Xiang Yu

Xiang Yu (項羽) is a new character in Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce 2 and a hidden playable character. He is a prominent military leader and political figure from the late Qin Dynasty period of Chinese history and was the Hegemon-King of Western Chu. He is known for his long power struggle with Liu Bang, who was the founder of the Han Dynasty.

Role in Game
Xiang Yu is one of the many beings resurrected by Shi Huangdi and the unique boss of the Supremacy King chapter, the secondary story route in the game. On the behest of his dark leader, Xiang Yu wrecks havoc in Wei. At this rate, the hard fought harmony that was won in the first title will be jeopardized. Uniting their kingdoms for the same goal, Cao Cao forms an alliance with Sun Jian and invites Shu into Xu Chang for aid. Xiang Yu plans to confront the Three Kingdoms simultaneously.

Personality
Overwhelming with military power and wit, Xiang Yu wants to revive the state of Chu and someday topple Shi Huangdi. If he cannot obtain either of his goals, he is willing to take his own life. Placed under a spell that prevents him from completing his own desires, his spirit becomes Shi Huangdi's unwilling puppet.
