Comparison between Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce (DWSF) and Dynasty Warriors 6 (DW6)

What both DWSF and DW6 have?
Same character design
Same Square attack and Triangle attack strings
You start with Yellow Turban Rebellion stage as always for most :P

What DWSF has?
Town available for your to purchase and customize your weapon, armour
Able to equip any weapon as your sub-weapon
Able to attach Chi and Orbs on your hands and feet
Able to fly, dash, multiple jump based on what you equip
Let you collect the ingredient to build the armors and weapon
Able to let you to buy the items from town and bring to the battlefield
Able to transform in Fury mode
Support up to 4 people in ad-hoc mode
Able to switch any character you want through the Shrine/Temple
Able to upgrade your town with the cards you collect
Able to choose your missions and sub-missions
Large monster, colussus gate, tank and various giant weapons to attack
Strategy - for example: Seal the tiger's cave to prevent them keep coming out attacking you
4 costumes + 4 awakening forms (palatte swap)
VS mode - 2 VS 2
Air Combat
Air Musou
New BGMs and remixed BGMs
New CG and opening movies
36 people to start with ? more to unlock
Decloned characters from DW6S with 2 more de-cloned - Huang Zhong & Xiahou Yuan
All stages are total redesigned
Mission and Sub-missions available

What DWSF doesn't have? (compare to DW6)
There is no swimming and climbing in DWSF (but you can fly)
There is less enemies on the screen (but each AIs have become harder)
The gate is not able to destroy by weapon (you may have to find the key to get the gate opened)
You're no longer take the base and defeat the officer to win the battle, there's sub-mission for you to destroy, for example: find the key, kill the animals.
No VS modes like in DW6 (VS mode in DWSF is 2 vs 2)
No Free Mode (seems so)
KO is now changed to Points
No Renbu system (no Renbu rank)
No 2 players in split screen since it's for the PSP (but supports up to 4 players on 4 PSPs.

Sorry they got decloned but with same move for both, not the same one as SSX but you can differentiate its difference. On the official site of JP, it's stated that Huang Zhong is using Warrior bow and Xiahou Yuan is using an xxx bow (forgot the name) but when I equipped them in the expo they're the same but different from SSX one.

SSX one Musou is shooting the bow to the sky then do the spinning bird kick but Warrior Bow is just shooting the bow to the enemy and the big explosion shoot in the end in massive range.

That's Huang Zhong's Warrior Bow Zhao Yun used. As you can see the Square moveset is a bit different from SSX one. but Huang Zhong and Xiahou Yuan move for the bow is the same and different from SSX.

Also remember the weapon / decloned aren't important now because you can equip the sub weapon and change them if you want.

Um... the bow moveset SSX uses and that Yue Ying used to have is probably... too graceful and acrobatic for Huang Zhong and Xiahou Yuan. I think they would have more brutal things like the wide-range explosions Plu mentioned.

interesting. so i can, in effect, give Zhen Ji Cao Pi's sword MS? now that would be brilliant. is there any indication that there will be any extra unusual weapons(besides the whip, crossbow/machine gun, staff, claws)? or are the MS limited to standard weapons?

Strikeforce. The idea of Koei going in a more 'fantasy' approach sounds fantastic.
And I want to see Dong Zhou using Zhang He's claws, and Xiao Qiao using Dong Zhou's club.

Anything's better than DW6. They're actually taking the combat forward in this game, instead of backwards, so I'm all for it.

Has this been totally confirmed? I understand that Lu Bu and the other characters like him, like Diao Chan, Dong Zhuo are all part of the Others Forces, and if memory serves me right, the Others Forces do not have a Story mode. To play the Others Forces, you must play them via the Free Mode, so I doubt what you say about no Free Mode in Strikeforce is true.

Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it's not there. No other information has come out on whether there is or isn't a free mode. To blatantly write it off without seeing any information is kinda premature.
This is my signature... don't you like it?
