If you had to go in detail, Hitomi and Ein have the standard approach to it, seeing as their move and animations can be converted to strike punishment. Ein for example, has his 3P which could be used as the common general launcher with most characters common launcher of d+f 3.
@Force_of_Nature I can see that. Ayane does have some good launchers that helps. Also she has possibly top 3 spacing options. My only concern is how her strike game would come into play (Mostly since I don't use her much anymore) but after that I can see her in tekken.
@DestructionBomb I can see them both as well. It's interesting. I never would've thought their button layout's much similar to some of the standard stuff Tekken got. XD. If anything I should have used them to prep for Tekken since their buttons do correlate to Tekken's. But nonetheless, I can see them as well.
Ein/Hitomi would be boring in Tekken though, as much as I'd love to see Asuka and Hitomi in one game Tekken already has several different Karate styles.
I might make a forum out of this. I'll definitely include the people mentioned here. I feel it's a good discussion for people to have in regards to both DOA and Tekken. I would include VF but we kinda see how VF fits with DOA.
As for Ayane, hardly anyone would be able to reach her without getting smacked by something on a large or infinite stage if she were to maintain her Integrated Movement options.
TBH, Tekken feels like a watered-down VF with more emphasis on long juggles.
@Force_of_Nature Idk about tekken being a watered down VF, but I feel that both games play similar. But it would be cool to see Akira and Jin go at it. 1fk vs EWGF. That's a sight to see. Or Sarah bending stance vs Hwoarang bending stance.
Harada has denied Kasumi as well as Goku. Goku does not make sense so of course he'd say no. People are getting too carried away with guest choosing. It does not mean pick "anything" you want. Pick the ones that makes the most sense as a fighter. (Obviously fighting game characters?)
DOA slots is still available. I keep saying this, but it'd be best if he picked Hayabusa or whatever since he did played NES NG.
