Just for comparison's sake, here are the Collector's Editions of the "other" big fighting games. Something about DOA5's presentation just strikes me as being done better than the other games'.

I just pre-ordered Dead or Alive 5 CE from GameStop... it's running me close to $100 in total for the game and international fees. Uh-oh, I hope that number is in CAD... Additionally, the SCV Strategy Guide is only $9.99 at the GameStop website, but it's not available online. Wow. I went and...

AAAGH. Why?! Why can't I have both?! From what I understood from that article, the Collector's Edition will have the pre-order costumes for the full cast of female characters right? If so, that's a relief.

Oh wait, it's DLC and not CE? Or is it both? ...Which will be cheaper? :\ (Betting money on CE)

:( My choice of characters for this game just happen to be "up there on the tier list". Hitomi, Akira, and Hayabusa. I'm using Hayabusa obviously for the izuna drop.

Oops. I meant to ask if she was playing SCV throughout E3. In any case, I'm really looking forward to this game. I haven't been this excited to play a video game in so long. I also really enjoyed that stream: the Kasumi mirror match between sWooZie and Kayane was pretty good, but the match...

Haha. That's a tough call. In their defense, they have a really significant reason that leads me to believe they didn't stage it: they play each other sooo often that it's really difficult to get into that competitive mindset. If they did stage it, it wouldn't even matter since the money is...

Holy shiit... What... did I witness? DOA5 FOR EVO 2013!

Ooooh my god! That Kayane vs sWooZie Kasumi mirror match. Even more excited for when this game drops. Good show, Kayane!

Vanessa plays a solid DOA5 IMO. Kayane isn't bad, but Vanessa does have more professional DOA experience.

OMG Happening now. Kayane vs Vanessa. http://www.twitch.tv/ipldoa Update: :( Our SC representative Kayane got sent to loser's brackets by Vanessa.

I fully understand where you're coming from. However, and this is just what I enjoy personally, I liked to counter-kill on reaction with the hidden blade without getting hit. It was a fun little challenge I made for myself because yes, the sword and short sword fighting was pretty lackluster.

:O it was garbage? When I wasn't advancing the story, I had fun killing fools with hidden blade only via counters. Missions may be repetitive but it wasn't all that bad. I mean, it makes sense: this is what Altair does day in, day out.

I'm surprised at the general inactivity of this thread. Did you all not know there was a DOA5 E3 Tournament that was streamed live? One/two tournaments for each day of E3. Likewise, June 7 (Today) will be the last DOA5 tournament. I think they mentioned it will be happening 10AM PST...
