    Right there with you. Can't wait to see how this guy moves.

    DOA5 will not support DLC Characters

    Furthermore, I don't think it's been said if the TTT2 preorder bonus chars will be actual DLC, or just glorified unlock codes for content you can unlock normally in the game. Even if it is time release, it still wouldn't be that bad, compared to what else is out there...

    DOA5(JP only for now) collectors edition details.

    I wonder if Gamestop gets the CE exclusively, like they did with NG3. As much as I may want the artbook, I won't be giving Gamestop that much of my money to get it.

    IGN Pro League DOA5 Pro Gaming Tournament

    I was in and out watching the footage yesterday, but from what I did see? Rikuto's commentary definitely was appreciated. I do agree that it would be nice to see Dr.Dogg get up there too, but I guess I'll have to take what I can get.

    DOA5: The Show: Lei Fang vs. Zack trailer

    This is true, but there are a few extra caveats that are worth mentioning. Even the Smash Bros. competitive scene, in efforts to streamline the game for the sake of competitive play, still utilizes some stages that have "random" elements. Some examples: Yoshi's Story - A stage that has a...

    DOA5: The Show: Lei Fang vs. Zack trailer

    If there's a specific timing to those tigers, I won't mind so much. I get memories of those random dinosaurs though. :rolleyes: That said, looks fun. Zack looks lighter than before, for some reason!

    Do you want a tournament scene?

    The basic thing is, Sakurai was allowed to make the game as he wished, which was one of the stipulations for him coming back and making another Smash Bros. in the first place. He actually left towards the end of Melee's dev cycle, but once his old buddy, and fellow former HAL associate, Iwata...

    So, ah...

    Some people really, really made a big stink about Hitomi's appearance. It wasn't just coming from the West, either, as I remember glossing over more than a couple of interesting comments on 2ch, as well. I guess if Team Ninja wasn't already reworking her model for whatever reason, they...

    Will you buy all the dlc?

    Indeed. What I'm hoping is that Mike_Z's game will only do more to bring attention to what a number of doujin or otherwise "Anime" games have already been doing for years, even as the major players (Capcom, Namco, etc.) haven't been paying attention to such. There's definitely ways of playing...

    Will you buy all the dlc?

    But why "section off" characters at all? Obviously now-a-days, sectioning off content for unlocks is meant to appeal to the casual gamer who just wants the sensation of feeling like they're "accomplishing" something. That can be saved for other things that don't affect the main game and the...

    NowGamer - Toning Down The Sexy & Life After Itagaki - Interview

    On the other hand, I wonder if this is their answer to how VF5 and TTT2 had various costume parts that could have a variety of effects, from energy auras shining around your character, to how there are even "Item Moves" in TTT2. While I agree with the notion of not having a "Character Creator"...

    Christie vs Bayman video

    I'm thinking the latter. It's possible that for some of these builds, they just used a number of "stock" footage because things like proper vocal recordings usually aren't inserted until later in production.

    Christie and Bayman image

    Bayman definitely does look like RE5 Chris. Not a bad thing, but I always thought Bayman had a distinct enough look as it is. I'm hoping his (and well, everybody else's, for that matter) classic outfits will be unlockable.

    3-Point Hold v. 4-Point Hold

    3.1 actually had a few things that served as ways to get around the Rock-Paper-Scissors system. As Mr. Wah put it best:

    3-Point Hold v. 4-Point Hold

    I'm of the opinion that it doesn't really matter. As long as the concern of "Holds Out of Critical Stun" hasn't been addressed in some meaningful way, would it really matter if it's 2 point or 6 point, for that matter?

    Will you buy all the dlc?

    If nothing else, I hope that the recent fiasco revolving around SFxT, along with Harada's recent proclamation regarding DLC and TTT2 (where DLC will be reserved for "premium content" like costumes), will further deter Tecmo Koei and Hayashi from pressuring Shimbori and his crew to do anything...

    Team Ninja Twitter

    It's a good sign, but I'm still going to play the "wait and see" approach. TTT2 stand to have a LOT more data to trade back and forth, so it'll be a real test of the "SCV netcode" to see if it can truly be engineered to handle it all.

    Fingercramp’s Dead or Alive 5 Pre-Play

    If there's anything I think should be cited from the more recent MK(9) example? It's proof positive that you don't HAVE to be defined by, or otherwise "prove your worth" to the Capcom-centric fighting game community, in order to have a worthwhile competitive venue in your own right. You just...

    Fingercramp’s Dead or Alive 5 Pre-Play

    Indeed. Is there really any wonder why some have such a dim view of the Western FGC?
