I have a feeling that they won't cut out many characters from doa5 to doa6(virtua characters might get cut I guess). The character models still look a lot similar to doa5 ones (which already looked great to begin with).
They also mentioned this:

However they mentioned the same thing somewhat back on DOA5's release so it's too early to judge the pre-build or vanilla upcoming. TN will give in.
Phase 4 actually used a katana and not a kodachi in her trailer. That’s Kasumi in the gameplay, Phase 4 doesn’t have Sakura petals when she fights.Anyone else think that's Phase 4? I don't think it is, but I get a P4 feeling based on her outfit. It's weird though. It has the aesthetics of what P4 would wear but it also has the Mugen Tenshin symbol on the back.
Oh shit. I just watched the trailer again. So she has the Mugen Tenshin symbol AND her trademark kodachi (sword) on her back. But I guess P4 also had a kodachi back when she was cutting Bayman's boys down in DOA5LR. Her outfit resembles her Ninja Gaiden: Razor's Edge outfit, but without her blue color cape.
But the reason why I don't think she's Kasumi is because she's not wearing any kind of blue color:

Her blue color (such as her default DOA1 (PS version) ~ DOA5 kunoichi princess outfit above) is part of her character because that specific blue color symbolizes she is a princess of the Mugen Tenshin clan (only members of the royal family can wear that color). This was actually emphasized in both Hayate's and Kasumi's DLC in DOA5LR:

Maybe it's just my screen but the new Kasumi looks like she's wearing a teal color. I'll watch it on another screen later.
The Break Gauge – the first super meter ever for the series – gets charged with every attack landed or taken, and by blocking. Once it is full, players can perform either the Break Blow, which is a flashy and highly destructive special attack, or the Break Hold, a useful counter attack that deals low damage but works against high, low and mid attacks.
It has to be because Kasumi has no reason to be sad anymore. I think they'll be wearing the same thing tbh or maybe they did it for the trailer but this is something Phase 4 would do more or so than Kasumi as of DOA5LR
I sure as hell didn't. Literal mash-to-win is a very stupid mechanic.Wait, people didn't like the stagger system?
Phase 4 actually used a katana and not a kodachi in her trailer. That’s Kasumi in the gameplay, Phase 4 doesn’t have Sakura petals when she fights.
Btw, what is up with these super meters and fatal rush? That is so not DOA it reminds me more of a 2D game than of DOA.
Time to pester TN about adding Genra/His style back. Awesome news.
They won't be coming back. It's time for a new cast.
Also they mentioned that on launch the game's default roster will be pure DOA cast until DLC content or next build.
