EDIT: If that was a jab at TN, I give you a thumbs up, sir.

It was a jab at the past few pages. It seems to have cooled down though so I won't add more fuel to it.

 

[Shiranui]

If you cut Nyo's hair, and paint her eyes and her hair in purple you will have a pretty similar face to Ayane's.
This debate is heading nowhere.

 

[synce]

Her style is boxing obviously

Credit to 2ch ;p

Nice! I think we all collectively should take a break for at least 8 hours. It's almost 3am here and I need to sleep. When I log back in on FSD I don't want to look at a shitstorm of MR and Honoka being compared. Or worse. Every female in DOA being compared to each other. Or worst case scenario every DOA female being compared to TEKKEN female characters. I can already see it. It isn't pleasant.

That is so hilarious how identical she is to that anime character also named Honoka people have brought up

Spoiler: LIKE COME ON

Honestly this isn't fair, the facial structure is different. The real "problem" is the hairstyle.

This is actually Kasumi wearing Marie-Rose hairstyle in pink.
While people can easily distinguish Marie-Rose from Kasumi in the actual game, in this picture it looks like she's a mix of the three characters.

I very nearly barfed thank you

Something else that will help people to tell them apart are the facial expressions, the voice intonation, the eyes, the attitude in motion etc.

Literally TN can just say it's Honoka from Love Life and it will be true.

You do have a point there. I initially thought, this was Marie Rose.

 

[Number 13]

Glad to see I wasn't the only one that initially got the Love Live similarity from aesthetic to actual name lol

She isn't actually a niche character either considering Love Live franchise currently still is highly popular in Japan with Honoka being the main central character so doubt this was pure coincidence.

 

[UpSideDownGRUNT]

Maybe her big secret is she's a trap and she has the biggest bulge of the entire cast xD

 

[Chapstick]

I can just imagine them right now if they saw this brought up in a room like

"*looks at Honoka from Love Life*
*looks at their new character*
*looks at Honoka from Love Life*
*looks at their new character*

Well shit"

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

Yeah maybe she's a boxer, but...

I have a question but I'm not sure and it might sound stupid. Isn't her stance (where she puts her two hands in front of her) something Korean teens use when they say "fighting" ?

 

[Russian-chiropractic19]

Before I was too rushed to talk, then I was too cafinated to talk now I'm done crashing so let's fucking talk

She's already better than lucky Chloe and MR I can tell from her stance, because she's actually a serious fighter. that wide stance looks like she is bracing herself to launch strong attacks also her leading hand is closed in a first so she's going to be punching most likley

The fact she has a tag with Genra's torn sky blast should imply her strength is about equal to that well, at least gameplay wise so that should be interesting I wonder what Attack she is using that is comparable.

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

I like her already. It might sound a bit early, but welcome to the DOA family!

Curious to see her hair option(s) if she has any, because I don't like the default one. I'm a bit sick of ponytails.

No.

 

[Project Bokuho]

I also wonder what her fighting style will be...

If she pushes Ayane down to the 4th most popular character I'm going to destroy her and everyone that voted for her bye

It's a Japanese popularity poll. You'd be surprised what happens (especially if Kasumi isn't number one)

 

[Xhominid The Demon Within]

Well, I knew it.
Tons of bitching from a couple of people before we even see gameplay footage to truly make judgement on...
At the moment it is STILL better than what the fuck happened with Lucky Chloe(who I STILL can't wrap my brain over the hatred, like seriously, it went BEYOND Decapre levels...motherfucking Decapre had less hate than her).

As for me, I don't really hate the design and Honoka and MR don't look exactly the same but they do have minute features that look the same.
Otherwise, I'm gonna wait until the 15th for my true judgement.
