Will the title "Lu Bu of SW" be usurped again?; Seriously, too many strong characters...

I think it doesn't matter, because Keiji had very few historical deeds that can make him as a Sengoku Saikyou, Tadakatsu had many, too many, Warriors clad in Patinum Armor, Wielder of Tonbo-Giri, The warrior that surpasses the death itself, Luxury of Tokugawa, Tokugawa's greatest guardian, Unparalleled of the east, and so on... So Koei cannot just pick someone like that, they must have at least a historical record that really shows that they are the Sengoku Saikyou. so for me it is Tadakatsu.

I would laugh if Koei really made it EXTRA clear who the Lu Bu of SW is... but tricked us!

As in making Tadakatsu own Keiji in a cutscene.


Then later on, Muneshige(Unrivalled in the west!) and Tadakatsu(Unrivalled in the east!) matches eachother and does a draw in a cutscene, and we now have to decide which one them is the Lu Bu.

>_< DAMN YOU KOEI!

They already did that in the first SW:

But yea, I'm also wondering how Muneshige fits into all of this.

I read that Muneshige and Tadakatsu matches each other and does a draw in a cutscene in SW3

I think Muneshige is Lu Bu of SW3 cuz koei changes Lu Bu every part of the game

I think Oichi will be the strongest, no seriously.

































Okay, I lied. I think Muneshige will be strongest. It would be cool if he killed Tadakatsu in a cutscene.

By the way, in SW2 Tadakatsu was a useless ally for me, always struggling and asking for help, then when you leave him for two seconds he starts to struggle again.

And then when you beat him, he's like "There is no honour in treating one's life recklessly," when he's already treated you recklessly in the past 2 minutes D=<.

I Totally Disagree On That
Even If Tadakatsu Always Struggling In The Game And Asking For Help
There's No Need To Help Him Bcuz I Always Leave Him Struggling And When I Look On His Health Bar He Will Be Not Hurt Too Much

But none of them lose too much health, unless if they're facing a rage mode general, or unless if they face like 5 generals at the same time. True story.

He shouldn't even be struggling in the first place tbh, if he's supposed to be the "Lu Bu of SW", Lu Bu only struggles like once in a battle if he's being swarmed, Tadakatsu struggles like 15 times and then when I find him he's fighting like 2 peasants.

Well, in all fairness, all the officers have the tendency to panic from time to time, even if the threat is a peon or two with pointy sticks shooting them mean glances from ten feet away. It's just a poor AI set-up that for some reason didn't crop up as much in DW, especially DW6, where your allied generals will steamroll the entire enemy army if you give them an opening. Tadakatsu never really seems to struggle in the battles I fight, so it's really a YMMV situation.

Fair enough, I guess. Lots of the other generals do struggle too, I just find it a bit weird that Tadakatsu should be struggling. If Muneshige struggles like 20 times, I will eat my head and then concede to Tadakatsu.

Equally you could say Keiji is because he has his own horse - I hope SW3 has a Theme for Keiji. Muneshige was compared by Hideyoshi to being a Tadakatsu - but for final proof:

Take One bonkers serpent king:

Then Warp China & Japan Together...

And watch the cutscene!

Tadakatsu vs Lu Bu!

And if you leave on the SW stage were Tadakastu shows up on Warriors Orochi - Tadakatsu will beat Lu Bu without needing ANY assistance.

I think that says everything...
"Swift as the wind"
"Fierce as the fire"
"Silent as the forest"
"Immovable as the mountain"

That is probably the worst logic I have seen on the topic :mellow:

Comparing it to another series, I just don't see how that makes sense. I mean, I feel that way towards WO, its a different series, but SB is way out there :blink:

I will vote for Honda Tadakatsu.
Personally I feel he is nemisis of Lu Bu,
Someone who is of equal strength and power, but yet of different personalities.

As for Kenji,
He is just a Lu Bu's wannabe.
He is nearly as strong as Lu bu but yet still slightly weaker.

In SW1 since there is no Honda, without challenges the title goes to the wannabe.
But after they introduce Honda , I think every realise that Honda is the most powerful and feared warrior that can match Lu Bu's strength in every way.

