Red Bull promote and aquired endless teams and events in the sport realm: it's no surprise for me that they are doing something similar for a gaming event in Japan where such e-sports could be seen much more importantly than in the West.

So did they replace Kasumi with Marie Rose for the new DoA mascot [at least for Japan] at this point because of this Red Bull costume? Not to mention the other exclusive promotional costumes she already got which just further fuels how much they are pushing her as a special snowflake.

Its mostly funny because the whole reason japan loves her is because she's NOT unique or special.

God I fucking hate her and honoka out of sheer principle.


Anyways at least she's not really marketed in the west.

But then, neither is any other character. Or the game.

It's obvious they replace Kasumi with Marie Rose lol

This is asian cover of LR. You can expect Marie Rose will kick Kasumi out of boxart in DOA6.

The crazy point here is, that Kasumi is a "historical" character in the DoA series and we still don't know anything about Marie Rose yet.
(and some others of course)

Just for those who didn't see it yet - the DoA Festival Trailer:

!!

This is still really getting annoying and offputting to me. Expressing your concerns has always been one thing but again like Werewolf, put aside the ridiculous grudges against the characters as you are not doing yourself any favors.

As for the marketing in the West, I'm not so certain they gave up as it's more or less focusing on the tourney aspect. They possibly believe they got what they have so why bother with more than show off how serious we are to be taken as a community?

Look its nice that you like them but I don't. Maybe their doa6 characterizationwill change that, but as of now my opinion will stay the same.


For DOA I mean...they don't even advertise, really. Even their merchandise is just the characters who were in ninja gaiden.

And that's just fine but keep that to yourself. There's plenty of characters that are popular that I cannot stand at all but I don't go around and continuously talk about it and complain and make their fans get riled up in the process.

And I know DOA doesn't really advertise but again, I can kinda see why they don't. They may be a well-known 3D fighter but 3D fighters in general is still pretty damn unknown to most non-FGC fans and unfortunately, you will still have the "cool kids" influence them and tell them that this is somehow worse than every other fighter because fanservice. So I can see why they are focused in these tourneys so we can prove those morons wrong first.

Pfffft. You don't know that for sure. lol

Don't make me go into the Honoka impressions topic...dual table flipper.
