Ryona:
So let's get to the ryona part, which is one of the best in any fighting game I've ever seen.
Each character has at least 10 different throws, and some have over 30. Wow. Depending on your and enemy's stance, you can do throws on crouching opponents, throws on grounded opponents and much more. Then there are tag throws, super powerful moves that really bash the down the skull of the unfortunate girl. There are no red mist effects when attacks connect, and no flashy moves so you can observe the hits landing in their true potential.
You can choose between japanese or english voices, so you can pick your poison.
Basic attacks and advanced attacks are easy to pull off, but when it comes to advanced combos, I give up. For example, for the life I cannot pull off Ryu's Izuna Drop, which while very strong is likely meant for people with four arms, haha.
OH MY GOD, THE CAMERA CONTROL IS EXCELLENT!!!! DID YOU HEAR THAT ONLINEHERO??? By going into Extras -> Spectator you can set out two AI fighters to duke it out among themselves. At any time press left on Dpad and the action stops. There is NO camera movement annoyance like in the DOA4. Unfortunately I haven't yet figured out how to save replays of battles. *sad face*
I'm currently working on unlocking girls' costumes. Not counting swimsuits, these are the amount of costumes per girl:
- Kasumi - 6
- Ayane - 6
- Leifang - 8 (oh god she's hot in costume 8)
- Kokoro - 6
- Christie - 5
- Tina - 6
- Lisa / La Mariposa - 6
- Helena - 5
- Hitomi - 6
- Mila - 6
- Sarah - 2
- Pai - 2
- Alpha152 - most likely 2, probably color swaps
The game offers several fighting modes.
- Story lets you experience the story of DOA5.
- Versus mode.
- Arcade mode consists of 8 battles, and you must win 2 out of 3 battles.
- Time attack mode with same battle specs as Arcade.
- Survival mode where you have to battle thru 100 opponents with 1 life bar.
- Training mode.
Here's a couple of additional goodies that might interest ryona lovers.
- As the girl gets thrown against the ground, her clothes and skin get dirtied which visibly shows.
- If your girl happens to lose, she is shown lying / sitting on the ground, breathing heavily, and sweatdrops fall off her cheek / slide down her boob.
Collecting costumes is done in following ways:
- Beat story mode to get 2 Kasumi-specific costumes.
- Beat Arcade / Time attack / Survival mode couple of times (but if you beat Arcade on rookie difficulty, you have to choose higher difficulty for next costume).
- Getting skimpy swimsuits is done a bit differently. Play Survival on Legend difficulty to face Lisa as final opponent - defeat her for her swimsuit. Play Solo Time Attack on Legend to face Christie as final opponent - beat her for the swimsuit. Play Arcade on Legend to face Tina as final opponent - defeat her for the swimsuit.
In order to save a replay, play a Versus Match. After it's done, you have the option to "Save Replay". Do so, and then enter the Spectator menu, choose which replay you want to view and there you go. As I said, camera controls are waaaay better than DOA4. Camera does not move at all, and you can take many desired angles you dreamed of, but could never get right.
Here's a sample of what I want to do with the game's content.
