And I think her black ninja suit is the BEST outfit she has had in the entirety of the series. Sleek, sexy, stylish, and totally makes her look badass. When it was shown for the first time I had to change my pants afterwards.

Same here lol

However, Im looking forward to the next casual pack, hoping that everyone will like the costumes that will be in there.

That latest tweet mentions DOA5UA and added some location test information to the site and there's a tidbit that says (translated using google translate)

"At three stores from the following 12/6 (Friday), in the latest version Implementation of location test of: "Arcade 5 Ultimate DEAD OR ALIVE!" I went to the store, we will experience the latest version! In accordance with the latest version, and update the skill table of Marie-Rose!"

Her movelist was updated with more stuff.

Ayane: Black leather has been her thing since, what DOA2 or 3? Fits her fine.
Kasumi. She wears bright colors and soft outfits. Black leather should be nowhere near her. Its why her black leather outfit in DOA5 looks so dumb.

Actually Ayane has never got a black leather, if something dark outfits (like her DoA3 C1): however the black leather is intended to represent her "serious" shinobi personality and this is exactly the reason because TN decided to modernize Kasumi's vestiary with a similar black one. In the game is well represented the difference between her soft clone (that wear her old standard blue outfit and has the old Kasumi's personality) with the real Kasumi that now appear more determined than never before (and that wear a more serious and dark outfit); even her quotes appear more determined in fighting the opponent and this was a process already started with DoA4.

The appearence of Kasumi in the Ninja Gaiden series (united with her "new" personality) has the purpose to give the message to the players that this is a more serious and deadly Kasumi, but of course this doesn't mean that she lost her nice side: like already done by other fighing series, the characters are not static but change their personalities with the time, not for "mistake" but for a precise choice of the developers (and DoA5 it's a perfect example of it).

Everyone has their own preferences, so it's possible to like or dislike the changes. But IMO is wrong to say in absolute that a character should/shouldn't ever to appear in a way rather than another, overall when the reasons for doing it appear logical. While TN could have exaggerated in giving to Zack a joke aspect (on the opposite for example with Bass, where according to me they balanced better his serious old personality with a new more sympathetic and light one), nowadays the model of the heroine is a woman with good intentions and skilled, but that balance her femininity with a strong side that has nothing to envy to the male counterparts.

Even if far from being a "damsell in distress", the old Kasumi would have appeared "weak" and too much soft given the current canons (it's enough to think to the clone like the main character of the game for realizing it), so no surprise by me for this choice of TN that in my opinion was really smart for renewing the popularity of what is very likely their most famous character.

Also in what circumstances would you be in "a state where you can't tell the difference between brown miso paste and feces".
You wouldn't be in that state. The situation would be. It's like saying something is FUBAR. Or you put so many things into the miso that you have no idea what it is anymore and you might as well be eating...well, you know.

I find it kind of funny that people can't handle the male fanservice. Ein seemed to always be their go-to character for that. I don't see what's changed...

And Zack's face isn't even all that different in terms of structure. It's changed like pretty much everyone else's has...

The Fighter pack was male fanservice. The Halloween costume... I'm not sure what to call it. xD

I can handle it just fine but I WILL make jokes if jokes are to be made. I love Ryu's Legendary Falcon but when Yaiba asked him where his ball gag was I busted out laughing. Now you got Ein who reminds me of a creepy MUGEN character that kept humping everything dam right I'm laugh. Then I'll probably buy it and troll online.

Seriously?

He has a completely different HEAD now, with the only similarities being "Brown and Bald". Seriously, where the hell did those cheekbones and hook nose come from?

Now granted, most of the men got screwed over with the new faces (Leon looking 30 years older out of nowhere, Bayman looking like a different character, but thats mostly just due to him SMILING with chris redfield hair now), but at least most of them (Elliot, Gen Fu, Brad Wong, Hayate, Bass) still RESEMBLE the character.

But with Zack, the issue is that unlike the other characters, its not JUST his face that was changed. He's now a clown with a near constant dipshitty grin, which only emphasizes that he no longer resembles the Zack of previous games.

Though yeah, Bayman got it nearly as bad.

You 're using that bad picture of him . Why TN made him open his mouth for it I'll never know, ruins the whole thing IMO.

This on the other hand....

His old hair was better and the scar is kinda dumb. Otherwise, he's still Bayman. Still a badass lookin' mo-fo.
