The moment before my reaction was: I just wake up, then I checked on my Discord server on my phone as new messages were in, on the videos channel one of my friends posted the trailer, I watched as I was like 'Wha-what...?', and then... I was saying 'Oschit!' and 'Omaigah!'.
I'm a semi-new Dead or Alive player and fan, as I started playing the first two Ultimate games for Xbox on my 360 in january, and I loved playing the second game, and in february I got Dead or Alive 5 and it was so awesome. And yeah I feel hyper for this new game.

I actually think that toning down the fanservice is a good thing, maybe some people will let go the negative bias they have against the franchise, it also helps the game to make its way through competitive scenario I guess.

As a person who supports fanservice, I'm also okay with that, I was like 'well, okay then, I'm still looking forward to this game'.

I may be new to know this DoA series but I'm excited for this! I'd better get back to main Honoka if she ever appear again in this game. About the fanservice I'm absolutely OK since they toned it down a little. I don't understand those complaints though.

Edit from after seeing the trailer: WHERE ARE THE BOOBS!? ... No seriously. Did Team Ninja make a trailer for DoA where clevage and buttcracks where not part of the main focus? That's a first one.

Post by: Long John Killer on June 08, 2018, 11:52:49 pm
Well. Dead or Alive always was a series I could enjoy playing with friends, but for the life of me could never get good at or thoroughly invested in. (Though I did make it through that stupid 2-hour tutorial in 5 somehow. Not that it helped, just made me try to counter everything at the wrong height) Only a handful of characters appealed, and one of them already being the star of another series doesn't help. That said, I know a diehard friend who is going to get this and coerce me into getting it just to play with him, so I guess I'm down. Looks pretty at this point, I'll give it that.
So yeah, the whole fanservice thing is a hard split between getting on board or leaving the series for a number of people, and is really not needed to be focused on personally. You'll likely still get your sexy alt outfits like everyone else does and jiggle slider in the options menu, but it'll probably help them draw in newcomers at least to reel it in on the default stuff.
Also, you got a Samus situation with Kasumi, going from wearing less to more
Read that they gonna tone the sexiness of the gals down a bit (i.e. less revealing outfits, very little of the trademark jiggle) but I'm not mad. That's what mods for the imminent Steam release are for, right?
They tried that with vanilla DOA5, fans complained... 100s of revealing dlc costumes later... I foresee the same happening here.
Nice to see actual facial animations this time.. not that stiff robotic look they had before.

I might get this game. Never played a Dead or Alive game before, but there's a first time for everything.
As for the censorship issue, I guess I don't mind that much, but I still get annoyed when other people think of us as super prudes. I meant, have you been to the local mall around here? There's swimsuits and lingerie on display now, and that's not just in front of the Victoria's Secret.

Funny enough, even in the interview all they really said is that they was going to make it so there is no OMG mode type fanservice which IS a legit complaint. The problem is that people are going straight into full on autistic screeching mode despite the fact that most DOA players want there to not be as ridiculous fanservice costumes that the DLC later went onto and how ridiculous OMG mode was.
So basically, you have people REE'ing and IGN thinking they've won when we know this is just a Western Tactic and listening to those who simply want it toned down from the ridiculousness that Last Round later went into.
I'm ESPECIALLY fine with this since they plan on actually focusing on the males just as much as the females which has me hopeful that Hayate can actually be a badass for once.

Yeah, it felt like they actually focused on more male fighters, which is a good thing. Maybe Leon could come back being a badass in terms of gameplay.
Helena, Ayane and Mila are my favourite females, so I'm pretty much safe, anyways.
Do you think Team Ninja will cross over more in DoA 6 ? Maybe we get Terry Bogard this time?

Except it was never focused on Niitris, apparently ALL DOA TRAILERS have always focused on those 2 aspects like The Street Fighter stated... (Seriously, all I remember is maybe the infamous "She Kicks High" commercial and a few commercials like that in Japan and I don't remember DOA5 in any capacity having trailers like that...

