Here's another vid if you missed the first one.

I'm sure it can't be that bad. It'll be like using Inferno or Charade in the SC series except with having all the moves at once in a match rather than getting a new style every new round

It IS that bad because why go create a character (And a very very gorgeous one at that) and make her a mimic type character.

Anyway has anyone access to Honoka's full command challenge? The one on youtube gets cut off around the 102/110 mark.

Just a sidenote about what I wrote on the Japanese trailer for Honoka's taunts:

I know that it's a silly ironical thing, but the inclusion of Rock/Paper/Scissors is really a little stroke of genius! Not only it was added in DoA the sub game of the Chinese tradition that it's always put in comparison with the triangle system, but apparently you can also play an entire match Honoka vs Honoka only through Rock/Paper/Scissors. Indeed seems just that in the first round off the RPS, the Honoka using Rock made damage on the one using Scissors, the second time the Honoka with Scissors won on the Honoka on the right apparently using Paper, the last time both of them used Scissors and both of them got damage.

Maybe it's just me that I like silly things, but I'm in love with this thing if true!

EDIT: Thanks @Squizzo for the video: about the moveset, remember that the first video reported in the description something about how it was an early phase of the game and that moves could be missing or glitched in Honoka's list.

Also, live demo of Last Round in a week:

Remember that people at Koei Tecmo Europe try to make a favor to who want see the new characters in action, but they aren't players of DoA5. Don't attend the live expecting to see something useful for competitive purposes, this will not happen simply because they are common players.

Thanks for the info! Hopefully someone will record this because I will not be available during that time.

Tecmo Koei Europe save their streamings, so don't worry about it =)

If they're not DOA players, they probably won't even be looking for new costumes or anything. I wouldn't expect to seeing anything new or noteworthy in that playable demo. Just a lot of people loosing with Marie and spinning the camera around her losing pose.

lmao @ the 5/5 competitively salad parameters

Best dish on the menu. TN favorite. Wow. Such salad.

Lol, no, no XD They aren't DoA players was intended as they don't play constantly the game, so they don't know how to play technically to it, but not that they don't know the series and the fans. They are the people behind the Twitter and Facebook account of Tecmo Koei Europe, they are all the days in contacts with fans of DoA, Dinasty Warriors etc.. so they know what people wish to see. And about DoA, they are the first to know for requests of outfits and hairstyles from the casual crown, be sure that you will see news about it (but in any cases I think not zoom on lose poses XD).

More, the streaming is accompanied from a chat and so people can also try to make requests on live to them: I believe that the streaming will be short (maybe will last an half hour like the last time), but if requested in time I think that people should be able to see what they wish (of course if present in the version of Last Round released, for example I believe that last time some hairstyles showned at TGS weren't included in the demo showned).

In all the cases be sure that the streaming will see overall Raidou and Honoka as main stars of the show.

Here's another vid if you missed the first one.

I love it when she mimics Tina's "Here I come" and Jann Lee's "WATAAHH"
She actually looks quite fun to play as lol

 

[CFW]

All matchups 6-4 in Salad's favor.

 

[GreatDarkHero]

*sigh* I know a lot of people enjoy playing this game but one would have thought that TN would at least utilize the more competitive groups for putting DOA5LR demo on showcase...
As for the command training on Honoka's behalf, I can already see the interesting tech and combo longevity she can offer...

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

I'm not in love with the character of Honoka like I was after seeing Marie or Nyo, but I don't despise her.

She's not very unique, but she's like a tribute to all the character's uniqueness.
The costumes are really ugly though. I just like her C1. I wish she had more moves too.
I can't believe Tina was dethroned...

My reason for liking her, though, is that one day, sometimes, I imagine that if I had to create my own fighting style (Kwon Fu), I would use some elements from DOA character's movesets.
Bass's bear hug was part of it, Jann Lee's DS_6P+K too, Helena's 66K+H, etc.
I just love the idea, plus the character has pink hair which is a great bonus.

In a nutshell, the only problems with her are the costumes and the nationality.

 

[Rubedood]

While i like that TN gave this character a more curvaceous build, giving her a young face like that really looks bad, and clashes heavily with the rest of her. If they made her look older, then i would have probably liked her more. Yeah her boobs are a little too big, but it's the face that turns me off the most. I really only like the costume with the skull t-shirt, also. Rest are meh.

Playwise, she looks like a massive troll character. If I get this game down he line, I'll use her for that purpose alone.

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

So her body isn't curvy or anything ?

Also which characters are totally excluded from her movesets ?

 

[Macca Beam]

In a nutshell, the only problems with her are the costumes and the nationality.

Bizarre. I remember reading this exact line during the LC shitstorm.

 

[TRI Mike]

I don't understand the salad joke...

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

Bizarre. I remember reading this exact line during the LC shitstorm.

Yeah, except that I'm okay with both characters' presence.
Honoka has so much potential.

Is the video of her moveset final ? It looks unfinished... who posted it ? How did it leak ?

 

[Jacnob]

Bizarre. I remember reading this exact line during the LC shitstorm.

Why did the costume thing even matter in Tekken? They have a costume creator....

 

[Xhominid The Demon Within]

I said her moveset flowed well. I was expecting it to be jerky as hell. Her character is ass though and the rage you guys have shown is perfectly justified.

In her own forum!? No, no it's not.
