Ooh, ooh, I have an art degree like Tyaren. Can I join in?
There are a lot of variables to account for like Enforcer said. And I think the well has been poisoned in terms of recognizing the SF characters just by their color scheme. For one thing, it's been decades of having those designs shoved in our faces. For another thing, we're all FG players. Show that to my older brother and he probably would get...maybe Ryu and Chun-li. And that's pushing it.
There are indeed guidelines you can try to follow that will help make your character memorable, e.g. unique silhouette. But, even those rules can't really ever account for taste. And then after that unique =/= appealing. And sometimes a design can be overdone and would be best kept simple. I'm not a huuuuge fan of Laura's design, but I think that it kind of works in that there's not a whole lot of extraneous nonsense going on. It's pretty straight-forward, kind of like Elena's design. The hair is indeed memorable (at least among fg characters) and helps with the silhouette. And sometimes that's all you really need. A small hook. And that simplicity, combined with being spammed like the other SF2 characters are, would probably lead to her being memorable.
I personally wouldn't have gone with Brazilian flag colors. That's a little too much of a low ball. But they are certainly loud enough to stick out in a crowd. And I think the only real parallel we have is maybe she's a mish-mash of Eddy and Christie. If that's where the list ends, that's not super terrible. As opposed to, say, Honoka and Marie, where we're kind of drowning in parallels and comparisons.
If I were designing her, I would've at least tried to deviate from the straight two-tone color. Maybe have a little more patterned or textured yellow designs on the green. But, I don't think I'd do too much to the outfit itself.

And this is why, as a holder of BA in art and is currently a professional, I don't join art forums. LOL
Well, according to this thread there's apparently no need to study art/design... Programmers, like Enforcer, can do it just as well and know just as much.
Do you mind, if I carry my response over into the graphics and art style-thread, Argentus?

Don't be salty that all our degrees are useless. Just slap a school uniform on a curvy girl and just watch all the money fall into your lap. lolWell, according to this thread there's apparently no need to study art/design... Programmers, like Enforcer, can do it just as well and know just as much.

Trolling with Miss Monday
Miss Monday: Are you still moping about your dead girlfriend?
Leon: The love that Lauren and I shared was something more than the lust that you exhibit with various men.
Miss Monday: Just when I was about to ride your cock like a GSX 1000.
Leon: Fuck off.
Miss Monday: I found out who killed your girlfriend. I sent him a thank you card
Leon: *bitch slaps and Desert Falcons Miss Monday into some church pews*
Wash your ass, then come back after you've prayed to Jesus!

This article is quite old (2 Aug.) but it says that new character will have a hair color that didn't exist before in DOA.
http://artmic.com/doa/doa5-last-round-update-announcements/
"he/she has a hair color different from existing characters"
Has this been confirmed in the stream or is it a misinformation ?
It though the only clue we had was "never done before".

I heard of someone talking about that before but because they couldn't give a source I assumed it was just someone getting mixed up with Honoka's old hint, probably still is.
At the time time Mr.Wah asked they didn't seem to be set on anyone so whether or not a specific hair color was new or not seemed unlikely.
That second new stage I thought was deconfirmed to be a mistranslation or misunderstanding from what I was told.
Either way "never been done before" and "no plans to add to DOAX" are still our best hints.

She's McDonald's level of obese the female version of Bob Richards (from Tekken), but with blue hair.

I voted new male. Its hard to say but that seems more likely. They filled their fanservice quota (and quite nicely) with Honoka, got a lolita and a new possible boss character with Raidou. I think now we're just going to get a casual male. Zack ultra serious cousin or something.

TN/DoA and "filled their fanservice quota" shouldn't exist in the same sentence. If that was the case the existing hundreds of fanservice outfits where it still shows signs of no slowing down and the last three pandering female fighters wouldn't exist. Not even gonna touch stuff like DoAX, destructible outfits, etc
When was the last new female one that wasn't relatively pandering for the most part besides a woe is me Kasumi clone and NG immigrants? Mila? That be great if that wasn't years ago at vanilla debut and if a bunch of people actually cares about her [In Japan] which polls have said otherwise. Raidou had the advantage of being relatively cheap to fill Western appeal quota and packaged with Honoka to pick up sales slack.
If it was another two grouped characters then I can see one of them being male. Whether man or woman it would have to be someone that can make decent sales though since this is packaged as paid dlc. A male can sell, but track record says they don't go for it. Would be interesting to see how that plays out though. I want to say male [putting aside my rational thinking for personal want] because of the 'no plans for DoAX3 bit' but that isn't a guarantee because not even all the existing DoA females are in that game let alone this new one. Also 'no plans' can later be rectified to 'plans' at any given moment.

Team Ninja confirmed to me by mail that the "new hair color" was indeed a lie/mistake.
Anyway. Let's expect the unexpected. "Never seen before..." hmmmm :
Honoka's grandmother ? (Granny)
Marie-Rose furry cat ? (Animal)
Miyako ? (MILF)
I need some clues Team Ninja. Come on.