I gotta say DOA6 looks damn impressive. While I may find their fanservice decision a mix between going serious and maybe a bit lacking, that alone can be made up with mods just as easily as Griffin stated. The combat seems a bit more polished up and even has a bit more realism to it. Team Ninja is still going strong.

they dropped the jiggle engine. so no more jiggling boobs.
they are probably going for a serious tone this time around with less sexiness. one of the devs said last game the girls were too sexy and they'll focus on the "cool factor" this time around cause the last game apparently was too embarrassing to play. and they said that american comics are going for this trend too.
so DOA that was known for it's fan service is going to drop fan service. i dunno but i think this is a stupid move. unless if the gameplay is amazing and not lackluster like DOA 5.
Title: Re: Dead or Alive 6 revealed
Post by: Bastard Mami on June 12, 2018, 09:04:23 pm
but, american comics; but it seems they missed the memo where american comics are losing sales and the ones doing well are the comics based movies.
and they said the same things for doa5 and ended up recapitulating because the fgc did not take thier game seriously anyway (first make a good and deep fighting game, then take out the nipples like sf), I expect that will happen again.

They also said that they're going for the e-sports crowd. Good luck, DoA5 is still a jank fighting game (though somehow not much worse than what current day Namco has to offer) and while it's still too early, I highly doubt 6 will suddenly become an FGC darling. Apparently cool = zap all of the fun that DoA is known for (boob jiggle included) and make everyone wear black, boring as fuck costumes with bland looking stages. All to appease people who are gonna end up dropping the game anyway and go back to Street Fighter V or Dragonball.
Tag Team mode is also confirmed to be absent from the game (per Famitsu), something that every game in the series has had since 1999. Meanwhile, Soulcalibur VI has just confirmed Create-a-Character, hasn't made e-sports a priority, and has personality that resembles a Soulcalibur game. Gravure movies are also absent (kinda duh) but that's the more overt stuff that most people wouldn't have an issue with toning down.
This game sounds awful so far, I'm not interested in playing some "generic western action game" called Dead or Alive. Maybe they'll turn it around somewhere, but it's safe to say this game is already off to a poor start.

Title: Re: Dead or Alive 6 revealed

Mainly long-term publicity and money. Partially so that people can feel 'proud' when playing DoA.

I'm sorry to rain on your parade Niitris, but I honestly gotta disagree with your assertions something fierce...
1. Team Ninja(and most DOA competitive fans) know damn well that DOA isn't going to suddenly be the talk of the town and be some omega huge fanbase at all. There's a difference between trying to expand to get more people to watch and respect it and believing we will be at DBFZ numbers.
2. They never said they was going to zap anything away...including boob jiggle. I like when from what I heard, when IGN in the live demo of the game tried to press if that means the swimsuits was going to be zapped away too, they danced around that question completely to talk about the game... You are basically fussing over NOTHING as they are building up the game to be more serious, which is pretty damn natural as you don't see them doing the same thing for SFV in any of it's content meanwhile they sprinkle out the DLC the way they usually do outside of the known press.
3. So because Kasumi and Helena wears black in their default costumes, that suddenly means everyone is going to wear black now? You know that isn't the case and for Kasumi, that's an even dumber thing to complain about since people LOVED the Hayabusa-like Ninja outfit she wears at the end of DOA5's story.
4. Tag Mode being gone sucks and I actually do agree with you on that one. But considering how broken it is for DOA4 and 5 and how they don't really seem to tweak it at all for their new systems, I'd rather it be gone if they aren't going to tweak it whatsoever.
5. Trying to compare it to Soul Calibur VI is pretty shitty considering Tekken 7 has lost ALOT of modes between Tekken 6 and Tekken 7 and thus would have been the better comparison tool.
But honestly, that's your decision and I'm not going to influence it whatsoever. But I will say I honestly completely disagree.
Title: Re: Dead or Alive 6 revealed
Post by: Niitris on June 13, 2018, 12:04:28 pm
You're right about the costumes, E3 streams all had alternate colors for everyone's costume trailer, so yeah it was a bit dishonest. But first impressions are everything, and that first trailer's impression could've been better. The follow up information didn't help matters.
Tekken 7 lacking modes also got (fair) criticism, particualry the choice to make Tekken Bowl into DLC. But that isn't DoA6's direct competition, SCVI and Smash Ultimate will be. Unless Early 2019 is in May or something.
I hope [E] is right and they're just saving it all for later. The reason they did the last time is because Ninja Gaiden 3 bombed in their face and feedback from the pre-release alpha (as they called it) several months before release.
I guess we'll see when more characters are announced.
Title: Re: Dead or Alive 6 revealed
Post by: MAO11 on June 13, 2018, 07:19:36 pm
i honestly don't care if they go for a family friendly tone for this game as long as they have a solid gameplay and interesting combos.
the last game isn't that great with the exceptions of pai and akira , ayane , bass , lei fang and that kasumi clone are the only characters i found interesting to learn.
i hope they'll make something original or something different this time around , i dunno like a little bit of aerial combo. or faster 3d movement like how bloody roar tried to do.

