Looks like whoever the two new characters are they won't be shown at this TGS. Can't say I'm too bummed out by that idea.
She is one of the four Greater Fiends of Vazdah, the Archfiend in Ninja Gaiden 2.
I've always liked her, for whatever reason.
Totally not because she's covered in blood and wears a red trenchcoat. Nope. Not at all. Why would you think that? Stop.
You're right...it's all about that spinal cord...
HHHHHNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!1
But seriously, I want Raidou, Irene and Yaiba mainly:
- Raidou I felt basically was more interesting than what we really got.
I mean hell, it's implied that the reason Ayane has purple hair and eyes is because Raidou somehow became a demon(fiend) when he was exiled. If anything, I want more insight on him AND his ability to copy what he sees and perfect it instantly.
- Irene is mainly for completion sake. she appeared in DOAD and before Itagaki left he laid the groundwork that Sonia COULD be Irene to begin with. If anything, I believe it would only make sense to make her more involved(ESPECIALLY since M.I.S.T. is virtually becoming a world-wide threat anyhow).
- Yaiba is also for completion sake and to give Ryu an actual foil. While he is no equal, I really feel that he's better suited to be Ryu's rival than Nyo or anyone else. Hell, I STILL see Yaiba as the only one who can hold off Ryu anymore than Christie, Rig, Donovan or even multiple Phase 4's at once can do.
I'd rather leave Bankotsubo until DOA6 as they will have to either completely retune him or Nyotengu so they won't be moveset clones anymore(or just regulate him as a costume, just like if they do so with Kasumi Alpha Original and Phase 4).
