DoAU is the outlier.
This game has a comparable amount of costumes and content for any other release in the series. Except maybe part 1, and then only the females had a lot of outfits. And there were only a few females.

Helena's english voice is sooo good. I love the French accent.
New tag partners (from FSD) :
1. Sarah/Akira
2. Sarah/Pai
3. Pai/Akira
4. Rig/Bass
5. Hitomi/Lei fang
6. Tina/Sarah
7. Mila/Tina
8. Bass/Mila
9. Helena/Kokorro
10. Rig/Jann lee
11. Akira/Kokorro
One of the throws for Rig and Jann lee is from Ein and Jann lee exactly.
Finished story mode with all missions, loved it, I wanted more. T_T
Regarding CB, honestly it's useless now with 4 hits like it doesn't exist, from 8 hours I used it only twice and because of bonus missions in story mode.

How much is in this compared to the other games isn't really the point.
It looked to me like a lot of the older costumes were missing, which means there's a lot of room for DLC with just that.
But then there's also the possibility for more original outfits and swimsuits.
After watching the video with all the females outfits, I can only think that there's a ton of DLC on the way, because I see so much possibility.
I wasn't complaining about it. I'm not thinking about canceling my CE pre-order or anything. I was just stating that I think there's going to be a lot of DLC.

Oh, sure! That's fine by me, personally. If they wanna release enough costumes to compete with or even surpass DOA2U I'm game for it. Soul Calibur V made costume pieces into a whole campaign. I see no problem with DOA doing it with outfits when it's been their schtick for years anyway. Especially if they're packed together the right way.

He told me to post it. But I get what you're saying.
And also: embargoes are for press, not consumers. No offense to Jared and of course the best thing to do is just honor his request not too, but if a stream does pop up, it's there job to take it down. I feel no guilt in watching/linking. The game's in MANY hands at this point, anyway.
I mean, it's funny when you think about it: what's left for any embargo to protect? What don't we know? What haven't we heard?
Fine with me for this game.

For one the game probably has a day 1 patch in development and people are being shown an unfinished netcode. The game that was illegaly sold as well.

I was hoping to see Mila/Zack and Rig/Hitomi because of their styles.

Those aren't the only ones, just the ones so far. Probably some other new ones.
I know, but once it's out there, it's out there. No use fighting it.

I didn't expect Sega to allow them to show Sarah and Pai in swimsuits, but it looks like they completely killed any alternate outfits altogether.
And yes, this game is going to have DLC out the ass. I expect one or two new characters and maybe up to five outfits per girl character.

Characters have explicitly been ruled out. Why didn't you expect Sega to let Srah and Pai have swim suits? They have them in VF5:FS.

I guarantee you one of the agreements of letting them use the characters in the game was that they had to feature them in their normal outfits. I find the complete lack of any adventurous outfits bizarre.

Can anyone confirm if you can remove Lisas wrestler mask when you select her shiny white wrestler outfit? She looks way better without that stupid mask IMO.
Also, Im disappointed her red outfit with the thigh high boots from DoA4 is gone. On the flipside her silver swimsuit is great

They have swim suits though. You know that, right? They come with the CE.

Good choice of costumes and nice design overall: some of them are brilliant, some a bit on the bland side (but it's always been like that in fighting games with multiple outfits per character, so it's not a big deal at all).
Just hope Team Ninja will take advantage of DLCs in order to bring back some classic stuff from previous DoAs.
Man, if I think I still have to wait more than a whole week... Jeez. X_X
Wanna play this game so bad.
Edit - one question guys: I've seen that video showing game options and I dont think I noticed anything like that... Can you confirm there's no single character english/japanese voice switch (as in SFIV/SFxT)?

Anyone picking up the strategy guide?
I picked up the guide for TTT2 and that one ended up being very useful and I'm beginning to wonder if DOA5's will be the same.

You can stll order the 360 version on the GS website. I actually went into a gamestop Friday to preorder the 360 version but the guy said they were only getting one, and it was spoken for already.
while it would be handy i don't think it matters here.
According to impressions both versions perform fine and Team Ninjas previous game doesn't give reasons to worry about a big performance disparity.
The most important differentiator is probably wich console your friends use/which console is more popular in your region.

