The DOA5U "Casual" thread. ^__^

[Brute]

Isn't that already what Christie is? She already takes pleasure in seeing Helena's grief when she killed Maria and has taken a morbid fascination towards her that way.

I meant more in the "I'll eat your organs and spaz out with tourettes" sorta thing.

Hmmm I would klike to see some Wing Chun Fighting style or Judo . If we get a Wing Chun Fighter like Ip Man say we the uncle from Gen fu or the a friend of gen fu that would be badass. You select the Wing Chun Fighter eith Jahn Lee is like Ip man with Bruce Lee . Hmm For Judo I think Goh Hinagami would fit it. A Capoeira Fighter would be great too !

This just brings back the Gore in DOA topic again. If you want her to be some Spawn of the Nemesis, best add this girl up to NG as a villain.

Marirose is really cute and also if I agree that the gothic lolita is surely not an original character type, in the roster of DoA she is surely unique. Sadly I don't think that we could expect too much for her characterization, for the simple reason that she will not have a part in the plot. People make fun of the story mode, but actually it's just what allow to a character to show a personality, something that a backstory and a bunch of poses can't substitute: I think that no one can say that the final picture of Mila and Rig emerging from their role in the story is the same of what we were able to read in her bio or see in their animations; Leon and Ein are old acquitances, while Rachel and Momiji are already characterized in another series.

Sadly Marirose wouldn't benefit of anything of all this, but considering like Team Ninja really decided to give a big focus to the new characters of Rig and Mila making them main ones in the Mist and Tournament plots, I'm sure that they will give a big role also to Marirose in DoA6

She's the cutest fucking thing ever oh my god. But with the whole blonde hair do & her being revealed with a regular Lorelei do you think she's gonna be connected to Helena some how?

I don't know, but I would love to see her like another stepsister of Helena and Kokoro (Fame Douglas continue to give show... XD) However we haven't to judge only from the appearences, Lorelei was very likely the best stage for showing her (being a castle that is perfectly associated with the gothic style) and her blonde pig-tails haven't to be necessarily connected with Helena's blonde ponytail XD (even Rig seemed associated to Bayman before the release of DoA5).

So is this character coming to consoles? I don't think TN would pass up on the opportunity for extra money, but then again I thought that with the Warriors Orochi costumes and TN was like: "Fuck you. We hate your ass if you're not Japanese!" so I'm honestly not sure anymore.

Team Ninja announced the Arcade Edition with a new character, even before the full release of DoA5U: would be a silly move to announce an exclusive content for a new edition, when you haven't still fully released not a simple old version of that game, but even a remake of that game.

More like I said various times:
- The empty place for another character (and only one ) in the random character filter;
- The empty place for 3 extra victories poses in the movie section;
- The empty place for 1 extra losing pose in the movie section;
- The presence of an extra slot dedicated to the random selection (dices).

They seem to me all hints saying that TN had already planned to add a DLC character to DoA5U later (very likely to promote the Arcades giving a reason for being interested to them having, for a temporary period, something extra compared to the console versions already in the Japanese homes).

About the Warrior Orochi costumes, you can be sure that they will arrive on the European and American market, the new policy of Team Ninja is only to create temporary exclusives (the only exception is the Hayabusa Epigonos outfit in the Xbox and Ps3 versions of Razor's Edge with inside a save of the original NG3, a sort of "apology" for the owners of the unsatisfactory Vanilla version).

There are really no doubts about, in a recent tweet Team Ninja has also announced like the Ragnarok Ace outfit for Kasumi will be released also on Xbox (and honestly there would be no reason for doing it, seeing that the Ragnarok game is a PS3 exclusive and the outfit of course want promote the game).

PS: On a related note, I'm not more sure that original Lorelei is a good news... sure, I'm glad to see the return of the original DoA3 stage, but sadly I have the suspect that it will end to cover one of the 2 empty slots for new DLC stages in the Random filter stage. This would be a sort of waste of space, when we could get for example Aerial Gardens and Dragon Hills, or some other new or old stage in the place of a clone of Lorelei.

