Talk:Cao Cao

Interesting topic
"Who is stronger: Oda Nobunaga or Cao Cao?" That is the question asked to online Chinese users. Here's the original thread, but this article translated some responses to Japanese too. A lot of support for Cao Cao though the reasons his supporters give are a little interesting.

I wouldn't know who would be the better of the two since I believe both of them died well before their time. Had they lived another five or ten years, the world might've been a completely different place. Sake neko 06:19, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Approximate Face Composite

Although I usually don't care for it, this raised an eyebrow for me. "Cao Cao's face" is compiled from DNA of nine descendants and is being boasted as the "first glimpse of a hero!" or some other nonsense. Supposedly his "face" loosely matches written descriptions of his profile. Hard to say if it's believable, but it's an interesting concept and attempt if nothing else.

Reasoning for my old edit from ages ago
Back then, the reason why I brought up his 4th weapon translation was due to the fact I never knew about the Japanese names of the weapons. I was surprised upon learning them from Muni Shinobu's guide, and at that time that was the only source of the Asian port names I could find. Due to that, I didn't know the Asian port names for all the other weapon sets as well; only the ultimate and final weapons of the classic games. It was partially my bad for my very ages old edit of the "villainy and cruelty of heaven part", cause I didn't know the Asian names of Cao Cao's weapons until Koei Wiki actually added kanji onto there.

And yes, I actually edited the "villainy and cruelty of heaven part" AGES ago. Like I said, his association with heaven shouldn't only be brought up on his 4th weapon, but back then I had no idea about the other names of his weapons in the Asian ports due to Muni Shinobu's guides only being about the ultimate and final weapons. If that's the case, should the fourth weapon's lack of defensive stats and the heaven motif be in separate paragraphs? SneaselSawashiro (talk) 21:16, April 29, 2015 (UTC)
 * I think you have a slight misunderstanding in how paragraphs work. You should only be making a new paragraph if you're changing the topic/focus of your paragraph. This paragraph in question is dedicated to his fourth weapon and this particular weapon only. The defense note belongs in the same paragraph because it's still talking about the same weapon. Why would you separate it into a different paragraph? The only justification for a paragraph break would be to break up a long block of text for ease of reading.

 * Okay, I'm just really dumb then. Cause even if it's possible to mention his overall heaven motif, my wording choice is way too poor anyways. :P You would NOT want to talk with me irl if that's the case. It'll make it worse. SneaselSawashiro (talk) 22:08, April 29, 2015 (UTC)
