Perfect time to jump in with some Leon info. Just got this in the mail today. Anyone read hiragana? I took a semester of Japanese long ago & can't decipher this. Maybe it's the same form letter from the previous contest?

I received the art book. Looks cool- need time to go through it. 2 "training badges". I wonder how many they have if a Tina Halloween DLC outfit is one of them? LeiFang's one of my mains & fav. girls, so that was a nice bit of randomness.
And a Kokoro mousepad that I'm not sure should even exist. I don't usually complain about a gift but... I'd rather just have a PSN card for some DLC costumes. Now we just wait & see if Strongest Man in the Galaxy turns up soon.

I would've said universe, but Paul Phoenix claimed that a while back. :) Ironically, I think Busa is a bit stronger. ;)

I want to know, what it says. >__<' It might give us a clue, if and when we will see these costumes...

Oh, that was your's @indieanimator? :D I thought, you shared the pics and letter from some of the Japanese winners. Congratulations from me as well. Good job! :)
Why did they write to you in Japanese though? The winners of the last contest all got English letters...

Thanks. Yeah, the emails mentioning I won & was getting a prize were in English.
Oh, someone on GameFAQs gave me a rough translation:

Congrats on getting a 300pt and above entry in the contest.
Thanks to users around world the game is sellling like hotcakes. Due to that the team can continue to work on contents for the game.
Let's continue to make the game better/successful.

I guess some of you are familiar w/the art book. It has bios on some of the cast w/CG art, stage design info & shots & some costume design stuff. Text in English. And Autographs from some of the crew. I should scan & post that unless it was already done by someone from the last contest.

The Nyotengu part is a little random and funny. XD
So this time they didn't mention the possibility of the costumes becoming DLC, interesting...

Yes, some of us showed their art book and autographes in here, but I wouldn't mind seeing yours as well! :)

OK, cool. I scanned just a few of my favorite things so I don't overdo it. Maybe my choices will differ from the previous ones people posted. Since it isn't for sale and I didn't see any warnings, this should be OK. In my thank-you email, I'm going to ask if any winners will be used for this Halloween as DLC.

A little idea to avoid cheating for future costume contests on Dead or Alive Game Facebook page:

"-About future costume contests-
Team Ninja, if you plan to do an other costume contest for DOA5LR or even for future DOA games, could you include a unique code in each game package (and give a code when people purchase the game in digital version)?
This way, for future contests, you just have to ask voters those unique numbers for each vote and you'll be sure this is the DOA community that votes. Moreover, using this method, you would avoid all kind of cheating, like it was the case before."

Same idea on twitter:

What do you think about it?

It's a bad idea for TN in terms of marketing. Why ?
Because people sharing and voting on Facebook/Twitter (even those who don't have the game) was a good way to promote the game.

Yes I know that, but it's Team Ninja's problem :) mine, is to find a way (or at least, try to start thinking of a fair way) to give the community and the costumes' designers the success they deserve.
Any other idea would be interesting anyway!

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a lot of the community costumes pop up in Last Round; or at least a lot of inspiration. @Max536Drago got his Hitomi pajamas in the game, so I wouldn't count out other winning designs.

Sorry, but that wasn't Max's design, it was a recolor of this pajama, that was released as DLC for Koei Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors before the first costume contest had even ended:

A few months later:

A Tecmo Koei employee clarified, that the costumes shown in the DOA5LR trailer were the very first costumes from the costume contest. If TN would take any costume from the contest, they would make it public and with a little fanfare, to honor the participants' efforts. They wouldn't just sneakily take a costume without telling anybody...

My big question is which costumes? Because congrats yadda yadda yadda to whoever's makes it into the game but I feel like a lot of them still didn't fit the characters they were put on, so I wanna know WHICH outfits make it in game

Of course knowing the standard, probably will get more hooker outfits for half of them.

I am actually afraid of the costume choice, if there really will be new Halloween DLC. If they release the costumes that won...then sorry, I won't buy any of those. X__X Well, at least the male costumes should be decent enough...
