Now that I think about it - and after reading Kodachi's impressions -, I must admit, @Argentus , that I'd rather see Team Ninja working harder on Rachel's moveset (more moves, more individuality) than having a heavy fighter like Nicole again. Her roll 8P+K isn't really a sufficient gimmick in my opinion.

Not sure why people ask for Nicole when Rachel was her replacement for obvious copyright issues.
. Well first, Rachel is a lame replacement, and second, I'm hoping they can loophole the trademark by just renaming her as not a Spartan, and having a new moveset. I liked her character and personality and presentation SO MUCH I really want her back

But honestly, I think Rachel is better replacement, she just needs better tools to make her an even better character. She's still a heavy hitter, but she's one of those characters that have such a limit set of tools, it makes it hard to use her effectively. Not saying that it can't be done, because I've seen it be done, it's just she needs some more tweaks. ETA: Not to mention, Rachel is smoking hot. Nicole was just a rip-off of Master Chief since they couldn't get the real deal and her costumes were all just recolors of her uniform.

It's not so much about the moveset, so much as the character itself. I liked Nicole as a character. II preferred Leon for straight gameplay. Rachel can.get a better moveset, but shell still be lame ass Rachel. I want badass cocky Nicole.

"I'll make sure you'll regret this."
"You're pretty good. For a human."
*heel stomp* "Pathetic!"

Rachel seems very cocky and badass to me. Lol

In DOA Dimensions you can see Ayane owning a mask like the one of Genra but not being the same that his foster father use:

DOAD_Ayane_Genra.jpg


It's very likely that the mask wasn't a personal part of Genra's wardrobe, rather something that all the members of the Hajinmon clan own (or at least the leader and the one fated to get its role in the future).

Knowing it, the mask that Donovan show in the end of Dimensions not necessarily mean that he is Genra, just that he could have interactions with the Hajinmon clan (maybe he could be a runaway shinobi from the clan? Would be nice to see a previous ninja that created a new life and identity in the "modern" world)

Interesting. I guess Genra's mask wasn't as special as I thought. I can see that about Donovan considering that his true nationality is still currently unknown (even though being blonde could automatically assume that he is Caucasian).

Untransformed Genra could have been somewhat interesting to see him fight without all the Project Omega gimmicks.

This is another thing. DoA dimensions given a - very nice IMO - explanation for the "casual" outfits weared by the shinobi. When for some reasons they have to make secret infiltrations inside the "civilized" world, they are forced to use modern outfits for doing it (well, Hayabusa in NG3 was the exception, but with him having to fight against an army of terrorists and alchemists, it was impossible to not use a shinobi armor).

It could be because she was drunk but Lisa was able to identify Ryu's identity in a tuxedo during the announcement for the 2nd tournament.

Goddamn I wish I could just paste the text in FireFox mobile. or press enter without it going berserk. or if explorer would let me select text boxes at all. Anyways, Nicole quotes, minus military jargon ones. "You just ran outta luck.". "And THAT'S how you hit like a girl!". "You were strong. Just not as strong as me!". "You have no business (up) here.". "Forget what you saw here.". "Enough is enough.". "I'll take you on.". "I'll put you out of your misery.". "That bad day you're having, just got worse.". "You ain't gonna make it.". "Leave now. Nothing here but a shortcut to hell."

Being drunk gives you special identification powers...

I can verify this. :p

Also kind of "off-topic" (:rolleyes:) but do you think we're really just going to get MR w/o any additional info on who she is? Even when Lili was added in Dark Resurrection they still went ahead and gave her a story+ending even though she wasn't in the original T5.


Psycho laughing Lili. O_O

Donovans mask could be any random mask of the world. Even the Regent from NG3 wears something similar (Phantom of the Opera, even though it's covering his full face...for obvious reasons :p spoiler etc. ), and he certainly isn't a shinobi or related to any of the Ninja Clans in NG and DOA.

And since when was Gamov a Black-Spider shinobi....did I missed something? EDIT: Never mind, the info is found in one of the diaries in NG2. Forgot that already, lol

Rachel is badass, and can be cocky at times. I'm going off the assumption you're familiar with the character in NG prior to her coming into DOA. I think you just hold a distaste for her because she replaced Nicole who you clearly liked.

I can verify this. :p

Honestly, I don't think we'll receive anything beyond what we know. Maybe if they give her tag animations it'll give us a faint idea who her characters going to be in relation with- but if they were going to add any story mode stuff for her they would have to do the same for Momiji, Ein, Leon and Rachel while they're at it.... so I don't see that happening anytime soon. Gonna have to wait for DOA6.

Then personally I prefer Tengu to Alpha (also because I'm not a fan of the characters with a total "inhuman personality" intended like absence of any kind of feelings), but this is far to mean that I don't like the DoA4 boss ;)

Well, in Alpha's defense... she's designed to be an ultimate weapon. Lacking humane feelings so she can reign destruction on everything around her. Which is why Phase-4 is flawed. She's a weapon with humane feelings, I mean... you see her crying in the ending. Forced to destroy things whilst having a conscience. It's kind of sad really.... anyway kind of getting off topic! but yeah! That's kind of the whole point of Alpha. Void of human emotion so she can easily destroy everything without hesitation.

In the end, Alpha is destroyed now so I don't see her sticking around for DOA6.

I think she's better off with lighter armor. Maybe similar to this.

OMG yes. If a Mitsuru-esque character was added.... so much win.
