noob question guys, but how on earth do you make his lightsaber go the upgraded yellow, I only managed to get it once playing him in Wu story, and that was pure random since it just appeared  :blink:

Use his R1 weapon power-up, then get a 100-hit combo ^_^

I don't know if that makes it Yellow or Red, but it does power up his weapon :unsure:

It makes it all shiny white/yellowish ^_^ and its bigger. I wish it was a fourth weapon though, that would be awesome.

Well, ive finished story mode with him, and he is dang fun, kind of gets me killed sometimes, but whatever :P . I am once again a bit displeased that he is considered young like Taigong Wang, whats up with them making these guys young bucks. He is good story wise, as his nemesis is Kiyomori, but finds more fasination with Lu Bu.

Use his R1, then use his C5 and get a 100+ combo with it. It'll then turn yellow, further and slowly orange and with an absolute mass killing, it will become red.

ah, thanks LDZ, hmm, seems like a lot of work for a temporary upgrade, although in fairness it is pretty strong

Ahh ... I finally got another chance to use Mr.Minamoto :P

At his current level of 20, I'm not sure how much more powerful his powered-up sword is, but it is cool as hell to activate B)

I can't wait to level him up more to see what kind of destruction he can do :ph43r:

That's how Yoshitsune is usually portrayed in games and other media. He's always portrayed at a very young age (late teens to early twenties) as opposed to his counterpart Benkei who is usually much older.

I don't know about Taigong Wang though.

Back to Yoshitsune, he's easily my favorite character in the entire game. He's an absolute monster in VS mode and all of his attacks are devastating in story/free mode. I like how can he power up his blade, but I rarely ever use it, since it seems weaker than the regular powered blade. His powered up blade seems to have no elements attached to it.

Story-wise, I really like how he's portrayed. He's noticeably smaller (probably around 5'6") but he still takes on big guys like Lu Bu, Keiji and Kiyomori without hesitation and can easily mop the floor with any of them. Only thing I don't like is that he doesn't really connect to anyone in the game, aside from Lu Bu and Kiyomori. They certainly could've gone MUCH deeper into the relationship between him and Kiyomori.

On a random sidenote, I'm sort of surprised that Yoshitsune has a praise quote for Kiyomori. Whenever Kiyomori scores an officer KO, with AI Yoshitsune on the battlefield, Yoshitsune will praise Kiyomori: "He fights like he's possessed!"

A young warrior fought against Lu Bu.
I have to say his R1 makes the weapon stronger. Sometimes I forget how the weapon will become yellow.His C8 is not kind of good tome. His charge attacks are pretty good too.
Story: He didn't have much appearance on the story. Itsukushima and Ru Xu Kou. In Dream Mode he makes an appearance in Nan Zhong(Wei Yan's dream stage)/

I think he should have been Power as all his attacks damage so much, even before you special boost his weapon. He's also one of the few characters to openly grapple enemies, love how he picks them up and tosses them all over the place.

He's one of the best moveset characters in the game by far, in fact id say most of the new characters could be argued to be overpowered but they ARE gods...Yoshitsune on the other hand was not but still is very powerful indeed.

Ummm no I think Yoshitsune is fine as a technqiue type, one could argue speed, but as you say his moveset is agressive, so being a technique type gives him a way out as he is heavily combo oriented.

When I first heard he was going to be in the game with a beamsword, I was pessimistic about him, but using him has proven to me he is one of the best new characters moveset wise in the game, his R1, then boost up is really impressive...

@Skode: I'm guessing they either decided not to make him a power type or that they switched him at the last moment. Because to me, if they were to give him that then his Sword of Light yellow upgrade would make him far too deadly... and would kind of defeat the challenge. Perhaps? Anyway, I think they made the correct choice giving him TECH.

The metal pads on his back seem to give the illusion that Yoshitsune has wings, which I thought was a cool design. Strangely, his gauntlet lightsaber can also shoot energy blasts, reverting to a blade afterwards.

I just unlocked his 3rd costume, but haven't seen it yet. Hopefully it was well designed.

This guy is wierd to me at times.
He's not very cocky, but has pride in his familly name. Alot like Ginchyo in a way. His attitude is very no nonsense, but his MS is very flashy (no pun intended for the light saber).

I enjoy all of the grabs he has, it looks cool to see possibly the smallest male in the game slam and throw boars all over the place :lol: . Plus, his C5 has a similar glitch to it as Kenshin's C8, and Cao Pi's C6ex. Its really all he needs to get his saber to red in one shot in a relatively medium sized crowd. The majority of his moves are just nice to look at. His C8 is just a leaping version of his C4, but its good for a cool looking finish.

Overall, he's really strong with deceptive range. Extremely quick attacker as well. He'd be broken with Power type's non flinching, and Speed's jump canceling. Tech is perfect for him since he has no broken/muliti hit moves to be R1'd.

Great addition.

If by blast you mean projectiles, then use his C3/C4 combo. It dishes out PAIN xD

C3 is the first you mentioned, via PS2 it is square+square+triangle.
I like his C6, in which I believe is the one where he grabs a guy and throws him to the ground.

I personly prefer to take his default costume over 2nd or 3rd.

He is cool and has some pretty effective attacks, both for crowd clearing and officer killing.

It is that crowd clearing and officer slaying ability that allows for easy level up and profiency increase.

The only thing that confuses me is that he and Kiyomori came from the Heian period, not the Warring States period. Maybe Orochi's time warp did more damage than imagined if it pulled these two warriors from their era 400 years prior to the Warring States.

It's not very confusing really. Da Ji and Taigong Wang are there, and they don't fit into the time periods the warriors characters are in either. Kiyomori confirmed in one of the storylines that he had been revived by Da Ji or Orochi. Yoshitsune could simply be a mystic immortal like Taigong Wang, Nu Wa and Fu Xi.