The oldest cases I remember are some final fantasy games; in fighters,the usa censored mai's animations back in the late 90s and tmnt's asuka in the early 90s. A very funny image is one of a super sfii prototype where they censored cammy's outfit giving her a leotard.

Nothing in Fate Grand Order for English is censored... Trust me, there would have been a massive uproar considering the localization team stated that they will not censor anything unless we must and considering we have Jack The Ripper, Boudica, Shuten Douji and Mata Hari escape any brushes(and same with the CE art) with censorship and they are the "troublemakers", we are fine.

Mortal Kombat X was not banned, it was not even indexed, the organisation that puts games on the index here even forced the guys from the rating system to move there lazy asses and give the game a rating, it has a 18 rating and because of that it can be selled without problems.
And since Mortal Kombat X are the only things that get censored here nowadays still swastikas and other nazi symbols, anything else are 90% companys who are selfcensor there games beforehand, because they are either afrait they have to change it anyway because they don't know that our laws are not as strict as before, or they want to get a lower raiting to sell there 18+ games to Kids.
And for Mad World, Sega don't even officialy released it here, and the PEGI Rating has no legitimacy in Germany since we have our own Rating system, that makes it a unrated game in germany, and games like that can be indexed realy easy.

But I'm just more intrigued by his role in the story and his character. And honestly, I find the poor man's Tekken stuff insulting because Tekken itself has plenty of stereotyped characters themselves at this point. Not helped by the massive focus of the Mishima Clan eclipsing everyone else and making most of their stories have no real payoff or ending.

It's funny because people are acting as her Cheongasm(hope I'm spelling that type of outfit right) is HER outfit and thus must be always there... despite it being only from her DOA2 days and onwards and her original outfit was somewhat similar to this one.
It also wouldn't make sense since Helena is wearing a Cheongasm and thus it would be pretty dumb to have her wear one as well for her official outfit for DOA6.

I will bet you that it does make an appearance as a DLC costume since she has worn it from DoA2 to DoA5. That's four games... it's pretty recognizable at this point.

Well of course it is, they already confirmed that Kasumi will still have her original outfit playable anyway. You just have people(mainly the minority honestly) going stark stupid at this point about a "game series" they care about when most people know they never gave a shit and even mocked the series on occasion. I can understand being wary but that is obviously not even remotely happening here.

Jesus, what's with everyone and going the hentai route? Honestly though, it's not like they never said that they was going away from the fanservice completely, it's just not going to be at the forefrent compared to the fighting.
But I'm liking the tentacle danger zone since they seem to be going back to the fantastical elements with the stages that people love after the complete absence of stages of the sort in DOA5.

Did the developers and/or producers reveal the theme for Dead or Alive 6 is Intense Fighting Entertainment? I'm sold. This game is better than the ones before it. It is also a relief that they're turning down the extreme fan-service.

