Who is the "Lubu" in Samurai Warriors?

[Rontemon]

Although I don't play this game, I am really interested to know which character is the Lubu of the Samurai Warriors. Meaning he is probably an unlockable OP as hell character just like Lubu in every other Dynasty Warriors.

Keiji looks like one to fit.
Hisahide has his infinite combo, charge attack>special skill>charge attack>.... no fire elemental though his moves revolves around explosives.
Both Keiji/Hisahide has special skills that aren't blockable.

But if you made weapons for increasing attack speed Yukimura is very strong. 1 unblockable special skill, 1 unblockable c4 chain. Built in fire in special skill/ wind in his c4.

keiji or tadakatsu

Keiji has the unqiue horse (the Red Hare of Samurai warriors) as well as the "Strength" of Lu Bu, But tadakatsu is more like the "Lu Bu" having his own theme and when fighting him he's always in Hypermode. as for most OP moveset it depends on how you play Really. i find Mitsuhide and Nobunaga have the most OP Movesets

Honda Tadakatsu, from SW1, I remember having to lose many times when vs him in SW2 PS2 at Mikatagahara.
And yes, Maeda Keiji also enemy that you want to avoid if you're still lvl 5-.
I'm surprised, both of them are very weak in 4-II compared to SW1 and 2, even in Hard difficulty.

In terms of how the game designers and games treat them Keiji in SW1 and SW1XL. Then they changed it to Tadakatsu after that. (he has his own theme)
I think they changed it to Tadakatsu because:
A: Historicly he supposedly was never defeated by another Samurai or suffered a serious wound in battle
B: You encounter him more often as an enemy than Keiji

Lu bu is Lu bu, there's only one.

It's Takakatsu Honda. In Warriors Orochi, him and Lubu were pitted against one another in the promotional and video material. They changed it later to Zhao Yu and Yukimura as the poster boys. But originally it was Lubu and Tadakatsu :P

Think of Keiji as a mix of Zhang Liao and Zuo Ci. A wandering badass.

Somehow in this episode they made Tadakatsu into a naggy father of 2. The old Tadakatsu only talks to Ina and Ieyasu and nobody else.

[bruticus0]

They seemed to have dumb downed everyone in this one. Everyone is right and no one is wrong or evil or selfish. They've really made it into a PG game.

Old Tadakatsu would lead by actions, not words. That clip after Mikatagahara SW2, encouraging Ieyasu was the most we had ever heard him before this :P

[CaoLex]

It's Tadakatsu, without doubts. Then there is "second eschelon", Kenji, Yukimura, Hanzo, Kotaro, Mitsuhide and Masamune who more like Zhang Liao, Xiahou Dun, Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai, Sun Ce, Zhang Fei and, strange enough, Zhuge Liang

...I fail to understand why nobody's mentioned Miyamoto Musashi yet. Sure, he never appears in the story, but he IS unlockable, and useable, and designed from the ground up to be ludicrously overpowered. (Deliberately so, according to the devs.) Arguably the most legendary samurai in japanese history, inventor and master of Niten'ichi ('Two Heavens as One') Two-Sword Fighting Style, and author of the Book of Five Rings, which is reckoned by some as the japanese equivalent of Sun Tzu's Art of War.

And, oh yeah, he can carve his way through mooks and officers alike without slowing down, looking awesome all the way. :P He is also, like Lu Bu, unalligned in the conflicts of the era - answering to noone but himself. And since the version that appears in the game is the young, wild version - before he gained the enlightenment of age - he's also got the ego to match. The letters on his back reads, if memory serves, 'Strongest In The World'.

Honda Tadakatsu. Similar weapon, being such an overpowered sob and unique theme.

Because he sucks as AI controlled enemy.

I must say, he is most powerful player-controled character in SW ever, more so with wind-element weapon, but he is not near so powerful then controlled by AI, making large pauses between attacks and he even don't have large stat boost in most encounters. And he is not iconic character for series, more like cameo, even if he have his story-line in SW2. In many ways he is like Sun Wukong or Mystycs, who in Lore above Lu Bu, but quit lame as enemy.

What an insult! comparing Musashi to that pathetic weakling. Lu Bu is Musashi's ♥♥♥♥♥. That's why we haven't mentioned it....

They nerfed Musashi, not just attack speed but range as well, very disappointed. Neither does he appear in the story either.
