True story.

You more or less illustrated the problem right there. You want more people to show up offline yet you overt/covertly clown them for something instead of compelling them to show up.

^word!

That's a bit shortsighted. People still watch tournament streams and play the game. Imagine someone has a trademark outfit and is training hard to participate in a tournament in the future and now he sees that he'll be banned.

I don't mind seeing some skin on a stream, but I don't like to see people giving up playing the game and offline participation figures drop because they don't feel compfortable when entering a tournament.

Its kinda pathetic how people are talking this seriously.. I mean come on, they are digial girls in sexy outfits, and it just a game.
The focus should be about the gameplay not what the characters are wearing.

^ Exactly! If a costume is seriously distracting you from competing, then that's your own personal issue.

Also DOA has always been this way for many years.
And now people are getting issues with the sexy costumes? -_-

Even DOA1 on the PlayStation had bikinis and fetish costumes. This is nothing new!

I know right?
people are just wasting time, there are more import things to talk about.

Keep hanging yourself @Jyakotu.

Tch, this community has bigger issues to worry about. Costumes isn't one, but dictating what players can and can't use at a tournament isn't fair and you know it,
