Where is Lisa, Mila, Rachel, Christie and Tina?
Only unknown and uninteresting characters are added...

Don't forget Tina Armstrong.:steamsad: I think the team are either not interested to include them into the team, or the main DOA team did not allow them to be included in the game.

i think this has been mentioned a dozen times before, but since folks are not keen on using the search function for the forum, here the short version:

they did a poll some years back about which characters should be included in doax 3:
https://www.siliconera.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/f3bb37c0.jpg

the top 9 characters made the cut and were also the ones chosen for doax vv (including newcomer misaki). as you can see, lisa is at the bottom of the barrel, rachel and mila got the 3rd and 4th worst result, respectively. they probably deemed it more profitable to make new characters than to include ones that are not popular anyway.
the only reason leifang was added later on as the third paid girl is probably because she was only 0.1 % away from the top 9 characters.

so in short, as much as i would like to see mila here (don't care about rachel, don't like lisa), it will probably never happen.

In my opinion, this is the height of stupidity, one survey can mean nothing. And certainly famous characters are better than dolls with the same face with different hairstyles ...

Tina is a cool character and better than the latest copy paste from Misaki(what's her name - Nanami seems)...

some ppl mentioned that the survey was PAID. meaning if ppl are willing to spend money just to decide what gets added in a freaking video game, then i'd pay attention cause these folks mean business (literally). and if enough ppl voted, they probably deemed it enough as basis for the character selection.
lastly, the domestic market is probably way more important for the doax games since the us probably still hates on the series due to their sjw crap.

Ок. For me, this is a stupid step, but I'm not a marketer ... And Lisa, Tina and others at least have different faces and stand out in some way, and are not faceless dolls like the last two girls.

And to the last two dolls, I forgot to add the dull Patty, which looks like a failed modding attempt in DoA 5.

i don't like 2 girls from the initial 10 either (one is meh, the other just unnerving). but lisa could probably give both of them a run for their money. her dancing/wrestling (?) fighting style is strong and fast in the main games, but hell, she's the most annoying character in the franchise. with all the things that went wrong in that poll, her getting last place was justified.

In some ways you are right, but Lisa has a bright appearance and has been in almost all DOA games since 2003 and occupies an important place in the plot of the series ...

as you and some others pointed out, zack island is a cloning facility frozen in time and has nothing to do with the main games.
lisa appeared in doa 4 to 6, so basically only half of the main series. others like leon appeared way earlier, but were ultimately cut (i personally prefer leon over bayman, but the latter was in the first game already, so they left him in i think).

But Lisa and others were in Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball 1,2 and Paradise ....

who cares. bottom line is the japanese/asian core audience is the one paying for the bulk of the games (especially since doax3 had no official "western" release).
leon appeared even earlier and was cut as well. he's a true loss unlike lisa.
nothing we say or do here will change anything anyway.

Maybe when sales drop due to dull content, some of the developers will come here and see this discussion. Dreams ...

when in-game sales drop, this game gets dropped. they'll make an announcement, and after a deadline of 60 days the servers go offline.

In any case, I'm tired of being silent. And I, as a fan of the series, expressed my opinion ...
