HONOKA
Super Secret Fighter Chick

Having been raised all her life by her gentle and loving grandmother, Honoka is a sweet, easygoing kind of girl... but when she sees a fight, she cannot contain her excitement, nor the mysterious power surging within her. The truth is, Honoka has this strange knack for instantly learning any fighting move she sees. She's never told anyone about her power, but has been itching to test it out in secret...

Fighting Style:
Honoka takes her favorite moves copied from various sources and fighting styles, and combines them into a unique style which she calls "Honoka Fu". Since her physical condition is that of an average teenage girl, her moves may not always have the same power or reach as the fighter she learned them from. In her Hissatsu-no-Kamae stance, however, she is imbued with an unbelievable strength and becomes capable of techniques she has never seen from any other fighter.

Of course she is, and of course she does...

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I already like her.

 

[Leona Lewis]

Can't wait to see them...er, her, in motion.

 

[raven777]

Yea hayashi teased largest breast size for a while now.

 

[Reknoc]

"Heard you talking shit about μ's, now it's time for a beat down"

 

[Red Liquorice]

Biceeni Asteets - the greatest martial artist of our time.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Of course it's going to be a girl.

 

[delSai]

Oh okay, sure Team Ninja

 

[SargerusBR]

Can't wait to see them...er, her, in motion.

.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I can't wait to see what her moveset is going to be li-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[raven777]

Dont really care for her fighting style. I Just want to see her in motion.

 

[Thoraxes]

dat ponytail

 

[Hours Left]

Of course it's going to be a girl.

We already got the new guy.

Boring, ugly, awful Cyborg Raidou. :/

 

[Ushay]

Of course it was a girl. This'll turn into a dating sim next lol.

 

[Chance Hale]

PC version, here I cum

 

[system11]

Did they mean to post that, early leak? I notice the link has gone dead, even directly from their site.

 

[HyperBitHero]

Jesus is this still a fighting game?

You must fight to keep your hands on the controller.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Sure sounds like a DoA character.

 

[Hours Left]

Did they mean to post that, early leak? I notice the link has gone dead, even directly from their site.

The link works, you got to drag and drop. (Famitsu always is like that.)

 

[Qvoth]

the article basically said great and voluptuous body, nothing about bust size

 

[bobawesome]

God bless you, Japan.

edit: Oh man, that Evangelion collaboration for Tales.

 

[danmaku]

They needed someone to balance Marie Rose.

 

[patapuf]

Of course it was a girl. This'll turn into a dating sim next lol.

Well, the guy was already revealed

DOA is actually pretty balanced genderwise.

 

[Niitris]

Cool, can't wait to see her in action.

 

[system11]

The link works, you got to drag and drop. (Famitsu always is like that.)

Ah thanks, had to force a cacheless reload with the copied link.

 

[Thoraxes]

They needed someone to balance Marie Rose.

If she's a real schoolgirl like it says...

Marie Rose would be likely be older than her.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

dat ponytail

That's a side tail.

 

[RyudBoy]

lol

so they're actually adding a new character? that's cool i guess.

 

[MCD]

Bland and boring. Isn't kokoro a school girl? Sigh...

 

[rockman zx]

Hard to tell anything from that small pic but she looks like Mary Rose redux with different hair colour, The full reveal is on thursday, I hope she has a cool unique fighting style.

 

[DryvBy]

I can't wait to play. If you were expecting a non-busty female character, then you're looking at the wrong thread.

 

[Thoraxes]

That's a side tail.

I couldn't tell by the small pic, but even better! A sidetail is the supreme form.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Ponytail to chouchou.

 

[Mendrox]

Shit, she looks good. Well I need better pictures but I like what I see.

Reminds me a bit of Asuna from SAO lol (school outfit and hair) Glad to see the game adding more things.

 

[Hexa]

That's a side tail.

Wait what? I can't see shit.

*Looks more closely*
*Double take*

YIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

 

[Alx]

Bland and boring. Isn't kokoro a school girl? Sigh...

Isn't she a training geisha ?
Anyway the character background doesn't matter much, they can all be schoolgirls for all I care as long as they have unique appearance and fighting styles.
I'm warming up to the idea of triple-dipping for this DOA episode, two new characters seem good enough to make it worth it, and since there's not much choice in the 3D fighting games department... (I think it's the first time I've owned new generation consoles for so long without playing a fighter... well if you don't count Fighter Within )

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Shit, she looks good. Well I need better pictures but I like what I see.

Reminds me a bit of Asuna from SAO lol (school outfit and hair) Glad to see the game adding more things.

It didn't remind you of Honoka why?

 

[RedAssedApe]

aren't all the characters in this game school girls?

 

[Eolz]

Better than expected, let's wait for the trailer. Obviously she has an official tag team with Marie Rose .
And lol at people saying "of course she's a girl" in a sarcastic way when we know about it since September and when DOA actually has a near 50/50 roster gender ratio.

 

[akilshohen]

Kind of strange. Would have expected something a bit more different.... but still want to see her in action.

With all the different directions the new female characters went in DOA5 aside from maybe Phase 4, this is a bit of a let down. Though it might have been a guest or some other weird concept.

 

[mao2]

the article basically said great and voluptuous body, nothing about bust size

The title says "最胸" which is probably a pun of "最強", meaning strongest, but since there were rumors about the new character having the largest bust, I guess it could mean that too?

 

[Caronte]

Honoka is a school girl with pink hair and apparently has the largest bust?

B-but she's actually a thousand years old dragon or something so it's totally ok.

 

[dreamfall]

In my veins!

 

[Ninja Dom]

It seems like Hayashi has the same big breast fetish that Itagaki seemed to have when he was at Team Ninja. Do you think that was a common interest that they used to discuss?

 

[Mendrox]

It didn't remind you of Honoka why?

I didn't wathc love-live till now... Should I? I love my waifus.

 

[Bomber Bob]

LOL they should have picked Nico best girl
