Does that look like an 18 year-old to you?
Some people look young. Or once a girl turns 18 they are automatically supposed to have a cup size C and up to you?

How many 18 year olds have you met?

Yep, people use it all the time, even with girls with big breasts that are just moe.

The girl I like at work looks that young, and she is around 21 years old. I'd like to think I'm not a lolicon. I don't really think it is that uncommon.Does that look like an 18 year-old to you?
Wonder what the limitation is. I remember Rock Band 3 having a 3000 song limit, but I can't remember the exact reasoning.
That character does not look like an 18 year-old. The design is clearly made to have that "loli" look. I used to teach English to junior high school kids in Japan, ages 12-15. Marie Rose looks like a typical 15 year-old.

Don't bull shit, it obviously just exists to be a peado pandering character.

Well if you had taught English to 18 year olds, maybe you would have seen there are many that look like they could be 15

My point at least is that if you show me a picture of a girl that looks like Marie Rose and told me "guess her age" I would guess 15 , but if you told me "you are wrong, she is 22" I would believe you since I know people that look young but are old. I wouldn't insist that you are lying to me and that she is underage no matter what you say.

I didn't say it wasn't. I just said some people look young. Its pretty obvious what Team Ninja made her for, as I said I think it was a jab at Sweden.
Yup.
Didn't stop the game being sold here though, a major online retailer called Webhallen imported the game and sold it anyway.

What we should be complaning about is that there aren't any old womans or a grandma (I like my fighting games to be as diverse as possible). Even the new Senran Kagura game will have a playable grandma so why are there none in DOA?
Because DoA's audience doesn't want to ogle old ladies...fighting game audiences in general, really.

I don't think we're ready for bikini grandma.
Sure. If you insist.

Oh that's good then. I still found it kinda dumb though, the law that is.
Deep down we know you want that, HK.
I had a 6 foot tall kid in my 3rd grade class years.
Also as aside, that really is Marie Rose's face isn't it?

I know girls who are 20 who looks like 16, 15. It's common. There is even a friend of mine who was 25 and she had to present her identification to buy drinks because the barman didn't believe she wasn't underage.

At least DoA 5 gave them more definable faces though.

Hmm. I didn't expect her default outfit (?) to be so normal.
Yeah from the screens DoA5 looks better in that sense.
I didn't play it though, as my last DoA was 4.
However it's their general art style and direction, so even in DoA5 it's still there (and i don't see why it shouldn't be either) i personally don't like it at all, but to each their own.

Was hoping for a new male character.
Oh well.

Cute but generic
Raidou was the male character. They said a long time ago that there'd be one male, one female.

Hey just think
Either of these new characters could have been Virtua Fighter's Kage.
You know, a ninja character who would go great fighting against the DOA ninja characters.
But that's smart and effort and when you have to churn out a new character you might as well go the lazy route and just make girl in school uniform.

So what is the solution? Never have younger looking people in games? Only do the opposite like what Ayane and Kasumi used to be?
I guess you are sayin it because DOA sexualizes the girls and I understand that point but I think people would hate Marie Rose the same even if she was a Street Fighter or a Tekken character (just look at Lucky Chloe).

so, its lazy to make a whole new character with a new fighting style versus reusing an existing moveset? Phase 4 was lazy, this isn't lazy even if its boring
Wow, a schoolgirl character in a japanese fighting game. I'm just blown away by Team Ninja's ability to keep the formula fresh and exciting! This is exactly the forward thinking we need to keep this industry fresh. Please everyone, buy this so Japan can keep it's relevance in our culture!

Sugoi!
Didn't understand the hate Lucky Chloe got. Also, tons of people love Sakura and Karin, and that would fall under this archetype.
My issue is precisely the sexualization DoA poors on its characters. So, for this series, there is no solution that would be palatable for me.
Even if I don't like the character, I'd rather they spend time on people who will be back for DoA6 over characters from another fighting game. Better to bolster your own roster with your own characters than keep borrowing from a new series.

So what do you guys think her special power is?
Well, Team Ninja has been recycling the same body type/shape/models for years; now that they have a new one to use of course they're going to run it into the ground. D:
Lazy route would be to simply reuse an existing character, like importing Kage from VF, instead of creating a new one from scratch.

Outside of the Ninjas and bosses. DoA characters don't have special powers though.

Sites that translated the pic seem to say she has one, whether or not it's just background info is up in the air.
