The DOA5U "Casual" thread. ^__^

[Momiji-Baybee]

If DOA had an new akido user, I'd prefer it to be male since Momiji is the akijutsu female, plus it be nice to have more calm male character in DOA (assuming he would be)

But if there is one thing this game truly needs that I hope is added in the future is........ A KOREAN FEMALE CHARACTER!!!!

Saw this design made by Kwonjigglypuff on DOAW. Her name is Ji Yeon

I agree, a Korean female is something this game needs. I would love if she looked like that and had that simular fighting style.

I have no clue where this obsession with Koreans and Krav Maga has come from.

 

[Rawbietussin]

Asian novellas (mostly portrayed by either Taiwanese, Japanese or Koreans) are still a hit in my country even though I'm not into those sappy stuff.

Personally, I think the roster has enough Asians with just Chinese and Japanese alone.

I just hope she (or perhaps he) doesn't get the same archetype almost all Koreancharacters get which is the Taekwondo student/master. But with Rig being the Taekwondo fighter, I feel we'll most likely get a Korean female (or male) who doesn't use it

I have no clue where this obsession with Koreans and Krav Maga has come from.

Because koreans are cool and krav maga is cool

I honestly remember back before DOA5 vanilla released when many hoped that there would be a new female korean character in DOA, we even thought when looking at the leaked list that Mila was a korean name and that we'd finally get one. Some were even dissapointed when Rig was revealed to be a Taekwondo character thinking it would kill the chances of the Korean female we all wanted.

It may also be because some of us love Kpop and want a Korean female who looks just like a Kpop female idol.

As for Krav Maga, I think people want that fighting style because it would fit a agent like character (or Irene). It's also a fighting style I don't think was ever in any FG which could be another reason. I thinkit is a really cool fighting style.

I wouldn't really hope for more Chinese/Japanese characters, but I will totally welcome another asian character (mainly Korean) since outside China and Japan there aren't any other types of Asians you'd usually see in Fighting games (or video games as a whole)

Korean are lack of Kongfu styles.

How could it be that easy to add a new one.

 

[DestructionBomb]

Looool!

It doesn't necissarily mean they have to have a Korean character with a fighting style from Korea. Not all characters have fighting styles from their country.

 

[Russian-chiropractic19]

I just find it ridiculous to worry about ethnicity so much when the only thing to identify them is either a note in the description saying they are and/or fake accent that seems to offend everyone that's actually from there.

 

[DestructionBomb]

What about a Korean Gen Fu?

Wait.........

 

[Rachel the fiend Slayer]

It's not "ridiculous" to want a character to have a certain ethnicity. It's cool to know that a game adds more varieties to it.

 

[AsheMann21]

Wait.........

Why not? We need more pimps anyway

I swear this is the first thing to come up if you type in Gen Fu

 

[Russian-chiropractic19]

You mean like the Arabic Italian, American Spaniard, Chinese Brit, German Japanese and the rigged Candian? ethnicity means nothing

 

[Rachel the fiend Slayer]

Wait.........

No thanks lol, I honestly want a younger more modern Korean in DOA

 

[Yurlungur]

I kinda don't want a korean because they're going to automatically be given tae kwon do as a martial art and we already have rig (i'm also going to loosely say sarah)

examples: Kim from kof, juri from street fighter, hwaorang and baek from tekken use tae kwon do style kicks and there are many others i can't think of right now

 

[Rachel the fiend Slayer]

So what? Just because those characters are like that doesn't mean we can't have a Korean character from Korea (south korea to be more exact). Just because you don't care for ethnicity doesn't mean everyone else has to.

Again just because a character is Korean doesn't mean they have to use TDK. Hapikido is a Korean martial art, or they can use something not from Korea like Krav Maga or something

 

[Rawbietussin]

Seong Mi-na, Hwang Seong-Gyeong, Yun-seong, Juri Han, Kim Kaphwan and his sons (Kim Jae Hoon and Kim Dong Hwan) + KOF's Team Korea, Baek and Hwoarang are all from Korea.

I don't mind adding one for DOA but overall, Koreans in fighting games isn't rare and lacking as people think they are. At most, they're probably the 3rd popular Asians to get represented in fighting games.

I honestly do feel like fighters are sterotypical to their country and we do see that in doa, wow japanese people know ninjustsu and the american's know wrestling and mma?

I mean the only people who breaks the sterotypes of this rule helena, rig, eliot and lisa (i'm kinda iffy about putting zack and hitomi because those are well studied martial arts around the world lol)

But that only adds up to 14 characters (16 if you add Kim Wu from Killer Instinct and Lee Won Hee from Xuan Dou Zhi Wang). Compare that to the hundreds possibly thousands of Chinese, Japanese, American, English/British, ect characters in Fighting games/video games.

Are Korean characters rare, maybe not compared to.some other nationalities. But they are FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR from overdone or usual.