Don't worry, this was what I was saying from the start:
- They said they was going to make sure the jiggle stayed unexaggerated and people freaked because people can't understand game design and game making.
- They also said that we was going to get the classic costumes back and we did.
All this really seems is covering the bases they already stated they did and people took it to a level from sheer hearsay from the very sites they say people don't listen to.
Of course these last few responses can be practically sarcasm... but my detector has been dead since I stayed in GameFAQs and Reddit too long.
EDIT:
Blood and the Zoom in Punches are toggleable... just as people said it was. I honestly want to know if most of these people who complained never played DOA before. Atleast the reception has been largely positive.
Title: Re: Dead or Alive 6 revealed
Post by: Xhominid on September 10, 2018, 04:03:33 pm
There will also be 2 versions of the game, one basic and a Digital Deluxe editions for PlayStation®4, Xbox One and Steam that will include a set of 25 extra costumes, 3 bonus musical tracks, a DDX exclusive Kasumi costume and an additional character, the formidable Kasumi clone, Phase-4.
And Nyotengu is Pre-Order DLC...
In an interview, they did say that not everyone would be able to return... but that still is a bad blow for me somewhat(although it would have definitively gone nuclear if Marie and Honoka was DLC for Japanese audiences

Jeez, people always complain about the jiggle physics. I think there will be a toggle in options, but man you just can't please everyone. One thing I did notice is that the fighting system has gotten way more solid than 5, and I like that. This game will definitely be a step up from the last one, also I am stoked that they want to make this game be a part of the FGT system.

*Sigh* This is why I didn't feel like doing any updates because I knew people was going to miss the point and act typical without even realizing what they said...
They said they was going to tone it down, not remove it and has said that since the 2nd day of E3. So no, some of you who keep saying that have no freaking clue of what you are even talking about them not keeping to their word when they technically still are.
I had to argue this in so many places, it honestly drained me of bringing in any DOA news because it would be more of the same: People don't want to do any news themselves so they'll listen to the same articles that do no research themselves for easy clicks.
Title: Re: Dead or Alive 6 revealed
Post by: Xhominid on September 29, 2018, 10:48:23 pm
Alright after my rant... I'm going to be doing something slightly different from now on because having people only want to post here in droves because "muh fanservice" is seriously getting droll.
So instead I'm just going to post some matches people put up on Youtube because there needs to be more than just... this:
According to those with more attentive eyes than mine, Break Blows are stupidly unsafe to the point you can punish a Break Blow with a free one on command, you can mistime Break Holds meaning that you can still mess them up and when you trigger the Danger Zone that they do(the Octopus rocking the boat), you get a free small combo opportunity from it.
And something I knew about a week or so ago but I always found it funny:
Zack actually has eyes... it's pretty weird finally seeing him without glasses for once.
Title: Re: Dead or Alive 6 revealed
Post by: R565 on September 30, 2018, 12:26:15 am
Holy shit, Zack got eyes....I thought his shades were super glued to his face. Also Xhominid, I agree with ya on that part, there's too much arguing about a simple feature, when at the end of the day it's not going to affect the combat. That break blow however.....hoo boy that's kinda rough.

It's just that past FreeStepDodge, this has consumed practically every DOA forum to the point that you can't even touch a single one without someone even they wasn't even in the DOA community whining about the fanservice. It's worse that you even see places like Eventhubs doing even more damage by basically bringing up things like the Strongest Package but trying to hide behind "We know how many fighters may be in the game" even though people guessed that from a Shimbori interview months back and Americans NEVER got a single one of those super editions and those are primarily only for the Japanese Audience.
The absolute worst part? Shimbori never stated the fanservice was disappearing or anything and they have been consistently saying that since Day 2. And I say this as a person who has consistently been reading interviews, actually bothered to watch DOA streams sponsored by Team Ninja and even watched the IGN E3 livestream. And you have these same people acting as if "they've won" when they didn't win shit.
I'm just tired of seeing this shit on so many forums that it drained my enthusiasm to spread DOA news here because it was obviously going the same route and I found it better that I actually cut it off at the past because it's damn obvious the journalists won't do it and neither of those who complain(it's ironic, this whole mess started because people believed IGN's translation over Shimbori's own words... one of the very places people say to ignore otherwise because muh gamergate and such...)
Sorry for that secondary tangent, I'll make sure to deliver some timely DOA news, gameplay and whatever when I can find it even if it's from the DOA6 Invitational at this past EVO.
And also the DOA Festival will be returning in November so I'll make sure to keep people up to date with that too.

