DLC Costumes

[Jadeinchains]

Basically everything on the right is leagues better than what we actually got with her design.

They should make doa6 take place 2 years later and now Marie Rose is a young woman with a more mature figure, attitude and fashion sense. I'm sure that won't happen though because the Japanese fanbase would rather have her just be moe forever.

What I find most interesting is that all these designs for Marie Rose are so different between them that are very likely tied to an early stage of her creation: apparently TN explored ideas to make of the new character an oriental martial artist, a more sporty one as Hitomi, or what seems to be a Japanese schoolgirl. On the bottom we can also see that white outfit that imo it would have ended to appear even more "Japanese" than the ultimate gothic fashion, considering that seems taken directly from some uniform of fantasy anime (not like my Ein's design xD). Jokes aside I suppose that its story is when TN started to think to affiliate the new girl with the fashionable Helena.

In the ending they seem interesting, but the character coming out from them it would have been much more different from the Marie Rose that we know, so I'm not sure if we can actually talk of effective different costume designs for her, rather of different "characters designs". For example the white outfit appears give to me the idea of a character more mature than youngster (contrarily to the "kung fu" or "sport" uniform), while the design on the left seems to push her more toward the anime realm than the gothic one (the latter it's not related only to a tv trope).

In the end I would have liked the white outfit version, but honestly I'm satisfied of the final outcome considering what TN showned us so far. I just hope to see in DoA6 an increased relevance to the description of the character in the rest of her standard outfits and characterization/interactions with others.

PS: I'm also curious to see if we will see fulfilled what seems to be the idea of her rivalty with Ayane for Eliot's heart... XD

 

[Jadeinchains]

Yeah Marie Rose's default outfits seem like the most random out of all the characters in terms of personality. One second full on Gothic lolita the next sci fi leotard! All the other characters defaults show who they are but we really don't know much about Marie. ( This could be extended to all the new dlc characters )

I'd also exclude dlc outfits when it comes to suiting a characters personality because basically none of it does.

I say fuck it I'm turning those alt designs into their own characters XD

The white one (and the b/w bottom right) are still possible ideas for new characters, if something TN could give the rest of this vestiary respectively to Leifang and Hitomi/Mila (but for some reasons I see better Hitomi for the ones on the picture) that between the existing roster seems to be the most fitting ones for them.

PS: It's also interesting to see that Honoka originally was thought to main even a martial uniform, while apparently the final character want give the idea to be overall a "casual fighter" (just in line with the source of her ability, not learned through a fighting dicipline).

All I know is I liked that design enough to do this horrible sketch in 5 minutes in total darkness XD

Should have made that for a new kicking girl instead of the moeblob from samurai warriors...


Side note. That should have been Mila's new hairstyle instead of the cutesy neat hairpin she got in last round.

Nice work with your sketches like always! I would love to have what you call "horrible" 5 minutes skill xD

(About Naotora Ii I expect to see her in game before to give further judgements)

Thanks lol.

On the plus side this has inspired me to see if we can get people to push TN for a hairstyle pack with styles actually appropriate for the characters.

But none of that nonsense like emo boy band cuts for Bayman and Rig lol.

Now imma sit down and sketch hairstyles

That for Mila, a Colossus cut for Bayman as well as his old slicked back assassin style, maybe a fauxhawk for Rig to compliment his general douchiness XD...

I really think there would be a market for hair pack dlc so long as TN actually made the hair suit the characters. To give them some credit we are seeing dlc outfits have different hairstyles with them more often so that's a start.

True but last time only a couple really worked (Christie and Helena). Others like Tina and Mila got random crap that doesn't work outside the schoolgirl outfits, while Kasumi and Ayane got slight variations to their normal hair that's almost unnoticeable, then there was ugly crap like momijis Bob.

Hitomi is hit or miss, I kinda like it but most didn't.


But yeah currently doodling hairstyles I'll post the sketches later

To me most of the new hair was like I loved it or I hated it and no in between other than one of two. Luckily I loved most of the new hairstyles so I wasn't disappointed like some other people. Anyway to me they rank like this.

Top Tier Hair

Christie's sci fi bob
Helena's Braid
Ayane's ponytail (It might be just a slight variation but its my favourite of hers.)
Leifang's braid
Kasumi's Side ponytail
Kokoro's ponytail
Nyo's hair down

In between Tier

Lisa's silver hair (If it was just her normal hair colour it would be nice)
Momiji's bob
Hitomi's short hair
Rachel's hair down

Shit Tier

Ayane's pigtails
Tina's pigtails
Mila's hairclip

And I don't care about the males hair cuts much. But yeah thats my opinion on the hair styles they added in LR. I like the idea for more hair because I just finally got the game for PS4 and can finally use the hair for the first time.

This is near identical to what I think of the added hair. Kasumi however is in between; had they made it a basic low ponytail and made it as thick and flowy as her high ponytail, I'd love it alot more. Mila's pinned hair was also really bad honestly.

 

[Chapstick]

I really don't like the side pony and when I see someone pick it or her loose hair I'm like

To be fair it'd look stupid if she had her full ponytail volume hanging off the side of her damn head so the choice in volume and length was good for it

It reminds me every time I see it of this book I read in elementary school. By a miracle I was able to find it on google and even a screenshot of this page

Lol, I didn't mean the sidepony having her full length. I meant I'd love if they gave her her classic low ponytail with the same little tied ribbon, but it's actually at the lower back and it still has like 50% of her total high ponytail volume. I'd main that hairstyle like my life depended on it honestly .( And I low key dislike her side pony too, I'm really disappointed at hairstyles that require sacrificing the length of the original.~_~)

 

[Chapstick]

I'm finally becoming okay with the braid, I appreciate the DOA1 throwback, but I'd like it and use it more if it was longer and a little thicker.

Don't think we'll ever get hair dlc but I'm curious how DOA6 will handle hair. If it'll start with more or less or what + glasses and sunglasses for everyone

 

[KasumiLover]

Who knows, they may start secretly sliding new hairstyles into the DLC like Honoka, Kasumi, Ayane, and now Marie Rose since she'll get a loose(and most likely bad) hair option. Although it's costume exclusive, I kinda like the alternate hair they give you with the costumes.

And if I'm not mistaken, wasn't her braid in DOA1 longer? I know her ponytail was shorter.

 

[Argentus]

What gets me is the neat hair clip they gave Mila would've actually looked really cute on say, Marie Rose or Honoka.

But on the sporty brawler with a punkish default hair? Its a huge waddafuk.

Ugh I swear Tina Pigtails are ugly!!! I Can Deal With Ayane But OMG! Tina Is Horrible I Cringe Everytime I see it Also I think Momijis Bob Is Bleh Does not suit her style I think

Tina's pigtails somehow have the opposite affect on her than there supposed to have and end up making her look like a woman in her late 30's desperately trying to look like a 16 year old.

What gets me is the neat hair clip they gave Mila would've actually looked really cute on say, Marie Rose or Honoka.

I really question their thought process sometimes when they decide punk black and blood red hair goes with cutesy hair clips.

The Bob would have been alot better if they kept her normal parted side fringe and not go for the blunt look...it didn't suit the poor girl at all. Tina's pigtails should've been revised and made into a ponytail instead, she looks like some blonde milf you'd find in a hentai manga...especially with her Japanese voice. TN needs to hold a hairstyle contest, I'd make sure to slay since I enjoy good hair with a passion.
