Capcom is not DOA close competition, it is Namco.Of all the things the game will have less credibility for, paid dlc chars is not one of them, considering capcom does it as well.
I understood, by the way you said that TTT2 was the example to follow when actually NAMCO didn't make anything really different.
We should open a thread to discuss this. Matt already stated this is not the place for it and he's right. I have a few things to say regarding the matter.
Yesssssss Phase-4 mainnnnn haha.... I'm already calling Marie Rose my main .... and we don't even have her yet. I'm one of "those" people. Too excited =3
Anyone can have a main character, and there are options to choose characters that aren't even in DOA5, and options to include the alt-personalities of the character (Bass/Mr.Strong, Lisa/La Mariposa).
Either way, any player can have a "main" character whether the character is banned or not. It's letting the community know who you feel is your best character, whether you paid for that character or not.
Banning a character is a different topic altogether, and in my opinion a ban should only happen if a character literally breaks the system and makes it non-competitive.
A DLC character, in my opinion, does not qualify for a ban as long as any player can get access to the character. So "Download Exclusives" like Don Pierre in SC5 deserved an initial ban because only a limited number of players could obtain the character. However, once he was allowed to be purchased by the masses, he was no longer banned for being a DLC.
There's also the example of SFxT where the characters were on the disc, but you had to pay to unlock them. They were also not banned.
DOA5U will be having an update that will put Marie Rose on your systems harddrive so that you can play against other people who have the character, obtain match-up experience from her as much as you wish, and be given the option to purchase the ability to play as her. Just like the rest of the cast with the Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate: Core Fighters, a title that I believe has more downloads than DOA5U retail has purchases.
So, even though, again, this discussion doesn't have any relation to the original topic, I do not feel that DLC characters should be banned for the sole fact that they are DLC.
Well Wah, you just evaded my point.
My complaint is you early added Marie and P-4 to the list, and it means FSD acepted (without showing any complain) TN decision of selling this despited they said the oppsite in the past. Such actions of TN potentially and negatively affect TN's word reputation and thus DOA's one, which also affects competitive community. Why FSD should accept it so early and easily?
Moreover, FSD is one of the more important voices (if not the most) of the competity community. So, despite you are the owner of FSD, everything which FSD manifest is easily taken as the community voice. So your decision was arbitrary.
@Mr. Wah, you are some kind of leader for this community, and as such, every action you make could be really meaningful. This one was. Sometimes like this it would be very proper to ask community first. Just waiting a few, until TN give an answer to competitive community had been enough for the community, instead of being so accomodating.
We cannot command TN how to manage it bussines, but sometimes -like this- is very healthy for community that TN speak to us about reasons for actions of their that could make members dissapointed and worse: ignored. As far I as know TN has not yet explained that action, and it is the minimun thing I would expect from TN. To be closer to us, show us some care.
you need to relax... like it's just not that serious, Mr. Wah obviously knows that people are excited about these two characters so whats wrong with adding to a website that we talk about the game on? SOME people plan on maining at least 1 of these characters and would just like their "profile" to look like that and I'm sure thats all. All that talk about to effecting competitive play and blah blah no has no relevance in my opinion, its like a title on DOA you put it up to show people or just to be a cute word play, that's all this is too.Well Wah, you just evaded my point.

Even if he was we are not starting this over again. Everyone has said their piece on it 50 times over. The arguments have been made, and that's the end of it.Umm it seems nobody understood what Tulkas meant. Too bad because hes quite right there.
