I think the new defaults are all pretty good.
I felt like Kasumi's outfit came off as more of a statement than a reflective part of her character... I'm trying really hard not to bring up the clothing stuff, but it was brought up in the gamescom interview and I think Team NINJA has done their part in delivering everyone the message that they are toning it down, but couldn't they have done it without putting Kasumi in a wetsuit with hardly any color? It's kind of a bland answer to the players that asked for more color.
Zack replicating Conor McGregor is so sad to me. Where is the fun Zack with the bra and the fucking green mohawk that made him stick out. And just for fun -- don't take this the wrong way it's just been bugging me. For years I have seen Hayate as an absolute joke with a few cute moments of shooting things with arrows, giving Raidou the Torn Sky Blast, his amnesia stint... He is no Hayabusa and Team NINJA knows it so what do they do to change my mind? They give him an assassin's creed hood.
I've got problems with Diego too... his shirt screams lack of creativity. GOT GUTS? Paying tribute to the got milk ads? Holy shit. That is disgusting to me. I don't even know how to be nice about that one other than saying the game is 15% done.
With Leifang... beautiful. Helena... beautiful. I noticed the animation on her face change before anyone else and it really popped out to me. I would have liked to have seen Rig with a new starter outfit, but I can't complain when I compare it to Hayate or Zack's defaults.
So for me since the latest reveal:
AWESOME - Leifang, Helena, Rig, Hayabusa
MEH - Diego (great intense moves solid look and banging body, but horrible tacked on story and shirt to initially show him off), Jann Lee, Hitomi
CRINGE Designs - Kasumi, Zack, Hayate
DOA6 will be an awesome game, but I have a few problems with it as someone that hates generic things. Thankfully they are small enough gripes... I'm impressed with the system they have in store for us and I can't wait to see what kind of ground game they give us.
