I know. That's why I had quotation marks around the word "surprise". TN said they wanted to show more surprise characters post-launch. It wouldn't really be a surprise though, because we've known the full roster for awhile now.
I hope so too, but since she's the only character left, her "reveal" will likely be held back until after release as the "surprise" they mentioned.
Same here. Lei will be the head honcho of my pack followed by Pai, Mila, & Zack.Pai and Lei Fang might be my two mains...
What if the surprise they mention is Ein, Tengu, and Leon and all you need is a saved Dead or Alive 4 file in your hard drive to unlock them. Remember they did say they were going to leave characters unannounced that are from DOA and Virtua Fighter and that Ryo from Shenmue could be another Cameo. They already announced all of the characters and Alpha 152 is last considering she's the end boss or at least one of them. However, the other DOA characters could be Alpha 152 and Donovan, but who could be the other Virtua Fighter characters...Hmmm Vanessa, Jacky, or Lion? Edit: there suppose to be more character announcements after the game's release:What if the surprise they mentioned is the character from Shenmue they hinted at?
Now that all the Characters are reveal. I have to try my best to survive for 2 weeks of waiting.
There's a little more to look forward too, we still haven't seen gameplay of Pai and Gen Fu. Not to mention Alpha, seriously doubting she's the "surprise" waiting for us post-launch. And if she is then that's just stupid.Now that all the Characters are reveal. I have to try my best to survive for 2 weeks of waiting.
There should be a launch trailer. And the post launch character will be Alpha, there's just no one else. Just because us eagle eyed and leak seekers know she's playable doesnt matter to their PR department.
...But the achievement list was posted, clearly stating "Unlock Alpha-152". You wouldn't have to be "eagle-eyed" to be able to spot that. Anyone that was following DOA5 would be able to tell you that wasn't a "secret" unlike Pai who you wouldn't have known about unless you paid attention to the info at the end of one of the newest DOA5 vids or you had spotted the leak ages ago.There should be a launch trailer.

I agree, that would be stupid for Alpha 152 to be the secret or the characters announced after the game's release. I'm guessing and this is obvious- gameplay of Pai, Gen Fu, and more of Mila this week along with another new level ( I think there's two more we haven't seen in gameplay- Depth was Aquarium I think so it's Laboratory and Temple). An updated website this week. Then they reveal the boss next week and reveal Alpha 152 along with another story trailer for Tokyo Game show....But the achievement list was posted, clearly stating "Unlock Alpha-152".

Not saying Alpha being the post-launch character isn't completely plausible, but it doesn't make it any less stupid. I'm keeping an... open mind.
