DOA5LR New Game Mode

While playing yesterday and generally mucking around, I had a thought that maybe the game could use some kind of new game mode. I'm certain not a lot of people who have been playing DOA5 and it's inceptions since the beginning go back and try to beat their best times/score or relive the horrors of Hard or higher Survival mode. So I though why not put some kind of challenge mode into the game. Kind of like MK9 Challenge tower (but not as a tower), where you play as a certain character/s under set rules. Beating each challenge on easy/medium/hard unlocks 1/2/3 stars and these stars could be used to unlock you a new title, piece of music or, and I know I'm clutching at straws with this one, a new colour/hair style for a characters outfit. Some examples of challenges could be as follows:

Sing When Your Winning: Defeat all members of Pop Idol Team A. (Team A members all have separate health bars and can tag freely)

The Pumpkin Queen: Defeat Mila (in her 2014 Halloween pumpkin outfit) on Hunted Lorelei stage whilst avoiding the exploding pumpkins (ones that roll down at the start and stay on the stage).

100 Second Dash: Defeat Bass, Bayman, Leon and Zack (all wearing American Football outfits). Time limit of 100 seconds.

Enter the Orochi Warriors: Defeat Ayane, Kasumi and Momiji (all wearing Warriors Orochi 3 costumes). They can move at double speed.

Ninja This: Defeat Ayane, Kasumi, Hayabusa and Hayate (all in Ninja pack costumes). Ninja's can randomly turn invisible and remain so until hit.

This is Wrestling: Using Tina or Lisa, defeat Bass using only throws. Costumes are wrestling related. Stage is fighting entertainment.

A Practise Round: Using Honoka, inflict 400 points of damage total on Marie Rose in 30 seconds (no health limit)

David vs Goliath: Using Marie Rose, defeat Raidou. Raidou does double damage while Marie Rose has x2 damage reduction.

Hellooooo Nurse: Using any character, defeat 8 nurses (CPU randomly selected from Ayane, Christie, Hitomi, Kasumi, Kokoro, Tina, Mila, Momiji, Lei Fang, Helena, Nyotengu, Phase 4, Marie Rose). Your health restores to max after each character beaten, nurses however can heal small part of their health when using Critical Burst/Power Blow/Power Launcher.

Bed Time: Using Lei Fang, Marie Rose or Hitomi (in bedtime outfits), defeat Elliot (in his bedtime outfit). Your character randomly falls asleep during the match. Stage is Home.

Clipped: As Nyotengu, defeat Hayabusa. Nyotengu has lost her wings and cannot use any moves that utilize them.

I Want Your Skills: As Raidou, defeat 5 random opponents. Raidou starts with a limited moveset, but gains additional moves with each opponent defeated.

Pirates Vs Mummies: Playing as team of Ein, Gen Fu, Brad Wong and Elliot (in Pirate outfits), defeat Hayabusa, Mila and Momiji (in mummy costumes).

Above the Law: Using team of Christie and Bayman, Defeat all 12 police officers (characters from police uniform set). Gun items can be obtained from striking a downed opponent, which can deal double damage for a short period of time.

Virtua Fighter Vs Dead Or Alive: Using team of Jacky, Sarah, Pai and Akira, defeat 4 random DOA characters. VF team cannot use DOA mechanics (power blows/launchers etc)

There are loads of other examples I can think of. Post your own below see what kind of challenges you think would be good.

Bath Time: Fight starts normally. Characters will wear towels. Opponent who get hit by combo and falling into the ground will have a chance of dropping their towel and the opponent will lose. Defeating an opponent quickly and without dropping their towel will give you a chance to lethally unwrap their towel, leaving them extra shame to bear with.

Nah challenge modes are always super tedious.

I think they should take a cue from Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm and expand the story mode to free roam exploration with proper, cinematic boss battles.

LoL..... thats potentially either the best or worst thing that can happen to DoA depending on how its implimented.

Atleast you got ideas. I don't know what to add to DoA..... I suppose some puzzles would be nice.

Well it would be interesting to have an in game Main Character that you can use to roam the land and talk to other characters and build up your Karma to unlock bits and pieces of their history.

LoL.... can you imagine if DoA had MKX style Factions ?

Lets see if we can coin some;

Mugen Tenshin Clan (Obviously) !
The Homeboys (Gen Fu and his Friends)
Assassin's Creed (Bayman, Christie and perhaps some ninjas)
The Show Stoppers (The Wrestlers and Hitomi and Leifang)

And you can come up with the rest ;)

I thought more people would have ideas to add to this, where's your imagination people. Anyway he's some more challenges that could be included:

One Vs All: Using any character, defeat every other character in the game. No health regeneration but power blows/launchers are freely available.

I Need A Drink to Win: As Brad, defeat 5 random opponents. Brad can regain health by performing taunts using the bottle.

Butt Bashing Battle: Playing as Tina or Honoka, defeat the other using only 66P+K move.

Copy Cat: As Honoka, a random fighter will appear and perform 1 move. Copy that move to defeat your opponent, defeating 10 in total. Failing to copy correct move means defeat.

Failing Down: On the Lost World stage, defeat your opponent. You and opponent can only take damage when failing off the stage.

Here Kitty Kitty: On The Tiger Show stage, defeat your opponent. Tigers randomly run across the arena in different directions.

To The Danger Zone: As any opponent, defeat Kasumi on the Danger Zone stage. Kasumi can only be damaged by the Danger Zone floor.

For a competitive game its difficult to have something both unique and perefectly balanced and unexploitable. Atleast thats my excuse. Truth is I have a dull imagination.
