And will the US get the idols costumes as pre order bonuses as well?

There is no reason not to include them in the US pre order. Besides practically every game has some sort of pre order bonus so I'm sure we will get them in the DOA5U pre order as well.

If not, this will be my reaction

Speaking for myself, my emotional attachment to playing the character I like is always refreshing with each new costume, especially when the ones I really like are available or announced to become available. That may sound weird to some people, but screw them. New, exciting costume keeps me goin'.





Alternate costumes always add to replay value.

Speaking hitboxes, I do hope they fix a few wonky ones 5 has. There are times there's a good foot or two between the attacking fist/knee/foot/head/shoulder/etc and any part of the other character model yet the strike still hits. I notice it a lot with Gen Fu and occasionally Mila and plenty of other characters but idk maybe I'm the only one that's having trouble with it. :oops:


I have this issue constantly. But the exact opposite, where my characters limbs will be flat sticking out the other side of my opponent's body, but completely whiffing. No contact, not connecting, just my limbs passing through them as if they were a ghost.

That's why I hate the "learn hitboxes" argument. Why can't I just learn to hit the OPPONENT and have that actually work?

The game not being at EVO should be an indicative that something went wrong gameplay-wise.


While i'm actually in agreement with the rest of your post, I do feel the need to point out that Evo includes things like Smash Bros and Marvel vs Capcom, which are nothing BUT wrong gameplay wise due to being party fighters. So choices for evo seem to be based almost entirely on popularity, not so much on actual gameplay.

That is true

EVO 2013 had a vote on facebook asking people what games they wanted to see there and whatever the top (I think 10) games with the most votes would make it to EVO which got games like Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Persona 4 Arena and more in due to fans support. And that's why it is important that people get interested in DOA5U and show more support for it. That's what got the games I mentioned at EVO and that's what got games like Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo and Skullgirls as runner ups. So hopefully when they do it again for EVO 2014 there will be enough DOA5U supporters so that it will actually have a chance in being in.

I totally forgot about Skullgirls. Downloaded the demo once, never bothered to buy it because the demo included the only character I cared about, then totally forgot about it.

Lol thanks I hope your right :)

Your welcome, I hope so to

I'm guessing it was Cerebella?

You should get the full game, the story is great and although I thought the demo was bleh I liked the full game, it actually plays differently. Also there will be free dlc characters, stages, ect.

I'd be more impressed with your guess if it wasn't a 50/50 chance lol.

Yup... this either means a delayed release fr the Xbox fans or Xbox gets fucked once again (likely the latter) it really seems M$ are being stupid or Hayashi really doesn't like Xbox too much, good job after 5U I'll be getting future DoA and NG games on the PS4

Not really surprising since the costumes were a playstation vita exclusive from the beginning, but Tecmo promised they would be available for DOA5U on all consoles, whether it's DLC or unlockable isn't made clear. anyways, I don't think anyone has a problem with xbox in this situation.

It shouldn't bug me but for some reason it does. It just feels like those on xbox keep getting shafted, and it's not all Team Ninja's fault.

The game not being at evo doesn't really have to do with this. Evo is pretty much all 2d fighters besides tekken. Soul calibur won't be there this year, neither will VF.

Soulcalibur will have a side tournament at EVO. But that is true.
