Sounds about right.I just heard through one of my press contacts that apparently Team NINJA requested no high level players be present for this build of the game.
First reports out of the san fran event coming out of the gaming blogs:

Nothing about DOA5 is mentioned. The ninja chain on Hayashi - Swoozie's work?
Basically although of course only 4 characters are playable so can't be 100% sure.But yes, it seems there is an advanced hold, which is being called "expert hold" and looks like a standard move for all characters now available against the mid punch and mid kick respectively.
So when you setup the new power move you control somewhat the direction you strike them into.this sets up the special dangerzone interactions. Then you get a little multiple choice mini game kind of like what happened in Mortal Kombat vs. DC.

I'm seeing the old 'expert hold' but now for everybody.
Looks like a sidestep evasion is in for everyone. We'll have to see how effective it is.
4 playable characters, Hayabusa, Hayate and now Ayane and Hitomi!
Yes, I think the girls look hot, and they sweat and get dirty!
So the new power move all the characters have looks like it will be key to the "fighting entertainment' that DoA5 would bring.
It creates some fun moves and interacts with the new danger zones. I'm curious as to how effective lt will be landed, but its exciting.

The controls, feel and play style feels very familiar, very much like DoA so that's a good thing in my book.
If you're good at DoA you'll be good right away. I didn't have a problem winning matches before I started just experimenting with another press guy.

Mutilple choice like Mk Vs. DC?! what. the. fuck. that game didn't do well, why are they taking something from it and working with it?
This is why they didn't want better players to play it now.

Everyone has normal holds, and advanced holds.
This sounds good so far.
