DOA5 Boss?

[akhi216]

I kinda want the Megaman effect to happen at the end of the DOA5 story mode...you fight all the past bosses over again, and really pull some retro stuff like two stage boss battles like Ogre/True Ogre, I'll Really dig that kinda of thing.

The Ogre/True Ogre thingy was done with Raidou in DOAD at the end of the DOA1 storyline.

the feeling of actually beating a boss and getting a sigh of relief is what made NG1 so epic....ok sorry to the tangent again...

I know what you mean. I had so much fun when I finally beat the first three bosses on NG that I cut the power off on the Xbox just so I could get that feeling again. Genra as Omega on DOA3 was a pushover on normal, but on very hard beating him never failed to give me an adrenaline rush.

In the absence of Itagaki Team Ninja has adopted a philosophy that involve making games easier. I hope they either refine or rethink this strategy because the AI on DOAD was appalling. I completed the 100 wins in survival mode simply because the later combatants would literally do nothing but defend attacks randomly after going super saiyan until my health got to around 30%. It made me feel like I didn't earn it. Overall, it was a good game given the hardware limitations of the 3DS, but the AI was trash.

Without owning a 3DS I would not know how well the game was(in AI or in general) however I get what you mean. I see why they think making games easier is better because they can ring in a larger group of players however I think that should be an Option(like Ninja Dog mode, but without the insults...) because lets face it there are people who play games on easy mode, but still the normal difficulty shouldn't be easy and hard shouldn't be normal. I guess there is this Generation Gap or something between gamers that I'm failing to see. Back in my day it was something to brag about beating Omega Rugal in KOF 98' on 1 quarter....or doing the same in DOA1 in my local pizza joint....times are different now, you can only do that if you get all 1000 achievements or something....>_>'

I would like to see Alpha-152 as a Mid Boss, the scene with Hayate would be:
*Alpha 152 Mimics totally Kasumi's Voice* Hayate...
- a distracted Hayate says as he turns - Kasumi! What are you do...WHA~!

But you know, I have hopes :V

 

[TRI Mike]

My logic tells me we WILL see Bayman using that powerful... power thingy at some point in the story.

Ok so I ended up watching the DOA story mode .. umm...ok so ... WTF ENDING?

Donovan changes from a silver mask to a black mask with red LED lights... >__>
Thats supposed to be a cliffhanger?
I dont get it. >__>

heres a total mind fuck. what if he's acctually Shiden?

I still think the boss is toothpaste Kasumi....

Shiden wouldn't have any logical reason to don that mask. The only reason I could come up with is if he wanted extra power to kill Raidou, but Raidou was killed at the end of DOA1 and he would've donned the mask after DOA4.

Actually, seing how Christie is getting more and more important in the storyline (she is not only Helena's rival anymore, but also Bayman's rival, Ryu's troll with Irene, and now Rig's head hunter maybe), I'm saying she could totally be the Boss (or at least mid-boss) for that DOA5. She can certainly take the control at some point in the storyline. I mean, Donovan is a ghost...

 

[RuNNing Riot]

I think he means Shiden could have been Donovan all along, manipulating everyone into doing his bidding unknowingly. It's not likely at all but a cool enough plot to consider.

 

[CyberEvil]

It'll be Donovan or Rig. Rig having memory issues is a dead giveaway that he'll be in some way tied to the endgame and Donovan is likely involved in that.

 

[Blackburry]

Dural has to be the most generic and boring boss of any fighting game. I don't see why you'd want such an anti climatic end to the story.

 

[d3v]

Makes me think that Rig is Donovan who somehow lost his memories.

That's entirely possible. In the true DoA4 ending, Ryu destroys Donovan's air vehicle and it shows the flames washing over him. In the DoAD ending, he makes a point of hiding his face with the mask. Rig also has scars on his head. It's possible, though more likely he's feigning the memory loss if that's going to be the case.

 

[BlackOrochi]

Rig also has scars on his head.

Thought they were hair stripes...

 

[CyberEvil]

Could be either/or at this point. The memory thing is what led me there. I could be wrong naturally. This is all just conjecture.

EDIT: Yeah, they look stylized so we'll go with them being there for style points instead of scars lol. The rest of my theory is solid though.

Thats a hair design first of all. Second why would he fight Christie then? That doesn't add up.

 

[BlackOrochi]

So Donovan lost his memory and learned Tae Kwon Do on an offshore oil rig... Is that what you're saying?

 

[Deleted member 473]

Yeahhhh..Doesnt make sense lmao

 

[CyberEvil]

I already mentioned the hair design part. As for the idea making sense...I'm sorry, we're still talking about the same series, right? Aside from Raidou raiding the village back before DoA1, nothing in the story has really made a lot of sense.

Some people entered DoA1 to kill Raidou.
Raidou gets killed by Kasumi who now has to go on the run for abandoning her village to do it.
Hayate is kidnapped and cloned, loses his memory, ends up in a forest in Germany where he's found, trains at Hitomi's father's dojo, and masters karate.
DoA2 happens, Tengu attacks for some reason that's related to destroying the world, and Hayabusa kills him like a boss. Hayate gets his memory back.
DoA3 happens. Genra is corrupted somehow by DOATEC, Ayane goes after him to kill him, does so, and nearly nothing else that happens matters.
DoA4 happens, everyone is manipulated into attacking or defending DOATEC, Donovan is seemingly killed, Alpha-152 runs away, Helena shoots one of her late father's mistresses in head, and that's about it. Bayman goes fucking nuts, I guess.
Dimensions adds some clarity on who killed certain people and shows off a potential lead-in to Donovan being the boss of DoA5.

Sorry if I skipped anything but that's basically DoA. You really want to talk about things making sense?

Side note: It's actually impossible for Donovan to be Rig due to his bio (he's run the rig from a young age), but I feel like you're putting way too much stock in the cogency of DoA's story.

Did you ever think that Rig may be a clone of Bayman?

 

[CyberEvil]

Nah, because both of their DoA5 models have been shown and the faces are nothing alike.
