DOA5LR Poll On Honoka

[Macca Beam]

Yes. It's not the end of the world considering the possibilities. From best to worst:
- original, stronger
- amalgam (<-- we are here)
- original, weaker
- random button
- Genra

I kinda like her, actually. I play most characters in the game, so having a character that is basically a mash-up of everyone is a neat concept to me. Although, I'm foreseeing some muscle memory issues if her command training video is anything to go by.

On another note, am I the only one that thinks all this "Salad" bullshit is not even remotely funny?

 

[PhoenixVFIRE]

I chose "Meh" because I'm still on the fence, but leaning towards liking her?

I don't like her because I really wanted a new original moveset, I was hoping for another Chinese martial art, but a part of me feels like any good ideas in terms of new fighting styles, mechanics, story, etc.... are gonna be set aside for DOA6. Also, we already have 2 Clones and Raidou, like ANOTHER moveset like this is just annoying to think about because we could've had something so much better.

However, I DO like her because despite all this, she actually looks interesting and fun in action because of the way she uses everyone's styles into her own Honoka-fu. Her costumes aren't all that bad either.

Her fighting style is kinda cool. Watching videos of her I keep saying things like "oh, thats Kokoro's move" or "hey that's Bass". It's almost like watching a greatest hits. But her as a character design/personality is kinda bland to me. Marie Rose blew me out the water, Phase 4 was lame, Nyotengu was pretty good. But Honoka doesn't jump out as me. Tho I do like all the cow outfits ^_^

I am sooooo done with airheaded, tryhard-moe, helium-voiced, Japanese schoolgirls. You don't even know. And her moveset is all of the meh. And her theme makes me want to punch my computer. I do not like it, Sam I Am.

Not quite as much of a hot mess as Lucky Chloe, though. I'll give her that. I also admit that if you haven't been exposed to this garbage the trope as much as I have, you likely wouldn't facedesk at Honoka's mere existence like I did.

One of the trials and tribulations of being located in Japan. ( if you are in fact, in Japan. )

 

[werewolfgold]

Yes, I am. There are going to be some major changes around here once I'm running things...

Spoiler

Don't worry. I'm too much of a lazy bum to try to run things.

 

[UpSideDownGRUNT]

I voted for Meh...(or in my case undecided/confused)

On one hand I really like her design and character (I'm a sucker for pink hair and thigh highs, and little bit of a fan of blazer uniforms too >.> ..and she's busty ) but on the other her move set is just a mish mash of the roster which I thought we had Raidou for that thus she basically became a female DOA1 Raidou/Dural type character.

I just really dislike the unoriginality and it shows to me that TN are kinda running out of ideas and this scares me for what characters we could get with DOA6 in the next year or so.

Then, I'm really having fun at discovering moves she has and discussing them in the Hono-Chan forums

 

[AsheMann21]

Yes.
Super generic [uggh] but what I like about her is her moveset. I dislike characters that change their moveset every round (Elysium, Killik SC5). I am, however, ok with amalgam characters like Dural and Raidou. They have this piece of everybody that gives me an "All for One, One for All" vibe.

Plus, I like mixups so her having the Bokuho, Carreira, duck and other nifty stances are a boon for me.

I like her but not worth being an avatar for me hoho

 

[Jaguar360]

Yes.
The pink hair, the skull motif, the gameplay, the boobs...just yes. Consider me a fan.

 

[Brute]

It would have looked like this:

I loves me some Salad

No

Meh

Oh, hm. If it were structured that way, I don't think I could have voted "Salad" in good conscience.

 

[AsheMann21]

Umm why is this thread not in the Honoka forums?

Oh, but it is!

 

[AsheMann21]

Oh, but it is!

I know! It's just like magic!

[Kasumi]

I voted yes but I'm between I don't know and "She is OK". Design is OK, she is cute but I'm on the face with the fighting style.

 

[Jyakotu]

I do like Honoka. Has the schoolgirl motif been done to death? Yes. Has the mimic fighter been done to death? Yes. HOWEVER, Honoka seems different from most mimic fighting game characters due to the fact that she actually incorporates each fighter's stances. Her fighting style allows for a variety of different mix up options and high damaging combos. I think more people will warm up to her once people get their hands on her (no pun intended) and see what she's really capable of.

 

[CFW]

every1 knows my answer

the <3 outweighs the h8 xoxoxo

 

[deiteu]

I too voted yes. I love her design and am a sucker for pink hair. Kind of wanted an original moveset, and am not a fan of mimic characters either but she reminds me of Necrid so it's good that her moves won't change every round, and that made it go to a yes as opposed to meh.

 

[David Gregg]

It would appear that she has gained a lot of attention (whether good or bad) from the general public. Her trailer already has over 74K views. MR's trailer had the most views out of all the new characters and even she is beating Salad by only 6K views.

 

[CFW]

Isn't it crazy that a lot of ppl like her? I think that's beautiful.
