Xu Chu 's design still the SHAME thing of Wei Kingdom :meantongue:






Xu Chu from Ravages of Time manga is the best. (I posted this in Dynasty Warriors 7 [V2] thread.)

Man, Sun Jian is looking *sharp* there. That's a pretty pimp getup.

I think Sun Jian is one character who has gotten progressively better designs with each new game. He's gone from fairly generic knight with a silly voice to a thorough badass. I like it.

I think it was already addressed, but I don't think my ability as a videogame reviewer is really the subject of this thread. There are many other outlets through which you can let me know I am awful. This shouldn't be one of them. <3

Back on-topic, I just think the "fat dimwit" trope is played out, and was never funny to begin with. I don't know why anybody in any entertainment medium thinks it's a funny stereotype, because it's just ... not. It leads to very annoying characters, and Xu Zhu is one of the worst offenders. His more recent voiceovers have been borderline offensive with their "DUUUUR, I'M STOOPID" delivery.

It takes a lot of talent to make a mentally subnormal character funny rather than pointlessly tasteless or annoying, and I've not seen such skill evidenced within a Warriors game yet. Somebody, somewhere, clearly thinks it's hilarious, but I am certainly not one of them.
I agree especially since his character is not funny although he is supposed be. These type of characters usually depend on another for their jokes, basically he needs someone to make him seem funny like some of the cast from Family Guy.

NOt sure if this has been brought up and it probably has, but the english website now has screens translated into english for all but those assoicated with Quan, Lu Bu, and Lian Shi.

About Ning, would rather have the brown hair but if the rest of him goes to pre 6 roots, I'll ignore that detail.

I think that's a big part of it. A character like Xu Chu's in DW usually serves as a bumbling foil to a smarter, sharper character. However, since the DW characters only interact during cutscenes, and even then, very barely, he has nothing to "bounce" off, if you'll pardon the expression.

He's just a bumbling simpleton with absolutely no point to his existence. I will be pleasantly surprised if they give him a smart voice in DW7, but I'm prepared to hear that same old, "DERPY DERPY CAO CAO GIVE ME FOOD" voice make an unwelcome return.

Liking Papa Jian's slick-back hair-style. If he didn't look like he owned the place in DW6, he does now.

Idk why Koei had to make Xu Chu like this. In history he was a fierce guy who had a big appetite who made sense cuz he was big meaning tall in stature and muscular. Not a giant dumb teddy bear/kid/hippo or whatever.

I love how Sun Jian looks like a mix of his DW5 and DW6 costumes. I hope he gets an awesome sword.

Well let's look at it this way, they made sure to have a few odd balls in each kingdom if correct. Even Jin has a few oddballs hell they are the most unique kingdom yet contain odd characters well personalities. So I guess sinc we use to it oor should be by now atleast be thankfull they keep Zhang He and Xu Zhu the same instead of doing it for another character, that means future characters won't have to be odd balls. That's just how I look at it.

Lol....I knew I wasn't the only one who caught that...what are those things rice paddies? :lol:

Well, people tattoo themselves with art that is meaningful. Xu Zhu wears food. At least you know where his true allegiances lie....

Speaking of which I bet he's having white hair as well :whistle: Which I won't mind as well, his looks never have disappointed me so I doubt he'll be a let down. I'm just curious about weapons, his pre DW 6 weapon was beast but I doubt that'll make a comeback due to Cao Ren's awesome buckler disappearing :facepalm:

I'm saying this cause they tend to exclude the really unique weapons from pre DW 6. I still have hopes for Cao Pi's weapon, but he might get a rapier which won't be a huge let down for me.

I also think he looks awesome, best Sun Jian yet!

I feel so bad for Xu Zhu, the fat does not bother me as much as the way he is portrayed to be really stupid and probably does not even know why he is even on the Battlefield.

Poor guy.

Huang Gai's alright....he's always been kinda unpopular for me. I mean seriously a Chinese Mr. T running around?...smackin fools?...lol..he just looks like he's a couple cans short of six pack to me....

Don't even remember what weapon he had in DW5....prolly a bashing weapon...