Tadakatsu can match Lu Bu's strength, defensivly. In SW2, Keiji gets more attack, and Tadakatsu more defence of the two, making Keiji the more offensive and Tadakatsu the more defensive.
Personally, I'd say the more offensive is the more Lu Bu like, and the fact he has stuck being the one with the best unique horse in the game (much like another offensive warrior in a certain other game :rolleyes: ) I'm still sticking that Keiji was the Lu Bu in the past.

As far as SW3 goes though, I'm unsure if this will stick. His new look certainly does have something Lu Bu-ish about it though, but Tadakatsu's bull horns also suggest he may be a bit more attack based as well. We'll just have to wait and see.
I can see Muneshige being up there in the powerful aura-ish state quite often, however I somehow doubt he'll match up to those two.

Keiji was not a wannabe Lu Bu in SW1. He WAS the Lu Bu of SW series until Tadakatsu showed up. But it was just so wierd that they didn't put Tadakatsu right in the first game, he was a generic NPC. Btw, I prefer Keiji over Tadakatsu everyday.

I would really call Keiji the: Zhang Liao or Guan Yu of Samurai Warriors.

As for The Lu Bu, that role will forever be Tadakatsu's, ever since Koei made him the chief Rival of Lu Bu in Warriors Orochi. They're on the cover together, after all.

Still, there IS one final character yet to be revealed, isn't there? I suppose you can never really be sure of what you have until all the fog lifts.

WRONG.

Starting Statistics SW2
Keiji vs Tadakatsu
Life 128 128 EQUAL
Musou 82 82 EQUAL
Attack 95 96 Tadakatsu wins(+1)
Defense 95 96 Tadakatsu wins(+1)
Ride 95 94 Keiji wins(+1)
Speed 94 90 Keiji wins(+4)
Dex 86 90 Tadakatsu wins(+4)
Luck 93 93 EQUAL

Tadakatsu wins total stats by 1.

Final statistics SW2
Keiji vs Tadakatsu
Life 317 317 EQUAL
Musou 246 246 EQUAL
Attack 198 200 Tadakatsu wins(+2)
Defense 198 200 Tadakatsu wins(+2)
Ride 185 184 Keiji wins(+1)
Speed 154 150 Keiji wins(+4)
Dex 146 150 Tadakatsu wins(+4)
Luck 190 189 Keiji wins(+1)

Tadakatsu wins total stats by 2. So he increased his lead. XD



But as you can see, Tadakatsu have the maximum amount of offensive power AND defensive power.

Keiji is matched by Kenshin in offensive power(well, before you count the weapon), and by Shingen in defensive power.

Tadakatsu has the highest Max HP(shared by Keiji and Shingen), and NO ONE but him has 200 attack and defense.

Well, it is silly to compare Keiji and Lu Bu just because they are big and have horses. Lu Bu shares Red Hare with Guan Yu, also.

On the other note, Tadakatsu actually has his horse in the game. Ink Stone is the other name of Three Kingdoms Black/Dynasty Black, the horse he rode at Sekigahara.

True about the horses, but horses don't make men.

I just feel like Tadakatsu is the Lu Bu of the game because of his legendary status of being "Untouchable"

In Legend, Keiji was supposedly a kabukimono..It's said he had a nice horse, he was apparently a big fella, but he was also a rebel.

I think Tadakatsu's persona and ability match up better with Lu Bu.

A comparison was made some time ago based on this same discussion.

http://s13.zetaboards.com/koeiwarriors/single/?p=549865&t=254539

http://s13.zetaboards.com/koeiwarriors/single/?p=550349&t=254539

- Based on SW2 base attack stats (not including weapons), Tadakatsu is stronger.

- Based on SW2 total attack stats (including 4th weapon), Keiji becomes the strongest.

- SW2:XL allows you to evenly match the weapon stats and with both characters having +50 base attack and +60 ATK bonus, Tadakatsu still emerges the winner.



I personally feel that all of that strength analysis is rather moot, because Lu Bu remains unique in that he has no one that compares to him in his respective series. Keiji and Tadakatsu will always have each other to battle it out with, while Lu Bu remains unchallenged (Zuo Ci I don't count, even if his attack stats could place him higher ... same goes for Musashi in SW2)

I don't think either Keiji or Tadakatsu command the same level of fear/respect that Lu Bu does when you encounter them on the battlefield. Sure, they're strong and tough to defeat, but KOEI really doesn't build them up the same way they do with Lu Bu.

If I was forced to choose one, it would be Tadakatsu, but I wouldn't come to that decision lightly/quickly :mellow:
