I loved participating in your polls over the last few weeks. There were many tough matchups in the end, but these rankings are very solid. I'm pleasantly surprised my main Zhang Liao came very close to taking the number 1 spot. It's also fascinating that the more villainous or morally grey characters tended to be more popular over the virtuous or clearly heroic personalities. I guess western audiences gravitate towards flawed heroes; Liu Bei's abysmal ranking shows that.

ZL portrayed in game was very good

I think its interesting how the majority of the lowest ranked characters were newcomers from DW9 and 8. Since they had less games to make an impression with they tend to be a lot more forgetable or just didnt do anything in the story. Which is funny because I felt the same about 80% of the cast in DW3, 4, 5 until DW7 fleshed out a bunch of lesser popular characters like Xiaohou Yuan and Huang Gai that ended going from irrelevant to some of my favorite officers. The highest rated DW9 character was Xin Xianying and thats probably due to the top tier waifu factor. The top 30 also consist of most of the DW waifu characters.

Not to mention Zhou Cang had a pretty cool move set and was introduced in the All Stars which hardly anyone played only for it to be replaced with a clone weapon in Dynasty Warriors 9.

Yeah hopefully with Origins coming out & hopefully 10 will follow soon, they will develop those who need it

The hard part for me when it came to voting on the Reddit polls was trying to separate history from the games and voting accordingly. For me, every fictional character is an immediate "F" because there are many influential officers and ministers that actually did notable things or highly influenced the period who are ignored when it comes to the games. Men like Zang Ba, Zhang Ni, Liao Hua, Wang Ping, Cao Zhen, Cao Chun, Jiang Qin, He Qi, and Li Yan all could have been great additions over the slew of made-up or minor officers given far more weight than they historically had. On the flipside, I completely understand the game is 99% Romance of the Three Kingdoms with sprinkles of history, so I had to just suck it up and vote based on how the character is written and plays. I'd say, for the most part, I agree with a vast majority of what people ended up voting based on the most recent versions of the characters. My only dissents would be Li Dian, Yue Jin, and Jia Xu being so low, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong being so high, and Lu Bu being #1 (Zhang Liao is the best!). Thank you for attending my TED talk.

I’m not sure if you’ve played it yet but I do recommend starting with Samurai Warriors 2+XL to get the best possible sense of who is who. I think that game does a good job helping familiarize you with each character because it follows their individual stories. Plus it’s just a top tier Warriors game. But at least for me once they SW characters clicked, they really clicked. There are so many more nuances to characters in SW that help them stand out once you know them. Plus I think the smaller clan based nature of the setting allows each character a better chance to shine in their own right compared to kingdoms in DW where we now have 20+ characters for each kingdom, making some characters always shoved to a side or small role. Whereas if a clan has like 2 or 3 characters, every single battle with that clan will feature those few characters and give them more room to develop.

I don't know if you'll read this, but there are actually specific color schemes for the various clans/factions in Samurai Warriors. Oda: Black/Purple Tokugawa: Blue Toyotomi: Yellow Akechi: Purple/White Takeda/Sanada: Red Uesugi: White Hojo: Black/Red Mori: Orange Imagawa: Green Azai/Asakura: Cyan

Most slept on characters: Deng Ai, Wen Yang, Pang De, Lu Meng, Zuo Ci, Chen Gong

Apart from some newer ones who haven't had much time to develop themselves yet, we can comfortably say that the majority of Wei & Wu characters are very likeable❤those from Shu/Jin/Others faction, you either unquestionably love them or absolutely hate them😂

haha nice!

see both of my hero and heroine, Lu Xun and Wang Yi at the top 30 was good enough for me. Lu Xun was broken since DW 6 (in my opinion) bause of that jump and slash attack. great attack animation, great CC, effortless but very fun to play. Wang Yi and her flashy attack's also fun to play, great attack animation. Thanks for the video. maybe i should play and watch the cutscene again since i never play for the stories lol

I feel as if koei had spent the time to dive deeper into Han Dang, he'd easily be my favorite character due to the fact him being 1 of the ogs and living longer than Sun Jian, Huang Gai, and Cheng Pu. There could've been a truly emotional scene when Han Dang finds out about Cheng Pu's and Huang Gai's death so suddenly after so many Wu characters die within that time period.

oh 100% they could do so much more w him, but for now hes an annoying side character

Zuo ci is probably in my top 3 faves and I was lowkey surprised seeing the % of his F tier, the man is barely in the story for him to be hated as much 🤣

@@thewhocriticI think because it’s the “youngest” kingdom in the series, and many of its characters are newer, it’s not as popular. Which is a shame. Sima Yi was always my favorite, and when he got his own kingdom in the games, it was my instant favorite haha.

The formula was (s+(a*.5)+(b*.1)+(c*.01) - F)

Fire goddess deserves her ranking. Gan Ning dynasty warrior 4 moveset godtier. Cao Cao being at 10 im cool with that Sun Jian being higher im cool with that too. Zhang Liao better then LuBu in my opinion because he showed more character then Lubu when faced with execution.

im confused with the percentage rating. cao xiu is missing 12.7%. had to do the math his tier rating votes only came up to 87.3% am i missing something?

@@TheNightowlGaming I fully agree. I still have fun with her

I feel weird about Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo being so low. You're not meant to like them, they're supposed to be hated... So... Do people agree they're good villains? I wonder if maybe, some characters were hated, solely because they were added in DW9, a game people really did not like. Because, Dong Bai being so low feels weird, I was under the impression she was generally well received by everyone who did the DLC. My personal favourites are probably, - Hua Xiong - Cai Wenji - Lu Bu - Sun Jian - Zhang Liao And, ones I dislike the most would be, - Xiahou Ji (Just for the context, she herself IRL, and the character, did nothing wrong, just makes me uncomfortable that she's "here.") - Guanbabies+Bao Sanniang - Huang Zhong - Xu Shu - Zuo Ci - Zhu Ran
