Looks like a Hayate re-skin based on the video I've seen here: http://teamninja-studio.com/doadimensions/us/videos/BOSS_ShidenRaidou_720US.flv

Question: I wasn't able to pick up my copy until this saturday, so will there be another chance to get friday's costume?

i have a dumb question: does the whole 3D=30fps/2D=60fps thing mean there will be no battery life advantage to playing in 2D?
i think i'm going to pick this up today with bic camera points, i've never owned a DOA.

The battery life will be longer when played in 2D simply because the top screen doesn't have to be as bright, and the parallax barrier is switched off. The 60fps actually should not make an impact on the battery life. I vastly prefer 2D over 3D in this game. It simply looks better and feels better. The 3D is nice in the Showcase mode but for the fighting 60 fps wins everytime.
I think this is a great DOA to start out if you're new to the series. Hell it brought me back in after DOA4 scared me away for good.
The main difference I noted was that it looks a lot classier than DOA4. Just in terms of pantyshots, the skirts aren't made of anti-grav material anymore and actually behave like they have some weight (allthough it looks more like a lack of processing power)

Yeah, I get that exact same vibe from it. I love it. Only real downside is the strange tag mode.

right, so the reason that 3D generally sucks more battery life is due to brightness and the barrier itself, rather than processing power? got it.
i like that you can switch on the fly, anyway, unlike street fighter's unwieldy solution.

I think the 3D rendering has also quite a strain on the battery life, but in the end, nothing eats more power than a screen and its backlight. And since the brightness has to basically double in 3D, you can imagine the power consumption of the 3D screen to outclass the GPU consumption by far.
The switch in this game is seemless. It's really amazing and makes you realize just how much faster and playable the game becomes with 60 fps.
One odd thing about the game is, that some areas look very very bad. Like some of the skyboxes in the cutscenes and other things look strangely out of place and devoid of colour depth.

Yeah, Tag Mode is obviously designed for human play online. I did all the challenges with EatChildren last night and it was actually pretty fun, you really have this feeling of "trust' developing as you play, taggin your friend out to recover him while also hoping he'll tag you out to recover.
I appreciate it much more after playing it online with a human.

picked up the game just now. sold out almost everywhere in osaka!
wow, you aren't kidding :/ it makes the 3D mode look almost unplayably rough, even though it'd probably seem okay if you couldn't switch on the fly...guess i'll be playing this one in 2D, anyway.

Yeah, I really enjoyed that, trying to balance health and regenation. Playing it with an AI is utter garbage in comparison.

Yeah I guess that's true. Tag mode with a human partner was allways better than playing it alone. Still, they should've left the option to play it alone without CPU.
Ah well. It's a minor thing, and I really enjoy the game, especially the Arcade courses, allthough easy, are exactly what I want: Short fights in my spare time.

wow, this game is nowhere near as smooth online as SSFIV.
still fun though! i'm not so deep into the fighting system but it's very easy to get into.

From the little time I've played around with him he is pretty much identical to Hayate.
He has Hayate's doa3 1k, his doa4 rajin, a new animation for 66kkk - which can be changed to 66k2kk (which is Hayate's normal 2kk mixed into the string) and a new string which is pp6k ( again the 6k already belongs to Hayate). He however cannot do his 9k. I think that's everything.

I had to replay the last 4 or 5 tag challenge matches. The bosses are great fun, Alpha 152 especially. Her sidestep move is amazing.

Got her costume as well 
I don't have enough time lately but whenever my BF needs to do something, I'd quickly grab the game and play training mode. Then I decided to play throwdown and do that Spotpass challenge against Kasumi. I won and got 2 figures, all that training sure payed off It became apparent how besides the moves list, move description is also important.

Hmm, really wanted to buy this game when I get my 3DS, but I've been reading around and people are saying the lag online is horrendous, even if you have a good connection. Is this true?

Depends. I had fluid international matches, but one or two horrible laggy matches. Depends on both players connections.

well all i can say is that i've never had a jerky SSIV match, whereas 90% of my DOA matches so far have been less than smooth (in japan, on a 100 meg connection) - like, even the character selection screen is laggy.
Street Fighter IV 3D Edition has a special menu option to turn on or off the 3D. Turning it off in this menu makes the single player game run at 60fps.Pimpbaa said:
Having 3D on but turning the 3D slider down on the 3DS does not increase the framerate. But it does on Dead or Alive Dimensions.

Thanks for the TRU sale info! I was about to see if I could still buy it on Amazon and get it day 1. I'll just go buy it in a store.
