I suppose this counts as new info.

https://twitter.com/TeamNINJAStudio

We announce officially that we will have more fighters to #DOA5UA first, then #DOA5U, after Marie Rose & Phase 4, coming next week.

We will make "New Characters" set release with better value price to the #DOA5U, once after all new Fighters joins the roster of #DOA5UA. Unfortunately it will take at least 6 month until such bundle hit the #DOA5U . So anybody who wants to wait, plz wait. Sorry about that.

First we planed all such new characters to join the #DOA5U at once, but we decided to live up to fan's voice who want Fight with them ASAP.

So, six months from now, all the characters that they intend to add will be added, and they will be released as a value pack for anyone that wants to hold off for now...

6 months huh? I guess they still plan to support 5U for a long while then haha I hope nobody wants DOA6 any time soon :p

also a new characters pack in 6 months? I could probably make do with the characters I have until september I'm not really all that interested in most of the chracters shown right now the only thing about Kasumi Alpha is the shozokus from DOA2U.

My best guess is only 2 more characters will be released if they want to keep the new characters arcade exclusive for any length of time.

From what I hear, Yaiba may not end up doing that great. So, that probably means Tengu and Irene. Though I guess a VF character is still a possibility.

...Or will we actually get Ryo Hazuki? lol

Thanks @werewolfgold for adding this info!

First of all I've to say that TN made a typo using an extra comma in the end XD
Comparing it with the translated (from google) Japanese tweet, the correct statement is this:
"We announce officially that we will have more fighters to #DOA5UA first, then #DOA5U, after Marie Rose & Phase 4 coming next week". (Who are coming next week are Marie Rose and Phase 4, not the announcement of the fighters).

Then Team Ninja talked of more fighters after Phase-4 (so at least 2 new ones) and to wait at least six months (so not necessarily six months) before to see this pack on DoA5U.

Even if we don't know exactly how many characters will be added (by the way the possibility is 2 or 3 more) from a such schedule we should logically think that Phase-4 will end to be added on DoA5U console before than 3 months (so with a smaller gap compared to Marie Rose).

About Ryo Hazuki, I think that we can be sure that he will not end to be added in the game: Emperor Cow said like TN state to him that he would end to be too much similar to Akira (already included in the game).

About Tengu, a Japanese fan mentioned him to TN after this Japanese announcement, with TN answering with a "?!"

！？@teruchina: この勢いだとほんと天狗でてきそうだなぁ、、、"

Could you translate to us exactly what this fan said? If it's something like "I think that Tengu will be one of them.." then... maybe... ;)

Please, we don't start again silly argumentations for the presence or less of a character: Irene and Rachel's face have nothing in common (you have to take like reference her Razor's Edge looking and not the old DoA where all the characters were modeled with the same face...) and all the characters can be able or not to fight, cook, laugh, cry, ecc.. if the developers decide so: (and again, the case of a CIA agent seem to me far from being the less logical for an entry in a fighting game...).

... You're kidding, right? Look at Hitomi and tell me she could actually punch you across the room in real life.

Irene Lew is CIA, so she has mandatory combat training. The only ninjas in this series are heroes, so Irene's just as tough as Christie. Christie's an assassin, though, so maybe she just snuck up and took Irene down LIKE A F**KING ASSASSIN.

This isn't Ninja Gaiden, it's Dead or Alive. Different rules.

But overall, really someone that fought against "things" like these ones:

...weren't able to prevent Irene's capture!? (sure, Christie is definitely a skillfull assassim but in the end again... an human). If you think about, while would be possible to find a justification for Irene's capture, there is nothing that can be said for Ryu and Ayane XD

By the way no one stated that Irene is one of the characters, is pretty possible that we will not get her, so...

OK. Mr. know it all :) Her face has nothing in common. Of course they can change her face this is what I don't want to see! They can make her different! In the end she is another blonde.

Just for this reason I said you to use the Razor's Edge reference, now the canonical face of Irene in the new graphics of the series. I recognize that TN made her face really very similar to Rachel's appearence in the beginning (NG2), but also if keeping some similarities (just because they couldn't end to denaturalize too much her original one) nowadays the two designs appear to me really distinct between them. Personally I could never say that they get the same face:

About the blonde matter, I agree that recently TN added many blonde characters in DoA5U, but seems to me reductive to limit the physical characterization of a character just to the hair colors: surely it contribute to the first impact to the eyes, but a face is not done only of... hairs! XD More, remember that 2 charas of this blonde roster are guest stars (Jacky and Sarah)

But of course, I said all this just for showing you my disagreement with your statement about the two being physically the same character or two "blondes": this doesn't mean that you have to like her or to wish for her in the game :)

Ryu wasn't trying to prevent anything, in the scene where she was captured, he was busy training Hayate.

You're right indeed this was a fault of Ayane and not of Ryu; but if you look the scene after, honestly appear anyway silly (and involuntarily humoristic too) to see Ryu chasing Christie that run away with Irene in her arms, then getting also all the time to tie her to a tree.

Just teleport in front of her and... "Zantetsuken!" XD

So for clarity's sake... We're getting new characters (after Marie and PH4SE) that are coming next week?

We are getting new characters, but they are not coming next week. Like I said, very likely TN made a typos with the last comma used that hadn't to be there: ("...after Marie Rose & Phase 4, coming next week").

If it's such a big problem, then guys remember that Irene lives in 21st century. She can just dye her hair like Tina did and eventually dye it blond again when Sarah and Jacky will leave the cast.

I'm not sure why this Irene debate is starting? :confused: @werewolfgold just showed us the tweet that TN already has all of the new characters planned according to their twitter and will be released within the next 6 months. These pages of whether or not she deserves to be in the game won't change the fact that she's in the game if she is. And if a certain winged creature is added (:rolleyes:) we'll just have to accept him as well. ;)