Yeah thanks for that, It's better to actually offer some actual news and gameplay than further feed into the drama for once or let it perpetuate.
And I forgot to say this earlier because no one else will but DOA6 will be getting an Arcade Release to coincide with the game... so for those who know of that, that means that we will actually get to explore balance patches, new characters and otherwise before their release in the game.
So this is honestly great for a multitude of reasons.

From what I just watched (Thanks XHominid for the videos), it looks like that the game play, at least, retains the feel from past games: Simple to pick up and learn, but hard to master.
Are they going to announce more characters in the future, because I kind of think this game is missing a few well known characters here (Bass and Tina come to mind...)

I feel like there is going to be the mainstays except the VF fighters and guests for obvious reasons. Other than that, this game should have the core Koei Tecmo fighters.

Yeah, it's obvious they plan on announcing more at the DOA Festival in November and they are planning on having more character reveals between now and February with the only DLC(but still able to get from Pre-Orders) is Nyotengu and Phase-4.
I plan on adding in more videos(even some past ones) and more links to interviews from this point forth because the gameplay should be more acknowledged at this point.
I agree... while it was nice to see Virtua Fighter characters in DoA5, I think sticking to the core cast and adding a few newcomers would be best for DoA6.
Yeah if I remember the interview, they said they aren't focusing on guest characters at this very moment so DOA6 will most likely have no guest characters in the base game but they haven't completely taken that option away either so they can be DLC in the future.

I know that a lot of people are sick of guest characters, but without anything to help this game stand out, it would feel like a downgraded version of the last game , just like how MvCI was to MvC3, I guest the best next thing to do is to have all characters that ever showed up in the series returning + a lot of new faces.

Actually, there was plenty of things to talk about the game, they just chose not to because the "censorship" nonsense was the easiest thing anyone would digest because why pretend DOA must be an actual fighting game with actual merits because of the fact that it marketed on it's "sex sells" appeal and get those who never would even watch it to suddenly act as if it's all the game has to offer.
There was plenty of extra interviews by Shimbori about the game during the last few months, DOA6 was in PS Experience and Tokyo Game Show with plenty of people playing it and there's the news I brought up that came in during those announcements...
What's funnier is that Soul Calibur 6 is in a similar state and yet people don't skimp out on the news coverage for that game... or do what Eventhubs does and make articles about ANYTHING Capcom related, that or Smash and DBZ related. Why bother talking about other games when it's easier to make an article comparing Darkstalker Mod Outfits to Capcom's version...
Honestly, you could say the same about most fighting games released in this gen, smaller roster, slightly improved graphics and less game modes.
Atleast with DOA6, I can understand why they removed Tag Mode(basically, Tag Mode was broken for DOA5 as simply getting launched would easily put you in an Instant Death Combo with no way to stop it and it's obvious that balancing that mode alone would take enough to equal a game itself) but I'm not certain for other games.
Title: Re: Dead or Alive 6 revealed
Post by: Xhominid on October 02, 2018, 08:39:48 pm
Well, that did not take long. I'm surprised they brought Mila back as well... didn't think she was that popular in 5.
Actually she is pretty popular within the American base since she really does nail the MMA style that they was aiming for with her. The Japanese base is more iffy though.
I honestly have to say I like Tina's new outfit the most and the return of the Father Daughter Tag Team they was in DOA2 before their relationship turned rocky.
Title: Re: Dead or Alive 6 revealed
Post by: Zenotron on October 05, 2018, 10:04:18 pm
I thought part of the reason why Mila is more popular in America than in Japan is because American fans usually prefer tomboys, and she was the least fanservicey new DOA girl when she first made her debut in 5.

