Dead or Alive 5/Ninja Gaiden 3 thread

[Onyxe Beart]

There was something about the woman's face in the that first image actually reminded me of Nina's TTT2 face (character model). I'm actually not being sarcastic or joking about that. XD Her SFxT model too....

This is why you make a good nemesis dusk. Nothing like Nina's TTT2 model, but agree on Street Fighter X Tekken. Hitomi looks really goofy this time around, but cute goofy. Tina looks very nice in all seriousness. Dead or Alive 5 graphics is just divine. Hoepfully the next reveal will actually show off Mila or Rig next.

Is there a problem with VF characters being in DOA? It's only Akira, Sarah and Pai.

Of course there is no problem. I didn't see anyone bitching or complaining when guest characters made it to Soul calibur 2 or 4.

Oh my GOD !!! KOKORO MY SWEET GIRL !!! (cannot stop fangasming at how awesome she looked in that trailer)

* goes to work on a new kokoro signature *

This trailer looked even more awesome when i saw Sarah at the end <3, cannot wait to see Helena and Pai !

@Onyxe: you make me LOL everytime you talk about nina and when you have those Diva dirt talks with dusk over Nina xD, I can't get into it because i love those characters evenly . Should you want a Nina signature, PM me.

@Dusk: Same to you for a Sarah signature, if you have any images in mind.

Don't you mean saw no one bitching or complaining about SC2, Broken Destiny, and 5's guests Crim? I saw nothing but complaining and bitching about SC4's however. I always see SC4 mentioned as the shining example for how not to do guest characters.

VF character as guest characters in DOA though is guest characters gone horribly horribly right. Especially with the VF team even helping with development a little now. That's just win win for everyone guests.

It's why I like bugging Beart, a insult to Sarah is like a bigger insult to Nina since those girls are seperated at birth.

Neh, Lili is my all time fav. I never even used the Juri ones. Then again when it came to Juri's SFxT art, her face in it freaked me right the fuck out, she looks like a freaking turtle! (Villian in a half shell, Juri power!) Still better than SFxT render art roid raged Chun-Li. I want the SFxT render artist banned from ever being allowed to do art ever again.

Exactly what i am talking about. It seems that the VF character fit in nicely and do not look or feel invasive to the slightest minimum.

Its me or Fang, Kokoro and Pai have very similar faces?

[Onyxe Beart]

Oh thank you Mai for offer, but am pretty happy with the various avatars I use now. Besides am using a Nina avatar at the comic book forum am apart of. Anyways please do continue to enjoy me putting Dusk to shame The only problem with the VF characters in DOA is they choose Pai over Brad, Goh, Wolf, Kage, and Aoi? YUCK! Also Kokoro and Lei-Fang always look alike, but Pai base on her VF5 looks has a total different appearance.

[TheDuskwalker]

Not a Pai fan huh?

Yeah me either, I much prefer Aoi to Pai when it comes to the VF Asian ladies. Better than Project X Zone though, only VF reps for it so far is Akira and Pai. Then the SF reps are Ryu, Ken, and Chun, and Tekken is Jin and Ling... You can tell the creative juices were flowing when those 3 picked there fighting game reps from there signature fighters for that game. "Woo, we all 3 have the same roster! *brofits*" A game with VF and Tekken characters, yet there isn't a Sarah and Nina showdown? That's a whole new level of roster fails.

If I don't see some Sarah, Lili/Asuka team, Cammy (Juri is confirmed in the game as at least a boss), Nina (as at least a boss like Juri) in PxZ, shits going down!

GURL PREACH! Also am sick of seeing Chris every fucking where. Jill is okay because she isn't cosplaying Nina this time around. Capcom and SEGA have shit taste and Namco has a moment of fail every now and then. Perhaps Nina and Sarah should travel together like Sakura and Karin in NamcoXCapcom. Shit will go down if Nina is no more than some fucking punching bag and easier to take down all the Final Fantasy bosses combine. My heart already broke when I saw my precious Q Bee being nothing more then an enemy.

From a gameplay standpoint, no. From a substance standpoint, yes. DoA is always trying to catch up to Tekken in quality and hype, and they needed 3 perennial VF characters (and I'm also suspecting Kage in there based on the E3 trailer, could be wrong) to even accomplish this, if only for a brief moment? Maybe it's a cross-promotion to help out VF5 Final Showdown or some half-baked scheme Tecmo/Koei invented out of desperation, but whatever the case, it doesn't illicit any hype for me.

Then again, I've hated this franchise since DoA3. So what do I know, right?

DOA5 gamespot preview talking about 3 mechanics.

http://e3.gamespot.com/story/6381309/three-big-changes-for-dead-or-alive-5

Power blows have been nerfed, now can only be used after health is below 50%.

Of course Tag, still like how it's been with the only addition currently being tag power blows that can be done when both your characters have below 50% health.

Last is critical burst. An attack you can do in a short time frame while attacking, when a portion of the opponents life bar flashes silver while attacking you can do this which will put your opponent in a crumple state so you can start a new combo or use a power blow. Probably made because of how impractical power blows were, so the power blow nerf ties in nicely with this. Current build has no limitations on critical bursts, but they're looking into ways to keep it from being exploited.

I have to, but I like to give chances especially when I see a lot of effort being put in. This is definitely a very different ballgame from Ninja Gaiden 3 which looks like crap from day 1, this game has been nothing but impressive.

Sure, might not deliver in the end but optimism never killed me

I SOOO have a thing for Kasumi's black outfit. She looks amazing ....

Tina ... Le sigh ... that kill blow that she has is just ... i can't think of a word besides "japanese" to describe it. Why the hell do they think that an attack using the butt would actually be so damaging ... Especially if her ass isn't that big :S

[Mikel]

Agreed she does.

I am excited to see some Sarah gameplay, and if there were to be DLC characters, Aoi better be included.

Oh, and Mai: Cute avatar and sig.

[Mai~Crimsonheart]

@ Mikel: AWWWWWWW thanks <3

I Actually feel that Sarah would feel right at home in DOA, mainly because i do see a little bit of similarity between her and Kasumi. I mean ... come on, if Akira can look so badass doing what he does with his controls (i hate how he is controlled, the moves don't mesh well with me ), then i am SURE that Sarah would look/feel the same, if not better.
