The DOA5U "Casual" thread. ^__^

[Momiji-Baybee]

we're probably going to ng4 and if there is another game it will probably be doax3
you all know my stance of who needs to be in that game by now i hope

Mila, Marie Rose, and Phase 4?

 

[nothingtosee]

DOA6 is too soon. I can see one or two new characters though (Tengu and a male full of testosterone).

Yeah now that they fill the loli void with Marie Rose why dont fill the bara void that doa has with a new male character

 

[Yurlungur]

Mila, Marie Rose, and Phase 4?

GEN FU FLYING OFF THE SLIDE.

 

[Rachel the fiend Slayer]

Let's not even talk about DOAX3 since the haters would just bash it and BOOM!!!! 10 pages of flame war

I wonder what FGs will be there, I have a good feeling MK10 will be shown and maybe Tekken x Street Fighter (and hopefully Bloody Roar 5). I'd say Soul Calibur 6 but the game was put on hold due to the developers deciding on Ivy's breast size

 

[Cake]

Wait, Bloody Roar is still alive? :F

 

[Momiji-Baybee]

I hope that the next male character is a teenager like Eliot and is like Shingo from King Of Fighters or any of the Persona 4 guys

Wait, Bloody Roar is still alive? :F

Lol not exactly, but Konami bought the rights to the franchise and Sony talked about bringing a sequal to the PS4

 

[DrinkTheGenra]

I hope there are no entirely brand new characters. Just bring back the missing characters and take some of the NPCs (from both DoA and NG, basically people who are part of the universe and who's story we already know) and promote them to playable.

Save the entirely new characters for DoA6 where you can actually give them a story so that you don't have people making up stuff like they are for Marie Rose.

Granted, I'm not completely opposed to entirely new characters, but it's not my preference.

Especially since they talked about the character bundle being in September or so, which doesn't leave a lot of time for new characters, so we may not be getting that many and I want to make sure the existing characters get in.

 

[Momiji-Baybee]

I hope your right fiend slayer about MK10, I really want to see the sexy edenian villianess (Tanya) return. Hopefully she doesn't get the lighter skin tone in the sequal treatment that damn there every black female characters in FGs get.

 

[synce]

I would like a new TN FG, I think an anime/anime-ish fighting game would be best.

Or maybe they could even do a spinoff of DOA and try putting the characters in a 2d universe making the platform and graphics 2d. Or maybe they could even make a DOA game where the characters are kids or gender swapped.

About the kid thing, maybe you saw this?

It's like VF Kids but they're actually kids

I actually thought of the idea from VF kids, But I think those would be great designs for the DOA characters if they tried it out

The only characters from VF kids that seemed convincing were Pai and Lion. Majority of the cast had muscles, were older then they looked, had malw characters with facial hair, ans I think Sarah had tiny breast. Of anything it was VF dwarfs/midgets

I'm actually glad TN is taking the time to create brand new characters for DOA5U. Granted, Phase-4 is a Kasumi clone; but, there are differences in fighting styles, her default stance, costumes, and intro/victory poses. Quite frankly, TN should keep on making brand new characters.

Tengu may come back but idk about the others

Nicole was a halo character (right?) that was added in as an xbox exclusive and gave her fighting style to Rachel

Raidou and Genra are'nt requested as much as Tengu

And Shiden........ No, he was just Hayate 2and had the personality of a rock. But still may notcome back due to lack of request

 

[DrinkTheGenra]

DoA5 has already added Mila, Rig, and Marie Rose as brand new characters (not counting Phase-4 since she's basically Kasumi-Alpha with some added flair). Then they also brought over Momiji and Rachel from NG.

Plus technically the four VF characters, but they're guests.

That's plenty of new characters for one sequel. Especially when further additions will barely receive any story or background information.

This game is supposed to be the "Ultimate" so it should make sure all the old playstyles are covered, first and foremost. After that, they can bring in new ones (though I'd still prefer they promote NPCs instead of creating new ones entirely so at least we'll have some idea who they are).

 

[UpSideDownGRUNT]

Shiden was basically Hayate but with his DOA3 movelist which is now pointless since Hayate has most of his DOA3 moves back now in 5U, plus Hayate has Shiden's robes.

 

[Momiji-Baybee]

DOA2 Ultimate had only the DOA2 cast, Bayman, and Hitomi so the name Ultimate doesn't mean much

 

[Jyakotu]

There's still a whole world of fighting styles that TN has yet to tackle, hence, why bringing brand new characters in the fold would allow them to do so.

 

[Rawbietussin]

Yeah now that they fill the loli void with Marie Rose why dont fill the bara void that doa has with a new male character

Aren't the guys already fulfilling the bara void by default with their physique? Or do you mean that you want to take it a step forward? I mean, they're all muscular to begin with, even Eliot who used to have a scrawny body is becoming muscular.

 

[DrinkTheGenra]

On the grand scheme of things, as long as a character plays differently (even if there moveset is a variant of someone else's like with Bayman/Leon) they added roughly the same amount of new gameplay to the game so it doesn't matter if you call their fighting style Hapkido or Krav Maga or what. Especially when some styles aren't really presented like their real world counterpart anyways (ie. Systema). Theoretically, Jo Hayabusa could show up with the same style as Ryu and yet not share a single move with him.

So I fail to see how there being more fighting styles existing in the real world being a reason that they should focus on creating entirely new characters instead of using the cast they've got.

Furthermore, given the limited time window until September, if they were to build a new moveset from scratch it would take more of their time meaning we get less characters overall. I'd prefer more characters using old movesets (ie. Tengu) or variants of existing movesets (ie. Hayate > Shiden, Ein > Hitomi's Dad, etc.) with maybe only one more entirely new moveset (for an NPC promoted to playable, like Irene).

Save the enitrely new characters for DoA6, let's get everyone's character in DoA5 before it's over.

Besides, it's all going to start over again with DoA6 when they cut Leon/Ein/Tengu/whoever again and people have to beg to get them added back again, so it'd be nice to have a version that at least has all the current playstyles for the time being.

And Shiden........ No, he was just Hayate 2and had the personality of a rock. But still may notcome back due to lack of request

Nicole, again, could easily be reinvented as not a Spartan to bring her back with a new moveset, Leon style. rest I don't care about,they were all bland.

 

[Momiji-Baybee]

Yeah brand new characters add more excitment
