*Looks at half of the shit the characters can do*
*Looks at the Ninjas*
I honestly don't think it's that implausible for them to be that strong, especially since DOA in the past games would sometimes show off just how insane they can be.
Besides, Dead Fantasy would be best for everyone:
1. To show who is the ultimate ninja between Edge vs. Shadow with Interceptor vs. Ryu Hayabusa
2. Having a manliness contest between Jann Lee, Snow Villiers and Rig
3. SO. MUCH. FANSERVICE!
Just because it's elegant and refined doesn't mean it's not brutal...
I honestly don't get why you are so bent on having a "tough brutal female" when we do have plenty already.
Hell, Ayane has been a BRUTAL BITCH SINCE SHE WAS A CHILD and on a calibur only dwarfed by Ryu when she was FOURTEEN, how is that not brutal enough for you?
