@HHH816 The definition comes from fighting games only realistically speaking.

But yeah, characters within the fighting genre that stuck with the game for multiple iterations. Not even Rig or Mila are considered legacy characters (least not yet anyway).

She's over 10 years old, and she's a Team NINJA character that debuted in DOA5 almost six years ago. I guess legacy character could work for some people depending on how you look at it.

@deathofaninja But it only "really" applies to fighting games though. Ryu Hayabusa started from games outside of fighting games until his debut to DOA and stuck with it even till now, he's considered a literal "legacy" character. If he was only in one fighting game or new to DOA, and using his history of being a character since ancient times, he wouldn't be considered one either.

As far DOA is concerned she aint no legacy character, chick showed up in one game game, by that definition Nicole and Genra are legacy characters

Unless things changed this time around (which can be weird), but to be labeled a sort of "legacy" character, the character has to feature in multiple iterations of the same game series. Such as Bass, Tina, Ayane, Leifang etc.

Basically characters who's been around since the beginning and not a 1-2 time thing. Shiden is old but he's only been in one game where he was playable so he's not really considered one either.

Momiji, Rig, Mila, Marie Rose, Honoka, Naotora, Rachel = Legacy characters

yeah right

So, do 5U and 5LR count as one game, or two games?

Funny thing is that Momiji was basically a guest character. Might as well ask for the VF's & Spartan back too...

@Force_of_Nature At least the VF characters were interesting to watch them execute their moves. Momiji is a bore-fest and puts me to sleep. Rachel kinda is too but she actually makes you think against her, so, it's engaging.

In the end does it really matter wether she’s a legacy character or not? Momiji is one of the best “guests” we ever got besides Rachel, Mai, Kula and the VF.

@Brute Upgrades don't count from my knowledge, usually mothership titled versions do. Leon and Ein were reintroduced as part of the 5th main DOA installment even if they weren't involved with vanilla.

@Onryoki It kinda does if people are using it as a scapegoat excuse to bring someone in the game. When someone says "She has history!" when she technically doesn't in DOA (being honest here), except Ninja Gaiden which doesn't count for fighting games. If the topic was about a new Ninja Gaiden sequel on the other hand and someone mentions it about her having history to include her in NG again, I'd believe it.

As for "best" guests, debatable. Barely used at tournaments, JPN players don't like playing her, simply easy to play, mostly being used for the casual player base to play dress up with the character because she's cute. She was everyone's sub character or the truthful response, everyone's leftovers. She's basically a house plant sitting in a corner that sits there only to look good.

Ahh, yes, again, a post from "DOA fans" that proves how 80% of the more casual players of the game/franchise are dumb as all hell. I don't want to think too much about the posts they make because I'd lose too many brain cells in the process.

Being used at tournaments doesn’t really equal being a good guest character. Anyway, this argument is pointless because it doesn’t matter, it really doesn’t. She’s a TN legacy character, period.

Again, she's not a legacy character.

Making stuff up for the sake of character entitlement does not equal validation with the character's status. So... derp?

Okay, but who cares? Sorry if I’m being too blunt, but like it honestly doesn’t matter what people call her or not. If she’s a legacy character to some people then she is to them. If she’s not to others, then she’s not to others. It’s not that hard to comprehend.

Blunt about basically nothing?

But again, repeating that she's a legacy character (which is false) for a fighting game is silly. There's no such thing as "she's a legacy character to some" when she **never was** lololololol. Holy jeebus, how hard is that for you to understand?

I’m just saying that everybody has their own opinion about this matter. If I believe she’s a legacy character, then she is one in my belief. Wether that’s delusional or not, doesn’t matter. That’s all I’m saying.

That's like ordering french fries with no fries in it though.

"There's no french fries in the box, but I still believe that the fries are there. It's just invisible". Well ok, eat the box I guess lol.
