@Miki Momo Yes they could’ve done Honoka better, her design isn’t original, her moveset isn’t original, and she’s only somewhat relevant because she’s tied to Ayane and Raidou. Honoka is mostly popular in the Japanese community and not in the western community. Whenever I play online I barely see a Honoka.
Hmm... I'd say that Honoka is representative of Team Ninja or Koei-Tecmo going "fuck good character design, just slap the biggest pair of tits on that Love Live bitch, oh and lets steal her name too! Instant $$$$!" Sadly, it worked...
Considering the stereotype like characters in doa, I’m flabbergasted. Yeah Honoka has movesets from character, so what? There’s plenty of echo fighters in doa. When Honoka came out I know there were plenty of people living for her. Online I see plenty of Honoka mains using her so I don’t what time you get online lol
@Onryoki it's about being a good sport I guess. If Miki Momo wants to be positive about their fave because everyone shits on them (something I do too, I hate Honk), then they should by all means, it sure beats not liking a character and the emotive emotional baggage (no matter how small) that comes with it. Raining on this parade is unnecessary imo especially when we can criticize Honk in places better suited for it.
I like her character as well. Haters always use excuses like "they only like her for her boobs" but that's not the case at all. There's potential story for her since there is some connection to Ayane and Raidou. Don't let others bring you down because of there own personal hatred towards a character.
