Pretty awesome, so excited!

and I agree about the Boss fight, whoever it is it needs to not be ridiculous like it has been in the past, especially Donovan who was the most annoying to fight with the horrible camera angle

If DOAX wasn't canon, then why do the girls in DOA wear swimsuits????????????

It's optional DLC.


If it's canon, they would've been on the disc as standard costumes! Hell, in DOA5, they would've even been used in this game's story mode as proper attire for a situation! =P

Well they were standard costumes for Dead or Alive Ultimate.

edit: this popped up somewhere
1000px-DOA5_Pai_Swimsuit.jpg

Another example of canon (or non-canon, in this example) would probably be the appearance of the VF characters in DOA5, in relation to the VF universe. When VF6 rolls around, (unless otherwise officially stated), Akira, Sarah, and Pai are gonna be bumbling along like DOA5 never happened.

I knew you were gonna pull that Ultimate card... in DOA2U's case, you know good and well they were merely throw-ins to keep certain fans happy, as it was being run on the same graphics engine as DOAX. Why wouldn't Itagaki take advantage of the fans happiness (although my wish for Christie to be playable didn't come true)?

At the end of the day, none of this escapes the fact Leifang's ending in 4 wasn't canon. In almost every fighting game, most character endings apart from a select few are ever canon. And dad-gummit, I'm all canoned out, let's get back to the canon topic before something bad happens to me canonically.

(Man, I'm starting to sound like Johnny Arcade from Video Power... *shrugs*)

Hey man, murder is a serious thing you can't just shrug that off. In most fighting games, their stories aren't canon cause each of the character's story usually involves each of them being the one true winner of whatever tournament. Though, i'm sure in DOA lore that there's been exact winners of each tournament, and not everyone's story ending has much if anything to do with actually having won a tournament.


Watch it.
WATCH IT.
WATCH AS YOUR BELOVED LEI FANG COMMITS ATROCITIES.
WATCH AND LISTEN AS SHE DOES HORRIBLE THINGS TO THE TUNE OF A CATCHY, SOOTHING SONG, WITH SUPPORT FROM A CROWD OF PEOPLE.

WATCH AS NO ONE CARES AS ONE MAN DIES FOR THE SINS OF ANOTHER.

Just look at DOAD's story mode, that's where DOA5 is building from. Also, that structure of story mode eliminates the random/BS character endings.

I liked them. They add character. If it's just all serious fucking stupid shit all the time, DOA5 is gonna be burned out on "fun" really really fast.

In doa4 and prior its like time attack with 2 usually pointless cut scenes in between, followed by an ending. The chapter format is way more cohesive and substantial.

I dont think the entire story mode revolves around the ninja's, and the mini missions also add something to it. Its your opinion of course, but I would never prefer DOA4's format.

I was thinking more along the lines of every other fighter ever, including the Itagaki DOA's. (in regards to not being 100% full on intense serious HONKI DESU KA all the time.)

Yo that's low, we were chatting about character endings, not how you play story mode. Don't go mixing it up like that like it's what you were talking about in the first place.

DOA will always exist in my mind for its amazing character ending movies. I will, time and time again, gaze gloriously as that leaf falls on Kasumi's breasts. Wonder in awe as Eliot trains away time itself. Bask in the serenity of Brad Wong's meditation through the seasons to acquire sobriety. Laugh in confusion as Lei Fang murders an old man. Wonder what could have been as Jann Lee tosses his shirt away ready to pound some hooligans at his bar, revealing 3d modelling so detailed that we wouldn't even get a glimpse of it in Hollywood films for another couple of years, while pretty obviously depicting what the future for DOA character design was suppose to be before Team Butts decided they wanted to rewrite history.

I love all those character endings, each for their own unique reasons. Each character in DOA obviously had a tremendous amount of identity tied to them. To focus solely on the ninjas seems dumb to me, and I hope that isn't actually the case for DOA5.

This is around the time The Spirits Within came out, obviously way way way better CG than that. Thats why you say weird things.

nahdude, spirits within didn't have very good CG. it was high poly, sure - but it didn't have details like veins bulging or muscles contracting beneath skin.

So the small thumbnail in the middle is Alpha-152.

Are there any plans to get some gameplay footage of her, before the actual release of the game?
Dr. Dogg should know.

So, we can haz AlphaZ?

They plan to do that after the release as the final character reveal. Of course, there will be footage of her online before then, unless by some miracle no one unlocks her.
