I would be down for playable Donovan with Genra moves.
Most wanted character in (potential) DOA5U?

Yes, seriously, I want some damn fireballs or lightning or something. If you take the boobs out of DOA you're left with a lot of boring characters, like VF-level boring. And I love VF but the characters are shit and that's why it sells like shit. There's no one like Yoshimitsu or Nightmare or M. Bison. So add more interesting guy characters and movelists. Tengu and Genra are the only ones I'd even consider playing in DOA5U
Bison sucks. So do fireballs and lightning.
DOA has a very cool roster that relies on awesome-looking physical attacks, strikes, throws and grapples. I don't want that polluted by any of that SF/SC bullshit like lightning and flashing strobe dildos.

VF characters aren't boring at all. If you don't like how they look like there's a customization mode where everyone has tons of items to change their appearance. It's been present since VF4 and who knows if before. 3D fighters don't need fireballs. It's a terrible idea and anyone who thinks about it should feel bad.

See, apparently fireballs are bad but power blows and DOA's stun system are okay 
You're focusing on the wrong thing anyway, I'm just saying DOA's guy characters are boring and someone like Genra would be a great way to mix things up. And not just because of the movelist but his design and backstory.
There's nothing interesting about someone like Rig or Brad Wong or any other DOA guy, whereas in Tekken you got zombies, robots, angels, etc. In SF you got green beasts, stretchy dudes, crazy moves. SC has weapons, Voldo, Nightmare, etc. DOA is just one notch above VF's generic roster, only because of the boobs. I think if the series had crazier characters it would be at a lot more tourneys no matter how broken the stun system is.

I actually enjoy playing the male characters more actually, leave that to your own opinion. In my opinion the game has enough females, and if this was a real tournament it would definitely be more male characters lol, you'll see only very few girls competing, and those girls would not be the most attractive either. A bunch of hot girls fighting in a tournament is not realistic.See, apparently fireballs are bad but power blows and DOA's stun system are okay

A rather subtle, somewhat odd jiggle that has existed since VF4... but a jiggle nonetheless.
As for crazy characters, Synce, it would be crazy if for the sake of bringing back old relics of Tecmo, they throw in Rygar, Suezo, and Bo Jackson for shits and giggles. I mean seriously... a dude with a shield chain, a monster that's mostly a big eye, and a broken-ass football player from Tecmo Super Bowl mixing it up with the likes of the DOA cast? That's genius. And they don't even need to go through hoops with other companies, to boot! =P
Agreed. If you want fireballs, lightning, and the like, you can always go play Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. DOA is interesting in it's own way for being a fighting game with a bigger emphasis on fighting.
No. That's fine because it doesn't effect gameplay.
Agreed. I actually find DOA's roster to be the most interesting one because of the fact that it's all realistic characters using real fighting styles, aside from the ninjas and bosses.
Of course, my main character somewhat contradicts that, but still.

Forlorn you hypocrite backstabber! I expected a fellow Tengu player to understand
And hey TN can keep going in this realistic direction but just look at the facts. DOA's core mechanics are a joke, and VF has arguably the best fighting engine, yet both series are relatively unpopular despite being around since the 90s. Meanwhile that SFxT nonsense will be at Evo this year

I'm the backstabber? Why doesn't "Main Character: Tengu" appear under your username anymore? Fuck that lame ninja bitch and come back to the light.
I don't like the projectiles in DOA. The game just doesn't work well with them. I don't even like Tengu's tornado thing. Mostly because it sucks, though.
im not against the super natural im against projectile attacks,if you want to have the character pick someone up and fry them with a bolt of lighting be my guest otherwise no.

Raidou says hello
If he shows up in DOA5 I'm might say hi back otherwise he's just this creepy motherfucker standing on my porch knocking.

But what is the problem? It's enough bring back these characters without projectiles (exactly like done for Hayabusa in DoA5) and off course with the some right changes for balancing them. From the videos that I've seen, nor Raidou, neither Genra were character based just on the use of projectiles (the players that spammed these are another thing).
