After a long hiatus, I'm ready to talk more about my favorite costumes.
JANN LEE - C6
For all of 5, I pretty much used his C3 or C4, but I was disappointed by his lack of something... classy. Boy, did I get what I wanted here. It looks like something JL would wear to his gig as a bouncer, and if you team him up with Bass in his C6, you get a whole 'mob lord + enforcer' thing going. Also, sunglasses.
KASUMI - C3
I can't say anything about this outfit that hasn't been said already. This was my only used outfit for her in 5, simply because it screams Ninja Gaiden. It's sleek, sexy, heroic and makes Kasumi look like she's going to break you. Given her past status as a technical pacifist, this is pretty much her new 'game face'. I fear for what she'll do to Donovan when she gets her hands on him.
KOKORO - C3
I really like the casual clothing in DOA5/5U, and this stands above the rest. It exudes a sexy cuteness that fits Kokoro like a glove, it actually looks semi-practical for a sparring session, and it's red! Personally, I add the glasses and ponytail for maximum cute.
... Okay, I admit it! I mostly just like it because it puts her in spats! What can I say? Spats are hot.
LISA - C5
Depending on my mood, I'll either use a Lisa or La Mariposa costume, but I tend to default to this one. She's dressed for success, has some sweet sunglasses, and doesn't have that furry coat I just do not like.
LEIFANG - C8
This has been one of Leifang's iconic dresses since DOA2, and she's never looked better in it until now. This dress drips with sex appeal, yet ends up looking extremely badass in the middle of a fight. I tend to add the glasses and let her hair down.
No, seriously, why
hasn't Jann Lee taken her to his room yet?
LEON - C1
This outfit is everything Leon is: gritty, well-weathered, and badass. When someone says you're about to fight The Strongest Man In The World,
this is what haunts your nightmares. Leon is one well-dressed mercenary.
MILA - C2
Funny how the Wiki actually puts her with glasses, too. This outfit solidifies Mila's new position as DOA's resident tomboy. It's got that tough look that shows she's capable of throwing you to the ground and bashing your head into the pavement, but it also doesn't detract from her feminine traits at all.
MOMIJI - C3
Much like Kasumi's, this is just too good to not use. I could just cut and paste what I Iike about this from Kasumi's part, but I'll spare you a repeat performance, and just say Momiji wears hers better. Regardless, a great costume for my main, although I wish Momiji had a hair-down option.
PAI - C4
Speaking earlier of outfits dripping with sex appeal... Pai looks amazing in this outfit, especially with her new alternate hairstyle. I'm mostly at a loss for words... except that it showcases her legs nicely, and it's red. In case it isn't obvious, I like red.
RACHEL - C7
I can only really use this costume if I'm trying to play Rachel seriously, just because it's the least 'fetish-wear'-y of her costumes, and it still qualifies as such. Ah, well. At least I can put glasses are her.
Also, the coat goes nowhere. Lab coats are f**king awesome.
