No one. I think most of the community has argued both characters should be in the game enough, and they likely will because of it as DLC. Why make a completely brand new asset when you can dip into your older more affordable one?

I'm confused by what you mean. DOA will most certainly have new DLC characters down the line, and it seems like they're not interested in putting Ninja Gaiden characters back in. What I'm suggesting presupposes that they'll favor new DOA characters over Ninja Gaiden ones. Either way, it's a creative decision, not one of resources. If it was just a question of cost, they'd have the Ninja Gaiden characters at launch.

I really hope Rachel makes it in. She is the sexiest and most badass girl. Though if they do bring her back, hopefully they give her a lot more new moves. A common complaint about her in 5 was that she was too boring and easy to use since she had a small moveset.

And I'm confused by what you mean, Baji. DOA will have new characters, sure, but they are going to bring in older ones in favor of more money for less work. It's not that hard to understand, and people predicted that they would be DLC as soon as the game was announced... not as base game characters. I pushed for it, but it didn't happen.

I'm posing a hypothetical "if Rachel doesn't come back," and your answer is "no." Okay? Then don't say anything if you don't want to entertain it.

Regardless, I don't think you should assume that a guest character will return to DOA since that's never happened. Also Shimbori has made it pretty clear that he does consider them guest characters and part of Ninja Gaiden, not DOA.

Then you haven't been reading interviews where he said he's personally looking into it. It just seemed like after I made my comment on your silly comment in the forum you had to take it a step further only minutes later. To me your comment wasn't hypothetical, but an attempt to sow bad seeds on their possibilities. You also seem to think your word is verbatim -- it's not. You don't work at TN or know what's happenin.

I really don't know where this aggression is coming from. And how am I sowing bad seeds? What's the endgame here? That a status post on a message board will make the guest characters you like not be in the game?

I just wanted to speculate on future characters and you jumped in to I guess pick a fight? You don't have to comment if you're not interested in the discussion.
