I've been using Zhou Yu since DW 2 and he did play well till they started to change his moves around DW 4 and DW 5. Then they gave him the staff in 6. I still remember using Nu Wa (in DW 3) for the fact she's a combo machine just like Xiao Qiao. Though, has anyone tried the CAW with a Rapier? That weapon is no joke in DW 5.
For Samurai Warriors, Yukimura kicks enough ass, but there's still others like Magoichi and Ina for skilled range combat, Keji, Tadakatsu, Ginchiyo, Musashi and for melee, and from Dynasty and Samurai Warriors, i've been making a few created warriors that usually end up better than either of them somehow. I still like Samurai Warriors for the action and control of the battle (the bullet time using musou is a plus), but I also like Dynasty Warriors for the fact you have to kill like +1000 troops just to get somewhere (and they appear at a stupidly fast rate in DW5).
I still have Samurai Warriors 1 (with XL) and 2 (and the Empires Version for PS2 and 360). For Dynasty Warriors, its all PS2 from 2, 3 (with XL), 4 (with XL), 5 (with XL), and tried 6 but didn't like it as much since it felt somewhat lacking..... but I still wonder about Samurai Warriors 3 seeing how it plays....
