I'm hoping the first wave of weapons handle
New sword--> Sun Quan
Twin Fans---> Xiao Qiao
New Spear--> Ma Chao
New Heavy Sword-> Guan Ping (thinking back to when he was the cover for 5XL)
New Twin weapon
New Magic weapon
Something "SPICY" O.o;
This is how i see it:
Twin Fans(Old)-> Xiaoqiao
Martial arts(new) -> Guan Suo :P (Nunchaku can be given to Yu Jin,Pang De can receive Mace..why not yu jin or maybe await until a new charas which is more better than Suo appears)
Zanbato(Old) -> Guan Ping
New Spear moveset/New weapon -> Ma Chao/???(Just like short pike)
Bladebow(old) -> ???(Ma Yunlu??)


Since it said to follow DW7, we might see 5 weapons before XL, and 6 weapons after XL.

Or if possible 6 weapon before DW8Xl...anything could happen..
Agree accept For Guan Sou with Martial arts?? Who will have nunchucks ??
And why no one want Twin Maces for diao chan

I do want the twin maces to return, but not for Diao Chan. She can keep the whip I think it suits her dance side more then two maces. Keep them for another add in the future IMO.

Ma Yunlu, Dong Bai, or Lu Lingqi are the one's I'd nominate for Twin Mace... I think the whip is here to stay for Diao Chan, and it fits her well. I think the nunchaku is a toss up, it's hard to place a finger on who would get those. I don't see them going to Yu Jin though. That's part of the problem which characters like Ma Chao or Sun Quan. No one should be handed someones sloppy 2nds IMO. Especially a NEW character. If Suo did get a new weapon, then the Nunchaku would do just fine as a CAW exclusive. Koei should never throw anything away, and rework/repurpose them for CAW's when in doubt.

Yeah I'd like to see the twin maces return as well, doesn't matter who gets them to me. I think they could really make them a good moveset. Thats one thing we dont't really have in this game is maces

Ma Yunlu should have Yueying's old bladed-bow. :sly:

They should add the giant hammer (Chimera's weapon in DW DS). If they ever want to have Xu Zhu with a new weapon and keep the club for generics only, I really think this one could be a great choice for him.

That's actually a great choice Wang Yue! I chose that awhile back, and then a few members started blurting out how the club is perfect? :blink: :blink: lol... IDK when that happened.. But yes, that could work for him. My choice between that and the wrecking ball.

Also, I'd like to see some of the DW Online exclusive weapons. They could make awesome moveset with these weapons (they're already quite nice in DWO IIRC), so it'd be nice to see some of them in DLC, or in the next game;

I would gave Horned blade to Yuan Shu. Just looks like something that will fit him (Snake Sword is too big for him, since it's two-handed weapon. I would give it to Cheng Pu). Punctures could go to Cheng Gong. Just because :P . Cymbals... Yu Jin. And Manifer - Gao Shun.

Yes!!! lol i posted these about 10 pages back and most seemed to like the idea of seeing some of these or all. I'd really like to see that attle shield make its way into the game...really looks awesome. Love the hammer too would be great to see it too.

After looking at the Cymbals... I wonder what would really fit Xu Zhu more (thinks back to the slapping EX he has and volleyball musou). Cymbals may just do the trick for the guy. and... to me this upgrade...

Makes me think this blade would fit Sun Quan more. Wouldn't mind it on Yuan Shu but it's all a matter of how he is portrayed I guess. Quan is becoming to be known for his wild shaped blades.

The horned blade is a good choice for Sun Quan, his swords have always been qild in design like you say. It would't surprise me if we saw this as a DLC weapon. Lol Xu Zhu would be pretty beast with the Cymbals, they would go good with his grapple and slap/palm attacks


OT: @BryllTheRed What are your 3 picks for the DW8XL famitsu poll? (nevermind just read the DW8Xl famitsu poll topic and saw what you posted lol)

Cheng Pu would look good with that Snake Sword.

OT:Its hard for me to pick as well... I still can't decide. I'm not going to vote for the obvious choices Cheng Pu or Yu Jin who will probably win ( I do want these two though).

it will be between Hu Fen, Du Yu, Yuan Shu, Zhu Ran, Xu Sheng, Liao Hao and Cao Hong... too hard for me to pick lol.

I agree about the snake sword and especially if it's 2 handed like someone mentioned above. I know he is supposed to have a serpent spear, but I wouldn't mind him getting his hands on that. At least there is some reference to serpents right?

OT.. I have my mind set on..
**Wu**
Zhu Ran--------------> Most wanted
Xu Sheng
Lu Kang
Zhuge Ke

**Jin**
Du Yu
Chen Tai-------------->Most Wanted
Hu Fen
Yang Hu

**Shu**
Wang Ping
Liao Hua---------------->Most Wanted
Zhou Cang
Deng Zhi

**Wei**
Cao Zhang----------->Most Wanted
Cao Hong
Wang Shuang
Cao Zhen

**Others**
Yuan Shu------------->Most wanted
Liu Biao
Chen Gong
He Jin

But Wu, Jin, and Others are the ones in need of adds the most. Shu just saw 4 adds (including Xu Shu), Wei just saw 5 (including Pang De, Guo Jia, Wang Yi). **The ones in parenthesis are included because this is their first official main title appearance or return in Pand De's case. If it was me... And I was the head of Koei looking at it from a glance?

