy to use.

I like Xiahou Dun, not because of his eye patch, but because of his relantionships. Makes quite an interesting storyline. Ma Chao is all about justice. Pretty predictable, and boring.

Justice, All a round and everywhere. You must use him on the horse alot. Don't you find it more challenging on gorund when he sucks more? where you have to depend on his true musou? his musou hits everyone and not one person. his c3 is not accurate at all and c4 is medicore and c5 sucks.

Technically, it's not me who uses him. It's my younger brother. And he loves to use Ma Chao on the horse. He never touches the ground. He can finish all of Ma Chao's stages on the horse. Imagine how I feel? <_<

Ma Chao's moveset (on land) is very cool but not effective. Xiahou Dun has a quick, strong moveset that made him a good crow-clearer character.

I mainly like Ma Chao because of his mounted musou attacks, characters that attack on one side when mounted are usually the ones who build up the higher combos.

I prefer Dun over Ma Chao. He just oozes personality while Ma Chao is comparatively bland.

A stale meat dumpling. That's what Ma Choa's personality is like.

Another thing I can't stand about Ma Chao is his musou. It's hard to control, and the only good part is near the ending, where he flips, or something like that. The range isn't that good either, and that sucks for a guy using a spear.

Xiahou Dun. He's suave, calm, cool and collected. he also says that he doesn't need a fancy reputation like Zhang Liao

Xiahou Dun is a good character, but he was too obsessed with killing Guan Yu. He could've played a big role on Mt.Ding Jun as reinforcements to save his brother. The only stage I remember where he goes hyper is Guan Yu's Escape, which isn't really a major level.
