I wonder what the character, and her fighting style is?
Creating the game/series for the fans sounds like a good concept. What if fans wanted OMG mode? If they don't plan on including it, wouldn't that be against the "We want to include things that the fans will enjoy." opinion? For a series created for fans, wonder why we don't have english translation for DOAX VV or other languages that isn't just Japanese?
Personal taste between Shimbori & fans is something that would need some experimentation. But its really going to depend on what DOA6 has for unlockables & DLC.
"
then there is the competitive scene that may want entirely different things because they have to be televised and they can’t show certain elements that are unsafe for work. "
Have to be televised? Competitive scene don't have to be televised, its something you choose to do (unless streaming sites are being stupid). Don't we have age ratings especially when MK came to existence and created controversy? Televised should just show what content the games has to offer and give it the appropriate age rating (like in US TV-14 or TV-MA) without the need of not showing content due to unsafe for work BS.
The closet I see another update version is what kind of content that is bigger than characters, stages, & costumes combined, along with release on another console (like Switch & PS5). Definitely curious on what their DLC plans are going to be.
"there have been some misunderstandings about the game and I want them to feel at ease. We are making this game for the fans, we aren’t trying to make this game into Tekken."
Shimbori would definitely need to continue from what he showed at TGS from the collectors edition & costumes, and create a proper platform where people can insert what they want.
Dead or Alive is practically "Costumes", "Character releases" and as of now "whenever we need to talk about muh fanservice". Never talk about the numerous interviews the game has had or even the news of possible crossplay, Arcades when DOA6 releases, nothing. Hell, I bet they are looking for a way to talk about the ass physics and want to try and cover it with something like they did with the Strongest Package(They seriously tried to use it to justify how many characters there will be... when most people in the comment section saw it for exactly what it was).
If your a fan of DOA content that isn't just character releases, very few costume topics they put out (mainly third party & halloween), & fanservice discussion. Eventhubs isn't a good place for DOA content along with them being inconsistent, I knew Eventhubs costume coverage was decent from vanilla but gave up covering all the other costumes (which you see them on game stores or other sites & Eventhubs isn't talking about them). When there was the Tatsunoko collaboration, every comment section was about TVC (Tatsunoko vs Capcom). If it isn't SF or Capcom, everything else isn't worth the clicks.
