Sengoku Basara HD - Mitsuhide Akechi | Conquest Mode

Now we finally have our chance to see a new character that was only in the Japanese version of this game. Mitsuhide was cut from Devil Kings because the localization team most likely didn’t have enough time to implement the “Prime” mechanic on all characters, so the ones they couldn’t do it for, they just cut from the game entirely. Whiiiich is lame. But hey, we get to try him out now.

Mitsuhide has a fairly good S-string, decent in all aspects of strength, range, and speed. He can chain into his special attack which is a leg swipe and can combo perpetually with this. His second special has him stab an enemy and suck the life out of them. This is...impractical. I tried to hit officers with it a few times, particularly Yukimura in the first stage, but holy hell, they just will not get hit by it. The only real use you’ll have is running away and sucking the life out of an enemy, or an ally, to get a health refill. His third special I got has him throw needles or something twice, which stun the enemy and opens them up for further attacks.

Mitsuhide’s Basara is...kind of awful. Like for real. He starts by staring at the enemy and producing a shockwave, which makes peons fall prone, but officers don’t care about. Officers have plenty of time to avoid or block while this is going on, so it takes forever for Mitsuhide to actually get to his attack and begin his combo. Once it gets going, it’s decent, but that’s about all there is to.

Oh and he absolutely ejaculates every time he Basaras.

His ending cutscene is our first time seeing it. It has him watching Nobunaga go up in flames and essentially just revealing in his victory, saying it was a delicious feast or something along those lines.
