Special Hard Mode Request - Taishi Ci and Xing Cai

Dynasty Warriors 5 (no Xtreme Legends)
Hard Mode

I know I don't accept video requests, that are outside my channel purposes or realm of expertise, but I this is partially relevant because it deals with a Hard Mode Tier List document on Gamefaqs.

There's yet another thread on the Dynasty Warriors 5 Discussion Board on Gamefaqs, talking about the DW5 Tier List FAQ, and once again, it's efforts to either disagree with it, or questions to try to understand it. Simply put, the Tier List presented in that document has no possibility of being universally acceptable or agreeable because it used a wide variety of subjective methods for character analysis. There is claim in the document that it was done over a long period of time by a large number of participants, but these are irrelevant if the original methodology is flawed.

So now, upon request, I've accepted to take the time to make several short video clips to illustrate important points of disagreement to the accepted Hard Mode Tier List FAQ - particularly extreme (thus obvious) misplacements.

The characters shown in this video are Taishi Ci and Xing Cai.

The purpose of these two clips is much the same as Cao Ren's clip. Taishi Ci and Xing Cai are both placed along with Cao Ren in the 5th tier in the Tier List FAQ, and this is the second last tier.

It should be a fact that Taishi Ci is the fastest Officer Killer in Hard Mode, if we are considering strictly the Officer Killing frame of reference, because the true god tier characters are the one sided hitters on horse like Ma Chao, Zhou Tai, and Pang De. These guys are in god tier because they have extremely fast offenses with no dismount-remount lag in their stage progress. Anyhow, I messed up with Taishi Ci in this video, because the maximized method is JC, followed by a Musou, which means Heavy is the way to go. Anyhow....sticking with Medium doesn't change too much, and I was still allowed to show alternative offenses that are otherwise not so possible with a Heavy weapon. Do keep in mind that his Musou with a Heavy weapon would give him a very impressive completion time against enemy commanders, or hyper officers in Musou Rage.

Xing Cai......ahhhh the beauty in the non-flinching property. Once again, the Tier List FAQ nails this property as disadvantageous, when in fact, it is this property that allows Xing Cai to abuse the weapon weight system. Musou fill with C3, and kick ass with Musou. That's it. But I mean c'mon, it doesn't even matter if the FAQ nails her for attacks that can be avoided. It seriously doesn't matter. Bulldoze through everything even with pokes, and she will still fill Musou and kick ass.

lmfao at 0:56! he looks so annoyed there. hm taishi is definitly high tier, xingcai with heavy looks awesome, i like her description at the end haha

kool that u mentioned horse combat, machao's musou on horse is stronger than zhoutai and pangde's by default, and he has better reach therefore faster fill, zhoutai's horse normals r very easy to connect but that doesnt give him much of an advantage, especiall when it's in hard mode one short heavy musou KO

[gold3263301]

Indeed.
