Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
That is a ridiculously generic character design.

New Dead or Alive 5 Last Round character revealed

It seems like she has some secret powers.
Nah, I'm pretty sure they want that overseas money as well. This is not some obscure, unlocalized visual novel.
! They did do that before with Kasumi and Ayane before aging them up with the rest of the cast (originally 17 and 16 respectively). They just specified their ages as N/A for Western releases.
I remember DOA2H had them in their 20s. I don't understand why fighting devs are so afraid to show a grey hair on their characters, thank god MKX is showing age in all its beauty.
It's a quintessential example of a focus group character design.

Let me get straight: I am not a pervert. I'm just a little bit curious.
Anw, she looks kind of generic imo. Side-tail, school uniform, big boobs... This design is so mainstream that can be found in any anime.
What is her pantsu, guys?

Sakura and Karin where introduced years ago, I imagine that if they never existed and where introduced as new characters in SFV they would get the same hate thanks to the internet. I also don't understand the Lucky Chloe hate, even less the comparison of Lucky Chloe and Marie Rose people keep talking about.
Their core audience overseas isn't canceling their preorders because a character looks too young. The ones complaining are a vocal minority of evangelists who seem to get offended by everything, not fans.
Really? At least this one appears to have a new moveset which implies more testing and job than just importing an existing character and moveset =/

Now I just going to wait for CAPCOM to reveal the new character which obviously will be Ryu's little sister =P

Gonna go out on a limb and guess or hope shimpan
Yeah, Tekken Fanbase was weird on that one. You're probably right about Sak/Karin. And I wouldn't have a problem with marie rose in another game, it's when you start putting her in bathing suits that I have an issue.

If you look at the bottom right of the scan, you can see her using some sort of energy ball
Nah, that's part of Ayane's character.

No, pretty sure it was the same N/A deal instead of using their real ages back then as well (even as of DoA5, neither are in their 20s). That said, most fighting game developers are averse to aging their characters too greatly. Concerns of marketability likely have much to do with that, particularly among Japanese developers.

Well, let's see what happened to Soul Calibur... Cut characters, cut characters everywhere.

Does that look like an 18 year-old to you?
Dude, I have a 20 year old niece and eveywhere she goes people think she is 16 years old. She looks really young for her age.
The thing that makes that worse is the fact that not only does pretty much everyone who did return for SCV look the same, but the choice of a 17-year time skip was admitted by the director to be completely arbitrary (the fact that he picked such a huge leap just because rather than for any particular reason is staggeringly ridiculous).

Looks like a good character pick to me. I like Marie Rose more though cuz she looks like the offspring of Lili Rochefort it's not possible but it still looks cool

Wait, the 17 years wasn't for Sophitia's kids to be fit for fighting? I think SC just tries to push the story element of the game a little too much. Here in DOA, it's just a tournament where the winner doesn't matter and bad guy Doatec is doing experiments.
What is a proper old pervert character with panties on his head vs an improper one?
Who was cut that's really missed?
It's not arbitrary if you look at who was actually cut/replaced. The previous games made SC just about boobs and SCV moved away from that which was a good thing, and why people still don't take DOA seriously.

Just every Korean and dark skinned character...but, who cares about them, AMIRYTE?
That's sorta the point. Sakura and Karin were designed nearly TWENTY YEARS AGO. Lucky Chloe was JUST created. The fact that you're trying to compare her to such old characters and say "see, they're the same!"...sums up the Lucky Chloe angst perfectly. BLAND and TIRED.
Lol, clearly you did not see the SC5 Japanese ad campaign that zoomed in graciously on Ivy's breasts. SC5 is plenty about boobs. The entire series never shied away from fan service...even Soul Blade. Not criticizing, just stating a fact.
You serious?
Setsuka, Zasalamel, Yun Seong, Hwang, Seung-Mina, Talim, Taki, Sophitia...Just off the top of my head.

GenFu looks like the Master Roshi of Dead or Alive. Does that count?

I approve Team Ninja keep on keeping on. If they actually listened to the tumblr and twitter-verse their games wouldn't be half interesting.

So when do these girls start to like they have some muscle on them? For athletes and professional fighters, they sure do look doughy.

Where did you get that from for the measurements?
Will have to do, for now.

hopefully she will get some interesting alt costumes at least
They were the least popular characters in the game.
Seung-Mina has been an after thought ever since Kilik was added in SC1.
Setsuka, Taki, and Sophitia's playstyle are still in the game. Hwang was cut in SC4. Yun Seong and Seung-Mina weren't popular. Zasalamel and Talim didn't fit into the game with the changes that were made to the game engine.

They just need a wishing well type of minigame where you can wish for unlocks. Ill have GenFu wish for the 'worlds most comfortable pair of underwear'-ala Dragon Ball.

Taki's playstyle was sure...but that thing wasnt Taki
also Zasalamel needs to be back because he wields a Scythe, AKA the most badass weapon ever
I didnt even like playing as him much, but I made so many custom Zas based characters just for the scythe

Thanks for that, I appreciate it.
