DOA5LR DEAD OR ALIVE 5 Last Round Tokyo Game Show 2014 stream

what stage is Nyotengu on?

It's Hot Zone.

EDIT: Too late.

No, I do not know what they are going to show at TGS, but here's my theories:

I expect those two character slots to be revealed by the end of TGS. Most likely in a new trailer. Trailer probably released at beginning or end of the MadCatz stream.

My reasoning for the character release? Well, Tom Lee stated that The Fall Classic will be the first Official American location test for Dead or Alive 5: Last Round. That would imply that all the characters are playable, including the currently unannounced ones, so that they can be properly tested at the location with early impressions.

Oh, and did I forget to mention The Fall Classic is in three weeks? Because of that I don't see any reason during those three weeks to announce the new characters when you have the eye of everyone at Tokyo Game Show.

Lastly, I expect the last two slots are male since the first three DLC characters were all female.

Nice reasoning about The Fall Classic, however I hope that they will have still things to show in the following months without revealing already all their cards for TFC.

And I would love to see 2 new male characters for DoA5LR (because very likely they have a possibility to be included just now), but even if this could be the perfect following of the previous three DLC releases I don't think that TN would decide ever to promote a DoA game deciding to add characters but not female ones, one of the reasons of the popolarity of the series.

However if they plan to release an Arcade version of 5LR not too much time after the console release, (and of course with added female characters), maybe the "2 male characters now" could be a more likely scenario.

Seems like new UNLOCKABLE characters. Characters who you had not yet unlocked were hidden in DOA5 Vanilla with the Dead or Alive 5 Icon, whereas with characters you had to purchase you saw the character icon with golden lock in the top left corner. Maybe hint towards new story gameplay? Since we had to UNLOCK characters in DOA5 Vanilla through story.

Even if an unpopular opinion I would like more unlockable characters and new chapters in the game. However at this status of the game, the icons used from TN don't mean necessarily it: they created a version of the game just for the showcasing of the game at TGS (see the modes unavailable with the exception of Fight and Options), so at the same time could have created even a peculiar roster just for this version (while all the roster could be visible since the beginning in the final version of the game).

 

[RoboJoe]

My guess is that one is probably Raidou or a character with his moveset since TN retweeted that post about putting Raidou into LR. My guess is the other is Irene due to popularity. It could also be a brand new chick.

 

[Number 13]

I wouldn't put much stock into what TN chooses to RT as character confirmation indicators considering they RT requests about Asuka being added.

I don't know if Robojoe was talking about this, however Team NINJA has never favourited a request post on facebook for a character, neither the ones of Tengu during the "Project Revival" (even when they knew that another character using the tengu-do would have been made available in the game).

Like I said this couldn't mean anything, or on the opposite to hint something, surely it's suspect that the empty place is just under Phase-4 and Nyotengu, both boss of the game (well Nyotengu almost): for me it could be a place reserved to Raidou or Donovan.

 

[Keylay]

I'm still waiting to hear more info on what's new in DOA5LR. I'm guessing during the stream something new will be shown.

I wouldn't be excited if Raidou was one of the "new" characters. Just because I want a brand new fighting style. Raidou is comprised of mostly other character's moves but they did give him some unique attacks in DOAD. I'd rather have Donovan since we've never seen him before and he's been the main villain for DOA. I'm pretty sure they are going to choose a character that will sell more copies and that will most likely be a female character. But I'm hoping for one male character.

Edit: Cyborg Raidou would be cool though. I'd want him to have a suit like Raiden from Metal Gear Solid and a unique fighting style.

 

[KasumiLover]

A Cyborg Raidou would be cool Keylay! It would be a good way to realistically bring Raidou back!

Some interesting things I noticed for Alpha. First off, her green C1 is darker, sharper and easier on the eyes for not only the opponent, but for the selector as well.

She has a preset or something of the sort to choose from after costume. I don't get it.

This is kind of an assumption because I didn't see a hold animation... it looks like Alpha might have another special wake-up that teleports her behind the opponent similar to how the AI does in DOA4 and in Ultimate. And not just after the wall-crumple.

 

[Leifang2000]

TGS opens up the first couple of days to press I believe. Last day is open to public.

Or I could just be thinking of E3.

DAY 1 & 2 are Business Day,
DAY 3 & 4 are Public Day.

Personally, I don't expect much on the Mad Catz stage, it more likely is to promote Mad Catz products.
Rather more info about the game will be on Koei-Tecmo stage esp. on Sept 21.

That's good! (although I miss trolling people - picking DW) That outfit was an eye-sore!

Point #2: This would be great, but why now? They took it out for the "excessive use" assumption; yet, I can think of another character with such an excessive use gimmick. However, would this stop the current strategy to beat her? Also, the normals do the same which means someone has to be a quicker masher to beat it out. (I tested Kasumi's parry and that can be mashed out as well).

My point is: Why does she need these unique situations when everybody is gonna do their damnest to prevent these unique situations? (ie: Add a WUK, but rarely does it occurs. Same with the sitdown slump after a wall splat!)

How is the "Teleport like AI Alpha" gonna work? If anything, all I saw was Hayate continuing his string as if Alpha hadn't crossed him up. I see alot of that now with her normal shitty holds! (Btw, I didn't see that parry of hers, but are they going to remove the ability to block it - not that it's a big deal)

Having said this, I do see some improvements and things do look good from my pov so far!

 

[deathofaninja]

I can't answer a lot of those questions because I simply don't know at this point. Maybe with more footage.

 

[crapoZK]

Hey lil' Hitomi, lemme 6P in yo chest
Bait the hold and use my Rising Knee.
Everytime I hear "Zack is wack", lemme tell you something...




Wait till you see mah Zack
Wait till you see mah Zack
Wait till you see mah Zack
Wait till you see mah Zack.

(Sorry, felt like i needed to be relevant(

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

I would be happy for Zack if we had Niki. Poor guy needs some comfort.

Just make her Australian or something.

 

[crapoZK]

Haha yeah XD

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

No really. New characters are always related to Helena, the ninjas, MIST or Tina.

Plus all my friends call him gay because of his costumes and attitude, despite me telling them he has a girlfriend (which is nowhere to be found in DOA5, a part from that photo in the chopper).

Poor Zack.

 

[Kronin]

Well the fact that the missing character is under Zack could give an hope for Nikki's presence, but from another side is also true that before than Zack the new character is placed under Phase-4 and so could be related to her (her 'master' Donovan? Irene investigating on her? Someone related with project Epsilon?)

Of course all this reasoning is valid just if the placement of the new characters has a sense for their relationships (thing true for the majority of the roster but anyway not for all).

 

[deathofaninja]

I don't really see the point of making Niki a fighter; she's always been a humorous character that I think should remain as just a part of the story.

No. Just no.

@deathofaninja she's Zack's ex, so why not?

 

[Xion]

I prefer brand new characters to existing characters who just appear somewhere to for no reason suddenly be pro fighters...

NEW CHARACTERS
RAIDOU
PLEASE BE RAIDOU
PLEEEEAAAAASE BE RAIDOU

Hate to rain on your parade but that's actually a CPU Alpha. You can see the select marker on the CSS saying "COM" instead of "P2".