I hope that DoA3 Lorelei will be treated like a variant of Haunted Lorelei, but I doubt about it...

 

[Rawbietussin]

I will still think that she is Helena's childhood bestfriend..... -hides under a rock-

Or Kokoro's classmate.
Or Eliot's spoiled little sister.
Or Rig/Christie/Lisa's new boss when Donovan dies.
Or Rachel's future child who went to the present.

 

[Zeo]

I actually hoping for a bit of an evil personality. Not so much a cutesy type but just a bit to the point of sadism. Her being rich couldn't hurt, but a personality of an antagonistic sort. Playful but in an evil way, one that makes you cringe.

I'd take that over a typical cutesy lolita who for whatever reason is wearing gothic attire. Given her attire actually, I'd say she was part of some cult or organization. That couldn't hurt but... point is she has potential. Tomorrow we see gameplay but also a glimpse at her character. All the cards will be put on the table, let's see what unfolds.

On another note, I doubt she'll have relations to any of the current cast.

 

[Yaguar]

Or Eliot's spoiled little sister.

Oh god please! We need more Brits. She could come with some great shell suit DLC.
Though if she's a British teen there is a 95% chance she is pregnant too.

I could be wrong but I don't think so: almost every new characters has always some relations with people of the current cast - almost because Leon and DoA3s Brad Wong were the only exception -

In Marirose's case, not having a part in the story mode (neither in another series like the NG or the VF charas), it's even more needed for making her a personality and justifying her Tag Teams (that very likely will be only a couple, but I hope much more).

Doubt any other girl can portray the elegance of a mermaid other than Helena with the seashells. I have a hunch that Marirose would get conservative swimsuits from Kasumi, Hitomi and Leifang's X2 swimsuit sets or if TN is creative enough, make an entirely new swimsuit for her.

Breaking down all the nationalities of the characters (VF characters included), we got:
8 Japanese
6 Americans
5 Chinese
2 British
1 Russian (though some people hints out Marirose is most likely a Russian, not sure if it is confirmed)
1 French
1 Canadian (Forgot about Rig, sorry)
1 Spanish
1 Italian
1 German
1 Vigoorian
1 Gelatinian (Lol Alpha-152)

You misunderstand him, he doesn't mean a suit of shells he means a puffy tracksuit style jacket lol.

[Rawbietussin]

-facepalms- I took the literal meaning. XD

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

Irish maybe ?
Or Scandinavian ?

Would be nice. I asked TN for a Swedish blonde loli with a Sherry Birkin vibe.

Edit : The fact that she could be Swedish would be such a troll from TN after what happened there with DOAD...

 

[Akumasama]

Leon is supposedly Italian but honestly he never looked Italian at all. Wonder where they got the idea that an old guy who uses russian martial arts, dresses like a middleeastern vagabond and hangs around deserts could be an italian.
I mean... yes he could, but not exactely what I'd call a particularly efficient representation of italians lol.

I still think that Leon being italian is a typo that nobody bothered to correct over the years

Time to ask Bayman for a Piers Nivans partner.

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

I hope she will be related to Rig in some way, so we can have a Jake/Sherry relationship. I know it's a classic, but I'd love that.

I hope she is not Russian, we need more diversity (yeah I know, that's only Bayman, but there are other countries in the world too).

The yandere archetype is what you're looking for. I think it's actually pretty common among gothic lolitas.

Damn, I forgot about Rig, I know I was missing a Canadian when I made a nationality breakdown. I can see Marirose as a Dutch or a Dane. Maybe she can be Monegasque like Lili.

I think she can be Rig's bratty little sister.

 

[TRI Mike]

That'd open up some fantastic incest options.

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

There was two themes for Lorelei right ? What if one of them was for RM ?
