I'll show her some respect too... *directs camera to her rear end*
You and me both, buddy.
Anyways, having had time to fully invest some time into DOA5 and DOA5U, I figured I should revisit this topic. My tastes have matured, after all... well, maybe only a little.
Carried over from 5:
/
: These two were the characters that sealed the deal for me: an MMA fighter trying to live upto her idol's standards and a Taekwondo amnesiac Canadian voiced by Liam O'Brien. The rest of the cast is great, but these two sealed the deal, and they're both characters I'm trying to improve with... although Rig's taking some getting used to, still.
: I knew Kasumi before I knew Hitomi, but her hard-hitting styles were another drawing point for me. Also, dat denim jacket. Just... dat denim jacket.
: The Dragon Ninja. Master of the Izuna Drop. Mr. "Screw you guys, I've got my own series that's equally awesome.". He led me to DOA, which brought me to NG, which brought me right back with a greater appreciation for the ninjas... except for Hayate.

: Honestly, probably the two greatest examples of 3D fighting game beauty. Helena's position as the Big Good and Kokoro's ditzy cuteness are quite endearing to me. Also, They were the only girls who looked decent up close in the pre-5 games. I also love seeing Ba Ji Quan in games.
: Drunken Fist. Hella fun to play as. 'Nuff said.
Added with 5U:
: News of her making it to 5U pushed me to getting NG3:RE that much sooner to understand what the hype was about. After that, plus a little online research to fill in the blanks, I was hyped with everyone else. Now that she's playable, she feels like the only new character to completely live up to my expectations, and is fast becoming my new main.
: Leon's gameplay itself felt... weird, so I didn't play him for long, but I see some amazing power in him, and he has some of the best fight dialogue, hands down. "Come back after you pick up your teeth!"
: The man Hayate should still be... personality-wise. Hayate: mostly a dick. Ein: Kind, spirited competitor. It's nice that Hayate warms up around Hitomi and the other ninja, but I can't help but think if he was a bit
more Ein-y, he'd be more popular and therefore not the first guy down in 5's story mode. Also, good vibrations. Also also, Vigaku.
