... It honestly should be immediately apparent why that shouldnt be the case, given how derivitive Li Shuwen's work actually was. Lu Bu was one of the martial artists of the age, to the point where his other abilities are outright glossed over.

As I said, Li Shuwen is given a hilarious amount of credit. At first it was kinda funny and given who the pcs in extra were, made sense. Now its starting to get annoying.
I don't recall much specifically praising Lu Bu's hand to hand prowess, though certainly the catch all phrase of excellence in martial arts was applied to him quite liberally. I'd gander to say that were we not using an old=better system of thought, Li Shuwen would have more feats of fists so to say.

Thats because Lu Bu's spear and archery and horseback skills are so highly praised that people forget there is more to him then that. A competent military commander is in fact hard to find in the three kingdoms when the likes of Sima Yi, Pang Tong and Zhou Yu are your benchmarks for excellence.

But then, this is the guy whose earned the label chronic backstabber when pretty much everyone he stabbed in the back at least threw something at him first, so... Yeah. Not like history really likes him.

Yeah it just seems like Lu Bu is very lacking in any unarmed combat display. He's a god among men in terms of armed fighting and other facets of warfare, but he hasn't shown a displayed excellence in fist fighting that Li Shuwen. At the same time, it also feels odd to just assume he'd be outright better on basis of being older and possibly having skill in unarmed fighting.
 
Thats the thing, though. Saying he mastered kung fu verses the hubdreds of guys more worthy of the title is rediculous.

Which, ya know, means King Fu is apparently one of the most terrifying forces on the planet, if Li Shuwen is our benchmark of mastery. Reminder he's actually famous for his rediculous skills with a spear. He's not a legend amongst legends with his fists, just quite good.
And Mozart, Helena, et. al. weren't magi.
In Nasuland, Shuwen was a master of all kinds of martial arts. Simple enough.

older is, in fact, better.
No. It's a dumb generalization and you're dumb for parroting it.

Fairs fair, God Hand has a fist form. Clearly Nasu acknowledges he has some level of actual unarmed proficiency. Given the practices of the time, and that Lu Bu is essentially acknowledged as a combat prodigy, itd actually be very odd if he couldnt fight hand to hand.

That said, im more curious on what level of skill someone like Yuenu would be given, given she's credited with pretty much reinventing Kung Fu at the time.
 
I don't think I properly appreciated how fucking huge Darius is before now. Judging by the in-game sprite, he's taller than Herc.
Darius does have around 3' on Herc, going by their profiles.

Normally I'd agree, but Li Shuwen is so absurdly fucking overwanked its really no longer even remotely amusing.
Hardly, he still was almost dead after fighting Beowulf and as stated before that's only because of compatibility that Li won. A+++ Martial Arts makes sense for a grandmaster given that the skill itself says that 'A' is when you're actually considered to have 'learned it'. Other grandmasters will likely have it around that level too and fuckers like the Eight Immortals probably have it even higher. The skill itself doesn't mean much other than 'is gud at kung-fu'.

Meh, historical Lu Bu's military record wasn't that great. He was a good archer as well as a good enough fighter to beat Guo Si in one of the few commander-vs-commander duels mentioned in the histories, but there's a reason that no one cares about Guo Si. Otherwise, his military record was dominated by losses against better commanders such as Cao Cao and Sun Jian as well as a number of initially successful betrayals that eventually turned to ash.

Oh, and he was good at dodging Dong Zhuo's thrown polearms, but while young Dong Zhuo was supposed to have been a pretty formidable character, old, fat Dong Zhuo was, well, old, fat Dong Zhuo.

Thing is if we go merely by history then aside from being bloody as sin, the three kingdoms isnt really that noteworthy. Certainly not to the extent of credit Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang have already been given in fate, and especially since one of these people has no place anywhere near a battlefield.

... In that way, I suppose Li is better off on the basis of actually accomplishing something that lasted.
 
You don't need to be on a battlefield to be a hero. In a way, Zhuge qualifies more than Lu Bu. Dude pulled fun shit.

The sheer number of people fleeing from the fighting in the traditional Chinese heartland is what cemented Chinese control of the south. Furthermore, the Collapse of the Han brought an end to a unified China for centuries, with the short exception of a single decade under the Jin dynasty, which managed to gut itself in a single generation because Sima Yan had the emotional intelligence of a turnip while the Sima clan as a whole overreacted to Cao Wei policies regarding the empowerment of princes.

So, sure, the folklore is flashier than the historical reality, which is why it will always dominate any media involving the period, but I think it's an exaggeration to say that it wasn't particularly noteworthy.

As for Zhuge Liang, well, he wasn't the literal wizard of the folklore, but once again, I think it's an exaggeration to say that he had no place on the battlefield. His southern campaign was successful, while his northern campaigns managed to keep Wei on the defensive throughout his lifetime without sacrificing irreplaceable resources, which is pretty impressive considering that Wei had more land and more manpower than Wu and Shu put together. Never mind how he managed to keep the Shu government, haphazard as it was, focused on a shared goal when neither Wei nor Wu nor his own successors managed to do the same.
 
Fairs fair, God Hand has a fist form. Clearly Nasu acknowledges he has some level of actual unarmed proficiency. Given the practices of the time, and that Lu Bu is essentially acknowledged as a combat prodigy, itd actually be very odd if he couldnt fight hand to hand.

That said, im more curious on what level of skill someone like Yuenu would be given, given she's credited with pretty much reinventing Kung Fu at the time.

Nasu: I like Li Shuwen more so he's better than her at kung fu and Yuenu's Order is her gushing at how Old shuwen is cool and how she is a noob compared to him and how China would be a Super Power surpassing everything it ever will be if Li was born in any Warring Era

There resumed for you

Wow, the girls are a lot shorter than I thought they were. Also, the weight in lbs look really off.
 
Because they are for some reason, profiles use metric system and for some reason none of the lbs in that chart were taken from converting kg to lbs. Otherwise you'd get more accurate weights to them.


4'11" is kid sized. That's ultra tiny, especially for European height.

Right I forgot the Saber Template are a Bunch of Midgets for some reason because Nero is the near the same size and weight

Heck Roman boobs is 3 KG lighter than Jack

Huh? Isn't Jack supposed to be a kid?
She's a mass of undead babies, so no.

That said, do a little experiment. Cover her head and tell me if the body looks like that of a kid. Particularly from the waist down.

There's some serious Bayonetta going on there.

Because they are for some reason, profiles use metric system and for some reason none of the lbs in that chart were taken from converting kg to lbs. Otherwise you'd get more accurate weights to them.
Weird, I could swear I did it right. Divide weight in kg by 2.20462, which goog- ohhh, I got it the wrong way. I should've been multiplying.
See, this is why you guys should get on with the program and use SI units already.

One sec, fixing.

Oh in attitude she's 100% kid, that's never been in doubt. (Her voice is v cute btw)

But visual design is much more confused and it's prolly on purpose. Since the very beginning I've remarked that it looked like they stuck a kid's upper body in an adult's lower body. And later on I've realized that really it's the head that does it, I've seen fanart where the only change is some subtle shift in proportions, particularly head/body ratio and she instantly jumps like 3-5 years in apparent age.
