Now now, it's not the end of the world guys. Without low tier characters, how will we ever be able to embarrass someone to death?
I made my name by repping low tier. So did Chosen1. It can be done.... it's just incredibly difficult.
True. DOA4 Tengu main here. Still, I'd rather all of the characters actually be viable in competitive play. I'm losing my favorite character (Tengu) and was hoping that my second favorite (Helena) would be a viable replacement, but it doesn't look likely. Brad is another character I wanted to try this time around, but apparently he's looking bad too.
There are still other characters I'm interested in that are looking decent, but the main two that I was hoping for were Helena and Brad, and apparently they'll be unusable by the looks of things.
I'm diggin' the new stage

And judging from the music I'm guessing that might be the new boss stage where you fight Alpha-152 again, it's her theme after all.
That's a pretty good guess. My money's on that too. And the stage does look really cool.
On another note Helena's outfit looks gorgeous the way it flows around like that as she moves. Her hair is definitely shorter too. Lisa's new black outfit looks sexy as hell.
