Mine would have to be Zhao Yun because of his appearance, especially in 3 and 6, his attitude towards fighting, and his moveset in earlier games which was really just above average, but very improved in 6 due to the flashy Renbu. Though in all the games his story has barely changed, even with the addition of characters and stages.

What about you?

Pang Tong obviously. :P

When i first played with him, i fell in love with his Musou attack. And if used properly with the right items, you can spam it after one charge attack.

I also like his personality and his sense of humor. :)

this is the only tie for me. Huang Zhong and Yue Ying. i'll stick to Huang Zhong and let tenno handle Yue Ying.

always liked the old guy his MS is a little lacking in some areas, but he's a good solid dependalbe character. i like the dual Scimitar/Bow MS from DW3-5, it's easier to use than Xiahou Yuan and HZ's model's are MUCH better. his Musou used in the right close-up situation is good and takes life, but not the best, with the stumble at the end. he's got good combos, of which several end in devastation.

Huang Zhong has always had a good story, but he's seemed like a loner to me before DW6. all in all a great character with a few flaws.

MA CHAO!, need I say more :D
"The spear of justice"

I have always liked his moves in the past and finally in DW5 they were turned into perfection. Best attack on a horse and fantastic moveset with an awesome C1. And his design and look in DW5 were top notch IMO, love the dragon armor.
But they screwed him over in DW6 by getting rid of his dragon armor and giving him a generic moveset. And now he has a horrible huge ass sword, which does not fit him.

*sigh* -_- Sadly his glory days are over.

Bah, I picked Zhao Yun...

As much as that bothers me, I find it truly hard not too. Zhao Yun was the first character I used, and for a while was my favourite in fact, he is very easy to use, fast, has a move set that can do just about anything. I don't exactly like voting for him because he gets talked up a bit to much. But, that is exactly how the novel portrayed him, so I've got no major objections there either.

Plus, he plays the heroic role rather well, his loyalty to Liu Bei is unquestionable.

It occurs to me that I actually confused Ma Chao for Wei Yan. So all the things I said were actually directed towards him. :lol: I have found that Wei Yan is actually a worthy adversary. I enjoy his rather brainless mumblings. He is indeed very neanderthal. He would be an excellent minion. Muahaha However, I find Yue Ying has the best weapon of the Shu officers, and she's loads more attractive.

You already know who it is for me. *points to sig*

Of course I'm gonna say Guan Yu. He always has a good story line and VA. His moveset though somewhat difficult to use is great once you get the hang of it. As well as him having great interactions with not only other Shu generals but relationships with two of my Wei favs. Plus his great loyalty towards Shu and Liu Bei. He could very easily have just stayed with Cao Cao and helped destroy Shu. But he didn't. What's not to love about the God of War? :P

Do I really have to answer this? ....Alright, I suppose.

:lol: Thank you; I think.

Here's my answer; copied and pasted from way back when (I'd write a new one, but that would be redundant because this peice of text encompasses all that's notable!) -

Ah, Yue Ying. Ah, DW4 Yue Ying.

When I first read about Yue Ying, I flipped out over how cool the elements that made her sounded. She's wearing green and white, my faovurite colours! She's using a scythe! She looks like a Valkyrie! She's aligned with the Moon! She's married but isn't defined by it (cue precursor to my talking of DW5)! She's known for being not attractive by conventional means, which is amazing! She's a genius inventor! She's a tactician! She's an ASTROLOGIST! Those are like, the elements you take, throw into a pot, and boil when creating a character I would love.

And I did. I refused to play with anyone else until I unlocked her in DW4, and I only used the CAW. And playing with her was a good time. SSSSST Musou. With Attackx2. Against Lu Bu. Good times.

She wasn't really featured in alot of campaigns, but the ones she was featured in she did have cool stuff to do. Like Wu & Wei's Cheng Du. Her Juggernauts were there. She gave you instruction at Jie Ting a bit. She protected the seige ramp in Xu Chang. Stuff like that. She handled herself with dignity and resect, but also down-to-earthness and matter-of-factness that was neither cold or rude. Yue Ying was strong in her resolve to do what was best for Shu, and she also had a strong love for her husband (notable when she was defeated or killed, her 'Farewell, my husband...' was so sad). The two of them did things together, but were capable seperately and matched each other well. Zhuge Liang probably needed her to laugh and understand what he was talking about half the time (since few other people would).

She was pretty awesome in DW4.

