Sun Wukong and Hideyoshi ftw! Seeing two monkeys fighting it out with very long sticks is pretty entertaining if you ask me. ^^

Musashi and Sasaki still hold a place in my heart. Maybe because of the myths and history behind it.

I would Say the two legendary warriors from each time and each game, Lu Bu and Tadakatsu Honda only because of that reason being so powerful and all but in history Tadakatsu was more compared to Zhang Fei but in the games then Lu Bu.

Nobunaga and Cao Cao facing off would be the battle of the ages!! :XD However I'd rather see them working together like in WO2.. they looked like long-lost brothers reunited

I would have to say Tadakatsu Honda vs Lu Bu, because if you realize it, The battle of Hu lao Gate was never a real battle, just a fictional one made for the Romance of the 3 Kingdoms book. There weapons at the time werent as developed, and Tadakatsu Honda was known to have never been scathed or wounded in battle and he also never lost a duel same as Musashi
"You think Tadakatsu would actually lose to Lu Bu? Read a book and you will know who win!"

Here's a list of mutual rivalries found in the WO series. All of the characters within these relationships either have something in common with one another or possess notable traits and qualities that clash with each of their counterparts.

Zhao Yun & Yukimura Sanada
Guan Yu & Kenshin Uesugi
Zhang Fei/Gan Ning & Keiji Maeda
Liu Bei/Sun Quan & Ieyasu Tokugawa
Zhuge Liang/Sun Jian & Shingen Takeda
Ma Chao/Zuo Ci & Kanetsugu Naoe
Huang Zhong & Ina
Jiang Wei/Ranmaru Mori
Guan Ping/Xiahou Dun & Masamune Date
Xing Cai & Oichi
Xu Zhu & Musashi Miyamoto
Cao Cao & Nobunaga Oda
Sima Yi & Mitsuhide Akechi
Zhen Ji & No
Cao Ren & Nagamasa Azai
Cao Pi & Mitsunari Ishida
Pang De & Katsuie Shibata
Taishi Ci & Toshiie Maeda
Sun Shang Xiang & Magoichi Saika
Lu Meng & Sakon Shima
Huang Gai & Yoshihiro Shimazu
Sun Ce & Hideyoshi Toyotomi
Da Qiao & Ginchiyo Tachibana
Xiao Qiao & Kunoichi
Zhou Tai & Hanzo Hattori
Ling Tong & Okuni
Lu Bu & Tadakatsu Honda
Dong Zhuo & Kotaro Fuma
Yuan Shao/Zhang Jiao & Yoshimoto Imagawa
Meng Huo & Goemon Ishikawa
Zhu Rong & Nene
Orochi & Da Ji
Yoshitsune Minamoto & Kiyomori Taira
There's a few more. Lu Meng & Hideyoshi, Sun Quan & Hideyoshi (okay, for that one dream stage only), Ranmaru & Lu Meng (I think... I know I got a few friendship things with those two in the first game), Sun Ce & Masamune (he says something special when you defeat him with Masamune at He Fei).

I think my favorite is the classic Nobunaga & Cao Cao. I jizzed in my pants when I read about that, and that's physically impossible for me. That tells you how awesome it is.

Tadakatsu and Zhang Fei.
What can I say, they match each other well, their guardians, sentinals in different battles, I find this a more suitable match than Lu Bu and Tadakatsu, I think Lu Bu should be paired with Keiji. ^_^
I agree whole-heartedly with Zhang Fei and Honda Tadakatsu. I believe there was even an old nickname given to Tadakatsu that literally labels him as "Zhang Fei of Japan". Both hit hard and are loyal retainers to their masters, not to mention both have daughters.

On that note, I think Inahime and Xing Cai would follow up as another good "rivalry" of sorts. Wei Yan and Hanzo should probably get a mention as well.

- I'd still feel Cao Cao cannot be compared to Nobunaga. Just an impression I guess.
I don't know how anyone could even say such a thing unless they were unaware of history, both were great civil administrators and military leaders. Each had a long list of innovations they came up with in society for their respective times. Both conquered the majority of their nations using similiar methods prior to their deaths, etc, etc. As far as DW vs. SW is concerned, there is no better comparison be made or rivalry to be struck up.

FWIW, I consider the Cao Cao-Nobunaga cutscene from WO1 to be among the best in all of the Warriors games.

There weapons at the time werent as developed, and Tadakatsu Honda was known to have never been scathed or wounded in battle and he also never lost a duel same as Musashi
Then why compare Lu Bu to Tadakatsu? In all honesty, I don't hold Lu Bu in very high regard (historically), and I'm of the opinion that notable generals like Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Zhang Fei all surpassed him at one point or another. I'm quite confident that Honda Tadakatsu is beyond him as well.

Since you are taking a historic perspective however, I think you're also exaggerating Tadakatsu's achievements a bit as well. "Never being scathed in battle" is just a rumor, but in the likely scenario of it being true, daimyo and generals rarely entered combat personally. Also, while there's little doubt that Tadakatsu was a talented warrior, he has never been mentioned as a duelist on par with the likes of Musashi.

But I won't undermine his actual achievements. In my opinion, Honda Tadakatsu was still a brilliant strategist and undoubtedly a fierce warrior in his own right. Especially in a historical context, I think the Zhang Fei comparison makes more sense given how much they have in common; certainly more so than comparing him with a backstabbing muscle-head like Lu Bu. ;)
