Thoughts on the new hairstyles?

[Rawbietussin]

Ayane:
• Short Ponytail - Looks nice.
• Short Pigtails - Looks dumb. Doesn't even fit with most of her clothes.

Brad:
• Loose Hair - Nice to see it back.

Hitomi:
• Short Bob - Reminds me of Velma Dinkley from Scooby-Doo for some reason lol.

Kasumi:
• Side Ponytail - Looks okay I suppose.

Kokoro:
• Bun - Only fits her kimono costumes.

Mila:
• Barettes: Not really that fond of it.

Tina:
• Pigtails - Same reason as Ayane's pigtails.

Is there a pic of Kokoro's? I didn't see it.

 

[Intelligent Alpha]

Huh? I said that you were calling TN's decision to give her a school uniform an attack on her uniqueness.

Here.


And I maintain that that is an overreaction. If she has 5 more loan outfits from Kasumi hidden away, then we'll talk.I agree that the novelty would be lost at that point. But, just from seeing this one outfit? Laugh and move on.

And I said, I am! I can't do anything, but laugh! It's bad how long she has been a character, but you just now do something! That hypothermia joke I've repeatedly made - that's probably what she died from! Look, NRS (Midway, could take Noob Saibot who was nothing but oil ... he doesn't look silly, no, but if he had, you can tell they put some serious effort behind fixing him up. He can be played as the oil version in MK9 (and played against to unlock it), but they took time! They didn't just slap on Scorpion/Subzero's loin cloth on him! That is my point! It didn't take them nine almost ten years to do this!

That's what's insulting to me! Now, if there are more (and I hope they don't slap Kasumi's outfit's on her), I hope she has accessories! It's a damn shame, she gets less costumes than the guys (no one seemed to notice and yet, they're shafted compared to the girls ). Here's the other thing, since they're DLC happy, being that Alpha got none, you see where I am going, so I won't go there!

Overreacting? No, I don't think so. I can't help it if folks were like 'Alpha's getting a costume!" Of course, I would think this would be something big when all she is or has been only a chameleon (sp?). Again, eight possibilities at least and regardless of how many hidden ones, it still doesn't equate to the asinine amount of combinations and permutations the remaining cast has/will get! (And I don't know what'll be worse, if they'll be DLC or she'll again have no DLC - though everyone knows my feeling on that in general)

Everyone was drawing out the ass, but I saw nothing for Alpha! I decided I wasn't going to attempt. Yet, even in words, I wouldn't have said: "Take something from Kasumi!" Hairstyles? She didn't get this either! Why? I have no clue! again, I don't wanna see more "We'll just throw shit in there!" (Ironically, with the DLC or this LR update ...)

I'm laughing, really I am!

Oh, wait! She did! Now, I'm not laughing anymore! What happened?

 

[Martin]

They really should just give Tina a brunette hair option, it'd make so much sense. I'd also like more bows for Helena, or at least ones that match with her outfits. Even just options for Black and White ones would do.

Does anyone have a Kokoro bun pic?

 

[TRI Mike]

I haven't seen any of them except Tina's, where are you guys getting them from¿

 

[d3v]

Kasumi:
• Side Ponytail - Looks okay I suppose.

Bible Black?

 

[Chapstick]

I can't wait to use Kasumi's new low ponytail! The high ponytail is good and all, but the low pony makes me think of her looking more like her old DOA1 self.

Low ponytail?

Is there a pic of Kokoro's? I didn't see it.

It's not a bun, it's a really thin and short ponytail. Kind of like a reverse Kasumi where her ponytail is twice as long as her down hair, Kokoro's down hair is twice as long as her ponytail.

 

[Jyakotu]

Brad Wong has loose hair again, which is awesome! Now what would make it even better is if he got his C1 from DOA4 in a Legacy Costume DLC for Last Round. That's actually my favorite look from Brad in the series. He looks so modern and stylish.

 

[Squizzo]

I really think Phase 4 should have dark hair to make her look at least a little different from Kasumi and give her a darker vibe. Too many times have I thought I was fighting Kasumi, till she starts teleporting all over the place.

I honestly like that idea. But the easiest way to identify Phase 4 is by looking at the name under the life bar. That, and the fact that her intros and victory poses are completely different, as is her character theme and battle stance.

not to mention the taunt lines. (The combat sounds are just Kasumi's while pitch-shifted) TBF, that is a legit reason to be confused! I would be just as confused if I switched over to Kasumi or Phase 4 thinking they're Alpha. It's more common than you may think! (Speaking of which the same actress voices all three. I was surprised to see she voices Mila as well)

Alpha has a voice actress? Talk about awkwardness in the booth when making all the moans. Lol

Wait! All of them did that! The one chosen had more for the Kasumi trio (and Mila though not mentioned from where I quoted; someone had said for the Japanese voice - the actress didn't want a credit. Of course, things may have changed) But yes. Alpha gets way too many S&M jokes:

As Bayman grabs and breaks her arm: "Do you like pain?" I'll stop!! XD

Btw, Tina & Momiji also share the same actress - Kate Higgins

Per Tropes and Idioms - Lauren Landa:

• Dead or Alive 5 as Kasumi and Alpha-152 (Both cases replacing Kari Wahlgren)
  • She reprises Kasumi in the DLC Missions of Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge
  • Phase-4 in Dead Or Alive 5 Ultimate: Arcade Edition

I just hate that Phase 4 and Kasumi have the exact same personality, like they should've made Phase 4 an aggressive evil bitch, would be so much better...

But then it'd just be Ayane in a brown wig lol

Wait! Alpha's nothing but aggression though look at her "new costume"! And how could Phase 4 be Ayane? And no, singing "You Spin Me Round" doesn't qualify - in case o missed it, Phase 4 fails in the spinning department! Miserably!! XD

Actually, I believe Phase 4 is based off of Kasumi's 17 year old self. Appearance wise. Even her hair is lighter, I think. So, if they were to do this, they'd have to scratch the idea of P4 being Kasumi's younger self.

Ayane:
• Short Ponytail - Looks nice.
• Short Pigtails - Looks dumb. Doesn't even fit with most of her clothes.

Brad:
• Loose Hair - Nice to see it back.

Hitomi:
• Short Bob - Reminds me of Velma Dinkley from Scooby-Doo for some reason lol.

Kasumi:
• Side Ponytail - Looks okay I suppose.

Kokoro:
• Bun - Only fits her kimono costumes.

Mila:
• Barettes: Not really that fond of it.

Tina:
• Pigtails - Same reason as Ayane's pigtails.

Gah can't get over how random the choices for Tina Ayane, and Mila are.

Its like giving Jann Lee cornrows, Bayman an emo style, Leon a surfer style, and Eliot a war hawk. Sure they could rock it but why the fuck would you give them that?!

Nah, Ayane isn't evil though, I mean, really truly evil, not talking about some sibling rivalry bs...

She's a massive cunt to everyone in the cast so I count it lol.