So, I havent been following the game very closely, but did they remove that charge move where you direct your opponent towards stage hazards? It seems completely gone from all versions save for the original demo.
My friends don't buy fighting games aside from VF. It boils down to which version is the best in my case.
Nope, still in there. You can only do it when you're below 50% health though, and it's apparently quite easy to counter.
It's available but it's different command for each character.
RT or R2 or K+H and left, have fun, Hitomi is so good, she can hold both mid and high punches with 6H.Being a complete noob in DOA, how do you back face an opponent on your own? I couldn't progress with the command training as I couldn't figure it out. Using Hitomi if that helps. Thanks for any help

Hitomi can't freely turn herself around, so you have to do it with a move. Try something like left+RT.
edit: or what Mesh said ^

i don't know details for hitomi but some attacks end in a back facing stance. I'd try some of the high kicks.
However in my experience the training mode puts you in the correct position automatically, so it's strange that this isn't the case here. Maybe there is a setting you could change?
beaten, twice.
the game is out next week. The soundtrack comes with the CE, i don't know if it's availabe separately.
Yes, normally they are positioned in the correct position, but not for attacks that require you in a back facing opponent stance.
thanks guys, got it with 4 H+K.
Christie vs. Lisa Swimsuit Gameplay
21 Minutes of Ranked Online (From a player who wholly admits he's not good at the game)
Though he recommends getting the game, his initial impressions about the online quality are a mixed bag. At first he says that it's not as bad as Tekken 6. On his second match, he says that it's smooth with no noticeable lag. On the third, there are hiccups to which he says it's like Tekken 6 and sort of like SCV. "It's not bad, not great. It's pretty good." He says.
I suppose with the rumor that there is a day-1 patch addressing a few things, one of which being netcode, you should take the above video with a grain of salt because things will (more than likely) be different on launch day.

Well I bet they will do tons of outfits Swimsuits and non T&A costumes. The thing is wait for everything to happen.
I'd actually be OK with reasonably priced DLC for this- say 500 points to add 1 new outfit for everyone ? 500 points for 1 new level ?
Then for anyone too lazy / poor to buy them on release, just do a jumbo pack 6 months down the road with everything for 1000 points or something.
Also needs to be said that it'd be very surprising if DOA5 didn't get a wii U release , likely including everything and anything downloadable , they could even have a wii U version of the metroid stage in there. ....
Tuesday can't come soon enough, so far it still seems like it will make it out on the 25th in canada so that's good.

I need Ayane's raccoon swimsuit, so we're going to have to get some more swimsuits.
There hasn't been a single song in any of the footage I've seen thus far that has jumped out at me beyond what sounds like a remix of Zero Hour and Ein's theme playing in that one Mila/Tina cutscene.
It's pretty disappointing, tbh, especially considering how amazing DoA2 and DoA4 are in this department (and DoA
, to a lesser extent).that's a lot of lisa
I hope they handle the DLC like the musou games. Tons of DLC costumes bundles for 1-2 bucks.

I wish they bought back the Xbox TGS outfits. That was definitely including the kitchen sink right there.

Well that seems disappointing as all hell. So if that's useless, then I suppose its just a better playing DOA4 or are there broader system changes that I should read up on? The OP is kind of scarce on the nitty gritty details on the added mechanics.
Not Yet
Yeah, their costume design is actually really top-class, and arguably much more interesting than the swimsuits.
I'd like to see themed costume packs, personally. Christmas/Holidays, Alternative Profession, Race Queens, High Fashion, Men in Uniforms, etc...
I love how Kasumi's black ninja outfit actually has at least her traditional top stuffed under there, as well as blue ribbons. It's a nice little detail, they do such a good job at keeping the characters with themes and styles that seem to fit them, no matter how drastic they may appear at first.
Well, the Super-blow like things can be landed for "free" after you chain up enough stuns for a Critical burst. And I'm not entirely sure, but it looks like many characters might be able to cancel their super-like move into other moves? So while the move should be easy to counter if thrown out stupidly (Like everything SHOULD be), setups and mixups should be highly possible!
