I'm done with UNIEL for the night. Getting back into the habit of OS throw+3C against Assaults or shield regular jump air attacks.

Always feels weird getting back into the shield mechanic.

DOA5 tournaments are banning a lot of the outfits that are in the game, including innocent ones like this.

Part of me has no problem with this. Some of the DOA 5 outfits are pretty revealing, even by DOA standards. I imagine this is an "image" thing.

Then again, I remember playing Mortal Kombat 9 at EVO 2011, and being told to not perform fatalities when I was asked to perform a match on stream. A couple of days later, REO's playing Mileena in her flesh pits costume doing fatalities to Perfect Legend during grand finals. 'Guess it's all dependant on if those tournament directors want to enforce the rules.

I'm probably in the minority but I'm down for TOs asking players to keep the sling bikinis off stream. What's wrong with the ninja girl though? ;w;

Edit: And no I don't really have a problem with the outfits, but it does help out in image some I think.

Considering the amount of support Team Ninja has provided to the DoA community (pot bonuses, in game shoutouts to the scene and what not) and how much monetisation is based around costumes, I can imagine the devs not being too happy when the bans start effecting the game's bottom line. I don't care what anyone says, less exposure definitely won't be helping them in that regards.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you and shooting yourself in the foot. If they didn't want DLC costumes they could just not have it on the consoles in the first place instead of drawing all this extra attention with the ban. Now they've got censorship opponents and moral guardians being drawn into the mix, shitting things up even further.

"Haha tricked you into buying DoA by making you think it was wholesome! Enjoy the tits!"

PS2 3S different meter building or damage amounts than arcade. And ran at a different speed.
 
I thought it was because getting all the DLC available on all consoles would be too much of a hassle but apparently it's because some of them are too "sexy"?

Yeah some of the DOA commentators were mentioning it during Winter Brawl. Apparently since Tecmo is putting money into this Battle Royal 2015 tour thing, the community came to Tom Lee with an agreement not to use any of the racy costumes (on stream at least).

They want DOA to be more legit... but just pretending like the pervy stuff doesn't exist won't make the problem go away. Good luck to them though!

The reasoning was the same as Blanka's alt in ssf4. They say it's too distracting. They are somewhat correct.
 
Damn, this tournament, very impressive field. Luffy out, Dieminion in losers, Valmaster in losers, Top 16 winners is still looking loaded. Sako vs. Ryan Hart is the big one in top 16
 
Well it's also the same as "don't do fatalitys" on stream at EVO. There's some kids watching and when you know how USA can't deal with sexuality it's better to stay safe.
