Favorite RO3K (DW) Character(s)?

[Norion]

Just wonderin' what some of y'alls favorite characters were.

I thought Zhang He and Wei Yan had the most interesting style (mainly because they had unique weapons).

Wei Yan and Zhou Tai are my favs.

[Yan Xiu]

If we're talking Dynasty Warriors...Ma Chao was a favourite for number 3 and 4.
When 5 came out and I tested out Cao Pi, I was like ZOMG.

[Zhou Yu]

I always tried to have one in each kingdom, though Dong Zhuo was a mainstay of mine before they turned him into a bloated, evil peeep.

Shu: Most of them honestly, no matter how disporportionatly they are favored by Koei, I do admire the concepts, though most times not always the presentation. If pressed for specifics: Guan Yu (I know he is over-done, but if nothing else, I admire what is ascribed to him), Huang Zhong, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei
Wei: Zhang Liao, Cao Ren, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cao Cao
Wu: Cheng Pu, Lu Kang, Xu Shang, Sun Jing (Even headed, though perhaps not always the right font of advice)

Props to Meng Huo for having crazy weapons and a fixation on binge eating.

Pang Tong in Dynasty Warriors 5.

Zhang Liao in Dynasty Warriors 4.

Zhou Yu in Dynasty Warriors 3.

Odd that my top characters in each game respectively come from each one of the three kingdoms. In the ones with versus mode (I think 3 and 4), I often played Meng Huo just to troll. I'd just repeat his regular triangle move where he charged around.

Dynasty Warriors 2 - Ma Chao
Dynasty Warriors 4 - Guan Yu

I always liked the stage where he has to kill everyone else ;D

2 (Demo lol) - Zhao Yun
3 - Zhao Yun
4 - Zhao Yun
5 - Zhao Yun
6 - Zhao Yun


Shu - Zhao Yun
Wei - Zhang Liao (3 & 4), Cao Pi (5 & 6)
Wu - Sun Ce (3,4 & 5), SSX (6)
Other - Lu Bu

[Wei Yan]

Favored DW?

3 - Dian Wei
4 - Xu Huang
5 - Wei Yan
6 - Lu Bu/Zhang Fei/Gan Ning

I gues to me it all comes down to three things. Attitude of the Character, Move Set, and Appearance.

And being a lover of the glaive, and the double glaive, Wei Yan and the new Lu Bu just made sense.

Anyone actually played that old DW 1?

No.

[Xu Zhu]

Ha!

Then you probably don't know it wasn't hack and slash but some sort of tekken.

[Wei Yan]

With like Three People For Each Kingdom. Yeah, it was like MOrtal Kombat. It wasn't terrible, but it was most definetly not fun.

Well that's just what I've seen of the game, but there can't be much else. Haha!

[Battle Mod]

I knew it was like that, and it looked like shit. I am glad I didn't play it. I don't really like Tekken either.

[Norion]

Dude, Gan Ning was pretty legit in DW6.

[Lu Su]

DW favs, huh?

To play as:
2: Zhao Yun/Ma Chao
3: Zhang He (He totally had the Vega thing going for him back then)
4: Uh.... I don't know, probably Zhuge Liang of Sima Yi.
5: Again, probably Zhuge or Sima. I liked the idea of killing people with a feather fan.

As far as character portrayal:
Zhang He (there always seems to be a gay guy in Wei in video games... why's that, I onder?)
Sun Ce (4&5 - dunno why, just liked the way hecame off)
Pang Tong (4&5 - a funny guy)


I have yet to play 6, so I couldn't tell you.
If we're talking the RoTK games:
I would have to say I like Xu Shu, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Zhou Cang the Mexican Yellow Turban (seriously, wtf with the sombrero?)

[Xu Zhu]

That's just a traditional Chinese hat...
