I wonder how many old characters are going to find their way back into DOA5?
I could certainly do without a few, but as long as we don’t get a super annoying final boss -oh, and my main Helena- I’ll be happy about the cast.
They have to be careful about the stages though, if some stages can provide more area damage, then of course people are going to choose those over others.
I would assume it has all the characters from DOA dimensions and more.
Lisa is my main, she’s actually mid to low tier but I enjoyed using her a lot and when I use low tier characters tiers tend to go out the window 
I wouldn’t say pulling back on the fun bags, but more like using the “enhancements” on the other “features”.
I like how Hayashi tries to be like Itagaki with his trash talk, but he has yet to truly stand apart from his former boss in any significant way.
First he was quoted about how the likes of Ninja Gaiden 2 and Bayonetta are “outdated” (as per the aarticle here: http://www.play-mag.co.uk/general/ninja-gaiden-producer-bayonetta-is-outdated/), now he’s talking about how fighting games have stagnated. Given the (unwelcome) changes he’s introduced into NG3 thus far, this makes me a bit cautious about just what he stands to do with DOA5.
What’s next? QTE-interactions for Stage Transitions, a la MKvDC? :lol:
DOA 5 is definitely slower than DOA4 but it looks great.
The gameplay shown in the pre-alpha trailer was the same as DOA4. It’s not that it’s “slower” but that the AI was being slow to attack. There were instances where it just stood there, no okizeme was used at all, and it just allowed itself to take the hits. The focus was obviously on the stage transitions in this trailer.
I kinda prefer the anime kinda look. It makes them look graceful imo.
Hitomi?

" In Dead Or Alive 5 players will be able to feel more involved in the action as they see their fighters sweat as they exert more energy. Further, the grittier realistic design of these beloved fighters adds a new layer of depth to the Dead Or Alive series."
Sweaty girl on girl confirmed.
Not going to lie, Jan Lee is my second favorite JKD/Jun Fan character right after Jacky Bryant.
Well I hope they don’t fuck DOA up. The new Team Ninja hasn’t impressed anyone so far. Their vision for more interaction could mean some bullshit like God of War style action sequences with stages. I hope they prove me wrong though, it’s been too long since a DOA game and I don’t want some next gen version of DOA: Dimensions.
They better bring back the lobbys from DOA4. They were to sick.

I do appreciate the more realistic look they are going for now. The anime faces would look completely off given the more realistic looking stages and better graphics.
I need even bigger hitsparks! I can still see what’s going on…
Other than that, it looks kind of cool.
I have a good feeling about Ninja Gaiden 3, and if the YouTube comments are anything to go off of, most of the stuff that people are upset about is dumb.
Worst case scenario: it will be twice as good as any God of War game.
Isn’t it weird that Team Ninja made the super-hardcore 3D action game and the casual 3D fighter?
We need to start a petition … No pancake asses for the DOA girls. Shit is disgusting.
But asian girls have pancake asses
NONE of the chicks in DOA have ass. its annoying
totally agree with that
