I also thought Lu Bu in DW6/6: Empires/Strikeforce looked a little too bulky. I also agree with those who say wait for a higher quality image of Lu Bu to be released before passing on complete and final judgment.

I'm also wanting to see Cao Pi as well. I expect him to be there since Sima Yi also served under him...even if they placed Sima Yi in Jin now.

I'm sort of split on Lu Bu's new design. The midriff showing isn't really his thing, it just doesn't suit him. I'm glad he kept the black/red motif. His face definitely looks much fatter this time. I'm gonna wait until we see the CGs before I say anything though, seeing as this is a semi-low quality photo at an angle.

Omg...Whining like a child isn't going to change how Lu Bu looks. You don't like it, then don't play it. It is what it is. Man...You guys act like he HAS to be the way you want him to be. If you wanted it that way, take some graphic art classes, go apply to work for Koei, then show them your ideas.
Same could be said for everyone whining about how any character looks :sly:
I would'nt count mine or other people's comments "whining" personally i never really liked Lu Bu (Sun Ce fan forever) but he did look badass in DW6 and in previous games, to be honest when i saw this picture i laughed i dont hate it but he doesnt look like he is going to use any weapons but yet his fists in combat. :hehe:
Fists? Oh man, i hope, he's not one of those, who uses that gauntlet.
He will surely have one of his old weapons.

By the way, nice spoilers JoshuaAJ.

Guess nobody posted it before so...
Yummy pic there:

Posted Image
His face looks like the one from an eagle. Look at it closely. He looks
like, he's going to dive from the air on his prey.
And, is that an optical illusion, or does he have 3 legs?

And about his pheasant feathers:

I think, they're removed for this time. They are surely not cutted of the poster, just because they doesn't fit completely in it. This is a poster for promotion. Why show him to the people, which are walking around of the poster, without his entire outfit? The people would find it more interesting, when they would show his entire outfit with the feathers in the poster too.

Or (it's a kind of joke):

The feathers are still in. Under his right arm (from our view), near the white writings, there is something, that looks like the feather-thing. But that means, that they're very very long this time. Spreading out from his head-wear, over the Koei-Tecmo-Logo, passing his arm along to the ground.

Personally, I much prefer this way. I find that his design in DW6 been slightly exaggerated, even if it was good.

So that's how Lu Bu looks this time. Well I wait for the full CG render before judging him. Still I hope he isn't missing the pheasant feathers.

First when I saw that pic I thought for a second it was Sun Quan :D

I think it looks like either a really good Gan Ning or a really bad Lu Bu, really.

Thanks, I would of thought that he would have looked like his DW6 design, maybe his red hare is wearing his black armor now, I doubt he will be using his fists but by the way he is standing looks like he is holding his DW6 weapon but split, like he is holding one in each hand. :hehe:

I think the feathers are there. The red thing on his head looks kinda feathery and appears to be splitting out. The bit under his shoulder doesn't look like his arm or abut of robe or something, and could easily be the same colour only darker because of the shade.

This is surely not a cg-pic with weapon. On the right of him is standing SSX in her normal cg without weapon. I think, he's just spreading his arms like an eagle, which is going to grab his prey. Look at this face.

I think that it is more or less like his DW5 design.

By far it's Lu Bu's best look in any game. Finally he doesn't look like a 4 year old whose parents decided to let him dress himself with mish-mashed cloths and a nonsensical color scheme.

Admitted his DW6 costume didn't look like that, but that one was just too much. I felt like I was running from a terrifying suit of armor the whole time, not the badass man inside of it.

Slightly off-topic: So UGO made a list of gaming's most androgynous characters of all time, and in 1st place is none other than our Zhang He.

http://www.ugo.com/games/the-25-most-androgynous-video-game-characters

The whole article's a pretty funny read.

Surely has to be Lu Bu, which is disappointing since its a pretty dire attempt.

I'm still baffled as to why Koei seem set on removing any and all historical detail: visual details are of course rare from that era, but why remove some of the enduring and well-known characteristics? - Lu Bu's pheasant feathers, Dian Wei's halberds and Sima Shi's entire physical description to name a few.

It's not a unibrow, the dark part in the middle is the shadow of his furrowed brow.

Oh.. My.. God..

Look at Lu Bu... Im happy hes lost his tank armour, why does someone who needs skill of a 1000 need so much armour.. He looks amazing... yet im not crazy about his hair..

Hmm.. what weapon will he get :p...
Armor is practical, nay, essential in battle.

Look at it this way; Lu Bu isn't simply noted for his skill, he's noted for his incredible physical strength. So he's able to move as swiftly in full plate armor as Gan Ning can move while shirtless and wearing only baggy pants.

Lu Bu also has a reputation of being 'invincible' on the battlefield. And only armor can give some sort of weight to that reputation. It tells you that even *if* you somehow manage to get by his defenses, your weapon will in all likelihood glance off his armor and leave you open for a counter attack anyway.

I mean does anyone honestly look at DW3-5 Gan Ning and think of the word 'invincible'? I doubt it. I think of the phrase 'glass cannon' to be honest.

Zhao Yun can have an open midriff and get away with it, but on Lu Bu, its simply...odd.

Lu Bu looks awesome and sexy! I have got to say that this is his best look so far. He kind of reminds me of Gan Ning's model in ROTK XI.

Is this a real question right now.

It's the release date, that image is a promotional poster. That's Lu Bu's CG design that'll more than likely be released on Famitsu, but I think we all could use a clear shot of it.

I personally didn't like his design 'cause I thought his DW6 design was amazing. But he might get the most badass weapon of all time and makes me change my opinion of him.
