No offense to a Xiahou Dun fan...but him. I completed his musou and got him to level 50, but, I didn't really enjoy using him at all, especially compared to his DW5/WO personality and combat style. In 6 the main plus point in him is his range, but because of just how kind of similar and emotionless all his attacks look (once again, its just my opinion), and his personality losing his hot-tempered persona which we all grew to love, I'm upset to say so.

Other than him, nobody, I even really enjoyed using the new Dian Wei in this game even if all he got was curses by various fans. Back then I wouldn't of predicted me being here and saying this about him now. I'm glad. Though I'm still not fond of his appearance that much.

I think my only complaints are probably historically related.

Xu Zhu was not retarded >.> He was one of Cao Cao's most able bodyguards, next to only Dian Wei. I was a bit appaled at the lack of respect for his character there. And Zhang He =/ He was nothing like that at all. I understand they wanted to create diversity but they could have been a little better about honoring some characters properly instead of making them the 'dunce' corner of DW.

Hmm, I love using Xiahou Dun and Dian Wei in 6, which I suppose puts me in the minority here. Once you discover what works best with each character, there really is no bad character to use in 6, IMO.

Except Ma Chao, that is. Even with the best weapon with the best skills you can get, his lack of any crowd clearing moves and range make him a chore to play as.

Shouldn't this be put in the DW6 section or maybe Stickied... :mellow:

DW6...
Well, Ma Chao really comes to mind when I think of this topic.
When you compare him to the other spear users, he is the least affective.
Plus, I hate his armor, it's not "splendid" enough, like his other suits.
Him...and Dong Zhou. I didn't like him too much in the other DW games.
I found him usable in WO.
But now...he's horrible. I find him the worse of the clubbers.

That's about it.

Gameplay-wise Lu Bu is not horrible but just not as effective as he use to be. But when was that? He's been long dying, like being tormented slowly over the years. Seriously. I even have a hunch that they gave him new black scary armour to give hope of his revival, and it didn't pay off in the end.

His armour looks threatening and his range is not too bad, its just that with the new Renbu system they've made his attacks such as his two specials - for just show and flare. And as I've said before, this applies to most of the characters. Koei probably wanted to replace effective moves with ineffective just to make him look cool. :lol:

Remember this is just my opinion, Lu Bu fans.

Musou Mode Characters
Gan Ning
Something I just dont like about this guy on DW6. He again just seems like an inferior Zhang Liao IMO.  He hits enough of the screen with a Standard weapon, but with his still short reach he gets hit and interupted too much. Plus his special doesnt last as long as  some of the other True Speed characters.

Dian Wei
Lets be honest, short range with alot of power.  But the agility and skill of a mace doesnt really suit a large man like Dian Wei.  His Charge string isnt that bad for movement and crowd clearing, but he doesnt have all of the better enhancements on Swift Attack like Cao Ren and Guan Yu do to make it more effective.

Clones
Lu Meng
Great new look, garbage compared to the rest of the halberds, which are the better clone MS in the game.  Particularly because he has Rockfall, but his effects on his MS are really lame explosions.  Xu Huang has them as well, but True Speed is the better Tome.

The Sword MS (Quan, Pi, & Shao)
Their only redeeming quality is that they all have Volley, which is great for building Renbu fast.  And Quan also has Horsemanship.  But the MS is very short area of effectiveness, and the charge string is lame as can be.  Cao Pi can be good with infinite Renbu and and Ice weapon, but thats about it.

OMG are you mad, those points haven't been takin into much consideration. Lu Meng had an amazing Halberd moveset, at least he had effects aded to him with the fire, it adden some uniqueness and highlighted that we wont be being de-cloned. At least he had effects, Guan Ping was zero, he had nothing, if not a flashy light at the end of an attack, thats worse, those little arms of Pings are shocking. An Dian Wei, fair point, but what other weapon can he have, he has never been made historically accurate so the Chain and Ball dosn't matter. Gan Ning had the highest attack for a majority of the characters, if not all of Wu, his range is fine with the standard weapon, but he is easily interrupted which is another fair point. An despite being blamed as bias, there was far worse movesets than Mengs , and perhaps Dian Weis.
