Characters New Character Discussion

what if (and this is assuming there hasn't been a move list leaked yet) the input of the moves aren't the same as the original characters she stole from? That'd be kind of cool.

Until you realize that's what'd make her most useful to learn from. If she stays true to Jeet Kune Do principles, she'll "copy the essence (~Dan Inosanto)" of the arts, which means we can use her as a perfect character to teach every important aspect of the game.

I am interested in seeing what this "Hissatsu-no-Kamae stance" is all about.

Get me the japanese name, and i'll give you an idea.

It would be cool if Honoka 's taunts were random every time, to mimic the characters she has moves from ^^.

This is a so simple but great idea XD

 

[TRI Mike]

After seeing bits of her gameplay several times, I think she's fine.

 

[Chapstick]

Honoka beam, that Bass Taunt where if you're too close he hits you, that taunt where Jann Lee poses and yells

 

[Jacnob]

What if she has Zack's smile attack? For some reason picturing that is almost as funny as when Zack himself uses it.

 

[Marteze]

Then she'd be even more like Raidou!

see, i didn't even know this about Raidou smh i guess we eating that salad then

I think the New Challengers pack was only for those who preordered the game digitally.

Is it even available to preorder on digital services (PSN store and Xbox store) yet? If I could get Ninja/New Challengers in one pack I'd be happy.

I haven't checked. I preordered from Amazon because I got a gift card, so I literally payed nothing for the game.

She's a very "safe" character. From a design standpoint I'm okay with that. Gameplay-wise not so much. It's the idea that they know those moves have worked well in the past (and it's a whole helluva lot easier recycling moves than creating new ones) so there won't be that many complaints about them. Characters like Nyo still have a few "wonks" that need fixed imo.

Interestingly I've been talking with Tekken players and they are actually very interested in her. I guess they have a different perspective on things though b/c they've had so many "copycat" fighters as opposed to DOA players where many of us have a mindset that each character's style should consist of many unique moves (I think that way at least).

For the last time. Phase 4 is NOT execution heavy.

This is Execution heavy:
:[[h+p+k]]:

My God! I don't even have those inputs in my game.

Tekken players honestly should have no issue with her. In earlier Tekken games, and even the most recent ones, fighting styles have been recycled and tweaked with slight differences. Honoka is basically our Ogre.

Well they won't have an issue b/c they're not the ones playing her. XD I hope that in 6 she develops more of her own fighting style even if it means expanding her Hissatsu-no-Kamae stance (whatever that is).

Interesting that you mention this...
I can see Nyotengu, Raidou and Honoka already cut from the (initial) roster of DOA6. They probably keep Marie and very likely keep Phase 4 though, because I can see them being incorporated in the main story quite well.

1) 90% of characters don't fit into the main story, even the launch characters of DOA5.
2) Marie wouldn't fit into the main story any better than the others. But she won't be axed, as she's the most popular character in the game.
3) Phase 4 will return just to spite me because she shouldn't.
4) Honoka wouldn't be cut. TN basically said they have Joe favoritism for her, and she wasn't even released yet.
5) If they cut Nyotengu I'd be so pissed off.

There's no way they'd cut Honoka, when she's the bustiest chick in the series.

I don't see why they would cut Nyotengu from DOA6, but if they did, I'm likely gone for good.

 

[Kodachi]

so does this mean she knows torn sky blast???

the story is so messed up now lawl

Apparently, yes. xD


There is no story for the new characters though, really.
