He also seems to be attracted to Lu Bu in some way :blink:
lol


His "attraction" to Lu Bu is basically like Tadakatsu's in WO1.
It's probably because Lu Bu resembles Benkei in many ways.
What's Benkei like?
I never actually played a game involving Yoshitsune or Benkei before.
I wanna play Genji, but I'm afraid i dont have a ps3 .... yet :XD

Well, Lu Bu is similar to Benkei in a few aspects. Benkei is often described with demon-like attributes, wild hair, long teeth, and great size. His most famous deed is in his standing death where he defended Yoshitsune from Yoritomo's army. He stood on a bridge that lead into the castle grounds and killed every enemy soldier that tried to cross, no matter how many attacked him. Despite suffering many wounds, he continued to fight, until the enemy army was afraid to cross the bridge, fearing his ferocity. Eventually, hours later, they realized that Benkei, now ridden with arrows and wounds, didn't move. He died standing a while before.

Well...Lu Bu may not be similar to Benkei in terms of personality, in terms of physical strength, they're similar.

Also, you don't need a PS3. Just play the Genji Dawn of the Samurai game on the PS2, I also recommend it. Personally I think it's better than the 2nd game.

Yoshitsune also seemed fond of Kiyomori as well, before the latter sold his soul to Orochi and became the monster he is now.

I call it a celestial sword :lol: . In reference to Ushiwaka from Okami, who is actually the same person, who creates a sword of light from his flute.

I think Yoshitsune's weapon of choice is due to the myths that surround him. I remember reading myths describing Yoshitsune's sword as a ray of light whenever he attacked.
I call it, a Glowing Toothpick.

Admit it. It really looks like "a" toothpick :whistle:

It looks more like a 'lighter' to me.

Genji: Days of the Blade was fun but the camera is absolutely horrible. You have no way of adjusting it and it makes for awkward movements --- especially during some platforming sequences. Shizuka is like Nu Wa in that they both have light colored hair and they're both hot :lol:

Anyway, on topic, I think that along with Nagamasa (SW2: XL) and Kojiro (SW2: XL and WO2) and to an extent, Kenshin, Yoshitsune might just be the most effective normal-type character ever. A lot of people praised Mitsuhide in SW2, but I personally could not be effective with him. He just didn't deal as much damage as he should have.

When Yoshitsune's Sun Gauntlet is equipped with the optimum attributes, he can basically lay waste anyone at anytime (thanks to his ability that increases damage).

C1 - I haven't found much use for this but it's pretty good for knocking riders off their horses :lol:

C2 - Standard normal-type launcher. Ok to start a combo with especially if you have Air on your weapon

C3 - I normally stay away from this charge when using normal-types, but this seems to be an exception as it is relatively fast, does good damage and covers a wider area than most normal C3s

C4 - Great crowd clearer. Minamoto slices twice and can mow down a decent number of peons

C5 - My favorite move. With this Yoshitsune effectively clears crowds and launches officers to devastating effect (when Multi and Air are involved).

C6 - As is typical with normal-types, this is basically a powered up version of the C3 --- powered up because it dizzies a crowd as opposed to just to the focal character. I like this move simply because it's unblockable.

C7 - Similar to Kojiro's grab where after the throw adjacent enemies get hit for pretty good damage. Pretty useful in higher difficulties when being surrounded by an officer and henchmen.

C8 - As snazzy as this move looks, it's difficult to aim. I'll have to experiment more with this.

Can't tell why, but his moveset "feels" best on the controller.

I'd really like to have him in SW, and not only fighting with or against snakes in WO...

A great character, especially in Survival Mode.

C1 is a good ranged attack.

C2, good for knocking Power Characters before they attack you.

C3, meh, really fast however, and can stun.

C4, Meh, good range, and knockback.

C5, Meh

C6, brilliant, unblockable.

C7, also brilliant, unblockable, and can throw opponents out of the ring.

C8, if you send an opponent flying with this, they won't come back.

Definitely one of my favorite characters in the Orochi universe. I just wished he had more story to him than being scary obsessed with Lu Bu *__* That totally made me go "OH LOL". Love his moveset! It's so fun to do for some reason. So spammable. And god. I think KOEI made him too powerful :')) NO ONE CAN BEAT ME WHEN I PLAY AS HIM WITH ALMIGHTY ON. Not even in Chaos. :|

Yoshitsune aka Birdman is okay, not one of my favorites but he does have a good moveset. I might actually play him again to give him another chance but I doubt it. >.<

I've become a fan of Yoshitsune as well............

Something weird about his C5 that I see Weapoin attributes are:
Slay
Bolt
Multi
Brave
Air
Might
Flash
Agility

When against a lone officer, it doesn't do much damage.........but against a bunch of officers and peons, it practically kills EVERYONE!

Now is that the multi/bolt taking effect? I'm still not familiar with these attributes.

He's awesome, and I think that he's cool with long, indigo hair. And what's with the "wings" and beetle headpiece? He looks better without those on...

Btw, I am recently a die-hard Minamoto fan, and Yoshitsune is probably great. No kidding, he's the first character I ended up unlocking as well as the highest-leveled character and the one with the highest proficiency which made him have 5 backgrounds already. I think he's already Level 68 in my WO2.

lol with his Musou Attack, it made compare him to Rinoa Heartilly and her Blaster Edge. Hahaha.

:D But hey, he's downright awesome and he seems to look like he's moping... Reminds me of Squall Leonhart. That's why I keep comparing the two to each other...

Yoshitsune fanart - I hope you guys like it.

His most famous deed is in his standing death where he defended Yoshitsune from Yoritomo's army.

Benkei's a big man with a wooden fist-like thing for a weapon and very much like a human in WO2 for the PSP and MOZ.

"His most famous deed is in his standing death where he defended Yoshitsune from Yoritomo's army." Well... I sure hope that Yoritomo would be in a new KOEI game in the future..
