Dead or Alive 5

[swordsman09]

I have no clue what Ayane or either of Kasumi's are suppose to be.

Ayane is a fairy. I think Kasumi is a nurse and a princess?

[NeoStrayCat]

Well, one of Kasumi's outfits is reminiscent from DOA2-U, also, not only that, but the male characters also get their fair share of Halloween theme outfits (some even from DOA2-U/3) And also a modified version of the DOA3 Lorelei stage "Haunted Lorelei" will be added soon.

Dang I was hoping mila was the mummy

They haven't said anything about the arcade version's new character, have they? It's probably going to be Tengu.

[swordsman09]

I think it's gonna be Kage.

[Hecatom]

Say hello to Marirose/ Marie Rose / whatever

SolXBaiken complaining in 3,2,1...

[TekkamanArk]

What is there to complain about? My only complaint is not knowing enough about her fighting style.

[Hecatom]

Marirose is a hebrew name, my guess is krav maga, but seeing her i think that the name probably is Marie Rose so i guess acrobatic stuff a la Lily from tekken

[SolxBaiken]

SolXBaiken complaining in 3,2,1...

lol, you know me too well, but I already let out my rage on Eventhubs, although honestly....I just....don't care anymore...

[videoman]

What is there to complain about? My only complaint is not knowing enough about her fighting style.

Her Fighting style is called Systema according to her profile.

"She use Russian martial art("Systema") that will make her opponent lose strength, and cancel their opponent attack. She is the smallest character in DOA."

[Vulcan422]

Wow. Instead of Tengu, we get...a fucking elegant gothic lolita who is as generic and run-of-the-mill as they come. Because Japan will never get tired of putting little girls into fighting games and giving them ridiculous and obscure ballerina fighting styles.

Given that she is the smallest charaacter in DOA, she will probably be featherweight like Alpha.

[Solless]

Am I the only one slightly insulted by how much she looks like Rachel?

[Vulcan422]

No. She's literally Rachel Alucard + Lili.

[Hecatom]

GF translated as she could, she's not a fighting game player so some of the terms don't translate easily. Particularly datsuryoku (脱力) which is to cause exhaustion, but it didn't seem to clarify it was Mari Rose or her opponent that was exhausted.. we translated to 'weaken her opponents' but it could mean something else.

Mari Rose

Voice Actress: Mai Aizawa

Top right:

She Makes Use of Her Speed, the Smallest Fighter in the Series

She looks cute, but can actually use Systema, which is the Russian Army's fighting method. In addition to her fast strikes thanks to her small body, from systema she can weaken her opponents and make their attacks ineffective. In this harsh world of DOA with ninjas and famous fighters, she can still hold her own.

Right of picture on top right:

Mari Rosa can dazzle opponents with her fast attacks and with systema she can make her opponent's attacks ineffective.

Middle-right, loc-test information - dates and locations

Bottom right, the author's (Mammoth Marutani) opinion and rating:

Mari Rose, unlike the other DoA series girls, is good because she's petite. Coming from Virtua Fighter, I'm looking forward to seeing Akira and Jacky after a long hiatus.

Mari Rose's beauty 5/5

Mari Rose's cuteness 5/5

But will probably use Jacky 4/5

Bottom-middle, new stage pic - Lorelei

Themed from a western castle, and if you fight hard enough you can be knocked down to the lower level.

Am I the only one slightly insulted by how much she looks like Rachel?

Or like Mina Tepes, Misa Amane or a great army of other blonde gothic lolitas? LMAO

[M19Kamikaze]

No. She's literally Rachel Alucard + Lili.

And they are AWESOME.

Which is why I have little to no interest in this new character. How unfortunate... =/

[swordsman09]

Pretty much Rachel #2. Judging by this Systema fighting style, I think she's gonna be a counter character. DOA doesn't really have that yet, right?

[TAI-X]

Have to say I'm disappointed. Nothing against goth lolis, but this one is an incredibly boring and unoriginal design. I can also see her low height possibly causing problems, i.e. Yoda in SCIV. At least we get a new stage out of the deal.

I'm actually surprised it took this long for DOA to get a loli. I guess they'd have trouble including one in the Xtreme games, at least outside Japan.

This is wonderful news~!

I already adore the character !!

SHE IS SO FREAKING FUWA KAWAII-DES ~!!!

I'm going to hug her little eyes out of her head.

Too bad I can only usually counter noobs... looks like I'll only get to alternate her vs the computer.

Forgot to respond to this.

EVERY character in DOA is a counter character.

[Asuras]

Given that she is the smallest charaacter in DOA, she will probably be featherweight like Alpha.

Yes! One more character to pull off superlight combos on! Fine choice DOA.

[swordsman09]

EVERY character in DOA is a counter character.

lol true

I meant that her counters could be 10x better than everyones and can do more things like start combos or just be stronger. Every character does that too don't they...
