What do you know so far about "Way of the Samurai 4"

[mifune]

I can't wait. i heard some people might go on way of the samurai marathons. which i am tempted to do. i think my marathon will start with 4 and work my way back or go time period wise like sengoku, edo, meiji era. in anycase will we be able to do moves that other charatcers can do? like the golden armor chick who called down a volley of fire on the player when fighting in the tournament. will we be able to do things like that?

Yes if you played WOTS 3 you should remember books you found in the game in WOTS 3 they were for selling in WOTS 4 they changed them to hold fighting styles and if a main character drops one you can learn their style from the the book

This just keeps getting better and better!

anymore questions then? XD
oh and did i mention the making your own stance too?

[AkumaHanzaemon]

What do you mean by making your own stance?

Is it like making a whole new standing fighting pose and taking moves from one stance and mixing them with another stance (upper + side or ninja + lower)?

[kenshin]

thanks again Aoi. I too am curious about the making your own stance.

[mifune]

makeing my own stance awesome i am definably doing that. i know its going to include kyojiryos stabbing move that you can't defend against. its just awesome. doing to her would be satisfying. but i never could. oh well. can't wait.

Im sorry to dissappoint you all but what i mean by making your own stance I mean like when you make style when you make a custom sword in way of the samurai 3. However they allow you to do this if you find a white scroll and take it to your dojo this allows you to put whatever moves into a stance (as well as add more than one stance in this move set that can then be used on any sword.)So you CAN mix up stance and middle stance in the same fighting style however you have you change them to access the moves. keep in mind npcs can do this too. here is an example:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e9jR...feature=relmfu check around 4:29 and you will see the npc change his stance from side to one hand this pretty much how your be able to do it.

Well, that's pretty much like changing to a different sword in the middle of a fight, just like previous WotS games, but here's a question:

In WotS3, while making your sword, you had to choose the moves, but the moves that were only available to you were from other weapons in the game. Say, if you got and mastered half of the middle stance swords, those are the only moves that are going to be available in the created sword.

However, since all skills and movesets are bound to the player this time, how exactly can the movesets be used? Are you limited to choosing combo moves like in the previous game or do you have more freedom to separate them one by one to create your own combos?

I can't really tell you I have been looking a WOTS4 videos for about a couple of years and I haven't found one on making a custom sword. I willlooks around forumsand see if they can describe anything for you all
