Former Shogunate Vs Red Lotus Clan

[[ptx]]

words

As a neutral EU player, i'd disagree. Shogunate were pretty meh at around the time they were first created and thus during most of the first strat iteration. Man, they failed miserably in battles, i have fought both for and against them.
But by the end of the first strat iteration, when there were all these tournaments and such going on... they REALLY picked up the slack. I remember fighting against them both on battle and in a few clan wars we had (i was a member of Mercs back then), they were good individually, but their teamwork skill was pretty amazing. IMHO, at least relative to other clans at the time, Shogunate was pretty much at its strongest before it reformed.

Cheers, as someone who's fought for and against the Shogunate, it's interesting to hear your thoughts

[Canary]

Wellsir, I daresay this fight would have to take place somewhere. I can't attest to the Red Lotus and their skill at playing with EU ping, but I have played with several Shogunate members when they came over to the NA servers, both before and after they changed to Byzantium, and I'll just say this: They could consistently place on the scoreboard despite the ping disadvantage.

Ninja Clan <<<<<

excuse me sir

who is red lotus clan?

Small NA it was fill with acouple of good players (Mori, Zylorage, etc) through broke abit since their last leader left the clan

ahhh wow funny to just breeze through and find this thread warms my heart im old school NA samurai, mori too... most of the people in RL clan are... We formed when Kimiko was actually doing hella good and w style as weaboo... fightin most of the vets. So he along with mori formed RL and reached hands to all and only skilled NA samurais... muki, zylorage, mori, kimiko, me, vaynes, trex, etccc just to name some main starters.... out of all good samurai fighters in NA... only probably 2 declined our invitation. And yes Dexx is actually totally right  when he made those observations.  I use to be in shogunate.... it was my very first clan when they just formed also. They have numbers yes... lots of that. thats what NA lacks actually. NA dont have DEDICATED samurais... some will just try.. and leave.. or be in the clan only momentarily and then become a knight or something.... Only good samurais, tend to only stay that way lol. We fought based on solo skills.... basically dex was right, best samurais in all clans... formed under 1 banner... We were originally Invite only skill based. But yes once again..... the same poison kills NA samurai clans... Lack of weaboos. Im still on and on since years, but u can literally count all the samurais NA have with your hands.... good ones anyway. And  yes.. i believe 1on1... RL will victor, only your best will stand the chance. but army to army of course wed lose.... dont get me wrong... were all about the mob fighting and thats our main love... but IF yall know how 2 mob right.... then we cant take all of yall at once... duel till the end of numbers- would be RL. Sadly... we cant ever test this... for a Epic battle... both of us have to be at our best.... ping wise. I would love to be in a clan with high numbers so that it would be so epic killing knights on servers.... But i also love being in a clan thats Skilled only so you wont be confused about us.... RL is dwindling but i figured... We all started as random samurais... and to that we return... But it wont be hard to find which of the samurais u fight on NA... are the ones with skills... From first attack and block... youll know ur not fighting your average joe

[Redarrows]

actually ujio lookin at your name its super familiar... You might of been the one even recruited ME back ages ago lol... if u remember we had couple conversations before i left. I remember i wanted to lead Shogunate NA... but it was givin to older player Oda. o welllll shoulda let me Would of grown in NA

[Korgoth]

I was actually in the Ninja when Shogunate was around. A lot of the Ninja used to spend a lot of time in the Shogunate channel in TS and play a lot with them. Ninja + Shogunate would of been awesome fighting together.

[Havoco]

Does namo count as a samurai since he uses a nodachi? Or do u need the full deal?

[okiN]

I don't. Weeaboo my old friends.

By the way, Shogunate squad:

1) Zotte (CraftyBadger) - the best longspear/pike user I've ever seen, always have been
2) Chase - imho the best player in cRPG (most complete player in cRPG)
3) Ujin - one of the best lancer cavs when he was Shogunate_Ujin, scary good with Nodachi
4) Gravoth - another epic spear/pikeman
5) Sonja - excellent spammer who can block very well, scary combo
6) Hanzo - one of the best archers in cRPG
7) Chapman - doesn't play anymore (or changed nick), probably the best Shogunate archer
8) Subotai - HA from hell
9) Jackie - one of the best or maybe the very best horse archer ever, exceptionally skilled player
10) Captain Georges - this man is scary with flamberge and plate

I doubt murrican samurais can touch this.

I generally agree with this. I don't know much about these Lotus fellas, but they don't seem to have much of a profile, whereas anyone who knows anything about EU knows that Shogs had some hard guys. Therefore I figure it stacks up pretty clearly in their favour.

And there you have it folks.

IMO in a dueling contest, Chase would murder every single one of the RL even if he fights in NA

[Turboflex]

RL is pretty small clan but Mori is one of top NA 2h swordsmen.

I think that tells us the quality of NA players.
