Why still no customizable costumes/gears? That would be really awesome imo.
Ehhh... Maybe. I've always enjoyed the fact that DOA's alt costumes actually look like solid DESIGNS, instead of the jumbled, poorly fitting mess that something like Tekken offers.
Soul Calibur is kind of a middle of the road most of the time, with moments of greatness, and VF seems to do the custom outfits best, as the outits look like they actually fit the character bodies, more often then not.
But DOA generally gives you an army of costumes (even a decent amount for the men), while actually making them all look as good as, say, Tekken's bettwe 2nd player alts.
Hope we see a return of the Tecmo's deception alts the series has had for Ayane and Helena, those were always pretty nice...

Lei Fang looks pretty good, even in that somewhat awkward outfit. Glad to see her traditional dress is here too, and I actually like this goofy suit more in motion, that in those scans. She's always had a few "naughty" outfits, though her personality never seems to go in that direction...
Zack looks pretty good too, he's definitely ZACK. (I hope he still has his "A Legend began at this moment!" victory line in there, nice moment of semi-seriousness from him). He does look a bit light-skinned, but maybe it's a lighting thing?
I never had an issue with "moving hazards" either, they always seem to be suprisingly manageable, like they're much more about spectacle, rather than actual danger. If you get hit by one, it's mostly because you were actually set up into it, rather than just a random occurance. Good to hear the "hazards OFF" thing was in the demo though. (Hey, is that demo ever going free and public, or still tied to Nin3 only... bleh.)
Anyway, it's great to see some subtle emotion on the DOA's cast faces. While I'm still wary of DOA w/o Itagaki, they seem to have tapped into this series' spirit fairly well.
So of lei's animations are weird.
She's always been like that, heh. But yeah.
