Apparently it's a thing over in Taiwan! It doesn't look that bad actually... I would definitely give it a try

Pretty sure our Honoka is popular because of all the tits and body fat - which LL's Honoka and the entire DOA cast don't have as much of. Though some people stuck around for the salad moveset too
NiCO is a "cool character with cool-colored hair" trope first and foremost (not the series' first when you think about it), I'm not a huge fan of Rem nor that sloppy hairstyle, but the hair is probably a convenient coincidence as they wanted to show off their punch-head-accessories-off mechanics
I actually like Marie as much as I do Lisa, as they both stand out (if you cropped off the cast's heads I'd have a bad time distinguishing anything other than these), have damn fluid animations and physics, and fun personalities.
The design is very common, but frilly goth girls are often totally 3000 years old [supernatural being]s, so a regular human bean that doesn't go "ara sweaty did you really think i was a little girl" is a bit convention-defying in itself
I think you definitely got consumed by bias, though. Most character designs in this series already play by the textbook. The dark-haired Chinese character is obsessed with martial arts, the character with short hot-colored hair is a tomboy, the traditional Japanese hime cut girl in a Japanese dress combo, the rich ojou is of course blonde and drips with pomposity, the femme fatale assassin, every kunoichi of course has gigantic knockers, the big bad is naked, and so on. I can find the same tropes all over anime, fighters or just fiction in general and the only ones I would probably have trouble with are the La Mariposa persona and Brad Wong
But I'll quote DOAN, tropes and "usual character designs" aren't inherently bad. Lazy on the creator's end, but easy to digest on the consumer's end. The Tekken community still manages to have a shitstorm every time it does something unusual. Too tried and true is anime, too special snowflake is apparently ALSO anime. Make up your minds, otherwise this will just be another catch all term for [thing I don't like].
But visual design is ultimately superficial. In this genre if a character is above spouting things like prepare yourself, I'm ready, I'll do my best, that's my [fighting style], nothing personnel kid, they're already a step ahead on the inspiration ladder. I swear to god at least half of the rosters of every fighting game does this regardless of what they look like
If I have to fight you - I will, I fight to protect [something worth protecting], Why must we fight?, Don't get in my way, and of course the typical psychotic character trope that screams about killing or die die die.

girl, this gave us no information at all. is it a demo. is it a beta. is it locked behind preorder. is it free to the public. how long does it last. i need answers.
The Bayman tweet gave us no game info at all either regarding the demo, neither did the Phase and Nyo character cards xD
they're just teasing the demo at this point basically, I'm sure by 8pm(I'll be on break at work around that time) or sometime tomrorow they'll just full on say the info, I think they just teasing at this point. Plus at least we get a new story mode scene teaser xD I think that's that one hidden garden stage but it's set at night so maybe the weather will change? I hope it isn't story exclusive
It also says "Grab a friend" so I hope that means it'll have offline and online play as well because how are you supposed to grab a friend who's probably across the border? XD
News time! I asked Master if the night version of Hidden garden will be unlockable/available, but I couldn't get yes or maybe out of him. His response was: "I knew that was going to be a question, but unfortunately I can't say."

Girl not to be me but I’m all in for stages with alternate versions, whether is time of day or weather (imagine a stage with rain where it actually interacts with the wetness of a character omfg).
I want night and rain with lower visibility and lightning strikes that light up the fight once in a while with a higher audio mix on the wet footsteps and the rain and mud on clothing/skin.

Muddy textures would be amazing, but let’s be real here even if you could get into mud the dirty texture would always be sand
So...I asked Master some Helena questions (@KwonJigglypuff ):
Me: "A lot of us Helena fans wanted her classic bowtie would be accessible for years now. Would it be possible to include it in DOA Central's customization mode?"
Master: "I'll see about the bow. I had heard about that earlier."
Me: "Another question. Is it possible for Mr. Saito (TN designer) to include the jacket/robe from her DOA4 promo poster and ending?"
Master: "Interesting...I'll ask him." (Keep in mind, clipping problems may be the reason why it was never added to her classic C1)
Me: "One more Helena question for the day. This one is a personal request."
Master: "Oh god! *laughs*
Me: "Her and strings. Helena needs to end her combos w/ style."
MASTER: "That ain't happening lol"
I tried lma0

Now I kind of doubt that the night-time stage Kasumi was shown in was Aerial Gardens...

Thanks for all these requests @Project Bokuho, very nice to share that! Too bad about the last question, these moves are very cool. What is the reasoning behind it? Too cheap to use them?
Oh and the small gif of Ryu and Hayate is hyping me so much.
