The Sengoku Basara series Thread: NO POLEDANCING KASUGA FOR YOU!

Haha, that’s some shit. Kanbei is ponderously slow until he gets his 2nd super move, which only upgrades him to kinda fast, but hard to control.

just dash jump when you want to run. Same with Shimazu, dash jumping is alot faster than running. At least until you get Kanbei’s spin dash move, that is MUCH faster.

It is for Kanbe? I kinda just timed how long it takes to get from point A to B (no one to local co-op with), and it seemed about the same for Kanbe’s sprint/super jump.

Oichi is definitely faster just super jumping. Her normal sprint speed is below average, and jumping seems to make her about as fast as Masamune (average?).

well I’m not positive, but it helped with the other slow people so I assumed it carried over. I honestly didn’t find kanbei to feel THAT slow personally.

Iv always liked Samurai Warriors more, but the game looks nice.

Yeah, I played a bit of Kanbe & he didn’t seem too slow.

Oichi was painful though :lol:. On the plus side she can attack while running without stopping. Picking off straglers at an enemy camp was never so easy.

Yeah Oichi is ridiculously good. If you just equip 6 gold dragons on her, she is an unstoppable monster.

True. Gold Dragons work amazingly well on anyone with Dark element, since getting hit won’t totally screw them over.

I gotta find a reliable setup into her 3rd R2 (the one that ends with laser blasts). Fucking awesome watching enemy bosses getting bounced around. But in general I like her just because so many of her attacks remind me of Jedah’s supers :stuck_out_tongue:

Haven’t unlocked her reforged weapon, but I hope it’s red. Lesser attack level be damned.

haha I actually didn’t think of that but you’re right. I was just thinking of how Oichi doesn’t need to ever be near enemies to ANNIHILATE them

The best setup for the 3rd super is to do the neutral Triangle attack, hold it, and start up the super while standing in it. Totally safe, and your combo is preserved!

Hm, interesting. Usually I try to use the triangle attack to toss them into her 2nd & 3rd R2s, but with the 3rd they sometimes air-recover midway through the move. Will try doing it close-up then.

Who else besides Kotaro and Ieyasu can enter the faster run instantly?

If you mean that, everyone can run instantly by double-tapping any direction to start their dash.

What Cryoh said, additionally, with Yukimura’s 3rd R2 activated, he always runs at full speed.

Yeah I know about Yukimura’s Fire Up. I use it often. I didn’t really mess with many characters so I thought it was only Ieyasu and Kotaro.

yeah dashing is universal and dashcanceling is ALMOST universal.

lol, While Kanbe is slow you should just defeat the generals as quickly as possible then take the bridges. I managed to finish the Sorin stage with him without beating Muneshige.
Remember that you can roll cancel his square attacks.

I don’t really have a strategy for any character.
I just spam their best move over and over.

:frowning:

That’s what I pretty much did with Yukimura…Firestorm RAPES.

Kanbei is pretty good once you gain his R1, and R2 SPD.
Can get alot of hit counts with that combination…and his SPD does ALOT of damage.
Finished his story by SPDing BOTH Ieyasu and Mitsunari…that shit was nice.
