Idk about anyone else but Ayane 's 3d model is pretty ugly. Kasumi is no better, but the style of the SK artist just makes everything so much better. Also Kasumi is a bitch that got slapped around by Ryu, Ryu has smoke particles, therefore they have enough bitches gettin smacked by Kiriya. And she's ugly. We need a new character from their game more than they do ours.

Yeah but that's the card battle game New Wave she's not a playable character in the main games.

Ayane was the better pick though imo. There's going to be a lot of spinning going on in EV. ;)

Maybe the deal was only one DoA character? Or simply budget? They could have easily had three if they included Kasumi/Momiji.

Like above said, New Waves are irrelevant in this game.

Wait. Does this mean Ayane and the other guests are gonna get a shinobi transform or just one form?

Senran Ayane has bigger breasts as well like she is back to her pre-DoA 5 self.

Also Kasumi is a bitch that got slapped around by Ryu
Your implying he can't do the same to Ayane if he so chooses to.

I don't know anything about Battle Vixen but for Ayane I hope she has her purple dress. It'd suck if they only had one form.

Maybe tn just doesn't like their main girl used by others if they can help it so they let people use ayane instead

And by SK standards: 18 is better than 19. XD

Not suprised, that they gave away Ayane to Senran Kagura, but not Kasumi. Team Ninja (not just only under Itagaki) was always reluctant to give Kasumi on loan to other games or generally make experiments with her. She has the highest ideational worth of any character in DOA. Like Jin for Tekken, Akira for Virta Fighter or Siegfried for Soul Calibur. They do know very well, that this worth would take a hit, giving her to a B-game franchise and having her in situations, that the Senran Kagura girls do encouter in these games...you know, what I mean. ;) Poor Ayane... Ayane is still a very popular character (only second to Kasumi), so Marvelous will be pleased...whatever deal they made with Team Ninja...

By the way, Itagaki just recently made a comment on his personal Facebook page, about "saving DOA"... I wonder, if the Senran Kagura deal was one of the reasons...

To be fair by anime standards, 14 is the ideal age for a girl lol.

Though miyabi is 21 or 24 and daidoji is even older.

Wait what.

Id love to have him back because he had style and was a master of presentation, but even I'll admit doa5 made some progress in some areas, and hearing "saving DOA" makes me worried he'd go too far.


Also side note. He sent me a friend request. I have never posted on his wall or commented in his posts before. Does he just add people at random or what? Not to be mean but I'm honestly curious what prompted it.

By the way people it's not true that Kasumi's appearence is not used in other series, actually this happened and even in some much less popular than Senran Kagura. The effective Kasumi's character compared only in Warriors Orochi Ultimate 3 (from the Dinasty Warriors series), but even so the appearence given from her outfit in various games was enough to make think to the players to use Kasumi through the female character of turn.

Lady mercenaries waering as Kasumi in Ragnarok Odissey Ace:

I simply think that the recent survey showned that Kasumi and Ayane remain again very popular characters and Team NINJA is just switching from the usage of one to another. More, it's important let's consider that Kasumi is the kunoichi that has less the fame of warrior compared to Momiji and Ayane (that make always their presence in Ninja Gaiden games compared to Kasumi playable only in Razor's Edge so far), so having to choose just one girl for a fighting game with weapons as the Senran Kagura series, I think that the most logical choice had to be surely Ayane more popular than Momiji and better suited than Kasumi.

A similar reasoning could be done even for a dark game as Fatal Frame V, where Ayane's crossover was surely more indicated than Kasumi considering her background.

No one ever said that, Kronin. I said, Team Ninja is reluctant to give Kasumi away. We all know, that Kasumi has indeed been featured in several other video games. But most times, as you said, it was just her costume. There's a big difference of letting a character dress as Kasumi or having the actual Kasumi in the game. Also there would happen some questionable things to Kasumi, if she was in Senran Kagura. She will be stripped, she will be groped, she will get in humiliating situations. Team Ninja wants Kasumi pure and innocent, she is THE face of DOA. I'm pretty sure, that is the reason, why she isn't in SK yet, but Ayane.

Yay Ayane and Battle Vixen characters are going to be playable. Seeing how Ayame is going to be playable to I think that is the start of the open door for more New Wave girls to be added in the future.

I wonder what Ayane's uniform will be, I think she'll get her blue school uniform.

But they're more masculine (or as the SK girls call them: "handsome" XD). That's why despite their ages they're still really popular among SK fans (Miyabi especially...wow didn't realize how many people love her). Imu is around Miyabi's age and despite being your standard SK well-endowed girl she is the least popular (and while there are many reasons to hate her I think age plays a factor).

So with the EV girls + Daidoji and Rin + 5 new DLC girls that means there's 32 playable characters in EV. :O

I'm so excited for Ayane she looks so cute in Nan Yaegashi's artstyle! I wouldn't be as hyped if it was Kasumi tbh
I wonder why they only gave her one Kodachi, probably to differ her from Asuka?

Senran Kagura a B-game franchise?
