Water off a duck's back.
Anyway I honestly think next week will be the week they finally reveal the next dlc character.

Doubtful. Next week's promotion will most likely be focused on the new "Angel" DLC mentioned on their JP twitter.

Maybe if a trailer is released for the angel dlc at the very end for like 5 seconds it could show a close up of the next character.

Semptember 3rd is Nyotengu, unless you mean. like a brand new reveal beyond her.
I doubt it. But then again, I doubt there will be another character at all. So... yeah.

I'm holding off until I see the next arcade version. If no new character is added with 1.09 I'll take what TN said from the stream seriously.Just tell us the truth TN... :/
Imho, Nyotengu should be the last character for DOA5U. New characters should be saved for DOA6 at this point. 32 playable characters is plenty for a fighting game, and even after the VF guest characters leave, that still leaves about 28 DOA characters for DOA6 + any new characters Team Ninja decides to introduce in the next installment. I understand that it takes time to develop new characters, but I really hate that we have new characters and know little about them, aside from minor character relationships (Marie Rose being the servent/maid of Helena, Phase-4 is another Kasumi clone created by Donovan that left Bayman scared on his face, and Nyotengu is out for revenge against Hayabusa for killing Bankotsubo).

Its a shame the dlc characters didn't come with a story chapter to flesh them out even a little bit.
Imagine how much it would cost to add additional story chapters for story mode. IIRC, isn't Story Mode for Core Fighters like $15?
All of them?

Something just doesn't add up though for several reasons and I'm not buying that they never had a 4th character in development:
1) They had an estimated time range for when the character DLC bundle was coming out: There was at least a concept of a fourth character if they were even considering adding him/her in a bundle with the rest.
2) They continued to answer tweets after this statement confirming that there were 2 characters after P4 (which for those of you not aware, TN doesn't answer every question given to them they're actually very selective).
3) The end of DLC characters will be the end of the arcade and TN knows this. There will really be no incentive to play once Nyo comes out. To end abruptly at 9 months instead of going a full year seems odd.
So I'm sorry I don't believe them when they say "Oh yeah maybe we'll start making a character from VF or DW or maybe none at all".

This is the most compelling point, imo.
I'm still not convinced that they're making another character, but this is the strongest argument for it.
"Because they said they would" is a much weaker argument, for obvious reasons.
no it wont, the incentive to play in an arcade is no lag+ atmosphere not for a temporary exclusive

I disagree. Otherwise they would've just released each new character to arcades and consoles at the same time.
and used that time to test the characters out before tweaking them and releasing them world wide. i dont think they would put this much effort on an arcade version that wouldn't even last a year.
Agreed. We have more than enough for one game.
