Alter Egos

[Brute]

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I couldn't help but notice how infatuated Team Ninja is with alter egos in DOA5. For example, they made a FB post about "Mr. Strong" who they "wouldn't reveal the identity of," (Bass, obviously) and they again do something similar with Lisa/La Miraposa, who they reveal separate art for and seem to list differently with the in-game health bar display name.

We all know who these identities are, so why do they keep playing them up as separate? And are the name differences for Lisa/La Miraposa going to change based on costume in the final build, or will that same character occupy two slots, one for each ego?

No, they change names based on the costume they pick. So far, only Lisa and Bass have shown to be able to do this.

It was in DOA4 with Lisa too, in story mode if you choose La Mariposa with I think costume 4 the name will appear as Lisa.

In DOA4 they showed characters' eyes below their health bars rather than their names.

Yes, but he meant in the profiles next to a character's display on the Character Select in solo modes like Time Attack, Story, Survival, etc.

Oh, interesting. You learn new stuff everyday.
