I suggest working up on chinese legend and myth for discussion of some of these characters, Taigong Wang is an immortal, but he can be killed when walking in the mortal world, he fought and casted out Da Ji, which in terms of the war that they both were fighting, means that Taigong Wang fought to keep the Immortal/Gods influence out of the mortal world so that humanity could find their own way. Da Ji represented the opposite.

Taigong Wang = made of epicness. His moveset is both pleasing to the eye AND effective, his english and japanese voice actors are both awesomesauce (for me, his english VA gives me more chills), character design is drool-worthy, and I love his attitude. He's cocky, but then the way he interacts with "the humans" is just so amusing. It's more on his learning first hand what it means to see a human being's true potential. Very very fun to play as. <3

Hm... After seeing his alternate costumes and reading his bio I kind of thought:

What if, the dark haired costumes are from his time as "a normal mortal" and the white/silver/blond haired one are after he's been given the status of immortal/god?

I really like the idea and will probably stick with it ^^
It would kinda of fit.

Also it would go along with my theory about his "arrogance" and "cookieness", that I personaly kind of like.

I REALLY hated that he got landed in Shu thought.
Due to the biography I had hoped for him to somehow end up in Wu. 1) because most of my favourites are Wu-ers and 2) because I'd love to see some interaction between him, Lu Xun and Lu Meng and later Lu Bu.
I dimly remember that one or two of those Lu's are his descendants and would have loved to see some "family" interaction ^o^. If you read the bio, you'll be able to figure that out for yourself too :)

Also I'd have wished for a bit more bantering between Taigong Wang and Zuo Ci. I know there was some, but at the same time I felt it ... lacking something.

All over I have to say despite so many time having passed since I played WO2, I still like this character very much. I'm looking forward to finishing his costume and representing him in september. ^^

i like his personality and his genius brain power. but i don't like how koei portrays him as a mystic. he should be a human like others and that will make him looks "truly" superior to most strategist.

Taigong is Lu Xun's look-alike!!! (It was SJ who made that up) He's so cool, sexy and amazing, as he describes himself. And you better not mess with fishing rods since he wields it as a powerhouse weapon! :lol:

Tiagong Wang isn't great at level one but as he gets to level 99 and has his best rod he can easly cut his way to the enemy camp (even though a rod can't cut :hehe: ) his costumes are good and he is quite funny.

I love Taigong Wang, easily one of my favorites of the newcomers in WO2.

Personality-wise, he is rather arrogant sometimes, which I'm not fond of. However, he has this Sima Yi-ishness about him that makes the arrogance tolerable and make him seem cool. I also like how he finds 'these humans' to be amusing to him.

Voice-wise, I love his voice. Never really listened to his Japanese voice, so I don't have an opinion on that one. Anyway, I think his voice suits his personality nicely.

Taigong Wang also has some pretty nice designs. I just love his hair, especially.

One of my favorite things about him is his vacuum musou attack. It's just so fun to watch him sweep up the enemies.

Taigong Wang is my personal favorite character in WO2. His moveset is unique (I never knew anyone who could fight with a fishing rod, lol), with those giant balls and the yinyang traps. Also, his design is great, kinda makes him pretty-boy-esque. Landing in Shu was a great idea! He seems to talk with Liu Bei a lot, and the in the part before Odani Castle, he actually worries for him! (Liu said, "I understand, but there is nothing more vicious than a cornered rat. Take care.")
LOL, I really like him.

:o I have no idea but that probably explains his color hair then!

he may just have the pretty boy face because his is now a immortal/god/whatever.

He seems to have matured a little over the gap between Orochi: Maou Sairin and Orochi 2. He doesn't appear to have such a condescending attitude now, and he seems much more serious about the situation.

Concerning his character, he's my favourite of the Orochi characters. I just adore him <3

In MO2, Taigong has a pretty large role, larger than other mystics (excluded Kaguya and Susanoo though).

I have seriously noticed a difference in behavior and personality from wo2-3, he is way more maturer and manlier now. But he still keeps his fantastic sexy looks and i simply utterly adore Taigong Wang, In wo3 i always notice there seems to be a bit of a pairing between kaguya and him, they really do suit each other. Now that he's a different category aswell, i really noticed it cause before he could do fast charge attacks and now they are simple, however he does appear to be more quicker and stronger when fighting enemies in battles.

I have just recently realized how effective his C1 are. I used to think that his moves (aside from his Musou attack) aren't that great, especially since his more powerful C-attacks (C3-C5) have slow delivery and he usually get hit before he could deliver the blow (especially since his defense is low). His C1, while barely damaging, have much faster launch and stuns the enemies - thus, when combined with weapon attributes such as Slay, Bolt, Agility, and Brave, he's pretty much invincible.

I am not a fan of this guy in a lot of areas. I've never really been a fan of his design, it's always looked a little messy to me and I generally don't like sandaled characters anyhow. Also I'm not too sure why he's a mystic, maybe I haven't done enough research but I assumes this guy was indeed very real who was a clever strategist, is there anything out there suggesting he was a mystic such as Zuo Ci or anything?

I don't like his attitude, I find him unknowingly and unnecessarily condescending towards many of the characters which leaves me little reason to want him on my screen. As for his moveset, I remembered his Musou used to be devastating but for some reason Koei have nerfed it entirely to be devastatingly awful. His damage output in other areas is also abysmally weak. There's very little to be desired from this character imo.
