Character list leaked from Demo's EXE

[PhoenixVFIRE]

I wouldn't mind another form of Tai Chi since there are many variations of it. Any of the styles from Avatar the Last Airbender would be cool. Bagua would be a very sidestep heavy style(Aang makes me think this), Hung Gar(I'm not gonna lie, Gen Fu and Eliot remind me of this, so, not sure there), Northern Shaolin Kung Fu(Hayabusa reminds me of this when it comes to the kicks and such, they are all similar or the same).
Ty Lee would have been a perfect character for the Show stage IMO, I wonder what an acrobatic/chi blocker style would be considered? Honestly, the way Donnie Yen beat Twister kinda reminded me of it a little, hitting different areas and shit......

Now all you have to do is convince a developer to agree with you instead of picking readily available styles that are much more visually distinct. You'd probably see another JKD character in DOA before a Wing Chun one. And if you did get a "Wing Chun" character in name, the addition of kicks above the waist they'd need to add would make it, in effect, look like another form of JF JKD.

And using the number of ninja characters in a Team Ninja game to support your case is sort of head scratching. You'd have a better point with professional wrestlers. But again, there's a reason we have American strong style, puroresu, and lucha libre instead of greco-roman, freestyle, and catch wrestling (all of which have been incorporated into the previously mentioned styles).

I'd have to disagree.

IP Man and Bruce Lee are very distinct.

But thanks for using wrestlers to illustrate my point

Good job missing the point.

I'd really like to see something like Taekwondo, but now that they went back to 4-point (which I greatly appreciate) it could become problematic because of its strong emphasis on kicks. Judo would be cool,too.

Give him a safe mid-punch launcher and call it a day.

I can't be the only person who thinks that 3 VF characters is too much (although I'm a Sarah player so I'm not really complaining). It's just that they've given three character slots to guest characters, and only maybe two to new characters of their own franchise. They could have only put in Akira and it would have been just as interesting, and created two more new DOA characters.

Also, for some reason I'm expecting one of the new characters to have Nicole's move set (minus plasma grenades). I don't know why.

It's much easier to take an existing character model and move set (VF characters) and adapt it for a new game, compared to creating a completely new model and set of attacks.

That said, if one of the new characters is just Nicole's move set, I will be displeased. That would essentially mean we'd only have one truly new character. I think that's unlikely though, so as it stands, I'm fine with 2 new characters and 3 VF characters (assuming the leaked list is accurate).

yeah at this point, I will cry if Mila or Rig have Spartan's move set, especially considering Spartan's move set was a montage of everyone else's moves excluding a few strings or grabs...

Correction: It was a montage of two characters who were mirrors of each other and had been trying to differentiate since they both appeared. Then, they added some varying attacks and grabs at the end.

U funny...

You are not alone with this one. 3 VF characters are 2 too many. Akira is more than enough.

Although, DrDogg makes a valid point as to why they did this. It's still 2 too many.

You got me! /dies.... lol may I ask which two characters? All I can remember, low punch counter was Kokoro's, was Leon's, I think the high punch counter was very similar to Zack's. I assume these are the various other random attacks?

Makes sense...

 

[EMPEROR_COW]

honestly i want more vf ..
they are well established characters .. with unique moves and styles that either do not appear in doa or have a totally different animation...

i would love to see alot more vf in doa ...
would love to see vfs characters with doa stun/hold mechanics ... it would make them alot more accessible and fun as well

the vf characters are all unique, with a ton of moves and styles... adding them would be nothing but a plus to the game ... even if the styles were repeated ..

kage plays nothing like any of the doa ninjas
wolf and jeffry play nothing like tina and bass
lion and christie dont play the same ... AT ALL
we dont have a monkey style like eileen
we dont have a shaolin style like leifei (god... eileen and leifei would be fucking awesome .. )
el blaze and lisa dont play the same at all
shun di and brad wong dont play the same
there are no sumo wrestlers in doa with insane weight mechanics .. (hello takaarashi ! )
....
i can go on ...

whoever doesnt like the vf characters in the game clearly doesnt see the potential they bring to the fights in terms of variety and uniqueness ..
plus its easy to blend in the 2 worlds ...

we can just have some evil corporate merger that made dural and alpha-1235432534 whatever the number after her name is ..

i see alot of potential in this...

hopefully with the success of doa5 ... we can get a doa vs vf maybe the year after or something ... i honestly would love that ...

or ...
just keep the game fresh and give us a vf character as dlc every month or 2 ... im all for that as well ...

It might happen, haven't they already said that Virtua Fighter would be the game if they ever did a crossover? Technically, they already crossed over in DOA5...Also if they came out with a separate crossover which gameplay would they use?

Hopefully VF's entire system + universal counters (similar to Akira, Aoi, and Pai's) + DOA interactive stages.

 

[Dr. Teeth]

lots of stuff

I never said I didn't want to see a crossover, nor did I say that these two universes and games don't blend well. I'm just saying that this isn't DOA vs. VF. It's DOA 5. The focus should be on DOA characters. We're already getting three VF characters, and any more would seem like overkill. And besides, if they include a ton of VF characters in this game, it leaves them with almost nowhere to go if they were to do a true crossover game. I'd rather they hold off on every other VF character to create more hype for the crossover game (if they even do it). If we're going to get DLC characters, I'd rather they be from DOA. I'd much rather see Ein or somebody in DOA 5 than Jacky or anybody else from VF. Just my two cents.

Plus, it would probably be more profitable for Team Ninja to do it this way, since they get to make a whole other game (assuming it sells well).

 

[EMPEROR_COW]

not so much stuff

im hoping this will sell well..
and yes im hoping for the crossover.. but if its not happening i want my dlc VFs.. (and ein and tengu)
but thats just me

its not like the story will make any sense anyway with or without vf..
ein still comes n goes despite the memory return..
genfu doesnt die
kasumi still running.. you'd think they caught her by now .. n im surprized they got to clone her if a bunch of ninjas cant catch her..
leifang never beats janlee... etc...

 

[Dr. Teeth]

even less stuff

Fair enough. I guess all we can do is just wait and see what happens haha.

You're looking too far into things grap3.

Give "it" a safe mid-punch launcher and call it a day? Seems kind of rude to say it like that.
