I have to admit I love his personality as a womanizer, sleezy, and wild kind of guy. Kinda reminds me of Mugen from Samurai Champloo and Wolfwood from Trigun. I think the big disappointment about Magoichi Saika is his weapon. I mean its so big and it feels weird when your playing him because the musket is clunky and all. That bayonet at the end of the gun doesn't really help much either. The weapon needs to be abit faster and be lighter so it will match with his crazy moveset. Other than that I pretty much love him. Specially his awesome One Liner quotes in SW2 and his rugged/wild appearance. Anyone else think that KOEI should make his weapon easier to use and so he can be able to do multiple things. For example: In the movie Death Trance, the main character wields a Bokken with a Gun hiding in the sheath. I think that they should use a moveset similar to that so he can hit people with the bokken and take it out whenever to use the gun. Kinda like Date Masamune. I mean who carries a Musket that big anyways to fight, its just weird. A bokken with a Gun sheathed inside sounds cooler and more suitable for that Era.

In other words, I agree with you whole-heartedly. One thing I noticed is that his portrayal seemed almost like a stereotype that the Japanese normally attribute to Americans in anime. The free-loving, womanizing, rugged, gun for hire. I've got a couple nicknames for him because of this. "Japanese Rambo" and "The Real American Hero........ of Feudal Japan."

I guess he makes up for it in his bullets. He's definately not nub friendly, but he's fun once you figure out exaclty when to use which charges.

This guy definitely isn't a rock anymore.... Posts: 4,432 Group: Members Member #749 Joined: February 21, 2006 Gender Male	But then he couldn't be the leader of Saika Mercenaries anymore :(. I thought he was ok in SW1 although his Musou and Charge attacks were horrible. At least he had great S string. In SW2, however, KOEI improved him a lot. Now his Musou is one of the best attacks in game and his Charge attacks are stronger. But I do wish his moveset type would be Special and not Charge. His current Special attacks are not effective and the Charge attacks he has are not good enough for Charge character. I like his musket too but IMO he should use it only for shooting. KOEI should do like Capcom did: Give him a knife as secondary weapon which he could use for his S string.

I haven't gotten my hands on a copy of SW 2, yet, so I was basing my judgement on his SW 1 controls. All the more reason for me pick it up, if he really has been improved.

I'll admit, I think his musou is excellent (especially when teaming up with bodyguard) but his lack of range is what makes him worse than other comparable characters. Take Ina & Masamune, for example ... the range on Ina's arrow attacks is ridiculous ... & Masamune can clear crowds pretty well with his charge attacks. Magoichi's charge attacks seem to be slower & can get interrupted. Also, while characters like Ina & Masamune can hold their own against some of the tougher opponents, Magoichi struggles. Facing someone like Tadakatsu, you better hope the enemy troops drop a lot of musou jars. He does, however, have a great personality & his story line in SW2 brings out a lot of his character in different ways.

Commander Posts: 989 Group: Members Member #5,896 Joined: March 4, 2007	I find him ok. He has one of the most interesting storylines in SW2. However, one thing I can't stand about him is the way he uses his musket. Come on, you have a long range weapon!! And that bayonet at the end of his gun? Tiny. I also don't like his Charge attacks, though I love his musou in SW2. It sucked in SW1. I agree with LoW. Give him a secondary weapon. BTW, Jsun nice clip. If Koei made Magoichi like that, he'd be bagging more girls...

KOEI Warriors Unifier Posts: 1,757 Group: Members Member #7,496 Joined: May 22, 2007	Gotta luv a womanizer in games. Magoichi is probably the closest thing to an american in the game, his look, personality, and weapon. From SW1 to SW2 he and Masamune get the vote for most improved character. His musou is actually useful in his SW2 form, and his only real weakness is the speed of his C4. He is one of the characters they could have made Normal and expanded on his MS with alot more musket fire.....they missed a golden opportunity with him.

However as a previous poster has said he really strugles against the tougher characters, his dream stage on hard isn't that difficult, but if you go for Honda then you will be looking for rice balls fast.

First Lieutenant Posts: 130 Group: Members Member #8,030 Joined: June 18, 2007	I like Magoichi's move set. The way he just kinda clubs people with the barrel of his gun is kind of akward... But I don't think hand to hand musket fighting translates well to such large battles. because it's mainly about tripping, stabbing, and jabbing. Be neat if he had some kinda set up like that samurai from Trigun, where he could attach the hilt of his sword to either a gun, or a sword and switch freely between the two. I dunno. It'd be nice if he used hand to hand combat or something. But then I just want a hand to hand fighter in General. And someone who uses a saber-dagger combo. But thats more western. On the whole, he's a cool guy. I like the way he's more free than basically any of the other characters. Feeling what he wants to feel, as the story dictates. He and Mitsuhide are the only ones I can think of that are really like that. Everyone else just kinda says catch phrases and does what the alien space beams tell them to do. Though that scene with Ieyasu falling off his horse was Awesome. Not burnning with unrelenting revenge awesome. But awesome.

Most of the time I find it funny how he ends up failing with the ladies. I don't know what his moveset was like in SW1 since I don't own that game but from playing SW2, I love his movest espeically his C4.
	Thank you Qing Long for the sexy avatar~ ❤

His personality is really funny and different I think he has a bad moveset which could be much better. If it were better then i would go him more. Its because of his attitude that i play as him anyway

"i smell poop..." Posts: 2,736 Group: Members Member #4,229 Joined: November 17, 2006	a difficult character to master, i wish his moveset were better(i'd like and use him more) and his personality is awful, part playboy and part complete DORK, he never makes it with the ladies, because, any woman who fell for those lines and attitude would deserve the guy. painful.
