DOA5LR New character expectations (Spring 2016)

[Banana56]

I'd love a character like @KwonJigglypuff character

This game could use a Korean now

Man this thread has gone places while I was away...

Hoping for a character that can join my elite team of aristocratic and bitchy fighters united.

Haha it's fun, we almost have the same type of favourite character.
You're is the mean aristocratic babe, mine is more the "Lady of War", a.k.a classy characters that can fight with elegance (Helena, Rose, Kitana, Amy/Viola, Leo/Lili, Princess Peach, etc).

I suppose Helena or even Marie already fill your description for DOA.

Marie is almost there, but she fights more like and more rambunctious, so she's about 3/4. Helena however fits it perfectly with her fluid and elegant spins and jabs, but unfortunately I can't use her to safe my life.~_~

Speaking of our loli Marie, Tecmo used to have a female-only fighting game called Angel Eyes, with 8 characters.

In this game, there was also a loli character with pigtails. Her name is... Marie.

There was also a character called Reika (her real name is actually Lei Fang). You can see the similarities with our very own Lei Fang.

And another character called Highway Star, which inspired Christie's "Highway Star" costume in DOAD.

Anyway, back on Angel Eyes's Marie, her individuality was kind of interesting, as she was using her teddy bear (King) to fight. It was a Rosalina & Luma situation but at a more closer range, minus the projectiles. It would be nice to have such a mechanic in DOA, but with something that makes sense. Something DOATEC could have worked on... any ideas ?

I must have her

 

[KasumiLover]

You and your love for girls with short hair Aregentus...

What if they actually went back and made a remake of this game or used one of the girls as inspiration for a new character?

FWIW these are all common anime tropes, nothing original in either game.

Yeah yeah I know, I was just pointing out the similarities with famous DOA characters. Highway Star is already Christie, and Reika/Lei Fang is already... Lei Fang.

I was talking about the new character in terms of mechanics, that's really what I'm more curious to learn about. I can't wait for TN to deliver their first hint on that topic. Maybe a teaser soon. I mean, after all, Honoka was teased several months before her official reveal.

 

[Banana56]

Speaking of Angel Eyes, there do seem to be a lot of DOA counterparts

Raiya > Mila
Reika > Lei Fang
Chibiko > Honoka
Kiriko >Ayane
Highway Star > Christie
Marie > Marie-Rose
Lina > Rachel
Angel > NyoTengu

All that's left is Mysterious Power

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

Very true. She's ...well... mysterious and she uses projectiles (sort of gun).
Closest thing to her would be Helena because they are both glamourous but yeah...

 

[Me want Kasumi]

I have a feeling the new character will be an idol (inspired) girl

She'll likely be inspired by a female from Idol M@ster (whether from the original series or Cinderalla Girls)

She'd probably fight like Kaoru from Xuan Dou Zhi Wang mix with Rise from Persona 4 (Arena)

And would look like Haruka from Yakuza

 

[Russian-chiropractic19]

pretty sure if she can throw out magical projectiles her classification isn't going to be "pop idol"

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

Please not another young girl. It was nice with Marie because it was original back in 2013, it was okay with Honoka even though we don't know much about her, because her gimmick was nice, but that's it. But another young babe would be too much and really boring, no matter what her personality is.

And please no to another female. It's paradoxal because I prefer the female gender in video game in general, but in order to appreciate the women who are in DOA, I also need to have a certain balance with males. I'd say keep the new females for DOA6 or even DOAX3. I reached the saturation point with Honoka back in February. This is not Senran Kagura.

You might say I'm a bit hypocritical, but I would only say 'yes' to a female if she is a very unique 'old' female with a very unique moveset. But that would prove again that TN has no creativity regarding male creations. I want something that matches their hint : "something never seen before". An idol is nothing like that...

PS : despite Honoka not clearly being a pop idol, she was clearly inspired by them, so I'd say she already fills that description. She's our magical girl/pop idol/anime rep.

 

[Project Bokuho]

Pop idol? Next.

 

[Argentus]

Welp we've sadly predicted all dlc characters right SK far so that's what she's going to be

who is we?

 

[Me want Kasumi]

Oh no a pop idol isn't what I'd necessarily want, it's just knowing TN it's what I can see happening.

Here name will be Haruka just like....... well Haruka and she'll get a similar design with some clothing, hair, and body touch ups.

Bookmark this guys

I hope this character is actually simple to use. I loved Honoka when she first was announced and wanted to use her, but her move set and style is just too tricky for me.
