They're also announcing an official tournament that will run alongside the locations tests on PS3.

As much as i love kage, my vf main, i honestly want Tengu.
I can assure u there wont be more vf characters. When u look at the copyrights.. only the present vf cast and the title virtua fighter have been licensed. So the new character is definitely not from vf .

Honestly I think that Yaiba would be a nice addition, but I exclude that the new character will be a guest star. The most logical choice is really Tengu (almost paradoxical considering that we are talking of a boss and a not female fighter as new character for a DoA Game XD).

I've said this before; If it's not Tengu they made a terrible move. Fans have been asking for Tengu for a year now. The fact that they put Ein in Ultimate but not Tengu makes it even worse.

Oh wow completely forgot about Yaiba.
I don't know...the timing is a little bit too convenient with announcing a single new fighter for the DoA 5U arcade release, the recent promotions from TN for the Yaiba game happening, and his whole relationship with Hayabusa . I wouldn't have any idea how he would fight in hand-to-hand combat though (Cyborg Ninja stuff?), but if anything I like how he is as a character since he is such a sharp contrast to the calm and collected Hayabusa.
The dude casually drinks before a fight, gave Hayabusa a run for his money briefly, and laughs amusingly knowing his death was near. Probably more personality then over half the current DoA cast.
That said, I personally wouldn't want him being the mysterious character because game has enough ninja characters as is and there are other DoA characters that have yet return for DoA 5 notably Tengu.

TNs recent results of new characters have been kinda... half assed. I don't see them making a new move set just to promote Yaiba. I wouldn't exactly complain he's looking give plenty interesting, but after the long wait and the "don't give a dam bout Tengu" thing I think the Tengu fans deserve it.
Yeah, I'm expecting Yaiba. Oh, well.

Ungh... don't even think about the possibility, you'll give them ideas! ><
Frankly despite me saying that we have too many characters already (makes it harder for them to keep them all updated, different and balanced the more there are) I'll go against what I always said and say that we need 2 more characters.
Yes I'm OCD and I want the character selection screen to be a full rectangle without no blank spaces!
Raidou and Tengu would be perfect :'(
All Raidou does is copy/paste other peoples moves don't we have enough of that already? might as well use that end game alpha.

Raidou had moves of his own! And moves copied from characters that they don't have anymore (i.e. these characters used to have those moves but not anymore).
They were all blended together into a single character to create something peculiar and unique.
Plus he's a badass rapist, what more could you be asking for in a BEU full with boobs, asses and sweaty ladies?
Need more testosterone! Some alpha male! Some masculinity! Bring on the Raidou! ^______^
I'm kidding of course, but I really like the concept of characters like Dural/Raidou/Necrid.
They take some moves from some characters, blend them together into new combos, chains, juggles and overall create a new style that while taken a bit from here, a bit from there and a bit new, feels very fresh and unique.
Some moves would also have very different properties despite the same looks.
It's not the same as Bayman<>Leon or Ein<>Hitomi.
It's a completely different thing, I really like that style

My mom was a victim of rape so forgive me for not being exactly "thrilled " at the idea of including him in the roster. Seriously TN is already pretty infamous about its sex now you want to bring back a known rapists yeah that will fucking look good.

Exactly.
But my real reason "against" (or "in favor" for someone else if you want, like Tengu or a newcomer) is that his gameplay/individuality isn't so unique.
If Raidou comes back with a new gameplay and a real individuality that can prevent him from being cut in the next game, why not. But I'm not sure he has so many fans anyway.
Tengu too. Let's be honest, he has a very small amount of real fans, but at least he has an unique moveset and a big potential to eternally become Rachel's rival. I know story isn't important, but yes it is in this case, it gives some context to his arrival.

Wasn't Raidou's moveset highly revamped during DoA Dimensions into something very unique?
That's quite a dire situation, it must have been hard for your mom, I'm sure having the love of her family helped her recover from such an awful act.
Sometimes people isolate themselves so much and end up being alone, and that makes it only worse to get past the event.
I knew something about that on myself, sadly, but let's cut that I don't want to talk about myself.
I apologize if I seemed untactful handling such a delicate matter and I absolutely had no intention to ridiculize what your mother and other people had to go through.
But at the same time you have to understand this is not some educational documentary or a complex symposium about the aftereffect of raping.
It's just a videogame, you have to discern fiction from reality and tell them apart.
Otherwise it would be the same as all those bigots who say people shouldn't be playing GTA5 because it makes them violent and take up guns and commit atrocities into schools killing their own schoolmates etc.
You get the rest.
This is just a videogame and it's meant to entertain people.
DoA in particular is a fighting game and as such it doesn't really put emphasis on the plot like maybe another game genre would be.
If anything the rape that Raidou did is only a narrative instrument used to fuel the characters' (and the players') rage unto him for the atrocity he perpetrated on the poor defenseless Ayame.
I don't think the game takes the act of raping lightly or promotes it in anyway.
It doesn't seem to me reason good enough to demand a character not to be present into a roster. It's just a fictional fighting game after all, not reality, and it doesn't have the pretention of educating anyone about anything, especially about rape.
Aww

I'm very sorry to hear that. Several women I know have also been victims of rape and sexual assault and it's a terrible and abhorrent thing to happen to anyone. But, that's not exactly a reason to include a fictional character in a roster or not. For example, Bayman and Christie are murderers. I certainly don't condone murder (and I would hope you don't, either), but that doesn't mean that Bayman and Christie should be excluded from the roster.
Regardless, I just don't want it to be anyone who isn'tTengu, because I want it to be Tengu.
So...what were the locations that TN announced for testing DOA5UAC?
Tengu and Raidou ...
I want Raidou because we really don't have a character that is TRULY EVIL ..
like evil n rotten to the core...
Rig is bass' friend in a way .. Christie likes to give little boys milk .. and Alpha has personality issues
we need Evil ... someone u can look at n say .. I hate that guy ...
Raidou fits that description ...
Tengu is evil and all but ... he dances n has wings .. hes evil .. but funny evil .. and I sure as hell want him too.
Plus no character can beat that epic Raidou mustache!
so in a way he fits a certain ... character type, personality wise at least, that isn't currently present in the game.
Plus he was the DOA1 boss .. and that game holds a special place in my heart...
Thats why I welcome them both.
