I don't hate anyone in the cast. I can beat the entire cast. I just don't want Tengu anywhere near this game. He'll ruin the dynamic TN is going for.
Define this "dynamic".

'Cause if the subject of ruination is just unusual characters being out-of-place, the "dynamic" has already been "ruined" with the addition of a half-fiend who uses her fists like she's swinging an imaginary axe, sounds like a middle-aged Sailor Mars, and for God-only-knows-what-reason, is still shorter than Christie.

The "dynamic" would already be "ruined" because we actually have a kunoichi who uses Aikido mixed with Hayabusa-style nonsense ninjutsu, uses her hands like she's wielding a scythe, sounds exactly like Sailor Saturn, and has "Lili Syndrome", or a character model that's incorrectly taller than most of the damn cast despite her actual height.

The "dynamic" would already be "ruined" because we have an 18-year-old that has a flat chest and looks 6 years younger than her actual age... and by far, most people seem to be accepting them just fine. That said, I highly doubt ol' Bankhead will be a problem.

It's obvious that TN is going for a more realistic approach this time around. Why else would they change the models to look less anime and more realistic? Tengu doesn't fit in with the new direction TN is going in with the series. Let Tengu rest in peace. He's no longer needed.

Sorry just wondering, is that a Senran Kagura character on your avatar? Yomi right?
Yes, it is. Her Shinovi Versus appearance, specifically.
...a character model that's incorrectly taller than most of the damn cast despite her actual height.
Sorry if I'm being nitpicky, but that's actually just because she stands straighter than the majority of the cast.

TN is trying to hard to cater to US fans with all this realism and sci-fi crap, I miss the Japanese culture and folklore.
Having a Tengu back in the game would be amazing.
Where is the sci-fi? Alpha-152? The Depth and Lab stages? HA! Hardly sci-fi if you ask me. There is still plenty of Japanese culture and folklore in DOA5U. Hell, there's a scene where Kasumi is in a hidden village and she has a Japanese inspired outfit(s).

Because TN was in dire need to change up models they've been using since 2004, especially after a long hiatus and uncertainties for making another DOA sequel with Itagaki's departure. Nowadays, you can only take the same ol' 3D character models so far.

To further back this argument, you're pretty familiar with Tekken and how often they change up their models, correct? The series is about as unrealistic as it gets, and look at how realistic their character models have gotten with each sequel. Sure, it isn't known for its fluidity like DOA is, but nonetheless, Tekken never went for the anime-style look.

Tengu doesn't fit in with the new direction TN is going in with the series. Let Tengu rest in peace. He's no longer needed.
Maybe not... but even if we don't get Bankotsubo back, there's always the chance an offspring could carry on the grudge against Hayabusa. Which, BTW, would make an interesting tie-in to Ninja Gaiden 4.

Stop that.
I got a better idea.

Let's get a Voice History option for certain characters. Since Sakura Tange was the original voice for Kasumi and came back in Dimensions specifically for Kasumi Alpha (who would later become Alpha-152), this seems more reasonable. Besides, I miss Piccolo.

I hope that soon we'll get a DOA game that isn't DOA6 or another DOA5 reboot, I think they should just make an uncanon DOA game that is mainly focused on just being a really great game

I love DOA5/DOA5U but I felt the series has lost the spark it used to have in the past and is to deep in the "realism" aspect. I mean just look at the stages, only a few are fantastic and a couple are alright. DOA4 wasn't the best DOA game in the series to me but I felt stage wise it was the most interesting and had alot of personality. Also maybe it's just me but I felt the game has also gotten slower Gameplay wise.

So I think we need a DOA game that

1.Fix the way it plays (sorry I'm a casual player so idk what needs to change Gameplay wise so just fill in on that if you can please)

2.Make fun interesting and out of control stages that the game used to have. The stages are to normal and we need exciting and visually appealing ones that are like Gamblers Paradise and even unrealistic ones like the jurassic park one.

3.All the characters from the whole series with some newbies

4.Little to no dlc whatsoever

5.Lots of costumes with little to no recolors, or even a customization mode. But not the ones that we have tekken and vf, clothing customization like the def jam series would be cool

6.Return the story mode like the past DOA games, but since this would be an uncanon game just do unstory related interesting endings like TTT2 has

7.Maybe just a little less fanservice? I don't hate it, shoot I really love it but if this is really what is making people turned off by it then.... I guess it could be toned down a bit. TN did originally want the game to be non sexualized at first so maybe they can dry doing that. Sexy costumes shouldn't go away but other features like the booby physics/options shouldn't be a main focus for them when it comes to the ladies. Clothing wise there is nothing wrong

8.A new mode like a scenario mode or mini games would be cool too

And more

Well .. we do still technically have 2 empty slots ... So if theres any chance of tengu's triumphant return .. it would probably be with a female character ... mainly for the sales ..

I'm just trying to be realistic cuz female characters generate more money ... and I wouldn't be surprised if thats the path they take.

Yeah I do feel they tried to make this game to western like, I like the feel the old games had. The only thing I like from the change is the characters models, graphics, and new features like power blows and cliffhangers. The characters looks are also really nice as well

But yeah this game is to normal, that's why I hope TN pipes down or even stop with that and make the next game just as exciting as it used to be and don't change the characters so much. I mean Helena doesn't have her different colored huge bows, Zack doesn't have different hair colors and really crazy designs, Kokoro is to ditzy, Bass isn't as roudy, La Mariposa has pretty much been ignored instead of having a balance with Lisa, ect.

Alot of the stages pretty much have the same theme instead of original ones like DOA4 did And the others. There also isn't rememberable music either. :(

Thanks to DOA5U, you can switch to Character Themes and even mix and match DOA2 and DOA3 themes.
