I'd prefer a new character, not someone taken from other games as a guest.

Having 4 VF imports is more than enough.

Then it's Vanessa, no contest:

And she can be either this or her buff ass version before her remodel:

She's colored and an amazon, best of both worlds.

She's in a crouching state. That grab can catch lows too?

Oh, sorry. I wasn't referring to any specific OH. If she's in a crouching state, then obviously both characters will whiff. Tengu could opt for 9P2T instead though and get a Hi Counter Throw.

Too Op pls nerf. So you can decide high or low while in flight that's convenient.

Much as I love Vanessa, I feel she would be redundant in DOA.

Visually, she's a gender swapped Leon.
Fighting style wise she's kinda like a more technical mila.

I dunno just feel that between my two mains, Vanessa doesn't have much to offer DOA. (Though akira/kokoro, and Sarah/rig, plus Jackie/jann doesn't help my case I suppose.)


Also LOL autocorrect changed Jann to JoAnn.

JoAnn Lee.

Hayashi already confirmed its not Ryo Hazuki.
He agrees he would be too similar to akira.
How is ryo like akira? I know he was originly gonna be akira, but beyond that?

Hell I will take an NG immigrant like Yaiba at this point if his gameplay is unique enough from the other ninjas.

He should have the meter for his rocket arm and flail for long distance spacing. He would work kinda like Shun Di works in regards to how some moves would only be available with meter. This would add a cool dynamic IMO.

To be honest, I think Nyotengu should be the last character. These new characters have literally little to no back story at this point. Team Ninja would be better off saving new characters for DOA6 at this point. Also, unless they want to take the random dice away from character select, where would the new character go? Even though it might not matter to some, I like having the random function and I like a symmetrical character select screen. Also, my other reason for TN to not introduce another new character is petty. I've bought majority of the costume DLC thus far and with new characters means more money on DLC that I want to spend, because I just like having all the costumes. Yes, I know I don't HAVE to buy all the costumes, but it's just something about me having a complete package.

That is also why I hope why a complete edition package of DOA5U doesn't get released, UNLESS, it's just a package with the three DLC characters included from the start and the original DOA5 DLC costumes for all the characters unlocked from the start as well. I don't see Team Ninja making a complete edition with ALL the DLC unlocked from the start. That would alienate fans who bought all the DLC thus far. Just my take on this.

Wow, this is a nice surprise! Congrats to all who finished a design & entered, and to winners alike.
Thanks to those who gave me feedback here to improve the design, especially Argentus.
I'm glad we have a little variety from those previous "top choices". :)

True, but then again you can also catch fuzzy guarding players. It all comes down to a good read.

Yes, but it's often too risky to make it worth it. It was best to use them to quickly swoop in and whiff punish, or to catch someone who liked to just stand there and block after a tech or FT. They basically had to be setup in some way.

It would have made more sense, I think, if they had been OHs. Not for Nyotengu though, since she also gets to do attacks from 9P now, but definitely for Bankotsubo back in the day.

Thank you for the insight sir I hope you enjoy your character.

If it is a VF character, I wish it could be Jean Kujo, or Kagemaru.
Just imagine that White Flowing Hair in DOA5 graphics!

Lol he'll never make it. Nothing against Jean but.....I prefer someone else.


Also I doubt there will be any DW or SW character. If there's any hint of DW or SW...it'll probably be costumes like last time.

Just have some time travel shenanigans involving a moon princess. Worked well enough to get Hayabusa and Ayane into Warriors Orochi 3.

Nothing against DWs. It's just that throwing a guest character like those are pretty slim. DOA's a fighting game and weaponry is an issue. Majority of those guys barely have any knowledge on how to combat physically. (there may be a few exceptions in there that characters could make a fighting style like how Momiji was converted a bit to have a style.) Very unlikely for DW though.

Of course, it's only just my prediction. May or may not come true.
