I haven't unlocked them all but apparently most characters have only 3 while some others have 4, Ayane has 5 though.Lyte Edge said:

it might be a minimum of three each. i already unlocked four for Lei Fang. she had a lot more than that in DOA4, so i don't know if that is all of hers.Lyte Edge said:

Chorazin said:Wooo unlocked Christie before bed last night, gonna hit the Arcade mode with her at lunch. I was pretty good with her in DOA4 so I'm hoping I can continue that in DOA. Her snake style or whatever is so cool looking.
I hope she has some good costumes!
christie is my favourite in all of the doa games where she is in <3
her style is just so unique
Game does look really good in motion (particularly in 2D). I understand halving the framerate for 3D, but it's a shame they actually halve the interludes as well. The non-fighting segments run at 30 fps in 2D mode and 15 fps in 3D mode. Looks extremely choppy.

yeah. you should at least through chornicle in 3D though, it's got some lovely 3d effects and composition.Kuran said:
I activated Street Pass and Spot Pass and was able to get the Kasumi Costume for today. I haven't really left the 3ds in Sleep mode much since I got it. Can someone tell me if it makes a difference if I leave wifi activated while the system is in sleep mode or not? Also will this drain the battery quickly?

SpotPass works fine while you're in wifi mode (well you actually need it for SpotPass). Not sure if StreetPass is disabled while you are in wifi or not though. I've heard different opinions on that.
I generally take my 3DS everywhere with me in sleep mode and lasts all day without losing much battery life. I have a full bar when I get home at the end of the day. WiFi is always activated (not necessarily connected to a hub though).
DSmalls84 said:
Well if you don't leave wifi on you won't get SpotPass content. It will drain the battery, but leaving wifi on all the time is what makes SpotPass and StreetPass awesome.
I've championed the Nyko PowerPak+ battery pack in many 3DS threads and I'll continue to champion it here. Double the battery life, much better hand feel when playing, and cheap!

StreetPass will work when connected to wifi in sleep mode. It alternates between checking for StreetPass and checking for SpotPass.
Ah, that would explain all this "framerate dip" talk. Like I've saying, 3D at half the frame rate of it's 2D counterpart should be less intensive on the hardware then said 2D counterpart, so it wouldn't make sense that 3D would see framerate dips that 2D wouldn't see. Cutscenes being capped at half the frame rate for both modes makes a lot more sense (and would explain why most didn't notice in 2D).dark10x said:

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Cutscenes use HQ assets as well as other effects, like DOF, which is likely why the framerate tanks in these modes. Character models feature more detailed textures than standard fights, and the background is blurred. You can also see this in photo mode, where the famerate too is comparable to the cutscenes/animations.
Doing a bit of testing, I'm suspicious that DOF is the culprit behind the framerate hits. Often the exit/entry fight animations, which make heavy use of DOF, have far worse framerates than many of the cutscenes in Chronicles mode, especially those using little or no DOF.
The system might have a bit of trouble rendering DOF in 3D, or it simply might require optimisation.

Can't wait to get this today! : )
Well why dont you just leave it in the charging dock while StreetPass/SpotPass is activated? That should fix your problem.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong....but putting it in the charging dock with the battery level still full won't hurt the battery.

La Mariposa's DLC costume is just a reskin Tina's. What a jib.

Got the game yesterday and played the first chapter and a few online matches. It does look really good. The few online matches I played were smooth and I actually managed to win a match. This is my first DOA purchase and I'm really enjoying it so far. I just need to get better.

yeah i'm playing chronicle in 3D and everything else 2D.
EatChildren said:
It was like that in DOA4, too. It's because they're shown as tag-team partners in the wrasslin' ring, so you're getting matching costumes. Too bad there's nothing other than CPU tag mode available!
Chorazin said:
I think I may go pick one of these up today. My hands tend to cramp up when playing SSF4 in particular.

You can still play it with a buddy, which is great fun, even if you're stuck fighting AI. The worst part is that when you're playing with an AI buddy they can tag themselves in whenver they like.
That is the worst game design decision of 2011.

It doesn't add a ton of weight, only a few more ounces. The comfort in holding it makes up for any additional wrist fatigue.

Yeah, SSFIV was unplayabe for me using the D-pad until I got the battery.

note, only 48 more minutes until my lunch break and to start re-learning Christie!EatChildren said:
It's been that way since DoA2.
What new moves do character's have?
Kasumi has 2kk
Hitomi has 4kk
Ayane has some spin stuff I don't remember her having. pp6p6
She could have had that in DoA4, but I don't think so. It's been awhile.
Tina has a new throw.
What is new?

arcade mode just can't stop giving you shit. i know it's painfully easy, but i keep coming back for the rewards.
it sure beats the amount of grinding you had to do in 4 to unlock all the costumes.
Been playing through Chronicle (At Chapter 3 now) and a little bit of Arcade. Its been okay so far, I love the fluid animations, and the fighting system is decent, but I feel like I want more in the package... No character endings? :-(. At least there are a bunch of costumes unlocked. And I must have blinked and missed it, but in Chronicle (regarding Ninja Gaiden)
, it says that Irene died in NES NG II, but then she appears later, how?

Picked this up for $30 last night at TRU. As a long time DOA fan I'm really enjoying it. The 3D effects are great, and except for the choppiness in the brief pre-match scenes I think the game is very well done. Plays well on the system, too. Better than DOA4 and I love the move list on the bottom, especially for Tina's multi-part throws. Played a couple matches online and got destroyed, but the experience was quick and relatively lag-free. My favorite 3DS game, along with Ridge Racer. I have SSFIV as well but I simply can't stand playing 6-button fighters with 4-button face layouts, I'll be selling that shortly and sticking with the console/upcoming PC version.

I don't remember DoA having good animation for hair (always been stringy clumps that look and stick awkwardly when it moves), and most of the characters don't wear flowing clothes.
I think the animation in the game is amazing, as always. Consistent with other games in the series.
