The Dynasty/Samurai/Gundam/Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) Warriors thread

Is there atleast bosses?

Yeah been watching more and more vids…the combat has been nerfed. No guard gauge. Some moves have guard break property some don’t. Pretty much all running attacks break guard. Nanto chars have a much harder time juggling. You basically cant juggle worth a damn unless you put that specific opponent into shock. That said Souther as I predicted has Kyokosei Jojeiken has his Nanto activation making him a monster. Juda is sickingly good. He puts Souther to shame. Raoh and Ryuga are monstrous as well. Rin is an alternate mamiya so she is also beast mode.

This is all stuff I got from watching Admiral Vic play.

Check out his vids. http://www.youtube.com/user/admiralvic1

Toki is also now godlike as he should be. His new R1 special is sekkako pressure point. He shortens his own life (loses health) for a boost in all stats.

And several of his sigs got buffs in power and range.

That for me…is probably the one saving grace of this game.

Toki was godlike in KR1 though.

I hated Toki’s R1 though…I forgot why though.

Stared playing DW: Next…not as bad as I thought it was.
Spent most of the time getting owned by random online players than finishing the campaign.

I could do without the fucking motion sensing.

I dont think he was godlike. He was good but he didnt kill shit faster then alot of chars which is what the game is about. He has no insane infinites or loops. He didnt die because he could heal but at max potential and skill you didnt die no matter who you played anyways.

How is DW:N’s online? I wouldn’t know since I’m still on the fence what should I invest in, a 3DS/3DSXL where they already have a handful of great games already plus an R4 that already plays DS ROMs with the promise that apparently, they’ll find a way to play 3DS ROMs, or a Vita where there’s only like 2-3 games that interest me, Persona 4 Golden and DW:N being two of them.

Anyway as for KR2, I feel that dashing replacing jumping is what’s mainly responsible for all these major changes. :rofl:

Happy New Year (not quite lol) my fellow hack ā€˜n’ slash fans! I have a present for you all. :slight_smile:

One thing I love about Koei’s rendition of Fist Of The North Star is that they made the women, Mamiya especially waaay more attractive and shapely. That towel DLC for FOTNS2 and that pic posted above just shows Koei going all out this game.

Koei has no shame by making Mamiya’s special action move to crawl on her knees, with an ass shot on her the entire time.

Ichipoo where you get that pic from??

I think it was capped from murals that can be unlocked on Ken’s Rage 2…

Meanwhile…the lightning sword in DW7/XL is so fucking stupid.
If the combo counter wasn’t so random…I’d be raking hits in the hundreds.

The Lightning Sword is clearly the best DLC weapon, I just wished the they made ā€œNightmareā€ versions of all of them plus not make Title effects tied to a weapon type such as making health regen almost exclusive to Speed weapons, or worse, EX weapons, in order to make Nightmare runs just a bit less annoying.

Holy shit! Zhen Ji using her LV9 Lightning Flute plus the LV9 Wind War Fan where they both have Officer Assassin, Elemental Attack Up, and the flute has Double Element is so broken when you’re on a horse. Just spam C1 over and over again to juggle mobs of officers.

So uuhhhhh… Whos getting DW7 Empires?

Is that the download only one? Too lazy to research.

I am, and yes it’s download only for NA due to SCEA’s policy where games can only have a physical copy as long as they have an English dub, although there are some exceptions, while Japan and Europe get physical copies.

Seriously, what is the logic behind that?

Oh DW7 Empires isn’t dubbed? Had no idea. Not that i’m rethinking anything. Just news to me.
Can’t wait anyway!

I’ll still get Empires 7.
If anything…it’s because of Xiahou Beiber’s new weapon he stole from a Gundam scrap yard.

I’m going through DW7’s story mode via remix…and I feel that Wu’s story was the most boring. I don’t know if it had to do with how their story was written, but I find myself not interested in a lot of the Wu characters.
Now I’ve been reading that Wu’s campaign on DW8 will start when/after Sun Jian dies…which is a bummer for me because I liked going through his POV of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Assault on Hu Lao Gate. I hope that doesn’t mean Sun Jian is written off those particular battles.

I’ve been messing with Wang Yuanji’s moveset in Conquest mode…mainly jump-canceling alot of her attacks into Air Musou, then following up to her ground Musou.

Man…I’m not getting SHnK anymore. I just can’t do it. For some reason, which may be an obvious reason, I have zero hype for it now. But for the ones still interested in it, stay strong.

One Piece Musou looks fun as shit though. I’m eyeing it now only because I just started anime. On ep 17 out of…578. And you know goddamn well I’m about to hit up some cliff notes because, no fucking way. It isn’t even possible.

Anyway, wondering if I should get OPPW in like a week, or just wait for OPPW2? For those that have OPPW1, what are the pros and cons of it?

I might get a OP Musou game at some point later, game looks decent. What I’m really waiting for is a Sengoku Basara 4. Capcom should be bro tier and add in online for that, and finish the 8 additional characters move lists…and more characters.

Just finished all of XL’s DLC stages on Nightmare Mode (so annoying). Now I’m off to do a Nightmare Story Mode run with the Japanese voices for the first time.

Did you happen to get the nightmare weapon from Ma Dai’s stage in XL…I heard it’s a bitch 1/2.
