Do you want to see more diversity in DoA's character designs?

[human013]

Add a demon or mythical themed character. Or a cyborg like Raiden. Or someone who wears power armor to fight. Random people should not be able to go toe to toe with ninjas. Utilize the fantasy element of DOA more. No need to limit it to humans.

Spoiler

My head will probably be put on a pike for this but I don't care about skin color. Design and execution are more important.

As long as the character is not Marie Rose or NiCO type, physically, I'm fine with it.

Could add a character that's sorta like the monkey king from the movie the forbidden kingdom , that would be dope and give his ass the staff to fight with

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

Types of characters that could be nice :
- a loli exotic dancer (Talim, Pullum, erm... Josie?)
- a mature Asian female (Taki, Juri, Jun)
- a more-or-less manly dandy (Cervantes, Vega, Chaolan)
- a weirdo/creature/animal (Voldo, Blanka, Gigas)

Team Ninja needs to look at Tekken as far as diversity. I remember that a poll was made for DOA 5 and I said you need more diverse characters in the game or a create a fighter mode.

Okay you can now change a lot of features on a fighter in this game but how about a player created fighter with a pre destined backstory? Maybe choose from about 4 or 5 and have them link to established characters, you now have a good reason to buy more costumes now to set you fighter up as a more unique person.

Or if TN are going to make their own please for the love of GOD, NO MORE LOLI'S!!!!! And get more guys in the game and women older than their teens fighting.

Create a fighter mode? No thanks. I don’t want to see self made uglies of others on my tv screen.

I agree with the no more loli’s but we haven’t gotten a little girl since the release of Kula Diamond. I agree with what you’re saying though.

 

[kejaris]

Also I would like better costumes instead of the usual same themes. Holiday, maids,wedding, witches? Yawn, go on Pinterest or some other site for better inspiration for these outfits. Or get some more sporty stuff.
A summer dress and hat dosent look very fight worthy.

I just want some more males tbh. I want some cute young guys with more current gen personalities besides the apprentices and warrior type personalities that the guys already have xD I really feel like this year for DOA FEST if they have it, they should do a 4 category character design tournament so that way maybe in 2021 we can have at least 4 new characters with varied designs. But make it inclusive and not so centered on the Japanese ideals since western players have alot of good ideas too

 

[kejaris]

Yeah some more guys would be nice. I mean MEN not little pretty boys like Elliot. Dudes that look like they can beat the soul outta you. I want more Rachel, Tina sized women of different nationalities too. Maybe a Gal Gadot clone?

I wouldn't say Eliot is little imo since he's pretty beefy now in DOA6 xD I think some younget guys about 19 to 22 would be good tho since there's a whole lot of different, more fresh character types they can use like valley boys, etc. And I wouldn't mind maybe a bitchy arrogant socialite girl who's about 21 to 22 who's like a tall statuesque girl xD

 

[kejaris]

Well Tekken has Lilly and Street Fighter has Karin so why not? But no more blondes or blue hair! Can I get her as a fiery Ginger with Rachels body? Grrr

That should not prevent them from creating such a mode. Just give us an option where you can block online customization.

And honestly I'd rather have such a mode than being stuck for ten years with Japanese only female characters.

 

[kejaris]

Exactly!!! I get it's Team Ninja but come on! Almost half the roster are Japanese females! Nothing against them but can I get an Iranian, African, or Thai chick? I will even settle for an cross-eyed Eskimo at this point.

sorry I just quoted wrong.
I was talking about an iranian character in DOA. I can live with one in MK with burka and everything but in DOA? no please, only add a character that uses persian wrestling and I will be happy with our presentation, thank you.

Just because someone is Middle Eastern doesn’t automatically mean they’re Muslim or religious. Tina is from the south and we don’t assume she’s Christian. Also, what’s wrong with burka’s? It would be cool to see a character completely covered except their eyes.

 

[kejaris]

It could add mystery to the woman but what fighting style would a character like that use? Also outfits would be kinda limited and definitely no bikinis!

Iranian female don't wear the burqa. It was banned 80+ years ago. Only a very few extremists peasants do it.

Anyway, outside of their country, they don't have to wear hijab (scarf) either. Having a DOA character from Iran would positively destroy that stereotype.

Iranian females have always been glamourous and feminine and using cosmetics for 5000+ years. And veryyy beautiful (I'm gay but still, true goddesses).

It is still at the bottom in terms of women's rights for sure, but don't mix up Iran with Pakistan or even India.

Edit: just to be clear, I'm not saying Iran is as "free" as Europe or the US, like you cannot wear a bikini in public. The Islamic law is present. Female modesty is a thing.
But let's decrease ethnocentrism as much as we can : just as much as I believe you don't have to be half-naked to be feminine, you should not think our culture is "normal" - having ads with half-naked girls all over the streets.

Banned? what? people are free to wear anything they like here but it should not be too revealing. (should obey what quran says)
I think it was 10 years ago, people were arrested for wearing revealing outfits but now government is not as sensitive as then.

Correct

Just because someone is Middle Eastern doesn’t automatically mean they’re Muslim or religious.

but I think like 90% in middle east are Muslim so we can assume 90% that's true.
but not all Iranians live in Iran. some live in US, some live in Europe so maybe we can have an Iranian that lives outside Iran.

It would be cool to see a character completely covered except their eyes.

isn't phase-4 default costume like that except for her face being covered?

Also, what’s wrong with burka’s?

it's as wrong in a fighting games as bikinis or high heels. how can someone fight in something like that? but hey DOA is not that realistic so whatever.
