DOA Central: (Lite Customization Mode Revealed)

[Providence 777]

So DOA6 actually comes with a lite customization mode where you can change or add a few small items, you can even choose among select color presets.

This is the way customization should be in all fighting games, no stupid items, everything looks good fits character theme, and doesn't break immersion.

I think it'd be cool if the challenges encouraged people to try the different game modes too. Like "Win 2 Tag matche.. oh wait XD

You just gave me PTSD from the future

O, i just thought: it'd be kinda hawt if characters had different win poses that you could choose from, and some of them had to be UNLOCKED, so if someone had a really cool win-pose that was super hard to unlock, you'd know they mean business or whatever lol.

To sort of add on to what Provi said, in the vanilla version of DoA5, while there weren't strictly unlockable win poses, there were hidden ones. For example, Hitomi's "I just keep getting stronger" pose would never happen naturally, so the only way to get it was by holding kick. It kind of gave a sense that you knew some sort of deeper secret, and it was really satisfying hearing people say they'd never seen that pose before despite maining Hitomi themselves. They made it happen normally from 5U onwards, however.

I hope they put in a lot more customization like extra win poses, or something like Soul Calibur's "training videos" that were in the original arcade mode where the characters perform moves. Sure, it looks cooler with weapons but hey...

I can't believe people would have problems with microtransactions. Are you saying you prefer these packs they release now with price tags eclipsing the actual frickin' game? I haven't bought any of them for obvious reasons, but did get 3$ costumes of the original DOA5 on console because I liked them. 3$ for a costumes isn't that much, and it's cosmetic so if it's too much, I'm not buying. Simple. In all honesty: the SFV system is fair enough as you can theoretically purchase everything F2P (except me because I ♥♥♥♥ at the game).

The way it is, right now, the game doesn't reward actual playing behavior. Therefore, partly, the online community is marginal. If they want to increase it, they're basically forced to adapt this model anyway.

[Marginal0]

Let's see. The SFV system is capped to an initial big sum for completing the story + survival mode on easy + normal, which is just playing as you would normally. After that it's just 5K (and now 2.5K for basically starting up the game on a weekly basis. You can gain some more if you play online I guess (which I don't). Given the prices, that is fair imo. It would be better if costumes weren't "pay only".

I believe characters are unlocked as they are released, just not playable (like in DOA). Given the amount of new content, I'd say that's fair too. I think most people agree. SFV was mainly critisized for its bare-bones game modes. It was basically online only on release, which is why many, me included, didn't get it at first.

In the end it all comes down to fair pricing. If DOA5LR is the standard, I fear it'll indeed be 3$ for sunglasses, but if they go back to the original DOA5 DLC, it'll be more fair. But let's hope it doesn't come to that as it's pretty tiring to get your digital wallet ready and confirming for frickin' sunglasses.

DOA games already let you choose winposes.

I don't see why DOA6 would be different, nor do I see a reason to lock it behind the customization mode.

Some new costumes just got teased on their facebook page.

So, remember how Kasumi made a 5 second cameo in Ninja Gaiden 2? Well, if you throw down that pre-order, you can finally have that costume in game.

And that Honoka costume.

[Kuriishi]

Aw, they're not really that new. I made a thread about it when they were revealed almost 2 weeks ago now. Here is said thread

But yeah, I like that Kasumi costume. Also, that costume isn't the "early purchase" bonus. It's the Deluxe Edition Bonus as seen here[teamninja-studio.com]

[Marginal0]

I don't like that Ayane costume, just like the Resident Evil Revelations one its design is obviously based on. Asymmetry is fine, but this just looks stupid. Honoka's is straight-on lingerie. It baffles me people still complain about lack of fan service. This proves my point that they weren't planning on reducing it at all. It was just not the first thing they wanted to reveal given their new (and understandable) focus. I hope people calm down now.

The new stages look great (Miyabi & Colosseum). But why not remodel some of the old stages? That'd be great. I loved the addition of old music in DOA5. Please continue this trend. I don't mind paying extra for the extra retexturing, but I doubt they will add it as it spawns a bunch of people who want it all for free.

The only thing attracting me to the Deluxe set is the BGM set, and it's probably enough to convince me. Too bad it was free in this game... Does anyone know it's actually new tracks or is it the free one we got with DOA5?

The Throwdown stage is literally just Street with different lighting and danger zones. Zero is just the Lab stage (they have hinted at there being breakable glass and stuff in a tweet), The Muscle is just Fighting Entertainment with different textures. So really, they're already doing what you want XD. Also, the Colosseum isn't one of the newest stages. The other "new" stage is Hidden Garden, which itself is an extension of Miyabi kinda like Temple of the Dragon/Sakura in DoA5 (one of my favourite stages personally)

I'm actually surprised, this is the first time I've heard someone talk about wanting the BGM set. I'm not exactly sure what it is, I mean, it's just 3 tracks. What could they be?

Most of the people complaining about lack of fanservice still, are the people who stopped following the news of the game after those initial interviews for DOA6, where the director enthusiastically promoted the lack of fanservice, because they haven't seen what's been revealed since then.

Until he makes a statement which boldly contradicts those interviews, denoucing SJW ideas, many people will never see the fanservice costumes the game has to offer.

Breast size is still reduced for no good reason at all beyond pointless virtue signaling.

People are still angry about the bad default costume for Kasumi and Leifang, but those issues aside I think they've done ok at fixing the issue of lack of fanservice.

But your point is still wrong, claiming that they never planned to reduce it at all. Why would they boast so much so often about reducing it, if they were always planning to contradict it all, which conveniently took place instantly after fan backlash? Really think about that.

I think Leifang's default is really cool and I don't even like the colour yellow. I think it's pretty neat as it's a throwback to Jann Lee'sThis Bruce Lee thing[vignette.wikia.nocookie.net] in colour scheme and everything (since she's been fawning over him since forever it totally makes sense). It's form fitting, bright and the midriff is a nice design element that also makes practical sense. At the same time, it's also quite similar to this one[vignette.wikia.nocookie.net] from DoA 1.

I can get behind the fact that not everyone likes the same thing but I definitely wouldn't cast Leifang's outfit in the same basket as Kasumi's which is just unequivocally bad.. Also, Leifang's outfit[teamninja-studio.com] has tassels and tassels are cool XD

Hitomi's is bad (in the sense that it's boring) but she's had that outfit before and she is a plain character so it also makes sense

There is hardly any resemblance between the two costumes dude.

The DOA1 is better in every possible way (except in color theory lol)

Regardless of that, it's not really the point. The point is that Leifang's outfit isn't as objectively bad as Kasumi's

I still don't like it.

It looks too much like a generic "athelete" uniform, no personality or character to it beyond those tassels, which are the only thing that show some personality.

I think there's definitely a resemblance. The Bruce Lee one though... apart from the color, there's nothing. I agree the DOA1 one is better. Here's hoping they just remodel the "vintage" costumes (and you can call it vintage by now after 10? editions of the IP).

As for the Honoka costume... Are we talking about the same costume here? So far we've seen her "traditional" schoolgirl one. There's the (imo pretty awesome) pink-white hoodie. We are talking about this one:

https://n4g.com/news/2205071/dead-or-alive-6-gets-another-new-deluxe-costume-for-honoka

If you call that a wrestling outfit, you don't exactly seem familiar with wrestling, in any shape or form. (though I guess it could be in Rumble Roses :p) The author of the article does seem to agree with you, though he probably played RRXX too at some point.

I'm all for more outfits, but in the end, I mainly use the default ones anyway.
