he wanted me to tell you that I killed him
Apr. 8th, 2008 01:15 amUgh, its pollen season. When I want to bring the garbage can in today, the driveway was so thick with pollen that I left visible footprints in it. Its insane, the driveway (and my car!) are always yellow-green this time of year. Where the frick is all this pollen coming from?!
( SW2:XL stuff )
Heh, I keep forgetting that Onimusha 2 has some of the same characters as Samurai Warriors since its based on the same time period. I mean, your helper characters are Oichi (though she has a different name in the game, Oyu), Kotaro (who's a kid instead of a weird pale red-haired undead looking thing), Magoichi, and Ekei Ankokuji. Heh, I've playing SW2 for so long and wondering why that name sounded so familiar whenever his character would show up on a board. But in SW, he's represented by one of the old man npc character builds, whereas in Onimusha, he's a large bald monk guy, so I didn't make the connection until I looked it up.
Anyways, saw on Koei Warriors that one of the new features in Warriors Orochi 2 are special team attacks you get access to if you pick certain people as your three person team. Some are obvious, like the Sun kids, or the three sword brothers (i.e., Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei), the Three Kingdom patriarchs (Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian), or Oda/Hideyoshi/Tokugawa (the succession of guys who managed to unify Japan). You also have the three ninjas (Kunioichi, Hanzo, and Kotaro), the three strategists (Sima Yi, Zhou Yu, and Zhuge Liang) the three archers (Ina, Huang Zhong, Xiahou Huan) or the gun/cannon guys (Masamune Date, Magoichi, and Ieyasu Tokugawa). Some I don't get though- there's a special attack from Dian Wei, Ranmaru, and Zhou Tai (ultra loyal bodyguard/retainers? Dian Wei for Cao Cao, Ranmaru for Oda, and Zhou Tai for Sun Quan?). And even more confusing, Lu Bu, Mitsuhide, and Wei Yan? Oh, mebbe its a traitor thing, Lu Bu betrayed his first two masters, including Dong Zhou, Mitsuhide turned on Oda, and Wei Yan on Liu Bei?
In any case, that is a cool new addition I wish they had in the first one. Because special team attacks are cool, it was my favorite part of the Suikoden series. My all time favorite special team attack in the series was "The pretty boy attack" done in the first game with Flik, Alan, and Grenseal, and the second with Flik, Camus, and Milkotov. But I digress, with that many characters (I think WO2 has 13 new characters so that's 92?) to choose from to put into a three man team, you should get something special from certain combinations.
