You thought I forgot the weapon less legend. Even with the board being more active the breakdowns still continue and this is one of my fav characters Daidouji. Has she changed much from the first game or is she still the legend.
Daidouji is one of the few returning characters that is unaffected by the system change to the burst system and can play the same way just slightly altered.
Yin mode/ turnover transformed
Daidouji is with out a non transformed form or style so she has all her move right there for you. 2 things you will notice about her is that her attack speed is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay slower then before and just about every string even air strings are usless at this point so there really no reason to be using her and be hitting buttons and not know what you are doing if you want to use her at all you have to use her the right way now. Yhe second thing you will notice is the huge jump in power. In the first game she was strong but in this game its just crazy how hard she hits and can build meter for ninpou but first let me go over her attacks.
Like I said all her strings now are slow and usless and leave you open in senran and Yang modes so the key to her game is her jumping X attack. everything is built off this attack because once it hits you can go off and what it looks like is jump X>A>X>X>A at any point in this you can swap in your ninpou or your Y attack thats all so good. The thing about this move is that dashes in this game have a window of invincability and when she is controlling her space like this she stays there and does not fall and she is the only one that can do this easy and consistant like in the original game. So you have an invincable shoulder charge with mix up options and while all her ground attacks suck her groound dash attack still can be used like a quick attack but with alot of power behind it. Most people said she is a Tank and that is very much true once you get her moving there is nothing anyone can do her limt break has the largest invincability window in the game and if it a group of enemies that is a full 4 bars of meter.
Daidouji's air ninpou shoots out a bunch of fists that are multi hitting The fact that you can just sit in the air in this ninpou and gain combo drop down limit break then go back in the air and do it again makes her way easier to use while still keeping her complex abilitys from the first game. It would seem her first and second ground ninpou's are also not as good as they use to be as they are now out classed by her new air art.
Senran mode / secret are unlock
Not much has changed her she gets alot of new ground moves that are usless because the hit stun in this form. luckly that does not affect her main focused game plan as thats all aboout abusing the many invincable frames she has this does not change in any form.
Yang mode / Bikini form
I would dare to say this form is trying to be like the original, Right from the start you will notice her attack speed for normal attacks is faster. its not how it was in the first game but its not that bad and can be used so you are givin another option oh but whats this she can't abuse the limit break here. Well you can still abuse the system and there are ways around it so that not all true but your game plan is altered sllightly. Also things die faster in this form and she can one hit just about every boss for a kill.
After everything is said and done this Daidouji is not as well balanced as the last but it does do a great job of giving you chacaracter with just the unstoppable feeling if anything and no matter how you play now you will feel like it as oppose to the first game were she was hard to use for a casual player.
