b-but why 18? it's such a cursed number now.
18 isn't even that cursed... 16 was.
Nico looks fine. After playing Ninja Gaiden Razor's Edge and learning it and DOA share the same universe I don't think anything can be too out there for me.
The complaints probably stem from a person's perception of the series. I started with DOA5 so when DOA adds a character filling a specific character trait/stereotype like Honoka, Marie, and Nyo it is nothing new. Don't characters like Ayane, Kasumi, Kokoro, and Tina already do the same?
It reminds me of when people were complaining about Lucky Chloe and how she somehow didn't fit into Tekken. Like she was the one thing too outrageous for the series.
How did people react when the new characters in older DOA games were first announced? Wouldn't they, at the time, also get the same complaints people are making for Nico, Honoka, and Marie? All the DOA characters fit a specific character trope/trait and, at least for me in DOA5, looked really similar to each other with the most noticeable difference being the hair. I still remember thinking Kokoro and Leifang were the same character.
Honestly I hate that argument so much because all it really gets to me is that most fighting game fans love saying that argument... but don't realize how hard they contradict themselves with such nonsense.
Apparently Lucky Chloe is too much for Tekken... too much for a series that has you fighting:
TWO Kangaroo, one with his son/daughter with it as it fights.
A Raptor who kickboxes.
Multiple robots.
A Vampire.
3 people who can turn into devils and one of them became a wraith after she died according to the Tekken 7 Arcade
etc.
Ingrid is too much for the "realistic(PSH.... HAHAHAHAHA) Street Fighter series... again:
You have people tossing around Ki Blasts.
You have a man who is basically the freaking Devil(M.Bison) who is still alive even after his body is destroyed.
A man who might as well be God(Gill)
A woman who is said Devil's good side(Rose)
And so on and so forth.
And now it's the same thing for DOA despite it being just as otherworldly as any other fighting game. It's basically the dumbest comment you can make and to anyone with common sense, they would never use that argument as a basis for why they don't like a character.
The prblem was make the character model less sexy and make them less curvy and with smaller boobs, the worst cases are Ayane , Elena and Kasumi.
If the TN just made models like something between DOA 5 and VV but with more cooler and conservative design people would be less angry, and more interested in buy the dlc from the beginning.
It really awkward see how they try to give a claveage to Kasumi using her clasic costume when her boobs are not that big to cause that effect, same with Elena.
I feel like you ignored what people said to use this argument again. DOAX3 models are inherently different from DOA5's models for very good reason. DOA6 is primarily using the basis of the DOA5 models. Ayane and Kasumi have the same base models, Helena should have had the old model people was complaining about since that was the size that people rounded her to beforehand.
