It is but I can understand why people think it's only fan service since team ninja keep giving this game that image, team ninja doesn't really care that much about the fans TBH they mostly care about getting sales which is why they keep adding sexed up female characters with fetish costumes. Raidou was the only male that got added since ultimate and he didn't even got a debut pack while every pair of tits did. The male characters barely get attention and usually are worse than the female characters.

This is actually not true. I play other games. I like some things better than DOA, but I also like some things that DOA has opposed to other games. Tom Lee a TN representative goes to tournaments & he's always engaged with not only this community, but others as well. Even with Tekken, SF, & MK representatives (Ed Boon, Harada, etc) while being there, sharing ideas even going out to diner & things. He pulls me to the side & talks with me about what I think about this game as well as others. And I can be honest with him. Even what I like & dislike or comparing the mechanics towards the ones I've been playing recently. LR included. He voices for this community. There are some others who do, too & I don't like everything about the game (they're my personal reasons but I won't address them here). Team Ninja just give people more fanservice than others. I don't like it anymore than you do, trust me. Nor does Tom. Mechanically, that's debatable, but I can't let anyone just up & say this because it's not everyone at that headquarters who think like this.

I understand that not everyone at the headquarters likes it but the majority does, I just want them to add a male for once I don't mind females but in the past 3 years they added 5 females and 1 male and all the females got a fetish Uhm I mean debut set but the only male that got added didn't get anything which is sad. I just want them to give the male characters some attention for once like a male only collab set.

No, they continue to use the same marketing strategy because its working. And casual fans of the series are eating it up. So why stop what isn't broken?

On the flip side, TN is also still pleasing the actual competitive player base by providing playable and balance content, and tournament events (and its up to the community ultimately adapt to change or not). But MORE of the player base has to participate in that as well. Anyway, not trying to get off topic here.

I doubt he'll do that, and let's be honest the DOA community isn't really a good community and DOA is kinda a fan service now

And any other fighting game isn't? Let's be real, Street Fighter V is literally a few steps away from becoming DOA-lite(Chun Li is getting an outfit pack specifically to herself, the females getting a summer bikini pack to themselves, a few of the females have obviously skimpy costumes and more than one has a seductive-like personality, etc.), Soul Calibur has LONG outranked DOA in regards to becoming a fanservice fighter.

Even other fighters honestly have more skimpy outfits as defaults than the female characters(or even a sexy walk as a normal walk motion) in this game. Honestly, the ONLY thing you can toss against DOA at this rate is that it embraces it's fanservice...which you can freaking say for ANY FIGHTING GAME CHARACTER since only an absolute few don't look like Adonis's or Aphrodite's(wow, Street Fighter has Dhalsim, Rufus and Blanka who looks somewhat bad...that SO takes away from the fact that there is still more manmeat that any woman would swoon over than someone like them 9 times out of 10)

Escaping projectiles is fine, but are still useful tools. Especially one as fast as this one. The fact that you HAVE to escape means its already making you commit to an action (wasting 1+ seconds to avoid it is Pro to having a projectile).

It looks like it might be a high as well. And if both her fan and Ryuenbu can be cancelled into, then that already makes them very good. We'll see though when she's released.

They can be canceled into, the combo video pretty much shows Ryuenbu can be cancelled and I think Kachousen can be canceled into just as easily. As I remember looking at that fan translation, they mentioned 4 moves that can be canceled into easily.

Not any woman swoons over that man meat and not only women swoon over that man meat, just saying. And you are right, I iust want TN to give the males some more attention that's all I ask.

You know EXACTLY what I mean by that...
Obviously it's there for female and gay male titillation as is the opposite for the women. And males getting more attention is a lost cause at this rate not because DOA has always been that way but simply put, Koei Tecmo won't allow it.

Right, your brilliant observation is.

Do I need to remind you that the series has always been met with an "oh, that titty fighting game" upon mention, had bouncing tits and hot girls since the very first game, and a bikini collecting simulator with a gravure viewer all before 5 happened?

By all means, stay delusional.

Aw shit... I can't wait to see what her character interactions would be.

Hypothetical (and probably cringe-worthy) Tag Team Introductions

Mai/Kasumi
Mai: "Oooh, a fellow kunoichi?"

Kasumi: "Let's prepare."

Mai/Kasumi
Mai: "Yo, Nippon-ichi!!"

Kasumi: "This is the Mugen-Tenshin!"

Mai/Ayane

Ayane: "Hey, calm down for a second!"
Mai: "So mean..."

Mai/Ayane
Ayane: "Geez, where do these people come from?"
Mai: "I heard that."

So is that one guy still recording some Mai videos or is too soon? I still can't find any videos of her, and she's been out for a few days now XD.
