SolxBaiken Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Oh god... f2p really is infecting my console gaming ; -; This is equal parts intriguing and terrible. Also I would say Momiji is "original" in any way, shape, or form (another shameless plug of the Ninja Gaiden series, just a hodgepodge of Kasumi and Hayabusa). Due to the orientation of the screen and the fact that they're specifically lifted from the 5th installment, I could see the center slot belonging to a Virtua Fighter character, though having another DoA character new or old is still just as likely (Tengu, Raidou, ...Genra? ...Shiden?). Surprisingly the DoA roster (not including Alpha because it's a blob) has a 50-50 gender representation ratio; if we do include Alpha and count it as female and they choose to keep the divide then there are 2 likely and 1 unlikely suspect. If the final count goes to the women then this would mean a new character would have to be made as there are no omitted returning female characters. If there were going to be a new, NEW character, I feel they would've just been up front about it, no point in hyping up an unknown. However if we grasp at straws we could see either Kokoro's mother, Kasumi and Hayate's resurrected mother, or Helena's resurrected mother. Or ya know... Rio, because Lisa started out in those awful volleyball games (but is Teccoei so sad as to plug itself that hard?). Actually there's one last possibility... SWINDLER! An affectionate name I gave the "Omega" Kasumi clone infamous in DoA2, having a Kasumi clone isn't out of the question as you play story mode as one for the majority of Kasumi's screen time and it is shown that there are indeed superior clones to Alpha running around [which itself is a poor subject that shouldn't have technically even existed in 5, at least not "-152"]. Going into further unlikely territory for "returning" characters there is also an (older) Gen Fu's granddaughter and a resurrected love of Leon [NPCs have a high mortality rate...] Oh...I guess there's always Niki...
Kyosuke Kagami Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 No, gimme mah Aoi in that slot IMO none of the DOA bosses is worth it
TekkamanArk Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 None of the remaining VF females would be bad, but i'd prefer a new character. I really would hate for them to bring back Clonesumi because i'm hoping for either someone completely brand new, or a VF female (I do think Aoi would be the best fit). Also, Momiji looks like her own character to me. In Ninja Gaiden series, she learned how to fight from Ryu, so it's understandable that she's using a somewhat similar style, but she doesn't feel like a clone.
SolxBaiken Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 You don't watch enough Kasumi and Hayabusa if you truly feel like she's her own character, she's basically a Tekken-esque clone. She'll probably have a unique move here or there and different frame data on shared ones, but I just think they wasted the slot on a publicity stunt rather than making a truly unique character (which is esspecially bad when you consider that EVERYONE -thus far- is a returning character, and VF characters hardly count as "new" as all they do is facelift em from their game). In short; Momiji should've stayed in Ninja Gaiden, where she has her unique naginata .v.
TekkamanArk Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 So, Ein is considered different from Hitomi, and Leon different than Bayman, but Momiji (who doesn't borrow moves at all) isn't? Were you joking or something? Momiji is as much a new character as Rig and Mila in the previous version.
Vulcan422 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 There are 2 secret slots, one of which would belong to Leon. The other would belong to an as-of-yet-unnamed female fighter. Well, my dreams of seeing playable Tengu again just went flying out the window. At least there's a chance it'll probably be Aoi.
Kyosuke Kagami Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 JAM, please say one of your magical words so mah Aoi gets featured in DOA5 And about Momiji, I don't care about her, so lol. I thought Hayate was already a Hayabusa + Kasumi hybrid, though.
Devdan Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 No, Hayate is the Shinobi of the wind. He is a free spirit.
Kyosuke Kagami Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Uh... I meant movelist wise. At least he felt like a weird mix between Kasumi and Hayabusa in DOA3 (dunno about 4, fuck that game )
Xechs Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 New trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgMQQZCD5fs
SolxBaiken Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Keep Ninja Gaiden out of Dead or Alive D: But at least Rachel looks like an interesting character gameplay wise.
Kyosuke Kagami Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Rachel instead of mah Aoi... Well, I can live with that Mah bro Leon looks awesome
Asuras Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Keep Ninja Gaiden out of Dead or Alive D: But at least Rachel looks like an interesting character gameplay wise. Really? Really?! It's been in DoA since the beginning. =_= It also looks like Alpha is getting some new moves in her floating stance. Edited June 11, 2013 by Asuras
SolxBaiken Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I know Ryu Hayabusa is Ninja Gaiden, but ever since they rebooted the series with the original Xbox title, I haven't cared for the continued merger of the two franchises. Putting Momiji and Rachel in this game is just too much, especially since [for obvious reasons] they don't play anything like their actual Ninja Gaiden incarnations, it's shameless pandering and shoehorning and I wish it would stop. #opinions
Vulcan422 Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 BB Rachel is the only Rachel I give a shit about. And FUCK YEAH LEON!
Hecatom Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Yrf_vDpTG0I
Kyosuke Kagami Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 For a moment i confused Rachel with Sarah. She looks THAT generic
SolxBaiken Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 The fact that anyone ever thought Rachel was a good design is just lol. And I swear she always looks like she's running in NGB graphics lol. Also Momiji having a double jump is stupid :\ An action like that has no business in DoA, heck I hate wonky actions like that Tekken .v.
SolxBaiken Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 So in addition to the OST from 5+ coming to 5U [aka an actual OST] 5U will also have tracks from 2~4. Meaning anyone with half a brain will just use the 2 OST :3 Also 2v2 online tag confirmed; with you being able to pair up with people on different consoles across the internet [get ready for the thickest of lag]!
Kyosuke Kagami Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Screw Helena mah Lei... I am seriously considering this game now
