so yeah I think the evidence of this list being accurate can be easily seen through Rig who was proven to be real after all. the main question to ask is whether they added characters/costumes/etc... after the beta and what will be different.

so to the people wondering what other new characters there will be don't expect much else besides Mila. whoever she is.

OK..this may sound stupid but maybe it is Alpha...

Yeah I agree, if it's not Kasumi then it's surely Alpha. Don't think it looks like Hitomi at all. Still think it's Kasumi though.

...and a Mission/Trial ? Mode..i think..

If you want to get good in 5, play DOA 3.1 or VF5FS.

Crazy talk. That's like saying pre-SCV "you should get SC1 and SFIV to practice for SCV, because of the simplified movelists and meter management; don't bother with SCIV".

@JetSet Of course getting DOA4 would be helpful. Many of the strings will be the same or similar and help you get used to the animation, as well as a feel for the game and the basic system. There's no need to buy an old Xbox and dig up DOA3, or spend time learning a completely different fighting game, to prepare for DOA5.

No it won't. Stuff that works defensively in DOA 4 does not work in 5

This is a game, whether or not a style works in real life doesn't really matter.

I mean picking up any DOA tittle since he is new to the series will help him start getting use to everyones combos, and though they have change a bit, it will still help him to recognize the combos, in that sense it will help... :D

And DOA 4 would be the best choice since the combos are closest to that version!

what i'm saying is that this game seems to be focused on true martial arts forms. Boxing's not one of them.

This is a game where ninja's teleport around the screen, that doesn't seem to be a "true martial art" form to me.

Except that picking up DOA4 to prepare for 5 is like picking up Street Fighter III to prepare for SFIV. The underlying meta is so different that you're doing yourself a disservice.

Except that everyone knows that DOA 4 is crap. Even TN knows this, why do you think that they have 3.1 running in their offices as reference and not 4?

4 will simply teach you bad habits. The way holds worked in that game is way different from 3.1 or 5. 3.1 is closer just for the fact alone that you can't freely hold out every time you get hit. 4 is a very defensive game that gives the advantage to the defender when they make a mistake. From the looks of it, 5 is going to be the opposite. Stricter hold timing plus the combination of string delay and free cancel seem to point to a game where the defending player has to work harder to predict the attacking players moves for less reward when they do. Playing 3.1 will at least keep you from relying on holding out to escape every situation (the only valid strategy in 4). Then, there's also the bonus that any competitive DOA players you meet will probably be playing on 3.1 as well.

As for VF5FS, the latest reports indicate that the VF guests will keep stuff from VF that the DOA cast not only doesn't have, but may have trouble dealing with. It's pretty much known that Sarah could frame trap the rest of the cast to death in the E3 build. That probably wont change much in the final build.