Wu's Lu Kang and Zhuge Ke I'd save for a main game in Dw9... Same with Jin's Du Yu, Yang Hu, and Hu Fen(could be a 9XL add). Would say the same for Wei's Cao Zhang, Cao Zhen, and Cao Hong, or Shu's Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Deng Zhi. Throw Yuan Shu, Chen Gong, and He Jin in a main game as well. For me that leaves...

Zhu Ran
Xu Sheng
Chen Tai
Wang Ping
Wang Shuang
Liu Biao

But eliminate Wang Ping and Wang Shuang because Shu and Wei have already been shown love. As much as I want Chen Tai... Jin just got 3 adds... So boiling down to this?

Zhu Ran (benefits as Sun Quan's best friend and served with Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng)
Xu Sheng (for his cunning)
Liu Biao (He adds to Liu Bei a lil and would battle with the Sun's and Cao Cao)

After getting in all the major rulers for the "others" I think they should only add maybe 1 or 2 of their most loyal and/or Strongest/Wisest General/strategist. So for Liu Biao I see Huang Zu in his ranks at some point.

Lol I went waaaaay off topic and will stop there. Forgive me Mods. Will take it to that other thread from here. ;)

Back on topic though... Maybe those Punctures can go to Ma Yunlu... I know Wang Yu wants the bladed bow to go to her. Just thinking about if there ever was some sort of duel between her and Wang Yi.. That would be her counter to the trishulas.

If they used weapons from DW Online, its pretty easy for them if you think about it. They would just have to rework the movesets a little bit to fit the new engine and rework some of the skins, other then that they're set!

DW Online had many different and unusual weapons which is a great thing!

@BryllTheRed I see, but I do agree with what you said. Its always interesting to see where people stand with characters (sorry mods I'm done too)

Ma Yunlu or Lu Lingqi could go with the blade bow or punctures. I think both of these weapons fit them. Maybe something more beasty for lu lingqi (donno how fans few her). Cheng Pu fits the bill with that snake sword, it is close to his serpent spear (even though its a sword) and we know Koei doesn't always add weapons people are famous for

Well I try to look at it from a standpoint like... Who would fit where? It's not always about who's my favorite, because I want them done right. XL I look at like the "side show," so I would choose the guys that I feel like would make the best side show possible. Some of these adds people are voting for have absolutely too much story to tell for an XL game. At least in my opinion. Agreed, it is interesting to see where we all stand at times. Lol I noticed no one has screamed out Yan Liang and Wen Chou over there yet! I'm shocked???

Anyway.. I also agree about your choices there for characters and weapons. If Yu Jin makes it in.. And depending with where they go with Ma Chao... He may be my last chance for Twin Spears, but as you said... Koei doesn't always add the famed weapons, so maybe I'll get a chance with someone else.

I still think that giving new weapon toe new character is only make sense than having old character get old weapon. Last time they did that because it's the declone issue. Now, it's still the air for me since we don't know much about the dlc information... yet.

I'm surprised as well that they haven't said those two or mention Hua Xiong..lol which is fine with me. Sideshow characters who have a small story seems to be the ideal adds for Koei imo. 1. because they don't have to put them in as many battles. 2. Not much voice actting is required for characters who have little story and 3. Its saves them money with VA, time, and it appeals to fans beacuse their "NEW" characters.

If Yu Jin gets added I could see him with the twin spears, really it just depends on his design and his character for me. If Xun Yu gets in I'd like to see him get that staff you posted a few days ago with the hidden blades in them.

I want to see all the stages which are available during storymode, if there any drastic stages missing I hope they would be able to fill the gaps with the use of DLC. Maybe using the under used characters in these stages too, but I think its unlikely that storymode will be supported with DLC.

I think it would be easier for them to support commander mode, as it doesnt have to follow a certain route.

Yeah I agree commander mode would be easier to support with DLC...I see them saving any stages left out in story mode for XL

I think they use XL as their way of 'fixing' mistakes of the main game, such as giving the neglected characters more screen time or adding stages which were left out. I get that they have to think of more things to put in XL, but it shouldnt be created just to make the main game 'complete.'

So Id rather see them update DW8 with DLC stages then leave it all until 8XL, just makes more sense to finish a game in the now rather then leaving it until later. Like I stated earlier if will be easier to support commander mode rather than the story, so thats the way I see them going.

I agree with you though. I'd rather Xtreme Legends bring a new type of game mode instead of just picking up the extra pieces left out of the main game.

I would love to see them add battles to the game as DLC. Like for Example they could do one for Yuan Shao where they could add stages where Yuan Shao fought the yellow turbans and his battles with Gongsun Zan. I think we have talked about this before but instead of just others they could do it for everyone

Man that would be perfect if Xun Yu got them too. Lol he may even become one of my main Wei guys if he got those! :XD

He is another few hybrid choices between magic and melee...

Might and Magic


Another weapon I would like to see..
elbow blades

;)

EDIT.. I missed out while typing but agree with both of you guys.. Especially about the commander mode. It'll be easy to add events and new stages for that mode in particular because of the point mentioned... No particular guideline to follow here. Good Show.

That moveset is impressive, I was talking about this I few pages back where they use something like magical gauntlets with martial arts. I really like this moveset you came up with though, I could picture every attack in my head...love the vacuum idea too and how he conjures magic weapon. Koei should swoop this idea up lol

All the weapons are cool too, the elbow blades are unique would have never thought of those.