In DW5, apparently Koei had the great idea that 'Hey, wives are totally obsessed with their husbands and think of nothing else other than stuff that concerns their husbands!'.

It became a running joke between my friends the amount of times she's say 'My husband'. We would replace 'My husband' with 'My taco' 'Kursty the Klown' and 'Nobunaga'.

Her outfit was change and it was still great in a design sense, but it lost some of the practicallity in leiu of a more distinctive shillouette... Which looked like a poofy dress. I love her DW5 design, but I will admit it looks like she's wearing a poofy dress and apron. Her boots are amazing though and I will have them someday.

So the only reason I could really keep liking her in DW5 was because of my immense love of her in DW4. Yes, it was that huge.

That and her boots.

But really, beyond this rant - I do love Yue Ying still. I love her courage, I love her intelligence, her strength, and her faith. The one aspect about her that Koei seems to like (beyond MY HUSBAND) is that she's among the most faithful of Shu's troops, I've found (or not, it's just that her faith is most mentioned). She's faithful despite being an inventor and tactician. In MO, it's furthered - she has faith that her husband is not evil. She has faith that Shu will succeed, and she refuses to submit. She has faith in herself and her allies.

Faith can go a long way.

For me i liked the ever sarcastic and laid back personality of Pang Tong, he has one of the most unorthodox fighting styles but his musuo is invaluable in any situation be it against a tough officer or to crowd clear.

Wow.. You really like Yue Ying.. O.O

This is hard too... Hm..

I say Zhang Fei.. He's fast(ish), strong, and has a cool looking weapon.
I love his story mode, and yeah, I started using him in DW5, and basicly fell in love. His part in Chang Ban, was astounding. Then DW6 comes out, so I decide to use him, and to my surprise, his MS, and weapon actually improved.
His personality: the drunken fighter whose loyality never wavers! Simply awesome.
2nd Choices would be: Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao (in no order)

I cant pick between, Jiang We and Xin Cai, Ill go for Jiang Wei.

I like him because he defeated me on Wu Zhang plains, after me and my cousins thought he was Zhao Yun, to be fair they looked alike. In DW4 i didnt play him much cos well, I disliked DW4 a bit, even though hia DW4 outfit is the best he has ever had. In DW5 I played as him, and got used to im muh much more and I wouldnt rest untilhe was maxed out haha. Also funny thing, I am not sure if anyone else has found this but on DW5 : XL, load original and play Tian Shui on Shu side, when Jiang Wei is retreating back to the main castle and Zhuge tells you to stop him, when you encounter him and an officer says something ( for me it was Zhao Yun with his ' This batlefield belongs to us') and instead of Zhao Yun and that line show up, Jiang Weis face showed and the line was 'dummy', it wasnt said though which was disappointing

Ummm...yea....what he said :mellow:

That pretty much sums it up for me. Plus I love the relationship with his brothers. I've said it before, they remind me of me and my 2 brothers alot even though I'm the oldest, and Yu is the middle brother he's the protector of them and the most known. (but historically I heard GY was the oldest. IDK)

I would have to say Zhuge Liang he is a very smart character and always have back up plans when one of his plans fail. His moveset isn't that bad and i liked his C3 where it breaks anyones block and also liked his C6 that took loads of life from officers and also at the end of his musou it takes quite a lot of life against officers.

I like the majority of Shu characters but I have to say Zhuge Liang. Out of Shu I like his moveset and costume the best. In Empires I usually start forces with him quite often.
And IMO he has an awesome personality, VA, and position historically. He's basically a genius (I hope I spelled that right) and one of the greatest strategists of all time. If only he would've lived longer Shu would've done much better.

Otherwise my other Shu favorites are Jiang Wei, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, and Lie Bei. Basically the whole army. :lol:

I would go to Guan Yu (DW5), he is my 3rd favorite DW character, he has very good movesets with great wide-range and he is a very good crowd clearer. Plus he has a cool beard ^_^

Zhang Fei, obviously
His moveset may have only been really good in DW6, although it was good in DW4-5 anyways, but I like his brash personality, he is a man of pure emotion, thats what I like.
His story is great especially his main scene at Chang Ban, it would be better if he interacted with more people besides his Brothers, like Zhao Yun or Ma Chao.
The weapon in DW6 looks awesome, something that looks really intimidating fitting of Zhang Fei.
I hope Koei can establish his character a bit more though.
Other Choices: Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Wei Yan :)
