It really is a sign that this game is so different from previous DOAs...

I mean..I NEVER saw anyone using Helena or Tina in the older games. Now, that's mostly what I see.

Same goes for Christie and Kokoro, though to a lesser extent.

Helena was pretty common in DOA4. Of course you had to go through shit to unlock her.

It means more characters are being selected. Which is a good thing. No character is too common from what I've seen.

Well like...14 ranked matches in a row, right now, all different people, all Helenas. (All doing the same patterns, ODDLY ENOUGH...)

Also, in previous DOAs, I saw Kasumi a lot...here, i've seen her a total of like...3 times.

I mained Tina in 4 and used to play with a lot of other people who did too. Guess you just never got an invite to our Tina party.

There are plenty of DOA5 Kasumis and there were plenty of DOA4 Tinas & Helenas.

Kokoro jumped up a mile in terms of tier placement, which explains the discrepancy in her popularity.

Actually Kokoro was good in DOA4 as well. She is pretty much the same in 5 except she has a new stance.

Yeah Lisa players were pretty non existent in DOA4. Her small move list really hurt her with a lack of mix ups. She is much much better in 5. Only a very few people including me used her.

Well.. Eliot was non-existent on 4, and he's still non-existent here. Guess some things don't change.
