LEON?!!! No Leon still?!

 

[KevinFace]

Leon for DLC.

 

[randomguy]

Leon? You mean Bayman :P (sorry wanted to be a jerk)

LEON?!!! No Leon still?!

Nope. Ein before Leon. In truth, I'd like to see Hitomi's father using Ein's moveset, but the fangirls will want Ein despite him already being in the game. Why? Look at this picture while listening to this. Then you'll understand. BISHOUNEN!

Sarcasm aside, I seriously hope they don't do this.

Yeah, I don't agree with having Ein in the game, considering Hayate is already there. Duplicate characters are a no-no for me, especially when that space could/can be used for new characters.

Spoiler: Ein question

Hayate is Ein, just with his memory restored, right? So... we really don't need Ein then.

WE don't. But the fangirls do.

 

[Rakkar]

If he's really the same guy there's no reason they can't just make "EIN" a costume dlc for hayate or whoever he is. There's no reason to make him an entire new character...

 

[daman077c]

Well, here's the thing: Hayate and Ein are indeed the same person, but Ein uses a karate fighting style like Hitomi, whereas Hayate is ninjutsu. So it's not so easy as just adding Ein costume parts to Hayate.

 

[randomguy]

Anothergutter, To be fair, we want "X female" character for the same reasons.



that being said we do not need Ein

So... I see there's some new screenshots of this new character Momiji here... (???? ?? ???? 5 ?????????????????????? - ????.com) I don't know anything about Ninja Gaiden on how she's like (importance, personality, fighting style...), but having another girl is always a plus for DOA (of course!).
I'm pretty sure this is the only one out of the lot that will be of most interest here... (somewhat surprised they used it as a preview picture, but... I'm not complaining.)

First Trailer For “Dead Or Alive 5 Ultimate”

Interesting trailer with a very new stage in which... well... you'll have to see for yourself.

I actually did a little celebration at the very end of the trailer though... now I can't wait for the game :D

I don't know anything about Ninja Gaiden on how she's like (importance, personality, fighting style...)

She's a polite miko/kunoichi, trained by Ryu. With her balanced style of power and speed, she support Ryu in his heroic quest in NG. And be playable in some games of the series too.
A good helper, that the developer loves to give her a good variety of costumes.

Great news.
Too bad there's a rumor that the game may come out as a new game instead of updated DLC. I'm sure in that case, you likely get many existed DLC costumes though.

Just saw the trailer, shoutouts to Leon coming back from the desert sands to join up. Now nearly all you guys no longer have to rely on Bayman and Bass to get a handle on our favorite girls (lol). From the looks of the amount of improvements and additions they showed (new poses, attack variants, possibly new ways to set up the Critical Blow attack and whatnot), It looks to be a straight up new disc (thought it's mentioned that it'll also come as a digital download) that may include everything from DOA5 on it from the start (perhaps with a previous game save on your console) at a discounted price (maybe $40, like BlazBlue Continuum Shift and Super Streeet Fighter IV/Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom). Just an educated guess, since they did that before with 2U and 3 back on the normal Xbox, and that seems to be the normal business quota for fighters this generation.

Personally, I enjoyed DOA5 a lot (even outside the ryona) so I'll definitely be picking this up Day 1. I also highly doubt the current TN wouldn't pump up the content to make it worth another disc since they seem to be pantering to their fans a lot with 5/5U. I'm just curious about who indeed would be coming back and who will be added to the roster that's straight up new. It may not seem like a large pool (though I bet we'll get someone else from Virtua Fighter as well) but I really think the roster's gonna make or break this being worth the effort for a lot of other people who already invested. Time to wait and see.

(P.S.: Thanks for answering, NNin. I was halfway thinking about trying out NG3: Razor's Edge just to see if I'd like it or not. Plus, Momiji seems right up my alley in what I like in a game gal. It's worth a shot I guess.)

 

[onlinehero]

Whaaat?!
No dlc?!?!? Have to buy full game?!??! Again?!?!?!

 

[Raden]

Nothing quite like a good kick in the ass for early buyers, eh? I guess I'm going to stop buying games new and just get the full one for cheaper a year later.

 

[randomguy]

If they add more content to the game, like a few more characters, some new stages, and the DLC outfits, I'd buy. I still feel SSF4 gave me enough content from characters extra modes and new ultras for the characters, that the game felt a like a sequel running on the same engine but with enough new. Right now it still feels DLC. If they throw in the 3 old bosses, a new character, and maybe one or two more Virtua Fighter characters(Eileen would be super) then I will buy.

I also actually enjoyed playing DOA 5...as a game. It is still the only DOA game I think had good gameplay....and yet it is the lowest rated DOA game by fans because not enough boobie outfits...good to see where their proprieties lie >.>

nothing wrong with fanservice(look at the site we are on) but I still find it silly to buy a game solely for it but meh it's their money.

Well, here's the thing: Hayate and Ein are indeed the same person, but Ein uses a karate fighting style like Hitomi, whereas Hayate is ninjutsu. So it's not so easy as just adding Ein costume parts to Hayate.

That doesn't make any sense to me, how does one guy use 2 different fighting styles? Either he's Ein or he's Hayate, or he's some guy who lost his memory and doesn't have a fighting style. I've never heard of a martial arts expert getting amnesia and suddenly learning a different style.
Is he some guy who just knows 10 different styles because he's ninja bro and when he lost his memory he chose a different one or wut

 

[randomguy]

according to DOA's story Hayate was captured by DOATECH and his memories were wiped. After losing his memory Hitomi's father took him in(well at the time Hitomi was not a character but saying her father to save time) he was a master at the style and taught "Ein"(really Hayate taking a new name because he can't remember his real one) the style to him and trained along with his daughter.

During the events of DOA2 "Ein" regains his memory, remembering his true name and who he really is going back to his Ninja Clan.

Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate Ein and Jacky are confirmed. Also some new outfits and stages.