It seems like I have more reason to keep in touch with the DOA Festival as Tina, Mila and Bass will be playable at the demo there.
Also:
So there seems to be different sound cues whenever you before a different type of stun like in some other fighters. That's actually very helpful for beginners and pros who don't want to dig super hard for frame data.
All the current Break Blows and Danger Zones. I'm still pretty iffy on Break Blows(while Power Blows do have more oomph, I can also understand why they went to Break Blows since it's based on a bar now rather than getting it when you get to 50% so the action can keep going).
General gameplay video...god they need to work on the loading times post haste(the loading times for DOA5 was very, very quick by comparison) but I can also understand as it's still in progress.
EDIT: Maybe I should have waited a bit as there's a bit more news that someone brought in from FSD.

I think she fulfills one of the 'fetish' quotas that most people think about when they think of DoA. Specifically, the 'loli' fetish.
Title: Re: Dead or Alive 6 revealed
Post by: Bastard Mami on October 09, 2018, 04:24:27 pm
Both the loli and the flat chested quota; hence why the voting for doaxvv was so unfair , as both honoka and marie were more "unique" and got a bunch of fetish quotes, while everyone else had to share them.

That was for the females who would be in DOAX3... And there has never been a playable male character in those games.
EDIT: Another interview https://www.dualshockers.com/dead-alive-6-interview-part-1/ TL;DR -There won't be OMG mode on release(they feel it's too exaggerated from DOA5) - You can toggle the blood and face punches(for the sissies... and Japanese- OOOOHHH... no but they do say it in that interview, couldn't resist) - Kokoro and Brad Wong are super confirmed(despite the death of his VA) - DOA was already fantastical in nature, so trying to bring up why it's more realistic but then talking about Krakens and Dinosaurs isn't a good point(No seriously, the fact people tried to use this for why the fanservice was being "downgraded" for the series to be more realistic makes no sense when the past games and the universe it's connected to has monsters, ninja magic and clone technology and possible time related BS in which they explained Naotora's inclusion) - They was planning on revealing Tina, Bass and Mila at EVO and/or E3 but their schedule didn't align with it(mainly because they are American characters) - They don't regret how they've been showcasing the game since the starter trailer for DOA5 also focused primarily on Ryu and Hayate fighting before showing off everyone else(I can't exactly remember this but I do remember that Ayane and Hitomi was the first females shown so he may have a point).
EDIT: And I would be assed if I didn't show this despite it's pointless addition... but there WAS some people asking about the females' pancake asses(even in FSD some people talked about this... I was one of them...) and they worked on it for DOAX3 and well...
https://i.imgur.com/lJnTKRY.mp4

DOA Festival will be starting in 2 hours, if people aren't going to be able to watch it but want to know what happened, I'll add in a TL;DR and most likely a video of the newest fighter/s and stage or whatever.
EDIT: TL;DR - DOA Venus Vacation will be celebrating it's one year anniversary with some new outfits for all of the playable characters. 1 outfit for 5 characters and the other outfit for the other 5 - DOAX3 will be getting a new version that will come out for the PS4 and the Switch which confirmed will have Misaki playable, more info will be for that later. - Teru Rock is the winner of the final sponsored DOA5LR tourney - DOA6 has a new stage that unfortunately wasn't shown on stream called the Hanging Gardens, not sure if it's Aerial Gardens or it's a whole new stage. - DOA6 has a whole new mode where you can customize your characters freely(base outfit, accessory, hairstyle if able and even titles) and have them in premade slots. - Kokoro and Lisa returns in DOA6. Lisa is not dead and doesn't seem injured at all and Kokoro now knows that Helena is her sister. - They unveiled the new female character in Nico, a slightly taller female than Marie Rose but not as flatchested and also 18. She's apparently in league with Donovan from her trailer and is either an Android or a scientist that uses electric gloves and can teleport in her repertoire.
I'll update with her trailer when they have them up on their Youtube.
EDIT 2:
I didn't even realize it until someone from FSD pointed it out... the robot she's repairing in her trailer? That's RAIDOU as he is from DOA5... so that's confirmation that he will return in some form.

Cool, so other than the guest fighters of old, everybody is coming to the game. I think that Nico is probably a cyber enhanced human, enhanced to use electric power efficiently, but man the story is coming along very well, not to mention that the Switch will be getting some DOA love as well.

