He is a very well rounded character, i was surprised how his poor moveset actually blossomed as i leveled him up. He is very slow ill confess but he is Power after all so its expected and whatever damage he takes he can heal so much with his special it makes little difference.

Of all the new characters he is the japanese equivilant to Zuo Ci in that his moveset covers so much area, features elements and his musuo quite simply destorys everything it encounters with ease.

I admit to abusing his C2, it's like, his only really damaging move. Too bad my enemies fly far away.

P.S. His VA is a better Kiyimori than Guan Yu.

I don't like him much. I personally find his moveset strange, can't control him well. But worst of all is his appearance. Should have been given more armor.

"BOW BEFORE ME MORTALS!"

Yeah, this guy is brutal. C2-3 FTW! :blink:
:XD

I kept remembering this post when I finally played as him this past weekend.

C2-3 FTW indeed :ph43r:

This guy is as awesome as I expected he would be. The explosive red aura he gets on the final hits of his C2-3, C3-3 and S-string are just insane (especially C2-3).

His R1 bearhug special makes up for all the fire attacks you find yourself in while playing certain stages, as it drains a bunch of life and makes a nice finisher :ph43r:

I remember how Kiyomari was a good character for me. Although I haven't play the game for a month now :P , I basically got all the treasure by using him. The best and easy character for me to grind. :D

He has a special moveset, his design is scary & good that suits his personnality very well XD
By the way, it's more scary to fight him than Orochi in WO2. His weird voice (but it's a so good voice as Orochi's voice, because it suits the character) & his "sumo kiss" (Sorry I mistaken on the name of this Martial Art Technique) charge (that absord your life) make him very scary to fight lol XDD

The man is every definition i can think of with a "tank" style of play. Extremely slow, soaks up masses of damage, very powerful when used right and low range... if you dig that kind of character which i do he is awesome to play with IF you can be patient enough to level him to full potential as until hes learned his full moveset hes left often very vulnerable and even has to stop and catch his breath mid combo haha.

Personality wise he was everything i could have hoped for, the game needed a DIFFERENT bad guy to Orochi and Da Ji for Orochi 2 to be interesting enough and he ticked all the right bosses... the only regret was there wasnt nearly enough exposure plot wise to develop the rivalry between him and Yoshitsune.

Um, Sol.? I think you made a funny typo there! You spelled Taira into Tiara!!! :XD

Kiyomori really scared me the first time I saw him. He has small horns on his head, and, if you look closely, you'll see that one of his eyes are blood-red. Along with the Samurai armor and his strange prayer-beads weapon, he's a guy you'll definitely want to avoid in a dark alley.

The first time I fought him, on Wu's Itsukushima, was a true nightmare. He kept on sucking the life out of me to heal himself, so I had to defeat him with a hit-and-run style of fighting. It was actually the first time in the game that I faced a hard-to-kill boss. Good thing is I know how to K.O him now.

His role in the game is pretty major, like Da Ji. He's the mastermind behind almost all of the enemy movements, just the kind of "evil strategist" we would like. And his rivalry with Yoshitsune is heavily implied in their cinematic cutscene in Itsukushima.

All the talk about his background info as a historical character, of how he didn't deserve to be called "Evil", reminds me of Cao Cao. I'm a Chinese, so I was raised amidst all the stories about him being evil as well, but reading history and playing DW changed my view on him. These two characters have been heavily demonized throughout history because they were all usurpers of the dynasty.

But, overall, I must say that Kiyomori Taira, leader of the Taira clan and villain of the Heian/Kamakura periods, is the only KOEI warrior who has scared the crap out of me.

I'm not that far in the game yet but he seems to be an interesting villain. Can't wait to play with him.

I like his Kiyomoris voice as well, mostly because its the same as sir Crocodile.

Love his moveset and personality.

Probably one of the best villains in the Warriors Series.

Hm... so far I've been abusing C2 whenever I play him. Doesn't really help that he's Tech now, so he's easy to knock out his his moves. Should have had an extra charge move. It could have benefitted him...

He's been seriously de-buffed in this game (which is massively confusing, considering the whole "Kiyomori has returned stronger than ever!" we hear every five minutes).
Flinching up the whazoo, his charge times seem much slower, and he's lost any endurance he might have had since they've taken away his Absorption special attack. It's also become stupidly hard to control his walking direction during his musou attack.

On the plus side, his new R1 is extremely powerful. Isn't a very good trade-off though.

When he 1st came out I fell in love with his character immediately because he was more of a villain then orochi to me, and his moveset was godly and he was a super tank :) ~but now he's just meh his new R1 makes him less tanky but hey there's no more vs mode so I guess I'm ok with that...

But I love his jump charge :D as always o3o

He's a real nasty piece of work in WO3, keeps on mind controlling warriors in order to get them to join the orochi army/ fight against their friends etc. It's a good strategy but a damn annoying one for me, i truly can't wait to beat that old relic later in wo3, i wanna see the look on his face everytime us lot and kaguya go back to stop him and help other people, i bet he would be well confused/peed off lol.

His movesett is....unimpresive for such a major character.

Still, with the hydra being just a beast and with Orochi out of the picture Kiyomori does a good job of acting as the games main villain so i still like him.
