I like the game, but with the following improvements I believe
the game will offer more diverse and even greater pleasure to game:


1) Have more diverse combo's (longer combinations): eg.
a) have the samurai first hit opponent with sword, then with back of sword and
finally kick the oppent with feet
b) Have one trow opponent on the ground, and throw himself up onto him afterwards
c)...


2) Have swords, shields,.. break and allow character to pick up weapons in the game
either by diving towards them, put them in ground and pick up or have them as
pieces in the field.
a) have the samurai's kick the spear out of the opponents hands,
put his sword away, dive towards the spear,
get back up and stick this in the opponent.
b) have the Shugoki kick so hard on the warlord's shield so that it breaks and he
takes an axe from the wall
c)...


3) Have fights on ships, on horses,...
eg. such as racing games or the total war series, have a dynamic build up of the circuit,
have castles/surrounding being created dynamically


4) combine the story mode into the multiplayer,
cfr. total war series - feel like you are working towards conquering a land
