Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

SO. MUCH. SIDEBOOB. O_O

So all the girls are getting gym outfits. This pleases me. Is this out already or are we still waiting for it?

Doesn't seem to be so. Just Kasumi, Ayane, Kokoro, and Hitomi. This also applies to the school uniform set. Damn.

Is it just me who has yet to find a way to justify dropping $5 on even one of these? Mila in a Hitomi knockoff just doesn't do it for me, in a bunny bikini even less so, and all of Ayane/Kasumi's good costumes were in the game already. All I really have left is Rig, and he just looks weird in Jann Lee's knock-off. Well, he just looks weird period, but still.
 
I think to add to that the game design aspect of making new comers learn to play even closer towards a competititve level player is still distant.

I mean sure you got the competititve community but there are ppl who just play w/o bothering with online forums. DOA 5 in particular has a training mode session though maybe not as robust as VF4's training mode as some ppl would say I think the training mode even if it is perfected so many times, learning from it alone wouldn't suffice to become much more closer to a competitive players level.

There's also the AI to consider with their nearly god-like predictions but with patterns that they cannot learn to adapt from. Even if you have an AI that behaves human-like they don't adapt.

Story construction could've been better just like Mortal Komboat 9 you start off with characters you don't know about and you just randomly mash buttons if players can be interupted with a dialogue or some sort that tells not only how to execute but to perform certain movesets in certain situations I think newcomers will come to understand better.

So I think game design for fighting games aren't perfect but they could've been better to get newcomers close to what competitive players play.
