Hinoka, Camilla, and Takumi gameplay up:
~snip~
First of all, the intro and victory cutscenes are finally in English.
Hinoka looks like she is really unsafe during her moves. Maybe it was because GXplain only spammed the one combo where she stands for the most part completely still, makes a golden traingle on the ground and it explodes with pretty lights (wait a second...) Also 0/10 not enough Hinokacopter.
I expected Camilla to be slow and powerful. She's just powerful and isn't that slow. Also she got a superglue axe similar to Lissa's
Takumi... Linkle did it better ngl. He looks like he has more effective range tho.
I mostly wanted to see Leo but I guess I'll have to wait. :/
That golden triangle... Don't Zelda, young Link, and I think someone else have that in Hyrule Warriors? Aside from that, it reminds me of the Hojo clan crest which is a Triforce or rather, the Triforce is the Hojo clan crest. Anyway, kind of makes sense since Hoshido is a Japan of Fire Emblem. Also, yeah, needs more Hinokopter.
Aww, Camilla doesn't seem to use much magic in her attacks despite being a Malig Knight. Kind of wished she did since it would make her very distinct from other wyvern riders. *cough*Cherche*cough*
Takumi's like a younger Huang Zhong to me after I think Dynasty Warriors 7 where they settled on him using exclusively bows instead of only a dao despite being known for his archery skills and then a dao, but with bow attacks as combo enders. I think some other characters ended up being coming bow-only characters by DW7. Xiahou Yuan is probably one of them since I remember him being the club and bow guy to Huang Zhong's dao and bow old man in DW4 and 5. Aww, I just checked and apparently he switched back to using clubs/rods/giant iron stick things in the upcoming DW9. That's supposed to be Taishi Ci's shtick.
Anyway, I just watched an UNIEL introduction to Yuzuriha and yep, she's like Juri and Vergil combined. I think I would want to main her, but I'd fail horribly.
Her stance system kind of works like SFIV Juri's Fuhajin where if you hold down a button after inputting a special move, you can store it. Differences are that Juri stores a projectile while Yuzu enters a stance to ready her physical, but long-ranged attack and I think Juri retains full mobility -- as full as someone can remain dexterous while keeping one finger holding a button -- while Yuzu can still move, but much slower excepting for jumping where she jumps higher and faster; she can still dash and dodge if you input down/2 twice. Still way more mobility than Vergil's Judgement Cut in DMC games since he cannot move at all. Speaking of whom, she also has a command teleport that reminds me of Vergil's Dark Slayer style Tricks, but other characters have moves like that such as Ibuki. There's probably another character who works like this, but considering she uses a nodachi and has quick-draw slashes, she really reminds me of Vergil, but if he, in a fighting game, played like Juri -- sort of.
