My biggest problem is that they cut characters out at all, ESPECIALLY characters who actually are either mainstays for the series or otherwise are directly tied to the series in canon like Ninja Gaiden. I mean, it's one thing to cut out Alpha 152/Phase 4 (due to their being Kasumi clones) or Sarah Bryant/Pai Chan/Mai Shiranui/Naotora Ii (since they're guest characters and thus would require legal mumbo jumbo to use again due to trademarks/copyrights and all that stuff), it's quite another to cut out girls who actually ARE part of the Dead or Alive/Ninja Gaiden cast. And for the record, I'd still be angry even if they cut out the new girls as well, even the ones I don't particularly like. It's a beach vacation game for the girls, you don't cut out characters for that. And it also doesn't help that Dead or Alive 5 Last Round was able to include a roster of 36 whopping characters, meaning they could easily add in all 15 girls into the DOAX3 cast. I mean, did they cut out characters to make room for Kokoro in Xtreme 2? Or even do that to make room for Rio in Paradise?
And BTW, unless you can give documented statistical proof that 75% or more people within the Dead or Alive fanbase are sick of seeing certain characters, worldwide, I suggest you don't state that most people are sick of them.
