Kasumi and Ayane then Leifang and Hitomi. Minuscule changes, slap on different hair, and there is a new character. I don't know about this place but when Mai was shown people, including me, thought it was Momiji at first. The DOA5 character models were even shown to be the same a while back.If you mean facial expressions, then you're right but if you mean face design for the girls, than I need you to cite some examples ofrom 5 before I can agree with you because I'm pretty sure that up until Honoka showed up, every girl had a distinct facial design.
To get back to Diego and NiCO; I find it a bit odd that they made NiCO european despite being made to appeal to asian audiences. I'll give TN some credit in trying to make her distinct with her Silat fighting style (according to the wiki, she is the first character in a fighting game with that style) with electrical abilities and distinct hair color, as out of place as it is. Compare this to Diego's design which I can describe as Miguel from Tekken with worse hair* and is Mexican-American rather than Spanish.
*Seriously, his hair is terrible.
I don't know what it is but this place is the only place that really believes it never existed before Marie. Even I experienced the same face issue first hand and others have been complaining since DOA5 released. I have never seen the same face complaint for any other game besides maybe MK. I'll leave it at this though. The consensus here is that it didn't exist before Marie so there is no point discussing it.
