Raidou is not the most original character in existence. But, he at least has a threatening and overwhelming presence. He also kind of gets grandfathered in in terms of acceptance since he was a copycat from the start and a classic boss from the very first game. Everyone was expecting a returning character for the male, so it was basically either him or Genra. Raidou's moveset is more fleshed out and less out of left field in comparison.But we did get a new character though whether she copied other characters movs or not.
They also hype the male character and Raidou is another copy character and no one complained about him. Also if Honoka's bio is cringeworthy, then Raidou's is just plain bulls***, "He was once dead but was revived by Donovan" yeah exactly. And Raidou is no more original then Honoka is.
My point is that none of the 2 are any more or less generic then the other, so to bash one and not the other is pretty messed up.

Trust me I was disappointed when I found out that Raidou was picked over Genra as the "revived male fighter" b/c of the fact that he was a copycat. But in his case many of his moves are the ones that he had in Dimensions (i.e. copied moves from other fighters in Dimensions). Because 5 has significantly updated all of the fighters going from DOAD --> LR this now makes his dimensions moveset somewhat more unique.
This may be the case with Salad as well once DOA6 rolls around and the characters she copied moves from are once again updated.
I stand by the "less out of left field" part, at least. I only remember Genra having, like, 50 moves. That all I meant by "more fleshed out".
Have you even played Dimensions? Genra is a really fun character with a fleshed out moveset (and a helluva lot more unique than Raidou) and with some modifications could work really well in LR.

But, hey, I might be misremembering.
Huh. Raidou only had 53? My memory sucks. lolActually not counting his taunt Genra had like 43 moves in DOAD. XD Even though he had less than Raidou (who had 53 and Tengu had 50 iirc) I still felt like he had a very well established moveset that could easily be expanded upon. That EWGF was meant for Genra... T_T

But, I hear you. I do hope the moveset comes back one day. They may be doing even more DLC characters after all. How do you feel about schoolgirl Genra? lololol

My screen handle is right next to my avatar, silly. But, if that's not sufficient, let's go with I AM THE NIGHT.

I mean, you can not listen to me. The mods will smack you upside the head regardless.
Someone who's trying to help you before the mods change it themselves.
i see Selena Gomez in your future
nyo isn't really my type of character. She is fun to use but i don't myself getting anywhere with here. Same goes for marie rose, i tried to main them both didn't work out.
I mostly kasumi player, been this way since the beginning.
@Argentus honestly the cameo looking is the best outfit for thus far, but i don't mind her school girl outfit even though its generic.[/QUOT
...you only eat one piece of popcorn at a time? that's weird. I go full bukakke with my salty, buttery goodness.
This is the first thread I've created and I'm just sitting here reading everyone's comments in amusement.
Maybe if the moeblobs keep getting hate they'll make more characters like Mila and Rig....you only eat one piece of popcorn at a time? that's weird. I go full bukakke with my salty, buttery goodness.
Just kind of lay back and accept that any new characters will either be copycats, or generic japanophile weaboo moeblobs.
Or both, in the case of Salad, which is why she gets so much shit.
Even though Vanessa was my main, I still feel she'd be redundant, so I'd like the monkey girl. Eileen, I think her name was? She's cuteYeah at this point if we get any "new" characters I'm just hoping they're from VF. TNs made it pretty clear they're tapped out for creativity till DOA6 and id rather play the new Goh from VF5R than anymore moe characters.

And yes I eat one piece at a time, I am very posh, and listen to very posh classical music like this