I hope the developers take their time because this game is still so generic, like EX / Fighting Layer, they should implement something cool, fresh to this franchise like every fighting game has been doing such as Sfv, fighterZ, Soulcalibur. You play those games and you notice immediately they are from this era.

Out of all characters. Wow. I guess he was ok in the last game, but I would not believe to see him this fast back on the base roster. This game better give me Tengu as well then. I mean, NyoTengu is cool and all, but that old bastard from DoA2 was part of my introduction to the series, he was so wicked that he was fun.

They cut the offical EVO twich stream because it was "too sexy" for EVO...
They need to get their facts straight. Mai Shiranui is from Fatal Fury first and foremost. She was King of Fighters second.
No, not really, her debut may have been in Fatal Fury, but that franchise didn't have a game in ages now, while King of Fighters did have many and Mai was always a staple of the series. Basically people know and care about King of Fighters, nobody gives a flying fuck about Fatal Fury anymore. Its kind of the same situation with Morrigan in the Versus series, she became a staple while her own franchise is, so far, dead (though Darkstalkers at least had Ressurection, which is more than Fatal Fury got).

Second KOF character? Hmm...
My thoughts;
- Terry Bogard; Probably the face of SNK, also debuted in Fatal Fury, already in plenty of Crossovers. However, with Diego being brawler type, that would feel a bit redundant with Terry maybe. - Kyo Kusanagi; The main protagonist of KoF. Could work, bringing the Kusanagi style to DoA. - Iori Yagami; He is popular, and got a different enough fighting style. - Athena Asamiya; DoA does love them girls, Athena is recognizable, and also Athena and DoA sure loves clothing costumization. - Leona Heidern; Somehow doubt it, but also somewhat possible. She is popular, also got irregular hair colour which DoA also loves. - Geese Howard; The badass himself. He did cross over to Tekken, which makes me think he is less likely, but could be interesting to see in DoA style. - Yuri Sakazaki; The only actual Art of Fighting star that I would believe got a chance. Fits DoA.
If the character is another pick outside of those I've just mentioned I'd be utterly in shock. Still, any KOF character transformed into 3D is sweet in my eyes.

Shermie, Hinako, Ash Crimson, Elizabeth and Duck King were not in KoF XIV.
So, we can all just acknowledge right now that the character is obviously Xanadu.
Yeah, no. It said Mai was from KoF XIV, but the post says the guest comes from King of Fighters, without any specifications, which means that literally anyone from the franchise can fit in, and I must remind you people that there was no promise of this second character being female either.

Finally read an article on the incident at Evo Japan today... I can't really fault Tecmo for "sexing" it up a little since DoA has been known as the series with sex appeal. I also understand why they cut out the feed and said what they said... and in way, the people who complain also have a point.
Mortal Kombat is known for it's violence and it's OK while DoA's sex appeal isn't... Well, a good chunk watching are Americans and remember anything sexual is bound to be controversial here... violence, not so much (unless it's anything like Hatred).

I don't mind what is her actual age. She looks and act like underage.
Actually, DOA don't have real loli, but when I see what they did with Marie and Nico, I can just feel bad for Kula to come. In fact, I don't mind, the game is going in a direction I really don't like for choice of characters, beside of Diego who is refreshing.
I just regret that this game, that was inspired by Virtua Fighter series continues to get more far from "real" martial arts, for other choices
Kula, might be good... but certainly not my preference in term of actual design and fighting style.

Anyway, still glad to see Mai around, they seems to give her some new moves comared to DOA5. Even if most seems to be for this new game system stuff (I forgot the name) Her super move seems really bland and without power on it. KOF XIV did a better job there.
Overall she looks great, beside he face, that looked better in DOA5.
I really hope they will continue with new characters even if they are not from special licences.

