ONLY if there were willing to give us the proper, dark-skinned Vanessa from VF4. I dunno who that light-skinned chick from VF5 is supposed to be, but that ain't the Vanessa I love!

Yeah, that white-washing mess in VF5 was unacceptable.
Which reminds me, I hope Lisa actually looks like a black chick in this game. Ayane and Kasumi actually look Asian, so I'm hopeful!

...Was she supposed to be black?

I dunno, never looked into it that deeply, but she always came off to me as someone of Dominican descent.

Well, she was originally intended to be Zack's sister so it's fairly safe to assume so.

This is going to be the best game ever.

Edit: I can't wait to SPoD people in DOA5!!!!!

What? Where do you get stuff like this? Just because she's black, she's supposed to be related to the only other black person in the game?

Not really, but I guess most people look only at doa4, a game which I pretend never existed. If it were between 3.1 and VF? I dunno, I enjoy both equally and they both have their pros and cons. If it was between DoA4 and VF...well doa4 sucks.

This video shows promise though, and the wall bounce alone looking to be guaranteed follow ups again changes so much of how doa players will view the wall game again that it makes a huge difference on my outlook of how doa5 will turn out.

See, you're pretty much asking for VF gameplay because pretty much everything was ripped right off of VF and coloured differently. So essentially, you probably want a VF game with DOA characters.

Kasumi is revealed and no one else matters to me anymore....




....for now until Jan Lee and Lei Fang are revealed.

...Was she supposed to be black?

I never thought she was black.

Okaaay, now it makes sense.

Good job whoring out your characters, Sega. Maybe they'll have Sonic cross Pacman cross megaman and milk it out.

Uh, please don't go off an act as though I just made this up, and that assumption was clearly never made on my part so I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't insinuate such ignorant nonsense.
As for where I got it from, I believe it was revealed about her when DOAX first came out; from what I remember it was something along the lines that her original conception was to be Zack's sister but that was later changed as she was developed more.

Having basic reading skills should be able to make the point clear that I never personally thought or claimed they were siblings, I'm just reiterating that in early stages of her character's creation she was intended to be his sister, but that was obviously scrapped by the time she was finalized.

I'm going to preface this by saying that I, myself, am African American. . .

Are you insinuating that Zack is some kind of nasty black man or something?

Again, its ok for me to say things like that because I am a nasty black man myself.

 

[grap3fruitman]

What the hell? Where did you get that from? I find the thought that just because both characters are black must mean they're related is absurd.

Next thing you'll probably hear is Lisa and, Zack are from the same orphanage..

No different from when people thought Eliot was Helena's brother because he had blonde hair...

Hey, man, gotta test your knowledge of Anime Architypes. I go to AA tourney every month in my local anime scene.

今回公開のDEAD OR ALIVE 5の映像はいかがでしたか。映像を初めて見たときの驚きを大事にしたかったので、誰が出るのか伏せたまま公開してみました。

I'm struggling to figure this one out.

 

[Matt Ponton]

I'm struggling to figure this one out.

Basically asking what everyone thought of the DOA5 news today.

 

[UncleKitchener]

Horrible news. I am shocked and appalled. I am withdrawing my pre-order right now.

 

[ScattereDreams]

Horrible news. I am shocked and appalled. I am withdrawing my pre-order right now.

Why are your panties is such a tight bunch? Things seem smooth and, fine. No over powered 3pt holds, guaranteed wall damage using partial VF juggle engine and, AKIRA + KOKORO!!!!! (Sorry...)

 

[Raansu]

Horrible news. I am shocked and appalled. I am withdrawing my pre-order right now.

You will never be happy.

Cannot tell if your trolling or being serious . . .

Anywayz got the news on Facebook earlier , didn't know Akira was in till I heard his voice and insert coin prompt.

While watching I was like is this real? It is . . .?! Why Akira?! Then as the video kept playing it made more and more sense.

He's one of, if not the most difficult character to master in VF so he locks hardcore players (even though I expect him to be easier to learn in DOA5).

He's not some novelty like so many recent guest characters, but someone with standing as far as fighters go.

Also, the fact that Team Ninja has kept him a secret for so long unlike some "other" companies is quite commendable.

we've talked about DOA and VF crossing over for a while, I never thought it would really happen. I wonder if anybody from DOA is gonna be in VF5?

The trailer left me with that impression.

*edit*

And Ayane looked SWEEET! Got her Back Turn transition from DOAD, a new counter, and other goodies I'm forgetting!

Loving my little H.N.I.C.
