[Westlo]

she's not wearing miniskirts and bathing suits in Tekken.

not yet, i believe in based harada,

 

[ShinMaruku]

Lol they can simply not use her but making this drama over the character is funny and gives me reasons to main her.

Same here. I am dying in that thread.

 

[Loona]

I forgot to ask - the the DLC characters ever get character-specific tag team attacks with anyone?
I also wonder if Raidou and the new girl will... doesn't sound like a lot of people in the game would be in good enough terms with Ayane's dad for that, but who knows... Lisa? Christie?

Spoiler

Rig?

That doesn't solve everything. I dislike having to fight against Marie since I don't like having to beat up a little girl. It would probably be easier for me to accept playing as her then against.

In Ultimate no (apart from Marie calling Helena differently), but new tag team entrances/endings/interactions/moves were teased in previous Last Round trailers (like Marie and Eliott or Ayane and Nyotengu).

 

[ShinMaruku]

For sheer trolling potential Ayane and her father should have a tag team. :E

What does Marie say to Helena? And why..?

 

[omlet]

I don't know what she actually says because I've never tried it, but Marie works for Helena or something, I think?

 

[YoshiStrife]

Whaaaat. This is news to me.

God, I hope they add to the damn story in LR.

 

[omlet]

Whaaaat. This is news to me.

I can't remember where I read that... I checked the wiki to see if it clarified and all it says is this:

Marie seems to be respectful to Helena, referring to her as "my lady" in their tag team alliance when Marie calls her. In Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, their friendly relationship is made quite clear, as they are both seen giving a curtsy to their opponents in their tag introduction.

 

[ShinMaruku]

Marie calls Helena lady because Helena is nobility and Marie knows the old European forms of address.

Christmas costumes

 

[Squire]

....................................................................................................................................................

Whatever. Let's just get to January so se can see the new character.

 

[ShinMaruku]

Christmas costumes

MMMMMMM. Me want Misty and her clone and Ayane and Momiji in gift wrap.

Christmas costume trailer

[Hours Left]

Male costumes are slowly working their way back in. I kinda want that kinky Ein reindeer getup.

 

[bon]

Ayane's costume looks like she's being swallowed by the snowman.

 

[Eolz]

Sweet Jesus at those christmas costumes.

Spoiler

I know some people love it but I don't think lewd costumes like this fit Momiji. Nyotengu obviously wears it better.

Lol at Ein.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

I thought I'd like the ribbon outfits, but after seeing the video, I think they kinda suck.
The girls are covered in so much ribbon, I wouldnt even classify these outfits as skimpy (by DoA standards). No bare ass or anything. Im not buying this stuff.
I will concede that Helena looks great in red though.

 

[omlet]

Marie calls Helena lady because Helena is nobility and Marie knows the old European forms of address.

Is that all there is to it? I mean, what I read could have easily just been some speculation and not anything official. Maybe they'll add some story mode to explain in more detail later.

Also, can't say I'm a fan of those new Christmas costumes. I already have Marie's other one, won't be getting this one.

 

[Eolz]

Marie Rose is canonically Helena's maid.
TN already said they won't add new story details before DOA6

Spoiler

(or DOAX3 lol)

, but I'm pretty sure we'll see her come back, and maybe get some details on why she's a systema user while being a maid for Helena.
Same for Nyotengu that came to the game, supposedly for a mix of being bored and wanting to fight the one (Ryu) who killed Bankotsubo.

You can get more details on the official website.

Bedecked in a maid uniform and shrouded in mystery. Despite her sweet and childlike appearance, Marie Rose is a formidable fighter in the Russian martial art of Systema. Who is she really, and what other secrets are hiding behind that devilish smile?

Deep in the mountains of Japan, legends of a mysterious and beautiful female Tengu have been passed down from ages old. She is said to have descended into the human world out of simple boredom, but what could her true motives be...?

I'd be behind you but only Kstoute's wife has an ass.

 

[Skilletor]

I laughed.

 

[ShinMaruku]

Probably gonna do another weekend lobby.

 

[Hubb]

You are the worst.

He sounds like the best.

 

[Nori Chan]

He sounds like the best.

He really is

 

[ShinMaruku]

Without doubt.

DoA on PC just passed the 2nd reward tier. Guess enough people aren't put off by the "no online" for however long they decide. No idea how much they low-balled the PC preorder numbers. Here's to hoping they hit the 3rd as well.

I preordered and made my fan work of spreading the word of the PC version. Some friends jumped in and some dont mind about the online as we mostly play local.

 

[ShinMaruku]

PC is just side pennies for them. Their dlc margins are off the charts.

As long as those pennies are enough to convince them to release DoA6 on PC.

 

[ShinMaruku]

With Koei I pray it sells, because they can be harsh. But they are pleased with Hayashi since he's taking over there.

 

[Skilletor]

I'll be preordering after the holidays. Buying a TE2 wasted my personal fun funds for the month, haha.

 

[Augemitbutter]

maybe the mods will convince them. or not.

 

[Niitris]

Showstoppers Encore pre-order:

 

[Ultimadrago]

That Black and Yellow Gold Mila

Laaaaawd

 

[omlet]

That's actually a pretty nice set of costumes.

Spoiler

Where's Marie's

 

[Mesharey]

They're just recolor costumes.

 

[ShinMaruku]

Black and gold however make them different enough to some people. And as for me kinda reminds me of this

So it's special to me. :E

 

[Ermac]

I like Rachel's. Those costumes should really be 1 dollar..

 

[YoshiStrife]

All costumes should be a dollar >_>

 

[Vazra]

All costumes should be a dollar >_>

Actually they should make tons of outfits and recolors of outfits and sell them for 50 cents. Money flying towards them and no one would complain about recolors considering how dirty cheap it would be.

 

[Eolz]

Yeah, only Nyotengu's chinese dress is really worth it in this pack, didn't see it already

 

[ShinMaruku]

All costumes should be a dollar >_>

That would force them to make costumes much faster.

If anybody wants a weekened lobby let me know. I am deep in the throes of Oneechanbara

 

[Squire]

They're just recolor costumes.

I didn't think they could get any lazier, but here we are.

I really like Christies though, I admit.

These are included on the disc for LR, btw. You can see Helena and Nyo fighting each other in these costumes in the US version of the trailer.

 

[Lyte Edge]

They're just recolor costumes.

I didn't think they could get any lazier, but here we are.

-_-

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Those recolors are pretty terrible overall. The Rachel one looks the worst. Very amateurish.
Christies black costume is the exception and looks pretty good though.

 

[ShinMaruku]

Roll call for lobby.

 

[Shun]

Apparently there's an underwear toggle alongside hairstyle in the character select options menu...
