well...if Phase-4 is broken like Vanilla Alpha, we will see tons of "plz nerf her" post XD
This isn't a problem, under the contingency that they actually see her PLAY.
My problem lies in the amount of bullshit that's been spread around
ALREADY about how somehow Phase-4 will automatically suck because 1) She's not Tengu and 2) She's a Kasumi clone.
If they see her play and decide to ask the company to nerf her because she's way too powerful, that's one thing but here's what I'm hearing based on nothing other than that the cloaked lady is a Kasumi clone and that she's going to be named Phase-4.
"We already have 2 Kasumi clones!"
"I demand Tengu, not another clone"
"Oh this is going to suck".
I admit I didn't play any of the other DoA games, but I don't get the love for Tengu at all. He looks like a reject from a dwarf-tossing contest, giving even Cyrano de Bergerac an inferiority complex, but I also think it's nothing short of absolute diarrhea that these people are dismissing this character simply based on mere speculation.
What I'd honestly do if I was Team Ninja is given that Marie Rose is pretty much a thinly veiled "fuck you" to the Swedes given the whole DoA Dimensions controversy, I'd teach these people a lesson they wouldn't soon forget. I'd make Tengu available if you managed to beat Survival mode as Kokoro, playing a special match with 500 opponents, then I'd unlock Tengu but I'd make it that he would have all his attacks, but they'd all do 1/2 normal damage.
This major nerf would essentially turn him into Dan from Street Fighter but it would be poetic justice.