Tamaki, a character from Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation joins to the roster of Dead or Alive 6 starting March 10!
I feel like the character will be boring and rushed.
I can be wrong of course... But I have the feeling new doa content/animations are too expensive to product.
So, they tend to add less of them. I think they just try attract ppl by using the "new girl" method, like they did several times.
I still hope I'm wrong and the character to be complete and interesting, beside of the 3D model.
Rushed? When was the last time the game had a DLC character? Regardless, I fail to see how one character would be "too expensive to product", that makes literally zero sense. Though, considering this game comes from Tecmo-Koei, I wouldn't be surprised if all characters currently in it were made with a Dynasty/Samurai Warriors approach, in which many of the models and animations are recycled from the previous one, with only a slightly improved quality, so yeah, considering that an entirely new character (sort of) would require animations being made from scratch, maybe this girl was more expensive than the rest, just not "too expensive to product" in general.
Game is pretty much a failure and they're baiting the gatcha players to buy the game.
A failure in the west, but probably not in Japan. To be fair, I cannot tell if them literally selling hair color change in the game (not selling colors, mind you, selling a color change, which means if you want to change back to the original, you gotta pay again) means they're desperate to make money from the smallest thing, since they're not getting much or if they're getting so much money from everything they currently have, that they're being even bigger pieces of shit and trying to make money of literally everything.

The director of DoA6. The dude has a history of being quite the divided person. In interviews, he said he wanted to make DoA6 more eSport friendly... yet, in other interviews he was all for the sex appeal. He was the same way when it came to any characters from the Xtreme series: He said that no one from there would be in the core game... yet we have Tamaki in the game as DLC.
It also doesn't help that the game has a massive truckload of DLC that is obscenely expensive. The Season Passes are for a combined total of $345! Who the fuck has that kind of money?!?!

Maybe that's the best for some of us, I don't know...it's a shame that the sixth game eventually killed the whole series entirely.
Lets not go too far, darling, even Koei would not stupid enough to go as far as killing a franchise for one failed game. Dead Or Alive is too easy to milk money from, remember, despite them being apparently aware that DoA6 went too far, they still got away with the bullshit in DoA5, which was a LOT.

Unless Shimbori is responsible for all the Warriors series as well, I don't think the DLC excess is his fault, not entirely, its more like Koei themselves. Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors (not sure if Warriors Orochi too) all have some pretty ridiculous DLC practices as well, the most notable one being the excess, followed closely by recycled content.

Post by: Niitris on April 02, 2020, 09:56:40 am
The DLC nonsense was obviously Koei Tecmo. They kept pushing how far they could milk their fans and went over the edge with the hair color nonsense.
I don't know who (between Team Ninja, KT, and the western competitive community who was in their ear) was responsible for this mess, so I'll just say they all have blame to share as to why the game failed.
They want to make an e-sports game, but you can't play with friends at launch because no lobbies? Who seriously thought that was acceptable? Any chance the game might have had was finished right there.
Apparently no Tag Mode was because of the graphical improvements, mentioned months after they confirmed it wouldn't be present. I wish they would've been more transparent about that from the beginning, rather than let people speculate as to why it went missing.
You finally give basic customization features, but you pay for custom features that other games let you do for free... huh?
Not helped by weird changes (lol meter) that did nothing to fix gameplay issues that competitive players really have with the game. Or off-tone additions like blood filled, FPS styled screen effects.
Then there's Kasumi and her awful redesign, important since it's the main character. In a desperate attempt to show e-sports people that "we're more mature" or whatever, I wonder how many of those people actually bought/played the game (I'll guess a total of 5, for about a week).
Can't say I'd care much about any future games if this is the best they can do. But if they do get a chance at a new game, hopefully it'll be better planned out than this.

This is a huge mess.. the problem? I highly doubt Koei Tecmo is going to learn their lesson when it comes to the DLC prices.
That makes money for them. That $345 goes to probably something else they have cooking or whatever. I don't know how that works.
To me, DoA holds a soft spot since DoA2 Hardcore was one of my first PS2 games. It was fun to play, the tag team mechanic was awesome, the arcade mode was simple fun and just the right amount of cheesy. The characters looked great at the time and it was worth it.
Now? Well, the series does maintain the look of the Hollywood Starlet that I always considered to be: Beautiful to look at, but not the brightest apple on the tree... if you know what I mean.
